GLADSTONES T1CTICS,

The facility with which Mr.. Gladstone has
outmanDuvred his foes in Parliament has left
them in a dazed and irritable frame of mind.
They have been outfanked by this master of po-
litcal strategy and their followers are grad
ually struggling back into the Liberal camp. In
their perplexity and alarm they charge him
with employing dscreditable tactics and over
reaching them by unfair and even dishonorable
expedents. Lord Randolph Churchill taunts
him with duplicity in sayiu2 thing to reas-
sure the Irish members and another and very
different thing to inveigle Mr.. Chamberlain's
body-guard into deserting from the cave.
Lord Harrington sharply critcises his conduct
as without Parliamentary precedent or war
rant In another quarter the cry is raised that
his speech at the Liberal meeting was disin-
genuOus and that vote for the second reading
is coverty designed to be pledge to support
new Home Rule bill which nobody has seen.
Mr.. Gladstones opponents agree in this, If in
nothing else, that he is a very INSCRIPTIONS
politician, who is bent upon defeating them by
fair means or foul and whipping them all in
afterward to the support of Home Rule.
The excitement has reached a dangerous
pitch in London and impartial Judgment of the
Prime Minister'S motives seems to be lacking.
COOl-headed spectators at distance fail to dis
Germ anything discreditabe in his course, and are
filled with admiration for his fertility of re.
source, his persistent courage and his incOmpar-
able skill in extricating the cause of Home Rule
from imminent danger of defeat. They listen
with amazement at the coarse abuse and angry
invective directed against him. They can dis
cern no traces of inconsistency in his speeches
at the Liberal meeting and on Friday night iu
Parliament On each occasion lie was equally
candid and spoke with the same voice to the
Irish and the English members He invited to
the conference all Liberals who were in favor
of separate Parliament in Dublin. lie told
them that a vote for the second reading would
commit them to the broad principle that
another Legislature for the conduct of Irish as
distinguished from Imperial business was need.
ed. In Parliament he reafiirmed this principle
and declared that the Government were pre-
pared to stand by it and to fight for it to the
end. These utterances are consistent and

logical.

On Sunday next, THE TRIBUNE will begin the
publication of series Of articles on General
Grants political career and private life, written
by his military secretary, biOgrapher and in
innate friend, General Adam Badeau. These
articles are not intended to form a connected
narrative, but to illustrate various striking
events, secret passages and hidden traits in re-
gard to hich General Badeau-who is doubt
less more familiar with this mine of unwritten
history than almost any other man now living
can offer peculiar testimony. Every article
will contain hitherto unpublished letter or
document of historical interest, which The
TRIBUNE will often print IN fac-simile if adapt
ed to reproduction in that form.
General Grant was aware of General
Badeau's intention to give these memoirs to
the world. approved his purpose and assisted
his preparations; and there is every reason to
suppose that they will prove to be delightful
and important contribution to our records of

well aware, however, that Mr.. Chace's theory

The clause of the Constitution empowering
Congress to secure to authors and inventors the
exclusive right to their productions Tor

the basis, or moral sanction, of the right thus
secured; and Mr.. Chace's reasoning on this

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HARV1RD ATHLETES.
The most extraordinary statement by all ODDS
that has yet come from Harvard regarding the de-
veopment of athletic sports at that ancient seat
Of learning is contained in the following paragraph
which appears in The Boston Erening Record:
There was clause In the Harvard Bulletin for May
which seems to have escaped much pubic notice az
though tho announcement 1t makes is rather novel
This clause that two scholarships have peen
founded tbi. year IN Harvard with an income ior he
nresent of 5000 per which to be award
ed for excellence either the classics or IN athletic con-
frs,s The scholarships are to be called the George
Emerson Lowell scholarships. and will be hrst given
mex. year. ~ :, . .
would seem to be due to the carelessness OF some
proof.reader or to an inadverteuce on the part OF
some of the university officers. But nobody who
has had occasion to observe at short range the
sometimes painful exactness of the phraseol-
ogy of Harvard bulletin, or of an Of
fetal notification of any sort from
the Faculty, would suggest such
an explanation. The suppositon that aesthetic "
was meant for "athctc" is rendered untenable
also by the fact that aesthetic contests" would be
nonsense and there is not enough resemblance be-
tween "oratorcal" and athletic" to make 1t pos
sibe that the one word has been substituted by
mistake for the other.
Assuming then the correctness of the announce
ment. its significance is such as to cause an able
bodied, back-action triple-plated shiver to run
down the spne of every son Of Yale, Columbia and
Princeton who is interested in the athletic sports OF
his college and who is desrous of seeing its coori
TO the fore. True, the Harvard authorities have
the option of awarding these two 5000 scholarships
TO students who excel either in the classics OF
in athletics, so that it is doubtful II the
stroke Of next years crew or the
member Of the nine who has the best batting and
fielding average or he VINO shows himself most ex-
pert at those .ess rugged games, lawntennis or la
crosse will carry off either of these prizes. No such
revolution will take place Immediately. But be-
ginning has been made and the step is only short
one from the founding of scholarships for
excellence either in the classics OF
in athletics to tho Offering OF
similar prizes for excellence in athletic contests
alone 1t Is safe to say that when that time comes
bonfres will turn night into day at Cambridge
and waing and gnaShing of teeth will resounc
through the halls of Yale Princeton and Columbia
Outside of Cambridge oars and bats will be hung
with Grape and even tho bounding football may
collapse in sheer despair-when that great day
comes.

Court is overturned and the tax on the corpora

position of the Supreme Court was that as the
statute did not bear equally on all corporations,
1t imposed special ard discriminating tax
which is illegal This.the higher court denies
on the ground that the railroad companies are

therefore may be separately and distinctly
taxed. The companies hereafter will pay an
