might be found that the practical effect of the
restriction was small but the idea is worthy of
consideration.
From the conversation with King Kalakaua's

The transition phase in Irish politics is ont
lined in the letter of Our London correspond
ent on another page. Mr.. Parnel, it appears
bitterly opposes the Government, refusing to be
satisfied with the Land Act In this course there
are strong indications that he will be supported
by the Irish peOpl, with whom the imprison-

direction OF home rule While a revolutionist
at heart, Mr.. Parnell keeps clear of revolu-

by giving Ireland not what she demands, but
all that she is entitled to. Such was the ad-
vice of John Stuart Mill, who never lost sight

1t will be deep disappointment to the coun-
try to learn that the favorable progress of the
President has been checked, even ii only for
time. The successful removal from the
malign atmosphere OF Washington was received
with universal JOY, and it was felt that the
prospects of recovery were now bright The
progress made rs soon as the President had re-

Yesterdays rise in pulse was attributed some

and at the evening dressing the pulse
was 40, the temperature about 100 and
the respiration 20-all influenced by the
same cause. But it must be remembered
that iii every respect but this new aiiec-

condition of the wound, gland and digcs-
tive organs is unchanged, and the Presi-
dents appetite is unimpaired. The latest dis
patches are more reaSsuring. They show that
the temperature at II o'clock was down nearly
to normal, and that the President was rest
ing well. To-day, it is hoped, may show
that this is not serious affection.
