The exceeding earnestness Of the
/ Loyalists in the late elections in Ire
land, in making so many abOrtive at
tempts to defeat the Parnellites has
been in some respects very disastrous
to their pretentions. 1t shows up their
insignificant strength, and in contrast
the Parnellites appear far stronger than
ever before. Tn some instances many
imagined that those who were support
ers Of the Queen and her misrule were
much stronger than they now appear.
Heretofore their greatest power was in
the unknown quantity. Outside OF
Ulster, the city Of Cork, and one diyi-
SION Of the county and city Of Dublin,
the totals Of the votes polled by them
have been comparatively fractional,
and do not at all represent the proper
ton which the Loyalists have always
claimed to exist between them and the
Nationalist. AS rule the polls have
shown this proportion to be few
score, or at most a few hundred, to as
many thousands of Nationalist. In
one case, indeed, the Loyalist candidate
polled only 40 votes to 8, 500 cast for his
opponent. From this point of view
English1nen must see how completely
mistaken was their idea that any but a
most insignificant section Of the people
outside Of Ulster were opposed to the
Nationalist demand, or that the rela-
tive proportions of the creeds represent
at all the proportions of political
opinions.

Home Rule to be Demanded.


Already it is recognized that the is
sue first and foremost in the new Par
liament-th issue which will command
attention for settlement of some sort
in priority of all others-is Home Rule,
and it is precisely on this question that
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain
are as far apart as the poles. On this
fact Mr.. Parnel counts almost as much
as on holding the balance between the
two parties. Everything that Nh.
Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dixie have
uttered since the election shows that
they, too, count on this. Moreover, on
this subject Mr.. Gladstone is with the
Radicals rather than the Wings, and
reliance may be placed on his ability to
hold all but a score or so of his party
for almost any Irish policy. Thus it
will be in Mr.. Parnell's power to make
Mr.. Gladstone premier any time he
chooses and let the G.. O. M close his
career as he said in a recent letter he
had bor~

Outside Of the Leagues Programme.

In an interview w ednesday, in Dub
lin. Mr.. Harrington said that ! 800 Ma
tlonal League branches, averaging $40
members, had donated 9i2.O00 sterling
to the executive committee during the
present year. He said that some OF the
Nationalist's members OF Parliament
would receive salaries from the league.
The extinction of the Liberals, be
thought, would Immensely benefit the
Irish cause He considered that this
defeat was due To the appeals TO the re-
ligious bigotry made BY Lord Harring-
ton IN his speeches made at Belfast, Mr.
Harrington also lsaid that boycotting
was outside the league s program, and
that the practice was confined to few
branches. The executive committee, he
said. would not NEEDLE with local at
fairs generally, but would stop boycott
ting. whenever such power was misused.

london dispatches Of this week show

# London dispatches of this week show
the political situation to be a serious
one. Gladstone is urged by influential
supporters to split the party and carry
over his supp orters to the Chamberlain
and Dixie wing, uniting all sections of
radicalism and throwing up the Wing
element. In no other way, it is con
tended, can Tory-Whig alliance
against Irish legislation be defeated.
The Noneonformist element in the
party is dead against coalition between
Gladstone and Salisbury, and threatens
secession if Gladstone refuses to unite
the progressive pro-Irish sections. The
dissensions in the Tory camp may lead
to the resignation of Lord Randolph
Churchill and the ministers working
with him, unless the cabinet accepts
the Irish government measure. The
opposing element in the ministry, led
by Lord George Hamilton, stand out
against concessions to the Separations
lists. The Loyalists refuse to sanction
| the introduction of any measure going
further than the establishment OF
county boards partly elective, with
| power over local expenditures and con-
troll over local matters. The Hamilton
section are backed by formidable fol
| lowing of the landed interest and re-
volt against the Churchill denonina-
ton can only be averted by Churchill
withdrawing his Irish proposals and
asserting to a less advanced measure
/ A ministerial crisis is unavoidable I'M
less mutual concessions are made with

derstood to have refused to accept the
resi- gnation Of the ministry, and to in
sist on their retaining Office until an
adverse vote on vital questions had
been given by the house Of commons
The Liberal leaders have declared that
to grant Ireland local parliament is
the only safeguard to the integrity OF
the empire, and a measure to that end
will be introduced Immediately after
the opening Of parliament.

always stood in the way of his political
prefsrment. The young Democracy OF

STONE ARCH BRIDGE.
No Reason Why Objection Should be
Raised to Its Being Built.

A telegram from Washington states
that the Secretary Of War has sent to
W.. De La Barre, engineer and agent OF
the Minneapolis Mill Company, a letter
in reply to one forwarded to him, recit-
ing the action of the company at the
recent meeting, when it was decided to
take action to prevent, if possible, the
building of the stone arch bridge. Sec
Rotary Endicott's letter is as follows:
.sI have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt Of your letter Of the 18th ult.,
enclosing a petition of the mill owners
and others representing, that efforts
are being made by the municipal atl-
thorities of Minneapolis, Mimi, to
erect stone arch bridge across the
west channel Of the Mississippi river,
at the side OF the present suspension
bridge, and expressing the opinion that
the construction of said bridge will
prove detrimental to the West Side
water power. In response t., your re-
quest for an investigation by the en-
gineer officers Of the army, and for
proper action in the matter by the de-
partment. beg to advise you OF the
following report in this case from the
Chief of Engineers: The executive
branch Of the government. under the
opinion of the Attorney General, dated
May i. 1885, in the matter OF the rail-
road bridge across the Mississippi river
at ST. Paul. has no authority to inter
fere with the construction Of the bridge
under consideration, and If it had,
there does not seem to be necessity
for any action on bis part. It will
therefore be seen that the department
has no right to interfere in the matter.
In this connection attention il invited
to the views expressed on the subject
OF bridges over naYigable rivers IN my

The Press association says that Mr..
Gladstone, foreseeing the increase in
strength Of the Parnell party drafted
scheme four months ago for the govern
rnent Of Ireland, according to which
the power of veto by the craWn could
be exercised only On the advice Of a
privy council convened especially to
discuss the subject iii question. The
other points in the scheme are the
same as already published. The pro-
ject was submitted to few political
friends Of Mr.. Gladstone. Since the
elections there has been no formal CON
SITUATIONS ON the subject and i t is not
known whether or not the details Of the
project have since been modified. 1T is
supposed Mr.. Goschen, who is almost
certain to be chancel lor of the exche-
quer in the next g ladstone cabinet, will
support the scheme. Mr.. PafneH was
at Chester on Wednesday,, but had no

Charles Dixie in a speech at Chelsea

lservatives in rejecting proHered sup

The Times says:
The real danger is that amid endless
protests against separation and illusory
safeguards of imperial unity, the CON
ltrol Of the commons will be gone, and
will never be recovered except by civil
war. We trust England will preceive
before it is too late. It would be- bet
ser to cut off connection bsolutely and
to provide for dealing with Ireland as
an. open foe than to; arm traitors by the
farce Of pretending to maintain unity
without the power to enforce single
law disapproved at Dublin
The Standard yesterday morning de-
plores Mr.. Gladstone s political proflig-
acy. The morning Post predicts civil
war. "a letter from Mr.. Herbert Glad
stone was read at the National Liberal
club last night in which he says that
Mr.. Parnell has not inf ormed the Lib
eral leaders in detail what measures
would satisfy him, and that much de-

A memorial has been issued to Con
gress asking that this Federal constitu-
ton Of ours be so amended as to abol-
the Office of President, and to vest the
machinery Of government in a certain
council to be chosen by Congress. All
this was done in q session of the North
American Union Of Radicals, y held in
Milwaukee a short time since. Having
glided along pretty smoothly for over
a century under the present system it
isn't likely that Congress will lose any

Naturalization.

One of the most important sugges-
tions made in President Cleveland's
message is on the subject of Natural
ization.. He says:
"Tbe inadequacy of existing legisla-
ton, touching citizenship, and natural
ization demand your consideration.
While recognizing the right of expatri-
alton, no statutory provision exists pro-
viding means for renouncing citizen
ship by an American citizen, native
borne or naturalized, nor for terminal
ing and vacating an improper acquisi-
ton of citizenship. Even a fraudulent
decree of naturalization cannot now be
cancelled. The privilege and franchise
of American citizenship should be
granted with care, and extended to
those only who intend in good faith to
assume it's duties and responsibilities
when attaining it's privileges and ben
e6ts 1t should be withheld from
those who merely go through the forms
of naturalization with the intent of es-
Gaping the duties Of their original
allegiance, without taking upon them
selves those of their new status, OF
who may acquire the rights of Amer.
cam citizenship, for no other than q
hostile purpose towards their original
governments. These evils have many
fragrant illustrations. I regard with
