AS an illustration Of his observation
that although very careful man the
Marquis of Clanricarde spent money
freely upon litigation, while his con-
tempt for lawyers was never concealed,
the Irish correspondent of the Law
Times" tells an authentic story"
Lord Clanricarde's counsel in one of
his most important cases, now an emf
nent judicial functionary, who had
taken enormous pains with his cause,
complained to the solicitor that his
client had not observed that he was
grateful for the service. The agent
ventured to convey the soft impeach-
ment to the Marquis, but the latter
very sternly replied: Lord Clanri-
'carde's hirelings must not expect graft
tude from him as we'll as big fees"

Much dissatisfaction has been eX-
pressed concerning Cardinal Logue's
Lenten pastoral. The "Claidheamh So
luis" in an article for which it refused
to apologize, said Of the Primate's eX-
pressions of sympathy with Belgium
and Poland: THE Cardinal has more
to say about countries oversee than
about our own country. You would
think that he never heard the saying Of
Solomon that charity should begin at
home"

WEXFORD.

Mr.. T. L. Esmonds, president of the
Wexford Meat Supply Company, pre-
sided at the annual general meeting
OF the Enniscorthy Agricultural Coop
erative Society, Ltd, and pointed out
that the turnover for the year showed
an increase of G1S,421. The net profit
for the year was e1,312 15s. 3d., and
the increased profit was due largely to
increased custom. They had decided
to pay a per cent. dividend on paid up
share capital, 2k per cent on men,
bers' purchases, and a like dividend on
employees wages. Their excess profits
were put down at $500.

the road to invasion from the South
not to speak of the terrible threat
that Napier uttered, that with two
regiments of infantry and field bat
terry he'd raise the slave population in
the United States"
Have Englishmen in less than two
generations substituted love for the
hate that Napier, Wellington, and the
queens ministers expressed for the
United States? Is it love today of
America or fear of some one else that
impels to the arbitration treaties"
and the celebration of the hundred
years of peace.
The Anglo-American peace move
ment" was to be but the first stage
of an "Anglo-Saxon alliance" intend
ed to limit and restrict all further
world changes, outside of certain pre-
scribed continental limits, to these two
peoples alone on the basis of new
holy alliance"
Since England and America, either
in fact or by reservation, enjoy al
most all the desirable regions of the
earth, why not bring about a univer-
sal agreement to keep every one in
his right place, to stay lust as we
are" and to refer kindly all possible
differences to an international tri-
bunaP?
Europe reproduces herself yearly at
the present time at the rate of about
100000 souls. Some three-ifths of
this number are absorbed into the life
of the continent, the balance go abroad
and principally to North America.
Germany controls about one-fifth of
Europe's natural annual increase, and,
realizing that emigration today means
only to lose her people, she has for
years striven to keep her people with
in German limits, and hitherto with
successful results far in excess of any
achieved by other European states.
But the limit must be reached, and
that ere many years are passed. Where
Is Germany to find the suitable re-
gion, both on scale and under condi-
tons of climate, health and soil that
a people of say 90,O00,0OO, hemmed in
a territory little larger than France,
will find commensurate to their needs
: No other European people is in such
a plight.
The world OF European life needs
today, as it needed in the days Of a
decadent Roman world empire, the
coming of another Goth, the coming
of the Teuton. The interposing island
in the North Sea alone intervenes.
How to surmount that obstacle, how
to win the freedom of the Seven
Seas" for Europe, must be the supreme
issue for Germany.
If she fails she is doomed to steril-
ity.
Will Germany produce the states
man-soldier who shall see that the
key to ocean freedom lies in that is
land beyond an island, whose very ex-
istence Europe has forgotten?
Till that key is cut from the pi-
rates girdle, Germany may win hum
dred Austerlitzes on the Vistula, the
Dneister, the Poire but until she re-
stores that key to Europe, to para
phrase Pitt, she may roll up the map
of the world-it will not be wanted
these fifty years."

AT Clonmel Quarter Sessions, Judge
Moore, k.C., said it was monstrous to
be bringing jurors from all over the
district to try such trivial cases as were
sent up to them. He hoped that in
future trivial cases would be dealt
with by the magistrates when it was
possible to do so.

full days rallied around heroic Thoma-

1t was not southern valor or north
ern valor. It was, thank God, Ameri-
can valor; that valor which caused
our Revolutionary fathers to throw
their gage of battle into the face of
the son of a hundred kings; that val
or which animated Washington at
Princeton, Brandywine, Monmouth
and Yorktown; that valor which up.
held his famished men and the I'M
speakable horrors of Valley Forge;
that valor which sustained the soldiers
who followed Arnold on that cruel
winters march through the woods of
Canada and the Christmas storming
of Quebec, where Montgomery fell i'm
mortal; that valor which nerved An
drew Jackson and his raw militia on
the ever glorious 9Th of January when
they humbled to the very dust the
towering pride of that mighty mon
archy upon whose dominions the sun
never sets and utterly routed the vet
Grams of the peninsula who had
snatched from Napoleon's brow the
iron crown of Charlemagne; that val
or which at Buena Vista, Churubusco

its renown; that valor which wrote
Davy Crockett's name above Leonidas'

bidding the nations of the earth to
touch the ark Of American liberty lest
they die.-Speaker Champ Clark.

WHAT MEMORIAL DAY MEANS.

It is the solemn contemplation of
what the civil war and its consequent
ces really meant in the history of our
country that makes Memorial Days
celebration most valuable. It is reli-
gious regard for the pillars of popular
government, for the principle of liber-
ty regulated by law, for the preserva-
ton of popular representative institu-
lions, which this days ceremonies
should consecrate and strengthen. On
this day it is the high duty of all the
people to revitalize their love of their
country and renew their devotion to
the limitations of its constitution
which have made it permanent and
useful to the people and to,reject with
stern and hintlike front all light sug.
cestions Of change in those principles
which it has cost centuries Of strug-
gle and hecatombs of lives to secure
and maintain.-William H. TAFT.
