members Of the United Kingdom. Thus.
while England and Wales have revenue
more than twice Is great is their local

paid by English and Scotch taxpayers.
This unsa tisfactory state Of affairs is
due 10 several causes. Among these are
the comparative poverty Of Ireland ana
the consequent SnallneSs Of her revenues
and the greatness Of her needs; and also
the eXpenSiyeneSS of some features Of
her administration. Old age pensions
afford an example in point. Last year

though it is conceivable that under Home
Rule an effort would be made greatly to
decrease them. The courts Of Ireland
cost about twice as much as those OF
Scotland. despite the latter countTy'S

It Is reckoned that if Gladstonian
Home Rule were now in force Ireland
would be confronted yearly with q de

necessity Of increasing her taxation by

That. indeed. is n consunmation which
many Irishmen have long desired. But
We prefer 10 leave TO imagination the

Mr. Gladstone would have regarded a
proposal 10 establish in Ireland a pro-
tective tariff against Great Britain.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Of late pigeon literature has been
abundant and of much satisfactory and
desired information. Early in the year il
was noted that the Chronological Union,
in order TO save the pigeon, had offered i
prize OF q heretofore unhesrd of amount
for the discovery OF one nesting pair. This
offer suggested to the writer article
which appeared in The Tribune June T. in
which was predicted the impossbility OF
the preservation of the bird in the East
in its countless numbers in the earlier
half OF the last century.
The article also discussed the matter cf
their leaving the East In the 40's and the
causes thereof. which were largely their
persecution and destruction and the dis
appearance of the old oak woods the
acolns Of which. with wheat, were the
sta pies of their food OF their deliberate te
transit south in September. 1t should be
noted. further. that the culture Of wheat in
the East was practically abandoned at
a bovc mentioned date. CWheat as factor,
however. was not mentioned in this arti-
cle)
And theE shortly appeared an article IN
The Tribune OF June 5. by J. a Watson
Of Chicago. full of gratifying and valuable
information concerning the wild pigeon;
and here are the writer's Acknowledgements
for the same, seconded. Doubt ess, ny thou
sands interested in this bird. who exult
with the writer in the fact OF their exist
ence still. in the far off land, and, 1t is
hoped. free from the merciIess slaughter
that attended them in the East in the
earlier half OF the last century. 1t is with 4
feeling of satisfaction that We learn from
Mr.. Watson's article that they are safe in
Argentina, South America, and in numbers
as they were with us, in the long go
that they have abandoned their migratory
habits. and, like the lotus eaters. they
VIII return no more, they will no longer
roam.
Mr.. Watson thinks / am wrong in stating
the pigeon left the East in the early 4o's
BY the East was meant the Eastern States
and Eastern New York. not the wilds OF
Pennsylvania nor the adjacent wiIds of
New York. That my statement was cor
rect may be verified by the sons of every
old ''piseoner" now Old mem OF that
period in the Hudson River Valley and in

OF the white oak acorn had anything to do
with their leaving. as stated in my article

The fact in their emigration south in Sep

abandonment of wheat as a crop in the
East may have been a factor In their leav-
ing. That they are now safe in South
America. in Argentina, as stated. and

attended them in the North. and that the
wheat fields of that bountiful land assure
them more generous support, is a salts
