Irish Questions in the British Parlia-


10 tbs Editor Of 1hs Chicago Tribune.
= CHICAGO, Feb. lit must have struck
many persons as strange that. out Of 103 Irish
members only forty-two supported Mr..
Shaw's amendment to the address III reply to
the Queens speech, and the fact may have
been taken as evidence of the want of unan-
unity among the Irish people as to a desire
for remedial Legislation as to the system Of
land tenure in Ireland. But this is certainly
not the case. for, outstanding the limited

Fighters, and ten members as Liberals and
Tenant-Righters. OF the Home~Rulers only
thirty-eight voted with Mr.. Shaw, and only
four Liberals. Those; other uoMe-R9lers
or who abstained from voting, did so in plain
violation OF their pledges, and because-for
most Of them are landlords-their own in
terests were assai1ed. Mr.. Parnell has been
frequently called to account for his lenun-
citation of this section Of the Irish Psflia-
mentary party by certain persons, but it is
evident that he has been fully justified in his
denunciations. It is surely crime against
the people who trusted in the pledges OF
these members, and who made many sacri-
English members voted with Mr.. Shaw, these
do-nott,inEs were absent or hostile.
The manner by which the Tory members
retain their seats for Irish constituencies was
alluded to some time ago in THE TRIBUNE.

10 The Editor Of TIE Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Feb. IL wish to enter a plea
in behalf Of dry-goods clerks. It is a fact
well known, If not universally, among them
selves, that they are a class Of skilled labor
ers that are overworked and underpaid.
They are expected to go to business at z or
7:S0 and remain behind their counter till Q or
10 o'clock at night, enduring the rebuHs and
Immature Of all with whom they are brought
in contact. Every branch Of trade has its
union or association except the dry goods,
and my plan Is tat th,s SUBJECT subject oe sgtafRed lee
neyolent association or society to be organ
lied. Let all clerks give their views.

Arrival Of the Visitors.

THE RELIANCE FIRE COMPANY OF

CITY AT 1 O'CLOCK.
The Reliance Fire Company, No. 5,
Of Bethlehem, Pa, who are the guests
OF the Reliance Fire Company If his
city, arrived here OH the New York and
Washington Express south, at l o'clock.
The visitors were met IN Philadelphia by
4 recep Ion committee, and upon their ar
rival here we're escorted to the G ty Hall,
W, ere, In the absence Of the Mayor from
the city, they we're welcomed by Harry
Sharpley, Esq. who said that 1t had fallen
upon HIM To extend to the visiters on
behalf OF the Mayor and City Council
the courtesies of the city. Another

which 1t says, "Oh, Bethlehem thou AIT

Of Wilmington are dependent upon you
for number of articles, used in our
manufactures, and we are dependent
upon you for our warm tn In winter
On the other hand you are dependent
upon us for various articles of manu-
facture, SO it would seem that our in
terests are co-equal. In colonial times
Pennsylvania and Delaware formed
one colony, and so we should be Of one
spirit, of one amity and of one iuteres'
You as firemen are engaged in concur
rent persuits, that is the extinquish-
ment of fires, and you do so without
any reward, the only reward which
yon look forward to is the good wishes
of all citizens.
In concluding he said, we extend TO
you the courtesies of the city, hoping you
will enjoy yourselves, aud carry back a
good report to the land of Bethlehem.
Hon. q. Nj. Umstead, Chief Burgess,
respon ed on behalf of the visitors. lie
SAID: In behalf of the Reliance Fire
Company of Bethlehem, extend TO you
all our heartfelt thanks for the reception
that has been given us. We have
met with such a reception that was
never thought of In the first place. This
trip has been thought of for the past
three months.
1t has been thought what a pleasure
it would be to go to Wilmington to
meet a namesake. He had been q
member of fire company for 40 years,
and in all that time the firemen had
not received justice from the citizens
where they belonged. The firemen
are second to no organization in the
country they are the men who succol
and the men who save our wealth.
| The soldier goes out to battle, but
he gets his pay, and pension, but the
fireman get nothing. In concluding he
said that the mouth could hardly give
utterance to the feeling of the heart fol
such reception, and he could do nc
more than extends their thanks, ant
their hearts for the reception.
The visitors numbr rs equipped men
and an fine looking set of fellows
They are accompanied by the Bethlehem
