represent the better element, and in
this instance there was no percepti-
BILE variation. This is a fact about
which there need be no argument;
yet in particular instances the best
man may not be the Republican
candidate. In the second ward the
influence of the saloon seems SUI
premc. This element has a perma-
nent and steady interest in the alder
manic elections, because they haye
something personal at stake; while
the better element is moved only
spasmodically which dies away be-
fore its effect is felt. 1t ought to be
matter Of business to take part in
the local elections. More is involv-
ed even in an aldermanic than in a
state election. The aldermen exer-
else a measure Of control over the
schools-they can do something
toward limiting the school capacity;
they determine the extent and char
acter of city improvements, the pre-
caution to be taken against diseases,
the manner of distributing the enor-
nous fund over the expenditure Of
which they have control. Indeed
the tone of public morals depends
in large measure upon the character
of the men in the council, The
vaiue of property is influenced by
the manner in which the municipal
affairs are conducted, and the com
fort and peace of the citizen is in a
measure involved in the result of an
aldermanic election. 1t is only
when all his legitimate efforts to i'm
prove the character of the common
council have failed, that the citizen
is entitled to be wrathful over bad
local government.

THE OUTLOOK FOR HOME RULE
Liberals Who May Antagonize Gladstone.
SHOCKING CRIMES AT AUSTIN, TEXAS.
WILL HIS PARTY STAND nv HIM:
Prospect That Many Liberals May
Refuse to support GladstOne's Home
Rule Scheme.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 26.-When Mr.. Gladstones pro-
posals for home rule first appeared, the Daily
Ne"s declared editorially that il attached no
importance to such rumors. and expressed the
belief that Gladstone had said nothing beyond
his utterances in Midlothian. To-day an edi-
torlal in the NeWs contains the following
passage: "An Irish parliament, strictly limited
10 legislation on purely Irish questions and TO
leS1slatlon on them in conformity with the
fundamental principles on which the policy of
the United Kingdom is based, would, in our
belief, be the beginning of pacification, and is
the essential condition of it, This sentence In
the organ Of the liberal party shows how COM
pletely Gladstones action has changed the
aspect of the Irish question, and is itself a suf-
cient retutation of the doubts ii protested on
the subject. The Nanddri, tory, has passage
of the same meaning. Gladstone" il says,
"has done more for home rule in a week than
Parnell and his agents have done through years
OF toll" 1t suggests that the Irish nationalist
movement would be more property called the
course, throws a cheerful veil over the political
warfare, but il Is quite certain that the hearts
OF the moderate and even advanced liberals
throughout the country are being severely
tested by the home rule question. have been
surprised to find how deeply the recent Irish
manifesto has embittered the provincial liberals
against Parnell. They abstain carefully from
stating their own exact attitude. but express
the belief that Gladstone will have much diff
Guilty in carrying his party. The Spectator sum-
marizes the situation regards Irish lands, as
recently formulated by r. p. O'Connor i'm the
Times as follows: ireland is to do as she likes
pay nothing and be protected by British fleets
and armies. Why not require also that Eng
lish men should gratuitousiy reap Irish cropS?'
All these elements of dscord point To one thing
viz: The Irish question will not be decided

THE SILVER COINAGE QUESTION.
COngressmen Who Are I'm Doubt.
A COMPROMISE MEASURE LIKELY TO PASS THE
HOUSE.

Among the Congressman mentioned in the
morning papers as favoring the suspension OF
coinage OF the silver dollar is Mr.. Hatch, of Mis-
souri,. Mr. Hatch is we'll known to be one of the
most radical silver men in the House. He said
to STAR reporter that Bland himself was not
more bitterly opposed to any interference with
silver than he. The only legislation he would
favor would be to give free and unlimited
coinage.
Mr.. Maybury is mentioned as opposed to the
suspension. He is as far the other way. He told
a STAR reporter that he would favor the sus-
pension Of silver coinage
The fact is that ii is impossible to judge Of the
strength or weakness of either side of the ques-
ton in the House. Many OF the members are
in doubt, and the opinion is pretty generally
expressed that neither side has a majority as ii
now stands but that the balance of power is
held by those who have not yet made up their
minds. The fight will be TO win these doubtful
votes, and some compromise measure is likely
to come in for pretty strong support.
NE Brown, OF Pennsylvania, Is preparing a
bill for the free coinage of silver limited only to
the home production, and for the issue OF certi.
ficates on the dollars coined or upon the bull
lion.

MYSTERIOUS CRIMES IN AUSTIN,
The City Terribly Excited Over the
Murder OF Three Persons.

GALVESTON. TEX, Dec. ga special dated
yesterday from Austin to the Net says: Two
terrible crimes were committed in this city last
night after midnight, which will undoubtedly
result in three deaths, and there is no telling
how many lynchings. During the past year
Austin has been Mortified every few weeks by
some dastardly attack on servant women, both
white and coIored. Fully dozen servants
have been outraged and eight murdered within
this period. The crimes all bore evidence OF
being perpetrated by the same person. Every
effort has been made TO apprehend the crimi-
mails. skilled detectives being employed. Many
negroes were arrested and put through q rigid
examination, but nothing came OF the efforts.
Many citizens and some officials held 10 the
theory that the crimes were perpetrated by
some insane person who cunningly devised
how he could shed women's blood without APP
prehension. About midnight last night w. Ii.
Hancock, weli-to-do carpenter, residing at
DOB Water street, was awakened by groans.
Entering his wfes chamter he found the
vacant bed covered with blood spots. He fol.
lowed the trail out of the front door around
found his wife weltering i'm a pool OF blood. She
had been struck twice across the head and
was fractured. Although still alive
physicians say she will surely die from her
wounds. Mrs Hancock is 40 Years of age. and
is still a handsome woman. She bears an un-
bemiShed character. In the midst of the great
excitement produced by this outrage the citi-
zens were appalled, at learning OF a still greater
same hour several squares distant. At L o'clock
Mrs. Phillips residing at 3oS Hickory street,
was awakened Dy tne cries Oh Der grandson.
Entering the room of her son, James Phillips,
she found the infant on the bed covered with
blood and Phillips lying senseless from a terri
BILE blow across the head. Ella Phillips, the
wife, was missing The affrighted neighbors
followed the bloody trail and found her body
lying in the back yard of the adjoining prem
ises. Death had resulted from a blow on the
forehead with an axe. Across the body lay
heavy rails. Her person had been outraged.
There is no clue in either case. The excitement
on the streets during the day was very great.
Christmas was forgotten. The mayor called a
meeting of citizens at the state house, and
nearly q thousand responded to the cali. A
committee on public safety was organized. The
feeling over these last outrages Is intense A
houSe-to-houSe search for the bloody-handed
murderers will probably be made.
