BATUBDAY EVENING, APBH. 7. 1898 Feels, as Well as Mures. The.Irishmen who are undertaking te drive England out of Ireland by the ap plication of dynamite te the people and things in England have taken a very large contract, and one which there is no reasonable probability that they will get through with- They may de a great deal of damage te Englishmen, but the mere they de the smaller becomes their chance of releasing Ireland from English rule. They ought te be wiser than te suppose that the methods they adept will advance their purpose. When they are strong enough te conquer England they will be able te nationalize Ireland by force. But their secret dynamite methods are a confession that they are unable te cope with England in open battle. They cannot, therefore, violent ly overthrew her. They may overturn all In r public buildings and murder a large percentage of their pnblic men ; but the nation will still stand in its integrity, but with its people inllamed against the men who seek by cowardly methods of assassina tions te de what all history tells cannot se be done. The Irishmen who are led by such feels as O'Donevan Ressa te consider themselves patriots who are doing efficient work for the liberation of Ireland, by the secret use of dynamite, may understand when they are strung up for it that they have been feels for their pains ; a fact which every one of respectable sense recognizes uew. ripe Lines. There may be some better reason than has yet been adduced against the con cession of the state's right of eminent domain te pipe line companies,but if the justice of their claims cannot be gainsaid by mere forcible arguments than these thus far urged against them, even this jealously guarded right cannot with better reason be withheld from them than from the railroad companies of whom it is new extended te all comers. The alleged damaging effect of these lines upon the country through which they pass is net sustained by the evidence of experience. There is no complaint of this in the regions where they new run ; that the farmers are net afraid of It is evident from the readiness with which they sell the rights of passage, it having been shown in the Legislature that hundreds of the very ' farmers," whose pretests Senater Cooper claimed te represent, had signed rights te the Standard monopoly te run Its lines through their land. The argu ment that pipe lines are net of the same local convenience as railroads is meas urably true, but neither are they of the 8 ime local disadvantages ; and as it is manifestly te the advantage of the whole state that one of its great products should have free course te its seaports and refineries, whereas it Is new diverted from them, the country trat lies between its termini will eventually be benefited b allowing pipe lines te freely trav erse it. s If the Standard pips line monopoly had net grossly abused its priviliges and the Pennsylvania railroad company had net shamerully discriminated between oil shippers, or if they would even new net interfere with contemplated pipe lines in their purchase, upon reasonable terms, of rights of way, there would be no demand for a free pipe line law ; but as their combined monopoly has placed four millions of people at the mercy of a score or less of confederated capitalists who have broken up Pennsylania indus tries far mere effectually than was ever threatened by free trade, common fair ness as well as common sense, have sug gested that it be put out of the power of the monopolies te prevent fair competi tion in the business of common carriage. There is no reason why farmers who are injured directly or indirectly by pipe lines, should net recover amply for pre sent or future damages, if any ensue. But the present effort te excite their fears is net nearly se intense or reasona ble as was the first opposition te rail rail reads, and it is net likely te be any mere effective. Mb. Arthur will hardly take much comfort by hia motion te the Seuth in this April weather, when already the heat here is uncomfortable. lie would have done better te go North. Flerida in April is net a paradise ; and the St. Jehns river, in whose waters the presi dent proposes te fish, is net an inviting field for that amusement. If Mr. Arthur does net return with a touch of malaria, he will be fortunate. At this season the seaport towns of Fernandina and St. Augustine are about the only safe and reasonably comfortable spots in the land of Flerida which is a geed deal lovelier at any time in its distant contemplation than in its close acquaintance. Chaplain McCabk did net succeed before the New Yerk Methodist confer ence with his scheme of raising a two cent tax upon every member of the con ference te pay the debt of the Metropoli tan church in Washington. That bur den of debt is the relic of a pretentious sheddyism in the days when Grant was paraded as a member of the church and Parson Newman was his and its preacher. It is net much wonder that the effort te relieve it from debt awakens assecia tiens that render it distasteful te the better Methodist sense. "'Gov. Butler suggested te the Mas sachusetts preachers that they observe fast day by abstaining from politics in the pulpit. Having the common weak ness of human nature the cod fish par sons would net be lectured, and with one accord their pulpits rang with de nunciations of Butler, thereby, no doubt, unwittingly serving the very end he had in view. -a Senater Mtlik, Representative Ga han and ex-Resident Clerk of the Heuse Patterson between whom the responsi bility for its suppression seems te lie have net yet responded te our invitation te tell what has become of Mr. Bierly's minority legislative report en the state agricultural college. Shew up. The Standard oil company must realize that a great change has come ever the spirit of the times when it finds itself net only powerless te affect legisla tion, but understands that it needs but te be known what it wants te have its want denied. The free pipe bill passed the Senate by a heavy majority, but would net have any votes for it if the Standard oil company had wanted it te be passed. It had its only virtue in its reputed power te paralyze the monopo lizing plans of that company. - TnE Jfew Era graciously recommends that " the Legislature give every con temnlated pipe line a charter that cheeses te ee into business." The new constitution has se changed the mode of obtaining charters that they no longer depend upon the favor of theL.egisia ture. Under certain restrictions tne executive or the courts grant charters. The Legislature has nothing te de with it. It is te be feared that as a " golden haired angel of reconciliation " Senater Cooper has thus far only succeeded in welding Lis Democratic and Independent colleagues mere closely together A sub committee of the state Senate with two Republicans at oue end, two Democrats at the ether, and Senater Stewart in the middle ought te be able te frame a just and acceptable apportion ment bill. Jumbo, with commendable solicitude for his future welfare, will naturally be in clined te continue his present geed be havier rather than become a target for Barnum's pistol balls, as was the pathetic fate of his incorrigible friend Pilet the ether day. Comic er-EiiA has its uses as has been made mauifest since the abolitieu of red uniforms in the British army, by recalling the fact that Lady Jane in "Patience'' pointed out that red and yellow were pri mary colors, and that a mere agreeable uniform could be made of a cobwebby gray, "like cold gravy." Judge Wm. Lawuencc, who has been trotted out as the likely next Republican candidate for governor of Ohie, turns out te be a thrifty exponent of the prevailing " Ohie idee." In 1802 ha served as the colonel of a regimeut that was guarding railroads and while he was absent from the bench four months drew his nay as colonel for the whole period. Tueue is a desire ou the part of the authorities of the National Guard te es tablish a military company iu this city. The command has been recruited for some time the membership is full and well drill ed, and only needs an efficient captain te make it a success and te have it connected with the N. G. The time is exception ally opportune because with t';e disband ment of the old volunteer ffre department, the military spirit has naturally revived. Who shall be captain ? The Jewish Mesiengei, of New Yerk, de pleres the increasing lick of religious ley alty among the people of its faith, atd sees no increase of symgognes cjinmensu- rate with their increasing wealth and in flaence. It explains, hewever, thit "ley alty te the synagogue as the authorized exponent of Jewish law, learning and life is becoming less acknowledged, and that .many shirk their obligations as Israelites are perhaps indicative net se much of dis satisfaction with Judiasm as of dislike te the foreign and scholastic atmosphere with which it is associated. The syna gogue in America, te attract and enchain young American Jews, mush be American in in its methods, organization and sur roundings. The foreign rituals and rituals foreign te the taste and convictions of the class expected te attend are fatal stumb ling blocks mere and mere every day as our young cellege bred men and women desire their Judaism te be something mere than Asiatic or Semitie, with a dull, distant leek and antiquated character." flSKSONAL. Mr. Hatten is net overjoyed at the ap peintment of Gresham as his chief. This is net at all remaikable. Senater Batard will deliver the era tien at the Yale law fcchoel commence ment.

Peter Cooper is net buried before it is proposed te erect a monument te his mem ory in New Yerk. It is fortunate for Mr. Cooper that he erected his own monument during his life time. Rev. W. H. H. Morray has denied that he left San Antonie dishonorably or in company with a lady companion. A pri vate telegram from San Antonie states that a personal enemy has spread such re ports in order te injure Mr. Murray. Governer Pattison last night issued his proclamation in reference te the for feiture of the ch irters of corporations which fail te comply with the previsions of the act of 1879". They are given thirty days from the date of the proclamation in which te comply with the law. Senater Lee, whose term does net ex pire until 1886, says that he will resign his seat in time te allow a successor te be elected in 1884 for the remainder of the term.

His cell was the south room at the extreme east end of the ward, which is en the east side of the first fleer front, and en Tuesday he tried twice te bang himself, once with a blanket in his cell and the second time te the pipes of the water closet by makiug a repe of his drawers.

Last evening the play of " The Tramp's Daughter, or Paste and Diamonds " was presented in the opera house te a rather slim audience. The piece is purely Amer ican and is full of humor as well as senti ment and is sure te please the publie. It tells a story which is full of interest, an outline of which is as fellows : Jacquine, the heroine of the piece, who is a millin ery apprentice, has a druuken father, and te support him and herself she is com pelled te accept a position in the ballet at the Felly theatre. While there she develops a talent for the stage aud is very anxious te make her first appearance. Phineas Flamm, the manager of the theatre, is unable te pay his salaries and the leading lady refuses te go en. Dick Vinten, a bill pester and a firm friend of Jacquine, suggests that she be allowed te take the leading role. This is laughed at by the manager, but at a rehearsal he is convinced that the girl is able te take the part.

The role of Jacquine was sustained by Miss Vickers, who is just at home in the character. She is a lady full of vivacity and sprightliness, and at once made her sell a great favorite with the audience. She has a handsome face and a fiue voice, which she uses te geed effect iu the singing of a number of new songs. Her imita tions of Kate Claxteu, Modjeska and ethers, are wonderful. A feature of her performance is her geed dancing, as se many artists in plays of this kind spoil their parts by attempting te dance when they cannot. The scene where the actress makes her debut is very real, and the au dience became greatly excited. Miss Yickers was called before the curtain at the close pf the act, and the applause was tremendous. The lady received valuable support from Charles Rogers, who ap peared as Dick Vinten, the bi!I pester, in which character he displayed great versa! i icy. His imitations of Jee Jeffersen, Frank Maye and ether great, actors wure exceedingly clever. The support was geed, especially Spencer Pritchard, a well known actor, who appeared as Geerge Graven, the rich club man. The piece- may be considered a success and it certainly was warmly re ceived here. The company will appear again te-night and these who attend will be well entertained. MElUUBUKHUOO AKW.t.
