of the former and where everything is,
by law, against the many that the few

possible, become poorer. What must

does result; just what has resulted; just
what will result over the civilized world,
unless wondrous changes are made.

Ireland is practically an isolated case,
in that she has ever been held by force,
and probably will ever be held by il. But
over the wide world, the grievances of
the poor are common, and as common
will be their vengeance on the rich when
once their wrath is kindled and their
cup of misery is full to overlooking.
Yesterday (the 10Th ms IT, was the an
niversary of the death of D'Israeli,
Earl of Beaconstield. He was the great
Conservative leader The North of Ire
land is conservative for reasons which
have been given above-at perhaps toe
great length. BeaconfelG's favorite
flower was the primrose, and as that
modest, fragrant flower is at its best at
this season of the year, by many the
18th of April is coming to be known as
Prip1rOSo nau in oOm tiOn of tho
anniversary of the great Conservative
leaders demise. Ladies wore the fair.
frail, yet becoming flower on their
breasts and it is "a just recognition of
m Oldest worthwhile gentlemen of the
Conservative persuasion, or admirers of
the defunct Earl personally, adorned
the lappels of their coats with the same
charming blossom The effect of the
recurrence of this day has been to invite
a contrast between the condition of
England politically while D'Israeh was
at the head of government, and its po-
sition now, with Gladstone, the Liberal, |
as leader, and it must be admitted the
contrast is anything but favorable to the
man (Gladstone) who is reported once
to have SAID in reply to an address, 81

People are in condition of
feyerish anxiety as to whether there
will be war with Russia or not. The
liberal organs advising peace, the con-
sentative journals soundly abusing |
Gladstone's ministry, terming it weak,
and referring to its policy as series of
disastrous blunders, which an imbecile |
might have anticipated and avoided.
The war question has, however. a
rival here in Importance, in the i'm
pending visit to Belfast of the Prince
and Princess of Wales. 1t is said the
decorations and demonstrations gen.
orally, of Belfast, will far surpass those
of Dublin The little town is certainly
putting forth its best efforts. The line
of the procession is shown by the plant
ing along the route. of poles alternating
in height twenty and thirty feet. These
poles are covered with Turky red, cheap
cotton cloth, each surmounted by a gild-
ed spear-shaped tip. At intervals arches
are being erected, while bunting is al
ready beginning to fly from the houses
on the line of march. There is some
pleasure in giving hurrah to Pres
ident of the United States, or to any
man, who, by his own exertion, has
raised himself to a position of import
ance; but 1 must confess this slobber-
ing over the visit of two individuals
whose greatness is an accident of birth,
and whose chief merit is the absence OF
sufficient brain to make them guilty of
any astounding vice, (this does
not say that the male part OF
the twain is not overly blessed with
becoming virtue), is painfully disgust
ing to me, raised in an American atmos
phere. The American gentlemen OF
the Tribune to the contrary, notwith-
standing. And it is assumed that the
visit of these two will compensate for
all the suffering British rule has brought
on Ireland The assumption and the
visit are but adding insult to injury
and if that assumption were just, the
Irish people would deserve the supreme
contempt of the. world. Their High
nesses will bless Belfast on Thursday
with a visit. That tale can be told in
the next. WANDERER.
