Gladstone Defeated.

There is now no longer any doubt
that the Liberal party in Great Britain
has been defeated and that Mr.. Glad
stones Home Rule project has been
rejected by the voters.
We are by no means surprised and
are little chagrined at the result.
During the past several months we
have suffered the humiliating spectacle
of American newspapers begging for
money to send across the Atlantic
wherewith to influence this same cleo
ton and we do not believe in the hon
esty of purpose on the part of one per
cent of those thus interested.
The maudlin sympathy with with
ireland has for its touchstonc q selfish
desire to influence Irish Americans
here, either in the matter of party pol
,tjcs or IN more individual and selfish
considerations.
The Blaine Cleveland campaign gave
the Democratic party grounds for fear
and the Republican party grounds for
hope that the Irish vote might Be d.
vidcd and politicians in this country
have simply seized upon Home Rule
as q hobby to ride il their own inter
ests.
We're the Irish now conceded to the
Democrats as certainlv and as solldIy
as they were ten years ago, they would
only be CHOSE internal fore IN Irish
democrat" when spoken of by Repnh-
lean. and when considered at all by
Democrats, it would only be as 50 many
dead sure votes.
This is the secret Of the impudent
interference Of Americans with the re-
cent English elections and what Amer
leans would thirk of it were the con-
,litlCns reversed and English money
sent to influence our elections, We have
only to refer our readers to the utter
ances of the press and speakers during
our last presidential election when 1t
was rumored, falsely as We believe,
that English money was being sent
over here in the int. est Of Cleveland.
Mr.. Gladstone has been fairly beat =
en-, in spite and We al ready to believe
partly Oh account of American money;
a much more practical statesman, Lord
Salisbury, will be at the head Of the
British goyernmentand Ireland viii be
free when her people buy the land and
pay for 1t.

WASHINGTON Letter.
From Our REGULAR CoRREsroNDENT.)
Washington, July IL, 1886.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Washington, July IL, 1886.
1t looks now us if Congress will not
finish work and GO home before Aug
ust. At least the contest over the We
toed pension bills and the situation of
the Appropriation bills in the Senate
have caused our lawmakers in both
ends of the Capitol to settle down to
the idea of such fate. The prospect
of sitting three weeks yet, and possibly
longer, has a rather depressing effect
upon most of them. The obvious i'm.
propriety of resorting to their shirt
sleeves or Of taking off their collars
and cuffs when they find it necessary
to make q speech, makes a long sum-
mcr session very trying to many who
are in the habit Of taking their case in
their own way when at home.
