GLADSTONE FOR THE SOUTH.

On the occasion of the centenary of
Gladstone's birth, Ambassador Bryce
delivered commemorative address at
Carnegie hall, New York, and de-
clarsd that to Mr.. Gladstone belonged
the credit of laying the foundation of
Anglo American friendship, for he it
was who consented to arbitration in
the Alabama case, thereby removing
the cause of dispute between Great
Britain and the United States.
The author Of the American Com
monwealth'' paid a grand tribute to
Gladstone and referred to him as "a
great man, whose influence the world
still feels" an assertion to which we
make no objection, for Gladstone in
his later years accomplished lot of
good for the English democracy,
helped to check landlord rapacity in
Ireland. and tried to give that coun-
try kind Of Home Rule which was
accepted by Charles Stewart Parnell,
but rejected contemptuously by the
house of lords.
Without wishing to deprive Glad
stone of any credit due to him az a
British statesman, we are Of the opin-
lon that he was an Enslishman first
last and all the time, and that his
consent to arbitrate the Alabama
claims to avoid war with the Unit
ed States was the best thing for him
to have done for his country at the
time. 1t was either settle the Ala
bama claims or fight, and Mr.. Glad
stone thought it better to pay $685.

for he was a sympathizer with the

VIM. H. Seward, the great Secretary
Of State under Lincoln, declared in the

entitled to demand full compensation
from England for the damages inf1ict-

privateers. In 1871 a commission met
at Washington, and by treaty, con-

the claims be submitted to a tribunal

The Irish Egg Industry.

The export Of Irish eggs now reaches
an estimated value Of almost s3,Ooo,-
600, and the trade has been rapidly in
creasins. In fact Ireland holds the first
position in the open market of Grear
Britain for eggs. Furthermore as Ire.
land imports only very small and ap-
parently not increasing quantity of
eggs, Ireland is supplied almost ex-
clusively with the home article, and
the home consumption has, therefore,
to be added to the export of eggs in
estimating the annual value of the egg
Industry in the country. A modest es-
Innate would place the value Of eggs
annually produced in Ireland at about
four million pounds and if we add the
value of the birds killed for table use
the total value of the Irish egg and
poultry industries cannot be less than
9b,00O,000 per annum. The general
average for the 1875 focks entered for
egg laying competitions was 100 eggs
per hen per annum. Looking some-
what more closely into the returns, it
is seen that one flock of birds gave an
average result Of over 200 eggs per bird
Per year, five fiocks gave a result of
$50 eggs per year AMI ten focks gave
1e0 eggs or over. the breeds of hens
which gave notably good results were:
White Leghorns, brown Leghorns, buff
orpingtons and white Wyandottes.

With all respect to the Tribune con-
tributor we fail to see anything non
sensical or grotesque in the story of
Jonas as related in the Sacred Volume,
and why the veracity of the writer
should be questioned is more than we
can understand.
In the Fourth Book of Kings 1925,
Jonas is referred to as the servant of
God, "the son of Amathi, the Prophet,
who was of Geth, which is in Opher,'
and consequently of Galilee. prof.
Fiske," says the Tribune writer,
doubts if the book is, or even was, in
tended to be a solemn narration of
facts" Who cares what Prof. Fiske
thought Of it? He was a doubter in
divine revelation and belonged to the
modern school of freethinkers. He
was transcendalist who believed In
the evolutionary theory and scoffed al
the creation Of man as recorded in the
Bible. He preferred to have sprung
from a chimpanzee. OF course, the
story of Jonas being swallowed by q
whale or great fish" was too prepost-
erous for bright man like Prof. Fiske
to believe, notwithstanding the fact
that there is a species of whale capable
Of swallowing a man, body and breaches
The swallowing of Jonas, however, ap-
pears to have been miraculous, for the
fish was controlled by the Lord and
did as He commanded it. A pro-
nounced agnostic like Prof. Fiske did
not believe in miracles any more than

be used by the Tribune writer who
winds up his lucubration by saying;

ton Of the absolute reversal of the
laws Of nature"
Evidently, this contributor to the
Tribune does not believe that Joshua
made the sun stand still any more thar
that Jonas was swallowed by a grea,
nsh and remained three days in its
stomach before he was cast on the dry
land. He must be disciple of Prof

A MODERN VIEW OF JONAH.

A writer in the Minneapolis Sunday
Tribune thinks that the most devout
have had trouble in Swallowing the
Book of Jonah" and then he quotes
what the late Prof. F,iske thought of it.
AS Prof. Fiske was an agnostic who
adopted the spirit of the so-called
higher criticism" nobody would have
expected him to swallow the story of
Jonah without q grimaoe.
Jonah or Jonas was prophet who
prefgured in his own person the death
and resurrection Of Christ, and he was
the only one among the prophets that
was sent to preach to the Gentiles.
Jonas disobeyed the command of the
Lord and ned to Tharsis instead OF
going to Nineveh topreach. At his own
request he was cast into the sea and
the Lord prepared "a great hsh" to
swallow him up. The Lord spoke to
the fish and after three days at
vomited out Jonas upon the dry land
Again, he was commanded to 90 to
Nineveh. and he obeyed reluctantly.
In accordance with the divine COM
mand, Jonas went to that wicked city
and told the inhabitants it would be
destroyed in forty days. They re-
pented Of their sins in sackcloth and
ashes and turned from their evil way, -
and God had mercy upon them and
forSave them their offenses.
Then Jonas became angry because
they were not destroyed, and said it
was better for him to die than to live.
He left the city and waited in the SUBJ
urbs to see what would happen and
sought refuge from the heat under an
Ivy which the Lord had prepared, but
q worm "struck the ivy and 1t
withered.' Jonas again murmured
when the sun beat upon his head and

forests of these three states, the lum-
bermen left for Washington, Oregon
and California to repeat their opera
lions. Aided by a predatory tariff,
they are rapidly becoming plutocrats.
We have no word Of censure for them.
The government Of the country is SOLE
ly responsible.
Mr.. Walker favors government
commission of lumber, something like
that for Interstate commerce." for the
preservation of the forests. and thinks
that conservation of timber now in
private ownership is entirely possible,
but he would have lumber prices high
er than they are at present. OF course.
The prices of lumber are never high
enough for the benevolent and phil
anthropic Weyerhausers, Walkers,
Shevlins, ct hoe genus omne. We
blame them not, however Prices of
lumber are now higher than they have
ever been in the history of the coun-
try, but like Oliver Twist, Mr.. Walker
cries for more tariff to protect him
from Canadian competition! The
powers that have enabled Mr.. Walker
and other lumber barons to prey on
the public with IMMUNITY and gobble
up the lands that God Almighty Gre
ated for all his American children are
to blame for the present condition of
affairs. Mr.. Walkers contribution on
forestry is worthy of perusal, coming
as it does from a timber srabber of
colossal magnitude.

Thsrs Was No Marriage.

Quite a number of sensational re-
ports were printed in the secular press
during the last week Of the old year,
several Of them to the effect that Rt.
Rev. Bishop Davis Of Davenport had
granted divorce" to Katherine Carol
fano Marasco Of Des Moines, wife of
Raphael Marasco of that city.
These reports were not correct, but
were based upon a misapprehension of
the facts. The plaintiff in the case ap-
piled for relief from the supposed mar
riage with Marasco, on the ground that
she had been coerced into a marriage
ceremony by threats Of most serious
nature, declaring that through fear of
the carrying out Of these threats, she
did not disclose them before the result
ing forced ceremony Of wedlock.
1t is an established principle of law,
both civil and ecclesiastical, that where
there is no free will, there is no valid
contract, matrimonial or otherwise,
since freedom of the contracting
parties is an essential element OF a
true contract.
There IL no real divorce, then, where
there is no real marriage. AS the case
in question came up in the Des Moines
dsanery. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Flavin had
first charge Of it. He transmitted the
statements Of the plaintiff to Rt. Rev.
Bishop Davis. who gave decision IA
vorable to the plaintiff in due form.
His action Of course is purely ecclesi-
astical. For civil redress, Miss Carol
fano must apply to the civil courts.

Bryce calls laying the foundation of

Gladstone was undoubtedly opposed
to the North during the Civil War and
thought the South would be triumph
ant. Henry Clews of Wall Street,
however, believes that Gladstone was
not hostile to the Union, but his let
tiers and speeches prove strongly that
he was. Anyone who reads John Nor
ley's Life of Gladstone will not be a
particle in doubt of the fact. Russell
and Palmerston were members of the
same cabinet and the three of them
favored coalition of England, France
and Russia to put an end to the war

Union. Russia declined" says Mr..
Morley. In juno, $685. in the House
of Commons, Mr.. Gladstone said that
the public opinion of England "wa.
unanimous that the restoration of the
American Union by force was unat-
tainable."
In later years Mr.. Gladstone ac-
knowledged that he had made q mis-
take in espousing the cause of the
South. In 1895 at New Castle he made
recantation, saying he had made

Henry Clews and other Anglomanl-
scs cannot successfully bamboozle the
American people about Gladstone's
friendship for the Union, nor can Am
bassador Bryce claim with truth that
Americans are indebted to him for
laying the foundation of friendship
which is alleged to exist between the
United States and Great Britain.
