Gladstone on ParneII and Ire
land.

Premier Gladstone made a speech
at Leeds on Friday last which has
stirred the English people consid-
erably, and elected much favorable
comment from the leading American
journals. He explained the liberal for
eign policy as consisting of two main
principles: "That every foreign coun-
try should be credited with the same
good motives as ourselves until it
showed the contrary, and that every
power was entitled to the same rights
and privileges, irrespective of size"
There was much to be done, he said, i'll
altering and modifying the land laws
of England and Scotland, but the cir
cumstances in these parts are not
those of Ireland. He argued that the
depression of trade proceeded from de-
creased purchasing power. He calcu-
lated that between 1873 and 1880 the
country had lost f24,OOO,OOO on her
export trade, but as much as t l0O, 600,
600 from bad harvests. Referring to
the fair-trade league, he said that some
persons complained about the Ameri-
can tariffs. America sent us 5000,
900 worth of manufactures, while we
sent to America from ESQ, 900 to
f40, 900, 900 worth. Fair traders want
ed America to cease to be our custom
ers to this amount. More unfair
leaguers he never knew. He condemn
ed in plain terms Parnell's doctrine OF
plumber, saying: "Mr. Parnell is very
cOpious i'll his references to America
but in all those references he has never
found time to utter a word of disap-
prevail about the assassination litera
ture of that country, which is not Amer
lean literature. Americans scOrn
spurn and lOathe it." Further scath
ing denunciations of Parnell followed
and, abiding to agrarian crime, Mr.
Gladstone said: "What would hap
pen in England if crime proved beyond
the exertiOns of the officers of the law
Vast multitudes of loyal citizens wOulC
array themselves i'll support of the law
But no such thing is heard of in Ire
land. General cowardice seems t.
prevail among all classes who possess
property, and the government is ex
pected to preserve peace with no mora
force behind them. That is grea
scandal and evil for Ireland, and unit
Che evil is removed the condition o
Ireland will not be thoroughly healthy .

Our New York Letter.

New YORK, Oct. Z, 1881.
We have had il Convention, dele
gates for once having deserted their
time honored country resorts for the
delights of Gotham, and they have been
welcomed 10y an eager and Il nipping
air, akin to their normal dispositions.
Straw hats and busters proved slight
protection against tumbling ther
mometer, and consequently tumblers of
hot punch and ground and lofty politi
cal tumbling, seasoned with full flavor
ed language, were in order. The pro
ceedings of the Convention were har
monious, and the lamb lay down with
the lion inside the lion. Some say the
lamb has cut its eye-teeth. and will
prove indigestible. Can any of your
readers judge from the foregoing re-
marks what party held Il Convention 3?
Eleven English cricketers have ar
rived, and lost no time in making
things warm for their opponents in the
manly game here. The day after they
landed, quite a warm day, too, they be
gan trOuncing the Philadelphians, beat
ing them at the close of two days
fight by one inning and l04 runs, and
then they sailed in, in weather that
would freeze the tail of milk mans
private pump, to knock smithereens
out of the New Workers. Cricket is
certainly a grand game, but hardly
suitable for October. | wonder it isn't
more popular here. 1t is very sOcia-
bic, and brings classes and sexes to-
gether in pleasant way that nothing
else seems to do, and it is, compare
lively, inexpensive. British officers
and private soldiers, or British noble
men and hodcarriers, play cricket to-
gether pleasantly without at all lead
ing to assumption or undue familiarity
off the field.
The French descendants of Wash
ingtOn's Gallo assistants in the bot
Ting up of CORVALLIS, have arrived
and express themselves highly delight
ed with their reception and the ele-
gance of their accommodations, and
the aspect generally of New York. The
life in the streets, with the elevated
and other cars, and well-dressed
crowds is a novelty to those visiting
from even beautiful Paris. Indeed up
town New York is comparable to Paris,
and, filthy as downtown is, it is not
| filthier than the business districts of
the capital of France, or even dirty old
London. The trouble is that here you
can't move from one section of the city
to another, or across the ferries, with
out passing through some very Offens-
i've quarters, while the aristOcratic
jewellers in London or Paris can drive
about all day in handsome streets and
never see anything Objectionable. The
merchants who deal in grain, stocks,
coal, iron, &C., &c, in Gracechurch
and Fenchurch streets, Mark Lane and
so forth, in little cobwebby by 9
offices can't very well turn up their
noses at even the muddiest parts of
Water and Front streets.

The Special Session.

The special session of the Senate as
sembled on Monday last, and the Dem
ocrats, refusing to allow the new Re
publican Senators-elect to take part in
the organization, proceeded to elect
Senator Bayard of Delaware President
pro TEN. Senator Edmunds presented
the credentials of Senators-elect AL
drich, Lapham and Miller, and moved
that the oath be administered to them
by the senior member of the Senate,
Mr. Anthony. Had this been done the
Democracy's little game would have
been blocked, so they very promptly
voted down Mr.. Edmunds' motion, and
the business was done without the aid
of the three gentlemen named. The
Democrats of the Senate were deter
mined on Bayard's election, by fair
means or foul and if Mr.. Edmunds
method of admitting the new Senators
was constitutional, it is evident the
democracy adopted the foul means OF
gaining their object, and there will be
chance for contest. 1t was the only
chance they have had for twenty five
years, and they could not resist the
temptation. An amendment by Sena-
tor Edmunds-to the effect that Bay
ard serve as President pro ten. fol
that day only, so that the new Sena-
tors could take part in electing a per
manent presiding otficer-was lost by
"A vote of ;}3 to "a, n close shave. One
thing is certain with the newly elect
ed Senators in their seats, the Republic
can side of the Senate will be able t.
see that the business of that body il
done as it should be, and have tn,
power to remove Bayard and put theil
own candidate in his place. What
seems to be a Democratic advantage
now may turn out to the contrary
within the near future.
The latest advices show that Aldrich
Lapham and Miller have been sworI
in, and the Republicans have ma
jority, with a chance to undo the worl
of the Democrats if they choose. Their,
are rumors and rumors afloat as t,
the Republican programme, one t.
the effect that David Davis will de
cline election as President pro TEN
and will not vote at all on the election
of that officer if the matter is brough
up again. In that case the Republican,
would be even more free to carry ou
their own sweet will. They claim
and fairly too, that the Presidency o
the Senate belongs to them, and ar
not disposed to question the election o
II Democratic Secretary. The hast!
action of the Democrats will not b,
allowed to pass unnOticed.

and we believe the influence of this
part of his life will bear fruit in future
among those who shall be called to
such positions as he occupied. If so,
the nation will have double cause to
hold him in grateful remembrance.
Garfield, in common with all men,
was not perfect. But his sturdy man
hood, the breadth and depth of his
character, his tenderness. his charity,
his firmness in unfolding principle,
and his Christian bravery in the midst
of political strife, are qualities all too
rare among our public men, and can
not be too earnestly dwelt upon and
held up as worthy of general imitation,
With such qualities dominant in the
hearts of those in authority, there is
safety for our nation. Without them,
there is no avoidance of corruption i'll
high places. The people will always
be ready to honor the Gartields, and
condemn those of a baser metal.

A Life Worth Study.


The more one considers the life and
character of the late James A. Garfield,
the more worthy of contemplation do
they appear. The opinion expressed
by Judge Poland in recent speech
that no man in the history of this ma
ton was more thoroughly versed in
affairs of government and in all mat
tiers of political economy than Garfield
is pretty generally acquiesced in.
But it is not only to his career as a
public man that we would call atten-
ton but to his whole life, from its
humble beginning to its tragic end.
Setting aside all party questions, all
political atiinities and prejudices, and
Judging him in all candOr, James A.
Garfield was a remarkable man, and
his life was fraught with lessons which
old and young can learn with profit.
There was nothing unreal and theatric
about his existence. 1t was marked
by no peculiarly Out-of- the-way events
which suddenly turned cOuntry's eyes
upon him and made him the lion of
the day. 1t was IL sober, earnest life,
full of hardships which he valiantly
fought against, and in spite of which
he gradually rose to eminence and
made himself name which will not
he forgotten. 1t was such IA life as our
American institutions foster filed
with such opportunities as our repub-
lican form of government puts in the
way of every industrious and we'll dis
posed boy.
What are some of the lessons to be
learned from President Garfeld's life
As boy he was not afraid of poverty
He thought it no disgrace. 1t stimu-
lated him to more earnest effort on his
own behalf and he was bound to over
come it. Others have allowed it to
crush them, and have missed position
and influence because of the lack OF
that force of will which enabled him al
length to get the mastery. He saw the
advantages of education. He believed
it worth all the struggle through which
he must go To obtain it. He made the
trial-and won. When a faithful pen
picture of Gartield's early life shall be
put before the young men of this coun-
try-when they shall study it carefully
they will find i'll it great deal that
is worth copying into their own lives
His industry and perseverance, his
tilial love and devotion tn the interests
of his home, may profitably be taken
as examples.
To "boys of larger growth one
lesson of Garfield's life is that states
man can be a Christian-th politics
and adherence to party principles dc
not necessarily crowd out allegiance tc
the Great Ruler of nations, in whose
sight the wisdom of the wisest Leaders
is but foOlishness. The results of Gar
fields political life, the devotion of his
own immediate constituents and the
admiration for him of the whole cOun-
try, prove that it pays, in every point
of view, to be Christian statesman

A PhiIanthrOpist Dead.

Henry F. Durant, lawyer, philan-
thropist, business man, and preacher,
died recently at Wellesley, Mass. OF
his early life little is known, save that
he was born in Vermont. He gradual
ted from Harvard college in the class
of 1912, and then entered the law
school, from which he also graduated
later on. As to when he was born
there is no precise date. Subsequent
ly he left the bar and became Il manu-
facturer, and soon after having become
converted, he concluded that he would
build and endOw college where fe-
males who We're poor, and struggling
to obtain Il superior education, could
have their noble ambition gratitied.
When this project was matured, Mr..
Durant went deliberately to work to
carry it out. 1t took several years to
complete it, and, when completed, as
it now stands, is one of the best laid
out and most thoroughly ventilated
and well appointed of any college
building i'll the country. 1t ought to,
indeed, be nearly perfect, for it cost
about 81 ,000,000 to build and equip it,
and from the period of its opening, in
September, 1873, to the present time,
has cost its generous benefdctor mt
least so, 600 year. 1t is a noble life
work, and will stand for ages as a
monument to the unseltish generosity
of man who may have been miSiudg
ed in his time, but whose noble pur-
pose in the establishment of this col
Iege should never be called into ques-
ton. After the death of his son Mr..
Durant became ii religious and Jealous
Christian. He preached and held re-
vivals at various times and places and
is said to have been a most eloquent
eXpOunder of the Word.

ton will be taken by many as sign
that he will not be such a power be-
hind Arthur's throne as has been fear
ed. We hope this will prove to be the
case, but it il not good plan to be too
sanguine in that regard.
Defeat for the machine" in New
York means encouragement for those
who are fighting the 'machine" in other
states. If the independent and sober
minded Republicans in the Empire
state can overcome the ring and boss
methods, we may look for like results
elsewhere. Success in convention is
not necessarily victory i'll an election,
we are aware but it is a good omen at
which the people will rejoice.

political revolution which made John
p. Hale the first free soil L. s. Senator
in 1876 and sent Amos Tuck to Con-
gress This action led to the breaking
up of the democratic party in the state,
and the formation of the "know moth
ing" which was afterward merged into
the republican organization. In con-
sideratiOn of his long services in behalf
of freedom President Lincoln made him
minister to Switzerland, where he serv-
ed from 1861 to 1865. He was an eX-
cellent journalist and a marked man.

Defeat for the "Machine."

The Republicans of New York state
are to be congratulated ON the result
of their recent convention, which de-
serves more than a passing notice be-
cause it amounted to defeat for that
Obtrusive and unpopular machine"
method of politics, which has brought
so much evil upon the country and will
continue to do so unless it is summari-
ly checked. In spite of Conkling's eff
fort in his own behalf, he and his
friends were promptly sat upon by the
"half-breeds," and the ex-boss was not
able to do a great deal in the way of
retrieving his political fortunes. This
fact of his failure to boss the conven-
