JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY, the scholar
ly editor of the Boston Pilot, cannot, it
seems. set his foot on English ground
without being liable to arrest, thrown
into prison and compelled to serve out
the balance of q twenty years term of
Imprisonment, imposed upon him in
1866, when he was tried and convicted
for high treason against The British
Government, becasss Of his patriotic
zeal for Ireland and her cause. After
serving three years OF his term OF penal
servitude in Australia he escaped, came
to Boston, was natuTalized, and soon
after became editor of the Pilot Some
time ago he was invited to lecture in
Montreal on St. Pdtrick's Day, the in
vltaLlOn coming from a high official OF
the government of Canada He de-
cliDed on the ground that he would be
liable 10 arrest the moment he stepped
upon Canadian soil. High officials in
The government OF Canada promised
him immunity from arrest Mr.. O'Rsil-
ly wrote TO Mr.. Frelinghuysen, SecTeta-
ry OF State At Washington, explaining
the circumstances, and asking him
whether his citizenship would protect
him from Earm. The Secretary took
deep interest i'll the matter, aud through
Mr.. Lowell, the American Minister at
London, laid the question before the
English Home Government. Mr.. o.
Reilly also wrote personally requesting
permission to visit Canada, England
and Ireland. a few days ago replies
we're received absolutely denying hii re-
quest. Mr.. O'Reiliy is not AL old man
yet and may live long enough to be able
once more TO walk on the "O.d S9d'
and stand upon his native heath, with
out asking permission from Ireiaud's
ancient and lnyeterate foe TO enable him
TO co go.

ABOUT two weeks ago the statement
was published in the newspapers. based
upon dispatch from Harrisburg, that
an ex-memSer of the House from Phila-
delphia, named HUM, was in that city
engaged IN buying postage stamps from
the members at discount. It was sta
ted that up to February Sd Huhn claim
ed that he had cleared 500, and that he
thought he could double that amount
before the close of the session. Assu-
ming that all this is true. and that it is
there IS net much doubt, who must bear
the blame for such disgracefuI huckster-
ing 2 Our answer is that the mem bers
themselves are responsible. Under the
act of 1874 fixing the compensation of
members of The Legislature, each mem
Der is allowed one hundred dollars worth
OF postage stamps. When letter post
age was three cents this amount repre-
sented :, 1888 stamps, but as the postage
is now two cents it represents ire Hous-
and stamps, more than enough to last
each member during his natural life.
They are his property, however, IN pur-
suance Of the law, and he has right to
sell his surplus stock if he Is mean
enough to engage in that method of
swindliug the State. This postage
stamp law has been in existence for elev-
en- years and although it is a most pal
pable and stupendous fraud, no man in
the Legislature has had the courage and
honesty to attempt it's repeal and the
enactment Of a fair and reasonable sub
stItute. Mr.. Horne, of this county, in
troduced a bill some time ago in re-
gard TO the pay of the members and of.
hceTs OF the House, bnt we do not know
what provision his bill makes in regard
to postage stamps. He is we'll aware
that it is swindle of the biggest di-
mensions and that it ought to be cut up
by the roots, and we trust he has made
a plain provision in his bill on that sub
ject- Does his bill allow each member
one hundred dollars for stationery. as
the Harrisburg papers said it did, when
ne offered it ? If it does it as indefen-
sible as the postage stamp iniquity.
Members are now allowed ffy dollars
FOR stationery, whereas half that amour ;
would be more than sufficient. Pos age
stamps and stationery for the members
of the two houses now cost the State
over thirty-seven thousand dollars per
session.

GOV. HOADLY, Of Ohio, was one OF
the speakers at the Democratic banquet
at the MoEOngahela House, Pittsburgh
on Thursday evening of last week, and
responded to the sentiment, The Dem.

things be said
Let rs not be unduly concerned with the

counsel, not counsellor. II the face Of the
nation be iXetly set, and the step Tesslutely

We ask OF Mr. Cleveland two thugs only
FIRST, that those offices which directly or in-
directly affect the course Of public events
shall be filled with Democrats and, second
IL, that the administration Of public affairs
shall itself be Democratic. In bis difficult
task Of leading the party in its management
OF public affairs the DemOcratic party will

The LAWS DELAY, which Ham

THERE is a growing movement in the
docks OF London and among builders
and o5her tradesmen to dispense with
the services Of Irish laborers, fifteen
hundred Irish workingmen having re-
Gently been summarily dismissed from
buildings in the course Of erection in
East London. Similar discharges, but
on a smaller scale, have taken place at
Liverpool, Manchester and other large
towns. This is the result of the gospel
OF dynamite, as preached by O'Donovan
ROssa and his insane followers, who ad-
vocate the blowing up Of public build
ings in England as a means of cOeTcing
the government of that country into an
acknowledgement of the independence

AT caucus OF the Republican mom-

the other day, the country was plainly
given to understand OF what kind Of
material the majority OF that body is
composed. The bill forfeiting fifteen
millions of acres Of land granted by
Congress to the Texas Pacific Railroad
Company, was passed by the House by
an almost unanimous vote, as their was
no decent pretext for any opposition to
it, But at the caucus referred to the
the Republican senators resolved not to
take action on that or any other land

The Democratic House enforced the
platform Of the Democratic National

Logan with supreme contempt. The

E5ENssURc. Pa,
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1885.

THE impression now prevails at Wash
ington that an extra session OF Congress
will be avoided, but there is no absolute
certainty that such will be the case. If
the legacy of al extra session is left to
Mr.. Cleveland it will be a most unfor-
tunate beginning for his administration.
A House that contains over seventy of
a Democratic majority, ought to be
able, i: wise counsels prevail, to prevent
such a calamity.
