What x-Representative.Rice calls the Buff
alo Bill performances of Governor Ireland, of
Texas. are explained in our Washington dis
patches on the theory that he is aiming at a seat
In the United States Senate. This explanation
may be plausible enough; but from any bat
Texan point of view it is not easy to see the re-
lation of cause and effect between Mr.. lreland's
groteSque acts and the object of his ambition,
although it may be perfectly clear 10 him.
The latest dispatches confirm the forecast
of our regular London correspondent, printed
on Sunday. that no action Oh the Irish question
will be taken until next year. The Queens
speech will be silent on this subject, but it is
expected that member of the Cabinet will in
tmale that a bill dealing with Irish local gov
eminent and the land question will be brought
ut f,t, no Of
the Irish members for details may lead to
long discussion but will not, it is believed, pre-
vent the prOroguing of Parliament on Sep

Secretary Bayard's pcrturbcd spirit could
not have been soothed to tranquil calm by the
news which he heard from his own State yes
tegday. His candidate for Governor was de-
feated in the State Convention by eleven votes.
The Salisbury crowd is now on top in its fight
with the Bayard crowd. The bitterness be-
tween these two factions is intensified this year
BY the fact that the Republicans arc to run no
candidate. Let this fight 90 on until the
breach in the Delaware Democracy is too wide
to be closed, and by-and-by the Republicans
may have a chance of winning an election in
this Bourbon stronghold
The fear expressed by some friends of Gray,
the defaulting Boston treasurer. that he has
ended his life, is probably groundless. Gray
has stolen half million dollars or more and
there is suspicion that he is forger as well a.
q defaulter but man of his habits and dis
position is not likely to commit suicide when
Canada is so easily accessible and the new
treaty WITH England has not been ratified. Bos-
ION is gaining an unenviable reputation by its
recent record of embellishments and similar
misdOings.
OF course, Mayor Grace has removed Com
missioner Squire ON the charges made by the
Commissioners Of Accounts-that is. so tar a.
he has the power of iemoval-and of course,
the Squire-Flyrn letter is the principal ground
Oh which the removal Is based. This result
was certain. The question now is, what will
Governor Hill do about it What he oughi
to do is perfectly plain. The evidence OF
SQuire's unftness for office is overwhelming
A prompt confirmation of the Mayors action is
Mr.. Hin's clear duty. But M. Hill is not
likely to act promptly unless he sees some
political end to be gained He is reported to
have said recently that he would take no ac-
ton until after Squire had been tried in court
for fear that he might prejudice the jurys
verdict. This however, is q matter with which
the Governor has nothing whatever TO do
His duty is to decide whether Squire is a proper
person to remain at the head of a great city
department. Whether Squire can be proved
guilty OF corrupt bargaining and conspiracy Is
