Mr.. Gladstone, in Parliament Thurs
day, made his momentous speech out
lining the Government bill to settle the
Irish question. He occupied three
hours and twenty-five minutes in its
delivery, and closed amid wild enthusl-
asm. The measure. as he stated it,
contcmplates Parliament at Dublin,
composed of two "orders,' to which
the present Irish members of the House
OF Lords and Commons will be trans
ferred. In addition, representatives
are to be chosen by the Irish electors.
Following the speech came sharp de-
bate, in which Mr.. Trevelyan took &C.
occasion to explain his detection from
the Gladstone wing of the Liberal
party, and to cast some aspersions on
what he termed american assassna-
ton literature" To this Mr.. Parnell
made caustic reply, and went on to
express his satisfaction with Mr.. Glad
stones speech, adding, however, that
the proposed bill contained some er-
ors which he hoped to rectify. Mr..
Gladstone's speech was the greatest
effort of his life, and is likely to be
productive of much good to Ireland.

A well-dressed young man of gentle

elf N Of Poison.

1t is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the sup
preston of all gift, prize and lottery
schemes in connection with the sale OF
articles of merchandise. These schemes
are not only demoralizing to legitimate
business and to the morals of the COM
munity, but in the extent in which
they are being carried in the sale OF
articles of food have become sourc c
of great danger to the public health.
They are, no matter in what form they
appear, nothing more or less than de-
vices to swindle honest and nnsuspect-
ing people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the law have
taken hold of the matter. In New
York, and also in Chicago, parties who
in this way offered gifts to purchasers
Of their packages have recently been
arrested upon indictments for lottery
swindling. The latest candidates, both
for public eXecraton and criminal pros
ecuton, are The manufacturers of the
alum baking powders, who are both by
means of gifts and lottery tickets, dis
posing of large quantities of their cor
rosively poisonous compounds, which
are so well known to be detrimental to
health that no hOusekecpcr will admit
them to her kitchen, knowingly. This
form of swiudla is not only being ped
died from house to house, but nnder
the promise of large profits to be real
lied, and manufacturers are entrench-
ing themselves behind the counters of
many grocers by getting them to offer
the alum goods with the gifts of lottery
tickets attached, thereby shifting the
liability to prosecution, in part, upon
other and, perhaps, innocent parties.
Every grocer or dealer, for instance,
who sells or offers for sale any OF the
prize or lottery baking powders is q
criminal in the eye of the law, and la-
BILE. upon conviction, to fine and i'm
prisonment, while those who sell the
gift goods are, morally as responsible,
for they are offering an inducement, or
prize, to housekoepers to use a food
that contains corrosive poison This
is prcdicament in which it is not pos
sible or grocers will care to place them
selves when they come to think serious
ly of the matter.
1t must be borne III mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking pow
ders, are alum baking powders. These
powders cost less than four certs a
pound to produce; the gift or prize
costs hut few cents more. They are
sold at the price of first-class baking
powder, so that tine swlndle, in a COM
mercial sence, is enormous. But the
chief iniquity Of the business consists
in selling, as presumably wholesome,
an article of positively injurious char
acter, and by means of gifts or brides
iRduoing servants or unsuspccting
housekeepers TO parch4ae and use it in
our daily food.
There should be some prompt method
of reaching these dangerous practices
and furnishing the parties engaged in
their promotion. IF the present laws
are not ample, we commend the mat
ter to the consideration of our State
Board of Health for recommendation
of such additional legislation as shall
be effective for the protection of the
public. - Boston Journal.
