New York society do not seem to have
been fulfilled. Several rich and fash

her friend, Mrs. Laboucher,, dinners
and suppers at Delmonico's, and law
ished on her attentions in the shape Of
visits, bouquets and drives, but no one
has heard of her appearing as . guest

is owing to her failure to receive invi.

DUBLIN, Nov. 27.-Davitt in a
speech at Navan on Saturday evening
eulogized the action of the Irish Par.
liamentary party. Action in Ireland,
he said, however, mu st always be para
mount to work in Westminster. Re-
ferring to the threatened famine in the
west of Ireland, he declared that the
tenant farmers should not starve. They
would compel the government that pre-.
vents them from living on the soil to
support them during the Winter. In
case they were unsuccessful in getting
the government to do its duty, he pro.
posed to make the landlords support the
people. If Gladstone did not apply the
surplus of the arrears estimate to save
the people, then no rent should be paid
from November until May. A portion
of the arrears surplus should be placed
as a national relief fund to save the
people from starving. In 1913 Arch
bishop Hughes declared in New York
that a man threatened with hunger
would be justified in seizing the bread
upon the altar. How much more justi-
fed would the Irish be in feeding their
destitute from the tribute they are
compelled to pay felonious landlordism.

any new evidence, anything whatever to
Justify a reopening of the case, has been
brought forward. The McGarrahan claim
has all these years been fought on contin-
gencies The projectors have Issued bonds
as the Tichborne claimant did, and these
bonds have been hawked every where, and
have been used in all manner of attempts
to procure the favor of persons supposed to
have Judicial or Congressional influence.
All this has been common talk at Washing
ton for years, and SO shameless have been
the maneuvers of the claimants that it is
no longer possible for Congressional Com
mittee to undertake an investigation OF the
case without subjecting itself to sharp sus-
picion. And it is mere trpism to say
that no such committee could reverse the
concurrent and repeated decisions of the
Courts and of Congress in this case with
out convincing the country that it had
sold itself, and without consigning every
one of its members to political death and
lasting infamy. And it seems the more
necessary to say this because MeGarrahan
has lately been represented as expressing
confidence that he will get his case re.
opened, and because he has already begun
to make bed for the committee to fall
on, by impeaching the honor of every
Judge who has passed upon the matter
hitherto. The meaning of this menace is
too plain to be mistaken, and it cannot be
questioned that the committee is in danger
of committing suicide.

GERMANY AND sKoBELoFF.

A dispatch yesterday from Berlin states
that the German Government has deter
mined to demand from Russia the retire.
ment or discharge of General Skobeloff
from the army. That is, to use a some
what slangy phrase, "a strong order. "
The Gar must be exceedingly DESTROYS of
maintaining the entente cordiale with Ger
many if he accedes to it. He must be so
DESTROYS of proving his friendship for Ger.
many as to be willing to Incur the bitter
hostility of his own army officers, from first
to last, for necessarily they will all take
the part of Skobeloff in this quarrel. And
suppose the Gar either will not or cannot
comply with the request of the Berlin
Government? That request looks very
much like one made for the express pur-
pose of insuring refusal. In that event
what will Germany do? Under the cir
cumstances the situation seems favorable
for extreme measures, and the Cars posi-
ton is most difficult. No doubt he should
not have allowed Skobeloff to say what he
did, but having permitted it he cannot
abandon his general. Germany's move, if
it is as stated, is critical one, in short.

SARGENT ANDl HIS ENEMIES.

The malignity of Mr.. Sargent's enemies
may be regarded as the most satisfactory
evidence that they do not believe what
they say when they affect to know that he
will not become member of the Cabinet
As regards the scurrilous attacks of the
New York Sun, nothing of course can be
predicated. They represent nothing more
than the base spite of an evil.minded and
corrupt journalist named Dana, whose no.
toriety as a liar will outlive all his other
claims to posthumous celebrity. At Wash
ington, on the other hand, are congregated
as villainous gang of scoundrels as the
whole country can furnish. All the thiev-
ing raiders upon the Treasury, all the Star
route robbers, the claim agents, the pension
agents, all the swarming land thieves, all
the vile brood of venal rascals who spend
their dirty lives in attempts to bride some
body to let them steal something, are rep
resented in that city. And it happens I'M
fortunately that these knaves are often
able to secure the dissemination of such
misrepresentation as they concoct to boil
ster up their fraudulent enterprises. Now
ex-senator Sargent has in the course of
his long public career been in collision
with not a few of these thieves He
knows them and their ways. He is
specially well versed in the habits
of the genus called land thief.
And it is because these wretches fear him,
and because they know from past expe-
rience his incOrruptibility, that they are
now doing their venomous best to prevent
him from becoming Secretary of the Int
rior. And when we see their activity and
their persistent abuse we are encouraged,
for we know that these despicable ours are
only bowling because they are afraid that
their nefarious schemes will be frustrated,
and because they have reason to know that
their game will be Up when Sargent goes
into the Interior Department. II they
thought he was not destined to fill that
position they would have dropped him
long ago. They have not the confidence in
President Ar.hur's reticence which they
pretend They know well enough that
there was nothing vague or indefinite
about the intelligence which called Mr.
Sargent to Washington. Thew know that
the President is not likely TO stultify him.
self after what has passed, or to take upon
himself the burden of making impossible
excuses and explanations to Mr.. Sargent's
friends. In fine. these vociferous rascals
understand very well that though the
Ides of March have come. they have not
passed yet.

SHIPBERD.

The friends of Blaine are apparently
beginning to realize that the Shipherd
business can neither be laughed out of
Court nor be pooh poohed. The more it is
examined the more serious matter the
Peruvian Company's project appears, and
while it may become necessary presently
to admire the audacity and far.reaching
scope OF the enterprise, there is increasing
reason to apprehend that there will be no
opportunity to applaud the morality of
those prominent public men who were
associated with it. 1t may be that Con.
gress will prefer to let the subj ct drop. as
being of altogether too dangerous and ex.
plosive nature to make political cap;tal
out Of But it is not probable that the
main facts can be suppressed, since too
many persons are interested in making
them known; and when they are fully
revealed the indications are that the prin-
cipals viii have what Rabslais used to call

FIGHTING FOR pILAY.

1t is said thai the Mormon lobby are
fighting to delay the enactment of anti
polygamic legislation. No doubt they are
doing this, but unless they are very power
full and Congress is very venal, they cannot
succeed. The sentiment of the country
has demanded the prompt passage of an
effective law in this connection, and the
issue has now reached stage at which
postponement cannot be proposed without
rendering the proposers liable to the sus-
picion of venal motives. No Congressman
can side with the polygamists either openly
or covertly, and we do not think any Con.
gresham will attempt such course.

Mormen Memorial 10 Congress.

SALT LAKE, February 22d.-Tbe following
will appear in the Tribune tomorrow mar1-
ing: Last night all Ueah was flooded with
printed memorials intended to be sent on TO
Congress, and begging that body not to inter
fere with the polygamous practices of the
Mormon Church. The memorial sets forth
that the young people of Utah are fully in
accord with the doctrine Of polygsmy, and
they consider that the practice of
the same by their parents has baen
uniformly pure and ennoblirg. For sew
eral days past these petitions have
te n sent in bundles sl over Utah,
and yesterday was the Gay set apart TODD
the grand work of obtaining signatures.
Each school was canvassed, and every little
boy and girl old enough to hold pen was re-
ouirt to sign. The Bishops made addresses
in each school, and said We would be
ashamed to know that any little boy or girl
would refuse TO sign this paper. You dou't
amount to anything if you do not. Yon will
simply be locked upon as nothing. Your
