Irish Affairs.
The London Economist" says: The
Tories and Liberals have drawn nearer
together and have resolved to reject the
crude proposal of an independent Irish
Parliament. The British Parliament is
still master OF itself. Mr.. Parnell has !
undertaken hopeless and impossible
task in attempting to make eighty-five |
members dictate to 554 members.
A circular was recently sent to all the
Liberal members of the new Parliament
asking them to state their opinions on
the Irish Home Rule question. In their
replies most of them avoid explicit state
ments, but the majority who express a
definite opinion are opposed to giving to
an Irish Parliament control of tariffs and
! of police, and are in favor of combining the
! legislative powers of such an establish
ment to matters of local government, the
same as in Great Britain. A number of
members insist that the unity of the en-
! pire must overtop all efforts to conciliate
the Irish tenantry. The replies show
that it is hopeless to expect from the
Liberals any concession acceptable to the
Parnellites.
Gladstone and his colleagues in the
Late Cabinet continue to exchange views
on the Irish question. They take no
pains to conceal the fact of the existence
OF grave difficulties in the way of an
! agreement.
The fierce manifesto of the Ulster
Orangemen is received with ridicule by
the Parnellites in London. They assert
that it represents the views only OF a
minority of one of the four provinces of
Ireland, and that as small as that minor
ity is now, it is daily becoming smaller
by the constant and gratifying adhesions
of Protestants TO the national cause.
The members of the Scotch crofter
party are alarmed over the hostility dis
PLAYED in many quarters to the PROPOSE
ton of home rule for Ireland. They ex-
pected that the proposition would be
regarded as just, timely and necessary,
and that it would be adopted without
any formidable opposition. Then they
believed that, as a logical sequence to
Irish home rule, its benefits would be

meeting of the party was held, at which
it was decided hereafter to act with the
Liberals, relying upon Gladstone's known
approval of agrarian reforms. The High
lands party, led by DIR. G. B. Clark,
member-elect for Caithness, advises the
crofters for the present to pay their rents
in every case where they are able to do
so.
The Sharon Marriage contract a
Forgery.
The United States Circuit Court, in d
long decision, written by Judge Deadly o.
Oregon and concurred in by Judge
Sawyer in another long opinion, decided
that the celebrated so-called marriage
] contract upon which Sarah Altaea Hill
$ or Sharon, relied as the main evidence
e of her alleged marriage with the late
< William Sharon, was a forgery, and tina
s the plaintiff in the case of Sharon agains
S Hill is entitled to judgment requiring
i the defendant to deliver up the pre-
u tended contract to be cancelled, and re
/ strainjng her from introducing or USING
S it in any Court as evidence of her alleger
marriage What the ultimate legffect
of the decision may be it iapnsossible to
s predict, as it dependhfpon many con-
r tingencies, somG which may never
e arise, and .e results of which, if they
e She afise, can only be determined by
the Courts in which the questions may
be presented. So far as the United
States Circuit Court is concerned, the
death of Mr.. Sharon has no effect In
that Court the theory adopted is that
case is decided at the moment the evil
dence is all in, the arguments closed and
the case submitted for decision; and al
though the necessity for carrying out
that theory seldom arises, yet where the
death of a party or any other intervening
circumstance would cause the filing of a
decision at a later date, to defeat its OBJ
iect, the decision is filed nunc pro tune
as of the date when the case was sub
mitted.
