Englishmen In maintaining q traditional
safeguard OF Parliamentary liberties. When
we bear In mind, however, that refusal to
support tho closure resolution might entail
a dissolution OF Parliament, We can see
that even motives OF self-intorest might
conceivably induce the Parnellito men,
bers to refuse tho compact to which
they have boon invited. 1t is not improba-
BILE that they would increase the number OF
their members from thirty-four to seventy
five In the event Of q new general election,
and they might thus be placed in position
to extort even larger concessions than those
which Mr.. GLADSTONE might now venture to
make In tho first instance. There are proba-
bly, other considerations which helped to in
fluence the decision Of the Irish party.
We know, at all events, from the action Of
the Parnellite members on Friday night,
when they voted with tho Conservatives
against the closure resolution, that they
mean to resist the application Of gag law in
the House Of Commons, even ut tho risk Of
postponing the reforms they desire for Ire
land.
We conclude therefore, that in the new
caucus Of the Irish members, which is likely
to be held in consequence Of Mr.. GLADsToNE's
interesting declaration, tho expedicncy OF
accepting the terms offered will have some
earnest advocates, though the final decision
OF the party may be influenced by considera-
tions imperfcctly appreciated on this side OF
the Atlantic,

A Hard.earned Victory.

The recent astounding success OF the DEM
ocrats in this State is most remarkable when
we consider that 1t was secured under adj
verse circumstances. The machinery OF the
election was substantially in the hands OF an
INSCRIPTIONS party Accustomed to seize
upon every advantage. A registry law was
In force, constructed for the purpose Of i'm
peding voting in Democratic districts. The
application Of that law to cities only was de-
vised with the intent OF leaving unmolested
the usually Republican rural districts.
Another undue Republican advantage was
the DAVENPORT law, which placed Republic
can officials Of the United States Govern
ment at every poll, nominally to supervise
the Congress vote, but really to keep down
the Democratic majority. 1t Is notorious
that this law has been used from the begin
ming to intimidate naturalized voters.
But the most signal disadvantage OF the
Democracy was the illegal and unjust appor-
tionment OF this State, by which seven votes Of
Republicans counted as much as ten votes Of
Democrats. 1t is only by such unfair ad-
vantages as these that the Republican party
has been able to prolong its existence thus
far. The first duties Of the triumphant De-
mocracy must be to correct the villainous
aDportionment, to remove United States Of
ficials from the polls and to make all voting
citizens equal before the law.

The Crop of Political Idiots.

Immediately after such victory as tho
Democrats have just won a crop Of political
idiots springs up in the party which has been
successful.
The first prominent plant Of this sort in
the crop Of the present season is Mr.. JAMES
HOWELL, formerly Mayor Of Brooklyn and
who would have been Mayor OF Brooklyn
yet IL thousands of Democrats had not voted
against him and in favor Of Mr.. SETH Low.
Mr.. HOWELL wants the Democratic Legis-
lature to take away from tho Mayor the
absolute power OF appointing the heads OF
the great city departments, which he now
possesses, and would have these officers all
elected directly by the people. He says this
is real home rule.
One thing is GER ain. 1t is not the kind OF
home rule that Brooklyn wants now. The
inhabitants OF that city are trying the ex-
pertinent Of giving their Mayor the power
and imposing upon him the responsibility Of
administering the municipal Government.
They can turn him out at the end OF two
years if he does not satisfy them. With him,
they can turn out the principal officers under
him. They propose to give this system a
fair trial. They are tolcrably well satisfied
with it thus far. Many Of the newly elected
Democratic Assemblymen are pledged to
support it. In fact, there is no surer way Of
giving the Republicans majority again in
Brooklyn than by attempting to do what the
former Mayor now proposes.
Mr.. HOWELL may be man Of intelligence
and good sense in other matters, but in this
he is utterly wrong.

Entertainments on his own domain are re-

ton OF such combination Of inter-

We read these sentiments of Mr.. JAMES G.

them is just as true as the other.
What kind Of Republican success is 1t that
he deems so important in 1884 ? And who
are the Republicans he would like to see
successful?
Are the Republicans going to try to cheat
the Democrats out of the Presidency in 1884
as they did in 1876? Mr.. BLAISEs friend.
