On every hand are signs that the revolutionary
irish agitation will be severely let alone by the
irish Catholic clergy in every quarter of the
gioDe, even itit does not receive their active dis
approval. The PoDe Is higher than Parnell, and
the rock of Christianity on which the church Is
Dullt Is higher than the ~Fope.-Chioago Herald.
THE frozen truth of the business Is that the
rock OF the tariff question, and 1t makes little
difference which wing brings round the disaster.
Meantime the Republicans look with perfect
complacency upon the progress of their oppo-
nents toward the rock on which they must split.

THERE will not be any moro trouble in Ire
land from the murder societies for a time, and
the dynaLniters have been scOOped- The British
government can make choice of informers. The
question OF interest that remains for us is as to
the amount of disturbance demagogues will
cause In this country about affairs abroad that
40 not concern us. 1t would be a good plan for
American citizens to mind their home business.

A PROCEEDING for divorce is a matter of public
concern that should be carried on publicly and
openly and with due elaboration, and If a1udge
shrink, as well he may, from the responsibility
OF pronouncing a divorce, let it go to the full
court, ana be there weighed and determined as
right and justice shall demand. The courts can

they can do very much to increase the respect
FOR marriage and to discourage the ill-cOnsicered

divorce d matter of serious dignity.-Philadel-

WHILE the murderers have been hanged, and
the dealers in dynamite have fallen into the
clutches of the law, ParnelPs name has remained
untarnished, and he has succeeded in retaining
the affections Of the people. There is, indeed,
In Ireland no other cause than his. The land
lords, vanquished by the land act, have given up
the struggle. The merchants and many of the
conservative classes incline to believe that Mr..
Parnell is playing a winning game. Ireland has
more than 100 members In Parliament, and 1t Is
only reasonable to suppose that the national
leader will get half of them.-New York Herald.
WHEN Mr.. Hendricks had q "bile on his toe"
last year, ard a distinguished Louisville surgeon
pronounced it a fatal attack of senile gangrene,
was this the work of a political enemy2 But Mr..
Hendricks dlsproved the diagnosis made of his
case by going about and making speeches and
being interviewed. II the reports In regard to
Mr.. Ttlden come from a mistaken physician,
that gentleman should let the fact be known, as
MIR. Hendricks did in a similar case. The only
course for Mr.. Tilden to pursue TO satisfy the
public is to make a tour of the leading cities and
allow himself to be se~en.-Lou1sville CONNER

IF one recall the history of Russia for a little
way back he will remember the conflict between
tne new and the Old Russia, the influx OF new
Ideas from abroad, and the aping and imitation
which were but the signs of advancing thought
among the educated, the learned, the frivolous,
and the idle classes In France before revolution
began to sink its roots deeper down. BY some
fatality the nobility seem destined to introduce
In Russia, as they helped to do in France, the
ideas which are to destroy their class privileges.
This they accomplished in France, and this they
are accomplishing in Russia.-Cinoinnati News
journal.
1T is too late for the Roman Pontif to attempt
to scare the priesthood from that intimate con-
tact with the body Of the laity, at all points.
which is the CHARACTERISTIC of the Catholic
Church in America, Intelligent Americans think
for themselves whether they are of the Catholic
or the Protestant communion. This growing
habit of men doing their own thinking has in
sensibly, but certainly, weakened the hold which
Rome has upon Catholic America. 1t would not
be surprising II the Irish question should be the
no provincial council could possibly modify.

DIR. RANKL said: empty your purse into
your head. Then you can never lose your
rate of interest" People are more than ever
awake to the wisdom of this advice, and pos
sihly interpret 1t with a broader meaning than
was intended by the sage old philosopher.
Hence the increasing popularity OF industrial
schools, whose use is to furnish the student
with the practice, which is the substance of all
such pratical training one needs never fail Of a
good comfortable support, and the chances of
acquiring wealth are greatly enhanced. -Phila-

WITH the improved outlook in industrial lines,
and the escape from the necessity of exporting
considerable sums of gold during May, the business
situation OF the country at large may be conSld-
cred vastly improved since last writing. Money
continues easy at the principal eastern cities,
and the uanks have added to their reserves.
The imports are smaller, and exports likewise,
to a less degree. But there ia no change for the
worse in the crop outlook. Wheat PROMISES,
with the surplus, a fair crop. corn fully as we'll,
and cotton, as shown on Saturday, an unusually
bOuntiful, though late. yield. Settled and
favorable weather will he worth millions to the
