Az Enemy OF the People.

The representatives of the Democracy have se-
lected as standard bearer man who is regarded
in New York as an enemy of the people We
believe Cleveland's nomination will result in a
disastrous defeat to the Democratic forces next
fall The people of New York city will resent
the action of the representatives of the Demo-
cratic party The American Celt will not sup
port Grover Clevelands candidature. It is to be
assumed that the vast body of Irish American
citizens of New York know what line of policy.

of the Democratic party, and if the Democrats
in convention assembled ignore the voice of the.
people by placing man at the head of the presi-

they are justified in withholding their support

Irish American people all over America should
refuse to support man who failed to respect

The Vetoes Which Have Aroused Opposition

The Vetoes Which Have Aroused Opposition
New York Special
The measures which have been the cause of
the greatest amount of dissatisfaction with Gov
ernor Cleveland among the members of his own
party in this State" I" said prominent member of
the Tammany organization, tonight, 'are
L His veto of the ivecen fare bill.
Y. His veto of the twelve-hour bill.
'3. His veto of the public worship bill
a His veto of the Catholic protectory APP
preparation bill.
The first bill provided that the fare on the
elevated railroads in New York city should be
five cents, instead of ten, and that the present
commission hours, during which that rate pre-
valid should be abolished. This bill was passed
by the Legislature and vetoed by the Governor
sThe twelve-hour law bill provided that the
working time of employees on the elevated roads
in the city and the street-cars throughout the
State should be limited to that period, Con-
duetors and drivers are at present compelled to
work from fifteen to seventeen hours day, and
jlasJuess of the bill was sufficiently recog-
: nized to insure its passage through both
branches of the Assembly. Governor Cleveland
saw fit, however, to veto the bill. 1t was said
that his hostility to the ivecent fare bill was to
be accounted for by the fact that he was a stock
holder in a number of the surface railroads, the
value Of which stock would naturally be de-
creased by the passage of the measure. How
ever that may be, do not undertake to say"
What was the public worship billl
That was bill granting permission to the
clergy of the Roman Catholic Church to hold
services at the House of Refuge, on RandalIs
Island. The bill permitting this to be done
passed the Assembly, and would have become a
law but for Governor Cleveland.
'sThe Catholic Protectory, as you know, is a
public institution, built by the members of the
Catholic Church in Westchester county for the
reception Of young men and women sentenced
there by the magistrates in the surrounding
counties. No money had ever been asked from
the State for this institution the managers Of
which had done so much for the reformation of
the youth of the State. 1t was found necessary,
however, within the past year to expend some
$50, 900 for the Improvement of the sewerage of
the institution, and this the State was asked to
supply. A pledge was given that no more money
would ever be asked from the State on its ac-
count, and a majority of both branches of the
Assembly was readily obtained for The measure.
When the appropriation bills were returned from
the executive chamber it was found, however,
that this same Governor had refused to sign the
item mentioned

ENGLISH POLITICS.
The Fright in the House of Lords-Exciting
Scenes in Parliament.

The Fright in the House of Lords-Excitins,
Scenes in Parliament.
Gable Special.
The lords are scared. That is the meaning of
all the passionate scenes in Parliament for the
last few days. The impression now is that the
mode Of escape will be provided for them, for
which they are evidently painting, and the Rad
icals are fercely disappointed over the prospect
of being cheated of their wild agitation against
aristocracy and irresponsible government.
The scenes in the House of Commons were the
worst ever seen. Men glared at each other,
shouted till they were hoarse, and more than
once exchanged the lie direct thinly veiled un-
der parliamentary phrase. The reason of the
fierce anger by the Conservatives at the publica-
ton by Gladstone of his offers of compromise is
that it places their conduct in much more un-
reasonable light, and gives stronger ground for
the Radical statement that they are acting in
defiance of the people.
Mr.. Gladstone is doing his best to effect the
compromise. being painfully anxious to avoid
the conflict for which many of his younger col
leagues are longing. The reason is that his
health is bad, and that Sir Andrew Clarke his
physician, has more than limited that an autumn
session may be his death. He looked CHASTITY in
his pallor in the House yesterday, spoke in a
voice of painful feebleness, and was so weak
that at one moment he had to leave the house
making his bitterest taunt Another reason
why Gladstone wishes to settle the quarrel is
his anxiety to quit Office, and the passage of the
franchise bill would be a graceful and effectual
exit.
Opinion is divided as to whether a compromise
may be effected Immediately or during the au-
tumn session. The Conservative leaders are
anzioussfor the compromise now, SO as to imme-
diately stop the agitation, and are studious
in pointing out that the lords have not
finally rejected the bill even for the present ses-
sion; that their vote of the other night merely
postponed the reading Of the measure for that
particular night; that the measure, therefore, is
not dead but in state Of suspended anima-
ton; and that if Gladstone will even yet offer a
fair compromise, the bill can be taken up and
disposed of Another change in the feelings of
both sides may come before Monday, as the
news from Egypt is getting hourly worse, and,
apparently, the deluge there is close at hand.
An incident in the franchise debate in the
lords, commented upon by everybody as show
ing remarkable change in the spirit of the
times is the support Of the bill by twelve out of
thirteen bishops and the strongly democratic
flavor of the speech of the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury. In 1881 the reform bill was opposed by
twenty one bishops.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Secretary Freling
huysen to-day instructed by cable the American
consular officers at London, Liverpool, Mar
seilles, Hayre, Bordeaux Bremen and Hamburg
to at once appoint competent physicians to
inspect all vessels and passengers departing for
the United States from the ports mentioned
The consular officers referred to are instructed
to refuse clean bills of health in all cases, ex-
cept upon the recommendation of sanitary
inspector that such bills be given Consuls are
instructed to report by cable any case of in
fectious or contagious disease known to exist
on board vessel at the time of her
departure for the United States. This course is
adopted IN order that tile health officers in our
ports may have timely warning of approaching
danger, and be prepared with such measures as
win prevent the scourge from gaining a foothold
in this country. 1t is probable that. under the
authority conferred by the contagious disease
clause of the legislative bill, medical examiners
will be appointed as attaches to American CON
sulates at French ports infected with cholera,
whose duty will be to report periodically upon
the progress of the disease.

ONE OF THE BEST and most protita-
BILE resolutions a person can make at the
beginning Of the New Year is, to be
good natured. There is no national,
State or county tax on good nature,
and it pays big dividends to the person
who invests in it. We all have our
trials here below, and feel as if we
would like to pull things up by the
roots sometimes, but by a little effort
we can keep down our angry passions
and wear full-width smile day in and
day out. even in the midst of misfor-
tunes. The man who gets up mad and
stays mad until he goes to sleep again,
NAV come to think after long practice
at that sort of thing that Iie is having
a good time to himself and is making
other folks miserable, but he is really
very much mistaken. There may be
some excuse for the i'll nature of per-
son who hasn't got an easy running
liver, or whose stomach is worn out by
Oyerwork and wants TO retire from ac-
tive service, but the man who is well
and cultivates ill-nature, and thinks it
becoming, and imagines that he enjoys
it, Is truly pitiable creature, aud the
.xorld is well off without him when he
1sgone.
