LIBERAL RULE IN IRELAND.

That tho English Liberals in Pc Y sr
act like Tories was recently exempli-
fed in the case Of Mr. John Farrell,
M. p, for Longford, who is incarcer-
ated at Kilmainham Jail for six
months, without trial by jury, und err
an antiquatcd .tatute Of Edward i'll,
who won the battle of Crecy over 500
years ago. That fact alone Is proc.
positive that England is away behind
other nations in the march of prog
ress--that its government is effete and
entirely out of date, and that a new
one is sadly needed to meet the re-.
quirements of this advanced age IN
which we live. .4-.s f.st - :.
Reviving coercion law more than
five hundred years old to punish a
courageous Irish journalist. who is q
member of parliament, and a man Of
recognized ability and unblemis:1ed
character. is disgrace to British civ-
ilization III the twentieth century.
There may be some excuse or pallia-
tion for such treatment of the editors
of India, but none at all for the editors
OF the British islands, who are merely
carrying into effect tho policy already
pledged to be enacted into law by the
. beral party in power. 9-s
Flow can Irishmen support party
like that? Are they expected to kiss
the hand that smites them? Is it any
wonder that Irishmen Of spirit have
lost faith in English parliamentary
lies" Is it any wonder that they
care but little whether a Liberal or
Tory party is In power, so far as tho
welfare OF Ireland is concerned?
Wasn't it the Liberals who were in
power when O'Connell was impris-
oned: Wasn't it Gladstone, tho
grand old man," who cast Parnell In
to, Kilmainhal.: Jail? And now AS
quith, the head Of the Liberal party
revives an obsolete statute to throw
an Irish member of parliament into
Jail for six long months. Why. we ask,
should the Irish Home Rule party SUP
port the Liberals at the approaching
general elections? TURN THE IN
CRATES OUT.
What crime was Mr.. Farrell guilty
Of to get six months imprisonment
from three Of Edward the Seventies
judges in Ireland? He was charged
with denouncing grabbing for
cattle ranches instead of giving the
land to the people for agricultural pur-
poses, despite the fact that Mr.. Birroll,
the chief secretary, has promised 10
Introduce II bill in the next session Of
parliament for the removal OF the very
grievance denounced BY Mr.. Farrell IN
his paper. On a recent occasion Mr..
Birrell declared that the question was
one between cattle and men," and
that he favored men in preference t !.
cattle. AMI yet Mr.. Farrell is depriv-
ed of his liberty for six months for ad-
yocating the same policy in the co,-
umns of his paper! HI
In letter to Mr.. Farrell. John O.

the government at this time is both

graph showing the institution of two
damage suits against the District on ac-
count of injuries alleged to have been
sustained through distractions in the
idewalk-projecting water boxes. .abnor-
NAL depressions or like conditions.
/ remember trying to get our three
mayors twenty years ago to adopt and
enforce regulations which would put an
end to damage suits for this cause. They
did issue orders to the police force whose
beats cover every sidewalk in the city,
requiring that every obstruction should
be promptly reported. That may have
been done for a time, but it is evident
that the machine fails to connect at some
point, for distractions still exist and are
not at once corrected. / suppose there
is dereliction by some officer in the Dis
trict building whose duty it is to at once
cause the removal of the obstruction, or
If from any cause that cannot be done, to
cause danger signs to be placed.
There is absolutely no excuse for dam
age suits against the District for .ths
cause. Common business methods might
easily be adopted SO to absolutely tix
the responsibility for the existence of
such excuses for damage suits. =

maneuyers on a vast scale on the plains

assumed to have conveyed transports to

Classification of Finland :

This verdict doubtless was framed as
personal consolation for Nicholas, but
the all-important fact is that the
maneuvers were used as convincing argu-
ment for proceeding with the Russifica-
ton of Finland.
If a Russian fleet held Sveaborg. the
rocky stronghold outside Helsngfors, no
invading convoy could advance within
two hundred miles of Narva. The i'm
perative necessity of converting Sveaborg
into Russia s strongest place of arms In
the north is all the more urgent,
Cronstadt is now recognized as obsolete
and topogra phically impossible as a fort
ress, owing to the long range OF modern
artillery and the use of submarines anu

The friends of Finland will plead in
vain against this invasion of their rights.
