T THE 3IORMG - OREGOXTAX, TUESDAY, FEBRTTART 8, 191Q. ENGLAND IS DONE WITH PROTECTION free-Trade Verdict Plain Victory of Irish Party, Says O'Connor. in SHAKING OUT HAS HELPED Redmond' Problem Simplified b Elimination of Cranks and Camp. Followers Iabor Gal lery Is Exacting. BT T. P. O'CONNOR, M. P. (Copyright, 1910, by the Tribune Com pany, Chicago.) LONDON'. Feb. 7. Protection in Eng land Is dead. That, at all events. Issues clearly from the results of the general election. In some respects the election has been a disappointment to Liberals and to Irishmen, but, on the other hand, this supreme fact stands out, and that Is a big compensation. The sharply divided lines between the different sec tions of English life were never more clearly drawn than in this great con test. The south of England, that beau tiful, sleepy, feudal land, which you meet from Dover to London, remains inert in Its century-old sluggishness. AV'ithout manufactures, without com merce, -without education, without free dom or any instinct for change, it has reverted to its inherent Toryism and once more crawled under the heel of the parson and the squire. It is no more like the north of England than old Salem Is like Chicago. Sussex Dare Not Tax Yorkshire. In Yorkshire, in Lancashire and in the great iron and coal regions of Scotland and Wales, life is whirring with the same activity as the gigantic mills, and the people are robust, phys ically, mentally and politically. All these portions of the country have not only declared against protection but have done so with even greater strenu ousness than at even the mightly land elide Liberal election of four years ago. It Is quite evident that no ministry rould propose a protective tariff in the ace of such a. verdict for free trade from these portions of the three king doms. Sleepy Sussex dare not tax pro gressive Yorkshire and Lancashire. If any attempt were made, especially if it were accompanied by a tax -on - food, there would undoubtedly be a violent nd perhaps revolutionary outbreak in ill the industrial parts of England that would sweep away the ministry and perhaps a good many other things be fore it was done with. Amid the loss of many hopes, this great triumph for the progressive forces of England stand DUt in bold relief. The situation in the next House of Commons will be extraordinarily inter esting. The Irish party will hold a dominating position more dominating than its wiser heads altogether relish. Often It will be In their power to keep In or to put out the ministry. There is something fascinating, no doubt, in having such omnipotence, especially when one remembers all that Ireland has suffered under majorities of both Kngllsh parties. But it is more fas cinating than safe. There is always a certain dislike of all governments in Ireland, and the crank, who plays his usual part in Irish as in other politics, for ome inscrut able reason dislikes the Liberal more than the Tory. The Liberal tries to do everything conditions will allow him to rlo for Ireland, and as the Tory has no policy for Ireland but a blank, bitter refusal of home rule. I find it diffi cult to understand this state of mind, hut It exists. I have little doubt, then, that a number of Ignorant and un thinking people will always be shout ing out to the Irish party to put out the government. Extremists Will Shout. This shout will begin the moment the new House of Commons comes into be ing. The first business of the govern ment will be to pass the budget. The budget has been denounced in Ireland by luctlonlsts and cranks, by William O'Hrien and Tim Healy, as blasting Ireland with an addition of two million sterling a year. The statement is, of course, a lie; but it is the kind of lies tome Irish people readily swallow. An attempt will be made to bustle Red- Mond and his party into opposing the budget and defeating the government, r don't think Redmond has the least In tention of yielding to this pressure. It would mean that the campaign against the House of Lords would come to an Immediate and ignominious end, and that in this way the hopes of Ire land once more would be blighted. But, of course, O'Brien and Healy will speak to the gallery and denounce the Lib eral government and the Irish party; and the Sinn Felners and all the other senseless factions will join In the cry. However, these peoplo are of no im portance, and they are less important now than they ever were. Redmond, indeed, comes out of this election with enormously increased power and pres tige. He said himself at the beginning of the general election that he would sooner have his followers reduced to 70 loyal men than to have the old dis united ranks numbering 82. His party will be nearer SO than 70. and it -will be a united party. One of the scandals and the weaknesses of a party which had within its ranks O'BrJenites and Healyites was that no meeting of the party was to be regarded as pri vate. Ttw worst enemies of the Irish party in the press of Kngland or Ire land could get as good an account of what took place at the secret conclaves of the Irish party as though they had a reporter present. O'Brlenltes- Pay Stopped. There was another and more exasper ating fact. The very men who under the leadership of O'Brien were doing their best to destroy and bankrupt the Irish party were the tirst to come with their demand upon its funds. Kvery month they clamored for their checks Just like any loyal member of the party: and they clamored Just as loudly when they returned to London after a cam paign against the Irish party on the platform or newspaper offices in Ire land. That state of things comes to uxi end with this election. Not a single follower of O'Brien or Healy- will be admitted to the Irish party; not a single one of them will get a shilling of the Parliamentary funds. They will have to fall back on the checkbook of Mr. O'Brien. That checkbook Is fairly bulky, but this demand upon It will be rather more than Mr. O'Brien will relish. Therefore, though it is disap pointing that either Mr. O'Brien or Mr. Healy was gain rettirned to Parlia ment, it Is some satisfaction to know that faction has received a deadly blow and that there will be one united party, with few camp followers making trou ble la the rear. The Irish party, then, may be relied fa to at&nd by the Liberals in the cam paign against the House of Lords. But will the Labor element be so reliable? It will not number so largely In the new as In the old House of Commons; but still it will be a decisive factor, able at certain moments to destroy the government." The Labor members are of different types. Some are reasonable men and good Liberals, well realizing the fact that they can get more from the Liberals than from such inveterate enemies aa the Tories. They can be relied on to help In the struggle against the Lords and to remain with the Lib eral party at least till that bit of work Is done. But there is another section. One of the wildest of that section, Mr. Victor Grayson, has been defeated, and that makes for good sense and union between Liberalism and Labor. But Keir Hardie is rather fanatical, and he has made it his mission . to break up the Liberal party and substitute for it a Socialist party. But this project Is rather hopeless, and he may be over borne by the more rational leaders of the Labor party. Still, even the most rational Labor leader has his diffi culties. They, have their gallery Just as the other parties have, and their gallery is rather exacting ami irra tional. This gallery may force their hand when the government has to re fuse some Irrational proposal of theirs. PETE SHOCKS BRONX ZOO FLIRTATIONS OF MKS. MUR PHY'S LITTLE BOY SURPRISES. 'Twas Something Awful the Way He Carried on With Certain Jun gle Ladies. NEW YcVRK, Feb. 7. There Is a sure day of reckoning coming for old Mrs. Murphy's little boy, Pete, at the Bronx Zoo. He is the hippopotamus who was born a few years ago to the old lady of the same family in Central Park who has been dear to the hearts of generations of little chil dren. If the old lady ever finds out how little Pete has been cutting up at the Bronx Park it is expected by those who know her love of respectability that she will smash down a few lengths of her cage fence and waddle up to the Bronx to chastise the young rascal. The truth is that Pete is an awful flirt. He's been wrecking family hap piness ever since he's been up there. First it was old Mr. Giraffe who no ticed his young wife making eyes at the stout young Mr. Pete, and now It is Gunda, the big elephant, " who is Jealous. When Pete was a small hippo he was put into a cage with a tank in the oid antelope house. Next door was the cage of the giraffes with a yard in the rear. Young Pete would stand by the hour winking and blinking up at the high wall of the Giraffe family house, and young Mrs. Giraffe, of the long neck and soft velvety eyes, would stretch her neck over the fence and look down fondly upon him. It got to be such a scandal that even the mon key folk over in the primates' house got to gossipingabout it. Then the keepers put up a high wall that Mrs. Giraffe couldn't see over, but as this didn't prevent their seeing each othe.' through the yard fence, they moved young Pete out of the house when the new elephant house was finished and put in a big cage with a tank where he could swim. Everything went well till the young Lothario began to get tired of his cage and to long for excitement. Then came Alice, the Indian girl elephant, from Coney Island, to be wedded to Gunda, the old hero of the Bronx chil dren. Gunda's cage is In the south west end of the big elephant house and Alice's cage is in the southeast corner. Across from her in the north east corner is Pete's cage. It didn't take Pete long to attract the attention of the handsome Alice, or Luna, as she was called at Coney. He just sat down and looked mourn ful and lonely and now and then let one of those tears for which hippos are famous trickle, like a brook, from the corner of his bulging eye,, and it was all up with Alice. She threw him trunkfuls of sympathy, which would have been all right if Gunda hadn't noticed that whenever Pete went splashing into his pool and stayed un der water Alice got nervous and trumpeted her anxiety. Her concern for Pete, at whom she could cast eyes, and her disregard for her lord and master, whose cage she couldn't see, made Gunda jealous, and now the air of the elephant house is charged with scandal and even the ostriches are giggling and talking about it. DUCK EATS YEAST; GONE Strange Accident to Prize Fowl De stroys Man's Sight. DE3 MOINES, la., Feb. 7. The strangest accident recorded In local history occurred when Rhadamanthus. a duck which had taken prizes at the recent Iowa poultry show, exploded into several hundred pieces, one of which struck Silas Perkins in the eye, destroying the sight. The cause of the explosion was the eating of yeast placed in a pan upon the back porch, which tempted his duckship, who was taking a morning stroll. When Mr. Perkins discovered his prize duck it was in a somewhat "logy" condition. Telltale marks around the pan of yeast gave him hie clew. He was about te pick up the bird when the latter exploded with a loud report, and Mr. PerRins .ran into the house holding both hands over one eye. A surgeon was called, who found that the eyeball had been penetrated by a fragment of flying duck, and gave' no hope of saving the optic. Mr. Perkins advises that if ducks and yeast are to be kept on the same prem ises, they should be kept as far apart as possiDie. REDS .

UNSANITARY LIFE CHARGED Conditions Prevailing in Western Section Are Not Duplicated In .East, Where Material Prog ress Has Been Made. BERLIN, Feb. 7. (Special.) The latest steamers returning to Germany from Brazil have brought back a large number of Germans who were engaged as workmen on the Madeira-Mamore Railway in the extreme west of Brazil. About 500 laborers went there on a year's engagement, only to find the con ditions intolerable. The commissariat and sanitary conditions on the railway were so bad that many of the men fell sick, and 12 or 15 died. The remainder have thrown up their work and have had to be brought home at the cost of the Imperial Government. They are said to be preparing to bring action against the railway company for breach of contract. Warning Is Sent Out. The Imperial Government, It appears, was asked to co-operate In sending out the men in the first instance, but de clined. Meanwhile, reports had been received from Brazil that the district, on the Upper Amazon, where the work was" to be carried out, was exceedingly unhealthy, and a warning was issued to persons contemplating proceeding thither, though as there was no ques tion of permanent emigration- the Foreign Office could not prevent their shipment. A further warning to Germans is now issued, from the point of view of Imperial economy, against accepting work in Brazil without the previous consent of the German government. Road Develops Territory. A more cheerful report comes from the Blumenau-Hammonla Railway, In the east of Brazil, which has been built with German capital, amounting at present to about $1,625,000, and of whicl S8 kilometers will shortly be opened for traffic. Various industrial undertakings are springing up as a re sult, and a considerable rise in the price of land has already occurred. The railway suffers at present from the fact that It has no connection with the sea. but negotiations are in pro gress with the Brazilian government for a subvention of 750,000 to be paid if the railway is extended, in the one direction from Blumemau to the sea at Itajahy Harbor, and In the other to the Inland concessions of the German company at Itajahy. For this purpose a further loan expenditure of $2,000,000 will be required. LAD'S WIT CAUSES ARREST Seeing Strange Man Enter House Youth Telepliones Police. CHICAGO, Feb. 7. Samuel Cow ell, who is 13 years old and lives at 2 Cannonbury Road, Jamaica, saw a man jimmy his way into the cellar of the house owned by Dr. Herman Betz. which Is opposite his own home, and he promptly called up Police Headquar ters in Queens and told what he had seen. Lieutenant Leary of the Jamaica sta tion dispatched Patrolmen McCabe and Pechin to investigate. They had to crawl through a window in order to get into the house. They found the Intruder in the attic, hiding behind a screen. When Dr. Betz returned home he found that several articles of value had been laid out, apparently with the in tention of being taken away. He said that the man stopped him just as he left the house and asked him for a street direction. The prisoner said he was Frank Schmidt, a printer; and added that he had no home. PUSH-BUTTON IS LATEST Buried Man Can Ring for Exhumer Through Electricity. CHICAGO. Feb. 7. At the coming electrical show an inventor will show a device which he says will rob the grave of living victims. "I believe," says the inventor, "that there are thousands of men, women and children buried alive in our cemeteries every year. My plan is to connect every grave with an electric wire running to e. signal station in the office of the ceme tery, a push button being adjusted Inside the casket near the hand of the corpse. which, upon awakening from the death like trance, could announce his or her predicament. I am confident that this plan will save thousands of lives, but I have not money enough to incorporate my company, which is to be known as the Graveyard Life Detection Company." Another inventor has a device for catching and killing rats by electricity. The rat practically announces its own death, en electric signal operating when it reaches the death chamber.

Xow you must know that the Phila delphia Assembly defines your position in fashionable society as nothing else can. You .may have ever so good a time, you may attend all sorts of charming -entertainments, you may give, and have given for you, functions of the loveliest type, but unless there comes to your door some cold Winter day a dainty bit of pasteboard that bids you come and be merry with the fashionably ele, all else is as gall and wormwood to your taste. Tou have not "arrived." And the worst of it all is that there is no help for it. It is just like being a Mason "once a Mason always a Mason"; once an Assembly ite, always an Assemblyite. and Just as positively, un less you have once been an Assembly member, you can never hope to be. It was all decided years ago, long be fore you or your mother and father were born. Then it was that some gay young men of this, then young and un sophisticated, city got together in a friendly sort of way as if they had nothing at all on their minds, and said one to the other, "Let's have a balL" And then one mean member of the group, for even in those days there were those with skimpy dispositions, said "Let's never have any one at all to come to these parties but just us, and our children, and their children, and their children's children. And we won't ask out next door neighbors, and there won't be anybody there but just ourselves, not never, no how." Except once. Once upon a time, about five years ago, there came over the fashionable horizon, some families1 who thought their blood to the naked eye looked every bit as darkly, deeply blue as those whose grandpapas minueted many moons ago. However they impressed the descendants of tlie white wigged dancers of the mean dispositions will never be known to any but themselves, but all the same, when nobody was looking, they got the coveted invitations, had their names put down on the list, and have been going ever since.
