Freedom for Ireland.

From the N. Y. Star.
The scene in the House of Commons
Thursday, marked an epoch in British
history. After centuries of effort to
conquer and hold subject the brave
Irish people by force, a great English
statesman, the Premier of the empire,
confessed that the long experiment had
proved a dreary failure, and proposed
new policy of justice and freedom as
the path to real peace and concord
between Great Britain and Ireland.
Whether the proposal will be accept
ed by the present Parliament remains
to be seen, but nothing can undo the
work done yesterday, when England
through the lips of her Premier con-
fessed the fntility and injustice of
centuries Of wrong to the Irish peo-
pie. Stubborn pride and ignorant
timidity may delay the now inevita-
bic result, but the spoken words can
never he recalled, and the wrong adj
mitted cannot be persisted III.
Mr.. Gladstone truly said that the
severance of the parliamentary power
was the only way to "the continuity
and everlasting power Of the empire"
The principal features of Mr.. Glad
stones measure are; A Parliament
of two chambers, to consist of Irish
peers and representatives. No Irish
peers or representatives to sit in the
imperial body. The levying of GUS
toms excise to be retained by the i'm
perial power, but all proceeds to be
set aside for Irish obligations, the bal
ance to go into the Irish exchequer,
and to DO disposed of by the Irish legis.
lature. The new Irish body TO be
elected for five years. The power of
local administration is to accompany
the legislative power. The bill re-
serves to the British Parliament all
that relates to the monarchy, the de-
Tense, the entire organization Of arm
ed force, the foreign and colonial re-
lations, those of trade and navigation
and Of coinage and legal tender.
The post Office, quarantine and seine
similar matters arc left open for par
liamentary decision. The Irish legis-
lature is TO consist in its first chamber
or order Of the iwenty.eight represen-
tativo peers who now sit In tho House
Of Lords. Their tenure to be for life,
To them Mr.. Gladstone woukl add

road to Alpena-said sum and the
right of way to be turned over to

The presiding officer asked those in
favor of the resolution as read to
stand up, aud a large number arose.
Those opposed were then requested to
stand up and show themselves, and,
four or five arose. but being greeted
by laughter they soon sat down. The
motion was declared carried.
Mr.. Robinson moved that COM
mittee of five be appointed to solicit
subscriptions from those present, to-
wards raising the rest of the required
$4,000 bonus. The chair appointed
G. j. Robinson, c. Alpern, G. l..
Maltz, w. III. Potter and Nj. O'Brien
as committee on subscriptions.
Some of those present now started
to leave the hall, and citizen pres
ent shouted clock the door"
1t was then moved that the names
of the citizens who had subscribed to
the bonus should be published. The
subscribers are rs follows:

The sixth annual report of the Bell
Telephone Company, just issued, con-
tains some information which will
interest the public as showing the mag
nitude of the telephone business. On
March 80, 1886, the company had 1852
exchanges, 432 branch offices, 1901
miles of wire on poles, 10,049 miles
of wires on buildings, 3,42S miles of
wire underground, and 264 miles of
wire; total subscribers, 1877, ;
$40; total employees, 5,344. The
miles of underground wire are distri-
buted among the following cities ;
Washington, 992; Chicago, 100;
New York, 627; Pittsburg, GA; Bcs-
ton, 2S9; Brooklyn, 1874; Baltimore,
II |; Milwaukee, 1. The Treasurer's
statement shows that the gross earn
ings for the year were 81, 1855, 1884, and
the expenses s972,6sS, leaving 81
for net earnings. These fig
ures are sufficient to indicate that the
is carrying on a pretty fair
stroke of business, and is managing
to make both ends meet.-Ex.

seventy-five senators or members to
be elected by the occupiers Of land
valued at e25 and upward. These
members to be seized in real property
of the value of 92O0 annually. The
second chamber, all elective, to con-
sist of 206 members. The Viceroy
would represent the Grown, but in a
nonpartisan sense. He could have
delegated to him any or all preroga-
tives now enjoyed by the Queen. The
judges are to be appointed by the
legislature hereafter. The constabu-
larry would serve as at present and be
controlled by the Viceroy. The civil
service would be under the legislature.
Mr.. Gladstone would provide that
Ireland should pay one-fiteenth of the
imperial expenditure, and be assisted
this year to start the new government.
This division of power appears awk-
ward to those accustomed to our own
system of government. 1t deprives
Ireland of that representation in inn
perial matters which our States have
in federal affairs. 1t gives Ireland a
more complete autonomy than our
system gives TO the States.

Oh. don't you remember when you were q boy
What mischief and trouble you nader
How YOU were q sorrow instead Of O icy
To parents you never obeyedI
How little you needed their loving voicef
How saucy you were TO them, too;
And how you would manage by ev'ry device
To shirk what they told you TO do?
How selfish you we're in enjoying your fun;
How little assistance you gave
To keep up the home which your parents
had won
For you by denisls so brave.
And do you forget, when you lay in your cot
In sickness. their nursing and carer
And don't you still think Of the whppings

There is a point in the famous
Stony Cove, among the Catskills, where
ice can be found the year round. All
the seasons are represented there in
the spring time. Spring shows itself
in the delicate rawberry blossom, and
little further up in the sunshine is to
be found the sweet and luscious fruit.
Autumn is represented by the magnifi-
cent colOring of the foliage, while old
winter provides an abundance of ice
for the gay picknickers who assemble
from some of the numerous popul: r
boarding houses and hotels of the Gel.
ebrated region. The Notch is walled
in by steep mountains on either side,
more than three thousand feet high. -
