Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, is authority for the statement
that the obstructive tactics which have
been successfully carried on by Mr.. Parnell
and his handful of following among the
Irish members could be made impossible
but for the support and encouragement
they gain from representatives Of great
English constituencies. In other words,
the leader Of the House admits that the
plan adopted by a few home rulers to
compel the attention of the House to
Irish measures has opened up such tempt
ing opportunities to 60 and do likewise
that a great many English members
are disposed to look on it as a useful
discovery. What we have long regarded
as Congressional commonplace under
the name Of "flibustering," and whose
machinery we call "dilatory motions" :"
comes to the British Parliament via the
Emerald Isle with all the freshness of an
invention. 1t is not however, covered by
any patent or copyright. and they are
welcome to it. Until Mr.. Parnell, after o
visit to the United States, imported ''ili-
clustering" it is q curious fact that Irish
measures could be thrown out or slurred
over in the most cavalier fashion. Irish
business was q ''bore," and q prejudice
similar to that which shows itself
every now and then on this Conti-
nent against the Hebrew race could
be safely relied on to unite all parties
in the Parliament against the purely Irish
or their demands. 10 the cynical gentle
men, who are about evenly divided up into
liberals and conservative members an
"Irish grievance" had about as much chance
of effective appeal as o tailor with bill to
man who lives by his wits "Obstruc-
ton" proved a process very scandalizing
and embarrassing, it is true, to these cynical
members, just as q judicious system Of
dunning might be in tho case of tailor,
and all sorts Of extreme measures we're
talked of to put an end to it. It was to be
settled offhand, just as there was to be q
'.dash on Cabul, but the Objectionable proc
ess has, it seems, found new friends, and
apart from the increased following which dis
contented Ireland promises to Mr.. Parnell,
English members, Sir Stafford alleges, are
now ready to take it up. This means that
local English measures suffer in the same
way as mere Irish ones. The serious moral
of it is that tho English Parliament, as ut
present organized, is unequal to the amount
of work it should perform. It talks too
much or legislates too little, and must look
for reform in the direction Of separating the

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is responsible for SO
much of the wickcdness Of this generation that
the charge Of a labor reforner, that tramps
were never heard of until that party came into
power, is unnecessarily cruel. Tramps date
back to Adam, the founder of their order, and
every man who, like him, has thrown away a
good living without knowing where another
was to come from has been u tramp in every
sense of the word

TRAMPs HAVE SUDDENLY found friend,
though doubtless an unwilling one, in Judge
Dykman, who has directed the Grand Jury Of

ready in all future cases.

If THE SUSPICION proves correct that Coney
Island hotel proprietors are going to oppose a
general system Of drainage because of its cost
they should be legally compelled to do what is
their manifest duty in the matter. Frequenters
of the island do not grumble at hotel expenses
so landlords have no excuse for not doing all
that the general health demands.

u The Warner Silver bill, which the
Democratic majority has been trying to
force through the House, is another of
those startling specimens of idiocy of
which the present Congress has given
so many. One section of this bill re-
quires the government to buy all silver
that may be offered, whether American
or foreign. For every Alp 1-2 grains
presented it is required to pay dollar
or issue certificate for dollar, good
to pay customs and taxes. In other
words, the government is to pay one
hundred cents for that which private
buyers can obtain for eighty-four cents.
Under the provisions of this bill foreign
governments now suffering from load
of demonetized silver, could sell the
stuff to our government and realize for
every one million of silver one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars more than it
Is worth, and this country would be
the loser by that amount. OF course
it would take but a very short
time to drain all the gold out of the
country. Happily for the country,
the Republican minority is yet too
strong for the bill to pass, and even if
that were not the case, there is Re-
publican president who stands between
the country and the fools who would

DROWNING Wednesday
Mr.. II. Chandler McNall, assistant keep.
er of the Colchester lighthouse, in COM
pany with Mr.. Melaney, the keeper went
to ali island about three-fourths of a mile
from the lighthouse, where they have a
garden. The wind being so high that
they could not land where they at
tempted to, Mr.. Melaney jumped out
and told Mr.. McNall to row around the
island where he could land. But
McNall seemed to prefer sailing and so
hoisted the sail. Mr.. Melaney, on get
ting out Of the boat, went upon the is
land, where the water was hidden from
view by the trees, and after waiting
about half an hour, went TO the shore
and saw McNall capsized about three
fourths of mile out. McNall started
to swim ashore twice, put turned back,
probably thinking that he could not
hold out, the wind blowing against
him. He tried 1t the third time, and
when about thirty feet from the boat,
he went down to rise no more, the
water being about 100 feet deep. When
the boat was found, his clothes were
tied to il, and the rigging was borne
about three miles from the scene of the
accident. The unfortunate man was
about twenty-four years old, was a
member of the Methodist church, and q
true Christian. He leaves many friends
TO mourn his sudden death, and his par.
ents have the sympathy of all. His
body had not been recovered at last ac-
counts.

Death OF Ex-GOv. Peck.

Hon. Asahel Peck died at his home
in Jericho, last Sunday evening. He
was attacked with pneumonia in March,
and his death was for some time ex-
pected, but of late he was supposed to
be getting better. He was born in
Royalton, Mass, in 1903. His father
moved to Montpelier in 1906, where the
young man fitted for college, but left a
few weeks before his class graduated to
go to Canada, where he remained some
time. lie was admitted to the Chitten-
den county bar in 1882. His practice
grew rapidly. He was elected Judge of
the Circuit Court in 1851, holding the
office four years. lie was elected q
Judge of the Supreme Court in 1860,
and held the Office until 1874, in which
year he was elected governor of the
state. Judge Peck was straightfor-
ward, honest man, a true and UMPIRE
tending gentleman, and favorite
where he lived. He was a sound law
yer, and as judge his rulings were al
most always correct. He leaves
handsome fortune.
