Several letters have just been
published from prominent Irish
landlords bearing upon the present
condition of the peasantry of that
island. The distress is especially
great in the West and South of
Ireland. These writers seem
agreed on one thing, that peasant
propriety' would be a fatal step
economically and socially. This is
obviously unreasonable. 1t was an
incalculable benefit to France and
to every country which has tried it,
and the experience of the Irish in
America abundantly shows that the
average Irishman is a good farmer
upon his own land. He improves
every way when lie comes to be
his own employer, and to till his
own farm. In fact, there can be
no permanent bettcrment of the
Irish people without land reform.
Charity may relieve temporary
suffering, but real reform must be-
gin with the soil and its ownership.

By the death Of Bishop Gilbert
Haven the colored people as well as
the Methodist church suffer a great
loss. The Bishop was a great stall
wart in religion and politics, and
gained more notoriety by his utter
anccs on political topics than by his
labors in the Church. His death
was indirectly caused by disease
contracted on visit to Liberia some
years ago in behalf of the interest OF
the colored people.

IRISH RELIEF AND REFORM

At this writing that great Irish
patriot Mr.. Parnel, has landed on
American soil. The cause which
he represents is gaining all the
time in popular sympathy. 1t is
not based on prejudice to the Brit
ism. 1t is not sprout from that
root Of bitterness, two wars between
this country and England. On the
contrary it is due wholly to the
fact that the people of Ireland have
been brought to the verge Of slarva
ton by n rent system, the most vic
ions conceivable. and that its evils
have now become absolutely I'M
bearable.
Meetings are being held III differ,
emf parts OF the country to express
sympathy and inangeratc a move
ment for substantial aid. lester
day afternoon one was held at
Springfield which was most en-,
couraging in its Results. The reso-
lutions were adopted and several
speeches were made by gentlemen
of high standing. No party lines
were drawn. and none should be
anywhere at any time. Chicago's
Mayor stands alone in taking a
partisan view of this cause. HIS
refusal TO preside over the McCorm-
lex Hall meeting for political reas-
ons was as stupid as it was con
temptible. Among those who sent
letters of sympathy TO the Spring.
field meeting were Senators Logan
aud Davis, Governor Cullom, Hon
Gustave koerner and congressman
Springer and Singleton, They all
breathe the same spirit. General
Logan, having quite fully given
expression to his views in Lis letter
to the Chicago meeting, did not
discuss the subject, but JudgeDavis
drew graphic picture of the con-
trast between agricultural thrift in
the West and the condition of the
producing class Of Ireland. The
contrast is not due to the difference
in the people themselves, for the
Irish III America are eminently
prosperous. Their pitiable plight
in their native land is thus depicted
by Judge Davis

JOHN TAYLOR, the President Of
the Utah MormoEs, on Sunday even
ing, at the Tabernacle IN Salt Lake
City. declared that the Mormons will
continue to practice polygamy in
spite of the law and the judicial de.
cisions against it. Taylor is one of
"the higher law" advocates of the
plurality of wives. 1t is stated that
though the mass of Mormons endorse
his utterances, the thinking classes
among them are much annoyed at
his radicalism, and there are rumors
OF division in official church circles.

MEN who talk about "the dissolu.
ton of both political parties" and a
'new organization" know little of
the sentiment Of the nation. Why
should the people desire to change
from Republican rule !! What party

fully met every demand ; Its his
tory in the past, its success in the
present, its prospects in the future,

1t has a great work before it, and
will not lay down its arms until that
work has been accomplished.

A horse thief having stolen val

right or wrong. The court answers
that he did wrong, of course. Then
the thief putting spurs to his horse,
rides off, saying, "That's all | wanted

THE action of the Supreme Court
in Maine is one more laurel in the
cap of the judiciary, and another
illustration of how upright judges
now and then step between politl-
cal power which becomes tyrannical
and the liberty they would sacrifice,
and with that justice
Whose beam stands sure whose rightful cause
prevails,
confound the guilty and exhaut the
good.
The Judges in Maine do not leay Q
the Governor and Council peg to
stand on. They are routed, horse,
foot, and dragons, and are displayed
to the world in their true light, as
men who have attempted to use the
power confided in them to over
turn republican institutions and de-
stroy the fundamental principles on
which our government rests. What
action those convicted robbers will
take now remains to be seen, but it
is difficult to imagine how they can
60 on in their work of fraud after
this official announcement that their
every act has ueen illegal, defiance
of law and equity alike, and that
they stand before the world palpa-
bly, guilty of crime against liberty
as well as law.

as viewed IRON this point, as well as
from other "points." The "nipping
and eager air" that chilled the fes-
tiyities of Christmas has given place
TO mild Southern breezes, that have
dispelled the glittering snow, and
silenced jingling sleigh bells; much
to the advantage of the poor, though
not to the profit of livery men, or
wood and coal dealers.
There was but little in the way OF
holiday celebration though mer-
chants report heavier sales of pres
entation goods than for many years
preceding. The silly practice OF
calling" on New Years day, was
not INDUCED In to the usual extent,
still there was generous number OF
fools in full dress who pranced from
hoNe to house, depositing paste
boards, stuffing their stomaches, and
smiling at simple ladies who stood
trimmed to receive"
To morrow will be gala-day. The
State officers being then installed
for their second term in grand style.
Militia companies, bands, flags, etc,
comprise the display during the day.
and a formal reception by State Of
ficials, to conclude with dance, will
occupy the evening. OF course the
matter of installing the officers does
not call for such display, and some
may be disposed to criticise, bat as
the dancers pay the fiddlers, and no
one is required to dance who is in
disposed to do so, no serious ohjec-
ton can be raised. The States gas
bill will be q trifle heavier on ac-
count of it, no doubt, but no tax
payer will feel the burden seriously.
A lively interest is taken in the
Maine fraud the result of which
no one seems willing to foretell. The
decision of the supreme court, adj
verse to the Democrats on every
point submitted by the usurper, CIR
celon, ought, of course, to correct
the evil, but that the Democrats will
still persist in retaining control of
the State is generally expected.
