WILL NOT VISIT.

1t seems that Gladstone has been con-
templating visit to America, but has
now decided to go to Norway instead. 1t
is to be regretted that he is not coming,
for visit to the United States would
have shown him to what his own country
is gradually drifting-a republic in which
the voice of the people as expressed
through the ballot controls all. In the
present century no one Englishman has
done so much to make England demo-
cratic as Mr.. Gladstone, and every time
he has sought to modify English institu-
tions he has given greater recognition to
the rights of the people. That England
is destined to be republic some day
seems certainty; but when that day
comes no man can say what form her
institutions will take That she cannot
be federal government, such as the
United States, would seem to be fore
gone conclusion; and still she must
greatly modify the administration of in
ternal affairs, for now everything in Eng
land is done by Parliament, and questions
that in America are decided by the town
or the county there are decided by Par
liment. England's government is his
torical formation, and respect for history
is often guaranty for freedom and that
form of government in which it is found
Had Mr.. Gladstone come to America and
given American institutions his care
full study in their home, his views
would have been of great interest
and his criticisms likely of great benefit.
The criticisms of Herbert Spencer were
honest, and while Americans did not en-
tirely agree with him, still he pointed out
some things which are too much neglect
ed in the United States, to observe which
in future would probably be we'll Eng
lishmen have modified their views and
opinions of America and her institutions
within forty years; and things here
have been much modified in forty
years. Americans have become less
provincial and more cosmopolitan. |
To know how people look upon these
changes is the thing that interests all |
now, and especially to know what so ac-
and distinguished statesman
as Mr. Gladstone thinks of them is not
mere curiosity, but worthy desire. 1t
is probable now that we shall never know
what he thinks of America; but at all
events it is to be hoped that Mrs. Brassey
will not give to the world another account

THE CORNER STONE.

We have frequently said that the Gov
ernment should turn its attention, so far
as Utah matters are concerned, to polyg-
amy alone OF the correctness of this
theory OF things we become convinced
more and more, and will undertake to
give some reasons for such conviction
pact body and disposed to follow the ad-
vice and wishes OF its leaders is true As
result of this compactness and obedi
ence We have the doctrine AMI practice of
polygamy, and its institution is one of the
best evidences of the pretensions of the
church, this pretension is claim
to sovereignty. From this claim there
come many evils, but that which is
most patent and tangible is polygamy
To strike this down and compel the
people OF the Territory to recognize the
authority OF the Government in most
important matter. This the people of
Utah do not do, and that they do not
deny the right of the Government over
other things is because the constitution of
these other things does not come in con-
fiict with their notions as to their re-
ligious rights. Many who want to see
the Utah problem solved include too
many things in that problem, and this
only tends to turn attention from one
thing to another and to dwell upon no one
thing long enough to master it. Per
haps it would be better TO illus
trate this by citing a phrase from
the logicians: what is gained in
extension is lost in intension.
How shall the problem in Utah be best
and most speedily solved? In answer
we should say by an absolute suppression
of polygamy, and that to this suppress
sion the Government should direct all its
efforts in Utah. The people of Utah look
upon polygamy as chief corner stone of
their religion, and say that it has been
commanded by God lard He will not permit
it to be done away with, although He in
tends to greatly test the people by it.
The people of Utah elect polygamy as the
touchstone of the divinity of their faith,
and they say that what is divine cannot
be overcome by that which is human;
and this may be, but it is clearly the
duty of the Government to see whether
polygamy can be overcome, and q trial
by wager of battle is as good a test as toits
divinity as any other. Why the question
of polygamy should be chosen as the
point of attack to the exclusion OF all
others is plain to all who will reflect for
a moment. We will give the reason for
this in the words of gentleman who
lives in one OF the settlements and who
associates with the leading men OF the
church continually. Said he to us but
yesterday: "The Government cannot

ROBINSON CRUsoE's MONUMENT

Alexander Selkirk, the prototype of Rob
inson Crusoe, has been given monument at
the village of his birth, Largo, Scotland, but
Defoe who wrote the story, rests in a grave
in London that is marked only by a slab
Chicago Herald.
The man who gave to the world one OF
the most charming of tales does not rest
in grave unmarked by any monument.
In the quiet churchyard on City Road
where Defoe sleeps there is monu-
ment to his name, and this monu-
ment was paid for by the penny
contributions of the children who have
read the life and adventures OF famous
Robinson Crusoe. Could "storied urn or
animated bust in Westminster Alb
bey pay so touching a tribute to the MEM
ory of the man who has given to millions
of children Joy in the days of their inno-
cence before they knew what the wicked
ness of the world meant as this monu-
ment erected by the children to the mem
ory of Defoe? The life of Crusoe seems
more real than life itself, and what child
has not wept when he read of the house
and the goats on the lonely island? And
what child has not felt thrill of horror
and vague fear run through him when he
read of the solitary footprint upon the
sands near the sea shore? 1t has fallen
to the lot of few men to be a source OF SO
much happiness to the children as was
Defoe, and as Christmas. the children's s
day, comes on the morrow, it is fitting to
recall the memory of Robinson Crusoe,
the chldren's hero.

independence of Ireland, while 1t
would tend to draw the hearts OF the
Irish. who are by nature grateful peo-
pie. to England. English statesmen have
never been particularly happy in their
dealings with English dependencies.
America was lost to England through the
"pride of consistency" of Lord North
and others, and they have always insisted
that sauce which suited an Englishman
must necessarily suit every one else. To
think so is great mistake, and no nation,
no matter what its merits and worth, can
prepare an acceptable sauce, warranted
to keep in any climate. Mr.. Gladstone,
according to all reports, is preparing
special Irish sauce that will in every way
tickle the Irish palate, and it is to be
hoped that for the sake of adherlng to
some time-honored recipe, he will not
refuse to put into it the particular spice
that the Irish deem most essential, when
such spice will not take from England
anything of benefit to her.
Ireland is most unhappy and unfortu-
nate, and the cause for this state of
things is the history of mal-administra-
ton of England in Ireland for three
centuries The Irish have brought
many of their woes upon themselves,
and their political agitations have always
been marked by crimes of great atrocity.
During the agitation of the past five years
an almost unprecedented number of
crimes have been committed in Ireland,
and the assassination of Lord Cavendish
and Secretary Burke sent a thrill OF hor-
ror through the world. 1t is the COM
mission of these crimes which has alien
ated the sympathies of men from Ire
land, while to Ireland they have been
but a source of sorrow. When the re-
suits OF the triumph OF the late elections
shall be fully realized and Irish affairs
shall be under the control of Irishmen,
it is to be hoped that crime will entirely
cease in Ireland, and that in it's place will
come peace and prosperity.

THE IRISH TRIUMPH.

The result of the English elections is
practically an Irish triumph. Both Tories
and Liberals are considering scheme for
the reform of Ireland, the thorough re-
form of Ireland, and not the half meas
ures Of the past. The agitation OF Parnell
seems to have brought England to a real
ization OF the fact that matters in Ireland
were never worse, and that they will
never be better until the reasonable de-
mands of Ireland are complied with.
Among the most reasonable OF these de-
mands is that which says that the admin
istration of purely Irish affairs should be
left to the Irish. The demand is just,
and tu concede it would be most polite.
If this is done, and done Immediately and
graciously, England need have no
fear as to demands for the

suppress polygamy for the reason that
polygamy is of God. That our people
will be prosecuted on account OF their
adherence to polygamy. have no doubt.
A great many of them will apostatise,
but the church will go on Just the
same. No, sir; the Government cannot
suppress polygamy, for if the Govern
ment can suppress polygamy, then the
church is broken up, and if it can be
broken up then it is not of God"
These remarks are worthy of every at
tention, and let those who are making
the assault upon the Utah problem re-
member that polygamy is the farm OF
Hugomont in that problem.

THE EMERALD ISLE OF TO-DAY
Impressions Done Into SiietchWOrk
Engaging Spectaclcs.

Ireland's picturesquesness lies In Its
coast scenery. Its center is dead level
of bog or pasture land There are few or
none of the smiling harvest fields which
make England so pretty; the climate re-
fuses to grow cereals, and. alas the peo-
pie have not the persistent industry re-
quired for cultivated farming. Neat
hedgerows, well-kept woodlands, good
roads, and, above all, the sweet content
ed looking villages and hamlets that one
sees continually in England, must not be
looked for here Yet it was a greenland
pleasant country that we swept through
no, crawled through-Irish railways al
ways crawl-and reaching our station at
last, we mounted, defiant of old Time,
the familiar outside car with its lively
Irish pony. Excellent animal That day
he did forty miles in sixteen hours.
Does anyone know how delightful it is
to drive across the country in an outside
car, with just enough necessity for hold
ing on to keep your mind amused, and
just enough jolting and shaking to give
you "the least taste in life'' of horse eX-
efcise? How pleasant to feel the wind
in your face and see the rain clouds drift
ing behind you-to catch in passing the
sights and scents of moore and gorse, OF
ditch bank primroses and hidden hya-
cinths, and the yellow CLEAN OF whole
acres OF cowslips. never saw so many
cowslips or so large; a sign, alas OF poor
land When the soil improves, the cow
slips always disappear. And for birds
there seemed a blackbird in every tall
tree, and a dozen larks singing madly
over every bit of common. But of human
habitations there were very few. Now
and then group of little Kerry COWS
mostly black-or family of happy pigs,
often black, too, dotted the pastures, i'm
plying another family close by, who
turned out to gaze from what might be
either cabin or COW shed, or both-half
clad boys or girls, one could hardly tell
which, with wild shocks of hair and
splendid Irish eyes, full of fun and intel
ligence And sometimes we passed a
woman with shawl over her head, Irish
fashion, carrying a huge bundle and per-
haps child as well, who first looked at
us and then looked away. Thin, poverty
pinched faces they often were, but neither
coarse, sullen, nor degraded, nothing like
the type of low Irish that one sees in
towns Much to be pitied truly, but GER
tainly not to be despised. Some, perhaps,
drop curtesy to ''the quality" but, gen
orally, they look at US with dull curios-
ity and pass on. Little enough have 'the
quality done for them, poor souls!
