The Prohibitionists propose to run a

GIadstone's Home-Rule Scheme.

LONDON, March 1Sth-Charles Russell,
the Attorney General, was entertained at a
banquet by his constituents last evening.
In reply to the usual complimentary ad-
dress, Mr. Russell said Englishmen might
rest assured that Gladstone's scheme OF
home rule for Ireland was just and equit-
able measure, whose adoption would unite
the Liberal party and strengthen the best
interests of the empire. Coercion had
failed completely; therefore it was deemed
wise to substitute judiciously devised sys-
tenn of home rule. If Mr.. Chamberlain
should resign at such time as this, the
country would accept no excuse for his de-
sertion short of reasons of the gravest and
most convincing character
Justin Mccarthy, speaking in Glasgow
last night, said the Nationalist desire to
extend the hand of friendship to Orange
men, because Ireland should be the coun-
try of all others in which Irishmen should
sink their differences of opinion.

The San Francisco Cal enlarges upon
the fact that the Chinese enjoy monop-
oily of the pork trade of that city. They
dictate terms and impose fines on white
butchers for infractions of the Chinese
rules of the trade. Here is one instance
waving the incidental injury to the
whites in the trade-in which the China
man may be encouraged If he will so
monopolize pork as to prevent white peo-
pie from using it, the latter will be that
much better off. The jew has the best of
physical reasons for rejecting pork food.
Upon him, at least, the Chinese monopoly
of the trade can have no effect.

SENATOR EDMUNDs made strong point
when, in his recent speech, he proved by
the records that for nearly a half cen
fury there had been no case in which a
President has refused to give his reasons
for removal or appointment, when Jack
son attempted to hold the Senate by the
throat. He clinched his argument when
he produced copy of a letter by the judi
ciary Committee of the Senate sent in 1879
to President Hayes, asking for the reasons
for the removal of Judge Shafer, of the
Supreme Court Of Utah, and requiring
that all papers and information in the case
be furnished to the Senate. The Chairman
OF that committee was Allen G. Thurman
and next to him were Mcdonald of Indi
ana, Bayard, Garland and Lamar-the
three last being now Cabinet officers. All
these ordered the letter sent. and the letter
recently forwarded to the President. and
out of which the present issue springs. is
almost an exact copy of the Democratic
precedent. What difference it does
make, to be sure, whose OK is gored.
