Hon. Chauncey Mitchell Depew. the dis
tinguished Junior senator from New York
state, Is overflowing with happiness and
geniality these days. A bridegroom of four
months, the halo of his honeymoon Is ra
diant with bubbling Joy which "age does
not wither nor custom stale." In a burst of
Joyous confidence Mr. Depew revealed to
Kate Carew, correspondent of the New York
World, the secret of love's young dresm at
the autumn of life, and dropped a few per

The Irish national movement has ones
gain advanced to a front place In the
political life of the British empire. Not
for many years have the vast majority of
the Irish people been so thoroughly united
In the home rule cause and so admirably
represented In the House of Commons as
we see them at the present day. Not
withstanding, or perhaps to a certain ex
tent because of the excitement caused by
the events In South Africa, the Irish ques
tlon has anaumfd a position of Importance
auch as It had never held since the death
of Charles Stewart Parnell.
After that event, and Indeed after the
division In the Irish party which preceded
It, the cause of home rule appeared for a
time to be In a languishing and discredited
condition. The national representation of
Ireland In Parliament was divided Into two
parties, one by far the larger In numbers
and the other, although numerically very
email, yet strong la the Intensity of its
emotions, and what teemed to be Its utterly
Irreconcilable attitude. The country itself
was divided In much the same way. The
great majority of the Irish nationalists
were antl-Faroellltes, as the phrase then
went, while there was still an effective
mlnclty of uncompromising Parnellltes.
seed not enter at any length Into the his
tory of the melancholy and disheartening
Interval of something like political inaction
which followed. Most of the Irishmen en-
caged In the movement saw perfectly well
even at the gloomiest moment of that In
terval, that the national cause Itself was
founded upon a rock of principle and that
no unhappy accidents could prevail against
It. The heart, the faith and tbe intelli
gence of the Irish people at home and
abroad are set on accomplishing the na
tional claim of Ireland to govern Us own
affairs by means of an Irish Parliament.
The demand Is that Ireland shall have such
a domestlo Parliament to deal with Its
own work as the Dominion of Canada has
long enjoyed and as the Australian com
monwealth has lately obtained, oucn
demand as this, ao reasonable In principle,

surceas and therefore at the darkest hour
of depression we Irishmen, whether living
In or out of Ireland, never felt the slightest
doubt that success must come In the eud.
Founder of the
The audden and complete revival of the
TJnlted National movement Is, however,
mainly due la tho first Instance to the pa
triotic energy and fervor of one Irishman,
William O'Brien. This man, who had been
Imprisoned more than once In Ireland for
delivering speeches against the existing
government and against some acta of legis
lation which any Englishman might have
delivered In England and any American
night have spoken In Washington, had won
a reputation even in the hostile Houne of
Commons for sincerity, for unselfish devo
tion to his cause and for thrilling elo
quence. He had won the affection and the
onfldence of his own people te the fullest
extent O'Brien became Inspired with the
Idea of undertakng a sort of crusade
throuchout Ireland against disunion of
whatever kind and of creating a new na
tlonal organization which should take the
direction of the movement Into Us own
hands. He devoted his energy and elo
quence, such remains of health and strength
as he had and his personal means to carry
on this new agitation. He founded the
Irish National league, which has Us repre
sentative and ruling bodies In every towa
and village of Ireland, and Is now ail-pow
erful In tbe choice of the men who are to
maintain the cause of Ireland la the British
House of Commons. Under former condl
Hons It might not unfairly be said that tha
Irish Parliamentary party controlled the
people Of Ireland. Now It may truly be

How Valoav Was Effected.
The National league became a complete
success, and Is now thoroughly established
all over tbe country. O'Brien's health
towever, completely broke down under the
strain and pressure of the great task he
had undertaken, and his country has for a
long time had to dispense with his serv
ices In the House of Commons. In order
that he might. as far as possible recruit

views have the stamp of patriarchal wis
dom and will prove cheering and soothing
to people troubled that way.
Has remarriage made you more of an
optimist than ever?" tbe correspondent
asked.
"Indeed It has!" he replied, with the con
fidential air which elts so well upon him.
"Never did I view the world through such
roee-colored spectacles as now."
You would recommend marriage as a
cure for the blues, then?"
Not Indiscriminately It all depends on
the woman! I have been informed that
there are Instances la which marriage

"Does marriage Improve a man's stand
Ing In society?"
"I can't see that It has any effect, unless
he Is a young man with his way to make,
and then a clever wife can help him so
cially."
"How does marriage affect a man's popu
larity?"
"It ought to Improve It. Of course, some

Senator Depew shook his head with an
air of real melancholy and then, catching
himself In the act. burst Into a peal of
laughter.
"What Is the best sge for marriage?"
"That depends on the man."
"Do you think a young man Is ever really
capable of appreciating a charming
woman V
"No, I don't!" sald8enator Depew, with
abrupt emphasis. "It Is a melancholy fact,
but a young man labors under serious limit
ations. In that respect. To appreciate a
charming woman a mature womaa, a
woman of Intellect and sensibility, whose
character Is formed and whose heart Is
ruled by the million delicate emotions and
Impulses which are at once the strength
and weakneea of your sex to appreciate
such a woman demanda experience."
Senator Depew laughed, and also blushed
a little. "Many men take years to ripen
to that point," he continued, forcibly re
covering his gravity. "Some men never ar
rive at all. The usual history of a man's
education In love has Its ssd features.
Take the average man who marries early
In life. He la young and romantic, and
so is she. In the beginning there is a
great deal of sentiment, very ardent, very

feels terribly bad about It. He thinks
that all the sentiment has gone out of bis
life not realizing how much he has done
to drive It out. He recalls what a good
wife she has always been to him, he pays
her the tribute of feeling lonely and un
happy, and well, before long he is so
desolate that he Is actually compelled to
marry again!"
8enator Depew laughed again over the
ashes of tragedy.
"He meets a charming woman with a good
deal of sentiment In her as every woman
has and to her he learns to fly for con
solation. 6he Is sympathetic, of course
every women is and his grief and lone
liness affect her very much. Her com
panionship becomes Indlspenslble to him.
He sees her surrounded with all the re
finements belonging to her station, always
at her best, and after a while he finds
romantic feelings stirring within blm
where he had thought all was desolation!
"And so he marries again, and you can
Imagine for yourself how much richer the
sentimental prospects are than in tbe first
marriage!"
"Is true happiness to be found through
any other path than the affections?"
"It is not," he said, emphatically, "and

demand for dinners. Pshaw I Any one
would think dinners are the only things In
life!"
"Has the widower any advantage over
a bachelor In tbe search for a wife?"
"Well, I should say be had!" (A par
tlcularly appreciative peal.) "An Intelli
gent widower ought to be ashamed of him
self If he Is not more than a match for
all 'the bachelors in Christendom! But
don't want you to misunderstand me. I'm
not speaking of the typical 'winner' the
man whose aim In life la to capture
women'a hearts. Some men cultivate that
pursuit as a fine art, you know. I asked
such a man the other day how he did It
'Oh, I have made It the study of a life
time,' he explained. 'I know tbe weaknesses
of the sex, and I play upon them. It's like
learning the piano.'
"Of course, a cold-blooded fellow like
that would not capture any real love,
though he might think he did, and In say
lng that a widower has an advantage In
lovemaklng, I am thinking of a man who
Is sincere and true."
"Does the same rule apply to widows?
"Of course It does! Oh, my!" (A pro'
longed peal.) "A young gtrl In the same
room with a nice widow hasn't a ghost of

tervals ot complete rest. The first condi
tion on which the National league Insisted
was the abandonment of all the Internal
disputes which had led to the disunion of
the parliamentary party, and the yeconsti-
tutlon of that party under one chosen
leader. The leading men and Indeed all
the men ot both sections ot the party
readily and gladly fell In with the proposi
tion. Those who composed the majority of
tbe party not only declared their readiness
to accept the terms, but even of their own
accord declared their willingness to elect
a leader fronr that small section which had
always proclaimed Itself Parnellite. John
Dillon waa then the chosen leader of the
majority, and by his sincerity, his aelf-
sacrlQcIng patriotism and his great politi
cal capacity be had won the full confidence
of those who followed him, and In the
ordinary course ot events might have
been elected and re-elected as leader
through the whole course of bis life. But
with an abnegation of aelf which was thor
oughly characteristic, John Dillon, who
saw at once the great national advantage
which might come from giving the place of
leader to one of the small Parnellite party.
Insisted on resigning bla place as leader.
and firmly declared that under no condi
tions would he accept re-election to the
office during the existing or the next com
ing Parliament. Then the reunited Irish
Parliamentary party agreed to elect as Its
leader John Redmond, who had been one
ot the moet devoted of Parnell's follow
ers, and who had stood by Psrnell during the
long days of debats at ths meetings of the
Irish Parliamentary party of that time In
the famous committee room No. 15. had
recognised Parnell as his only leader until
Parnell's death, and clung to ths title ot
Parnellite after Parnell had been laid
In the grave. John Redmond Is a man
still In the prime ot life. He Is possessed
of courage, coolness, devotion to ths
national cause, and a rsrs gift of
ready eloquence In Parliament and on the
platform. Vnder theae conditions a thor
oughly ualted Irish Parliamentary party
once more presented Itself In the House
of Commons, and when the general elec
tion came on in the winter of 1900 the
unanimous voice of Irish nationalism In
the Irish constituencies sent thst reunited
party back to Parliament strengthened la
mere numbers and strengthened beyond
estimate In ths consciousness of national
support.
Tie Xew Leader.
Redmond has proved thus far a brilliant
and a capable leader, and he has received
the most loyal aad Indefatigable support
from men like John Dillon whom a short
time before he might have regarded as
personal opponents. Since tbe general elec
tion the Irish party have become with every
succeeding day a more and more powerful
Influence In the House of Commons. Owing
to the late differences and disputes in the
English liberal party, the Irish national
cause has lost some of the support on
which It might once have counted. Lord
Rosebery has declared against home rule,
and some few of the English liberals have
obeyed his whistle and followed In his foot
steps. This fact; however deplorable It
may seem to all true-hearted English lib
erals, has ' only tended to strengthen the
position of the Irish party, for It helps
still further to teach Irishmen that they
must depend upon themselves alone. The
grotesque mis-government of Ireland lately
by the officials of Dublin castle has been
of incalculable advantage to John Redmond
and hi followers. Ireland has been put
absolutely under the control of policemen,
so fsr as the right of public meeting and
publlo speech Is concerned, and this at a
time when the Island Is free from crime
of any kind to a degree absolutely un
known In England. The manner In which
publlo meetings are now suppressed and
dispersed la Ireland at the mere command
of a police official who undertakes to say
before a meeting has begun that the speak
ers are certain to utter unlawful senti
ments, and must, therefore, not be allowed
to speak. Is something only worthy of a
place in one of W. S. Gilbert's delightful
comlo fantasies. Ons is Inclined to wonder
whether In the Irish department of the
preaent administration there is no man
with brains enough or with enough senss ot
humor to recognize the hopeless absurdity
of such attempts to deal with tbe Irish
national movemeat. '
Oa tke Flrla Llae.
In tbe meantime all this tells Immensely
for the advantage of the Irish Parliament
ary party, united, disciplined and nationally
supported ss It now Is. The Irish party
makes itself 'Conspicuous in every great
debate. It always stands by the cause ot
the working clssses, the poor and tbe op
