4 NOTABLE CHANGE IN IRISH POLITICS.
Boston Pilot. Novemtsr 9.

Boston Pilot November 2.
1t has been evident for some time pact
that new step in the Home Rule move
ment m ust be taken. The course of Mr..
Butt and his immediate foil overs in sup
porting the Ministry on cert ain measures
caused widespread dissatisfaction. The step
that was inevitable has come, and specisl
cable despatch tells what it is.
After three days Conference in Dublin,
the more active and aggressive members of
the Home Rule organization, including Mr..
Parnell, OConnor Power, and other lob
structionists," have declared in favor of
an energetic policy. The Conference is
said to have been attended by delegates
from all parts of Ireland. Mr.. Butt, how
ever, wac absent.
The report at hand states that sixteen
Irish mem bers have given adhesion to the
new programme. Arrangements were made
at the Conference to contest all the seats
now occupied by Home Rulers who oppose
the policy of obstruction. In other words,
it is agreed to make an open Issue with Mr..
Butt before the people.
This, though bold step, has rot been
taken in haste. Events have gradually led
up to it, and the final act does not find the
country unprepared. Sdouid the public in
dorse it by electing men pledged to support
the Parnell policy, the Irish question will

operate in blocking the House of Commons
until the demand is granted or they are ex-
PEELED. This looks like downright earnest
ness, at all events, and if adhered to it may
produce good results.
Below we publish proposition to Mr..
Paruell from the leaders of the advanced
Irish Nationalists in America, cabled from
New York to Dublin last week. Should
this be accepted by the Home Rule mem
bers and the organized bodies in Ireland, it
ia a most important action which will at
once place the Irish cause on a world wide
footing. 1t will give the entire organized
force of the Irish people a formal mouth
piece in the British Parliament, and will
more than ever attract the attention of the
world. Even should this offer not be &C
cepted, it is a healthy sign, for it will lead
to an interchange of views between the
Irish radicals and conservatives, which will
open the way to an eventual

1t is well at funeral to be concise and
correct in narrating the incidents of the
life and character of the deceased, his
family, relations, etc. The following
shows an unusual caution:
Mr.. Phipps died, being the third hus-
band of Mrs. p. At the funeral, their
regular minister being out of town, the
Methodist minister was requested to
oficiate. Having recently beell assigned
to the town, and being almost a stranger,
he had to be hastily posted as to the de-
ceased, his family, etc. At the funeral
all went well, and stranger might have
thought him an old and intimate friend
Of the late Mr.. Phipps. But he was a
little foggy on the widow, for in the
prayer he lost his reckoning, and
brought the widow in about this wise:

bereaved again aud again and again, I"

Boston he was one day seen walking by
the new and magnificent Trinity Church.

walking slowly up the aisle, and noting
the various beauties of the edifce, they
came to the magnificent chancel, the
largest and finest in the United States.
After various questions aud answers in
reference to its arrangement and adapta-

oRpINARY ExpENp1ruREs. LESS PEnsI.

ALI these figures are derived from
official sources, and it appears by them that
the annual ordinary expenses of gov
eminent in seven years OF Democratic rule
were SCI, 554, 400, while the like average an
nual expenses in seven years of Republican
rule We're SAB, 456, l19, being an average
annual excess under Republican admins
tration of $8I, 90l 40.
And this excess cannot be explained by
the Increase of population, for the expense
per capita in the seven Republican years was
50 10, while in the seven Democratic years
il was only 81 81.
Nor can it be explained as necessarily re-
suiting from the war; for, as l have said, L
have excluded from the comparison eX-
penses caused by it. namely, pensions, pub
hc debt and interest thereon; and the first
OF the seven Republican years | have taken
was the third year after the war.
But, follow-ctizens, there is one great
drama of fraud, one huge black spot upon
the national escuLcheon, that cannot be
passed by with a mere allusion. The seat
OF the Chief Magistrate--that seat in times
past has been an emblem of purity and
honor-is occupied by man who was
never elected to it, and whose elevation was
accomplished by the grUsSest frauds and
boldesC usurpatiOns that ever disgraced the
history OF free people. L have no time
to-day to go into a detailed statement of
these frauds and usurpatiOns. These, fell
low citiZens, are now matters of history :;
but although the erroneous decision Dy
which Congress counted in Hayes and
Wheeler may not be reversible, that fact
makes it the ore incum bent upon the peo-
pie to condemn the decision and the means
by which it was brought about. If such an
usurpation can pass without rebuke, it will
soon be in vain TO talk of constitutional
modes and honest elections If the will OF
the people can, with impunity, be over
thrown by obscure and corrupt returnin z
boards, and there is no remedy for the
wrong, it will soon be the voice of such
boards an not the voice of the people, that
