The government party In the House OF Com
mons have resorUed TO an extreme measure In
order TO stop the flllibustering tactics OF the
Home rulers The immediate purpose of this
unusual ana summary proceeding was accom-
plished. but q precedent has been established
which may not only hereafter be used to plague
those who are responsible for the act, but it
may go further and cause serious trouble In
Parliamentary proceedings. When the Con-
servatives shall again come into bower and
the Irish question shall have been settled they
Will quite likely resort to the same extreme
now adopted by the liberals to cut on opposi-
ton on the part OF the larter to any important
measure Of the ruling party. The Speakers

IL is Just as well that Congress voted down
yesterday Mr.. Forts amendment to appropriate
s. 600 for the relief Of invalid persons and
those found begging On the streets" of Wash
fngton. When Mr. Fort said that there Is no
city in the country where there Is so much
street begging as here, he probably spoke truly;
but what he proposes as a relief for that evil
would undoubtedly prove to be an aggravation
rather than remedy. We already have more
than eur own share OF paupers here, and II It
were understood that Congress had appropri.
ated money for their support the city would soon
be oVerrun By fresh arrivals from every quarter
anxious 70 share the easily won spoils. IL Con-
gress would pass law requiring the Commis-
sioners 10 send TO the iBfirmary all really destt-
tute street beggars who are incapacitared by age
or disease from earning a livelihood and compel
those who are able TO do so to work on the
streets or elsewhere, something practical would
be accomplished in the right direction. What
is needed everywhere. and particularly In Wash
lngton, is the prevention Of street begging H.
stead Of the encouragement OF that rapidly In
creas'ng aud apparently profitable Industry.

Desiring not to do any injustice to Mr.. Engi-
neer Eads. THE STAR allowed him to respond In
his own way yesterday to paragraph whica
appeared In ITS columns couple of days before
touching the Jetty pass at the mouth of the
Mississippi river. There Is no occasion for vast
Ing space In the discussion Of the point involved,
but the careful reader could hardly fail to
observe that, while pretending to reply to 1t,
Mr.. Eads really did not answer a single alle9a-
ton made In the quoted statement OF the pilot
TO which exception was taken. Whether or not
vessels drawing % TO Is feet must be and are
loaded IN q particular way at New Orleans in
order to be able TO go out OF the river without
grounding, involving q shifting Of the cargo
afterward, Is matter that can be very easily
demonstrated without discussion in the news
papers That was the point raised by the irrev-
erent pilot, and neither the animus of the
Memphis Avalanche ON the general subject of
1etties lor the condition OF New York harbor
has anything whatever to do with it Nj. Eads'
gun scatters TOO much, 80 to speak.

THE COLLISION BETWEEN BENTON

no sooner given by tho latter than there

in that direction, and all members
seemsd anxious TO gain the spot where
Benton was roaring aud struggling to
get away from as many men as could
get hold of him, his coat torn back
from his shoulders, and he trying to
leave it in the hands of his captors. In
spite of all they could do he got into
the space around the seats, and nude

the fox stood, on the edge ofthe middle
aisle, near the door. Nobody held
Foote, or tried to hold h'm. Indeed.
he seemed to bo forgotten, and stood
craa;ng his ns ck to keep an eye on the
enemy, until it scrtmol as il Benton
would get away from the whole crowd
and though tho FIST filing space be-
tive en- them, leaving his coat behind
him, when the doughty little man
started at double quick down the aisle
toward the speaker's desk, drawing. out

he ran he looked over his left shoulder
and backward with pale face, and

CONFEDERATE WAR RECORDS.
tNcw Orleans Democrat. 1

Now Orleans DCmOcrat.1
\ reporter of tho Atlanta Constitu-
tion had an interview the other day
with Gen. Marcus J. Wright, who is
employed by the Federal Government
TO collect tho Confederate war records,
Gen Wright announced that he had
nearly all the necessary papers in
good order, and would be able to pres
cnt IS fu't a Confe icratc account of the
war as the Federal records. IIc had
found no difficulty in collecting all the
papers he desired, and the officers of
tho Confedcracy had not cvinccd the
slightest hesitation in intrusting their
records TO him.
Gen. Wright coirec's many popu-
lar errors concerning the late war.
lie finds that at the first battle of
Manassas, where it Was generally be-
licvcl tho Federal forces exceeded the
Confederate two to one, that the
armies were very nearly equal in point
of numbers. As to the comparative
number of men in the field, through
out the war, however, the showing is
decidedly in favor OF the Confcdcr-
atcs. The Union forces numbered
100000, while the Confederate troops
did not exec I'll 100000.
Gen. Wright says there cannot be
the slightest doubt that Gen. Ices re.
ports were without comparison. the
clcanest and best. OF the Cavalry
Generals Whcclcr's were by far the
best. On the Federal side he gives tho
palm to Lincoln, whose papers were
all prepared by himself, and these fill
Cd him with amazcment and admira
ton of Lincoin's ability. The othc,
Generals, whom he praises for thei,
reports, are Gen. Hardec, and Gen
McClernand for his account of the bat
| tie of Shiloh.

INTEMPERANCE IN ENGLAND.-The
temperance movement appears to be
making real impression on the
consumption of alcoholic drinks in
England. In the Times recently
Mr.. Hoyle has shown that the cen
sumption of beer, wine aud spirits
during the year 1880 has diminished
by nearly $4,000, 900 from what it
was in 1879, and of this nearly the
whole has been saved III beer alone.
On the other hand, the consumption
of British spirits has rather increas-
edthough the consumption of foreign
spirits has diminished more than the
former has increased. If these fig
ures may be trusted, the improve
ment is rather in the greater tenn
pelance of non-spirit drinkers than
in the conversion of regular dram
drinkers. For the extinguishing of
the latter class we must look chiefly
to death, and the improved educa-
ton, which may prevent the places
of drinkers from being supplied with
new drinkers as they drop out
