GLADsToNE's ACT

GLADsToNE's ACT A FAILURE
what is the position of Mr.. Gladstone
now2"
ITO answer that question ] must go
back little. Mr.. Gladstone introduced
the land act, and during its passage got
the gag bill passed to silence Mr.. Parnell
That land act was failure. and after try
ing il fully Mr. Gladstone was forced to
confess as much This he did by his re-
lease of the suspects and the introduction
of the arrears bill. He not only confessed
that he had been wrong about the land
act and the gag law, but at the same time
time he identicalIy endorsed Mr.. Parnell's
action in opposing the land act. By doing
this he showed that the long fight was
over and that the League had Won Then
came that horrible murder in Phoenix
park That, as might have been expected,
set all England in a flame, and the coercion
act was introduced. The Coercion act is
not fairly understood i'll this country. 1t
prohibits political discussion and eombina-l
ton. forbids intimidation. gives the magis-
trates the power of summary arrest, makes
them the judges of what political discus
sion and intimidation mean. and is gener
ally the most comprehensive bill any one
ever saw. If it is passed it will give alb
solute power over the people Of Ireland to
the magistrates, who are generally land
lords, and will deprive the people of all
protection. To show you the absurd ex
tent to which such an act can be carried. l
may instance the following case; A boy

In the parks were occupied yesterday. Hero

gers in the city would flock to them ut an oarly
hour, bringing along newspapers and books,
and giving tho parks the appearance OF one
vast reading.room. This species of arlstoc-
racy was very select In procuring seats, and
after ten o'clock 1t would be n dinlcult matter
TO obtain sitting room In shady spot. But
the cold snap seems to have changed their
habits, for In u walk through the old Armory
grounds on Sunday only one seat could bo
found occupied, and the occupant.appeared TO
be excessively cargoed with strong drink.

tion OF South Washington arc IN n similar con-
dition and call loudly for some attention from
the authorities.
As an evidence of the sad need of we'll side
walked and paved streets In some portions OF
South Washington, 1t will only be necessary
to say that property east OF Second street has
advanced very little In tho last thirty years.
Delaware avenue, running south from the
Capitol grounds, is entirely without sidewalks,
and no effort has ever been made to pave IL.
Parties owning land on this avenue would bo
willing 10 sell IL for little more than they paid
fourth of q century ago. This seems strange
for property almost under the shadow of tho
Capitol, but value Will doubtless remain tho
same until some effort Is made by the District
Government to place the streets In order.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

Made by the Court in Banc To-day.
Mr.. Justice Cox, In the Court In General
Term, this morning delivered the unanimous
opinion OF the Court In tho important and
long.pending suit instituted by Mr.. James $.
Edwards, as the assignee in bankruptcy OF tho
late firm OF Entwislo 4 Barrow, against Mr..
Thomas d. Entwisle and his wife, to recover
certain valuable real estate, where MIR. Ent-
streets In this city, which had previously been
conveyed to Mrs. Entwislo and to n trustee for
her benefit, on tho ground that 1t was In fraud
OF creditors and paid for with the means OF tho
late firm OF Entwiele Il Barrow and that II
should be sold TO pay the creditors OF the Arm.
It appears that many years ago Mr.. Entwlsle
failed In business and shortly aftorward
formed co.partnership with Mr.. George o.
Barrow, since which time they have carried on
large business as contractors, constructing
valuable buildings, among others tho Convent
OF the Visitation, the Arlington Hotel, the
Louise Home, Ford's Opera-House and tho
National Theatre; and that not long after he
formed this co-partnership, and while heavily
indebted, he purchased property which no had
conveyed 10 his wife, and to trustee Tor hor
beneflt.
Mr.. Entwistle's old Indebtedness was paid
out OF the firms moneys, and while he was In.
debted TO many OF his present creditors, and
the property settled on his wifo appears also
to have been paid for to n large extent out OF
the firms moneys. Entwistle 4 Barrow were
adiudicated bankrupts in 1878, owing about
$4,000, OF which about $1,000 was due TO
laborers and mechanics.
This failure occurred about Ave months
after tho firm completed the Convent build
ing, ON which II is claimed they made n largo
profit. The firm had no assets whatever, hav-
Ing collected nearly every dollar of Its con-
tracts. At ameeting OF the creditors Mr.. Ed
wards was selected as tho assignee, and soon
after commenced tho present suit under the
direction Of the principal creditors TO recover
this property.
The case had been previously decided in the
court below by Mr.. Justice wylie in favor OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Entwisle. From this decision
the assignee appealed to the General Term,
which reversed the decision below, and di.
rected o sale of all OF the property. The Chief
Justice and Mesers. Justices Cox and James
sat in the case, and 1t was argued by Messrs
Edwards 4 Barnard and Hanna 4 johnson for
the assignee, and by Mr.. w. d. Davldge and
II. W. Garnett for Mr.. and Mrs. Entwisle.
