clos y the recent Outrages in Westminster and the
Tower of London. We believe that 1t will have
IN excellent effect in promoting good feeling
between England and Ireland. In London 1t Is
considered hazardous experiment and the Prince
IS compmented upon his courage and pluck In
exposing himself in the city where Lord Frederick
Cayendish WAS murdered. He will DO well re-
ceived, we are sure, by the Irish population. They
have no quarrel with the Queens household. They
will welcome him with cordiality and respect In
token of their appreciation of the confidence which
be reposes in them
Mr.. Cleveland gets an ugly blow between the
eyes In the compliments Of The Rochester Union.
That paper is cruel enough to strive to make It's
readers believe that the Presidentelect approves OF
Mr. Dorsheimers Silver bill. We submit that Inc
Union is carrying its hostility to Mr. Cleveland
too far.
The Erening Post after suspending publication
from saturday until Tuesday returns to It's abnse
of senator-elect Evarts with renewed vigor. When
one rejects that Mr. Evarts's election has been
generally commended alike by political friend and
foe it is difficult to account for The Posts course in
regard to him save one theory. III Its Editor
yearns for substantial recognition at the hands OF
the next Administration he may conclude that TO
pitch into Mr.. Evart. is to play trump card. But
can it be that the heart of Mr.. Cleveland is to be
won by such tactcsf
It was an iustrious conference that took place
at Mr. Cleveand's on Monday, when Lucius
Quintus Curtius Lamar. Carl Schurz Daniel Man

Just what lesson was being taught the Presidential
pupil Is left to q wide range of conjecture. 1t may
have been the story of JEFF Davis the Patriot that
was dramatically spread before him. 1t may be
that he WAS told how to manage the Interior
Department SO that its occupant might stand III
with the great railroads on going out OF office.
Or it may have been political strategy and trading
or cipher dispatches that were under consideration
Whatever the topic of discussion, the gathering
WAS a remarkable mixture of political chicanery.
sham reform and Southern iire-eating such as only
Democratic victory could involve.
Colonel Mcclure of The Philadelphia Times denies
the report that he awi shortly lay down the
editorial pen to don the clerical robes" The denial
is well calculated to depress the spirits of sundry
Louisiana patriots who their living by the

Mr.. Hendricks has been presented nth a beautiful
oayel made of eight pieces of Indiana hickory. II
is said to be an exquisite piece of Workmanship.
and vet We suspect that if Hendricks could induce
Cleveland to swap places with him he. would give

hickory.

A Chicago man was elected president Of the Citi-
zens, Law and Order League of the United States
the other day. In the interest of the Leagues
success il Is TO DO hoped that lie will not feel any
delcacy in combining its operations to his own town
for the next ten years. In that time beginning
will have been made and some idea can be formed
of how the League will work
Mr.. Schurz probably went to Albany to tell tho
President that he does not want an office. For the
sake of the President-elect's pocket we hop pc the
ex-Secretary didn't make speech.
BE It far from us to raise any objection if
Commissioner Squire wants to be poet. though
such tendency Is little disconcerting. But we
do insist that he shall be more precise wheh ITO
writes verses like this:
O. sing, and all my tears shall cease,
And Grief forget tts signs, -,
As meath thy touch the chords pour Iorth
