the Pail Mall Gazette. Crimson, gray,

heather and rich red brown of cut
turf-colors all heaped together in
matchless profusion. Water among
it, sometimes brown and the laughing
eyes as it ripples purring over the
stones; or still and blue, and roaming
in pools rejecting the great tender
ness Of the sky.
Little clouds on the horizon laugh
ing too; but different laughter from
the streams. More gray, perhaps, but
less full and contented theirs. But
the Joy of the color is doubled and
trebled when form of mountain and
moving sound of the sea are added
beautiful calm mountains, unchanged
themselves, but changing to suit many
moods; gray-veiled in silence. deepest

In letter from Calcutta. Frederick
]. Haskin. correspondent for syn
dictate Of American newspapers. truly
says that the primary cause of the
present unrest in India Is education
1t is blunder on the part Of England
to educate her Indian subjects If she
has no desire Of giving them a repres-
entative form Of government. To
make them submissive to British law
they must be kept in ignorance of the
depredations committed on their coun :
try. How can an educated Hindoo
read without Indignation Of the atroct-
ties perpetrated by Warren Hastings,
as told by Burke and Sheridan in their
impeachment of that scoundrel? What
England should do, is to deprive the
Indians Of education and make it a
felony to teach them anything. That's
what she did to the Irish through the
penal laws Of the 18th century.

cannot be sainsaid. but it. is q mat
ter Of regret that o'Connell was not
engaged in better work under the Stars
and Stripes than chasing the Moros,
who do not tamely submit to a for
eign yoke in the land of their birth.
His own forefathers were hunted as
outlaws" by the English in Ireland.
The fact that the Moros are out
lawed" by their conquerors shows they
still retain a spirit of independence.
True Americans should admire the

is dificult thing for an 1rishman or
any other man to practice total abstin-
ence; but an Irishman can do it If he
makes a firm resolution to abandon
the company Of his drinking associates
1rishmen have made many sacrifices
for faith and fatherland, and they pos
sess the will power to exercise the
demon of intemperance from their
midst for the sake of their beloved
country. Let them drink less than
they are doing, at any rate, and in
that way they will pay less toward the

The Broad Quastion.

Some one asked James J. Hill If he
thought there was any practical need
of conservation Of our natural re-
sources and his answer was:
I'VE are .hddling while Rome burns!
Why is there a scarcity Of wheat? The
Valley of the Euphrates was once the
garden Of the earth. Why did that
sceptre OF greatness pass away? When
Greece was master of the known world
why were laws enacted pronouncing
sentence Of death on any one shipping
grain beyond Crete?
"Why did Rome build her wonderful
roads but to bring food from foreign
countries? Why did Spain launch out
on a policy of foreign conquest but to
bring from abroad the wealth which
her own soil could no longer yield?
Why did Greece and Rome and Spain
fall back from the leadership of the
nations just as soon as produce ceased
to pour in from abroad?
VIC are S1OWA18 IIOIc WHedL tIidu
ever before in the history of this coun-
try" he says in Outing, but the de-
mand is growing faster than the sup
ply. European countries that form
erly used scarcely any white bread
now use from a pound to pound and
a half of -four per capita week. and
our own population is growing faster
than the food supply.
That is where conservation touches
us practically, but we need not worry.
Nature is going to take care Of things.
When wheat does not average SO much
an acre it is not worth raising. Do
you know how long 1t took England
to mend her methods-to raise her
averages from twelve and fifteen to
twenty five and thirty and forty
bushels an acre? It took her almost
fifty years.
In fifty years what population will
we have to feed? And we have not
even begun to mend our methods. It
is the supremely big question OF the
day. Our farm averages are not q
third Of what they ought to be. of what
they could be made by simple, rational
methods"

The Dundalk Democrat, commenting
on the great temperance meeting at
Armagh says: The temperance move
ment of our day differs widely from
that Of Father Mathew II is not
founded on wave Of enthusiasm. but
on reason and common sensn and ma
tional duty. 1t has not swept the coun-
try like the fierce flame kndled by
the great Apostle of the Torties. 1t
has been slower in its growth, and,
like everything Of slower growth, more
substantial and enduring. The days
OF national intemperance are past. The
new generation is more enlightened,
more self-restrained.

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

49, SNSS. VT 10elNSes
On another page is given an account
Of great temperance demonstration
in the North of Ireland More than
10000 persons gathered in the primatial
city of Armagh on a recent Sunday
and listened to a temperance address
from Cardinal Logue urging the peo-
toxicating drink. Though the Irish
people lead all Europe in temperance,
yet they drink more alcoholic bever-
ages than their means can allow. They
do not drink so heavily as the Eng
lish and Scotch who are weather. than
they. but they drink too much accord
ing to their means. The national
liquor bill is sixty-fve million dol
lars a year, and for a country of less
than five million population. that is
too much. OF course the aristocracy
and British offlceholders spend half
that sum. but the other half is too
much for the plain Irish people to
appetite.
ireland sober is Ireland free" has
been frequently heard from temper
ance platforms. We are of the opin-
ion that the words were originally
coined by that great advocate of tenn
perance. Archbishop Ireland of ST..
Paul. The words are known in Ire
land today, for they were used on a.
banner carried in the procession at
Armagh. The Dublin Freeman's Jour
nal refers to them editorally and says:
"A nation sober and disciplined,
clear Of head, steady Of hand, in full
control Of It's will and senses, will not
long remain in slavery. for a sober ma
ton rebels against serfdom. and when
sober nation revolts against a thing
like serfdom the nation has a knack
OF winning. And 50 we say that there
is SO much truth in ireland Sober;
Ireland Free that we hope the words
will not disappear from mons view
and will not cease to come from mems
tongues. Anything that strengthens
the temperance cause is a clear. an
unmistakable national benefit II in
deed for no other reason than that
the growth and development Of tenn
perance amongst the masses Of our
people necessarily increases their self
respect and their self-reliance, and
must improve their mental and moral
fibre"
While the Freeman's Journal denies
that the Irish are more addicted to in
temperance than their neighbors, the
English and Scotch, it admits that
there is great deal too much of in
toxicating drinking done In Ireland. and
while it is all very we'll to say that
the Englishman and the scotchman
consume more intoxicants than the
1rishman, the Britishers drink out Of
their abundance, while the 1rishman
drinks out of his poverty
Cardinal Logue Is doing a patriotic
work when he is intoxicating the pria-
ciples Of temperance and sobriety
among the Irish people. He says in
his address that when giving confirm
alton he administers a pledge to the
young people to abstain from all in
toxicating liquor until they are 81
years of age. That is the proper thing
to do He should administer a pledge
to the adults to keep from drinking
