THE FEELING IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jan. 26.-At meeting OF
the local branch Of the National League
held 1T Clonmel to-day, town Council
man Phelan took the floor and spoke in
Justification of Saturdays outrages In
London. Approaching a climax, he
cried out, So long as England with
holds lreland's just rights these ex-
plosions by dynamite will continue I"
This declaration raised such n furious
storm of dissent that Mr.. Phelan WAS
silenced and retired to his seat. Then
the Catholic priest who was presiding
over the meeting took up the issue. He
denounced the work of the dynaIniters
as .outrages against Ireland and sin
against God with such stirring elo.
Iquence that the Councilman apologized
| tor his utterances and Withdrew his
remarks, requesting the mblage TO
forget that they had ever been de-
livered.

'nounced as cruel, oowardly and

WASHINGTON, D. c.. SEPT 1oolss
THE ANrI-REronM CRUSADE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York EccDiag PosL referring
TO the personal attacks that are being
made upon the members of the Civil
Service Commission and the possible,
though hardly probable contingency
of their removal and new appoint
mcnts, quotes the President rs having
said that in such an event he should
select men acquainted by long expert
cnce with the demands of the public
service-mcn who had risen through
the grades, become familiar with de
partmcntal duties and attained rcspon-
sible if not prominent positions. This
is only what might reasonably be cX-
pected of Il just and sagacious cXecu.
tive.
Says the correspondent further: AN
appointment under these conditions
could hardly satisfy those who are
working most cnergelically against the
Commissioners, and if the President 5
views were more widely known, the
crusade against the present Commis-
sion would probably be abandoned by
some of those who are now taking
most active part in it. -
1t is more probable, however, as
heretofore intimated by The CRITrc,
that the crusade has been instituted
not so much with the expectation Of
having the present incumbents re
placed with pliablc politicians or down
right partisans, as to bring both Com
missioners and Commission into such
gross disreputc that the President in
removing the one will be compelled 10y
the force of public sentiment to ignore
the other.
The crusade" is against the law as
well as against the officers designated
TO enforce it, and Mr. Cleveland will
doubtless so understand the matter.
Whenever the law shall be pronounced
unconstitutional by the courts, or be re-
pealed by Congress-, that will be the
end of it; but the President in the
mean time, will see to its enforcement,
and as n Civil Service reformer him
self, cOuntenance no crooked or ir-
regular scheme for defeating the ends
of reform, in behalf of which the law
was passed and the commission created,

NEW SOCIAL STARS.

There is always a varied collection
of curiosities in Congress. At the last
elections we were deprived of some of
these, which to our great delectation
had formerly been with us; but the
same elections compensated us by the
evolution of fresh lot Thus in Con
gressional elections as well rs in other
things in this life time evens up all
things.
Some of our brand new attractions
have already appeared in lurid streaks
upon the horizon and have been duly
presented TO our many and discrimi-
mating readers. The latest addition to

son, and we are told that he Is as "rich
as cream" and has his own ideas about
his future life in Washington. lie has
never been to the National Capital, II
seems, and thinks that maybe "he
won't catch on first rate" but he has a
daughter of whom he says that she
''has been both to Paree and Europe,
and he 'reckons he will let
her run things in social way just as
she likes" She can have a fine es-
iablishment and give as many swell
parties as she wants to. Mr., Stephen
son will even go further, lie will him

his own words, and will even consent to

MIR. EUsTIS' POSITION.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
correspondent says that Senator Eustis,
both to him and to others, has given
free expression of his views about the
Presidents Louisiana and other ap.
pointments. The correspondent pro.
nounces all rumors and statements that
Mr.. Eustis will enter into any frivolous
or captious opposition to the Admins
tration as simply preposterous. Mr..
Eustis holds that recognition should
have been given to the party organiza.
tion which has borne the brunt of the
battle, and in his opinion the other
course tends to discomfort and disinte-
grafton. Therefore he opposes it, But
he will not antagonile the Administra-
tion as an enemy from without All
the fight he has to make will be made
inside the lines of the Democratic
party.
He feels that the Administration will
be on trial in the Ohio and New York
elections. Should the result of those
elections indicate that Mr.. Cleveland
has the strong support of the party,
Mr. Eustis will accept the verdict On
the other hand he will conclude that
Mr. Cleveland is wrong and will act
accordingly, But whatever he does,
will be done in judicious spirit, and
for the defense of the Democracy, no
Tor its confusion.
The CRITIC has never been able tC
believe that Mr.. Eustis was going tc
bounce around promiscuously as ha
been said to be his intention. lie has
some very decided views and they d.
not altogether agree with those of Mr.
Cleveland, but he is possessed Of to
much political sense to instigate tata
quarrel or offensive faction in In
bosom of his own family.

TO the Patent Office. When he was in
