NEW YORK, May 11.-Daniel McSweeny, a
naturalized American citizen, who, in 1881, was
arrested in Ireland as a suspect and imprisoned
fourteen months without examination or trial,
arrived to-day in the steamer Pennsylvania.
MeSweeny said he came to this country when IL
young man, and lived and did business in San
Francisco for twenty-five years. He intends TO
remain here but couple of months. and will
then return to Ireland. His object here is to
obtain relief for the starving people of Donegal
and see II he can obtain any satisfaction from
the British government for their arbitrary i'm
prisonment of an American citizen.

THE DEMOCRATIC QUIBBLE.

The constitutional amendments passed by
the last General Assembly of the State of In
diana are pending before the present one.
That they are not is an afterthought of the
Democratic leaders, suggested for no honest
purpose, but is a bubble in keeping with
their entire treatment of the question. At
their State convention they made platform
capable of double Interpretation, and in
different localities gave to it the differing
constructions which would suit the liquor
league or the temperance people, as it might
be to the party interest Not until after the
election was over was there whisper or q
suggestion from any of the profound consti-
tutional lawyers, now SO plenty and pre-
sumptuous, that these amendments were not
properly passed by the last Legislature, and
would not come up before the present one
for agreement or disagreement in regular
course of proceeding. AS we said, the dis
covery that they are not so pending is made
for dishonest purpose by dishonest party,
and is supported by course of reasoning
ildue up VI uiouOIiesty anu idliaCy III equdI
parts. An "opinion" of learned
length and thunderous sound has
been promulgated, in harmony with
the Democratic programme, which, to
make its point necessarily assumes that
constitutional amendments need not be in
the form of joint resolutions, need not be
signed by the presiding officers of the two
houses, need not be deposited with the Sec
rotary of State, but are to be carried in
the journals in some mysterious manner
for reference to the second Legsla-
ture. Now all this is very fine, and very
fine-haired; but the facts are that no consti-
tutional amendment was ever passed by the
Legislature of Indiana, by the Legislature of
any other State, or by the Congress
of the United States except in the
in the day, and shows the desperate straits to
which the Democratic party is driven, to
now suggest that there is nothing in the con-
stitution providing that amendments shall
be by joint resolution. There are only three
ways in which the General Assembly acts
by concurrent resolution, by joint reso-
luton, and by bill. A concurrent resolu-
ton would scarcely meet the spirit of the
constitution for an amendment for by its
ependent--the action of one is simply

CoNsT1TUrIoNAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

''The proper time to work against constitu-
tional amendments comes when they have
been submitted to the people. In all cases
where large and respectable element of a
State population calls on the Legislature to
submit an amendment, it is the duty of the
Legislature to comply with that request. II
we know anything about democracy, it is
democratic for the people to have ample OPP
portunities to amend their fundamental
laws If we know of anything that is OPP
posed to genuine democracy, it is denial of
this popular right. We are advised that the
liquor associations of two or three States
have organized an opposition to the submis-
sion of pending prohibitory amendments
If this be true these associations have
made a mistake, and a mistake that will
do their cause harm. In the effort to
prevent submission they will be opposed by
the great body of -prohibitionists, be-
cause very few of those who are prepa red to
vote against the amendment at the polls are
willing to go on record as denying to the
people an opportunity to decide, by the
proper test, whether they will or will not
have prohibition. The majority must rule
in this country, and no interest can be helped
by trying to keep the hands of the people off
their fundamental law. We are opposed to
prohibition, because we have seen no good
and much evil resulting from attempting the
impossible in that direction; but we are very
decidedly in favor of letting the people of
often as there is general demand for a vote
on any feature of it. This is true democ-
racy, and if any of our friends have got any
other kind, they had better unload"
We copy the above from the Washington
Post, the very able Democratic newspaper
and organ at the national capital, and for
good, sound Democratic doctrine, as well
as common sense and right, we commend it
to the Democrats of Indiana, and especially
in this city.
Except as to the expression of opinion for
or against the doctrine of prohibition, it is
the doctrine of the Republican party of In
diana as expressed in their platform, and the
doctrine for which the Journal and the Re-
publican press of Indiana contended in the
late canvass.
The right of the people to vote upon all
questions affecting their fundamental laws,
and to alter and amend the same, cannot be
denied or gainsaid in popular government,
and those who have scoffed at that right in
our late campaign will find that question re-
turn to trouble them in the future,
Neither the Republican party of Indiana
nor the Republican press of the State has
been committed for or against prohibition,
but both are committed to maintenance OF
the right of the people to make, alter or
amend the constitution whenever and how
soever they may determine at a special cleo
ton held for that purpose.

What FRENCH RepubIicans Are.

Gath's New York Letter.
Specials received here probably padded,
say that ultra Catholics and Royalists reclted
the scenes at his death-bed, and said that hell
could not wait for him, but had anticipated
death with its tortures. The sickeningde-
tails of the autopsy published with horrible
minuteness, were gloated upon by the fanat-
les. HE will not rot away before he reaches
the Palais Bourbon" they cried. 'The enemy
of God and the enemy of France, he cannot
enter the Madeleine On every side one heard
the wild utterances of a popular frenzy ex-
pending itself in thousand different direc--
lions. There was no sobriety in the grief of
his friends nor moderation in the senseless
outburst of his enemies. De Roulede, the
poet, made shameful scene over the coffin,
assaulting Mayer editor of the Lanterne, and
both being dragged, fighting, from the pres
ence of the dead by the public. Over lo0,O 900
people went through and the atmosphere
from the immense heaps of flowers was suffo-
eating"

THE sinking of the ocean steamer City of
Brussels is calculated to excite a lively ap-
prehension in the minds of those obliged to
trust their lives to seagong vessels. 1t has
been stoutly maintained, and generally be-
lieved, that these vessels are SO constructed
that they cannot sink unless whole side be
STAYED in or they are thrown on their beam
ends. Yet here is a vessel OF one of the lead
ing lines sunk il. a few minutes to the top of
her maimnast by being run into by another

theory doesn't seem to work successfully,

q smooth sea and so near land, or the loss of
life might have been appalling.
