The newspapers from a great many of
the important business centers of the
country are filed with accounts of the
increase in business which the past year
has witnessed. To take few illustra-
tlons, at Buffalo there has been, during
the past twelve months, larger amount
of grain received and forwarded than
ever before in similar period, while
the number OF cattle that have been
landed there, to await shipment to con-
Stunning markets, is larger than the en-
tire receipts at the New York city stock
yards. The Detroit merchants report
that the lake business has greatly i'm
proved, while there has been no slight
enlargement of the manufacturing in
terests that centre there. The same
comments are made at Cleveland, which
is fast growing to be rival of Pittsburg
in the iron business. The Philadel-
phlans report themselves as we'll salts
fed with the share they have been able
to secure in the export trade of the
country. and, also. with the promises of
what the future will do for them. In
deed. the new year opens with sort of
industrial jubilee all around.

THE IRISH LEADER.

Charles Stuart Parnell, the leader in
the present agitation for land reform in
Ireland, has Just landed in New York
on MS long promised visit IN the inter-
ests of his cherished cause. He is still
a comparatively young man, refined and
delicate in his appearance, and giving
not the slightest indication of his capa-
bility for arousing the Irish people to
realization of their wrongs, or in other
words becoming leader in the demand
upon the English government for their
righting. He was in parliament for
something more than two years before
attracting any attention. Then he sud-
denly astOnished everybody by making
vigorous speech against the policy of
the government in some matters that
had nothing to do with Ireland. To all
remonstrances about expanding his
strength upon things that did not per-
tain to home questions, he simply replied
that he should conduct his parliament
life in the way that suited him best.
He is politically shrewd, and has
managed thus far to attack only those
measures whose weakness he could make
apparent. His influence has been con-
stantly growing, and although he is a
Protestant and upon his mothers side of
American birth, all efforts to use relig-
ious weapons against him among the
Irish have failed. They regard him as
the man of the day, the one who is fight
ing their battles, and who will gain for
them, If any one can, concessions that
will better their condition. The English
members of parliment look upon him as
talented and sagacious, and one who, in
the future, if he takes no false steps,
will become a leading statesman. Mean
while his name is rallying cry for al
whose sympathies are excited In behalf
of the suffering Irish.
1t is said his stay in this country will
not probably exceed a month or sil
weeks, as he is anxious to be in Londor
at the opening of parliament, in cas-,
the question should be raised of his i'm
parchment of having used alleged sedi
tious language. Parnell has received
official warning to be guarded in tn
language he may use in the Unitet
States, as it may be brought against hin
hereafter. The government short-han,
writers follow him and take down ever,
word they hear him utter.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

The reports of extended war prepare
tions on the part of Russia need to be
taken with several grains Of salt. To
a good many European correspondents
and newspapers. Russia is a perpetual
bugbear, and the most ordinary military
maneuvres on her part are instantly con-
structed into a menace against the peace
of Europe. 1t is quite possible that
Russia is strengthening her western
frontier. While all Europe continues
to be an armed camp, it would be strange
if any of the great Powers failed to
strengthen itself wherever points of weak
ness showed themselves. But France
has been making prcdigious expenditures
for improving and adding to her defen-
ces along the lines which Germany used

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIroR.1
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. 1870.

WASHINGTON, Jan. D, 1917.
The decision of the Supreme Court of
Maine, is received with intense satisfac-
ton by Republicans here. They look
upon it as the judgment of justice visit
ed upon the rascally gang who aimed to
subvert the ends.
The Democrats regard it as the death
knell to their burglarious hopes, and ON
all sides they blame Gov. Garcelon Sc
verely for his shortsightedness in giving
the Supreme Court chance to show the
matter up from legal standpoint. The
regular Democrats, or more hardened
rascals. who stood behind Garcelon, and
keep him propped up in the works,
were bitterly opposed to his submitting
any questions whatever to the Court,
knowing that legal decision would be
against them. We expect the men whom
the people selected to legislate will now
do so. This Is another splendid Repub-
lican victory over Democratic fraud and
knavery, and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon Senator Blaine, and 9TH
er prominent Republicans for the part
they have taken in preventing the con-
summation of the Democratic usurpation
Among the rumors afoat here, is one
that Hon. A. M. Clapp. Ex-Gov't Print
er, and editor of the Republican here,
is to receive the nomination for City
Postmaster, to succeed the late Judge
Edmunds. Mr.. Tullock, assistant, and
now acting postmaster, is also favorably
mentioned for the Office, and he will, in
all probability, be the lucky man. There
is also to be District Attorney appoint
ed shortly. Colonel George B. Corkhill.
one of our prominent lawyers, will most
likely be the lucky man.
People have almost forgotten that such
party exists as the National Greenback
Labor party. but we wish to inform your
readers that it has not entirely passed
away. It's latest device to draw votes,
is scheme to pay pensioners the differ
ence between greenbacks and gold at the
time they received their payments. This
is cunning little dodge calculated to
excite the cupidity of soldier voters, and
induce them to clamor for minor legisla.
ton. Such measure, if adopted, would
bankrupt the government. and no soldier
who loves his country would ask of i
such a sacrifice. 1t is hoped the Demo
Gratis will not take the matter up. Re
publicans assuredly will not.

pleted his bill providing for l-2 pc

for invasion, and Italy has strengthened
herself on her northern frontier, but
neither Germany in the one case, nor
Austria in the other, has been thrown
into trepidation by these movements.
No one of the great Powers of Europe is
less likely to assail the general peace at
the present time than Russia. Her army
has not recovered from the prodigious
shock which the war with Turkey occa-
stoned; her finances are demoralized
and she is rent with internal dissensions,
which threaten the very fabric of socie-
ty. Moreover, the relations between the
Russian and German courts have been
marked of late by an appearance of
friendliness which would be entirely in
consistent with belligerent preparations.
Russia is not likely to make any warlike
move at present, and when she does it
is less likely to be in Europe than in
Asia. A demonstration in Europe would
bring upon her swarm of enemies with
whom she would have to contend single
handed, while in Asia the only Europe
an antagonist with whom she would have
to contest would be her old-time and
traditional foe, England. 1t is not like
ly that Austria or Germany would ex-
perience any great solicitude concerning
strife between Russia and England for
supremacy in Central Asia. For these,
among other reasons, it is probable that
the warlike preparations which are CIV
ing the English journals SO much uneasi-
ness are of a defensive character, and
made in view of remote rather than i'm
mediate contingencies. Indeed, they
may be only ordinary movements, and
wholly devoid of significance.

THE MAINE UsURpAT1oN.

The past week witnessed the culmina-
ton of the plot on the part of Garcelon
and Pillsbury. to set aside the decision
of the people in Maine at the last cleo
ton, and to destroy republican major
ity in the Legislature. by counting out
about thirty men who were elected, and
counting In nearly as many who were not
elected.
AS is we'll known by our readers,
Garcelon and his councillors. by virtue
of rights vested in them, issued certif-
Gates of election to members of the leg
islature, the law prescribing their duties.
They exceeded their rights and manipu-
lated the matter as they saw fit, in or
der, as the result showed, to deprive a
large number of republicans of their
seats, leaving towns and cities unrepre-
scented, or represented by men who re-
ceived minority of the votes. This
created great excitement in the State
and all over the country, and Garcelon
was led, after good deal of petitioning
and the advice of leading men in his
own party, to submit set of questions
to the Supreme Court. The questions
submitted were prepared by shIewd
lawyer, and SO worded as to leave, as
Garcelon supposed, some of the vital
questions at issue, outside. The Su-
prene Court decided the questions SUBJ
mitted, and the decision completely set
aside the whole system of technicalities
on which Garcelon and his councillors
made their rulings. The Court decided
the matter on principles Of common
sense and justice.
But the decision made no difference
with Garcelon; he issued no new certlf.
Gates to those deprived of them, and re-
vised no decisions he had made which
the Court called wrong On Wednesday
the Legislature met, and the regular
fusionists (Greenbackers and Democrats)
were all present. as were nearly all the
counted in" fusionists. The House
and Senate proceeded to organize accord
ing to the usual custom. The Republi
cans, feeling the outrage, decided to have
nothing to do with the matter of organ
ization. Eugene Hale was the only
Republican who was qualified on thei
side. He objected to the organization
of the House. and made the point o
order, at every stage of the proceedings
that there was no quorum present, which
point was bullied down, and the revolu
tiOnists organized the House and Senate
1t was fact that no quorum voted, an,
it will prabably turn out when the Su
preme Court gets hold of the matter, tina
the whole proceedings were illegal
and that no legal business can be done
During the remainder of the week Their
was wranglibg over disputed points
and general bedlam in both branche
of the Legislature.
