LONDON, Sept. I.-Charles Stewart
Parnell, home rule member of house of
commons for Meath, addressed a dis.
orderly mob of from 10 to 10000 persons
in Limerick on Saturday, upon the land
question. He advised the farmers to
combine and pay no rent until they got a
reduction. The crowd applauded the ad-
dress aud shouted in favor of shooting the
landlords and agents. The platform was
finally stormed and much crushing and
fighting eDsued.

THIS is from the Boston Post. 1t will
not be long before the argus and other
Democratic papers in this State will be talk
ing the same strain:
But there is still another class of voters
whose position we are at as much of loss to
understand. and that is the class whose MEM
bers call themselves Greenbackers They GER
tainly are organized upon as dead an issue as any
we have instanced The better times that are
not only ON the way, but are actually knocking
at our doors, must be very distressing to them,
for they demolish the Greenback idea and
leave it nothing but air to stand on. Upon
whichever side we regard resumption it is an
impregnable fact. If we accept it as cause
which is the light in which Mr.. Sherman de-
lights to contemplate tit has restored conf
pence and stimulated industry as nothing else
has done, and it is worse than an error to OPP
pose it's benefcent operations. On the other
hand, if resumption is the effect of bountiful
crops and some rather close discipline in busi-
ness and social economy, as we think is the
case, it would be as useless to oppose the law OF
grayitation as to stand in the way of these nat
ural and legitimate results. When men see
something substantial and tangible attainabe
they are fools to pin their faith on irredeema-
BILE promises. Legislation did nothing for re
sumption. 1t came because all the conditions
were ripe for it, and now bankrupts and DEM
gogues are holding on to the tail OF active
business, and attempting to force it to stop and
wait until they can accomplish their purposes.

THE fusion papers are searching after
cases of bull-dozing. Here is one. Before
election Mr.. j. l. Lows was boarding at the
Oxford House, kept by A. o. Pike. He owed
Mr.. Pike three weeks board. Mr.. Pike took
him aside one day and told him if he would
vote the Greenback ticket he might consider
his board bill settled up to election day. MI
Lows gave no answer. Two days before
election Mr.. Pike ascertained that Mr.. LOWS
intended voting the Republican ticket AS
soon as he obtained this information he pre-
sented Mr.. Lows board bill and demanded
immediate settlement. Mr.. Lows immedi-

The Lesson of the Last Election.

Is it not time for intelligent and self-respect-
ing Democrats to take an observation and as
certain what their position with reference to
the politics of the country really is? They call
themselves Democrats. Why?
There was time, and that not very long ago,
when the Democratic party had what were sup
posed to be well-settled principles of public pol
icy The party was opposed to internal inn
provements; that question is settled. 1t was
in favor of constitutional guarantees, and any
other, to slavery, and of every concession to
shareholders in that direction; that is settled.
1t was in favor of free trade and opposed to
protection of home industries; that is settled.
1t was opposed to all registry laws, on the
pretence that they interfered with the free
dom of elections. That is settled. 1t
was unitedly and earnestly opposed to paper
money, and in favor of coin. 1t called paper
money 'shin plasters," rag money!" wild
cat money" and by many other opprobrious
epithets. 1t would have none of it. The DEM
ocratic administration repudiated it entirely;
separated itself from it; created the "sub-Treas-
ury" in which there was nothing but coin. 1t
would receive nothing but that in payment of
debts and issued only that; and this policy was
universally received everywhere by the Demo-
cratic party as the only true policy and prac-
tice in all matters connected with the financial
affairs of the country. ."
The Wings favored internal Improvements
in a moderate, reasonable way; they favore
protection to American industry; they objected
to and resisted the impudent demands and en-
croachments of the slave interests, asserting
the just and equal rights, before the law, of all
men, black as well as white, and maintained
the right of all men, irrespective of race or col
or, ito life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" The Wings were in favor of a mixed
currency of coin and paper; the latter convert
ure of the holder; of paper money equal to gold

The Argus says Bayard and Palmer would
make one of the many good teams which the
Democracy are able to hitch UP. Yes, Bay

to the National Banks and an opponent OF
the free coinage of silver.

NEWS comes from Ohio ttat Ewing has
virtually abandoned the contest for the gov
ernorship. The Thurman plan of trading
off the governorship for the legislature, sup
plemented, it is said, by free use of money
in the closer legislative districts, has been
carried out so openly that General Ewing
has determined to fall in with it and turn it
to his own advantage. Feeling that all his
chances of the governorship have been sac
rifced to Thurman's selfshness, he has re-
solved to contest the senatorship with that
gentleman. If votes are to be gained for the
legislature by trading off votes for the State
ticket, he feels that no one has better right
than himself to take hand in the dicker.
In short, his policy now is to put his shoul-
der to the wheel in the close districts and
make candidates understand that if they
succeed it is to him rather tn IN to Mr.. Thur
man that they will owe their election.

Queen Victoria, with all her pride of nation
al conquest, is apparently anxious to heal the
wounds of war. 1t is related that some one
lately passing in Windsor Great Park the Cul-
loden monument raised by the Duke Of Cum

growth of ivy round the base of the column. A
remark upon its beauty called outs the reply,

that the ivy may hide the inscription recording

Madame Grevy, the wife of the President,
travels in the simplest manner. She takes
great pains to pass unperceived, notwithstand-
ing the trouble taken to do her rather osten-
tatious homage. She has just arrived with her
daughter at Faux Bonnes where the manager
of the hotel, after serving her with a bottle of
the choicest wine, was astonished to hear her
say that she was accustomed to a frugal life,
and did not require to drink at Eaux-Bonnes
richer wines than in Paris. The honors which
have fallen to her lot do not seem to have af-
fected her in the least. Many carpers think
that France ought to be represented with ele-
gance, and that her genius is opposed to such
simplicity.
