The House of Com mons bill proposing an Irish council with varied administrative but no legislative powers was a long step to ward home rule Iulte as -011" 83 tne Liberal party could afford to take at this time. Anything more advanced would certainly have been thrown out by the House of Lords, and an appeal to the electorate could not be risked. As far as It went, the bill was a good thing from the mere home rule standpoint; In fact, Its repudia tion by the Nationalist leaders seem? attributable to the presence in It of too much home rule of a certain sort. The New . York Evening Post can ex plain John Redmond's change of front only in1 this wise: -: -V ,1: "What had happened to make this leader' turn tall? Why the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland had pronounced vio lently against the plan for an Irish coun cil, and, of course, it Is still true that tne pnestnooa controls me insn waiion alist party. Father Humphreys made clear In the convention the ground of Church opposition. The bin, ne saia, "would drive the priests out of the schools, and let In the devil. Yet all that was proposed was the absolute control of public education by the Irish council, two-thirds of the membership of which were to be elective. Could not the priests trust their own people? And if they would not surrender control of the schools to a national council, what becomes of their pretended lonsing for a national Parlia ment in charge of public education? Their course at this Juncture gives new and unpleasant force to the charge that the Catholic Church in Ireland to better E leased to make arrangements with the inglish Tories, leaving It supreme in Irish education, than to work heartily with th Liberals for real Irish self government" In other words, the Irish Catholic Church did not wish the secularizing of Irish education to become even a remote possibility. Upon the main auestion of home rule the Irish Na tionalists have had to ally themselves with the English Liberals (Non-con formists) but their natural affinity is undoubtedly for the English Conserva tives (Anglicans). The Liberals, who have a majority In the House of Com mons, Independent of the Irish, are now expected to drop the whole sub ject of home rule for the present.

The Wilmington Star says it has re ceived a new book of 284 pages in which the author, William Henry Hoyt, k. M undertakes to prove that there was no Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Prof. Hoyt argues that what miroorts to be the Mecklen burg declaration was the outgrowth of a series of resolves by the Mecklen burg patriots, which "were transfig ured by the imperfect understanding and recollection of many persons into such a declaration." Fanatics have, In time past, tried to prove that Shakes peare was not the author of his plays, that Homer never wrote the Odyssey and that Jesus Christ was an imposter.

If one chose to stroll a tout, after the lamps ceased to twinkle in the farmers' dining room windows, that is, after the folks had finished supper, one found all the solitude a hermit could desire, or a fugitive. The folks had gone to bed and to sleep, tired out The humid moonlight -was itself hot; It seemed to lie like a fever on the ' clearings and still woods. Once there leapt a flash of lightning across the north, so. far away that the thunder never came. There was no hope of the sound of summer raindrops striking through the thirsty leaves and pattering the dust into fragrance. The silence was so strained you would have wanted to shout or discharge a gun to wake the dogs and make the geese gabble. If, indeed, you had had your sweetheart along, you might have remembered how the poet salth, "Heard strains are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter," and would have gloried jn the stillness and veiled light. But it was not the season for lonely wan dering. I never knew before the full Intensity of Slldaa' feeling, when ne leaned from his window In the sum mer night and sighed,' "Marpessa, O Marpessa!" : But time must- be empipyea or braved out .The best thing at hand was to spread a pallet on the upstairs norch and woo sleep.. Now. sleep Is as scared of a. mosquito as a maiden of a mouse, and Just when, she had been lured almost within reach mat malarial Insect winded his thrilling horn and sleep flew. One "lonesome bug" on the lawn blew his single note like a fairy-child's trumpet, pausing briefly now and then, as If to spit on bjs hands and catch breath. By and by several crickets thought they'd express themselves, since It was such a good chafice to take the flo6r without having been recognized. A flying-squirrel struck himself Into some thick leaves to the right, squeak ed, frisked, and shook down a little shower of mulberries. A mocking bird In the orchard startled out a few notes. Way off to the west i heard a bullbat foaming, and I lay there listening and trying to contrive a word that would imitate the bullbat's note. That's good vocal exercise; you try It next time you hear one. There is a lady who declares that If she happens to wake in the night she can tell very closely where the clock hands are, Judging by the noises she hears. Perhaps ' most nignt- watchmen, were they not required to rely upon mechanical timepieces, would share that lady's power. Whether a barking dog wakes the rooster, the rooster the gander, and bo on. or whether the thing is spon taneous, there Is no telling. But it is true that the roosters cry across coun try to one another, the geese cackle, the cow Jangles her hell, the owl hoots and laughs, the kllldee twitters, and the flees bark, all in chorus; then as suddenly the wave of sound ceases and silence closes in. ; One of these waklngr moments fell between mldnigrht and one. Its in fluence extended to a nigger, whose axe rang out immediately after, at the back side of the Held where he lives; ha was fixing to mend his fire. It seemed to extend also to the atmos nhere.

Of this, only about 1 acre in every 15 was given to cotton In 1906.

Of the total production shown in the table, about 230,000 bales are consumed locally ln the homes of the people, and do not enter commercial channels. EGYPT , IN THIRD , RANK. Measured by the factory supply. Egypt ranks third as a cotton grow ing country. This country possesses several natural advantages for cotton growing. Its climate Is favorable, the warm season beginning early, so that the young plants are not1 subject to damage ,from frost, as sometimes Is the casein America and 4the grow ing period is long, thus giving the plant full opportunity to mature. The gathering of the crop is not inter feedlth by storms and rainfall, and there is ho loss or damage to the fibre from these, causes. Egyptian cotton fibres are characterized by length, strength ' and uniformity,, showing equality of growth. Egypt is practi cally a rainless country, and agricul ture Is entirely dependent upon irriga tion. The cotton area for 1906 Is esti mated at 1,850,000 acres, and the pro duction at 1,400,000 bales of 600 pounds each. This - comparatively large yield is attributed chiefly to fav orable ; weather ' conditions. Ixrd Cromer, on the Finance, Administra tion and Condition of Egypt and the Sudan in 1906, said: "In order to as certain to what extent the cotton bear ing area is susceptible of expansion. I assume that the whole of the basin lands in the northern half of upper Egypt will be brought under peren nial irrigation, and that the unculti vated portions tn both upper and low er Egypt will ultimately be reclaimed. The cotton hearing area will then ex tend over some 5,000,000 acres. On the basis of a 40 per cent, acreage per annum and a yield of 446 pounds per acre, this area might produce an annual cotton crop of about 1, 981,000 naies or 500 pounds each." The population of Egypt proper Is not far from 10.000.000 and to. sua tain this number of people .and pro vide for Its normal Increase It does not appear possible to make material additions to the acreage annually de voted to cotton except through im provementa which at best will require form 10 to 15 years to complete. In deed. It appears that food crops are now being encroached upon to a dan geroua extents - . PRODUCTION IN TMTIA, CHINA THE RANDOjjpH COURTHOUSE.
