Mr.. Gladstone about six months ago.
WAS defeated on test question in the
House of Commons on Tuesday of last
week, and on Thursday waited on the
Queen at Osborne, and handed her the
designations OF himself and those of
his Cabinet Ministers. A messenger
from the Queen visited Mr.. Gladstone
In London on Saturday, and that gen
tlemsn proceeded TO Osborne, kissed the
Queens hand, and accepted her invita-
tion to form a new Miuisty. Both
houses OF Parliament met on Monday
and adjourned until yesterday. pending
the formation Of a new Cabinet. Mr..
Gladstone is now confronted with the
most trying aud difficult duty that has
ever deVolved upon him during his long,
sventful and distinguished public career.
His best friends hope that he may prove
equal to the great occasion. One thing
is certain, and that is that he will make
giant effort to do so. Ireland aud her
friends throughout the civilized world

THE decision recently rendered at
Topeka, Kansas, by Judge Brewer, of
| the Circuit Court of the United States,
in relation to the liabilities incurred by
State in enacting a prohibition law,
has attracted wide attention, from the
fact that it makes the State liable for
property rendered useless by a law pro-
hibiting the manufacture of beer, whis-
ky, wine, etc. About 1873 John Wal
ruf built a brewery at Lawrence, Kan
sas, which, with its machinery and fix
lures for making beer, Is worth $50 600.
and for any other purpose $1,000. At
the time of the erection of the brewery
and up to 1880, the making of beer was
as legal and free from restriction in
that State as the manufacture of -four.
In 1880 the Constitutional amendment
was adopted prohibiting .he manufac-
ture of beer, except for medicinal, sci
entific and mechanical purposes. The
laws passed in 1881 and 1885 to carry
the amendment INTO effect made
a permit essential to the manufacture Of
beer for the excepted purposes. On ap-
plying fol such permit Walruf was re.
fused it and an injunction was issued re-

under a Constitutional guarantee Of
protection to property. On the other
hand any one who expended his money
in preparing for the manufacture of the
prohibited articles in Kansas after the
adoption Of the prohibitOTy amendment
would do so az his peril, but the effect
Of that amendment upon all malt indus

at least, to cOnhscate them. The con.

Like an Irish Landlord.

CHICAGO. Jan. 25.-The Tribune de.
votes four columns to-day TO the career
OF VIM. Scully, at present a resident of
LoudOn, England, who, it is claimed
owns large tracts of American land. and
testimony is offered to show that he has
introduced the Irish landlord system
in the management of his American
properties. The paper in its resume of
the allegation, says ''Scury is of
Celtic birh, but now lives in London.
He is one OF the chief figures among the
alien proprietOrs of American soil. and
has introduced the meanest features of
the worst forms Of Irish landlordIsm on
bis estates in this country. 1t will star
tie the public to learn that he has ac.
quired in the neighborhood of &c. 600
acres in Illinois alone, at merely NOM
inal pTice-50 cents to one dollar Der
acre, as a rule. His career as an Irish
landlord was a history of oppression and
eXtortion that was appropriately finished
by bloody encounter with his tenants.
He was tried and acquitted on the
charge OF double murder, but became so
unpopular that IN 1880 be sold most of
his Irish property, and has since devoted
himself to building up a landlord system
IN Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and other
States. He made entries of the public
domain through the medium of land

to pay Scully's agents the tax money at
the same time as the reDtals-the first

agent need not turn the money over to
the County Treasurer until about June
10Th following. It is suggested that
Scully probably makes a handsome per
cent. on the tax money remaining in
his hands for five months. It is also
shown that great deal of this alien s

THE demagogues Of both parties IN

THE demagogues of both parties In
Congress are running a hot race to get
first on the record as favoring the pas
sage Of a bill to repeat the limitation
clause to the Arrearsges of Pension act.
The Commissioner of Pensions has
stated in communication to the Pen
sion Committee that if such bill pass
es it would take three hundred millions
of dollars out of the treasury. This has
had the effect of causing doubt and hes
itatiOn on the part of the Committee
having charge of the bill ir reporting it
favorahly to the House, but it is still
said to be uncertain whether a majority
of the Committee can be induced to kill
the bill by voting TO report it with
negative recommendation. THE truth
is" said a member the other day to
newspaper correspondent, "that while
we believe the repeal proposition is
wrong, and that its effect will be 20

ruptcy, we must vote for it or suffer po-
litieal cruciixion. We are all towards. -
Conscience is said to make towards of
of men, but in this instance the change
is brought about simply by a craven
fear that unless a member votes for the
widest pension schemes-schemes that
his own judgment and sense of justice
condemn, he will run the risk of array
ing against himself the soldiers vote
when he wants \ reelection. This is
an insult to every true soldier who
wants nothing that is not right, and
who especially don't want to bankrupt

been more liberal toward its soldiers,
their widows and their children, than
any other country in The civilized
world. y coward, or a man who is
afraid to act cut bis convictions of right
