4 SUNDAY TRIBUNE.

Mr. Greeley printed a regular Sunday edition
of THE TRIBUNE in 1861. Since then, we bave
contented ourselves with "a paper six days
in tine week and ii is with the greatest re-
luctance that we have been led to contem-
plate a return TO the Sunday issue Every
other morning newspaper in the city. however,
has long since made Sunday edition one Of
it's principal features; and for years the
united demands OF our readers and adyertis-
ers for a paper on the day when they say
they want il most have grown constantly
harder to resist The habit of New Workers
in this respect has greatly changed since
the wnr They read newspapers more
than books, and they read more on
Sunday than on the buster days of
the week. 1t is not a question any longer on
Sunday mornings, whether they will read the
newspapers, but only what newspapers they
will read. Our patrons have long urged their
right to get from us what we have to
sell, at the time when they want to buy.
They do not want to wait, and they will not
wait. till Monday morning for Saturdays news.
If we refuse to sell. they simply go elsewhere.
After long efforts to resist it, we are thus
finally forced to see the imperative business
necessity of giving our patrons what they
want rather than drive them TO our rivals.
The question of work on day held sacred
by most of our readers, and accepted as
properly day of rest by all, is not involved.
Nobody objects to. or would consent to give
up Mondays paper; but there is far
more Sunday work necessary in its preDara-
ton than IN that for Sunday morning. We
shall 80 arrange matters, however, that
all employees will have their day of
rest. And We shall hope to make our
Sunday issue such that even the most
scrupulous of our readers will rejoice IN
it as an improvement over the Sunday publ
cations which it will displace.
Henceforth THE TRIBUNE will be issued
every day in the year. Ask your newsGealer
to supply 1t regularly.

TIE CONDITION or IRELSND.

There is ground for apprehension that both
England and America will be called upon be-
fore the Winter is over to keep Ireland from
actual starvation. The political disturbances
have lately put the real condition of the pep
Die and their food supply almost out of
sight, but an official report just made
TO the Government by the Irish Local
Government Board gives a summary of the
returns of the crops, the supply of turf, etc.
There will not" says this report, be half
"an average crop of potatoes, and these are
"inferior in quality and affected by blight.
1.-The supply of turi, owing to the lons con-
"tinued rains, viii everywhere fall short.
" Much was cut, but was rotted. ln the west
"ern and midland counties, where turf
"is the only fuel used. this loss falls
heaviest Added to these causes of SUI
fering is the scarcity of employment,
owing To the unsettled relations of land
lord and tenant. In Ulster Munster and
Lcinster great destitution seems imminent.
The Board have carefully examined the re-
turns of the Poor-Law Unions to discover the
amount of actual present suffering, ld find
that iu one Union alone 1918 more persons
applied for relief in one week of October,
1879, than in the corresponding week of last
year. The Times states that =" the pressure
"w.l not become really grave until Christ
mas. After that it will he severe, unless
"outside relief is given"
Several schemes of practical relief have been
proposed. The Irish Secretary, Mr.. LOwther,
has personally visited the suffering districts,
and, prompted by the Roman Catholic Bishops,
strongly urges that tie Government set about
reclaiming the waste lands in Ireland. thus
giving immediate employment to the Idle
peasants. and adding. at the same time, TO the
health and substantial wealth of the island.
The Bishops also recommend that public
works bc set OH foot to meet the necessities
"of the Irish people; such as the building
"of bridges, trans and railways. besides ar
"terial drainage. and improvement Of tenant

The impairment curiosity which Is never
content to let alone the private lives
of actors, authors, politicians and other
public pcrsonagcs, is mainly responsible Tor
sort Of journalism which has brought rcproacn
upon the whole American press. The nara
opinion of the newspapers OF this country
which Dean Stanley is said to have expressed
after his recent visit, the still more savage
denunciations of them which abound IN the
newly-published letters of Charles Dickens,
are justified to some extent by practices
Which do not, indeed. prevail in all American
journals hut from which very few are wholly
free. Probably personal detraction and vui-
gar gossip are more common IN the west
ern press than they are here; II we
could say that they were confined to the
West we should be better pleased. Inc alticie

Valley the local reporters are observed thrust
ing themselves into the private apartments
of the artists, listening at the drcsslng-room

all the chatter of vexed managers and spite
full women. So insuiferable do the gadiies
of journalism become at such times that the
tour of an opera company through the west
seems to be sort of National misfortune.
A good rule for reporters of the Leaven-
worth variety is to take their eyes away IRON
keyholes. and not to meddle with the personal
lives of tine public favorites. Even an opera

course depend upon the goodwill Of the land
lords, aud so long as Rory Of the Hill" and
his landlord hold their present position 1t Il
not likely that the master will be touched by
lory's hunger or idlcnoss. The larger portion
of the English press demonstrate against any
steps by the Government for relief SO long as
Irish absentee landlords hold ont no helping
hand to their defiant, starving debtors. inc
Times gocs further and protests against
any attempt by Government to give

The Times acknowledges the practical wisdom
of giving work instead of aims. it adds that
no Irlshman would be willing to go into
" workhousc if lie could get employment from
Government outside" Why should he. in
deed The Times advises that the mat
ter be left without interference until
the Irish have reached condition OF
actual need. "when the we!l-known gener-
- osity of the English people may be relied
" upon to send them food"
We have little doubt that the advice will be
followed. The policy of pauperizing the Irish
peasantry, by exacting high rents and giving
them aims. is one of long and approved
standing in England.

Our Washington dispatches give the text Of
an important bill relating to the cash re-
serve of National banks, which the House
Committee on Banking and Currency has
authorized Its chairman to report. This
requires in brief, that one-half of the reserve
of twenty per c"ut held by the National
banks shall be in standard gold and silver
coin. 1t is the object of the bill, as declared
by Mr.. Buckner to effect distribution to the
country of a considerable portion OF the
"cOin that has accumulated in the United States
"Treasury, and incidentally to release a
corresponding amount of legal-tender
"notes now kept by the banks as their
reserve" The reasons for believing that
the bill would have 10 present effect IN
either direction, are stated in the Washing
ton dispatches. 1t is even thought that
the hope which Mr.. Buckner is supposed to
cherish of transferring by means OF this bill
portion of the silver accumulated in the
Treasury to the country banks. will not be
fnlflled
