In the course OF his reply, In the British parlia-

In the course OF his reply, IN the British parla-
ment yesterday. to the attack OF Mr.. Forster upon
the land league, Mr.. Parneil explained that the
league had employed its sustentation fund In part
for the relief OF persons imprisoned In Ireland and
this had been made the basis for the charge that
the organization sympathized with and encour-
aged murderers. He would not condescend to
reply TO the personal imputations upon himself,
but relied upon his record to refute that attack.
Influenced by the Dublin officials there Is danger
that the British government may make the mis-
take of Furnishing all Ireland for the crimes of
few OF Its people. The punishment to be melted
out should be confined entirely TO those who are
proven guilty OF crime. II prejudice instead OF
justice is 10 influence the government, innocent
people are almost certain to suffer. Those who
commit or excuse violence IN ireland Invariably
seek to justify it by the plea that British justice
In that country represents British prejudice and
that it condemns the innocent as well the
guilty. The government now has an opportunity,
in dealing with the alleged asSasSins to satisfy
the world st large that justice In ireland is the
Same quality that prevails In Englan1; Or, on the
other hand, to convince the world that the Irish
cOmpi 3tnt Is well founded.
In the cross-examinatIon OF Rerdell, counsel for
the defense In the star route trial have adopted
the same tactics Which Dorsey employed to intim-
idate the witness into making his retraction. The
frightened from the truth once by scowls, threats
and bullying, the same methods may again be
made useful to their side of the case the wit
ness Is differently situated now. He is mol alone
with Dorsey, but under the protection OF the gov
eminent Besides, the star route ring is not so
formidable now as when Dorsey clustered and
threatened. Then the combination, with pockets
fun OF money stolen from the government, had
power to do some mischief, and were able to
threaten great deal more. Now the conspiracy
stands before the country with all its rascalties
and desperate schemes exposed, and the men who
composed IL are as p0werless to injure others as
they are TO save themselves from the legal penalty
OF their crimes. Yesterday the browbeating of
Rerdell was carried far that the court felt I'M
PEELED TO interpOse It's authority.
The advantage to the public Of keeping such
institutions open on holidays Is shown by the fact
that overtime hundred persons visited the C0rcoran
Gallery OF Art on WashiBgtOn's birthday, although
the hours that day were from ten to two O'clock
only, instead OF from nine until four, the usual
term Nothing better serves the purpose of at
once entertaining and instructing the masses than
libraries, art galleries, aums, ETC., and their
usefulness is greatly impaired by keeping them
closed on those days when the public generally,
and particularly those engaged In active pursuits
are best able TO visit them.

The Kentucky Platform

Hon. j. w. HAYS, who was one OF the
committee which reported the platform
laid down by the late Democratic State
Convention Of Kentucky, said in recent
interview that the committee did not in
tend to antagonize Mr.. WArTERsoN; that
they knew what the st. Louis and Cncin.
natl platforms were; and then kicked over
the bucket In the manner following:
REPORTER: "'Colonel, what Is your
opinion oil the expression "Tariff for reye-
nue. onlyY"
COLONEL HAYS: "sWhy, sir, Il reminds
me OF an expression in one OF Jackson's
letters in which he declared himself for a
"judicious tariff" These expressions are
made to mean anything by politicians. In
my opinion what we want Is to lay a tariff
that will afford the means OF defraying the
necessary expenses OF the Government, and
the incidental protection brought about
should be on those industries most need
ing it,"
Mr.. WATrERs0N rcproduces the inter-
view alluded TO above, and adds that every
member OF the platform committee would
corroborate its statements. MI. WAITER
son has been greatly misunderstood and
grossly misrepresented II, with Colonel
HAYS. he fayors ga tariff which will afford
The means Of defraying the necessary ex-
penses of the Government" and holds that
. the incidental protection brought about
hould be on those industries most need
NJ IT."
What Is there TO quarrel about II we all
tand upon the same platform: Does Mr.
yArTERsox really endorse Colonel HAYs's
reed?

The Lvnchburg Fire.

The fatal accidents which resulted from
the fire in Lynchburg yesterday turn the
sympathy OF the public away from mere
pecuniary losses towards the surviving
relatives and friends of the gallant men
who sacrificed their lives in endeavorlng
to save their neighbors' property. Never
theless, we cnnot but express our regrets
that the owner OF the Lynchburg Virginian,
who is also its editor, should have suffered
the loss OF his office. As to the victims,
we avail ourselves of the occasion to say
that no community ought ever to fail to see
that the family Of every man is well pro-
vided for who loses his life in serving the
public. Money thus spent will yield a
rich harvest, not merely in the conscious
ness of duty done, but in actual practical
results.

The State well points out the difference
between certain negro appointments made
few years ago for a good purpose by the
Democrats and the placing of negroes upon
the School Board Of Richmond by CAME
RON. No negro ever received even door
keepers place from the Democrats who did
not take it as favor granted out OF mere
grace by the superior race. No negro has
ever risen in any Democratic Board or
otherwheres as did PAUL at recent meet
ing OF the City School Board to tell what
he intended to do, or was willing to do, or
how he desired the Board TO act. Oh, no.
Such pleas are not available. The few
negroes who act with the Democrats know
that they are not recognized as equals by
the Democrats.

MALONE IN A BAD B0X.-Another effect
of this election will be to close the doors OF
the National Republican Convention against
Malone. He expected 10 go there with a
delegation, and to make his own terms for
admission. The negroes whom he misled
will now desert him, and the original Re-
publicans. who were prescribed by the
bargain and sale. will be reinforced by
these deserters. and become stronger than
thew were at first. The imitators OF Malone
in other States, who were led TO follow his
example by the expectation OF office and
by the promise of reward, Will find their
business sadly fallen off, for if nothing
succeeds like success, so nothing fails like
failure. Malone has four years in the Sem
ate as his remaining capital, and he will
make the most OF it. Riddleberger has six
years before him, and, like "Number
one he knows how TO take care OF
himself. He epitomized his politics and
his principles in saying, 1--WE are for Ar
thur because Arthur is for ISL Washing
ton correspondence Of the Nelo York Sun.
That's one view OF the case. Perhaps
the Republicans may re0rganize their party
in Virginia, elect delegates to the Republic
can National Convention, and have Ma
HOMES delegates refused admission.

Because Mr.. FULKERsoN's personal in
flusnce-he being candidate for Con-
gress-carried Washington county last
year.
AS to Mr.. TRIGG's beating Mr.. WARD 800
votes four years ago the reader will recol-
lect at once that at that time there was but
one Democratic party in Virginia. Even
in 1880 FOWLER and his associates claimed
to be better and truer Democrats than the
Funders, and actually voted for HANCOCK
and ENGLISH. In word, WARD and TRIGG
were both Democrats in 1879, Gas they arc
now. by the way,) but TRIGG's opponent
OF this year is not Democrat at all. Come,
FOWLER, no attempts to mislead. Out with
the whole truth.
