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. e ffi o eest 3 r n UPOfy A southern paper says it cannot help thinking that Champ Clark s favorite vehicle is tho sulky.

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 on party coalitions have n vrv nnur. 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. Helping; the Helpless. 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.

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. The police force and surgeon came about forty minutes after thoy were called. This Is the truth and noth ing else.
