"The stolrmy March is come at last.
With wind, and cloud, and changing
skies/*
March is from the Latin and French
word martlus, belonging to Mars, the
god of war—hento tempestuous, violent,
rough. Authorities tell us that March
was the first month in the early Ro
man calendar, and It also marked the
commencement of the year among
some of the Latin Christian nations
till the eighteenth century. The Eng
lish legal year began Murch 2a until
the change of style in 1752. There Is
nn old English and Scottish proverb:
"March borrows three days of April,
and they are 111.”
"The first, it shall be wln-d and weet:
The next. It shall be snaw and sleet;
The third, it shall be sic a freeze,
Sail gar the birds stick to the trees.”
It is disputed whether these "bor
rowing days” were the last' three In
March or the first three in April. Dr.
Jamieson explains that when they were
stormy March was said to borrow them
from April that ho might extend his
power so much longer.
March is a month of more or less
importance. It is the first month of
spring. The vernal equlvox comes on

One hundred and twenty-nine years
ago. in 1773, Robert Emmet was born
in Dublin, and on September 20. 1803
he was hanged in the same city, being
only 25 years old. He attended Trini
ty College, where he gained high hon
ors. but was expelled for declarin
himself a Republican. Emmet was as
eloquent as he was dauntless and pa
triotic. lie joined the association of
United Irishmen, whose object was to
separate Ireland from Great Britain
and to establish an independent re
public. He was connected with the
unsuccessful rebellion of 179S. escap
ed to France, and went to Switzer
land. In 1S02 he returned secretly to
Dublin, reorganized his forces, for an
other blow In behalf of the freedom of
Ireland, and fixed upon July 23, 1803,
as the time to seize the castles and
arsenals of Dublin. On the evening if
that day there was a disturbance, in
to state the rights of the colonists an
address was issued, and in March, 1773, ,
definite measures were undertaken for which Chief Justice Kilwarden, who

At his trial Emmet defended his
own cause, delivering an address to
the judge and jury of remarkable elo
quence and pathos, met his fate with
courage, and won general admiration
for the purity and loftiness of his
motives. Lord Norbury pronounced
sentence of death upon Emmet, and
he was executed the following day in
Thomas street, near the place on
which he had established the revolu
tionary depot of arms and ammuni
tion. It is further recorded, that
when he was removed to Newgate,
after his trial, he authorized a gentle
man to announce to the Government,
as his own declaration, that he was
the chief mover and instigator of the
insurrection, and out of the sum of
$12,500. which he had received on the
death of his father, he had expended
no less than $7,000 In the preparatory
outlay.

from those principles of morality and'
patriotism which It was your care to
instil into my youthful mind, and for
which I am now to offer up my life.
My lords, you seem impatient for the
sacrifice: the blood for which you
thirst is not congealed by the artificial
terrors which surround your victim;
It circules • warmly and unruffled
through the channels which God cre
ated for nobier purposes, but which you
are bent to destroy for purposes so
grievous that they cry to Heaven. Be
ye patient! I have but a few words
more to say. I am going to my cold
and silent grave: my lamp of life is
nearly extinguished; my race is run;
the grave opens to receive me, and I
sink into its bosom. I have but one
request to ask at my departure from
this world—it is the charity of its si
lence. Let no man write my epitaph,
for as no man who knows m’y motives
dares now vindicate them, let not prej
udice or ignorance asperse them. .Let
them and me repose in obscurity, and
my tomb Remain unlnscrlbed..until oth

This was admitted. Now. the value
of land, as of every other investment,
is determined wholly by the income.
The great impoverishment of the South
was due wholly to the complete dis
organization of the labor as a neces
sary consequence of the sudden change.
"Looking back now from the stand
point of 1901. my contention is entire
ly justified. Wherever the labor is
reliable and the management judicious
the land makes as much now as it ever
did in slave times, and, therefore, the
owner is as rich as he ever was. He
has suffered no loss.”

The following is an interesting de
scription of the parting interview of
Sarah Curran with Robert Emmet:
"The evening before his death, while
the workmen were busy with the scaf
fold. a young lady was ushered into
his dungeon. It was the girl whom he
so fondly loved, and who had now come
to bid him her eternal farewell. He
was leaning, in a melancholy mood,
against the window frame of his pris
on and the heavy clanking of h's irons
smote dismally on her heart. The in
terview was bitterly affecting, and
melted even the callous soul of the
jailor. As for Emmet, he wept and
spoke little: but. as he pressed his be
loved in silence to his bosom, his coun
tenance betrayed his emotions. In
that there is not In the sense of the

as such publications make it so them

problem that confronts us is the treat
ment of the negro from a civil and
Indus*’-''’ -nidroint. and that tho
common sense of our people will
have to solve this problem as each
case presents itself fbr treatment. Mr.
Steed expressed it as his belief that
the continued discussion in news
papers and various periodicals, and.
from the forum of the so-called race
question by theorists, doctrinarles and
politicians, does not and will never
solve anything, but only augments and
•gravates the evil, and especially
the labor conditions :on the farms—
hlch are serious enough.. “But,”
said Mr. Steed with emphasis, "this is
no race question! The men who cul
tivate the soil, and do things are the
ones who will finally meet these con-,
ditlons.”
Funny! Just as soon as the salary
of the United States Senators was in
creased $2,500 a year, John C. Spooner
tendered his resignation as a Senator
from Wisconsin. He has been hold

however, the full vote of the Republi

Senator for the term beginning March

In a communication to the Republi

Spooner announced his ' unalterable
