b CLERGYMAN in this day and genera
was more highly esteemed than Cardi-
[McCloskey. Henry Ward Beecher, on
day last, evidenced that fact in what
aid that was so beautiful and sympa-
|ic. But tribute of even greater value
that offered by the Southern Baptist
bciation at its session on Thursday af-
loon, when the Rev. H. NJ. Sanders,
lerator of that body, called attention
Cardinal McCloskey's illness and in
d the Rev. DIR. Elder, pastor OF the
rch of the Epiphany, to lead the as-
bly, in prayer in behalf of the dying
Iinal. A character and life which
ID command such a tribute from cler-
hen Of church whose doctrinal beliefs
so different from those of the Catholic
nrch must have been distinguished for
ir worth.

Pertinent TO the discussions in these
, columns eome months ago as to the Allan
thus, or Heaven tree "a it is called, we
-1esrn from the St Louis Central LdW Jour
nal that the Circuit Court of Cecil county,
Maryland, in the case OF Kerr VS.. Town Of
Elkton, decided that shade trees of this
variety might be removed by order of the
municipal authorities when complained of
as a nuisance. The evidence sdducs6
showed that the tree in question, during
the two weeks it was in bloom, in June
OF each year, emitted an odor so offensive
to many of those who resided in the neigh
borhood, that they were unable to occupy
their porches in the evening and morning,
or to keep open their windows in the front
of their houses, and that one lady who re-
sided on the opposite side of the street
was so affected by it that she wss sick
every year as long as the tree was in
bloom. The court, in delivering its opin-
ion on this state Of facts, said at
is certainly true that the own
es or occupiers of dwelling-houses,
whether in the city or country,
have the right to enjoy pure and whole
some air; that IL, as pure and wholesome
as their local situation can reasonably sup
ply; and any act which materially corrupts
or pollutes the air, done without authority
or justification, is strictly a nuisance.
There is no distinction between any of the
cases, whether it be smoke smell. vapors
or gas. The owner of one tenement can
not cause or permit to pass over or flow
into his neighbor's tenement any one OF
more of those things in such a way as
materially to interfere with the ordinary
comforts of the occupiers OF such neigh
boring tenement. and if he does, a court
of equity will, on proper application, re
strain hIm by writ of injunction, and i
will most certainly render him no aid il
an attempt TO resist the proper authorities
in their efforts TO remove or abste the
nuisance"

Republican, for Governor, at 10000, in
case the present ratio of gain should con-
tinue in the returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton. The Democratic Committee ex-
presses their belief that the plurality will
not exceed Is 900, if it reaches that figure.
Gov. Hoadly is inclined to the belief that
Foraker's plurality will not be more than
10000 or 49, 900 when the official returns
are received. Both committees are still
claiming msjority on joint ballot in
the Legislature. The Democratic Commit
tee claim it has carried the legislative
ticket in Hamilton county, and have re-
liable information that it will have a
majority on joint ballot, with fifty-six
members in the House sure and twenty
one in the Senate. The Republican
Committees latest estimate is that
they will have Ave majority on a
joint ballot outside of Hamilton coun-
ty, and in case they should carry
this, with half of the other doubtful coun-
ties and districts, the House would stand
IL Republicans to 80 Democrats, and the
Senate "a Republicans to 13 Democrats.

[R. HRRBERT GLADSTONE declared in a
int speech that home rule is to be sub
pted for castle rule in Ireland. This is
plainest declaration yet made OF the
pose of the English Liberals, and the
specific. But is it to be such home
as the Irish people demands it to
national Parliament, legislating for
needs and wants of the whole people
directing their welfare, or is it to
nerely in the form of county govern
ts-a sop to satisfy the neighborhood
ands for independent management of
r local affairs? This is the all-import-
question for the Irish people. What
want and what the English are will
to give are two different things. To
ncile these differences is a work
.hy of Mr.. Gladstone, and let us hope
be the crowning work of his life.
