This is to be regretted from the point of view of literature, but not from that of the Irish landlords who would be its principal victims. A new Irish Government ‘“dole™ bill, now before the House of Commons, is meeting with a good deal of Nationalist opposition, and It is almost needless to say that Mr. Healy is at the head of this congenial campaign. He is facile princeps in all matters of invective. He believes fn the power of ridicule to kill at any man’s methods have not quite satisfied themselves that he thinks upon his legs, His speeches, llke those of the present week, {rresistibly suggest careful and elaborate study. They savor of much ofl, though their spirit is more suggestive per- haps of the electric light. Mr. Healy, amyway, bears himself in his walks like a man oblivious to this world and medi- tating upon a brief for another planet. His sardonic temperament finds a special fit- ness in what some one called the honora- own epie to leave the railway a long way | behind. Mr. Healy came to the front as private secretary to Mr. Parnell in the lu- crative days of Kilmainham—lucrative the reputation-making sense. Yet to M Healy history will accord most of the re- sponsibility for Mr. Parnell's defeat in committee room 15. His leading charac- teristic is sturdiness to a purpose, and this is to be seen in all his public dealings. He ha$ made Parllamentary insolence a fine art, and his irreverent description of Mr. Speaker Peel “sitting on the pounce’™ j » but who shall control the organization for | I #E th; Prpes e (;lf cnclouragcmcnt_ It seems, | range; and he uses ms” ':;“‘”0'; :’;:g;rg' zé;fi:xll;;fm}‘;egfia?gn;figsa“g:g}:::d:;;i to suspend recreant Irish members is de- it wo haie : ikt 004 T offier Motk wak a5 Htstion ol oo | Howest dion) reports that have reached us from |ingly.

Congress had initiated the purchase of that grove by authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to bond it. His views of the method of proceeding were not at one with those of the owner, and a bill was intro- duced providing for the judicial adjustment of the title and purchase of the property. This was favorably reported to the House and the Senate, and just then appeared the petition for the purchase of the Santa Cruz redwoods at a cost of public career s a Coroner, will easily rise from ng the dead to administering on the estate. He | will not only be administrator but residuary legatee | , for whatever comes out of this campaign will to him alone as the sovereign ruler of Greater | ew York. B e S . According to the estimates of Lord Tweedmouth, the expenditure of the South African war will amount delicacy of touch in his humor which alleviates the pain of its wriggling vic- tim and makes death, in a way, amusing. One of Mr. Healy's principal targets is the honorable and gallant Member for North Armagh, another is the honorable Member for South Belfast. But the Par- liamentary tournament has this relieving quality, all who may be unsaddled or left to bite the dust live to fight another day. So Colonel Saunderson and Mr. Johnston invariably come up smiling whenever there is a landlord to defend or an “in- terest” to succor against the raids of gentlemen opposite. In these raids Mr. Healy leads; and the service which he renders to the cause common to all—that actual or simulated, to treat all men alike with contempt. He is a free lance, and is an Irish Hal o’ the Wynd, but not in the mercenary sense. He cannot help it, and it fits in with what is called “‘the gen- tle art of making enemies.” But Mr. Healy has no notion of making himself the best hated man in Ireland. It is all the result|of being misunderstood. Mr. Balfour once said of the difficulty of sat- isfying the demands of the Ulster me bers, “I know what the eighty-five Na- tionalists want, but I cannot understand what the twenty-two Irish Conservatives want.” Mr. Healy probably knows what he would have his party do, but the party trait of the ex-Speaker by a renowned R. A. It 1s untrue, however, that he pi tured Mr. (now Sir) Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman in the character of Chief Secre- tary as “an attempt to govern Ireland with Scotch jokes.” Mr. Healy is noth- ing if not industrious, and he {s said to have been the only M. P. of his day to grasp Mr. Gladstone’s great Irish land act. He is known to banter as “Chlef Jus- tice Healy,” and to the statute as author of the “Healy clause,” which rescued ten- ants’ improvements. In his private rela- tions Mr. Healy Is sald to be as soft as velvet and as playful as a kitten.
