Wisconsin some years ago abolished the death penalty, and since then a good many atrocious crimes have been committed, and in one case two men were murdered and an entire county defied by a couple of desperadoes. In this case the indignation of the com- munity reached such a pitch that one of the murderers was wrested from the officers and hanged before he was tried. The local demand for a death penalty has led to the introduction of @ measuro to restore the old law, or rather to provide for a death penalty in certain cases, when a jury !EA" de- cide as to its applicatio Tax attention of the su ering sis- ters lo the woman suffrage movement is called to a fow statistics from Bos- ton, the home of their favorite *‘ism.

LOUIS AND MACADAM, A local clique 1n Omaha headed by an editor and tailed by a stone quarry still agitates the paving of a large por- tion of our city with’ limestone macadam, The limestone experiment has been tried more extensively in St. Louis than in any other city in the country, and the result should be sufficient warning to Omaha not to repeat the costly mistake made in 20 | paving Farnham street with this ma- terial. A correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press has been investi- gating the pavements of St. Louis, and declares that in all his journeys in cities, large and small, he has found no such rivers of filth under the name of straets as those which dis graco that city. Of the 320 miles ef streets in St. Lowws, 310 are paved with limestono macadam. In wet woather they are a sea of mud, in dry weather the city is enveloped in a cloud of white grinding dust, which forces many of the inhabitants to close their houses and move in the country. Interviews are given with a number of prominent citizens jwho pronounce the system an abomination which has become intolerable. An energetio ring ot quarrymen keep the stonesa-rolling, runlooal politics, and decide upon the extension of the ma- cadam fraud to new portions of the city. Within a fow months public opinion has become so aroused that the board of public improvements have been compelled to recommend granite pavements in the heayy busi- ness portions of the city and the ma- cadam is to be removed to make way for the only desirable and economical paving matedial One of the arguments of the advo- cates of macadam for Omaha is that the atreets can be kept in repair with a comparatively small expenditure of money. On this subject The Pioneer- Press correspondent says: “‘But, after all, it is not so much the limestone macadam from wtich the streets of St. Louis sutfer, as from the neglect of keeping them up, This results from the excessive cost of the work. The streets pulverizs into dust and mud so rapidly, and there is such o vast extent of them, that itisa work of Hercules to keep them barely passable, to say nothing of preserving them in their original excellence. Even a limestone macadam street can be kept in good condition. It is done in Chicago, an instance of which is the elegant Prairie avenue of that city, on which reside many of its great merchant princes. That avenue is constructed of lime- stone macadam, and the property owners residing upon it keep it in the finest condition by assessing them- selvesb0 cents per front foot annually, which for both sides of the street is an annual {ax or §1 a foot. In St Louis the past year, $140,000 has been expended in scattering brokan stone over 310 miles of macadam strects—about $470 per mile, or not quite 9 cents per-front foot. This is a little more than a fifth of the sum paid in Chicago for a like purpose. The result 1s that the amount of stone thus drawn on is utterly lost in the long rivers of mud that are attempted to be filled, and the attempt is very very like an effort to fill the Pacific ocean by dumping into it the Rocky mountain chain. To expend money enough to do the work adequately, however, would simply swamp the treasury, and so, between their ex- tensive system of macadem streetsand their mability to maintain them, the plo of St. Louis are compelled to wallow and wade, and the prospect is that they will continue to wallow and wade for many long years to come, It would be a costly folly for Oma- ha to experiment any farther with the limestone macadam pavement. It has failod wherever it has been attempted. The magnificent roads of Essex coun- ty, N. J., which are so often mention- ed as macadamized, are constructed from volcanic rock, and laid at an ex- pense which renders them little cheap- er than block pavement. The Telford wacadam 18 impracticable for Omah: Even a granite macadamized street is open to the serious objection of being difficult to replace after repairs, and expensive to maintain when once laid. The best pavement for our streets, IRELANDS OPPORTUNITY- WILL IT BE LOST? Under the above title Mr. John Boyle O'Reilly discusses in the Ameri- can Catholic Quarterly Ruview the present condition of political affairs in Ireland, Tue Bre has been a con- sistent advocate of every reform for which the LandLeague hasbattled from its inoeption. It beliceve that peace- ful legal agitation, appealing for re- cognition solely upon justice and right, for Ireland the the moral support cf public opinion in eyery land. The Land League waa founded upon a principle. It was supportod by the masses of Eng lish speaking people in every land. The reputable press of the United States, with very few exceptions, threw its tremendous influence in its favor, and the result was that in less than two years from the first meeting, addressed by Michael Davitt, a land law was wrung from the English Par- liament ‘granting to the tenant farmers of Treland vastly more than the most radical land leaguer demanded. Glad- stone was the only man to lead where any Englishman dared to follow. He with an would gain came nto power over- whelming majority. He framed a law as he had promised and compelled his party to supportit, oven while the Irish members obstructed 1ts passage by every means, and finally forced the House of Lords to approve a measure that diminished the revenue of its members hundreds of thousands of dollars. The law was put to practical test by making liberal Irishmen its interpreters. Rents were reduced from fifteen to forty per cent. wherever the commissiones were asked to fix a legal rate, and many estates went begging in the market for a purchaser, so sweeping was the reduction. The leaders of the TLand League at home, foroed by the pressure from America, attempted to obstruct the operation of the law; they were arrested and imprisoned, and to-day there is left the mere shadow of a mighty organi- tion, forced into a premature grave by revolutioniats, outlawed at its birth-place, the rank and file com- pelled to meet in secret hiding places, beset by a hordo of hungry Judases, and abandoned for the time by its best friends in and oat of Ireland, Such in brief is the history of the Land Leagne — glorious from birth to manhood; its declining lustre dimmed by impracticable lecders aud unwise counsels from abroad. Had the league accepted the Jand act in good faith and pushed its operation everywhere, securing every possible reduction of rent, the result would have been vastly more beneficial to Ireland; be- sides, the orginization would have re- mained intact, strengthened by the laurels of fresh-won victory and ready to battle vigorously for an Irish par liament in Dablin, Gladstone's re- cent speech foreshadows parliamentary separation in a modified form, proba- bly county or district government, and his adyanced views are liable to lead to his dowuf.ll unless Irish mem. bers and Irishmen generally support and encourage him. Mr. O'Reilly’s article in this con- nection is timelyg, various movements for Irish independence, beginning with that of '48—the Young ‘‘Irelanders,” the Repeal, and the Fenian movements and the Land League up to the imprisonment of Parnell and Lis followers. He claims where the traffic is heavy, will be found the least expensive in the end, and cross streots should be laid with such pavements as combine ‘economy with durability, facility in replace: ment after disturbance, and cheapness in maintanance. RALwAY commissions are s farce. No wonder Iowa tires of them,— Omaha Herald, And why have railroad commissions proved a farce? Ien't it because the ocorporation managers spoke the truth “Thero is no doubtiug the fack that a when they boasted that it was eacier stranger iu a city always derives the L bny t_hro’ b fll'lll 9 purohu_n first improssion of tho comparative & majority in ."h“ l.egulutureT If rail- merit of the papers from the adver- road commissions in somo states have tis:ments~their compactnces e proved a farco 8o far as consulting the character. For instance, s strauger | VTt of the people is concerned, picks up one paper, scans its ‘ad’ col- the fault has lain not with the princi- umne and finds a leanness in the plo of railway regulation, but with “want,’ ‘lost,’ ‘found,’ and such adver. tirements. rary umus of these kind of advertisements He immediately concludes—and very reasonably - that the latter is thy newspaper of that city, are the journals which catch the most of the tiausient patronage, the administration of the laws by Ho looks at & contempo- these constituted judges of their en- notices that it has full col- | forcement and infraction, What the railroad commissions have failed to do will bs accomplished in Nebraska by Aud thess | i\dly drawn statutes enforoed by re- sponsible aud honest men elected by the producers of the state. the Land League has succeeded. *‘It has compelled the passage of a law that will lower rents, more or less, It has raised the Irish question into cos- mopolitan attention, It has crystal- ized the national sentiment of the trish people and their descendants in America, ~ Australia, Canada, and other countries. But above all its good results, —it has nationalized the Irish farmers, traders, priests, and well-to-do clusses, and they stand now ready and waiting for the next act in the national drama. ““It is time for the curtain to rise again. When the Land League, aided fearfully by the fumine, began its agitation, its timeliness and foroe were acknowledged by all Irish parties. The Home Rulers virtually sub- sided, giving the new comers their place. + The Revolu: tionists locked on with unfriendly oyes, at first, fearing that the land movement, which only aimed at a de- tail, would distract attention trom the National idea. But as they watched, they saw that the new agitation was raising the farmers and tradesmen into activity, aud after & time the Land League was left alone in the field, to work out 1ts purposes as bost it could. “‘Mr. Parnell's object for the organ- ization, expressed more than a year ago, was the ex-propriation of Irish landlords,—which wcaus the pur. chaee of the land by the Government, and its re-sale on easy terms to the Irish farmers. Ireland does not want this to-day, and would be most un- wise to accept it. 1f Eogland during the past two years had had statesmen of first-rate quality, she would have speedily offered this settlement; and had the people of Ireland accepted her offer they would now find them- selves more ivextricably bound to Great Britain than ever the act of Union bound men. ‘*‘But," it will be said by some abolish rent altogethor.' Tt meansno such thing. It has never said so, nor has it eyer so intended. Such & pro- position is absurd, so _l'nr at least an the present Irish question is concern- ed. TItisa sial theory which no country has yet accepted. No sensi- ble person expects poor Ireland, strug- gling for very lifo, to voluntarily bur- den herself also with a socialistic mill- stono that would probably sink the United States Therefore, if the Land League has only one legitmate purpose, and if Ireland has reson to reconsider that purpose, it is time to look ahead and take new bearings. “Tho ann of Treland in doing this is fortunately asssted by time and tradition. 'The year 1882 is the cen- tennial of the Irish parlinnent ob- tained by the agitation of Henry Gratton, The progressive issue of the land agitation is a demand for a government of Ireland by the Trish themselves. Mr. O'Reilly urges that Treland agitate for and demnd her own gov- ernment. **No mutter by what name the movement is called, whether home rule, repeal or federation. The result will be practically tho same. The natural resources of the country will bs worked and cherished by its own people, The offioial life will no longer be an alien and inimical net- wo tk spread over the island. We do do not fear for Treland’s future ina federal union with England. Nature has given the lesser country inestima- ble advantazes. The anti trade laws passed by England in the last century are proof that even then sho feared mercantile and manufacturing com- petition with Ireland. The intelli- gence of commerce will steer its merchant ships into Ireiand’s southern and western ports, to avoid the dangers of the fatal Eng- lish Chanpel. The unrivalled water power of the riyers, from whose tumbling streams even the flour- mills have disappeared, will drive the wheels of manufacture into rapid com petition with Lancashire. And if, after a fair trial of the federal union, it were found that Ireland suffored by the bond, that she was outnuinbered in council, harassed and injured by imperial enactments, that in fact it was an unequal and unbearable con tract, then still there remains the ultimate appeal of an oppressed people —separation even by the sharp edge of violence." He says the Irish- American conven- tion at Chicago committed a grave blunder 1n not starting a national proposition. *‘Had that wmeeting spoken for an Liish government in Ireland, with the Union repealed, and a federal union substituted, Ireland would have answered like one mun. That meeting did not so speak, be- cause a fow men antagonizo tho Home Rule idea, and declare that they will have nothing less then utter eepara- tion trom Eugland, with a republican and socishstic government for Tre land.” To obtain this Ircland would have to fight England with arms. The proposition _ he considers ab- surd, suicidal, England with 60,000 trained men garrisoned in Ireland, with unlimited stores of war material, and war vessels guard- ing every harbor—what could Ireland do? Without materials of war ora place t> manufacture them, aund, He reviews the (P! above all, without money or a nation- al treasury or credit to draw from. Mr. O'Reilly concludes that the sooner Iroland in America speaks out against suicidal revolution the better. OOCIDENTAL JOTTINGS CALIFORNIA.

The Land League has demonstrated its neces- sity to the world. It will give life to the magnificent organization which now has nothing to do but raise money. It will receive instant and thorcugh approval and support from the Oatholic hierarchy and priests both in Treland and America, and from intelligent and conservative men who have hithertn avoided all Irish national movements, “Unless this demand is made, acd soon made, the Land League organi- zation will dwindle into insignificance, and an opporiunity such as Ireland has not seen for a century will be lost.” Mg.
