 Charles Stewart Parnell. No mar has a right to fix a boundary to the march of a nation. No man has right to say to his country Thus far thou shalt go and no farther. We have never attempted to fix ne plus ultra to the progress of lreland's nationhood, and we never shall
 Charles Stewart Parnell, the man whose memory is now to be honored with a memorial in keeping with the distinguished services which he rem cred his country, ranks with Daniel O'Connell as an agitator and leader, and was even superior to OConnell as an organizer His influence in the politics 0f his own country was so great that from the time he sue ceeded to the leadership of the Home Rule party in 1880, until November, 1890, when he was deposed, he was virtually the dictator of the govern ing influences of English politics.
 In the spring Of 1875 Parnell took his first seat in parliament for Meath, having previously been defeated in County Dublin. Less than two years later he began his celebrated policy of obstruction. Isaac Butt, who was the recognized Irish leader at that time, could not see the sense of op- posing measures in which the Irish were not directly concerned, but ParneIl held to this course and Butt was forced from the leadership. In 1878 Parnell was the acknowledged leader of the Irish party.
 Because of the failure of the potato crop, 1879 was the worst year Ire land had known since 1S4S, and Par nell became the president of the Irish Land league in 1879, with it's famous watchword, Keep . firm grip on your homesteads."
 The next year Gladstone succeeded Beaconsfeid as prime minister, and Parnell and other Irishmen were inn prisoned under the coercion act in 1SS1-S2. Parnell wax able to force the issues which resulted in an all lance with Gladstone.
 in 1887 EqCz shrdlu cmfwy vbgkq London Times, "Parnellism and Crime and a facsimile letter of Parnell was produced, in which he excused the murder of Burke, but re- gretted the killing of Cavendish. The confession of Pigott in the investiga- ton. and his suicide later in Madrid, resulted in a victory for Parnell, who remained the idol of the Irish people until, in 1890, his connection with the O'Shea divorce case, threw a shadow over his fame and caused him to resign the leadership of his party.

Achievement by B. L. T. of Chicago
 Tribune.

If linotype operators had the power to confer marks of distinction on men who write copy" B. L. T., of the Chicago Tribune" would be among the first to receive attention. He has written a hymn or four sevenLline stanzas in which not a single "e' is used. And this is the letter that gets on the nerves" of the operators. There never is enough of them, caus- ing constant watching in order to prevent thin-s spacing or run over in the proof. In an introductory note B. L. IF says: Although e is the most frequently used letter in the alphabet, Professor Hints has achieved 2s lines without employing it. swattish poetry. he advises us, quaintly, is not translated with ease. !" Following is the hymn, which he calls the national anthem of Swat: My country, 'tis to you l pray, with much ado,
 1ark to my cry!
 Land of our pilgrim dads, Land of almighty seads,
 Drop all and sundry fads
 And swat that fly!
 You of that sturdy stock Which on old Plymouth Rock
 Stood high and dry,
 Banish our wild alarm
 At that which works us harm; Uplift a mighty arm
 And swat that fyi
 And you, bold immigrants, Put on your working pants,
 Without a sigh,
 Slash for your countTy's good, Smash as a workman should, Mash as a patriot would
 And swat that fly,
 All grab a club and stand Pat for our happy land,
 Not man shy.
 Don't wait till it is fall;
 NOW, if your cOuntry's call! All in a chorus bawi,
 70, SWAT that fly,"

"1ET BECOMES BE BY-GONES."

We have observed that one class of candidates and the radical Arizona newspapers, are urging voters to let by-gones be by-gones. Of course, they do not put it that way but this: They say; Tt makes no difference what a candidate has been in the past; with what integrity and ability he has served you and thereby given promise of his future usefulness. These things do not count now. Unless he has been closely identified with the construc- ton of the constitution and has proved himself to be friendly to the sO- called radical features of 1t, he is not entitled to your consideration"
 Conversely, we may imagine the speaker continuing: Tt makes no difference how untried a candidate may be; how worthless his past has been; how widely known his unfit ness for office was under the old re- zine All this must be forgotten. The slate must be wiped clean. If he has voted for the radical things in the constitution; if at that time he spoke for them or wrote for them, he deserves well of you"
 So, we have the spectacle Of men aspiring to high office for which they have neither natural nor acquired fitness. Their claims are based wholly on their real or pretended friendliness toward direct legislation and their | professed solicitude for the people for whom demagogues in every age have professed solicitude.

 While, no doubt. Tripoli will thrive under an Italian protectorate rather than under unrestrained Turkish rule, it will lose much of its picturesque ness.

 number of soldiers that had just been paid off and the robbers made an even bigger haul than from the first holdup. This was again the opportun- ity for a show of diplomacy on the part of the astute Solomon. He again approached the highwaymen, again congratulated them on their clean workmanship and the gentle manly way that they had carried off the second affair. He once more congratulated them upon the big haul and then became confidential and told them they had left him strapped" that he had neither money to get home with, none to pay for food on the way and told them who he was. By this time the rob bers were thoroughly good natured and they handed over $50 to Solo mon, not remembering how much they had taken and he was none the worse off, if not a few dollars better off for his experience.
 In the second stage there was a passenger whose name will at once be remembered by old residents of Cochise county when it Is mentioned, Marshal Nagel of Tombstone. Now, Nagel had a watch of which he was very proud. It was a valuable time piece in itself, but more than this, it had been presented to him by the peo- pie of Tombstone in recognition of his bravery and acts done in the per formance of his duty Nagel was wrathy enough at the idea of his be- ing held up, he an officer and terror to offenders. but was even more wroth over the loss of the watch, and he also started to barter with them He did not ask the robbers to give him the watch, but he offered to buy it from them. He asked them to name a place where he might deposit a certain sum of money and where they, having received the money so placed for them would leave his watch. This request was granted and ultimately he recovered the time piece which he valued so highly.
