The Assembly has passed the Spragre Excise
bill which abolishes the threc-bed clause and
prevents arbitrary arrests, but otherwise leaves
the city under the present excise system. This
is the best that can be hoped for from this
Legislature, and is a marked improvement on
the measure which the New-Yorll and Brooklyn
delegations have been pushing without success.
This latter bill, fortunately now abandoned,
went further i'll the direction of free rum than
any which had obtained support at Albany for
years But what can be expected while the

that tbey had been too hasty that 1t woald be
impossible to conclude the pending lnvestiga-
tons, 10 say nothing about passing sundry lia-
portant bills. by May IS. The consequence was
that the resolution was recalled before the
Senate had passed upon il. The resolution or
yesterday calls for adjournment June 2, ana
there would seem to be no reason why the re-
manning public business of importance should
not be disposed OF before that date. 1t may De
that in order to accomplish all that Is desirable
the members will find 1t necessary to forego the
usual weekly adjournment. If so, we trust
they will be equal to the abnegation which
will be imposed upon them, and remain ut their
posts. We know they all desire to get through
as soon MS possible. And We know also that
the public will not begin thoroughly to enjoy
the warm weather until they have left the
Capitol
Mr.. Gladstone's Irish bills have been carried
to their second reading by large majorities, but
If docs not follow that he has materially i'm
proved his position. The Arrears bill had the
votes Of the Irish members, and the Repression
bill met with no opposition from the Conserva-
tives, SO that the majOrities were overwhelm-
Ing. Both measures are now in Committee OF
the Whole House, and while some critical
amendments will have to be voted upon, 1t Is
probable that each will pass to its third reading
in its present form 10y large majority. But
Mr.. Gladstone's prestige cannot be restored by
these legislative successes. His strength here
tofore has lain in the fact that his own party
and the Opposition as we'll have been convinced
that he had the confidence OF the constituencies
that they wanted to have the Irish question
disposed of in his way. although they might
not understand the details of his measures.
The charge which Conservatives and dis
affected Liberals can now bring against him Is
that public confidence in his courage and in his
Judgment has been greatly impaired. The
charge may not be true, but he cannot treat 1t
with indifference or contempt until he has
proved that it is false 10y appealing successfully
to the people, or by success in Ireland so
conspicuous that everybody will know what
the country thinks Of it.

The divisions in the irish party III the Com
mons are not likely to be permanent. Disci-
pine will soon be restored, for while Mr.. Par
nell is secretly disliked by some of his assoc
ciates, he is the only member of the party who
has any of the essential qualities of leadership.
Yet this revolt against him is very significant.
If he cannot keep his followers together durin g
the present crisis, his power as political
organizer and his prestige as a national leader
must be greatly impaired. If his Parliamentary
associates dstrust him even for single day, it
implies a suspicion on their part that the people
are no longer with him. When the personal
loyalty of his advisers faltcrs, the allegiance OF
the uncrowned kings subjects is no longer to
be counted upon. Disahecton breeds dis
affection.

There were doubtless good many Ameii-
cans on Epson Downs yesterday, for the Derby
of late years has attracted large number OF
spectators whose homes are on this side OF the
Atlantic, and the exodus" this spring has
been unusually extensive. The Yankee visitors
must have left the course with chastened
hearts. Last year an American colt bore of the
blue ribbon, and every American whether at
home or abroad felt like letting the eagle
scream. This year there were two American
colts in the Derby, and the best either could do
was to get third place. but it should be borne
in mind that there were more than two hundred
entries for the stakes including the best ami
mails in the stables OF Great Britain and
Europe. The number of entries from this
country was very small, and from .only two

day, entered into his personal recOgniZance Sat
urday afternoon for his appearance next Wednes-
day. Mr.. DonOhlle was sent to jail, and Mr.. s. N.
HOyt was retained in the custody OF the officers
until to-day, when he gave bail. STAR reporter
asked Mr.. Blunt, prosecuting attorney Of United
States at the Police Court this morning, why
the warrants in the alleged straw bail conspiracy
cases were sent out so late Friday night, and was
informed by that officer that 1t was intended by
his Office that the papers should go out at ten
O'Clock Friday morning. and the tnfOrmationS
were in court ready to be filed and sent out at that
time, hut the mode Of procedure was changed by
the government from tnformatiOnS to warrants,
and the warrants were sent out as soon as the
force OF clerks could make them out, but there be-
Ing large number OF them it was late before
they could be made out. Capt. Prince, clerk OF
the Police Court, states that In relation to the at
tack On Judge Smell for consulting with the pros
ecuting attorney about the issuing OF the war
rants in this case, this is not the first case Of
importance In which Judge Smell was consulted
about the issuing OF warrants, for he was. con-
suited at his private by secret service detec-
tiveS, about the issuing OF papers against Secre-
tary Belknap. He also signed the af1ida Wit and
warrant that was issued for the arrest Of .3ill
Jones, who shot Guiteau.
