Efforts of States or provinces to regain IN
denenaence or of nations to hold conquered
territory have been many, but history fails to
record an important war between the cehtrai
government and a portion of the empire or
republic brought about through the EFFORTS oil
the government to force a province or terri
tory to withdraw. This latter cause FOR war
threatens the British Empire .at this time the
people of Ulster being prepared to resist the
onera,ion OF the home-rule bill should ii pass
the House of Lords. Not local self-goyernment
but government by the Parliament OF the
empire is what the majority of the people OF
Ulster wish, and hrebrands have been preach
ing civil war if Parliament attempts to give
10 ireland the right to home rule.
las, Iuly Mr.. Ronar Law, Unionist leader,
declared that until Ulster was voted out of
the Union he would stand by Ulster in any
thing that it might do to remain in the Union.
This was said when threats of armed resist
ance TO home rule were being made openly
ard without reservation by thousands OF the
people of Ulster and when riots were frequent
and serious. Lord Landsdowne agrees with
him Since that time the determination of
the people to remain in the Union, even if
recourse TO arms became necessary. has grown
stronger and stronger. Saturday the Unionists
OF Northern ireland will express their senti-
mems by signing a covenant pledging them
selves never to submit to any government from
Dublin which may be Imposed upon Ireland
BY the home-rule bill. Sir Edward Carson
- r.. - c.os,b poouahara IF % r1iauant will
1T is said. be the first to sign this practical
declaration of intention to resist the British
government with an armed force.
The opposition to the home-rule bill is
small elsewhere than in Ulster The English
apparently are willing to give to ireland that
fer which she has so long commended. though
in a modified form. and all of Ireland except
several OF the northern counties is practically
unanimous for the adoption of the bill. The
opposition in Ulster according to Sir Edward
Carson, is not due only TO politics. The ques-
tion goes der per than this To the people Of
Ulster 1t is . question of progress and pros
perity The north of ireland has outstripped
the rest OF the country since The union and
{ the. a DiQnists. contend. that material interests
ard the prosperity OF that part of ireland are
q stake. Bank deposits have increased; it's
population has grown marveiously; taxation is
ewer than in the rest Of ireland, and in every
way Belfast has outstripped Dublin in prog
rsss. and Northern ireland shows signs OF
greater prosperity than the other sections Of

nation declaring that he would free the slaves,
and even then it was only a conditional prom
ise., His proclamation was as much a promise
to the Southern States as to the slaves. "If
you lay down your arms" President Lincoln
said, In effect. you can keep your slaves; If
you do not, they shall be freed"
To Lincoln should be accorded credit for his
vast sympathy for the people. There is no
doubt of the fact that he would have liked to
see the slave free. so would many southerners
have liked to see slavery wiped out, but neither
Mr.. Lincoln nor Southerners of anti-slavery
sentiments believed that it should be accom-
plished by war or by law forbidding slavery
and setting those in bondage free.

CURRENT COMMENT


II 1t be true that a trap was set for Cover
nor Wilson whereby he was to be identified
and marked for exhibition as hobnobbing with
Boss Murphy at Syracure, 1t must be admitted
that the governor sidestepted the trap with
celebrity and grace.
1t was even said that the conspiracy EN-
hraced a plan to have DIR, Wilson photographed
side by side with Mr., Murphy. but this deep
laid plan likewise miscarried through the in
teIligent vigilance of the Democratic candf-

RUN GOVERNMENT
S823,415,455.14 Is Estimated
Cost Submitted by Depart
ment Heads.
BIG INCREASE IN PENSIONS
War Department Plans Three New

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-It will cost $S23,415,
1914 to construct the affairs of the
government for the fiscal year ending
June so, 1914, according to the esti-
mates of the various department
heads, submitted to the speaker of the
house by the secretary of the treasury.
This amount, not including provision
for the postal service, which is ex-
pected to be self-supporting, is an in
crease of $72,078,24S over the appro-
priations made for the present year
by the last session of congress.
OF this increase $2S,312,220 appears
In estimates of the secretary of the
navy. and s20.597,297 represents the
increase asked by the navy depart
ment in the appropriations for build
ing and equipping new vessels. The
estimates would provide for three new
battleships to be laid down during the
year. This would make up for the
lapse of one ship from the two-battle-
ships year program, caused by the
action of the Democratic house in pro-
viding for but single ship at the
last session.
Another s20,000,000 or more of the
total increase is shown in the esti-
mates for the payment of pensions.
The amount asked for this year is
1885, .220, 600. An increase of about the
same amount as appears in the es-
Inmates for public work for the year.
The construction of public buildings
planned for the year also shows an
increase of 81 ,012, $50 over the appro-
priations for the present year: S,722,.
220 being asked for that purpose. The
work to be done during the year on
the Panama canal will cost $30,174,-
432. which is $1.110,567 less than the
appropriations for the current year.
Of this sum $6,769,522 is asked TO build
Notifications and military barracks in
the canal zone. This year 81 90 ooo

partment for the year. This amount
will be supplied out of the postal rev.
enues and will bring the total esti-
mated appropriations for the year up
to s1.105, zoe, 1868.
Among the estimates which will de-

CONFESSES TO MURDERS
Victims of John r. Hickey Were Most
ly Boys Whom He Assaulted

Western Newspaper Union News Ear,,ice
Buffalo, \. Y.-The killing of a man
in Lowell, Mass, 70 wears ago was
given oy JONI f. Hickey, the so-called
: i'os' .,rd" murderer, in a signed con
fession. as the starting point of a
career of debauchery and crime dur
ing which he murdered two boys and
assaulted many others.
Hickey's two victims, according to
his confession, were Edward Morey.
of Lowell, Mass. poisoned with Iauda-
mum more than 20 years ago; Michael
kruck, II years old, New York news
boy, strangled in Central Park in 1902,
and Joseph Josephs. the 7-year-old
son of j. Josephs, a merchant of
Lackawanna, killed in similar man
ner October Il, 1911.
The details of Hickey's two last
crimes are too revolving to make pub
lie" said District Attorney Dudley.
Hickey is apparently a man with a
dual personality. He is intelligent He
is now overcome with remorse and
says again and again that he cant
comprehend what possessed him TO
commit the crimes. He assersts that
he became a maniac only when flied
with whiskey.
Hickey's full confession came after
a series of admissions made to Dis
trict Attorney Dudley and Police Chief
ellison of Lackawanna when the two
officials left New York for Buffalo
with their prisoner. Hickey agreed
to sign a confession and was taken
to the district attorneys office through
the tunnel connecting the county Jail
