THE IRISH QUESTION.

The Irish situation is becoming
very grave, because it is getting to
involve the security of the most inno-
cent Irishmen. The crimes of des-
perate men and the qualification of
individual malice are scored against
a whole people, and few more as
sassinations or attempted murders
might easily precipitate a terrible cat
astrophe. This situation is confirmed
by the passive Indifference of intelli-
gent Irishmen toward deeds which
they can not approve. Their attitude
is like that of Southerners toward the
Ku-Klux fifteen years ago. 1t was
in vain that they declared their free
dom from responsibility for atrocities
which they did not deplore enough
even to condemn. Nothing would
have so certainly fastened the resto-
ration of mutual good feeling in this
country as a prompt condemnation of
the Ku-Klux crimes by intelligent
and honorable Southerners, and Wig
orous efforts to bring offenders to
| justice. So when Mr.. Egan, the
treasurer of the Land League, says
that he should have resigned if the
League had offered a reward for the
arrest of the Phoenix Park assassins,
and Mr. Parnell, the president of the
/ League, that of course the attempt to
blow the government offices in Lon
don will be attributed to Ireland,
they both show spirit which obvi-
ously does not tend to repress such
crimes.
But the English Government ano
the English people ought to permit
the cowardly, detestable, and frantic
villainies of some Irishmen to affec
their Irish policy. England can no
allow total separation from IRELAND
for two reasons. One is that such ;
separation would be an unpardonabl'
betrayal. 1t would abandon the mos
intelligent and thrifty Irishmen to tn
: tender mercies of ignorance and bru
tality. 1t would be an intolerabl
inhumanity, against which the civil

SO little attention is paid to the sad
condition of another sweet singer,
Crouch, who composed '.Kathleen

negotiating in state of great desti-
tuition and i'll health in some misera-
garnet in Baltimore. There is plenty
of charity in this world, but its gifts,
like those of fortune. are sometimes
scattered in very happy-go-lucky
fashion, as if the eyes of the donors

William and Victoria are the SOW
ereigns of Europe in whom the world
at large takes the most active inter
est. The grizzly old Kaiser has for
years maintained stalwart grip on
life, and, contrary to the natural ex-
pectations of men, hale and hearty
he has just passed his eighty-sixth
birthday. A few days ago Queen
Victoria tripped on the stairway of
Windsor castle and received a slight
confusion on the knee. All England
was appalled,. The workmen "knock-
ed off, in the manufactures and all
classes with one accord rushed into
the streets to the bulletin boards of
the newspaper offices and with breath
less suspense awaited the tidings sent
out by the corps of physicians which
surrounded her majesty. Victoria
will be but sixty-four years old if
she lives till May. She is we'll pre-
served and should last a decade OF
two longer, and the anxiety for her
health manifested by her subjects is
a tolerably strong expression of a
hope that she will. 1t is quite plain
that for the performance of such neg
alive duties as attach to the sover-
eighty of England the people prefer
Victoria to the prince of Wales as
Edward VII, king of Great Britain
and Ireland and emperor of India
Germany's prospects for a worthy
successor to the venerable emperor
are much brighter. The sovereign
of the empire is living power, not
a figure head, and the possible death
of the old monarch produces no hys.
terical alarm in Berlin.

lied world would exclaim. The other
is that Ireland separated from Eng
land would be instantly seized by
Some other power, and become the.
mos dangerous menace to England.
Whatever is done, therefore. must be
done by England alone upon consul
tation with intelligent Irishmen, and
it shonld be done in spirit of prac-
teal justice. That is to say, separa-
ton being impossible, the union
should contemplate the utmost posi-
BILE local Irish rule for Ireland. Such
a policy, indeed, would not satisfy
assassins nor the friends of assassins.
but it would satisfy the general judg-
ment of mankind. And such policy
ought not to be affected by the num-
Der or the atrocity of individual Irish
outrages. 1t would not be yielding
to threats what ought not to be grant
ed. 1t would be the recognition that
a situation for which England is
largely responsible has naturally pro-
duced outrages, and that the repres-
sion of them by the severest means
ought not to be accompanied by re-
fusal to adopt every reasonable meas
ure to redress ancient and acknowl-
edged wrongs.
No government should be driven
by clamor or public Indignation into
spirit of revenge, or suffer itself to
be blinded to the eternal and inexor-
able laws of human affairs. If mar
tial law in its severest form should=be
declared in Ireland, the terror, while
it lasted, might repress actual out
rage, but it would only deepen and
strengthen the spirit from which out
rage springs. The Irish question is
the result of prolonged martial law,
and whatever the tragedies and bru-
talities of Irish crime, it is impossible
not to admit that martial law is not a
remedy, and will not settle the ques-
ton. Carlyle, in kind of fantastic
despair, proposed the submersion of
the island for twenty-four hours. But
as determination is out of the ques-
ton, counsel must be taken, not of
rage and revenge, but of reason and
experience. 1t is not surprising that
many persons think the situation to
be hopeless. Mr.. Gladstone, howev-
er, could he be freed from the wrath
and unreason of an excited public
opinion, would doubtless grapple with
it successfully. Yet to prevent the
control of the question from passing
into the hands of those who would
practically restore the terrible Irish
regime of the end of the last century,
Mr.. Gladstone must feel himself
compelled to yield much against his
will. If, as the London correspon-
dent of the World intimates, the Lib
eral Ministry should be at last over
thrown by the Irish question, it would
be only because English feeling is toe
deeply exasperated by horrible Irish
crimes to tolerate any Irish policy
but that which has always failed

TRAINING NURSES.

The second session of the Mary
Fletcher Hospital training school for
nurses will open at hospital on Tues
day, May 1, and continue four weeks.
The object of the school is to educate
and train women for intelligent and
effective service as nurses to the sick
and helpless, and, by so doing, to
select and provide class of skilled
nurses, whether for establishments or
private families and, secondarily, to
extend and cultivate this needful
knowledge among women generally.
1t is to be understood that the pupils
are not, in any sense, to be be fitted
here to take the place of the educated
physician, but solely to become his
enlightened and ready auxiliar. Can
didates for graduation will be exam
ined at the termination of attendance
upon two sessions of the school, and
two years practical experience, in
Guiding the two sessions, and will re-
ceive a diploma, if all the require
ments for graduation are fulfilled.
Any woman who may desire to get
the benefit of the instruction given in
the school, without intending to fol
low the vocation of a nurse, may at
tend the course. An announcement
of the school has just been issued il
pamphlet form (Which contains also
President Buckham's valuable ant
interesting address delivered at the
opening of the school last Year, ant
copies of it may be obtained of thu

ested.

Winter has been lingering with

Upon the reaseembling of the court yester-
day afternoon ct o'clock, the case Of Rus
sell Coo vs. Thomas English, William d.
WildB, John 7. Poor and Patrick Mellon.
was resumed. This is q case of tresspsss.
and was fret tried at the November ter m
1882, commencing on December s. The
trial occupied the attention of the Court
several days, and at its conclusion q verdict
was rendered for the plaintiff. The case
was then taken to the Court of Error and
Appeals and the verdict OF the court below
| reversed on the ground that certain evidence
had been ruled out. In tho present trial
this evidence will be admitted.
The essential point In the case Is that GER
tain goods apecified In the declaration were
taken BY Constable English under a writ on
judgment obtained against one John r.
Wilson. The plaintiff claims that said goods
were at the time on the farm of the plaintiff,
Russell Coe, and In the possession Of a man
named George W. Thomas, whom be en-
ployed as his overseer. The defense on the
other hand urges that John r. Wilson,
against whom the writ was issued, was the
actual owner Of the property. At the first
trial the jury found for the plaintiff in the
sum of S14S.26.
Mr.. Fulton opeL ed for the State AID called
George w. Thomas, John b. Lewis and
Mrs. J. Il. Wilson as witnesses to prove that
J. X. Wilson was only the agent for Mr..
Coe and did not own the cattle seized and
sold by the constable. The examination of
the Witnesses was stubbornly contested by
counsel and several very heated debates oc-
CURED, between Messrs. Gray, Bates and
Fulton. Mr.. Harrington, who ap-
peared to be the cause of all the disagree
ment, smiling serenely the while. Suddenly
the State rested, much to-the surprise Of the
defense, Mr.. Harrington acknowledging that
he was taken unawares. After brief ad-
dress by that gentleman Francis Boyer, COL
ored, and James Green were examined to
prove Mr.. Wilson's ownership of tue prop
erty in dispute. Court adjourned until this
morning.
