IRISH COERCION DEAD.

Englands proposed return to the policy of
coercion, as applied to the government of
Ireland, for the present is dead. And not
only dead now but for all time to come, unless
some extraordinary succession Of outrages
shall once more move Parliament to harsh
measures. Ireland is an issue, not between
Irish and English only, but between English
and English. Salisbury has given notice that
if the Conservatives go into control of the
government the coercion bill cannot re-
ceive their support. The Gladstone govern
ment was opposed to it, though afraid to
make the avowal, and it was the loss of Irish
votes that defeated The late Ministry. It is
fortunate for Ireland that the new Ministry
bids for her support, while in the event of the
return of the Liberals to power the same
favorable conditions will obtain. Friends of
home rule may well feel encouraged. 1t will
not follow this Immediately, and may not for
years, but an advance has been made, and
a better feeling prevails. Wisdom on the

part of the Irish peasantry will do much to-
ward bringing about the desired reform. 1t
ought to be apparent to the Irish that incom-
parably more has been accomplished in
Parliament than by all the VIC
lence and threats that have disgraced the
Irish people in the eyes of the world. An
assassination now would 60 far toward undo
ing all the good that has been accomplished,
and no true friend of Ireland would be so foolish
as to commit or encourage such damaging
act. The government, too, evidently under
stands the need of enlistiug Irish cooperation.
The good feeling already won should be cult
waited The glory, and strength, and wealth
of Great Britain would be enhanced by a
proper and generous treatment of the Irish
people. The wrongs of the past should be
recognized and righted as speedily as possible.
Ireland can be more easily ruled if less rigidly
ruled. Whatever may be the policy of future
succeed that does not command the alliance
Of the Irish and their friends. With this
prestige, Irish bitterness should be supplanted
by Irish dignity, and an earnest determination
to win greater concessions by deserving them.

BISHOP O'CoNNoR, of Nebraska and Wy
oming, in an interview published in the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal, deprecates extensive
Irish emigration, on the ground that to two
thirds of the people who leave Ireland for
America 'the change means misfortune and
physical hardship Of the most terrible kind,
besides moral degradation still more appall-
ing" The Bishop says that Gin the great
cities of the East Irish newcomers sink daily
until they become the scum of the population,
without money and without friends" In the
West he explains, there is no good
opening for Irish immigrants, for the reason
that they have little or no money to buy land.
This is a surprising idea to be advanced by a
priest and an Irishman at that There is a
deal Of truth in the description Of the condi-
ton of such Irish as settle in the Eastern
cities, where they drop into the Democratic
machine and are made practical serfs all their
lives. But it is hard to believe that the con-
dition of the Irish in this country, hard as it
may be, is not much better than in Ireland.

States would have been greatly benefited by a
war between these two powerful nations. The
great powers of the world are now too closely
united to make it possible for any one to
profit much by war between any two or
more of the others. In the long run, the
world at large has always been compelled to
pay the price Of every war; and now that inter-
communication is so perfect and contact so
close, the day of payment follows almost on
the heel of the day the debt is contracted.
The United States has great deal to do with
abroad, and she is getting to have more and
more as the years advance.

After College What?

New YORK Graphic
After college comes the choice and pursuit of
ones occupation. Here is where parents and
friends so often interfere and advise to the end
OF committing positive wrong. Don't try to fit a
square man into a triangular niche in the gal

for mechanics; friends force him to the law. He
drags out stunted existence as rDediocrity in
the profession, but his wife says: John is such

the worlds skilled artisans if he had been per-
mitted to follow the bent of his mind. There is
no music sweet to his ears as the whrr of ma

and screws, and the poetry of motion to his eyes

Two Holidays In the Week.

Of Sunday games of base ball and the like is
that there is really no other day on which the
bulk of our people 60 and see anything of
the sort The Puritans of the Long Pa riament
saw this. When they enacted and enforced very
strict laws for Sunday observance, they also
made Wednesday afternoon half holiday, not
for the summer, but for the round year. And
when the cavaliers came back with Charles they
repealed both the Sunday laws and the half
holiday law. The Puritans showed the sound
ness of their judgment, and the successors
might take leaf out of their book. 1t would
contribute greatly to that quiet and orderly
observance of Sunday which we all desire If
there were another part of the week set apart'for
wholesome amusements of O kind that had bet

A PROPOSED RAILWAY BANK.

An extraordinary resolution was passed by
the meeting Of railway presidents in New
York city recently, and it is remarkable as
much for the fact that it has not been pro-
mulgated as for any other. The railway men,
recognizing the fact that times are hard,
money scarce and railway property de-
preciating in value, set about devising means
of relief, and to that end resolved that i'm
mediate steps be taken to put into circulation
the idle millions now stored in New York
bank vaults, and this money placed at
the seYice of the deservin4but oppressed
railroad companies by the establishment of a
new bank. The books are to be opened at
once for subscriptions to the capital of this,
which shall be known as the Railroad Mutual
Indorsing and Discounting Bank. The capital
of the new bank is to be 500, 900, 900. In or
der to avoid the necessity for purchasing gov
eminent bonds at the present high premiums,
and, furthermore, to escape the government
tax, it was decided that the bank should be
stitution. Any railroad having share CAPT
tai of ov er 500, 0OO 900 may become stock
holder. In order to create public confidence
in the bank and draw into it's Golfers the USE
less 1863, 600, 900 now lying idle in the existing
banks, great care is to be exercised in the Sc
lection of the board of directors, and men like
Gould, Sage, Dillon, Cyrus W. Field and 9TH
ers are to be placed in charge. 1t
is explained that this institution will
be Of great service to railways. The princi-
pal services it will render to the stockholding
railways will be in guaranteeing them min
imum dividends Of per cent Any road
which falls short Of earning the amount re-
quired for per cent. dividend will simply
make a note, which shall be indorsed by all
the other railroads in the bank, whereupon
the latter will discount the note.s The effect
of this scheme will be immediate. Even the
feeblest roads will be enabled to guarantee
dividends and the public will rush into the
market to buy their stocks There will no
longer be any occasion for the railroads to cut
each others threats, and rates may be at once
restored to highly remunerative basis. Thus
tho roads will be able to redeem their notes,
and as a consequence, of course the public
will be benefited, while the bank will
pay handsome interest to its depositors.
This is very pretty plan and will be
a great boon, if it will only work in
the manner described. 1t is not apparent,
however, that the public will rush in to invest
in railway bonds with any greater alacrity
than now. And the number of roads that
fail TO pay dividends judging by the past,
will render aid necessary in a great many in
stances. If any difference, it would seem
that the cut-throat policy would obtain more
than ever, since dividend Of per cent. is

Miss FRANCES WILLARD has.found a new pro-
fession for women, that of practical philanthropy
Literature, without the highest talent, she re-
CARDS hopeless calling. journalism is diff
cult In lyceum lecturing only the most gifted
can win success. In music, save for the highly
endowed, there is no hope. In any and all the
professions commonly taken up by women she
points out that mediocrity is uncomfortable. In
the field of philanthropy, however, she declares
not in direct terms, but by implication, that any
sort of woman may succeed. They will not earn
wealth in the calling but she AYERS that they
may win sufficient income for moderate needs
Miss Willard is exasperatingly vague as to
detail. She fails to explain just how the
women are to proceed in order to learn how to
practice philanthropy, or, having become skill
full who is to pay them for the exercise of their
accomplishments. AS a general thing, the NH
lanthropic of earth supposed to look for
their reward in heaven but if there is something
more tangible and nearer at hand, women of
mediocre abilities, as we'll as other classes

MAJOR MCKINLEY, speaking of the aroused
tration in appointing SO many -confederates
to places Of honor and trust, correctly ex-
plains that it is not that these men have Of
fee, but it is the persistence with which they
seek to elevate the cause for which they
fought into holy one, and to degrade the
cause of the Union. This is the ground that
every loyal citizen must take. Twenty years
have elapsed since the war closed, and sec
tional prejudice should die. But it cannot
die unless the spirit of rebellion and disunion
die with it. 1t were mean and unpatriotic to
say that no man who fought in rebellion
should again be honored in this country, and
given high place in the restored Union. It is
contemplate and inimical to the Union that
of its righteousness and deploring its failure.
A people stultifes itself when it invites such
men. to share in the responsibilities of
governing the country for which they
do not hesitate to express contempt.
The men who fought to restore the Union
have hearty welcome for all confederates
who realize the mistake they made, and who
have come back into full sympathy with the
spirit and genius of the Union. But when a
man can declare the war for the Union a
bloody and unnatural violation of public
rights, and be sent at once to represent that
Union in one Of the greatest courts of the
world, there is occasion fer distrust and dis
gust. No President should so far forget his
duties to all the people as to honor such men
in any manner. They are unfit to enjoy the
immunities Of private citizenship.
