To CHANGE THE RULES

Ifthere is anything under the sun IN
which the American excels himself and all
others IL is as a talker. He learns TO talk
earlier, talks oftener and talks longer than
any other man known to history. In some
cases this loquacity is Of great service and
enables the average citizen TO accomplish
things TINT a smarter man with less gift Of
cab would never be able to do, but neverthe-
less in the long run and from an economic
standpoint, the dangerous hueney causes q
fearful loss of time, which is popularity sup
posed TO be money. But ifthis great mod
.ern talker would be seen TO the greatest adj
vantage. il his wonderful command OF
the kings and gutter-sRipe's English
would be most fully appreciated, he must
be- seen and heard in the legislative halls.

DASTARDLY WARFARE.

Yesterday morning we were informed by
telegraph that two boxes containing INFER
nal machines which had been delivered al
two different addresses the day before IL
Edinburgh exploded on being opened, ano
eight persons we're injured. If this is to be
the style of warfare INDUCED BY
the land-leaguers, fenians and those who are
attempting to terrorize the English govern
ment, no surer method could have beer
adepted tor alternating from their cause the
better class of people of the world. Wher
the Irish troubles first attracted general at
tention, they elected for the poverty
stricken and struggling tenant burst OF
sympathy throughout the United States,
and generous contributions began to flow
into the Emerald Isle. Emboldened by
this show of assistance, or carried on by
ambition, the leaders began to advocate
riot and violence, which steadily in
creased until we find ODonorSA
Rosa and his nal threatening
English shir --4gnsn mansions, the lives
.6t women and children, with dyna-
;5,,e and Internal machines. From the
date of the introduction of internal ma
chimes into the contest, public sympathy
weakened and American succor virtually
ceased. Honorable warfare by an oppressed
people against their rulers Will always
elicit the sympathy and good will of the
American people, but when the methods
and machinery of the assassin are resorted
to they can never look to us for aid. 1t
is asserted, indeed, that the more
prominent and influential leaders In
this Irish movement are OPP
posed to those cowardly and murderous at
tempts of some of their followers, and we
trust and indeed believe this to be true.
There are great minds in the movement, no
doubt, who recognize the conflict as one OF
principle rather than as a personal or re-
vengful struggle between ment. If SO, such
men should in no unmistakable terms de-
cry the use of these destructive agencies by
which the innocent are carried away with
the guilty, and humanity's sense ofJustice
shocked. A. determined stand on their
part would soon put an end to the practice,
and we would hear no more OF inner
nal machines" sleeping thieateningly in
the cargoes of ships upon the high seas, orin
the cellars of private residences, or among
the express packages OF the flying train
1t would be more honorable to single out
the object of mans or nations enmlty and
shoot him down with pistol. We hope
that the proper expressions of disapproba-
ton will come with reference to this matter
Gom the leaders of the Irish movement,
hoth in Europe and America. Ifnot, those
who know the American public know full
well that their good wishes or assistance,
their sympathy or moral support wonld
never 90 with such cruel warfare.

therefore, do? Nothing but that which they

that some little legislation may be permit

sadly in need Three months have
glided swiftly by and we are not aware
of any remarkable dispatch OF bust
ness, and from this considcra-
ton, and this only, we are in
clined to believe that temporary cessation
of Washington oratory, while it may to a
certain extent, it is true, abridge American
liberty would not thrown the country into
Il revolution or state of hopelessness. There
fore, we think that the previous question
ought to be at once introduced into the SEN
ate and rgidly enforced in both that body
and the lower house until few Of the more
important bills now pending could be
passed. Apropos to this question the New
York Herald of recent date has the follow
ing: at is curious parliamentary coin
cidence that the house of commons III
England and the senate in Washington
should be considering at the same
time the question of change il
the laws governing their proceedings SO
as to cut off the well of English, de-
filed and undefiled, and allow some bust
ness to be done. The senate and the com
mons are probably he most laxative bodies
in the world, and CARLYLE doubtless hao
them in his mind when he lamented that
the two great English-spcakins nations
were running to wind and tongue. In the
house the hoodgates Of debate are cut of
by the previous question, which, unfortu
nately, does not exist in the senate. The
latter body now contains eleven more mem
bers than the first house of representatives,
and as every one is talking for his constitu
| ents, the necessity for drawing the line
somewhere must be apparent to every one.

ton in the senate"
