turn Will be speedily followed by the return
of enough others to give Mr.. Gladstone a
majority on the second reading of the meas
ure.
The eagerness with which the seceders
have seized upon the modification proposed
as an excuse for returning to the Gladstone
fold indicates pretty clearly that they were
exceedingly sorry that they ever went away
from it. 1t tends to indicate also growing
belief that the measure is destined ultimate
ly to become law, if not with this Parlia-
ment, at least with the one to follow it. Pub
lie opinion in England on the subject of
home rule has undergone an astonishing
change within a short time. A few years
ago an English statesman who should have
preached such thing would have been
denounced as traitor, and even when
few months ago Mr.. Gladstone announced
that he was preparing bill looking to that
end all England stood aghast But discus
sion has produced a wonderful revolution In
public sentiment. The Tories Of course still
profess to believe that home rule will be fol-
lowed by disruption of the kingdom, but
they discuss the situation with much more
calmness than formerly, and. some of them
are even ready to confess that the Irish peo-
pie have some rights which the English are
bound to respect, and that they ought to
have the control of certain of their affairs.
But the sentiment has been Enthusiastically
growing among the masses of the people
that some other plan than coercion which
has been long tried and invariably proved a
failure must be adopted if the present I'M
bearable state of things is not to be contin-

The only real obstacle in the way of clos
ing the drug stores ON Sunday lies in the fact
that they deal in articles which are an abso-
Lutte necessity and the need of which cannot
be anticipated. If a man knew Saturday
night that he was going to be sick
the next day and what was going to be the
matter with him he might lay in a stock OF
appropriate drugs, just as he he row lays in
provisions for his Sunday dinner Then the
necessity for keeping open drug stores on
Sunday would disappear and public opln-
ion would compel them to close up if the law
did not. But man is not gifted with SUCH
prescience, and he is just as liable to be SICK
and need medicine on Sunday as on Monday.
1.-THE drug stores are closed up on Sunday how
is the need to be supplied? To be sure an
apotheeary could be hunted up, but this not
infrequently would involve loss of time that
might be productive of serious or even fatal
consequences. The problem to be solved is
how to close the drug stores on Sunday and
leave some way of obtaining medicine prompt
ly in case of an emergency. If this problem
can be solved satisfactorily there will proba-
bly, be no great difficulty in closing the drug

If Congress had needed President Cleveands
advice when in his message last December he
urged the appointment of a mixed commission to
settle "the entire question of the fishery rights Of
the two governments and their respective citi-
zens' on these coasts, the present difficulty would
have been ayerted.-Calais Times.
But how ayerted? Probably by opening
our markets to the Canadians for some such
illusory privilege as fishing along the Domin-
ion shores. The fishermen who have the
most at stake in this business, are unani-
nous against commission, unless they
can name the American member of it. If
they could do that probably they would make
no objection. But they feel a proper horror
of having their rights committed to the ten
der mercies of perhaps some weste1ner who
never saw cod fish, and who has no con-
ception of the magnitude of the fishing in
dustry.

Considerable testimony has been present
ed to the House and from very respectable
sources, that oleomargarine is not an UNI
wholesome or unpalatable article. That may
be true of some oleomargarine, but it is GER
tainly not true of the kind they used to pro-
duce at the establishment-in Brooklyn we
think it was-which the New York legislature
investigated. That was a horrible COM
pound, and nobody would ever buy it after
knowing what it was made of. A whole
some and palatable oleomargarine, if there
be such thing, we doubt if the government
has the constitutional power to suppress the
sale of, 80 long as it is sold for what it is But
it certainly has the power to prevent its sale

ored sky blue or pink, so that the consumer
could detect it at glance its sale would rap
idly decline. The business relies for its
success very largely on deceit.

FREE SHIPS.
N. Y. Sun.

Mr. Dunn's Free Ship bill cannot become
a law Whatever Congress can do by legis-
lation to relieve depression in the American
industries of shipbuilding, shipowning and
ship brokerage, all included in the general
term of shipping, ought to be done; but the
three interests must not be confused, nor
must one of the three interests be doomed
to death in any vain hope of benefting the
other two. That is what the Free Ship bill
proposes to do. Under present conditions it
means the sacrifice of the American ship
building industry in futile attemt to win
for the United States larger share of the
ocean commerce of the world-a business
that is already overstocked with ships, and
conducted at a constant loss by the nations
most extensively engaged in the traffic. We
cannot build ships quite so cheaply as
they are built abroad; therefore it is pro-
posed to shut up our own shipyards, and
buy vessels from countries that will be
only too glad to sell them, because the
worlds carrying trade has been pushed by
competition andl overproduetion to a point
where it is no longer profitable. In other
words, we surrender what we have in order
to get what is not worth having.

The Philadelphia News is cruel enough to
insinuate that Mr.. Samuel J. Randall's at
tempt to nullify the civil service law is not
so distastefuI to the President as is generally
supposed. 1t says that no two men in
the country stand nearer Mr.. Cleveland
than Mr.. Randall and Mr.. William L. Scott,
and no two men have his ear oftener. The
News has suspicion that the President has
determined to dump the Mugwumps, and
that this is the first step in the programme.
If the News is right the President has made
his first step rather too long.

1t was a foregone conclusion that the Re-

ton to the District convention unanimously
in favor of the denomination of Congress-
man Reed, so that the interest at the eau

of delegates to the State convention. The
result shows that the sentiment of Portland

The question often asked-how does Murdoek's

Murdock's Liquid Food contains 1410 per cent.
of albumen all the other foods do not contain
any. Common food does not contain over one per
cent. that is available.
1t contains less organic matter than common
food, and common food contains 1885; the Otner

1t contains 0.42 of ash, which IS lndlgeSuple

HEIR KIND OF FREE TRADE.

NOItu AlHellcdll.
The House Committee ON Ways and Means
has reported by vote of twelve to one
against providing for the execution of the
Mexican Reciprocity Treaty, and the chances
are that no more will be heard of it. We can
not say that we are much disposed to regret
the circumstance, for, to our thinking the
Mexicans had the best of the bargain; but
we do not quite understand the conduct of
the free-trade members of the committe.
With the single exception of Mr.. Hewitt
they were against the pending measure. Mr..
Morrison, the horizontal tariff reformer, OPP
posed it. So did Mr. Mills, the Texan free
trader from way back; so did Messrs. Nc
Mullin, Maybury and Breckenridge, all tar
iff reformers for revenue only. These gem
tlemen are fond of talking free trade, and
they have a righteous horror Of duties on
wool and fish, and chemicals and other north
ern products, but they don't want reciprocity
with Mexico, which is step in the, free
trade direction. And why don't they? Be-
cause their constituents are interested in
sugar and tobacco, and they want their con-
stituents protected. Mr.. Morrison and his
friends are great believers in free trade-for
