Mr.. STEAD, of the Pail Mall Gazette, gets
n sentence of three months In the Eliza
Armstrong case. However guitless he may
have been of intentional wrong-doing, his
punishment is light enough for the blunder
of which he was guilty. While the con-
seriousness Of upright purposes will sustain
him during his Incarceration, he will have
time to recall and ponder on the old pro-
verb relating to the material of which the
pavements of sheol are composed.

Tho Irish NntionnIIsfs.

Mr.. Parnell is pushing his campaign with
uneXampled success. The friends Of the
national movement continue to maintain
that unity which is a sure guarantee Of
strength and that confidence In their dis
tnguished leader which events have fully
justified.
There can be no outcome of the parlla-
mentary elections which will not find the
cause of the Irish people in better shape
than it was prior to the downfall of the
Gladstone ministry. Even II the liberals
should come In with a majority over all in
the commons, the Irish cause will have
made great progress, and will be in splendid
condition for further advances. ReYolu-
tions do not go backwards. Concessions

The national movement has gained such
strcuath that rs triumph at no distant day
is practically cssured.
1t is very far from certain, however, that
the PamcllitCs will not have the balance of
rower In the commons, and IL is a signiti-
cant fact that the liberal factions are SO
utterly docordant that the party cannot be
held together ON any definite line Of policy

THE REPUBLICAN is glad to give its
hearty Endorsement to the suggestion of the
Philadelphia Times that "every considera-
tion of interest and of patriotism calls for a
generous and practical recognition of the
New Orleans Exposition by the north, and
every northern citizen and family that can
spare the time and money should visit it
during the fall and winter" The railroad
companies and manufacturing corporations
should cooperate in providing facilities for
workingmen and their families to visit this
great industrial exhibition.

BALTIMORE is the only city In the Union
whose bank exchanges show a decrease as
compared with corresponding dates of last
year. As heretofore shown In our financial
columns the exchanges of New York city
increased 62.5 per cent. last week as com
pared with the corresponding week In 1884,
the total for the six days ending with last
Saturday having been S775, 5,4l5,OOO. While
it is evident that considerable part of this
is due to the activity Of the stock exchange,
yetgeneral business has improved as isshown
by an increase of 32s per cent. in the ex-
changes of Boston, of 2S,6 per cent. in
those Of Philadelphia, and of l4.4 in those of
st. Louis, while more than twenty other
cities east, west, and south report decided
increases

THE decree Of Judge Allen, of the su-
preme court of Massachusetts, granting
divorce to Mr. Taber, is equivalent to
declaration by the court that the Rev.
Downes and Mrs. Taber arc guilty Of the
charges preferred against them. 1t will be
remembered that Downes took the witness
stand and swore that he was innocent. The
court evidently thinks him perjurer as well
as an adulterer. Not content with "per-
juring himself like gentleman" (if we may

THE New York Stats Zeitung is unable
to gee anything like great triumph of the
Democratic party in the recent election in
that state. 1t says; "It is clearly an alb
surdity to construe, as the Democratic Or
gans are doing, such victory as meaning
popular manifestation in favor of the Dem
cratic party. What in all the world is
proved, as regards the future state Of things,
by the election Of Democratic governor
with scarcely 10000 plurality, while at the
same time 10000 votes are cast for third
and fourth candidate, and the Republicans
gain larger majority in both branches of
the legislature? How can New York be
claimed as Democratic state under such
circumstances ~ This conundrum is re-
spectfully referred to the blouatlng organs.
