ETThe Gladstone government In
England has attempted to solve the diff.
ficulties put in the way of Irish pacif.
cation by the pig-headedness of Par.
nell and the other Home Rule leaders,
by thrusting them between prison walls.
Naturally the Irish are exceedingly
wrought up by this treatment of their
leaders, and threaten terrible things
and have attempted to hold public
meetings to express their Indignation
and perhaps take action, but the Brit.
ish government has adopted the policy
of suppressing all these demonstra.
tions by armed force where necessary
1t is difficult to see what Ireland is to
gain bya continuapce of the agitation.
An acceptance and fair trial of the
great reforms enacted in the Land Bill
would seem the only sensible thing TO
do. The English government certainly
cannot be forced nor persuaded, and
indeed it would be exceedingly I'M
wise for them, to give up their hold on
Ireland. 1.-THE Irish cannot accept the
benefits offered them without first al
lowing foolish and irresponsible lead
ers to plunge the island into confusion
and bloodshed, if they are determined
to regard the English government as
alien and hostile, there can be little
sympathy felt for them if unpleasant
and disastrous consequences follow.

Letter from Washington.
EDITOR REGisTER:

Washington has been very lively
place during the past week, or more
Tho noatius nf the Senate naturally
drew many strangers here. Then
came the French and German guests
and lastly numbers of military organi.
cations on their way to Yorktown.
The Frenchtdelegation numbers thirty
seven, the German about half that num-
Der. They are fine looking body OF
men, although one conld not help no
ticing while they were being presented
to the President and Senate that the
Americans with whom they mingled
on the Senate floor were generally tai
Ter then the French, while the Ger
mans were less in stature than either.
They are expecting to return on Satur-
day, when they will again be dined
and wined to their hearts content.
This reminds me that it is reported
that the Germans are early risers, out
enjoying the early morning sun, while
their Gallo brethren enjoy q good
morning nap, often not appearing at
breakfast until near twelve O'Clock.
What change in the appearance OF
this city within few pays. A little
more than q week since, and nearly
every building, public and private,
was heavily draped, constantly remind
ing one of the nations great sorrow,
now from all are gay colors flying,
each seeming to vie with the other In
the attempt to make the most gorgeous
display. American, French and Ger.
man flags are to be seen Ia all direc-
tons, and Pennsylvania Avenue in
particular presents very gay appear
ance.
The pyrotechnic display Saturday
night is said TO have been the finest
ever seen in Washington. Some of the
larger pieces were fixed from the top
of Washington monument. Two at
tempts have been made to illuminate
Pennsylvania Avenue with the electric
light, but have proved entire failures.
1t is now announced that every thing
will be in or'ler, and to night there
will be no failure.
Yesterday, Governor Long of Mas
sachusetts, accompanied by his staff
and some three hundred Boston Ca
diets, were guests of the city. Gill
more's band was In attendance, and
as the Cadets, escorted by the WASH
ington Light Infantry corps, marched
the streets, their fine appear
ance and military bearing caused many
complimentary remarks.
The president, acting vice president,
nearly all the cabinet, and many of the |
senator's have gone TO Yorktown.
But little has been done
In the Senate except acting |
upon the nominations sent In |
by the President from day TO day.
Whether a secretary will be elected
during the extra session Is a moeted |
question. 1t is thought an adjourn
ment will be effected next week.
Whatever else may be said ofPresident
pro tenn. Davis, no one can deny that
he fills the chair to its utmost capa-
,ity. H.F.C.

Ex-senator Dayard, whom the DEM

power had placed in the succession to

bullet should take of President Ar

land regained their rightful majority,
at once proceeded to right the wrong
perpetrated by the Democrats by GUST
inc Ravard and electing Senator David
Davis, of Illinois. This was perhaps a
polite thing to do, but the Republicans
might have done better by electing q
good Republican, like Anthony, of
Rhode Island. However, the bulky In
dependent party in the seat of the pre-
siding officer of the Senate is better
than Bayard, who, whatever his good
qualities, has shown on moro than one
occasion, that he is as ready as any one
to sacrifice justice and common sense
to secure partisan advantages.

and his style tasteless except TO thos
who, even in maturity, prefer the milk
diet of babes to meat that is meant for
men. Holland, as a writer, was unually
fluent, facilc and fat, about up to the
level as q thinker with the female novel
ist of the Ledger type.-[Rutland
Herald, Oct. II.
We waste little of our space in quo
ting The Rutland Herald editors esti-
mate of DR.. Holland, for the reason
that it is such capital complication
of the Herald mans style. There IS no
one who will claim for DIR. Holland
very lofty place in literature; we. are
not aware that he pretended to any
such. But writer who has charmed
and beni flied so many thousands. is
not to be assigned to his rightful place
in the history of literature of-hand
"while you wait" nor are his readers
necessarily band of "namby.pamby
sc ntimentalists" because they have al
lowed themselves to be pleased by his
writings. But the Herald man is
nothing if not critical, and in his capac-
ity of professionally iconoclasthe attacks
DR.. Holland, who never did him any
harm that we are aware of, like crazy
bull. We think our readers will agree
that such slyness Of turgid and
bombastic nonsense uttered with such
an air of omniscience gazing down up
on gaping world from astraddle the
ridgepole of a hogpen, can only be par
allied in other Herald editorials. There
is the same air ofrecklessly wastingval
liable opinions upon the world, the
same foolish assumption of editorial in
fallibility of judgment that is so ridicu
lousy apparent in all he says, whether
he critics college education, the medi-
> cal trcatmentof President Garfield, civi
. service reform, or any other subject o
which he is so blankly ignorant as t
excite the ridicule of sensible men
Doubtless the Herald editor reall,
thinks that this long drawn out ant
malignant string of silly bombast
!, this hurting of rhetorical rotten squash
cs at the dead man, who could uttel
more sense In a sentence than tn
Herald man can in column, is go
ing to settle the popular estimate o
b DR.. Holland as an author; but to PEG
0 pie who are capable of forming jus
!. opinions it, like his illumination
against the doctors, is simply anothe
t illustration Of the saying, "Fools rusl
n in where angels fear TO tread"

RWe judge from the lofty style of
comment which the Democratic and
"Independent" papers indulge in re-
gayding Senator Edmund's narrow and
partisan characteristics, that his little
remark about "taking chances in the
lottery of assassination" hit them
where they felt it. The trouble with
Senator Edmunds is that he is too
great a man to be Democrat or an as
sistant Democrat. lie believes that
the people should rule, and that when
they have decided that the presidency
shall be administered by one party,
they ought not 10 be cheated ont OF
their choice by trickery of the other
party.

Lucius BsglOw on DIR. j. G.. Holland.

Doctor j. G. Holland, the popular au.
thor, died suddenly at New York on
Wednesday morning of heart disease
The deceased aspired to be poet, q
novelist and moral essayist; he made
his books like Hodges razors, TO sell
they did sell, sold as rapidly as the New
York Ledger, and for the same reason,
viz, they were redolent of kind OF
mandy PANTY, rancid sentimentalism
he was sort of Mary Jane Holmes in
breeches; and his writings are enjoyed
by that large class of people who take
great comfort in the enunciation of
moral axioms and that sort of senti-
mental, pietistic platitudes that are
always placed in the mouth of the ira
ditional good boy in the Sunday school
book, when he rcbukes his wicked
brother for prigging preserves, stealing
gooseberries and striking wildly at the
historical cherry tree with his little
hatchet. Holland has been happily
termed the Topper of America. Doctor
Robert Lowell, some years ago, gave q
scathing review of his writings In the
North American Review, and put him
down as a pretentious moraiist who
could not write good English, and did
not go beyond sentimental gush.
DIR. Robert Lowell has described HoI-
land accurately; he was not an artist in
style, and his thoughts, whenever he
had any, were exceedingly thin and
tawdry. He was master of the "goody
goody" school of writers; he chronicled
the small beer ethics of social life, and
sucked his readers OF both sexes on a
sort Of Well-bred sentimentalism that

termed "woven air." 1t is made only
for kings daughters. So short is The

one ounce avoirdupois often, it is ex-

who was banishcd from Decca because

A Louisville boy, the SON of Prof.
Zeller. has invented wonderful
electric clock. The principle that Mas
ter Zeller adopts is OF similar nature
TO that of lloudin, but improved in its
application. The battery, quite an
ordinary one, winds up the clock CONT
nuously, and supplies the lost motive
power to the pendulum. All that is
necessary in attending to the clock is to
apply battery power, such for instance
as is employed in ordinary telegraphy,
and the clock will continue to run for
six or even II months. The size of the
clock is of little Importance. Strange
as 1t may appear, large clock really
uses less electricity than a small one,
owing to the resistance offered in the
magnetic coils.

Oliver johnson, formerly editor OF
the Christian Union, who now calls
himself liberal Unitarian, preached a
few Sundays ago by request in the
Congregational church at Peacham, Vt.
The doctrines which he enunciated did
not please the people, and they passed
resolutions accusing Mr.. johnson of
"standing in the pulpit and casting
contempt upon the word of God and
the blood of his Son." This language,
Mr.. johnson says In a letterto the st.
Johnsbury Caledonian, is an explosion
of priestly and sectarian rhetoric as Inn
potent as it is false.

TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.-The
system OF the child takes in the seeds of

therefore parents should exercise great

in the system. DIR. N. G.. Whites Pull
