GLADSTONES IRISH POLICY.

The zenith of Premier Gladstone's
greatness and grandness was reached
last Thursday when he stood in West
minister hall before the largest, most
varied, and most enthusiastic audience
ever assembled i'm that historic place, to
announce his forthcoming Irish policy.
No statesman was ever accorded such
an ovation as was on that occasion.
He was not to appear before parliament
until $50 p. m, but early i'm the morn
ing members of the house of Lords and
of the commons began to assemble in
order to secure favorable seat. Hours
before the Premier left his mansion, the
street along the route he was to go was
thronged with thousands of people of
all classes and nationalities eager TO see
the greatest Englishman of them ali.
He was three hours and thirty MN
utes delivering his speech. and was
missed and applauded alternately as the
sentiments expressed were agreeable to
his opponents or friends. His Irish
variety of provisions, and the measure
is one of the most comprehensive and
far-reaching ever laid before the En-
glish legislature. 1t is the elimination
of fifty years study of the relations be-
tween England and Ireland, by the
"grand old man." and is remarkable for
one thing,i. e that it is the first and only
well digested and orderly arrangement
of the Irish issues, requiring parliament
airy adjustment. 1t is the first dOcu-
ment ever laid before parliament which
has given the Irish question definite
ness, and making it Imperative upon
the English legislature to act. Glad
stones bill compels this, and they can
not shirk the responsibility longer. 1t
is i'm one sense, the outcome of Parnell's
gigantic efforts i'm behalf of his mother
country, and the sight of Engand's
greatest statesman laying this we'll de-
vised scheme for the regulation of Ire
lands grievances before the power that
had for years Stunned the issue, know
ing 1t to be the outcome of his (Parnell's)
personal efforts, must have given that
adhesive leader thrill of satisfaction
not often experienced by humans.
There are a very few leading provisions
which naturally carry with them host
of minor ones. OF course the establish
ing of an Irish parliament is the mann
feature. 1t provides for home parlia-
ment, on condition of all the Irish mem
bers now in the English parliament re-
firing from that body and being trans
ferred to the new body at Dublin. A
portion of the Irish parliament will be
elective and the remainder inheritiye.
Ireland will be expected to pay one
fifteenth of the imperial taxation, but
her parliament shall have jurisdiction
over local taxation, and also over the
judiciary. The fate of the bill is yet
doubtful, and depends upon the action
of few English members who are liza
BILE to oppose any measure granting
home rule to Ireland, no matter how
reasonable and just it be.

MR. WAKEFIHLDNoT A CANDIDATE

After mature deliheration and renec-
ton, Mr.. Wakefield has decided that he
will not he candidate for re-nOmlna-
ton TO congress from the Second dis
trict. 1t is needless To say that his de-
termination has been reached without
any question of the probability or posi-
biiity of his success or failure i'm cOnvcn-
ton or at the polls, for the many words
of encouragement and urgent appeals
made to him to again allow his name to
he presented, for congress, isa sufficient
guarantee of tho desires of the people
of the district.
Mr.. Wakefeld's health, and that
alone, has moved him to this decision
He no doubt feels that 1T is better for
him, on this account, TO lay aside poll
tics and devote what il left of him tu
life to some employment that will be
more conducive 10 comfort. That Mr..
| Wakefield has represented his constitu-
ency well and satisfactorily during his
terms i'm congress goes without saying,
and he need have nothing to regret in
his actions nor any apologies to make
for the Second district has been hon
ored by his career. The fact that he
cheerfully, and upon his own good Off
ces, gives way to some younger man who
has more surplus vitality for the work
devolving upon one who assumes the
responsibilities of Congressman, while
disappointing TO his friends, is never
theless most commendable. Probably
no man who represented his people i'm

warm friendship and less personal ami

!Slcepy Eye Hydid:-lt is not without
some degree of admiration foI the sub
limity of cheek that We see Pat open his

Shich he now presumes Ia curse Others

Han Mr.. Gladstone appeared before
an American audience with a speech
three and onc-half hours long, he would
have experienced difficulty in retaining
hearers Ia the end. 4 forty minute dis
course is sufficiently long To appease the
appetite of the titful American, and any
thing more is a positive bore.

A GREETING TO THE COW.
(By The Free PRESS Spring Poet }


All honor to the gentle COW,
Sne needs no look of PITY,
For by the vote that's taken now,
She has the freedom of the city.
And as the young, green grass comes up,
She helps hcl self well knowing
She quick can tear the fences down
And have the best that's growing.
And the man who has II lovely lawn
With trees and shrubcry set,
Retiring at night with rear ana fright,
Feeling the COW will get them yet.
And when some morn he does descend,
With springs new plans well laid,
He sees at once his fears arc met
by the wreck tho cow has made.
The fence IL down, the trees bcreft.
or every leaf and twig,
And ull his choicest garden truck
This season he'll not dig
And when The shades of twilight fall,
He sits aud pOiders long
Upon the "thingncss of the this
And gives his Thoughts In song.
And here's the burden Of his lay
And his voice sounds sadly now,
As borne upon the evening air,
He sings about the cow.
Don't harm the cow, the meek eyed cow,
Whose pasture Is the street,
She's filled our hearts with grief anu woe,
But still her work IL not complete.
