IRELAND's INDEtENDENCE.
Strong Opposition TO Ir.
Home Rule Scheme.

LONDON, April 12.-The editorial article
in this mornings Daily News OH Mr.. Glad
stones scheme has served to increase the
uneaSneSs of the Liberals. Mr.. Michael
Davitt declares that if Mr.. Gladstone's land
purchase bill does not nationaliZe the land
III ireland he will stump the country against
it, and says he is confident he would sue
coed. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says
the election of the home-rule measure
would result in an acute commercial crisis
and would provoke the unemployed of
Dublin to commit excuses similar to those
perpetrated during the recent .iOtS in Lon
don. The Conservatives of Manchester
have invited the Liberals to cooperate with
them in organizing a great public meeting
against Mr.. Gladstone's home-rule
scheme. The home rule issue is being
made the sole ground of contest
in the election in Ipswich to follow the va
cances caused by the unseating of Messrs,
Jose Ceilings aud II. NJ. West for fraudu-
lent electloneering practices. The district
is very close, neither of the successful cam
didates at the last election obtaining 100
majority. The Conservative candidates at
present are MeSsrS. Dalrymple and ElchOr
and the Tory placards contain the following
appeal:
Will you vote for Dalrymple and Elcho and
the support of her majesty the queen, or for
Gladstone, Paruell, home rule and the ruin
of England and the empire?
The Pail Mall Gazette says that in view
of the action of the Conservatives in decid-
ing to allow the first reading of the home
rule bill so as to enable Mr.. Gladstone to
introduce his Irish land purchase measure,
and thus strengthen the Tory campaign in
the event of a general election, it would be
wise for Mr.. Gladstone to ride
for a fall" 1t advises him to force
division on his request for leave to intro
duce his home bill during to-night's debate,
in order to avoid the introduction of the
land purchase bill and the consequent add-
ton to his opposition. The thing had bet
ter be faced and settled at once, argues the
Pail Mall Gazette, rather than have the
land purchase bill hanging around the necks
of his adherents for several weeks, only to
be finally settled in perhaps less advan-
tageous manner than is possible now. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Gladstone has become
alarmed over the hostile criticism evinced
by his Irish proposals and that he will fol-
low Lord Randolph Churchill in to-night'S
debate. Mr. Gladstone spent two hours
this afternoon in private conference with
Mr.. John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land, and Earl Spencer. ex-Irish viceroy.
1t is reported that the premier has decided
to subject his home rule scheme to several
important notifications.

A CRY FROM IRELAND.

In the intense interest with which the
proceedings in the house of commons are
now being watched by the friends of
Ireland all over the world, her exclusive
and present necessities should not be for
gotten by the charitably disposed. Dis
trict after district has suffered to the
verge of starvation, refraining from an
appeal to the world for aid in the vain hope
that the tide would turn, and they would
be able to help themselves. That hope has
proven delusion. The distress in different
parts of Ireland has increased rather than
diminished. The English government has
either turned an Indifferent ear to the
appeals for aid, or has responded to them
assistance. Among the many coun-
ties in which poverty bordering upon
absolute restitution exists the County Mayo
is prominent. Long have the poor people
of this district struggled against their in
evitable fate and suffered in silence. They
have even endured seeing men brought in
to labor on the government works eStab-
Iished in their county, supposedly for their
own aid and. themselves bOycotted. With
Characteristic pride they preferred to die
rather than beg. But Father Hewson, the
tireleSs priest in charge of Belmullet par
Sit, unable longer to witness the sufferings
OF his people, has appealed to the world and
particularly to Irisb-Americans for the help
which is so sadly needed. Irish and
American generosity has not been unre-
sDOnsve to similar appeals in the past; i t
doubtless will not be needless now.

a call has been issued for a mass meet
Ing to be held at the Grand opera house to-
morrow evening for the purpose of giving
expression to the feeling of the citizens of
st. Paul in regard TO the policy outlined by
Mr. GLADSTONE for the government of the
Irish people. The object of the meeting is
one that deserves commentator and will
doubtless elicit a hearty response from our
citizens. There is hardly division of SEN
timent among Americans in respect to this
matter. There is universal feeling that
il this country that the policy outlined by
Mr. GLADSTONE is the wisest stroke OF
British craftsmanship that has been exhibited
for many a long year. In addition to this
there is sympathetic feeling for Ireland
in this the great crisis of its national history
which ought to find expression. If our
words of sympathy are ever to do any good
for the Irish cause now is the time to eX-
press them. They will have a moral
weight at this juncture which they may not
have at a less propitious time. Let our
people get together and express their opin-
ion in language that cannot be mistaken.

GLOBE gives sensible advice to young men
when it urges them to keep away from
Washington and to shun the government
service. The Post is on the ground and

eminent service and knows whereof it
speaks. 1t knows that less tempting field
for the qualification of worthy ambition
in young manhood does not exist than in
the position of government clerk. We

SALEM. ILL.,, April 10. - Henry j.
Blessing. acquitted on Friday last by ST.
Louis jury of the charge of murder for the
killing of his brother-in-law, w. w. Thill-
man, in September, 1888, came d.
rectly to Salem, the home of his
youth, and is now visiting his mother,
sister. and friends tire. His sister,
Mrs. Fairfowl, faithful to her only living
brother, and believing in his innocence,
spent large sums OF money in his defense,
and was at his side throughout the trial.
He was about the streets of Salem Satur-
day shaking hands with the friends of his
boyhOOd, and appearing very happy TO have
his liberty. In escaping from this trial and
the tragedy that occasioned it, with his life,
Henry is an exception to all the others OF
his family. Perhaps there is not so remark
able family anywhere on the globe, and
THE FATALITY
that has followed them made his friends
here doubt the truth OF the report when it
was first said that he was acquitted. The
Blessing family originally consisted Of
father, mother, four SONS and four daugh-
tiers, living on a farm near Salem.
The father fell dead in his field at the
Blessing homestead in 1858. The mother
went totally blind many years ago, and lives
now with her daughter, Mrs. Fairfowl.
The eldest son committed suicide at hotel
in st. Louis in 1885, after shooting and kill
ing his sister, beautiful girl whose incli-
nations to tlirt stirred her brothers blood
beyond control. Ira, the next son, was
killed in an elevator in st. Louis in 1880.
Charley, the youngest son, was killed some
years ago
IN A COLLISION
on the Missouri Pacific railroad, on which
he was engineer. Henry. after shooting
his brother-in-law, recovered from wounds
that all the physicians pronounced fatal
and has just now been freed by the law
from any crime in the premises. One of
Mrs. FairfOwPs sons, Hector, highly
respected citizen of Salem, was by an
accident in his childhood made blind
for life. A beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of Mrs. Straul,

night. while the guests were waiting,
stepped into bedroom at the farmhouse
to put the finishing touches on her toilet

pistol shot was heard, and she was found
with a bullet through her brain. Her
intended. who came from st. Louis. had
beautiful revolver, and it is said that while
admiring it, it was accidentally discharged,
killing her instantly.

A PULL ON THE TREASURY.

MI TowNsHEND of Illinois is a congress
man who wants to make record, and he
is doing it. Somewhat in the spirit of the
late lamented ARTEMUs WARD, he is not
only willing to pension the soldiers. but he
is anxious to place all their relations on the
pension list also. The bill introduced by
him yesterday in congress providing that
pensions be granted to the fathers and
mothers Of deceased soldiers may help Mr..
TowNsHEND along in his congressional dis
trict, yet it is not apt to strike the country
with peculiar favor. The pension roll is
about as heavy now as an overburthened.
tax-paying nation cares to carry. But like
the advocates Of the BLAIR educational
bill. Mr.. TowNsHEND is in favor of any sort
of an appropriation of the public money
which will make votes for himself.

A BIOodless Shooting ARRAY All ON
Account Of kOuiSal.

A bloodless shooting affray occurred in
the Jumbo restaurant last night. Henry
Muth and Fred BuermeiSter were the prin-
cipalS. They got into wrangle
over pretty girl who lives on
Marshall street, on the East side. They
were friends and had about completed ar
rangements for going to Milwaukee to-
gether, and had gone so far as to purchase
their tickets. On their way to the depot
they stepped into the restaurant to get sup
per. During the repast one brought up
the name of Louisa, his sweetheart,
The other flew into frenzied fit of jeal-
ousy at once and an alteration ensued,
eliminating in Muth's whipping out re-
volyer and sending leaden messenger after
BuermeiSter, but fortunately for the latter
the shot missed the mark. Officer Krum-
weide happened to be standing in front,
and hearing the shot rushed in and made
the would-be assassin prisoner, lodging
him in the First precinct station. The pro-
posed trip to Milwaukee was foregone and

Secretary LANIAR's revocation OF General
SPARKS famous land order hasn't had the
effect OF diminishing the land commission
er'S bump of self-eSteem. In fact he gathers
himself up after the knock-down with all
the hilarity of the young maid from school
who regarded life as a joke just begun. AS
will be seen by the GLOBES Washington
special this morning Commissioner SPARKS
seems to be struck on himself and he
has an idea that the president is equally
enamored. Although his information
is not entirely authentic Mr.. SPARKS is
satisfied in his own mind that the president
thinks that he is little bit the biggest man
that ever held a government commission.
Whatever the president may think about
him it is apparent that Mr.. SPARKS him.
self holds to the opinion that he hangs
peg higher than any other man in the gov
eminent service. SPARKS and the presi-
dent may both be right about it, but the
country at large would be better satisfied
II Mr.. SPARKS would add the grace of
modesty to his many distinguished qualities
of greatness. There is no law to prevent q
man from blowing his own horn, but it is
infinitely more 10 his credit if he can find
somebody to blow it for him.

Great Strides Being Made Towards
Aboiishiug of secret Sessions.

AbOiishtng Oh secret Sessions.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the senate
to-day Mr.. Riddleberger moved to take up
consideration of executive nominations
in open session. He refused request to
permit the Indian appropriation bill to be
taken up, and he insisted on the yeas and
nays, which resulted in the defeat of the
motion, yeas Z. nays 81. This vote is not
In any sense test OF the strength of the
open-sessiOn movement, inasmuch as many
of Its strongest advocates, including SEN
ators Platt, Teller, Gibson and Mitchell
voted In the negative.
During the absence of Senator Jones Of
Florida Senator Gibson was appointed to
the membership of the committee on COM
merce. Mr.. Plat obtained permission to
address the senate after morning business
tomorrow in support of his resolution relat-
ing TO open executive sessions. The senate
then went into executive session and the
nomination OF Senator jackson to be
United States circuit Judge, vice Judge
Baxter, was unanimously confirmed.
When the doors were reopened the Indian
appropriation bill was considered and
passed substantially as reported from the
senate, the only change of note being the
increase of the appropriation for Indian
schools in Alaska from SIS. 900 to $50. 900.
