The Bnfsiio Echo correctly voices the
general sentiment Of the people, so far as
has manifested itself concerning the gov
ernorship though there ought to be no
grounds for the sectional apprehension
Of which it speaks
The rumor that President Cleveland has
decided upon the appointment of an Iowa
man for the go%vernorship Of Wyoming,
has its source at Laramie City, and is not
Ileasing to the residents of any portion of
the territory. The first desire OF the
people is to have a resident governor,
without particular regard to the locality
he may hail from. This assured, tits but
natural that each portion should have its
f~avorite candidate. The selection of an
outsider will have a tendency toward al
laying sectional apprehension, however.
But we don'ttbink Cleveland will be doing
the right thing by Wyoming in ignoring
its residents in this case.

The Laramie B~oonerong's statement
that an Iowa man had been selected for
governor Of Wyoming having been pro-
nounced by a contemporary to be sensa-

fifteenth of the imperial burdens. He
closed his speech with glowing tribute
to the patriotism of the Irish race.
Whatever fault may be found with the
provisions of the bill, and cOnceding that
it is not perfect and cannot be passed. it
nevertheless marks an era in the rela-
tions of England and Ireland. Hereto
fore the connection between these coun-
tries has been, so far as Ireland was con-
cerned, compulsory and unequal. Mr..
Bright. in one of his finest speeches,
made at the outbreak of the Fenian move
ment in 1866, correctly stated the situa-
ton then and ever since when he said :
"lf the majority of the people of Ireland,
fairly counted out, had their will and had
the power, they would unmoor the island
from its fastenings in the deep, and move
it at least two thousand miles to the
west" The idea of the proposed legiSla-
ton is to bring the two peoples together
as in some sort equal members of great
nation. and not, like the legislation that
has preceded it, to drive them farther
and farther apart.

GLADSTONE AND IRELAND,

Thursday of last week was great dav
for Gladstone and for Ireland Never
before was such an audience gathered in
the House of Commons. and never in his
parliamentary career of more than fifty
years did the greatest of living English
men speak so eloquently and so effective
lY. The demand for seats in the house
caused many members to choose theirs
at daybreak; and when Gladstone alriv-
ed. at 20 o'clock in the afternoon. every
inch of space within the building was oc-
cupied, and thousands could not get in at
all. Gladstone'S reception was enthuSi-
astic in the extreme, the Irish members
leading in the applause which greeted
him on his entrance. His speech WAS
nearly three and half hours long, and in
it he unfolded the plans of the govern
ment for the amelioration of Ireland's
condition. The time for skirmishing
with the Irish question had passed, he
said. The government proposed, he con-
tinued, to give Ireland domestic legisla-
ture to deal with Irish as distinguished
from imperial affairs, Irish peers and rep
resentatives being excluded from the
palace of Westminster. The general
power of taxation, except as to customs
duties and such excise duties as are i'm
mediately connected with the customs, is
TO pass into the hands of the Irish legis-
lature; and the proceeds of the customs
and excise are to be held for the benefit
of Ireland. The Legislature is to consist
of twenty-eight representative peers and
seventy-five representatives elected by
the people, these two orders to sit and
deliberate together with the right of vot-
ing separately. Ireland is to bear one

people of the state, demands that day be
again designated tor united progression in
the work then systcmaticaally organized

people of other progressive states, do here

THE TARIFF BILL.

The Morrison tariff bill has been re-
ported to the House. 1t places on the
free list wool, fish, lumber and a few
other articles. The changes from the
existing tariff seem not to have been
made in accordance with any principles
known to the science of economics, but
solely for political ends. 1t strikes heavy
blows at leading industries, and neither
helps Others nor the people at large. 1t
cannot possible pass the Senate, even if
it should get through the House, and that
is far from probable.

1t is said that signatures are being OBJ

consent to become Il candidate before the

This move. as interpreted by those famil-

him an opportunity to formally take him
self out of the field in as graceful and
polite manner as possible. 1t is plain to

out with great eclat and noise several
months ago with the purpose of securing

becoming winded. What
little support they ever had from the

We take this opportunity of expressing our
deep gratitude IN the many friends, nrighbOr>
and relatives who, during OuI recent illness
and bereavement, manifested such untuiling
interest and attention. Words fail rs uS we
would tender our thanks to the Masonic fra
tcrnitN for their sympathy and tenderness
also for services rendered during the last daVs
of their brother, and the performance of the
last sad rites. To the Fire company who by
their attendance paid respect to the deceased
member, and to the band, whose sad strains
lent such imprcssiVencsS to the occasion, are
we also indebted. We can simply thank Nou,
and in chcrishing the memory OF the depart
ed may we all like him be impatient only for
the "hOmc in heaven" for which he longcd
and which awaits alike all that are faithful.
