Home nnln Compromises.
It waa a thankless task which Premier
Asquitli performed when, on Monday
evening, he Introduced tho government's
proposals for a compromise on tho Irish
i homo rule bill. Not a word of welcome
was uttered. Tho most ardent ot the gov
ernment's supporters all along havo re
garded a compromise with disfavor, and
maintained silence when tho scheme was
laid beforo tho House of Common. The
compromise amounts to this that any '
county ln tho province of Ulster may by j
a majority vote, when home rule becomes
operative, taka Itself out ot the union for
a period ot six years. At tho end of that
period tho county excluding itself auto
matically returns to the fold. Bonar Law,
leader of the unionist Party, denounced
tho compromise as Impossible and de
manded the dissolution of Parliament and
an appeal to the country on the homo
rulo Issue. Sir Edwnrd Carson, for tho
Ulstcrltes, branded tho scheme as "a
sentenco of death with a stay of execu
tion," Tho sentiment of the Irish na
tionalists, ns expressed by John E. Red
mond, was that of men whose forbear
ance was being stretched to the limit. Ap
parently tho proposed compromise Is with
out an enthusiastic friend ln tho com
mons. Discussion of tho subject. It Is
announced, has been deferred for two
weeks, during which tlmo there may bo
developments moro favorable to a com
promise than at present appears. It
should bo remembered, however, that no
amendment to tho Homo rule bill Is pos
sible under the law unless accepted by
both houses of Parliament. The approval
of tho Houso of Lords Is nccesitarv in
effect any change ln tho text of tho bl)l
ns It passed tho commons on two previous
occasions.

Cabinet Chmiar In iir.
The forced resignation of thw nioiitti
cabinet In Itnly Is ottrlbuted primarily
io mo ncavy cost and disappointing re
sults of tho war which gave tho nation
possession of Tripoli, renamed Libya.
Tho general election last January, under
uie enlarged franchise, resulted In what
was regarded as a distinct vote of con
fldenco In the ministry. This was re
flected when tho popular chamber was
organised with a strong majority sup.
porting tho government In Italy, as In
other European nations, ministries baaed

tain tenure of life. Counter currents of
popular feeling arise In unexpected ways
and lawmakers quickly respond to the
change. A few weeks ago tho Glollttl
ministry appeared securely confident ot
writing Its policies Into the legislation of
tho session. Suddenly a party division
switched from tho ministry to tho oppo
sition, forcing the ministry out of office.
To tho disappointment over the results
of tho War Is the added discontent over
the rising cost of living, decreased em
ployment and labor strikes. Unrest ln
Italy Is widespread, and privation, com
mon enough In normal times, Is now In
tensified by tho burden of war cost oh
top of soaring prices for food and shelter.
Rule of the Sabre.
The Gorman nelchstag bows to tho will
of tho government, nnd all the bother
about checking- the arrogance of militar
ism goes Into tho limbo of the chamber.
Tho committee appointed to consider
ways and means of vindicating civil over
military law, and prevent a recurrence
of such events as scandalized the army
at Zabern, finding that It could not pro
duce results without amending the con
stitution, to which the government would
not consent, was forced to dissolve and
the Reichstag acquiesced. Tha Indigna
tion of the members, as expressed in a
voto of cenBure and ln resolutions,
petered out when challenged by a minis
try which Is not responsible to the cham
ber. Moreover, thero nre five parties
whjch count In the chamber and six which
try to, each with different axes to grind.
Knowing the wants ot each, a diplomatic
ministry readily grants favors In non
essentials, and thus obtains the needful
majority vote for essentials. Until there
is greater political unity In Germany and
petty questions are subordinated to the
vital problem of civic supremacy, the
ascendancy of militarism cannot be chal
lenged successfully.
Mortality Auiouir Cardinals.
The recent death ot Cardinal Kopf ot
Germany makes a total ot four doaths
of members ot the college ot cardinals
within as many months, and leaves that
body sixteen short of tho maximum
number of seventy. Tho death rate
among cardinals Is necessarily heavy
because few ecclesiastics under three
score years attain that dignity. Eight
cardinals are octogenarians, seventeen
septuagenarians, twenty-one sexagena
rians and only eight under W years, the
youngest member being Cardinal Merry
del Val, secretary of elate, 48. Out of
the forty-five cardinals who died In the
last ten years only five had been created
by the present pope, thirty-nine by Pius
XIII and one by Plus IX. Pius X has
created thirty-seven cardinals during his
pontificate and all but five aro living.
As regards nationality the saored col
'lege now consists of twenty-eight
Italians and twenty-atx foreigners, whloh
affords material for speculation on the
probability of a foreigner reaching the
papal throne. The likelihood of a con
slstory about Easter la talked ot by
correspondents at Borne, but no one out
side ot the Vatican knows when tho
next distribution ot red hats will take
place or whose heads they will reach.

OMAHA, March 15.-TO the Kdltor of
The Beo: 'The poor ye have with ye al
wa)s" waa said ln the long ago, and there
are evidences today that tho author ot
such words was not guessing. It re
mains for tho people of tho present time
to solve tho great question to ameliorate
a condition that has existed from man
kind s earliest recollection. There Is a
movement on foot called socialism that
has a remedy before tho peoplo offering
a solution, but up to tho present time
has failed to find adoption by the general
public.
Politics and disagreements on funda
mental principles may cut somo figure
here. To accomplish a desired end mo
tives should first bo considered and what
we accomplish by such help. To be
thoughtful and helpful human sympathy
Is first attracted. A "hand out" or a
coin of tho realm presented to those seek
Ing aid is commendable, but not always
tho wisest courao to pursue. Often tho
career ot tho mandlcant Is started and
such old might bo likened unto "bread
cast upon tho waters" with a permissible
distinction and difference, as well. To use
street language, this might bo compared
to getting tho cart bofore tho horse," and
every school boy knows he can pull better
than push.
Arriving at a proper conclusion, wo can
uso both terms tho "pull" and the
"push," We really want to assist. Inves

paper I was surprised about what was

It shows ln the paper that Mr. Beadles
djd all ho could to keep Mr. Walters
ollvo when the only thing he did was
(after Mr. Walters was all right again) to
give him two Injections. Wo asked the
police to mention no names ln the papers,
but that's no reason to tell such lies
(I suppose you get your Information from
the police station). In short tho case hap
pened as follows:
Tho landlady came upstairs to light a
lamp In tho hall.
Sho smelted gas.
She called Mr. S., "Thero Is something
wrong with the gas, and I can't open tho
room."
Mr. S. ran upstairs arid kicked the door
open and found Mr. Walters with the
hose connected with the gas Jet In his
mouth on tho bed unconscious. Know
ing by experience what to do ln such a
caso ho shut oft the gas, opened tho win
dow and brought right away the patient
with his head on the outside of tho win
dow and started the artificial breathing
method on him, and it Is alonb to tho
quick action of Mr. 8.; assisted by Mr.
Miller that Mr. Walters Is alive, because
when tho police surgeon came ho was
all right again.

COUNTRY LONGINGS.
Minneapolis Journal.
Are you longing for the country
Whore high living is a dream,
Whoro tho hogs aro growing bacon
And tho cows aro giving cream;
Whero tho steers aro growing sirloin,
And the chickens want to lay,
Whero the clarion of the rooster
Wakes you up at break of day? j
Are you longing for tho country )
Whero the fleecy clouds In Jun I
Float across tho bluo horizon.
And all nature seems In tuna:
Whero tho downy fledglings chirrup,
As they poop between tho leaves,
And the swallow twitters blithely
From Its nest beneath the caves?
Am' you longing for the country
Where the pleasant woods nro green?
Aro you longing for tho beauty '
Of some quiet sylvan scene,
Whoro the alternating shadows
Play between the dropping boughs.
And tho rustling leaves make music
As the gentle zephyrs blow?
To mako tho change, oh, city dweller.
Stay homo nights and save your pelf.

Throw your cigarettes away.

And your hair too soon is gray,
Man alive! get to tho country,
Reach It quick, cio you decay.
