A Confident Intimation of Home Rule.

Bonar Law may rage and Edward Carson imagine
n vain thing. but Home Rule for Ireland now seems
to be assured. That is not because John Redmond
says and Messrs Asquth and Lloyd George say
ditto more confident authority than they has
spoken, in tones that the world, and particularly
the Yankee part of ii, can understand
For the trustees of the Irish Home Rule Fund
will make appeal to America this year. That is
not because of consideration for our income tax
burden, nor because of the size Of the balance on
hand. For all the trustees care America may be
rolling in wealth. and for all we know their treas
ury may be empty No, but 1t Is because Home
Rule is certain to be enacted in the near future,
and therefore no more sinews Of war will be
needed.
We should hesitate to estimate how many mill
ions this country has contributed to that fund;
generally ungrldgngly. sometimes enthusiastically.
We have doubt that it would keep on giving. il
it necessary. That the trustees deem il no
longer necessary is the most practical intimaon OF
the imminence of Home Rule that we have seen
THAT they ready to accept Home Rule at cost Of
the stoppage of that golden flow is an impregnable
demonstration Of the good faith Of their cause.

Federal Discharge of Federal Duties.

GINGERBREAD AND CRAPEJUICE
OF Such Is Said To Be the Bryan Brand
of Statesma ship.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: About a month ago there appeared
in The Tribune a letter signed e. d.
Brinkerhof" that dwelt with considerable
emphasis on the strange incapacity as
publcists and statesmen which marks
public men nowadays in this country. The
main point made was that no one in the
legislatures or in the congresses stands
forth as master mind, especially In
fiscal affairs. but all alike fail-utterly,
lamentably fail-to know what is con-
structively the best thing TO DO.
In to-day's Tribune there arc news
items which not only corroboraie this,
but which appear TO go il better. One is
from Washington. saying IL is probable
New York will not get reserve bank
and giving as apparently a factor Of in
fuence in this weird proposal an opinion
expressed by the late j. u. Morgan. quite
as il that extraordinarily arbitrary tinan-
cier was, in his time, the most reliable
authority imaginable and beyond al
others honest.
Also from Washington il is stated that
the Secretary of State has not replied 10
a diplomatic note from the japanese gov
eminent dated more than I'VE months ago
and as If TO make the japanese moot
question defantly dangerous the Presi-
dent has not been Informed by his Secre-
tary OF State about treaty suggestions
made to Japan.
The sublime idiocy of. II possible, break
ing up New York's huge banking interests

ferrous but ii is consummate practicable

ONE PORTRAIT OF VILLA
An Observer Writes of the Rebel as He
Sees Him.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Puzzle over 1t as l do. | cannot
make out why It is that newspaper
editors and individuals who have pro-
fessed Mortified disapproval of General
Huerta should accept as a matter OF fact
the villanes Of Villa and root for his
success. It's beyond my comprehension
entirely | have received letter from
friend OF mine who lives in Ell Paso. In
Juarez he has seen villa and this is how
he described him:
Imagine cross between a halfbreed
bad man and a RATHER and you've got
this fellow Villa The snake In him has
given him a diaboical cunning. He's out
for loot and nothing else. He has made
a lot of money by selling thousands or
head of cattle which he has stolen from
the big ranches of Chihuahua and shipped
across the border He gets his followers
by closing down the mines and forcing
men out of work Then there is nothing
left for them to do but join him for all
there is i'm IT, He's killed and ordered
killed hundreds Of men, robbed and de-
stroyed everything he can lay his hands
on There isn't woman safe wherever
he goes He's deified devil and don't
let anybody tell you anything else"
This is a pretty harsh picture Of any
man. but have great faith in my
friends Judgment, and Villas record Of
crime Is common knowledge, anyhow.

THE CALL OF THE CITY
How Feeding the Shiftless Depopulates
the Farms.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your news columns this morning
contain several items OF extreme interest
to the farmers I'm the vicinity OF New
York. You give accounts Of hundreds OF
men being fed and housed by charitably
disposed persons and associations that
cater TO the wants of the unemployed.
Does it ever occur TO some OF these well
intentioned people that the doles they
hand out are the bait that is continually
Turing help away from the farming sec
tions I'm a radius of one hundred miles OF
New York City? I am positive that no
single factor of New York life Is as
much to blame for the inability OF farm
ers to obtain and hold steady help as Is
this indiscrlmnate feeding and housing
the shiftless and indolent gangs that in
fest New York In the winter months.
Mayor Mitchell has struck the right
note when ne advocates a requirement OF
some service in return for help advanced,
and II that condition could be made gem
eral [ am. perfectly satisfied that ten
thousand men would find steady employ
ment winter and summer In the area
mentioned, because If the bait did not
exist in the city and they had TO work in
either case they would stay where a
great many belong-in the country.
Now a word in explanation of that as
sertion: Under present conditions 70 per
cent of the farms In that radius (oper-
ated for profD are not run at anything
approaching their maximum capacity for
the simple reason that the farmer has 10
base his calculations as to animals he
keeps and the crops he plants In a large
measure on the minimum supply OF help
in other words a farmer who now
mlks. say, fifteen cows would be willing
and able to handle forty but for the fact
that emergency help. |. e., members Of his
family or immediate neighbors who will
come in for few mornings, is limited,
and he cannot take a chance OF being left
periodically without help to milk and
care for a barn full OF animals. That also
applies In a great measure to the planning
OF crops grown.
How much this affects the supply OF
and high cost OF selling foodstuffs I will
leave TO others to determine.
In conclusion | am satisfied that were

"SPILLING THE BEANS"

Sir In view OF recent events was 1t
Murphy. O'Gorman. little Delaney or the
gloomy Sulzer that really spilled the
beans" for Tammany?
A careful study OF the Official canvass
OF the vote in Manhattan shows that at
least 45 per cent OF the enrolled Demo-
cratic vote was cast for anti-Tammany
candidates

SALOONS ALL. GONE
OUT OF EXISTENCE
Transition of the State from the
"Wet" to the "Dry" COL
unn is Orderly.

WHEELING, July 1.-West Virginia
entered the column OF prohibition
states last midnight and today its
residents are trying to adjust them
selves to the new conditions imposed
by the Yost act. one of the most dras-
tic prohibitory measures ever enacted
In the United States. "For rent"
signs in the windows OF nearly 600
buildings throughout the state where
yesterday intoxicating liquors were
sold IN abundance, give mute evidence
Of the change wrought by the new
law. Not liquor sign can be seen
in the cities. All the marks incident
to licensed liquor dealers have dis
appeared as II by magic.
Voted out OF business by majority
Of nearly 100000, the saloonists took
the inevitable good naturally. Many
sold their businesses and left the
state. Others have turned to other
lines Of trade. OF the 1900 retail
and wholesale liquor establishments
in the state on June many had closed
their doors before the week began.
Only few kept open until the last
minute.
The transition was orderly. There
was no. celebration although many
curious ones thronged the streets OF
the city. Five deaths due wholly or
in part to intoxicants were reported
yesterday from the southern part OF
the state.
Nearly one million dollars in reve-
nues are taken from the state, coun:
tiee, cities and towns. To meet this
deficit each district has evolved other
forms of taxation.
