Mr.. PAREELL's TACTICS

Although Mr.. Parnelrs motion Of in
quiry was rejected in the British House
of Commons, he gained a substan-
iial victory in the Ministerial assuT,
ance that the new Viceroy would initiate
the desired investigation without any
specific instructions from Parliament.
The speeches of Sir Michael Hicks Beach
and Lord Randolph Churchill leave no
room for doubling that the conservatives
mean to retain the confidence and sup,
port of the Parnellities
To unbiased observers at a distance it
is very clear that Mr.. Gladstone and the
majority of his cabinet made capital
blunder in defending the course pursued
by Earl Spencer in the Maamtrasna case.
There is not a shadow of doubt that at
least one inoffensive old man was hanged
and many persons were condemned to
penal servitude on perjured testimony
which was knowingly and deliberately
suborned By the Crown prosecuting Off
Ger, the scoundrel Bolton, who had re-
solved to establish an agrarian and politi'
cal motive for a hideous crime. Misled
by his subordinates, Earl Spencer seem.
ingly concluded that to confess the error
would only produce scandal, and he sub
sequently refused to review the case. The
obvious and natural result was to bring
the whole administration of the law into
disrepute because its face was set agains
redressing deplorable outrage and in
justice. Having awaited their opportun
ity the Parnellites cast the Gladstone
ministry out of power, and now carry
their point with manifest gain of pres
tige which will give a strong impetus t
their agitation for local self government

FILTH FOR REVENUE ONLY.

The publication of specific instances
and examples Of the grossest and most
abominable forms Of vice which have de-
graded London was warranted in that
city when the object of such publication
was to put an end to the disgusting evils
complained of. To expose crime or vile
practices at the time and place of their
commission is to check or diminish them.
To bring the force Of public opinion TO
bear in London as the most potent agency
to assist in preventing the continuance Of
the most beastly immoralities carried
with it its own justification. But the re,
publication Of nasiiness because it is mas,
tiness and because it has market value
in another hemisphere is an act Of an,
Other moral hue or color. The reprint of
the foar chapters Of denominations from
the Pail Mall Gq.dts in the New York
Sun Is the circulation Of obscenity for
profit. 1t is Offering filth for sale for the
pennies it will bring in There can be no
pretence that the reprinting Of these re-
voting details three thousand miles away
can influence the action of the authorities
in London. The high moral purpose
which we may assume actuated the Eng
lish journal is therefore wanting. The
Sun can have neither a moral, philan.
thropic nor religious motive. To empty
out the sewerage from the filthest sinks OF
iniquity and moral cesspools of London
On New York is reserved for the one
model journal which shines or shines fol
all. 1t alone has been infected. II
there are any known means of disinfect
ing paper saturated with such moral
contagion the San should seek to be agar
made clean. 1t should purge itself of tint
offence Of unloading the prurieut garbage
of London upon decent society for thu
revenue that the dumping of such dir
brings.
