The Irish Crisis.
present,

Premier Gladstone has precipitated
crisis in the Irish question by author
izing the arrest of Parnell, the chief of
the Land Leaguers, who has been in
citing the people of Ireland to resist
the payment of rents and fair trial of
the land law recently passed by Par
lament. The arrest of Parnell was a
bold step, but Mr.. Gladstone looks on
it as IA necessary move, and expects the
people of England to sustain him in it.
Not only has the government laid a
heavy hand on the chief agitatOr, but
several other prominent leaders were
arrested on Saturday, including Mr..
Sexton, John Dillon, Arthur OConnor
Healy, James O'Kelley, a member of
Parliament, VIM. O'Brien, editor of the
United IriShmdn, and others. The
Irish people are much excited over the
matter, and the friends of Parnell and
against the action of the government,
and several bloody riots have already
occurred. What the outcome will be
can only be coniectured but we fear
England will have IL serious time with
her Irish subjects before this perpleX-
ing question can he settled. And it
looks as if it never would be settled till
Ireland is free or completely subdued
by force of arms.
The New York Herald, commenting
on this crisis, says: "While there will
he universal expressions of regret that
in IA free constitutional country it has
been necessary for a liberal minister to
arrest n member of Parliament, it is
difficult to see how Mr.. Gladstone could
have avoided the responsibility. Mr..
Parnell has challenged the crown again
and again to exercise the powers
vOuchsated 10 it by the British Parlia-
ment. The effect of this challenge has
been to stimulate the disorderly classes
i'll Ireland to outrage and revolution"
MIR. GladStOne's tirmness has been
warmly commended by other leading
journals in this country and England.

In the death of DIR. j. G. Holland,
which occurred at New York city on
last week Wednesday, the literary
world loses an author and editor whose
writings have had pure and health
full influence in many households ever
since he took up the pen. DIR. Holland
was born in Belchertown, Mass, in
1919, and graduated from medical col
lege in 1874. With literary tastes, he
contributed articles to several popular
magazines, and for a while in lS47 pub
lished literary periodical at Spring
field, Mass. He was pecuniarily in
terested in the Springfield Republican
for several years, and did much to
make that paper "a success. His "Bit-
ter Sweet" ''Kathrina," "Arthur Bon
nicastle," ''NichOlas Minturn,n and
"GOld Foil, with numerous otherworks,
are known and appreciated by thou
sands of readers. He wrote for the
people, not only to entertain them
but to profit them morally and intel
lectually, and his books are full OF
things worth remembering. In 1876
DR.. Holland became editor of Serb
ner's Monthly, and was engaged in
this work up to the day before his

at is poor rule that will not work
both ways and yet this maxim is
hardly appropriate i'll speaking of the
proceedings in the Senate for while
the Democracy elected Il President pro
TEN. by shutting out three Republican
Senators, the Republican side of the
house, in putting Bayard aside and
electing their own candidate, only did
what they had right to do as ma
joritN. The triumph of the Democrats
was shOrt-lived, and from the very ma
ture of its achievement it deserved to
be. Not one of them supposed that a
Republican majority would permit Bay
ard to retain his seat, under the cir
cumstances; but, as one Senator eX
pressed it, they were bound to have a
President pro TEN. if they could not
keep him in the chair ten minutes.
While President Garfield lay between
life and death, IA prominent Democrat
said: "The political future rests with
the doctors. If they save Garfield the
Democratic party is dead. If he dies,
we have a good chance" Garfield died,
and the Democrats caught sight of a
chance in the Senate. They jumped at
it, and, as usual-blundered. The
Springfield Republican sees fit to hint
that the Republicans would have done
the same thing but we are not inclin-
ed to believe it, because such maneu-
vers are not in accordance with the
principles on which the Republican
party has been maintained. Had they
done so, it would be no less blunder
If the Democrats of the Senate had not
striven to take undue advantage, and
had waited for their chances when all
Senators were sworn in, they could at
least have held popular respect. They

The Dead Presidents Influence

Why is it that the Republican party,
after so great bereavement, manifests
so much of steadiness and fidelity ?
Why is it that the Democratic party,
instead of gaining a doubtful and close
state, finds itself unable to command
its usual vote in 'off7' years Is it not
because eighty days of great anxiety
and deep thought in regard to public
affairs have brought about a change in
public opinion In every part of the
land men spent those anxious months
in serious reflection. They realized
what sort of man the Republican party
had voluntarily chosen as its leader,
and realized also how shamefully he
had been slandered and vilified by
Democratic journals, leaders and work
ers. 1t must have occurred to thou
sands of honest voters that the party
which was capable of hunting and
bounding so noble IA man as General
Garfield, and of bOundless lying and
forgery in order to defeat his election
or to cripple his influence afterward,
was not worthy of public confidence.
Then, too, the grand ideas and lofty
AibiS vi Nht hNthu L btCii
recognized as in the main the aims and
ideas which rule his party. Men see
that his spirit still lives /; that his ''soul
is marching on" They see that his
memory is more powerful than COM
bination of trained politician in New
York that it is cherished by Republi-
cans throughout the land, and that his
ideas will have far greater weight than
ever before in Republican councils,
since the recent terrible tragedy has
made them dear to millions. Thus is
it not true that the dead President still
gives weight and wise leadership to
the great party that he loved, and even
in his silent grave adds and will hence
forth constantly add to the hold of that
party upon the confidence and affection
of the people 1t was SO with Abra-
ham Lincoln. No Democratic leader
living has as much power with the peo-
pie as Abraham Lincoln dead. Is it
not probable that the late President
will have a similar power over public
opinion for years to come IN. Y.

Guiteau's Trial.

Guiteau, the murderer of Garfield,
was arraigned in the Washington Grim
inal court on Friday, and pleaded not
guilty. There was no demonstration
against him, of course, as the public
are willing to let the law hang him, il
it will but the miserable wretch was
afraid he would not get safely to the
court house, and displayed every symp-
tom of fear. The court room was
crowded, but there was no extra dis
play of police force, though the au-
thOrities had their eyes open and were
ready to nip any violence in the bud
Guiteau's appearance was that OF
"sickly Indifference" He is naturally
very willing to assist his counsel in
the insanity dodge, and takes care to
speak and act in such manner as to
induce belief in his imbicility. His
counsel announces that he will not
confine himself to the plea of insanity
but will enter the further pleas of NAL
practice on the part of the Presidents
surgeons, and lack of jurisdiction by
the present court. He wanted IA good
deal of time to secure witnesses to the
prisoners insanity, but the judge is
disposed to accelerate matters as much
as possible.
Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-
law and counsel, finds it no easy task
to persuade other eminent lawyers to
join him in defending the criminal. He
applied to Emory A. Storrs, b. F. But
Ter and others, without success, and
wanted time to seek aid and prepare
himself District Attorney COrkhill
for the government, wanted the trial
to proceed at once, since the mpOr-
lance of the case demanded that there
be no unnecessary delay. November
was finally fixed upon as the day fol
trial by the court, when it is to be
hoped the trial will really be begun
1t promises at best to be a lengthy af-
fair, and every phase of it will be
watched with interest. Only one re-
suit is looked for by the people, how
ever-the cOndemning of the assassin
to murderer's death. The public
feeling will not he satisfied with any
thing less and to this, it seems to us,
the case must come ut last, however
long and fierce may be the contest over
the insanity plea and legal Obstruc-
lions which the defense is bound to
present.

chose to do otherwise, and were worst
ed.
We could wish that some one else
than David Davis had been elected by
the Republicans; but his election
seems to have been the best way out of
an embarrassing position. Davis has
hitherto.been of uncertain tendency,
but his views have frequently been
favorable to conservative and popular
legislatiOn-which fact gives reason to
hope that as presiding officer of the
Senate he will not cOnfound the party
which placed him where he is. Lead
ing Republican journals make favOra-
BILE comment on his election.

A number of common bonds were re-

registry a few days ago. All the num-

treasury department did not know
what to make of the mutilated bonds.
They came from Chicago. A letter has
just been received by the department
from the owner of the bonds in New
York, who said he had written to his
wife in Chicago to send the bonds to
the treasury, and send the numbers of
them to him in New York. The de-
voted and Obedient spouse carried out
his instructions to the letter. She sent
the bonds to the treasury, but first cut
out the numbers, and mailed them to

President Arthur is great puzzle to
the politicians who want to be kept
posted in regard to his plans. Ever
since his Inauguration he has been very
silent and kept his own counsel. This
is very commendable thing on some
accounts, since it shows that the new
President does not intend to take
everybody into his confidence, but will
lay his plans and carry them out with
out the aid of multitude of counsel
ors." His Cabinet purposes can only
be guessed at. One day it is limited
that he will retain most of the present
members, and the next that he will
make sweeping changes. So far as we
can judge from the present outlook,
President Arthur's intentions are
toward conservative administration
which is exactly what the people
want.

Congress gave President Lincoln's
widow his salary for the remainder of
the year in which he died, and after
ward granted her pension of $4,000 a
year. Doubtless the same thing, says
fIarper's Weekly, will be done in the
case of Mrs. Garfield. Congress will
give her the years salary (now $50
900 less the amount paid, and allow
her $1,000 year. This, with the in
come of the Garfield fund and the in
terest she will receive for life insurance,
will give her about Sl5,00O or $4,000

Democracy were badly left in the late
election. Fosters plurality is "A, O62,
which indicates that the people of Ohio
have not forgotten that they gave a
Garfield to the nation, and that the
principles for which he died are the
principles of good government and
must be sustained. There was some
doubt previous to the election as to
the result in the legislature; but that
doubt has been wiped out and both
