Birellism in Ireland

There seems still TO be some mystery
about the sudden seizure and detention OF
sundrv members of the Gaelic League and
Sim Fem fraternity in various parts Of
Ireland. According to a correspondent OF
one of the London papers, Dublin is per-
fectly calm, nor is there the least
probability that the cmbers of sedltlon
can again be famed into flame. Ac-
cording TO the same authority, the pres
ent fash in the pan was due mainly 10
the astonishing result of the recent Kos
common election, which made a hero out
of Count Plunkett," but he adds reassur-
ingly that Count Plunlctt IS an aged
cultured gentleman, who has never been
an active Sim Feiner."
This is all well enough as far as it
goes, but no one with even an mixing OF
recent events in Ireland can take 1T very
seriously. 1t is true that no one outside
of Ireland can have q clear notion OF what
is happening there, for the censor takes
great pains not only to keep foreign coun-
tries in the dark, but even to edit news
paper correspondence and to cut down pri-
vate letters between Ireland and Eng
land. Since he has suffered a reference to
"the present flash in the pan" it is allow
able to conclude that there has been, II
not an abortive rising, at least threat
dangerous enough to justify drastic ac-
ton under the defence of the realm act.
There is nothing surprising in this. 1t
would rather be surprising if Ireland were
wholly free from unrest, in view of the
vacillating manner in which it has been
governed of late. The indiscriminate ar
rests and deportations after the lnsurrec-
ton of Easter week created feeling OF
violent resentment in many parts of the
country. but it was madness to imagine
that this feeling could be allayed by a
sudden and equally indiscriminate eXer-
else of clemency. The prisoners assumed,
and perhaps justly, that the government
feared to hold them longer, and they went
forth defantly, refusing to enter into any
engagement whatever with regard to the
future.
If it be true that the government en-
deavored to exact a pledge of loyalty and,
failing even to secure a promise OF neu-
tralitv. released the rebels hastily for fear
of worse mischief, it can hardly be main
tanned that Mr.. Birrel himself ever acted
with more weakness and pusillanimity
during his tenure of Office. Be that as it
may. it is certain that the rebels were
received at the North Wall with brass
hands and addresses of welcome and that
at present Birrellism is the ruling spirit
in the government of Ireland as surely as
it was under the former administration.

Help Much. =
COLD ALL OVER THE WEST

With no relief in sight from the
cold wave for the next thirty-s hours,
the weather man predicted that it
would be as cold if not colder the
next twenty-four hours than it was
Thursday when the official ther-
mometer registered a minimum tenn
perature OF 2. degrees below zero.
The cold wave came within a de-
gree OF breaking the weather records
for the last two years. On January
IS, last year, the mercury went down
to p below zero.
Omaha was one of the coldest spots
i'll the state this morning. At North
Platte it was Is degrees below zero,
while at Valentine it was 26. The
cold is much more severe in the east
tern part Of the state than in the west
ern.
The thermometer reached its mini
mum point at 6 o'clock in the morning
when Il degrees below zero was re-
corded. In the four hours up to 10
O'Clock the mercury had gone up but
2 degrees.
|, A twenty-mile wind accompanied
the cold wave.
According to the morning reports
to the railroads. there are no indica-
tions Of let-up in the cold that is
sweeping in from the northwest. The
reports point to continuation of cold
for some time. A little relief, however,
iS afforded from the fact that all
through the northwest the weather
has cleared. snow has ceased to fall
and generally the wind has died down.
Reports from railroad stations in
dicate that there was not place in
Nebraska where above zero tempera-
ture was recorded. Instead of the
temperature being above, it was l8 to
80 degrees below. Holdrege boasted
of being the warmest railroad point

of the state, at Falls City, Browns

ley, toward Sioux City and across the

Along the. Burlington, Northwest

land, where it was unexpected. All
interest centers. on the policy which
neutral maritime nations will adopt.
The decision of the United States
is awaited with the most intense in

have a strong influence on other neu-
trails and be the most important factor
in the solution OF one OF the most Sc

EIGHTY THOUSAND
FOR NEW HOG BARN
House Committee of Whole
Recommends Bill to Pass
With This Amount.
DOUGLAS FOR MEASURE

Lincoln, Feb. Especial )-Ont
of the hardest fights made against
any measure was precipitated this aft.
ernoon, when the appropriation bill
for 100000 hog barn at the state
fair grounds came up for considera-
tion in committee Of the whole.
Cronin, Friese, McAllister, Liggett
and others, talked for the bill, while
Chairman Reischick of the finance
committee moved indefinite postpone
ment. Eighty thousand dollars was
finally appropriated.
Speaker Jackson took the floor and
announced that if he could not show
that the state fair had been worth
more to the state than ever cost it,
he would ask the house to kill the
bill. He then proceeded to give fig
ures regarding the condition of the
grounds, cost OF buildings and their
present worth and showed that the
state fair had paid out more than
100000 in premiums than it had ever
received from the state, and that a
$750,000 plant had been built up with
only small amout of state aid.
Axtell Out Strong.
Others who spoke in favor OF the
appropriation were: Hostettler, Ncff
and Axtell. The latter said that his
opponent at the election had voted
against the hog barn appropriation
two years ago and had been defeated
at the election and it was one of the
issues made in the campaign in his
county. He believed the people want
ed the barn and he should vote
for it,
Oils of Valley, president of the
state fair board, making strong ap-
peal for support for the appropria-
ton, saying that the Nebraska fair
had the reputation Of being the best
agricultural fair in the country. He
gave history of the organization
and its methods of administration.
Richmond of Douglas talked for
the appropriation and was asked by
Liggett if Douglas county expected
to ask for 100000 for the hospital
State Must Be Liberal.
THAT has nothing to do with this
matter" retorted Richmond. Il just
want to say that the state of Ne
braska cannot afford to pursue a tight
wad policy toward its institutions"
Some of the members thought that
100000 was too much and said they
would support a bill for a smaller
amount The question OF indefinite
postponement lost by a vote OF 81
to SO. Liggctt then moved to cut the
100000 to $4,000. Oils moved to
substitute $4,000 and this carried by
vote Of 49 to A, and the bill was
ordered engrossed for third reading
with that amendment.
