MORE Trouble FOR IRELAND.

ireland il having some more bad luck. Mr..
Jeremiah Donovan, otherwise "The 0'DOnovan
Rossa," had great hopes a few weeks ago OF
the Liberation of his native land within short
time. With 81, 800 cash in hand he thought
the "skirmishers would be able TO strike
England in five or six different places in one
night and he accordingly made call on tho
friends OF that oppressed land for the amount.
At last accounts the foes of the oppressor had
not dropped in the sum named, and the
enterprise, without exactly tagging in
interest, seemed not to he making much pro-
gress Mr.. Donovan confesses with some sad
ness that the fuss which has been made over
the little matter of $4,000 which was raised
for the skirmishors and cannot be accounted
for has had tendency to weaken public con-
fldence in the effort to shake off the tyrants
yoke by skirmishers and dynamite. He fears
that the effect OF the agitation over the miss
ing money will be to postpone the liberation
of Ireland. Then, too, we suspect that
the patriots who have been In the habit of
contributing to the cause are beginning to be
tired of pouring in their contributions without
ever knowing anything about the manner in
which they are expended. Many of Them before
paying out money to "strike England in five
or six different places in one night" want to
be assured that the six different places are
not in the Bowery, and that the whole $1,000
will not be spent in descent upon Cork.
This seems like unreasonable curiosity. If
they refuse TO trust Donovan with $1,000
simply because he is unable to account for the
missing 500, 900, we fear Ireland will remain
under the tyrants heel till well along in The
spring.
Then here's another setback to the cause. Mr..
Patrick Ford, who ia also engaged in the enter
prise of freeing Ireland by publishing a news
paper in this city called The Irish World, In
which he sets forth weekly the woes of Ire
land and the wrongs practised upon her I'M
happy people by the British Government, has
reason to believe that he is pursued by the en-
ssaries of that Government with the purpose
of putting surreptiious dynamite under him.
A mysterious person, wearing a stovepIpe hat
called at his Office on Friday of last week, and
the same stranger came to his house on Thurs
day last, wearing an Alpine hat He ia de-
scribed as being of dark complexion, little
bald, and clothed in mystery. We do not know
whether it is his complexion, his badness, or
his two styles of hat that arouses the suspicion
and excites the fears of Mr. Ford, but something
about him has so awakened the latter's appre
tensions that the police have been informed of
the circumstances, and the authorities OF what

TIE GEN1IE HIUCUN.

The caucus of Republican Senator'S on the
tariff question. though it did not touch the CHIEF
points in dispute, nor bind Senators to any deh-
mite action as to details, was altogether encour-
aging. II showed general disposition 10 pass
some Tariff hill in substance not materially I'M
like that which the Commission reported. There
are members of the Senate, as is well under
stood, who are in favor of passing the bill of tho
Commission, with few notifications, rather
than any bill that has been considered in either
House. 1t is not impossible that these may find
a majority of the Senate prepared to assent to
their views before all is done. 1t ia said that
Mr.. Sherman and some other very influential
men are G. that mind, and there is no reason
Why the Senate cannot reach an agreement.
The obstacle so far has been this, that ma
iority of the Senate has desired lower duties
than the Commission proposed. The removal
of the duty on lumber is an illustration, and
after that came the reduction of duty on pig
iron, steel rails, and bar-iron. Now men are
saying to each other that they cannot afford to
vote TOR the Senate bill as it stands. But that
does not prevent them from voting for the
Commissions bull, if offered as n substitute at
n later stage. 1t appears, for example, that q
majority of the Senate would favor lower duties
on lumber and on iron and steel, If separately
considered This having been demonstrated,
the Senators who prefer the duties proposed by
the Commission on those articles. though they
may be dissatisfied with the bill in other re-
spects, may see fit to favor it in order to get
something done, and something less displeasing
to them than they would be likely to get if the
Senate should act upon each item separately.
This is n suggestion Of compromise, but no
useful legislation can be expected except
by compromise. No member of the Sen
ate or of the House can expect to
have things exactly as he wonld like
them. II he can meet the needs OF his cOnstitu-
ents more nearly by voting for bill substan-
italy like that Of the Commission than IN any
other way, though that bill may not DO exactly
what he would ike, he may decide to favor it.
The one thing which Republican members Of
both Houses recognize is that some action on
the tariff question ought to be taken before the
session adiourns. 1t is very certain that each
member cannot get things fixed exactly to suit
himself But bill like that of the Commission
can probably be passed not as the best thing
conceivable. but as the best Oh ing attainable.
