IRELAND.

| What are we going to do with Ireland
is the matter at present most troubling the
English Government The idea of obtain
ing peace by fair treatment, of earning
quiet by justice, by compelling cheerful
| obedience by the enactment of laws whose
equity necessitate it; seems never to enter
its mind. 1t wants Ireland to repent and
yet gives it no ground for repentance; it
asks for the cessation of rebellion in Ire
| land and yet persists in a course which
would turn very stones into rebels: it cries
out to Irishmen you are guilty of treason
and yet refuses them every incentive to
patriotism.
Truly Ireland is thorn in England's
side and yet strange to say Irishmen seem
to take delight in the pricking. Law is not
broken and yet law is void; there is no
armed resistance and still no Roadway can
be made; Ireland is presumably quiet and
for all that, agitation goes on. Every en-
deavor that England makes to avoid this
state is atrocious, but nevertheless futile,
The coercion act had no effect and the i'm
prisonment of the suspects was as useless.
That last is motive which is worth the
attention Of Americans. These men were
guilty of no crime; they had done nothing
for which any grand jury could indict
them, any court find them.guilty; there was
no law In the land which they had violat-
ed, no criminal deed they had committed.
But they had used their right of free
speech; they had been convicted Of the
heinous offense of speaking their mind;
they he'd seen defects in the law of their
country and had pointed them out, had
dared make their outspoken protest against
| a system that was destroying their peoples
life and property. This was their offense
and for this they are being punished.
They are suspected forsooth of persuading
some one else to encourage some other
persons to intimidate some indefinite
fourth parties to commit some equally in
definite acts which shall initiate against
the peace and prosperity of the lords of
the land and make it difficult for them to
extort from the tenants quite the usual
overcharge of rent, for them to spend in
other lands. The whole thing was mere
pretense; hopeless attempt to destroy an
organization. whose influence is feared by,
imprisoning the leaders and using gag
law among its members. The Land
League was not SO easily destroyed,
and not only in Ireland does
its branches exist, but they are COM
mon in England, and there are few coun-
ties in America that do not possess at
least one. It is impossible to teach Amer
leans that free speech is criminal; and q
county that in its first official document
declared the holy right Of rebellion will
hardly quarrel with Ireland for the attitude
she has now taken. IL England viii not
give Ireland full and just laws, she has the
right to make her own, and America viii
never say her nay.

but when the democratic com ress proposed
to create three and a half Per cent bonds
heppposed its tooth and naiI used every
opportanits he had to figlit. the project
and used his influence with Mr.. Hayes to
have him veto the bill when passed. Sher-
mans whole course during the dc yaet9
administrator was to contest the issue OF
these lower interest bonds and with the
aid OF Mr. Hayes he was successful in
defeating their Issuance, which a demo
cratic. congress had voted for. Asa con-
sequence when Window took charge
he found, as the Union says, ga
vast amount of public debts becom-
ing due and payable before the
time for Congress to assemble" The Dason
said this wesl because democratic Con
gress had adjourned without providing for
it. which statement is not true; that Con-
gress had provided for it, but John Sher-
man had rendered that provision nugatory
by persuading Mr. Hayes to interposc his
veto. Mr.. Windeln at once followed out
the very course which that democratic
Congress had recommended, and on his
own authority issued three and half
per cent. bonds fer the purpose of refund
ing, thus followingseut the exact course
Congress had voted in favor of, but Mr..
Hayes had vetoed. This plan Secretary
Taylor proposes to follow up, and SO states
in his report
But now comes John Sherman and en-
tirely changes front; but short time ago
he opposed the issue OF three and half
per cent. now he advocates lower interest
but he proposes fixed time of payment,
while the "Windoms" can be called at any
time. President Arthur has approved this
plan which Mr.. Hayes refused to give his
assent too. and it is probable that Mr.
Shermans new plan viii hardly meet with
favor. .7isftr. gofI.- a4f it-s

SHERMAN VIZ WINDOW.

The Rock Island Union is wonderful
paper when friends its mighty intellect
down to the consideration of our national
finances. It may bethat the Union con-
siders the subject too trifIng to be accurate
about, for the statements in its article of
last Saturday certainly were as void of ell
truth. or semblance thereof, as well could
be; whether these statements were inspired
by ignorance or were the result of delibers
ate Justification Is hard guessing, although
it ID but simple justice to the Union to put
it on the former ground.

ury was the author of the four per cents.

b Nine years ago, in the face of hot oppe
sition, and running against an exceedingly
popular candidate Judge Craig, of Gales
burg, was chosen as a Judge of the Hi
nois Supreme Court. He was called al
that time the granger" candidate although
party lines We're eliminated as far as pos
sible from the contest, and the election
was conducted as having in view simply
the fitness of the candidates. The result
of that election has been amply endorsed
by the qualifications Judge Craig has
shown for the position, and praise of his de-
cisions has been universal. He will again be
a candidate for reelection aad will undouht-
edly receive full support. He will not go
into the canvass as the. nominee of any
party, and it is probable that his opponents
for the position will adopt the same course.
Such procedure will remove from the
contest that enemy to the purity of judi
cial ermine, political influences; and viii
make fitness for the position, as it should
be, the sole test.
In regard to this matter the Chicago
Ecening journal says:
at will be nine years in June next since
the election of Judge Craig, of Galesburg,
as Judge of the Illinois state supreme
court. The election for his successor viii
take place on the first Monday in June.
He will be candidate for re election, and
Mr.. Bull, a well known lawyer of Ottawa,
will also be a candidate. Judge Craig's
friends, who include many of the leading
members of the bar of the state, think he
should be and will be retained in the po-
sition which he fills so we'll
And in reference to this last statement,
the Peoria National Democrat adds: 1--WE
are glad to see such papers as the Chicago
Journal speak so complimentary OF Judge
Craig. who has without doubt proven his
eminent ability as jurist and thorough
qualifications for the high position to which
the people honored him nine years ago.
Fitness for this position alone should be
the test and judging from the tone of the
press of the district, it will be adhered to
in this contest.
Judge McColloch, of this city, will be a
candidate for the position, and, while We
have had no interview with him or with
Judge Craig as to their desires how they
should be brought out, We undertake to
say for them that they are willing to go
before the voters of the district on their
own merits and leave it to the people of
the district which shall have the place.

AWEsTERN OPINION.

The Peoria Freeman. commenting on a
recent article in the ARGUS, urging "a tariff
for revenue only" as the basis Of the dem
ocratic platform, says:
This is the democratic idea; none other
will suit the mass of the party. If demo
Gratis in the east are in favor Of a high
tariff to protect manufactures, they will
find themselves mistaken in the result"
