Mr.. L. J. Jennings, the wide awake
Loudon correspondent of the New
York World, cables his paper. this
week, the following lnformation:-
"Mr. Gladstone, hear, has once more
changed his mind, and has resolved to
remain at Cannes, at least for the
present. 1t begins to look very much
as if the Premier had resolved to follow
his original plan, and to retire alto
gether from public, or, at least, ofici al
life. Your readers may safely reject
all that the organs OF the ministry may
say about the restoration OF order in
the sister island. have the very best
warrant for saying that the temper ol
the Irish people is more implacable
than ever. Messrs. Davitt and Healy,
as your readers already know, have
gone to prison rather than find sure.

sent faithfully the incorporating

A BAD BILL.

Section !. That section 500, article 2, chap
ter Il Of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, be

tween the words 'required'' and "thcn, T" in
the twenty sixth line, the following words
'Or shall at any time thereafter neglect or re-
fuse to keep such fence or fences, openings or
farm crossings or cattle-Suards. IN such condi-
tion As to prevent cattle. horses, mules, swine
and other domestic an imals escaping from CT
coming upon said lands. fields or enclosures, !"
and BY inserting In the twenty y-seventh line,
bstwsen the words ''maIntainn and .'such, I"

also In the thirty first line, between the crd-
crossing" and ''and, the following words
''Or necessary repairs thereto" SO that AID

limit" With such a declaration as
this before it, it was simply an outrage
upon the part of the associated press
to represent that Senator Vest had
squarely p!antedhimself on the doctrine
of protecting infant American indus
tries. Still, we think the senator has
made a mistake. We do not censure him
for his vote, for the sum set may have
been the revenue sum. If Senator Vest
believes. as he says he does. and as we
think he does, in ''a tariff for reve.
nue. only" he cannot also believe in SO
imposing this tariff as to protect infant
American industries. No democrat
of to-day is freetrader in the sense
that he would abolish the tariff, Any
tariff must protect. But what deme-
Gratis ask is, that the amounts laid up
on each and every article shall be laid
from the basis of producing the most
revenue then the incidental protec-
tion is lawial and right. otherwise it is
o"S0AoSAsutAonoA ouu PCAhASONS' Au
this case we are like the old hunter
who halted Henry Clay in a speech to
charge mistaken vote upon him. Clay
asked, "Old Friend, if your rife were
to miss fire once would you throw it
away?" "No, sir;" answered the hum
ter, 81 would pick the flint and try her
again." We think Senator Vest is
good gun, and we think the democratic
party OF Missouri, however they may
pick his flint. will try him again, and
will nevervhave cause to regret it. III
he stands sgRaEely .upon the doctrine
Of ''a tariff for revenue only" which
we think he will do, he will be all
right.
