- ISH COERCION AFALURE Government Gives Up Its Dras- tic Policy of Jails and Chains) and Is Returning to Concilia- tory Measures for the People. A NEW ERA IS NOW IN SIGHT. of William Red: the Announcement that Nineteen of Thirty-one Af- fected’ Counties Are Exempted from Coercion Aet. (Special Cable to The Frente World.) DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 4--Coerclon has again failed to suppress the agita- tion for justice that has been raging with considerable force in this count for the last year. Once more the Gov- ernment has Iearned, as my last cable to The Evening World predicted, that the application of force will not restrain the Irlshman's never-dying fight for hu- man rights. Te release of William Redmond ves- terday before half of his sentence had expired, and the release of Mr. Reddy, dications that the Government has grown tired of the method oft tried to end public discussion of political or agrarian questions in Ireland. Already the coercion proclamations in nineteen out of thirty-one counties in which the drastic Inw was applied have been rescinded and trial by jury re- sumed, These facts. taken In conjunction with the commutation of the death sentence of Col. Arthur Lynch, are interpreted as signifying England's desire to begin an era of concillation which will re- celve its greatest boom in the Land and Purchase bill to be introduced tn the House of Commons by Mr, Wyndham, Under-Secretary for Ireland. in March. ‘This bill will, It is believed by students of uu affairs, settle the troublesome etion forever by making the wcrs thelr own landlords. @he Leading Victimn, Durinw the year that has passed the coercion campaign included among and two ex-members, nine editors, three gistrates, a large number of district and county councillors and one woman. The woman is Mrs. O'Mah owner of the Watertord Star and one Was sentenced to two months’ imprison. ment for publishing reports of United irish League meetings of which Dublin Castle disapproved. She was sentenced months ago, but the Government has pot yet plucked up courage to Imprison The ten members of Parliament are Messrs. William Redmond, Michael Reddy, P. A. McHugh, J.P. Masrell, John O'Donnell, John Roche, William Duffy, E. Haviland Burke, J.P. Haydn and Conor O'Kolly. Of these O'Donnell, Roche and Farreit are at present in prison. Mr, McHugh completing 2 two months’ sortence, making eleven months in all within the past two years, Mr, McHugh, tt may be mentioned. has been six times Mayor of his own town, Sligo. One of the prisoners, Mr. Timothy O'Flanagan, a Magistrate of County Limerick, has become insane.

Let the women who do, the Irish, the Germans, the Ital- fans, go ahead and have them ‘hey are ft for it.” “The fashionable woman of to-day—the native American woman—would rather have a dog than a baby. Even when they have children they take the pug out for an airing on the vacant seat in the carriage and leave thelr offspring | to the oare or carelessness of pald governesses and nurses, It is a calamity if Flossie or Dottie is not taken out for a walk daily, but do they know whether thelr own children are being properly taken care of? “Unless there is @ great change in the apirit of these women, unless they see their error and amend it, the good old American blood will be absorbed gradually by the ever-increasing horde of foreign immigrants, the scum of the older coun- tries. We will be a nation of mongrels itving in the good land for which our splendid forefathers fought and conquered.

PARKHURST CONCURS. The warning blast of Dr. Shrady has evoked a concurrent utterance from Dr, Parkhurst, who sées in the unwillingness to bear children one of the penalties of clviMzation. “The Ufe whtch women lead In such a olty as New York, and indeed in avery urban centre," he says, ‘is such as to make them utterly unfitted for the duties of maternity, and the one or two children they do bring into the world are all too likely to have to pay by thelr own weakness. for the nerve-racking strain under which the parent has lived. No permanent good can be done until men and women as a whole return to simpler modes of tite." The drains upon vitallty made by the feverieh mode of life are responsible in Part, the preacho: thinks, for the cecrease In elze of families, but he considers that “there can bo no doubt that in hundreds of cases this {s the result of dellb- erate intention, “Many women do not want to be bothered with children,” continued Dr. Park- hurst. “They grudge tho interrupticn euch an event would cause in their crowded al life.
