GLADsToNE's IRISH POLICY.
The ParneH Amendment to the Address in
Reply to the Queens Speech.


Reply to the Queens Speech.
LONDON, Feb. SIN accordance with previous
announcements, Parnell moved in the Commons,
to-day, an amendment to the address in reply to
the Queens speech. The amendment severely
condemns the policy of the government in Ire
land, asserting that it has failed to trahquilize
the people, has wantonly prohibited public meet
ings and interfered with the freedom of speech,
and has permitted magistrates to publicly APP
plaud the conduct of Lord Rossmore who had
been superseded as a justice of the peace for dis
turbing public order and melting ill-will and
strife between different classes in Ireland. The
amendment further demands the immediate
abandonment of the policy of state-aided emf
grafton of Irish
In the course of the remarks with which he &C.
companied his motion, Mr. Parnell asserted that
the recent visit of Northcote to Ireland had been
the exciting cause of the civil disturbance. The
Orange outrages were in his opinion, grave mis-
fortune to the Conservatives whom Northcote
had dragged at his heels and discredited the Irish
faction. He denounced in strong terms the ora
tory of tho Orange platform during the recent
attempt to introduce the National League into
Ulster.
Continuing, ParneIl said the Orange demon.

The Lincoln Monument at Springfield Seri-
ously Damaged.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb S.-The Lincoln monument
partially collapsed last night, the structure suf-
fering damage to an extent estimated at from
81, 900 to s., 900. The accident was entirely due
to defective architecture and without any ex-
terror cause. The outer walls supporting the
promenade at the base of the statue were never
properly joined or riveted to the arch and floor
of the promenade. The result has been that
they have gradually given way, and on the side
where the accident occurred the wall is six
inches out of level. The ARCH of course, finally
gave way when the outside wall buckled from it.
all the way around to make it safe. The large
stones have been braced and workmen are en-
gagged on preliminary repairs. Visitors have
been denied all access to the promenade or in
terror. and repairs will be pushed vigorously.

Taking Punishment Like Gentleman.

Taking Punishment Like Gentleman.
New York Graphic
Valentine Baker is the man charged with
somewhat mild assault-but nevertheless an as
sault-on respectable young woman, in one of
the apartments of an English railway train. The
young woman defended herself successfully, and
called the guard at the first opportunity, though
it was evident at the moment that the violence
had ceased, not to be resumed Baker made not
the slightest defense in the subsequent trial.
He was evidently utterly overwhelmed with
shame. The usual way in these cases-at
least the American ways to try to destroy
the character of the complainant. This Baker
would not permit; nor would he permit any
thing to be said in his own behalf. The proba-
biity is that he was intoxicated at the time Of
the assault, and had formed wrong opinion of
the womans character. However that may be,
he accepted his conviction and punishment as
patiently as possible and his dismissal from the
clubs to which he belonged in the same way. He
crept out of London, and there is every reason
to believe that his life since then has been de-
voted to the redemption of his character. No
drawer man lives. There is probably not in the
world a more conscientious commanding officer
There is no position of danger to which his duty
calls him that he is 10th to accept. He has the
confidence of his government, and in leading the
forlorn nope of the Soudan he almost inevitably
goes to his death.
