The Republicans of this State have on- ly to do their usual work to carry the State in November. Should the Liberals, on the other hand, gain Connecticut for Greeley, it will be very apt not only to carry in Democratic Governor, but g Democratic Legislature, next spring. Let every Republican elector, then, poll his own vote and see that his Republican neighbor does likewise. .e4-a.-
 Although Liberal Republicanism is a failure in the nation, we must not shut our eyes to the fact that it may be suc- cess in this State. The two parties are so evenly balanced that the change of very few votes changes the result. No doubt we shall gain even more from the luke- warmness of the Democracy than did the Republicans ofthe September and October states, where it fully counterbalanced Re- publican losses from the Greeley defec- ton. But we must not forget that in North Carolina, Vermont, Maine, Penn sylvania. Ohio and Indiana, Republican successes have been won by hard Repub- ican work. - Es5t 5a
 Success is within easy reach; and, not only is failure unnecessary, but failure, this fall, means permanent Democratic hereafter. r ,.s. 5.. flt j.

IRELAND AND Mk. FRounE.

MT. Froude, the historian, has under taken novel task in his course sof lee lures begun at New York, last week. This
 is no less than to convince the American citizen that the original conquest of Ire- land by England, and it's subsequent gov ernment of that country were, if not alto gether justifable, at least no such in- justifable oppression as Americans have been in the habit of supposing. When conquered by the Normans and when re- conquered by the Tudors, the Irish, says MT. Froude, were mere tribes of savages, to whom conquest brought whatever of civilization they have since enjoyed Af- ter generation of quiet and prosperity, during which the population of Ireland had nearly doubled, terrible rebellion broke out simultaneously with the Eng fish civil war, and for ten years the Irish had it all their own way in Ireland. , In that time the populationw was decreased one third by famine, hardships and 1nassa- ere. Then came Cromwell, who, with an army of Is, 900 men, and in the course of a year, completely subdued inc rebel lious hordes in arms all over Ireland, numbering not less than 200, 900 mem 7.a
 The later, history of the country MT.
 Froude has not yet reached, Still the course of his argument is plain enough: England's conquest of Ireland was con- quest of order over anarchy. The people of that country have never constituted, and could not even now constitute a na- tion. The withdrawal of English author ity would be followed bya civil war be- tween the Protestant and the Catholic, the Saxon and the Celtl j. But, asA MT. Froude frankly confesses,, England will never withdraw, until beaten off the ocean by superior force.9aH2Ha' 9:!i s5 U 3Ha'
 That a rule that has driven half of Ireland into exile is wise or just Mir. Froude will not easily make the American citizen believe. r We doubt whether he will attempt to justify past errors. What he will probably try to show will be that the British parliament does now, and will hereafter, deal equally between all its sub- iects, Catholic or Protestant, Saxon or Celtic. We doubt whether that policy is not too late. True enough the English man brought order to Ireland, but his or der was of the kind that springs from slav- cry, not from freedom, The fairest laws in the Nineteenth Century will not undo the unfaifness of previous centuries. The Catholic Celt is too poor and too ignorant to rise in a country where land is SO dear and labor so cheap as in Ireland. .Ameri- ca gives him: e. chance which the best British government in the world could not offer him. ,laa yhgo .ga!lAu, eft s4sr
 # We are very glad, however, that the English side of the Irish question is to be presented in the land of Bumcombe and of Fenianism; and the plucky effort Mr.
 Frotlde is making in what, during MT. Tweed's reign, was termed "New Dublin, '' is having at least an attentive hearing.

The Hartford Courant states that since the dissolution of the voluntary fire com panies in that city the number offres has greatly decreased Recent fires in Meri- den have been proved to be the work of a voluntary fire company. The Courant makes the following estimate of the in fuence of the voluntary system upon in-: cendiarisrn: ! sasas II 5tta [ ss
 The volunteer system attracts young men and boys who somehow by running with the machine get completely absorb ed in fire work, The rivalry of compa- nies at fires creates 3 love of excitement, which, if it is not fed by the ordinary course of fires, craves by neglect to that extent that incendiarism naturally follows and becomes sort of monomania Prob ably nine-tenths of the incendia1ies in the country are educated in fire departments.

We have had two marriages of Our young people. First,s Leavitt Brinsmade of the firm Baker & Brinsmade, went to Roxbury and took sweet singing daugh- ter of that town which raised so many good singers. The next day, Thursday, George s. Clock and Mary B. Baker went to the Congregational church, which was beautifully decorated with evergreens and clematis above and around the pulpit, and solemnly promised to be good boy and girl all the days of their lives. The church looked so tasty tllat lnss Sabbath one of the Sunday school teachers wished they would have a wedding every week, if they would make it look so inviting
 Here is a hint as to the cause of some of the hard and bare theology. How much better to worship in Gods first temples, especially on such glorious morning as was last Sabbath. Such days, if one rises early and walks to church, will give one ideas of beauty and grace which cling around the dying seasons, teaching man how to die, and of how little worth is cus- tom, fashion, and the petty, vexing, little cares of mankind. w.
