The "Daiiy News ON the Condition OF
u Ireland.

LONDON, October LIN regard to Irish
affairs the Daily Ms says: "a report
on the condition Of Ireland was made by
Forster, but we believe no decision was
taken by the Cabinet Council and none
was asked for. Forster does not believe
the present condition OF Ireland would be
bettered by the re-enactment OF peace
preservation measures. The government
will not be. counselled, frightened or de-
fed into any incousiderate or headlong
course. II Parnell really breaks the law
be will be prosecuted, but the government
will make no wild plupges US their prede-
cessorsd did. They have no passion for
State prosecution and are not likely to
commit any blunder in that way"
The Candahar question probably did
not come under consideration yesterday
in the Cabinet.

ignorant to know that our article did not

there was no occasion for him to class
himself with those Of bad character. but
at the same time we rather admire
his frankness and his desire TO set
himself right by Voluntarily placing
himself properly where he belonged.
His true character was fully shown In
his declaration that, "the Democrats

Hancock a. aLet,er wri,er.

General Hancock is worrying hii
party by his lettsr writing propensities
In accepting the nomination for the
Presidency he heartily endorsed the
fres trade platform Of his party and
every other declaration set forth In
that cAtch.vote document. He was
first troubled about some correspondents
ne had with General Sherman in re-
gard to seating Tilden In the Prssi'
dental chair, but the Published letters
we're no discredit 10 General Hancock.
Next he was troubled with the rebel
claims question, and another letter was
written placing himself squarsly in op-
position to the payment Of those claims.
rhe first to say Amen to this were the
sx.rsbsls who were pushing those same
rebel claims for payment. This rather
staggered the Northern Democracy, as
| it looked like col lusion between General
Hancock and Southern rebels upon the
principle Of "snything to beat the Re-
publioans." However, damaging the
results Of the last letter was ~ General
Hancock and his party, he was. not sat
isisd until he wrote enc on tbs tariff
question. He found that the free trade
principles which he had endorsed were
putting his party under and II some
thing was not done soon 1t would be
buried out Of sight. In this emergency
he took down his goose quill and pennsd
these remarkable words Of Democratic |
wisdom:
'The tariff question is local quss
tion. The same question was brought
up once in my native place in Pennsyl |
vania. 1t is q matter that the general
government seldom cares to interiors
with, and nothing is likely ever to be
done that will interfere with the in
dustries Of the country"
This was too much even for Dana
the editor of the New York Sun, that
great Democratic organ from which the
Democratic papers of this city draw
heir inspiration, and in his disgust he
advised that:
"The pen which wrote the last tariff
etter to Senator Randolph ought to De |
to the original GOOSE"
