RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION
DOOMED.

Though the CUILON interstate com
merce bill did not pass the Senate exactly
as amended by Senator CAMDEN, yet the
slight change made is more a change IN
words than in meaning. Ii seems to have
been a change without distinction. In.
stead of Mr.. CANDESs amendment whose
aim was to set aside the words from the
came original point of departure" Mr.. Ed
NuxDs amendment restored these words
and added the words ito the same point Of
arrival"
This bill as amended and passed by g
vote of II 10 in the Senate will in all
probability pass the House by good ma,
iority. 1t will then be in order for the ap
pointment Of the commission Of FIVE to
carry out its provisions and see that THE
unjust discrimination is brought to an
end.
The people Of West Virginia und neigh
boring States have cause for satisfaction at
this grand step forward. The change Of
eleven votes for the measure that Senator
CAMDEN proposed two years ago 10 26 and
finally u Al on the present bill, shows how
sentiment is drifting. If the present bill
should, when adopted, in any way prove in
adequate, public sentiment will soon de
mand another step forward. The people
have rights as we'll as the railroads have
Each must be respected.

have iust had with the dynamiters will give
not only the Chicago police, but the police
of every large city in the country hints
ubout how such men have to be
fought. Such knowledge about en-
tirely new modes of warfare
will be of vast Importance and may pre-
vent great destruction Of life and property
in the future. New York City has asked
for 1000 more wen armed police, and
other cities are expected to follow suit IN
increasing the efficiency Of this safeguard
The other question that this disaster has
brought up is that Of placing some restric-
tons upon immigration. While the old
Alien and Sedition laws may not be re-
vived it is likely that public sentiment will
in the not distant future cause our national
Congress to pass laws for keeping such
dangerous and worthless classes from oui
shores and for the more effective reprehen
sion and punishment Of those already in
the country. The discussions in Congress
indicate this.
So after all, good may come out ofthe
great evil that has been done.

THE FATE OF IRISH HOME RULE.

THE FATE OF IRISH HOME RULE
The latest news from London SHOWS that
the opposition to Mr.. GLADsroNEs home
rule bill is daily increasing. l: is estimated
that the opposing Radicals will have a
majority OF at least forty in the House OF
Commons Ever the papers that have
been friendly to the Irish cause seem tn be
losing hope in the success Of Mr. GLAD
STONES bill
The great difficulty now in the way is
he province of Ulster. The people of this
portion of Ireland are nearly all OF the
Protestant faith and are loyslists, while Q
great majority Of the people Of the other
provinces are Catholics and followers of
PARxELL. The people Of Ulster are bitter
ly opposed to entrusting their destiny to On
Iush Parliament set up at Dublin, and
some of the most impstuous among them
are declaring their intention to fight to the
las. rather than submit. Some of their
papers are saying: They will not allow
him to weaken the Crown and thrust an
imperial province out Of the Empire. Ley.
al to the Queen and every member OF the
reigninR family, the manly men Of the
north will never submit to an Irish Parlia-
ment They have solemnly proclaimed
their resolution and they will abide by 1t,
come what may" A monster petition
bearing the names of 10000 Ulster women
has Just been presented TO the Queen,
PRAYING her to withhold her signature from
any bill giving home rule to Ireland.
Upon this point Of difference, neither
party is inclined to make any concessions.
MICHAEL DAvITr says Nationalist will
wage war to the death against any bill
which does not subject Ulster to the rule
of statutory Parliament at Dublin" Mr.
| CHGNsERLAIN says: II sm convinced, after
careful inquiry, that the Loyalists OF the
North of Ireland will not quietly submit
themselves to the control Of q Dublin Par
| lament which they believe with much rea'
son, would be hostile to their religious and
material interests" Thus we have State
oOstinstely divided against itself and each
faction having its supporters throughout
the Uunited Kingdom. Home rule would
have done well to pass the House of Com
mons by bare msjority, had there been
unanimity IN Ireland; but with this unex
pscted discussion, what can be expected
at PRESENT.
But the bill is bound to triumph BY and
BY. The story Of oppression and injustice
to the sons of Erin cannot die, and it viii
never let the statesmen Of the Queen
realm rest till the wrongs have been re-
dressed. Mr.. GLADSTONE may only live to
get glimpse OF this grand object of his
ambition, but it will come as reality
nevertheless.

The pleasant suushiny days have not
alone been clothing nature in coat Of
green and bringing the flowers Of spring
aEd summer, but they have been bringing
death and destruction 10 some OF the finest
parts Of our land. Kansas City, Chicago,
and many towns and cities and country
districts throughout Missouri and Illinois
had Just passed through terrible expert
ence with the Storm Fiend, and many lives
and thousands of dollars worth of property
were swept away in q moment. Later,
Pennsylvania is invaded by the monster
and misfortune is left in his path. Still
later eur neighboring State of Ohio falls
victim to bis rsVsges and many lives are
inundated upon bis altar and destruction
and suffering left on every hand.

the past week have been peculiarly favor
able to the evolution Of cyclones and lorna
does. The changes have been 80 sudden
that the sisnsl service has been unable to
keep track of the many cyclones that have
been preparing for their carnival of death,
and they have sWOOPed down upon the de-

Spain yesterday suffered even 8 worse
misfortune from the Storm Fiend than any
