IRELAND,
Encouraging Outlook for Home Rule.

LONDON, Nov. 13-Jennings' special says:
Nothing could well be more encouraging
than the outlook before the Irish party in
parliament, and many Liberals willingly
concede that the present government is pre-
pared to make most substantial con-
,cession to the advocates of home rule
1T is not improbable that one of the
earliest steps will be the granting of the
elective county boards, with the right to
nominate sheriffs and magistrates, to elect
the boards Of education, poor-law, and public
works. Leading Liberals claim that this can
be done without any danger of disintegration,
and that Mr. Gladstone has only fairly stated
the present disposition of the government and
of the most prominent men in his party on the
subject. 1t is not at first easy to believe that
peaceful revolution Of such magnitude can
be wrought in the case of Irale nd, but it can
be safely said that there is a great change in
public feeling on the subject Of the Irish ues-
ton.
Mr.. Dayitt's utterances are now spoken Of
as arguments" instead Of as @treason and in
cendlarism," and any rational project looking
to the alienation of existing grievances, the
betterment Of the tenant class, and the general
improvement Of the country receives respect
full consideration unless it be at the hands Of
ultra Tories and Jingos. Persistent and in
telligent agitation, the gradual subsistence of
agrarian outrages. and the disappearance of
the dynamite clement have brought about a
better feeling and unless some wholly unex-
pected contingency should arise, home rule
win shortly cease to be synonymous with trea-
son and obstruction, and will be accepted as a
natural and peaceful incident Of the political
progress of the country.

what should we Educate Fore

Popular Science Monthly
l ask myself if the system of education at
present going on in our nation is system
which has proper relation to the necessities
of the nation look around me- to see the ma
ton in chaos of thought and action; in what
Mr.. Gladstone has correctly defined as social
revolution in one part, and mental revolution
in all parts; mental revolution that might, by
merest accident, by one or two days shortness
Of food, from failure of foreign Supply and
panic thereupon pass, few years of further
chaos, into physical revolution. And the
thought which occurs to my mind, as 1T must
20 all who think, is, are we educating to pre-
vent catastrophe? Are we educating the
young to become useful, independent and ca
pablo working members Of society, ready to
work with muscle ~ well as brain, in orderly
and profitable form, or are we educating them
to become mere troublers without design
repiners without hope, schemers without self
endurance, masters Of the forces of nature
herself knowing how to use them for tempo
rary selfish, insane Objects but not knowing
how to apply them for splendid results and
the general good?
The national necessities as the bases of ma
tional education are, first and foremost, these:
That although in the early days of youth the
three simple elementary educational practices
of learning to read to write, and to calculate,
are necessities for the time, they are compare
lively valueless unless combined with further
necessities of n physical iind-namely, sound
and systematic muscular training; freedom of
breathing, and circulation of the blood; prac-
teal training, so that the body can be strucs
turally built up and sustained in health; prep
aration for all duties requiring precision, de-
cision. presence of mind and endurance; and
readiness to acquire any craft or handicraft
that may bring useful living; in word, an
education that shall bring the mental and ply
steal qualities of every person into faithful
harmony and goodwill.

EXPORT TRADE.
A. Dull and UnprOmising Outlook.

CHICAGO Nov. 10. .
The effects Of large crops to depress prices
have been experienced this week in the wheat
market, prices having dropped TO the lowest
point in the last Two years. Exports have
been diminishing for month past. There is
complete absence Of any speculation in the
market for wheat, and prices in this country
are now governed entirely by the foreign de-
mand. There is no longer any talk, either, of
New York or Chicago being the controlling
markets of the world. In short the foreign
consumers seem to have it all their own way.
At present prices, and at the present volume
of exports, the value of our weekly exports of
wheat and flour are only about two-thirds as
great as the corresponding period last year
while the value of exports of corn and provls-
ions is not one-fifth of what it was at this time
last year The problem as far as the market
for our large surplus Of wheat is concerned,
is difficult to solve.
Higher prices for petroleum may help our
side of the trade balance somewhat; but on
the whole the prospect for trade balance in
our favor is not promising, unless there
should be some Improvement in the oriental
markets for cotton goods that would make a
larger foreign demand for American cotton.
In cotton, as in wheat, the large crop is de-
pressing prices, and Spectators are at loss
what view to take Of the situation The cot
ton-spinning interest of the United States,
though supported by more rapidly increas-
ing and prosperous population than that
of England, feels some of the same
effect of sluggish trade, accommodating
stocks and declining prices. The iron trade,
both of this country and of Great Britain, is
dull, and the iron trade journals are beginning
to talk about "over production" There has,
within the past eight or nine months, been a
vast increase of commodities throughout the
world as the result of abundant crops, and
also of continued industry uninterrupted by
important wars or other social disturbances
for several years In other words, money has
increased in value as measured by commodi
ties The general facts of plethora of
goods, and a general decrease Of enterprise
and tendency toward less activity of capital
are aDpareut

Woman, Not the Actress.
New YORK, Nov. 13.-The several appear
ances of Mrs Langtry at Wallack's theatre
this week have made it evident that there was
a good deal of wishy -washy gush written
about her and her acting Oh the night of her
American debut Many intelligent people
who have seen her incline to admit the cor

in The New York Times, that her performance
was weak, vague, and unsatisfactory" and
a recent issue, groaned audibly over its as
sumption that the Americans would offer
Langty an adulation which a Siddons alone
should aspire. Whatever few newspaper
writer's, who thought it the fashionable thing
to extol Langtry and her "art" to the skies
have done to justify this prediction, it may be
said that very few people have visited Wal
lacks with any idea that her acting was worth
seeing. They have paid their SO seat for rea-
sons that have nothing to do with theatrical art,
being drawn to the theatre simply out of curl
osity to see the best advertised woman in the
world. The fact that Langtry has charming
personality and has long been "the rage" in
the social world Of London will probably serve
Manager Abbey's purpose as well as though
he had an artist as his latest prize, instead of
merely famous woman of the world Of
Langtry's financial success there is no more
doubt than of the fact that Barnum made
good investment when he bought Jumbo
Every seat in the theatre except the back row
in the balcony was sold for the week before

FOLGER FOR THE SUPREME BENCH,

WASHINGTON, Nov ia few months ago
Secretary Folger did not want to go on the su-
preme bench, but it is believed that the posi-
ton would now have attractions for him which
it did not have when he thought he could mount
the New York goyernorship, and from that tall
eminence reach the presidency. Of course
there is no political future for Secretary Fol
ger now, and the treasury intrinsically
has no great attraction for him AS

Bradley is well stricken in years. He has
been on the bench nearly thirteen years, he
and Justice Strong being the two jurists who
reversed the legal-tender decision. 1t is now
suggested that he should retire presently; that
Secretary Folger should succeed him, and
that Mr. New should become secretary of the
treasury. This would crafty Mr..

American Actors Ahrnad

Madame Janauschek thinks it really too bad
and ridiculous that an actor has only to come
from abroad to this country in order to fill the
house and make a fortune for the visitor,
while alb DAD little or no attention is paid to
the American. She thinks it is the kind hearts
of Americans that indulge them to patronize
Unfortunately foreign humbugs A year
ago last summer, she says, edwin Booth, the
most superb actor of the age, went to England
as the friend of Henry Irving. He played to
full houses, and London went into ecstacies
over-the friend of Henry Irving. Last sum-
mer he repeated the experiment, ex-
cept that this time he was the American actor,
Edwin Booth. His houses were empty,
vacant chairs stared him in the face, and the
venture was a total loss. At this very time a
person known as Oscar Wilde was exhibiting
himself to our American public. He had no
talent; he had no genius; he had nothing to
say, but he wore knee breeches and coined
money. No one was deceived in him. Upon
Wildes arrival in this country the papers
gave him impartial and discerning criticisms;
and yet he returns to England fondly believ-
ing that he has appeared as a lion. Last sum-
mer Fanny Davenport also went to London,
and was six weeks in the city before getting a
hearing from manager As nothing better
could be done, she went to Toole's; failure
resulted She is a magnificent actress, and

New York, standing room could not have been

and Predicting Democratic Success

New YORK, Nov. 15.-@I find this talk about
prospective Democratic blunders little ridic-
ulous," said Congressman Samuel J. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, to reporter in the lobby of
the New York hotel this afternoon. aNot that
the Democracy is absolutely past blund-
ering every political party is liable
to commit errors occasionally - but
that the possibility of its doing SO is a very
poor straw for the Republicans to cling to.
So far this year, at any rate, the laundering
has been all the other way, not only in this
state but all over the union. In Ohio the Re-
publicans Numbered by advocating mild
kind of prohibition, which, while it failed to
satisfy the extreme anti-temperance element,
altogether estranged the Germans In Penn
sylvania their blunders have been too numer-
Gus to mention, and in Massachusetts-wel
you have only to read the published
interviews with Gen. Butler to know
how they managed things there In view of
all this, and the perfect harmony that has ex-
listed in Democratic ranks, it really sounds
strange to hear the Republicans consoling
themselves with the thought that their bad
outlook for 1884 will be changed by Demo-
cratic blunder."

have been in very long time. In fact, do

Freedoms Statue Bowling to the sun.
Washington Cor Chicago Tribune.
The great dome is now cleaning in all the
purity of unsullied whiteness, having been
freshly painted at great expense indeed, so
fabulous in its rumored extravaganza that [
forbear to mention it, as its stupendous pro-
portions are incredible, and probably exagger-
ated Some estimate of the cost however,
may be formed from the statement that the
paint required for the work would have
painted all the buildings on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from the White House to the capitol 1t
was b )rculean task indeed! And q mora
singular sight can scarcely be imagined than
that of the men crawling like spiders over the
rOpe-ladders spread over the surface of the
dome; which arrangement caused spectators
to tremble as they gazed upward to
the dizzy height, which is over $50
feet above tidewater.
The statue of Freedom that surmounts the
dome has been the subject of much discus
sion lately, on account of the discovery that
she daily makes obeisance to the SUM
statement so singular that it was generally
disbelieved until the truth was substantiated
on scientific principles. The statue is of iron,
and not marble, as the correspondent of q

Following are extracts from letter written
by Mr.. James A. Mcknight to his father, in
this city The young gentleman's friends here
will be interested in the event which he SO
graphically describes:
@UNTTED STATES CONSULATE, ST. HELENA.
MY DEAR FATHER: When I took
charge of this Office, on Aug /, at once moved
the consulate property into respectable house
and made several much needed changes
end reforms in the conduct of the Office.
Of course, l have not yet heard how nv
action is received by the state de-
partment, but l am conscious that it deserves
their approval and commentator. X
The office [ now have is spacious and in every
way suitable. I have my residence in the
same building, and nice garden in the rear.
with bananas, oranges ana plenty of flowers
in course of development 1t is now the
spring time here, and the island looks beaut-
full in the interior 1t Is very dry and paTehed
looking all around the coast
My principal object to writing to you at
this time is to inform you of my marriage,
which took place on Saturday, August 20, to
Miss Lydia G. Alexander a native of the
island, of English parentage, who was edu-
Gated in England and is a most admirable
young lady. x She is accom-
plished in all the arts that are becoming to
good, and wise women, a perfect housekeeper,
and very fond and devoted to her home She
is also an artist and a musician x We
sought to have the wedding as simple and as
private as possible, and we walked from our
residences, she with married sister and
dear young friend, with the colonial secre-
tary, and as we passed along the
streets were astonished to see that the
whole population had turned out to witness
the ceremony. As we entered the Epis-
cOpal church of st James the crowd
followed, many having already taken seats.
We were both in walking costume The cere-
mony concluded, we went to the residence of
the brides parents, where few friends and
and relatives of the family (the chief families
OF the Island) met us and partook of cham
payne and cake. My eXequator had arrived
the day before, and the governor was going to
recognize me formally with salute from one
OF the batteries, but in consequence of my
wedding, the salute was delayed, and fired at
the moment we entered the house after the
ceremony, so that wedding that was meant to
be perfectly simple and unassuming was trans
formed into an exciting and brilliant affair.
When the repast was furnished my bride and
myself went on horseback to the family's
country residence, called "Fairyland," where
preparations had been made for us. We
spent week there in prospecting the country,
that part of the island being the most attrac-
own house IN jamestown, and 1 am awaiting
the arrival of the whaling fleet, which will
be here in about twenty days Trusting that
shall have your approval and blessing in this
important step of my life, your affectionate
son, JAMES A. M'KNIGHT."
