nomERuLe FOR IRELAND.

The success of Mr.. Parnel's tactics is
Stlikingiy shown by the fact that the party
lie helped defeat is already making oyertures
to him for his support in the next Parlia-
ment by advocating Homerule for Ireland.
Q to put it more correctly Mr.. Gladstone,
the recognized leader, is, for it may and
probably viii happen that one wing of that
party, the nne led by Lord Harrington, may
not be willing to join in these overtures.
The Tories now that election is over are dis
posed to concede much less than their ac-
ceptance of Irish support and their profess
sions in the campaign gave reasons to ex-
pect, and their offer, whatever it is, it is quite
evident is not satisfactory to Mr.. Parnell.
Accordingly the Irish dictator
has turned to Mr.. Gladstone The
great Liberal leader has not turned
a deaf ear. In a dispatch design
ed to correct in utterance of one of the Lon
don papers purporting to represent his views
he distinctly declares that he believes that
Homerule may now be safely granted to Ire
land. Lord Salisbury will remain in office
until Parliament meets, bit it is hardly pos
sible that his ministry can long survive afte
that event. The address from the throne
prepared by the Tory minister will probably
propose some mild reforms in the govern
ment Of Ireland. Mr.. Gladstone vii
move an amendment, declaring in favor
OF more radical measures, and then the initial
contest viii come. OF course Mr. Gladstone
will be supported by the Nationalists The
Radicals, too, can hardly refuse to support

him unless they are ready to throw con-
sistepcy to the winds. But the attitude of
the Harrington wing is doubtful. 1t is hard
liz probable, however, that enough of his
own party will revolt from Mr.. Giadstone's
programme to defeat the amendment. II
the amendment is carried Lord Salisbury
will recognize it as defeat and
speedily resign. Mr.. Gladstone will
then take Office and bring forward
his scheme for the government of Ireland,
which no doubt will contain a concession of
practical home rule. His success thereafter
will depend very much upon the nature of
his programme. Danger besets on him on
both sides If his programme is too radical,
a considerable portion of his own party will
refuse to support it, while unless the con-
cessions are very substantial Mr. Parnell
will withdraw his aid. The situation is
full Of difficulties, and it is by no means
certain that the genius of the Liberal
leader and his great influence with his party
will be sufficient to tide him safely over.
The coming session viii without doubt be
one of the most important and exciting of
modern times, and the autcome is as likely
to be dissolution and new election as any

The Senate has passed Senator Hoar'S bill
to regulate the Presidential succession, but
the matter is still to be considered in the
House, and the probability is that there will
be long debate, and that measures in
great number and variety will be offered as
substitutes for the Hoar bill. As is well
known, the Hoar bill, in case of vacancy in
both the offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent, provides that Cabinet officers shall
succeed, beginning with the Secretary of
State. We're this measure a law, and Mr..
Cleveland to die any time during his
term Secretary Bayard would perform the
duties of the Presidential office until the
close of the term for which the President
was elected. The advantages of this ar
rangement over the present plan are numsr-
Gus and Important. In the first place. it
continues the administration of the Presi-
Dental Office in the hands Of the party to
which the country committed it by its suf-
fragcs 1t makes 1t practically certain too
that there will always he somebody to fill the
executive chair in case of a vacancy. Under
the present law we have seen that contin
gcncy may occur, and not very remote one
either, when there will be absolutely nobody
weeks after Vice President Hen
dricks's death there was nobody who
could perform the duties OF the exec
utiye had the President died. The only OBJ
lection, or at least the principal one, to Mr.
Hoar's plan is the one suggested by Mr..
Edmunds in his speech in the Senate, name
Is, that it is not consonant with the theory
of orr government inasmuch as it puts it in
the power OF. the President to name
his own successor. This objection
is likely to be voiced in the House by good
many members, and it will not be strange if
it receives considerable support. Mr.. Dibble
of South Carolina has already proposed
joint resolution to settle the succession by
constitutional amendment, which provides
for the election, at the same time of the cleo
tion OF President and Vice President, of
second Vice President, who shall become
Vice President in case the first Vice Presi-
dent shall become President. Another
proposition is made by the New York Sun,
which suggests that inasnuch as in case of
the failure If the electors to choose Presi-
dent and Vice President tie constitution de-
wolves the dGty upon the House Of Req
resentatiycS, the arrangement most in
consonanee with the constitution in
ease Of vacancy i'll the office of
President and Vice President would be TIE
immediate assembling OF the House and the
choosing by it Of a President.

rHE LICENSE QUESTION.

The question Of license or no license, high
license or low license is sgitating the Penn
sylvsaia Legislature With even greater force
than it is our own. The Philadelphia
Times, q very liberal journal takes the fol-
loving view Of the situation in that State:
When q popular movement grows from
yea- TO year and finally gets bigger than the
obstacles in its path, wise men viii bend be-
fore they are broken. The license question
row before the Legislature is just such 3
movement, and there viii be either q string
eat license law passed BY the assent or aid
Of those who are in the liquor trade, or there
viii be tearing up by the roots Of the
whole license system.
Tie present license law is shamsfnlly de-
fectiys and loose in its provisions. 1t
practically offers no limitations or restraint
upon the license Of retailers Of beer and h
ouors, except in cases Of extreme abuse OF
the system. It has made Philadelphia q
forest Of liquor saloons. and no class Of our
citizens should be more earnest in limiting
the number Of saloons and in fixing re-
spopsibiiiy for violations Of the laws, than
reputable men who are licensed as saloon
keepers.
II Is madness to assume that six thou
sand licensed liquor saloons can continue
in philadelphia. There is no need for halt
the number, and one-third the number
would be q superabundauce. With SIX
thousand saloons in the city, II is not posi-
= Die for them to be maintained without the
habitual violation Of law, and the excess OF
numbers and the fragrant abuses which ex-
eessive numbers must cause, imperahyely
demand q heroic revision OF the license
system. and If that fails the sweep OF reyo-
luton viii come,
A stringent Ecense system would strip
the saloonsySof a large measure OF public
od;um thai now attaches to them, because
II void wipe out the dives" and TIC low
run mills which bring disrepute upon the
sAlIng and shame and disorder upon the
city. And all who can intelligently read
the signs Of the times, must see that either
n k;eh license system, with proper safe
guards for both licensed men and the p1blle
or q revolutionary prohibition movement
must come.
Our whole political system in this city
and all the cities OF the State excepting
Pittsburg, has become q saloon system Of
partY direction. Every precinct and ward
centres its poh6cs in saloons, and political
and social generalization inevitably follow
AnditeAn't be otberwiseWhile nearly every
precinct has It's half score Of saloons, breed
ing political bummers to tax honesty oui
ofpoiilics, and drive the best citizens from
active participation in public Affairs. It IL
the reputable saloon keepers who are mos
urgently called upon to look these facts II
tie face and intelligently estimate thc
logical results, in view Of the overwhelming
popular opinion that is imPressing itsel
upon the Legislature. If they shall no
bend, they viii be broken, and that Is thu
end of argument on the question.
