Mr.. Wilson in Washington.

Mr.. Wilson has arrived, and will make
Washington his home for at least four
years. He should like the town. All of
his predecessors in the presidency have
done SO. Some Of them became greatly
attached to it, and left sweet memories
behind. Mr.. Taft is marking his departure
with many expressions OF appreciation
OF his stay, and with many assurances
that his good Will is abundantly recpro-
Gated.
Life In the White House has its trials

and deserts.
But this is understood by those who
seek the place. The man who reaches II
has work to do, and must do 1t according
TO the conditions imposed. He is d public
servant-the principal one-and must
meet the public on the public's terms
He must hear requests with patience,

Two more scenes remained, how

longer counted abroad, even in Re-

could then overcome. Even the brave

one with Henry Grattan. It took the
pen of John Kells Ingram, then a
junior fellow of Trinity College, to
gloriously vindicate in one imperish-
able lyric the name of '98.
Other pens revivified more ancient,
though not more gallant times. The

For time these two planets with
their attendant satellites managed to
move in congenial orbits. O'Connell
could by no means ignore the Ma
ton; and the Nation could not af-
ford to break with O'Connell. The
latter had been always fortunate in
powerful, If indirect, auxiliaries. The
debt of Catholic emancipation to the
melodies of Moore and the novels of
Lady Morgan was no mediocre one.
The cause Of repeal was to be en-
nobled by the pledge of Father Mat
thew and the literature of the Ma
tion. It is now impossible to give

The most telling of it's contributions
were in the poetic vein. 1t was
poetry for patriotism's sake. 1t was
meant to chide, to cherish, or to
cheer. For example, to the orthodox
repeater the principles of the United
1rishmen were repugnant; to his
leader they were repulsive. AS a
school boy in France at st. Omer,
O'Connell had witnessed the excesses
of the French revolution. AS a young
barrister he had stood under arms
one memorable night in Smithfield
Market awaiting the expected rush OF
the Kildare pixies at dawn. He ap.
pears in any case to have been as
great hater of separation as he was

them on. The Young Ireland party
had drawn Its leaders from the mid
die and professional class; but here
was a man of true patrician blood,
a descendant of Irish kings, driven in
his maturer years to the conclusion
that little or nothing was to be ex.
pected from either purely English
government or mere Irish agitation;
and in the subsequent pursuance of
this conclusion, so steadfast, so in
corruptible, so disinterested that the
side which he espoused, If 1t did not
ultimately command success, at least
deserved it.

1885. An alliance was entered into
between O'Connell and the Wings on
the understanding that the agitation
for repeal was to be dropped or left
In allegiance while the imperial par
lament endeavored to find remedy
for the social maladies of Ireland.
And surely If there ever was an En-.
glishman who sympathized with the
wrongs Of the country to which he
was assigned as under-secretary, it
was Thomas Drummond,-"them man
who first taught Irishmen to respect
the government by showing that the
government could be just to them"
But he died in 1910, and his party
was replaced the year after by the
Tory government of Sir Robert Peel,
O'Connell's lifelong antagonist.
The banner or repeal was lifted
therefore second time, and Ireland
entered upon it's mightiest and most
impotent agitation. Some of the old
friends who had stood by O'Connel'
side on the Glare hustings were cap
tivated by "silk" or bribed by sine
cure; some of the old faces had dis
appeared, but the great Tribune him
self was still hale and magnetic
enough to hold in thrall not only the
serfs of 1928, but the scholars of 1912.
In the autumn of that year the Nation
newspaper was founded, and it's edit
orial room was the cradle Of Young
Ireland.
The element introduced into the
ranks of the Irish national party was
decidedly new. It was educated,
broad-minded, sanguine, sincere. 1t
reverenced O'Connell, but refused to
worship him. O'Connell was, in the
words of Balzac, "The incarnation of
an entire people," This was tanta-
mount to saying that he possessed all
the virtues and all the defects of the
Irish Celt. He loved Ireland passion
ately and honestly; he loved its o'd
religion even more. For the rest, his
humor was inimitable, his brain SUI
perbly fertile, his presence command
ing, his voice mellow and magnificent.
But he was now gray, autocratic and
suspicious. The spirit of Czardom

a generation to admit Catholics to the

agrarian and social grievances still
unredressed that the cry of repeal Of
the root-evil soon sprang from the
lips of the "Liberator" himself. In

Gets CSC Pounds Of Potatoes
From One.

"a lad in the outskirts of Albany,
N. Y, and only twelve years OF age,
has made q world record" says
Farm and Fireside.
''The State Fair Board offered a
prize for the largest yield from one
seed potato. Each contestant receiv
one potato of special and unusual
variety in his part of the State"
Eugene Durand raised and exhib-
tied 1856 pounds of potatoes, twelve
bushels, of contest quality size, and
left at home, unweiehed, about two
bushels of non-exhibitable size. So
far as known, this is fully twice the
yield ever before known from one
potato"
'The potato had fourteen eyes.
Each of these was planted in a hot
bed. When the sprout was about
three inches high, he cut it off and
,, placed it in sand, where it took root
Durand then set it out in soil adapted
to potatoes. The sprouts kept or
growing, and he kept on roofing then
and then transplanting them, and
great was the harvest thereof"
