There are drawbacks to the legislation
which Mr.. Gladstone proposes tor Ireland
which are beginning to be thrust to the
front. 1t Will be remembered that when
the land purchase bill was introduced
into the House Mr.. Parnell and his fol-
lowers did not receive il with any great
amount of enthusiasm. MIR. Parnell said
that he would do his best to help to make
it acceptable. The truth doubtless is,
that while the land purchase bill is
necessary for the success of the home
rule bill, everyone sees that it is hedged
about with all sorts OF difficulties.
One of the largest OF the Irish landlords
in a recent letter says that the interest in
the home rule bill in Ireland is small IN
comparison 10 that in the land purchase
bill. The latter bill touches the pockets
of every class. If the twin bills become
laws the landlords will disappear of
course, and the farmers will, in meas
ure, take their places. Under the land
purchase bill the rents OF the farmers will
be reduced 20 per cent, but they will
have other burdens to bear that will be
greater than this 20 per cent. reduction.
They are hardly able to pay their rents
now, and what will they do when they
are called upon to bear even greater
Durdensl
The landlord in question then calls at
tention to the laborers. What, he asks, is
to become ofthem? Under the new sys-
TEN the farmers will not have any more
use for them than they now have, II so
much. The landlords have been furnish
Ing the laborers with a very large part of
their living. The only thing left for many
OF them to do will be to emigrate.
Attention is also directed TO the artisan
class OF the small towns. 1t is certain
that their taxes will be far heavier than
they now are and their ability to increase
their earnings will not be greater. The
conclusion is that they will have to emil
CRATE by the thousands.
There is another thing that cannot be

sary, It may be made more acceptable

Prohibition in New York.

A bill is pending before the Legislature
OF New York which makes the politicians
OF that State little uneasy. 1t provides
for submitting to the people an amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors in that State.
There are good many prohibitionists
in New York and thev are mainly Repub-
licans. The Republicans, therefore, are
more disturbed over the pending bill than
the Democrats are. 1t is not believed
that the proposed amendment to the con.
stitution would be adopted if it were sub
mitted to the people, although, since a
similar amendment was unexpectedly
adopted in Rhode Island the other day,
there are not few in New York who are
sanguine enough to think that the amend.
ment would stand good chance of being
passed in that State.
The vote for St.John was not very large
in New York, but il is admitted that his
vote did not begin to measure the pro-
hibtiOn strength. The strength of the
prOhibltiOnists is in their earnestness.
They are sincere. and that counts tor a
great deal in any sort Of political con-
test. Ii the proposed amendment goes to
the people as nOn-partisan measure il
will, doubtless, command an extraordi-
narily large vote.
Perhaps the wisest thing tor the New
York Legislature to do, if there is really
a strong prohibition sentiment in that
State, is to pass a local option bill. With
such bill the counties in which public
sentiment is strong enough to enforce
prohibition could then wholly suppress
the liquor traffic within their borders.
II the constitution should be so
amended as to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquor in
the State the law could hardly be effect
lively enforced in New York and other
large cities of the State. The sentiment
back Of 1t would not be strong enough.
and the sale OF liquors would be con-
tinued on about as large a scale as it is
now, That sort Of thing would do in
calculable harm to the cause Of temper
ance. Local option promises better re.
suits than prohibition in New York.

There are still, however, some doubling

The contract for the first forty miles
from this city has been let, and the con-
tractor is here preparing to begin work.
The starting point in this city has not vet
been determined upon, and the work will.
therefore, begin at point few miles
from the city. Contracts for 5000.
600 worth OF machinery have been
given to well known locomotive works.

Washington, Jan. 49, When Senator

was present, and promptly rose to chal-

the resolution to go over under the rule.
Senator Edmunds appealed to Cockrell,
stating tnat 1t was due as a matter of
courtesy, etc. Senator Harrison pro-
ceeded to take special delight in cram

of the trio has any Authority to speak
for Dakota and speaking without au-

the views of Dakota. Their statement
was that if division as whole could not
be accomplished, division on the Mis-

pleaders speak only for few individuals
and do not voice the sentiments of the
territory which for the past ten years
