The Irish Home Rulers.

Our special cable dispatches from Dublin
show that the Irish home rule agitation is
taking new phase. The party which for
the past ten years submitted with more or
less restiveness to the lead ership of Mr..
Isaac Butt has at length thrown him over
and resolved on bolder course. The pre-
monitions Of this course are to be found in
the tactics of Parliamentary obstruction
which so frequently stopped the course of
business in the House of Commons last
year. When the government refused
to give any time to the discussion of
Irish measures the ''obstructionists, !"
as they are called, under the lead
of Messrs. Parnell, Biggar and O'Connor
Power, retaliated by stopping the Parlia-
mentary machine. From this course MI.
Butt dissented; but the Irish people. glad
of anything that looked like courageous,
a fighting policy, supported the tireless
Parnell. Added to this cause of disagree
mcnt came the support Of the tory gov
eminent by Mr. Butt and other
home rulers on the question of the
six million pounds for war prepara-
tions against Russia. Beyond all this
arose the conviction that home rule
ns Mr.. Butt interpreted it was n vague,
shapeless thing, which England could
laugh at, and the leader of the party could
not even formulate. If anything that the
i'm perial Parliament could grant was worth
organizing for IL was repeal of the act OF
Legislative Union as demanded by Daniel
OConnell. or . federalism that would

The Big blow.

The approach of the storm that swept
over the Atlantic coast and the Middle
and New England States during yes
our columns, and timely warning given
of its course and character. The narrow
ing between the lakes and Florida of
the zone of high barometer during Sun
day last indicated the advance from the
West Indies of a disturbance of consider
able energy. This fact we duly noted, and
as the indications of the storms approach
developed into unmistakable evidence of its
movement toward our coasts we gave notice
Of the danger that threatened. As the
phenomena of storm movements on the
Atlantic coast repeat themselves it is not
difficult to anticipate the changes that will
occur and prepare for them. In this case
it was absolutely certain that the storm
from the West Indies would hug the coast
line, because north and east of its centre an
extensive area Of high barometer presented
q positive barrier to it's movement in a more
northeasterly direction than the one it has
followed. On the other hand, depression

disturbance was moving to meet the cyclone.
and when the union took place between
them the region OF first contact naturally
experienced fierce gales and heavy rainfall.
Our dispatches from the various dis
tricts affected show how damaging was the
storm both inland and on the coasts. The
prostration Of the telegraph wires, however,
limits the area from which reports can be
got, and really cuts off communicate with
all the country south of the lake shore and
New York State. Locally the big blow was
very severe, as our reports will show. If
vessels put to sea on Tuesday in the
face Of our warning their. commanders
certainly took all the risks of shipwreck.
Timely notice of the storms movement was
cabled to our London Bureau on Monday
night, and Immediately telegraphed to
every important port, so that vessels bound
west from Europe, and that left on Tues
day, are informed of the dangers they may
encounter in midocean.

the Perils or tho Road.

The runaway in Central Park. which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. Patrick Butler,
and, later, Of his.wife, was only one of
have become too common to escape serious
apprehension. On Tuesday Mme Modjeska
narrowly escaped injury by runaway
horse; recently dangerous upset occurred
in Brooklyn, while accidents more or
less dangerous happen every day in our
city streets. Some of them are due to fast
driving, which is practised at Central Park,
on the avenues and on whatever streets
have good surface, although there are
ordinances known to the police forbidding
any rate Of speed that is at all dangerous.
Why do not the police do their duty
Are they afraid to stop reckless drivers, or
do they compromise such cases instead of
reporting them SO that they may be brought
to justice? And what are the police
in the Park doing that they can
not prevent accidents like that which
befell Mr.. and Mrs. Butler and Nine.
Modjeska? The pedestrians in the Park
need no watching; the attention of tho
pOlACo SAOuAO 10 CiOSOiy SOAAAOu W tu0
driveways, so that they may be ready
either to warn or to rescue. Outside the
Park the dangers of carriage riding are
more attributable to the condition of the
streets than to anything else. 1t is almost
impossible to find a street of any length
which is not dangerous in some way to
wheeled vehicles. Some of them have de-
fective pavements, full Of ruts and holes !;
in others repairs are going on, and driver
turns suddenly from street or avenue to
find blockade of cross bars or stone heaps,
while the distractions which builders are
allowed to accumulate are too numerous
and varied to be- specified. The certainty
of safety can be found only in slow driving
and the closest police supervision Of every
public driveway, and those who are too
reckless to be cautious or to respect the
city ordinances upon driving should be
brought to justice, in spite of their wealth,
social position or any other seeming pallia-
tion Of their offences.

The CHEYENNEs HAVE CROSSED the Missouri
River and are well on their way to Sitting Bulls
camp. 1t appears that these hostiles crossed
the Yellowstone n week ago, and came upon
General Miles without warning from General
Gibbon. 1t is remarkable fact that our Off
GERS pay more attention to their own quarrels
and jealousies than to the important duty
assigned them in watching the red men. At
least that is the inference to be drawn from the
statements made in our Bismarck despatch.
Gentlemen who wear the silver star should re-
member that they are the servants of the nation.
The WEATHER.-The movement of the cy-

very rapid and attended with unusually heavy
rains and violent gales. The storm over
The land was largely increased by the move
ment eastward of a considerable depression
from the region of the lakes. When the cyclone
margin reached that of the depression the two
areas of low pressure united and formed
IN elongated trough which extended
nearly north and south from the Caro-
linas far into Upper Canada. In the
rearrangement Of the pressures the violent local
gales were experienced over Pennsylvania,
New York and generally along the Atlantic
coast from Cape Hattcras to Cape Cod. Vest
ward Of the storm centre the pressure rises
briskly, except in the upper Mississippi Valley,
and is high over the Rocky Mountain region
southwark of Montana Territory. Another de-
preston has moved into the region north of
Lake Superior and will probably merge with
that now In Upper Canada. tho whole forming
m area of disturbance unusually extensive.
The pressure is also high over Newfound-
land and southoastward from that island.
This insurcs continuance of the gales
and heavy winds for several days along
the New England, New Brunswick and New
foundand coasts When the storm moves into
the Atlantic its energy may be reduced tem-
,orarily. but it will not lose its dangerous
character. The temperature in the Northwest
y low. Elsewhere it is very uniform. The
weather in New York and it's vicinity to-day
will be colder and cloudy, or partly cloudy,
with moderate southwest to strong northwest
winds and, possibly, occasional light rains. To-
morrow it will be cool and clearing, with strong
northwcsterly winds.
