EQUITIES AND INEOUIrIEs.

In reference to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, Senator Sherman
says the company has forfeited its
grant, but that it would be grossly in
equitable for the Government to hold
1t to Its forfeit, owing to the interven-
tion of rights of third parties. In other
words, the Government grants certain
valuable rights and privileges to n
syndicate of millionaires on condition
that the syndicate fulfill certain obliga-
tions. Then the syndicate, still the re-
sponsible principal disposes of por-
tion of its rights and privileges for
hundred times what the whole cost,
and, as syndicate of billionaires,
comes back TO the Government putting
up poor mouth and asking extensions
and further grants, having made no ef-
fort to meet its obligations and still
busy disposing of privileges at an
enormous profit to outside innocent
parties. Then comes your Senator,
and acknowledging that all rights are
forfeited by the original grantees,
claims that it would be inequitable to
the rights of third parties to exact the
forfeit.
That is to say, the Government con
niyes with the syndicate in securing
third parties in contract, whereby
the syndicate will be enabled to make
millions Of money, aud on the plea Of
inequity to third parties be excused
from meeting the obligation of it's con
tract. AS the matter now stands the
Government surrenders the forfeit to
the syndicate In order that innocent
third parties. who still have money to
pay to the syndicate, may continue to
contribute to its Golfers, and that those
already in may not be compelled to
call on the police to pull" the syndl-
cate as Skin game" gang. Isn't it
nearly time that the Capitol was being
converted into "fencs' for the recep-
tion of stolen goods?

THE BELFAST RIOTS.

The rioting in Protestant Ulster had
what seems to many people, especially
on this side of the Atlantic, an unwar-
rantably long run before the British
Government saw fit to step in and de-
clare the localities in which 1t prevailed
to be under martial law For days and
nights in Belfast there have been blood
shed, debauchery, looling and the
wrecking of houses going on; and the
people have wondered why the streets
were not swept of the mob by cannon.
There may have been reason why
the Government, when 1t saw that the
local authorities were either unable or
unwilling to put down the lawlessness,
did not step promptly in and declare
martial law instead of waiting until last
night before taking such action; aud
that reason was political. The Con
servatives and other Anti Home Rule
members of Parliament made ii one of
their most prominent arguments that If
Mr.. Gladstone's bill should pass there
would be outbreaks in various parts of
Ireland. Great stress was laid upon
that point and 1t was currently reported
that General Lord Wolsely would re.
sign his commission in the army to
lead the Orangemen against the ma
jority of Ireland If Parliament should
vote for Home Rule. The peaceful and
loyal people of the North Of Ireland
were not to be turned over to a ruthless
foe without an appeal to arms.
Well, the Home Rule bill, instead of
passing, was defeated, and promptly
upon the announcement Of the defeat
these peaceful and loyal citizens began
to do what they have been doing ever
since. Under these circumstances it
was not at all unlikely that Mr.. Glad
stones Home Rule government should
hesitate to interpose, until it was fully
demonstrated that the police were un-
able to cope with the rioters. In the
meantime the elements of outlawry
have had their way with vengeance.
The effect can be but In one direction
hS hOuCot NOtCls vi luC lultCu
dom will scarcely feel, in the light of
recent events, like surrendering a great
cause TO the demands of men whose
only arguments are the bludgeon, paw
ing-stone and torch. Thus will Home
Rule be strengthened in the coming
Parliamentary elections. And Mr..
Gladstone and his followers will no
doubt take every advantage possible
of the campaign material which those
peaceful and loyal citizens of the North
Of 1reland-for whom the hearts of the
Home Rule politicians have beat
so sympathetically-have put in theil
hands. 1t is said that there is no evi

riots in Belfast and elsewhere seem tC
come within that category. The Tories
certainly cannot complain that thu
Government has exercised undue co

BEN. BUTLER's nuGABoo.

Benjamin F. Butler, who has been
n prophet not without honor save in
New Orleans, is in a fair way to lose
prestige by his recent pronouncements
on the future of the country. Boiled
down they mean that in the next genera.
tion the South will dominate the Gov.
eminent, as 1t did in the last, and
another war will result. He bases his
calculations on Southern increase, and
forgets entirely to take into the count
the very possible offset which will arise
in the increase In the West and North
west, and the further fact that all
Southern increase Is due to Northern
and Eastern influence and capital,
IN twenty years from now niue.

WOODCRAFT.

He makes his way, with speed and ease,
Through woods that show the MONDAY star;
The moss grown trunks of oldest trees
His lettered gulde.boards are.
The tameless bee he follows home;
He marks in air the path II beats
The hollow oak that holds the comb,
With all Its trickling sweets.
The gnarly vine no vintner binds,
TO him swings down its purple hoard;
The shade embosomed spring he finds,
His drinking'cup golrd.
Lacks he n rooff--the withe he bends,
The bough he pleaches overhead;
A coucht--the fallen LEAKAGE lends
A soft and fragrant bed.
Lacks he q frei-the kindling spark
He bids the chafed wood reveal;
Lacks he boatf-of birchen bark
He frames u lightsome keel.
And that he may not savage he,
He Carves a flute whose yearning tones,
Upon a summer eve set free,
Wake love In clods and stones.
