The Irish Church BilI-The Question Nov
with the Lords.

The Irish Church Bnl-The Question Now
with the Lords.
1t is now some days since we were made
aware of the fact that the Irish Disestablish-
ment and Disendowment bill had been fully
discussed in committee Of the House of Com
mons and been endorsed by large majority.
We called attention to the fact at the time
and stated that the bill was now virtually
before the Lords. Some little delay has taken
place in reporting the bill from committee for
the final action of the House. In the Com
mons on Monday evening the bill, almost un-
changed in passing through the House, was
brought up for the third and final reading
After debate, which seems to have been more
tedious than interesting, the bill, in House
more than usually full, was carried by ma
jority of one hundred and fourteen.
It is but on rare occasions that the Com
mons speak with so much emphasis and with so
much unanimity. As we have said before, the
bill is changed In no essential feature. 1t has
passed through the House of Commons in
much the same shape in which it entered it,
In this matter Mr.. Gladstone has had almost
unexampled success. The success is largely
due to Mr.. Gladstone himself. His mastery
Of detail, his clearness of statement his
faculty for disentangling what to most minds
might seem hopelessly involved, have never
been 80 cOnspicuousy revealed. 1t is not to
be denied, however, that the success Is also due
to the unanimity which has characterized the
entire liberal party on this great question of
reform from FIRST to last For the present the
Commons are done with It. Their work is
done and well done. The bill will now with
out delay be brought before the Lords How
will the Lords deal with It This question is
easily answered. Tho Lords like not the BILL
It is felt to be blow at privilege. They may
chafe and fume, but they cannot resist. They
know that Mr.. Gladstone is in earnest; that if
they throw out the bill Mr.. Gladstone has
power enough to send it back unaltered; and
they dread the exercise Of his prerogative in
the matter Of creating as many liberal peers as
shall make their opposition worthless. Earl
Grey finally carried the first Reform bill by
threatening to exercise this prerogative. The
threat in that case was enough. We do not
imagine that in this case the threat will be
necessary. It may, therefore, be taken for
granted that the fate of the Irish Church is
sealed and that an old and irritating Irish
grievance is doomed.

from The present high rate besides the burden
OF taxation. II governs in q great measure
the interest Of money generally and makes it
very dear. Cheap money is the life-glving
stream TO commerce, trade and enterprise.
Dear money causes stagnation TO business and
places country at the mercy of foreign capi-
talists 1t drains to other countries where
money is cheap and abundant all the profits of
industry. Instead of capital being invested in
manufactures. agriculture and improvements
generally 1t is put into government securities
for who will take any risk. or even trouble,
about business when he can get eight or nine
per cent on money put into United States
bonds, which give him no trouble and are ex-
empt from taxation. Then it fosters the Wild
est speculation in Wall street and at other
money centres. 1t is, as we see by daily expe-
rience, an enormous pool for stock gambling,
whereas, If the interest on the debt were low
people of surplus means only would make
permanent investment in it, as they do in the
three per cent consols of England If the
present state of things continues the most fatal
consequences will follow, for the rich will be-
come richer cnd the poor poorer from year to
year. One of the first things, therefore, that
Congress should do is to reorganize the whole
debt at much lower rate Of interest, and thus
to relieve the people of a portion of their bur
dens and to make money cheaper. In the
end this will prove equally as advantageous to
the bondholders as to the public. At any rate
the first consideration in this matter is the well
fare of the community at large.

TIE NEW Posr OEFIoE.-The question In
regard to the change of site for this proposed
edifice has made but little progress for some
time, as the high contracting parties-the
United States and our Common Council-being
such large bodies, necessarily moved slowly.
Now, however, something has been done,
though it is, to be sure, but little. Motion has
been made in the Board of Aldermen to
appoint committee of members of each Board
to confer with the United States Commits
sioaers, and resolution to this effect has been
'1aid over" This is equivalent to the laying

Some weeks ago we announced the fact that
arrange emenls had been made by the Profess
tants OF Germany TO hold grand Congress
at Worms on the 3lst day Of May. We
also stated that it was the object Of the
Congress 10 frame an answer TO the
recent invitation of Plus the Ninth IN
regard 10 the Ecumenical Council. A
cable despatch informs us that the Congress-
was held on the day appointed, that some
twenty thousand persons were present and
that unanimous vote was carried c0ndemna-
tory of the encyclical and of the syllabus.
Protestant Germany thus refuses to go back
to Rome. and it will have nothing TO do with
the Ecumenical Council. This is the second
formal refusal, so far az we remember The
Greek Church had refused before. The Arch
bishop Of Canterbury has not yet given an
swer; neither have the English Independents
nor the Scotch Presbyterians. The Protestant
Churches of America have been equally silent
and inactive. The New School Presbyterian
is we believe the only American Church
which has resolved to give formal reply.
The Greek Church, the German Church and
the New School Presbyterians have at least,
been courteous. This is to their praise. 1t
is manifest now that the Catholic Church will
have the Ecumenical Council to itself, and that
IL will be allowed to remould the world and
the Church according to its own liking II is
some consolation to the Holy Father to know
that he has done what he could to welcome
the Wanderers back to the fold IF thew will
still be prodigal the fault is theirs, not his.
