His movements caused great con sternation throughout the eastern states, and every effort was made to resist it. The Confederate army had been increased by the addition of Longstreet’s corps, and the suc cess at Chancelloraville had tnapir od it with the greatest confidence, The Union army was maneuvered 80 a8 to protect Washington and Baltimore.

The frigid receptions he'll get will invoke pity. Ireland, like every other country, has a brood of captains of industry who think they have “made the country prosperous” | by creating industries that employ the people, and, incidentally, make fortunes for the capitalists; but there is another builder of Ireland who has worked quietiy for 20 years without asking one dollar for himself, and who has reared a prosperous agricul- ture on the solid foundatic of economic co-operation. This man is Sir Ho..ce Plunkett. He enrolled 100,000 farmers in 900 societies, that do a business of $15,000,000 a year. | They run their own banks and stores, buy their supplies and! sell their products in common, and steadily raise the level of their social and intellectual life. And that is one way to make Ireland, or any other land, “a free country.” POSTOFFICE department acted wisely in giving prac- tically all employes a holiday today.

Editorial Comment on Wilson’s Nomination CHICAGO, July 4.—The Journal, nomination of Woodrow Wilson comes which brings order out of political chaos democratic: “The! as a master word) President Taft, for| all his tepid pronouncements in favor of progress, is a standpat-! ter, named by standpatters and running on a standpat platform : Gov. Wilson is essentially a progressive, nominated on a dis-| tinctly progressive platform. The nomination of Wilson de-| stroys the remaining excuse for the “bull moose” party of Theo. Roosevelt. The nomination of Wilson marks the change) of the democracy fro ma party of protest to a party of achieve-| ment. Credit for the change belongs to Wm. Jennings Bryan.” Chicago Evening Post, republican: “The democrats have! put their best foot forward. If the people want the new third party, they will have to demand it as a fundamental principle,| and not as a personal indorsement of ; man, however| worthy.” Chicago Tribune, Roosevelt republican: “The democratic | party is to be congratulated upon the choice of Gov. Wilson. It] also owes a debt of thanks to Mr. Bryan, whose successful fight} in the convention against the reactionary plutocracy will go down to posterity as one of the most dramatic exhibitions of | the moral influence of a great leader of the people our political history has ever known.” LONDON, July 4.—The press of London, regardless of| fitics, today applauded the nomination of Gov. Woodrow] Vilson by the democrats at Baltimore, generally asserting that he was the best democrat available “It certainly looks like democratic success,” says the Pall Mall Gazette. “The nomination of Wilson will prevent the| leakage of radical votes from the party to Roosevelt. ‘The se-| = of Wilson will prove an awkward bumper for Roose-| velt.” THE ANIMATED SKELETON A brilliant young actor was spending the week at Atlantic City.
