MORAL NOT PHYSICAL FORCE
, Condition! in Ireland Improved by More
Gonnemtive Procedure.
FARMERS ARE COMING TO OWN THE LAND
Chanci That Have Been Wrohl by
1 the Reform In Land I.aw and
Bright Proepeets for tha
Fotare.
i "We have seen more physical force In
Ireland In tbe taut eighteen months than
.the blatherskites In America will lee In
eighteen years," in the way In which
Joseph Devlin, member of the British
Parliament from Belfast, spoke of the peo
ple in this country who are decrying the
efforts of tbe Irish parliamentary party to
secure a measure of home rule and own
ership of land through constitutional meas
ures. Mr. Devlin was speaking of the condi
tion of Ireland and used the language
quoted when asked what he thought of tbe
position taken by the physical force party.
He continued :
"In the twenty-five rears the constitu
tional effort to ameliorate the condition
of Ireland have been In progress we have
accomplished more for Ireland than
previous centuries of physical force effort
i which preceded It. When the agitation
'along peaceable lines drat began the Irish
' man was little better than a serf. He had
no Tote except as bis landlord willed It.
' Open voting was in vogue and in case the
itenant was permitted to vote he had to dp
so viva voce, when his landlord or the
agent was present, and if he voted In op- ,
position to instructions he would be
evicted, and from that order he could make
, no appeal, for at that time the landlord
! could dispossess cny tenant regardless of
, whether be paid his rent. And every im
provement upon the land became the ab
solute property of the landlord as soon as
the eviction took place.
Some (harmed Conditions.
"The constitutional party made Its first
success 'when It secured the secret ballot,
a, result of this being that eighty-five mem
bers of Parliament were returned to se
cure further concessions from the govern
ment. Then came tbe law permitting free
sale, by which the tenant could dispose
of his leasehold and Its improvements with
out consulting the landlord. We have se
cured what Is practically manhood suf
frage; have secured tbe abolition of the
grand 'Juries, which were a constant men
ace to the! people, because they had ab
solute power over all questions of the ex
penditure of public, funds and were not
elected, but chosen by tbe government and
the landlords. Today we have county, dis
trict and parish councils. Some of the
noblest lords of Ireland have recently been
defeated for places on these boards by ten
ant farmers, and Lord Dunraven was re
cently elected by but a few votes over one
of his tenants, and . another of the
victories Is tbe passage of the
present land law under which 7,000 former
tenants have become .owners of the land
which they formerly rented, their hold
ings averaging between thirty and forty'
acres each. .
Improvements lu Land Laws. '
"In addition to this we have forced an
unwilling ministry to pass a new land pur
chase act. We desired an act which would
make the- sale of land compulsory, on the
part Of the landlord. We did not get this
directly, but the bill as prepared by the
government is practically, compulsory sale.
We call It compulsory by Inducement, for
It offers terms to the landlord such as lie
was never offered before and never will
be again. . As the bill is to expire in tbe
course of a comparatively few years we
expect a large number, if not a large ma
jority, of the landlord to dispose of their
holdings under Its terms. In addition to ad
vancing a large amount of money to the
tenants on long-time loans at 3 per cent in
terest for the purchase of the land the gov
ernment appropriates the sum ot $60,000,000,
which is a donation outright, to be used in
paying the landlords the difference between
the price at which they hold the land and
the price which tbe tenant is able to pay,
The purchase of this land is made upon the
basis of the annual rental, and it requires
a sum ranging from the rent of from sev
enteen to twenty years to purchase out
right. The tenant then has about sixty
years In whlc'h to repay the loan to tbe
government. It is worthy of note that the
government recently announced that ot the
T.000 tenants who have purchased under the
old land act but two have failed to keep
up their annual payment.
Party Deserves Endorsement,
"With this record it la strange that any
one should object to the course of the con
atltutlonal party In the British Parliament.
I met a man in St. Paul who asked m it
it were not probable that, if the condl
tlon of Ireland from a material standpoint
were Improved, ths Irish would lose their
race pride and national aspirations. In
reply I asked him, a native Irishman, if
be had lost his race pride and national
aspiration stnoe be came to America, for
to Judge by bis appearance be was neither
starving nor suffering for even the luxuries
of life, and this is the reply I have to
all who advance this argument. If there
is anything in their contention It would
be well to disfranchise tbe Irish, to keep
them living In mud huts in squalor and
degradation, but we have seen the effect

of that policy In constantly decreasing pop
elatron, sml the only way In which to se
cure Ir!h nationality and the restora
tion of the Irish rare Is to Improve the
condition cf tbe Irlehmsn at home and
make bis native land such tbat he can do
as well there as any other place on earth.
"We expect to do this. Ireland bss been
madj to suffer In many ways by reason of 1
the agrarian agitation. People have felt
that investments wouM not be safe In Ire
land whtlo evictions and boycotts, the sus
pension of the right of trial by Jury and of
free speech exists, at times destroying
communities. Whin we have a Just land
law, which will permit the people who oc
cupy the land to become its owners, all of
this agitation will be at an end. As soon
as tbe new land law was Introduced two ot
the millionaire manufacturers of Ireland
announced that they would Invest $2,500,000
In a system of electric roads and suburban
railways In order to bring the farmer Into
closer connection with the centers of popu
lation. Today It costs more to haul freight
from Donegal to Dublin than It does from
Chicago to Dublin, on account of poor trans
portation facilities and railroad monopoly.
As soon as the land agitation ceases men
will Invest In manufactures. Since coming
to America I have seen specimens of rugs
manufactured in Donegal which are better
than those of any other part of the United
Kingdom, and the manufacturer purposes
to Increase the number of his factories.
Horace C. Plankett's Eadeavors.
"But this can only be accomplished by
making the occupants ot the soli tbe own
ers of the soli. This Is shown by the his
tory of tbe society beaded by Horace C.
Plunkett, who owns considerable property
in Oman a. Mr. Plunkett, through his so
ciety, has expended about $3,000,000 to Im
prove Irish farms. Of this amount he drew
a salary of about $10,000 a year, but aside
from the salary there is nothing to show
for the money. At the present time he Is
earnestly engaged In trying to Improve tbo
condition of the Irish race by Increasing
the slxe of tbe eggs laid by the hens ot the
island and in elevating the people by Im
proving the quality of the butter. The
greater amount of the money expended by
him has been toward Improving the condi
tion of the land. Insofar as he has done
this it has been good, but we believe that
this expenditure will be to the sole advan
tage of the landlord when tbe land is to be
sold and believe that the improvements
should not be made until the tenant owns
the land.
'Politically and materially Ireland is in
better condition than it was In the times
of Parnell. We are absolutely united on
the land question the Protestants ot the
north and the Catholics of the south. We
have one more member ot the British Par
liament than we bad In the times of Par
nell and we have been able to raise more
money at home for our work. In all the
parliamentary party has brought to Ireland
In the last five years $50,000 and It has not
cost the people that amount in the last
twenty-five years.
."In my opinion there Is a rift in the
clouds which have long hovered over Ire
land. We who. are on the ground know
better what must be done and we are doing
our best. You may be sure that we are
not going to rise In open rebellion, for we
are' not able to do it, and in place of im
proving our condition it would injure It.

TORTURES
JURY FINDS M'CCICAN GUILTY
Lawri for the Prisoner Arfua oa Theory
of Belf-Defenie. i
THEY CONTEND MURPHY WAS AGGRESSOR
Connty Attorney Undertakes to Con
vince the Jarora that McGnlgaa
Drew the Knife, Expect
InaT to Do Stabbing.
The Jury In the trial of Thomaa McOulgan,
charged with first degree murder because
he stabbed John Patrick Murphy back of
tbe left ear and In the left side the even
ing of February 2&, brought in a verdict of
guilty of murder in the second degree yes
terday afternoon.
The trial has occupied several days be
fore Judge Estelle In district court and the
argument was begun and finished yesterday
forenoon. Attorney U J. Plattl took the in
itiative for the defense and went over most
of the ground, Attorney C. W. Brltt speak
ing only briefly to emphasise the import
ance of the evidence sustaining the theory
of self-defense. Mr. Plattl worked on the
theory that Murphy was the aggressor all
through the proceeding; that McOulgan
did not leave the saloon while Murphy was
daring him' to come, but rem al nd several
minutes until he may have assumed, as
one of the witnesses said be himself had
assumed, that Murphy was gone from out
side the building.
Says McOalias Is In Dancer.
Counsel argued also tbat the testimony
of the state's witnesses Indicated that when
McOulgan - left tbe saloon be left quietly
and leisurely; that when be got outside and
near the adjoining livery stable Murphy
essayed another atta?k such as be had
started to make twice-Inside the saloon;
and finally that if Murphy and McGulgan
were fighting up against a wagon and
Murphy's back turned toward the passersby,
as testified, McOulgan muBt have been tbe
one who was in the haxardous position and
"getting the worst of it." Counsel urged
the jurors to draw their conclusion from
the state's own .testimony , and consider
what they would have done bad they been
in McQulgan's place. .
Prosecuting; Attorney's Talk.
County Attorney English and Deputy
Burham attacked this line of defense with
vigor, maintaining that a small rent In Mc
Oulgan's shirt collar was about the only
tangible evidence In support of ' the selt
defensa theory. ' Attorney English took the
ground that McOulgan had been angered by
the refusal ot the rest of those In the sa
loon to drink with him and had determined
upon revenge; that be drew a knife from
his pocket while at the bar, deliberately
premeditating attack on Murphy; that he
muttered, "I'll fix him," while at the bar
and that he said again, "I'll get him," as
be went through the door.

KILMER'S
NATURE'S GREATEST
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Matter of Calling Special Election to Vote
Eonds it Disotuted. .
NEW CITY BUILDING IS DECIDED ON
Aathorltles Determine to Snbmlt a
Propoattlon for RO,000 with
Which to Build a City
Hall.
There seems to be some ' doubt about the
advisability of calling a special election
for the voting of bonds given under the
new charter at this time. Members of tbe
council have been talking together and
some have taken legal advice.' While the
new charter provides that the city may
vote bonds to take up Its overlap, the
question arises as to whether this can be
done before August, as the exact amount of
the overlap will not be known until the
close of the fiscal year. It is considered
contrary to law to vote bonds for a debt
which does not exist, therefore it ' is as
serted that the overlap bonds cannot be
voted until some time In August. This
delay merely increases' the amount of In
terest being paid by the city. There seems
to be a desire on the part of city officials
to cut down expenses as much as possible,
snd If It can be done only one special elec
tion, will be held. Complications con
stantly arise. Yesterday It was discov
ered that the lease held by the city on the
present city ball building expires on De
cember 1 of the present year. The legisla
ture has given the people ot South Omaha
the privilege of voting bonds for a city
hall to cost approximately $50,000.
City officials say that while tbe overlap
bonds may not be voted for until August
there is a demand that a special election
for olty ball bonds be called at once In
order that the building may be completed
by the time the present lease expires. In
looking over the lease yesterday tbe mayor
and clerk decided that if the city could
not move Into Its own quarters by December
1 It would lease the present quarters for
a short term. The question of voting bonds
for a city hall only will doubtless be dls
cussed at length at the council meeting to
be held Monday night.
One great trouble about the building of a
city ball will be tbe location of a site. Some
want the city ball erected north of N street
while others say that It should be built
south of N street in order to build up that
portion of the city. An official said last
night that no doubt the council would set
a price to be paid and then advertise for
bids. One site for the proposed, building
Is in 'the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and O
streets and another Is on the vacant prop
erty at Twenty-fifth and O streets. Other
sites suggested are at Twenty-fifth and M
streets and Twenty-fourth and M streets.
There is a vacant lot at Twenty-fourth and
L, streets, but this is considered too far
away from the business center of the city,
Tbe cost of a special electlci will amount
to about $700. Then, If there has to be an
other special election In the fall to take up

hare, st no time, been surprised to learn
of my death. It was all due to kidney
, trouble, for which I could secure no rellof.
I was under the csre of tny family physl
tlan for a number of years, but be wss un
able to do me any good. I also consulted
two noted specialists on kidney diseases,
' but they were uuable to give me more than
temporary relief. I had already made ap
plication to join the army, but was turned
down on account of my bad physical con
dition. "I was advised to try that greatest ot all
remedies SWAMP-ROOT.
"I wrote to Dr. Kilmer A Co., at Ding
hamton, N. T., for a sample bottle, and
its effect upon me was so noticeable that
I went immediately and bought a supply
from my druggist, with the result that in a
comparatively short time I had entirely
recovered and became the man you see
me now.
"I served a number ot yesrs In ths
army, and for the past tour years I hare
been connected with the Philadelphia Fire
Department. My work, both In the army
and fighting fires in Philadelphia, has been
of the most arduous, snd work that I could
not do, did I not have a strong physique.
"t do not know what the words "Kidney
Trouble" mean now, and do not expect to.
I cannot speak too highly of Swamp-Root.
A few bottles of this great remedy did
more for me than, a dosen physicians
could."
