The VpIEast Riot.

The serious rioting at Belfast, the Prot
estant capital of Ireland, seems to have had
its origin i'm the excitement of feeling pro-
duced by the home rule agitation and to
have been fostered to its disastrous growth
by the free whisky which the pillaging
crowd secured; and perhaps it was the de-
sire to get the liquor, more than rage at
home rule, which led the leaders to the
fray. The development shows, however,
what an exceedingly difficult task is before
the English government in undertaking
TO give the home rule to Ireland which
is demanded by the majority of its
people but which is as resOlutely re-
sisted by the Protestant minority inhabit
ing the northern part of the island, and
who would rather be under the rule of
Protestant England than of Catholic Ire.
land. Theobyious suggestion is to- give home
rule only to those provinces of Ireland that
desire it but there are practical dItiicultie.
in the way of thus cutting up the island
which seem to forbid it.

LANCASTER. JUNE 10. 1886
The Wickedest Town.

East st. Louis needs to change its name
for st. Louis sake, that may be held ac-
countable for its sins, though the Missis-
sippi rolls between and different states hold
them. East st. Louis is suburb, never
theless, of st. Louis, and has the original
iniquity of suburb upon it; to which eX-
tent st. Louis is responsible for it.
From the accounts of to-day it seems
that there is scarcely an honest town officer
in st. Louis, save the mayor, and perhaps
some of the council. The police are al
suspended from office on the charge of
being accomplices of burglars, city clerk
and city treasurer are being tried for the
same offense, and some of the council are
under indictment for abetting gambling
and if there is any clean man in East st.
Louis, which is a Democratic town, the
plainly Republican authors of this state
ment of East st. Louis wickedness, do not
seem to have found him, unless as we have
said, it be the mayor, whom they do no
accuse. This is the mayor who arrested, or
the bridge connecting the two towns, tn
murderous deputy marshals of the railroa,
companies and who has more than one,
been favorably prominent before the coun
try.
If the story sent us turns out to be true
East st. Louis may take rank as the wick.
eldest town in the country, which is saying
much for its depravity. But inasmuch as
the wholesale accusation against the author
tiles is based upon the narrative of con
fessed burglar, who claims to have beer
their confederate, it will be prudent t,
await its confirmation.

Compliments to Miss Van vechten.

Washington Letter to the Albany Argu-.
The cablegram in recent papers noting the
fact of Miss Annie Van Nechten's preseuta-
tion at the queens last drawing room was
pleasant reading in Washington, where that
young Albany lady made many friends.
Another Miss Van Nechten, Lizzie, a distant
relative OF the Albany family, was presented
by name to the president one day last week,
and on catching the name he asked with in
terest, 80 Are you related TO our Miss Van
Nechten whom We all like so much at the
White House ?" and added, " have noticed
your name in the papers for several weeks
as being here, but this is the first time you
have been to sec me-"
Indulge me in adding compliment quite
unique, which was paid to Miss Van Nechten
here by Newport lady who had once been
her hostess. Hearing her praises spok en-
alter her recent departure, she said ''Well,
] can tell you something Tarcr yet about
Annie Van Nechten. She visited me two
weeks and never once kept the table waiting
moment, and that's what | call true
lady,n
