There is a situation in the Western
isles which would delight the soul of
Charles Lever.
Futile attempts have been made to col
lect rates from the people of Aran, Val
entia and other Islands off the mainland,
but the police, or saigh diuri dubha
(black soldiers) as they are called, have
been unable to land and have returned In
their boats with the rate collector, &C
companied by the jeers of the recalcitrant
islanders. The people of Aran are de-
termned to maintain their opposition to
the Galway council, although, as In the
past, it will be a bloodless battle, and
they will probably merely push the boats
off as they approach.
Their attitude is rather that of the
Orange farmer who told his Catholic
friend, "I am saying, Willie, If 1t comes
to war and you and me finds ourselves
on opposite sides, I will shoot over your
head and you will shoot over mine, for,
man dear, I'd be 10th to kill ye."
Galway county council has been giving
the subject much consideration and at
the usual quarterly meeting a collector
was appointed after much discussion.
One applicant for the post stated that he
was "a strong man. feet II In height"
That is the man we want" observed the
chairman amid loud laughter.

STARTS FROM SPARK

Dublin, August 27.-(special.) 1.-The brew
ers and distillers in Ireland are face to
face with a peril which far outweighs the
hailed Lloyd George budget and they are
at a loss as to how to meet it.
| It is the 'catch-my-pal'' temperance
movement which started some months ago
| in Ulster and is rapidly spreading
throughout the island. Already 1t num-
bers more than 10000 members in Ulster
and is growing with such rapidity that 1t
already has seriously cut down the con-
sumption of beer and spirits with the APP
parent likelihood that in some communi-
ties the sale of their alcoholic beverages
will be wiped out completely.
| One of the most remarkable temperance
demonstrations ever held in Ireland took
place recently at Baronscourt, the seat
of the Duke of Abercorn. when about
5000 members from districts all over North
| Tyrone and part of Mid-Tyrone attended.
| The Rev. DR.. R. J. Patterson, founder
of the movement, said that year ago
| it was started by spark, SO to speak,
from passing train, and that spark had
set the whole Ulster prairie on fire. He
believed that not only would Ulster be
affected. but the whole of the three
kingdoms would be stirred to the depths
by the movement
Some people objected to the name,
Catch My Pal" but his fellow citizen of
Armagh, the grand old man of evan
gelical Christendom, the primate of all
ireland, said in his own Cathedral that he
was glad the movement had got that
name, as It had a half-playful twang
about 1t that appealed to the popular i'm
agination. He the speaker) looked for
ward to the day when two or three hun
bred pals would present Catch My Pal
brooch to the queen, and he suggested
that the Duchess of Abercorn would be
the medium whereby they might convey
the brooch. When Queen Mary wore
Catch My Pal brooch 1t would become the
fashion. and every lady in the land would
do the same.
The huge assembly at the close repeated
their pledges and their watchword, I'VE
will see this thing through"

TIE COST OF TIE BILL.

| Representative Samuel w. Smith. of
Michigan, has presented Congress a
startling statement as to the probable
cost of The National Tribune pension
! bill. Mr.. Smiths devotion to the inter
ests of the veterans is undoubted, and
whatever he says in their behalf is en-
| titled to great consideration. The fig
ures which he gives, however, are liable
to great shrinkage. We will admit, as
| The National Tribune has admitted
frankly, that if the bill had been passed
June so, 1909. it might be made to cost
something more than half of the $52,-
100000 which Mr.. Smiths figures rep
resent; but it must be kept in mind
that the bill was not passed June 80,
1909, and we can say almost with GER
tainty that it will not be passed June
so, 1910. Between June 80, 1909. and
June so, 1910, there will have passed
away fully $4,000 of the pensioners that
were on the rolls June 80, 1909. This
would mean at once a reduction of S.
900, 900 from that estimate Before the
bill can now possibly pass there viii be
many more millions saved to the Gov
ernment by the ravages OF death among
the pensioners. This shows that, even
admitting the figures to be true at the
time that they We're made. how abso-
lutely unreliable they must be as to the
cost of the pension bill by the time it is
passed. In addition to the enormous
loss by death there must be other high
ly important reductions, which will rem
der these figures still more unreliable.
1t must be kept in mind all the time,
too, that there is now no source from
which this pension list can be swelled.
In all previous pension legislation there
have been great numbers of unpen-
STONED who would come In under the
new laws This has at last become a
negligible quantity. June 80, 1903,
there We're less than 5000 original ap-
plicatiens on file of veterans of the civl
war, and the report of the operations
of the Bureau for the month of Decem-

that month, which is in strong contrast

HIGH FOOD PRICES.

In the present agitation over the in
creased cost of food several very i'm
portant items are left out of considera-
ton. In the first place, people want to
live very much better than their faith
ers and grandfathers did, and they de-
mand as necessaries things that their.
fathers would have regarded as impos-
sible luxuries. Everybody wants early
vegetables but early vegetables come
high. People want the things they get
from the grocers prepared in the best
style, done up in fancy boxes and de-
livered to them by a neat wagon driven
by smart young man. All these things
have to be paid for. Then, this vigorous
food inspection costs money in every
direction. If 10 per cent of any given
lot Of food is thrown away, the remain
ing 80 per cent must pay the cost of
that destroyed. Next, Food Inspectors
are high-priced men, and their wages
must be paid by the Ultimate Con-
sumers." For example, the potatoes
for the family's consumption for the
week must come high when they are

which they had to pay for the saving
of the Nation, and as simple justice to
the men who won the great victory for
the existence of our Government. In
every community the value of the SER
vices of the veterans who are still men,
bers of the community is becoming bet
ter known and appreciated, and public
sentiment is ripening toward a more
generous recognition and provision for
them. The loud talk about inordinate
and undeserved pensions has virtually
ceased. In every community are seen
men and women of the highest charac-
ter who are struggling bravely along to
make both ends meet on their meager
S12 month, and their neighbors and
acquaintances are becoming more unan-
imous that they should have a more
generous provision from this great Gov
ernment. We are certain that this feel
ing Will grow rapidly, and that the sue
cess of The National Tribune bill in the
near future is as certain as anything
can be in the nature of prediction.

THE EX-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

Last week a delegation of eX-prison-
ers of war visited Washington, and APP
peared before the committees of both
Houses to advocate the passage of the
Lafean bill, officially known as H. r.
1925, and which reads as follows:
Whereas many officers, soldiers, sail
ors and marines of the Federal army
and navy were confined in so-called
Confederate prisons for great length
of time, suffering unusual and eXtraor-
'dinary hardships, and contracting dis
eases and disabilities that have rem
dered many of them mental and physi-
cal wrecks; therefore, for the purpose
of doing justice to a specially deserv-
ing class of surviving veterans of the
civil war
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled. That the Secretary of the Interior
be, and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to place on the pension roll
the names of each and all officers, SOL
diers, sailors and marines now surviV-
ing who remained loyal to the Govern
ment of the United States until the
close of the war of the rebellion and
while in the service of the United States

be paid to every officer, soldier, sailor
and marine so placed on the pension
roll the sum OF 81 for each and every

to and receiving a pension at the time
of the passage of this act shall be en-
titled TO and paid the additional allow
ance that this act may grant them, and

death in the Southern prisons.
