 In the House of Commons to night the Home Rulers continued the debate on the Irish question. Sir Stafford Northcote ex- plained the Governments proposals. MT. Plunkett caused much excitement by scath- ing attack on the Parnellites. He said Mr. Parnell had publicly thanked God for the rain for rotting the potatoes and poisoning the food, because agitation was advanced thereby. MT. Parnelrs object, he said, was to excite the people to bloody rebellion. MT. ODonnell, Home Rule member for Dungarvan. gave MT. Plunkett the lie, and appealed to the Speaker who called Plunkett to order. The debate was then adjourned.

The bids were referred to the Committee on School Buildings with power to contract with the lowest bidders.
 MT. Sweeney said there was a matter of considerable importance to the district before the Legislature, and as Superintendent Parish had been to Hartford on the matter he would like to hear from him.
 MT. Parish said he was not on the commit tee, but was invited in by the chairman. He understood the bill was designed for the pro- motion of the better education of teachers throughout the State.
 Hartford on the subject some time since, but took no notice of it at the time. As the mat ter had now assumed shape he would read a letter that he had received. He then read the letter, which stated the objects of the bill to be to take the appointment of teachers out of the hands of the present Boards of Educs- tion in the larger cities, and appoint county examining boards for the examination of the qualifications of teachers. MT. Sweeney said it appeared to him that the measure was a wrong one, and it would be kind of star chamber which would be run in the interest of politics. He thought it strange that the superintendent of the school district should go to Hartford and advocate the measure with out advice or consultation with the Board of Education.
 Mir. Gile said he had heard something of this matter at the time it came up, but had not gwen It much thought until It came up before the Legislature. He thought that while there was an improvement needed as to teachers in the country schools yet any inter- ference with the New Haven system was to be deprecated.
 MT. Osborne said he had not heard of the bill before, but he agreed with MT. Gile and Mir. Sweeney, that any law that would inter- fere with the methods of New Haven schools was greatly to be deplored
 Mir. Bushnell said people were always run ming to the Legislature for the passage of some act to suit their pet ideas. If such a bill had been introduced, something should be done without delay to prevent it's passage, provided it was going to interfere with the educational interests of New Haven in any way.
 MT. Welch said he was decidedly opposed to any one going to Hartford with bill in their pocket to legislats for the city of New Haven without any authority from the people.
 MT. Osborne presented the following reso- Iution which was adopted unanimously
 Voted, That our Senator and Representa- tives in the General Assembly be requested to go before the Committee on Education ard urge that the New Haven City School District be excepted from the operation of any pro- posed bill for the appointment of County Board of Examiners of teachers. Adjourned.

The New York World pertinently
remarks that in electing Garfield to
the United States Senate the Ohio Re
publicans shave chosen the ablest man
and cleverest politician entered by
them for the prize. Mr.. Garfeld's
talents no one can refuse to recognize,
and he has served his party faithfully.
Mr.. Stanley Matthews, in all other re-
spects at least Mr.. Garfield's peer, has
never acquired any real hold on his
party, and the perpetual Republican
candidate who counts that year lost in
which he does not have a nomination of
some sort, Mr.. Alphonso Taft, is man
of small calibre and less independence.
Mr.. Dennison, though perhaps not so
able man as Mr.. Garfield, has 80
much better "record" that his failure
TO carry off the honor will be regretted
by citizens whose only interest is to
see each party put its most creditable
foot. steadily forward. Mr.. Garfeld's
name has been too closely associated

of the Grant epoch for non-partisan
people to regard his nomination with
complacency. while the weakness he
displayed last summer, when he either

self to be cajoled or bullied out Of
speaking it, does not encourage the
hope that in the Senate he will be
anything but what he has been in the
House-at his best a clever, active,
alert and not very candid partisan.
Mr.. Garfeld's anxiety to get into the
Senate, by the way, Is curiously incon-
sistent with his reported belief that
the next House will elect a Republi-

Mr.. LIE Due, Commissioner of Ag-
rieulture at Washington, wants his
Bureau converted into an Executive
Department, and its official head dig
niiied as a cabinet officer. What adj
vantage will accrue, or how it will ad-
vance the agricultural interests Of the
country to place the official bead OF
this office in the cabinet rs one of the
political family of the President, we
cannot conceive. Perhaps our vision
may be obtuse, but we have an idea
that good practical common sense uni
ted to thorough knowledge of the in
terests intended to be fostered, as far
removed from the wrangles of party
and cares of succession as possible, is
more desirable. Mr.. lie Due may pos,
sess these qualities in an eminent de-
gree. If so, his direct association with
all the other interests of the govern
ment and of party, will only cripple
his usefulness in the promotion of the
great interest, for which large expen-
ditnres are annually made, and which
the new departure would greatly in-
crease. We are in favor of letting
"well enough alone"
