AN IRISH SETTLEMENT?
It seem almost too good to be true.
that after all these weary years the
seemingly perpetual "Irish question" Is
at Jaat to be satisfactorily and finally
settled. Tet for .-uch optimistic pros,
pect we have the authority of Mr.
John Redmond, wjbably the moet au
thoritative and certainly the most ag
gressive and Indominatable of the Irish
leaders. He declares that he expects
soon' to see a measure enacted which
will heal the wounds of centuries, give
; the Irish oeople a chance of living in
peace and prosperity on their own soil.
and In brlfe settle the Irish question.
Simultaneously with this Irish utter
once there appears, as our London cor
respondent reports, a notable article
very much to the same effect In that
ultra -conservative organ, "The Quart'
erly Review," says the New York
Tribune. Evidently there Is, In current
phrase, "something doing." For Innu
merable reasons the world will hope It
will be successful and completely and
lastingly done.
Curlo3ity, however, keens pace with
gratiflcition. What are the expected
. i
terms of the settlement neither Mr.
Redmond nor the Quarterly Review
discloses. There is, however, a hint
of It in Mr. Redmond's speech, towit,
that the basis of settlement is to be
found in the voluntary purchase"
scheme formulated by Lord Dunraven's
commission, of which Mr. Redmond
himself is a member. The British
government is to enable the Irish ten
ant peasantry to become landed pro
prietors. That will, of course, settle the
land question. It will not, says Mr.
Redmond, end the Some rule question.
but It will remove the last obstacle to
"a settlement of it. It that means any
thing, taken in. connection with the
rest of Mr. Redmond's thoughtful and
temperate speech, It means that the
Irish people are to be content with
getting rid of landlordism and securing
complete local Autonomy, and are to
relinquish their dreams of separation
from the empire and of setting upon in
dependent nationality. The latter may
seem startling to those who remember
how strenuously Mr. Pamell Insisted
upon complete secession, declaring that
land reform, home rule and all else
were noting but stepping stones to the
real goal, which must never be lost
sight of nor abandoned namely, the
severing of the last link that bound
Ireland to the British empire and to
' the British crown.
lleyond doubt it was that bold dec
laration of secession which intensified
Briiish opposition to Irish demands,
even at times to demands for reas
onable reforms. Englishmen realized
thut It would be suicidal to permit the
establishment of an independent nation
at the other side of St George's chan
nel, which might ally itself with con
tinental foes and thus compel England
to guard her shores at the west as
well as ut the south and east, and
they naturally set their faces as flint
against everything which was intended
as Mr. Parnell declared to make to
ward that end. With that end aban
doned, and with Ireland willing to re
main a loyal member of the empire,
Englishmen will doubtless be ready to
grant every Just reform, an dto make, j
so far as they can make it. the con
dition of Ireland as prosperous, as in
dependent and as happy as that of any
other part of the United Kingdom.
The question is, Will Ireland be con
tent to foreswear "secession? That Is,
we think, to be answered in the affirm
ative Just as soon as the land ques
tion Is settled on the basis of peasant
proprietorship. There Is nothing more
conservative in its influence than own
ership if land, and therefore of a stake
In the welfare and stability of the
country. The Irish peasant who is a
tenant and Is oppressed by an absen
tee landlord may not unnaturally be a
secessionist and a revolutionist. The
Irish perant who is a land owner will
reulue that the imperial government
means security, stability and economy,
and will therefore become a loyal sup
porter of the empire. If such a set
tlment be Indeed at hand we must pre
pare for both England and Ireland our
choicest and heartiest congratulations. I
It Is somewhat remarkable that
Matthew Quay, after all that has been
charged against htm politically, should
now be found fighting for the rights of
the people. His efforts In the senate
in behalf of the statehood bill are cer
tainly to be commended, and with
fine grace he is whipping into line those
blind partisans who would allow po
litical considernlons to stand between
them and a great duty they owe to the
people of the few remaining territories.
Senator Quy has the situation well in
hand and is In position to force ac
tion on the omnibus statehood bill. He
Is indeed a unique figure in American
lite, and his manly stand at this time
will go far toward restoring him to
public favor.

ploy on expiration of contract, he la no

'Tisn't safe to be a day without Dr.
Thomas' Electric Oil in the house.
Never can tell what moment an accl-
d-nt is fc-oing to happen.
The people of Oregon will await with
inteiest the final dispositon of the bill
which ha parsed theWashlngton house
of representatives requiring city coun
cils to submit to the people
the matter of granting or re
newing franchises to corporations
The measure is a worthy one and one
that might well be enacted by the Ore
gon legislature. The people seldom err
in matters that are left to their de
cision, and, as they are the donors In
such cases, it isonly right that dispo
sition of their possessions should be
left to th-Jm.
The Oregon legislature very properly
voted down a resolution which had for
its object change of the time of the
general elections from June to Novem
ber. That almost every other state
in the jnion holds its elections In No-
veber, wh-jn presidential elections are
held, is no reason that Oregon should
follow suit. A presidential election is
a political battle. We want no politics
in state affairs, and the further the two
elections are separated the better it
will be for the people of Oregon.
