In very able letter recently written
by Justin Mccarthy, hatdistinguished
writer and Statesman says: Only one
year ago--less than one year ago-the
parrot cry of nearly all the English
newspapers was, English statesmen
must never consent even to listen to ar
guments on the question of Home Rule.
Let me tell your readers that Mr. Glad
stones is no such new or rapid CONVEX
SION as many people think. For sew
eral years Gladstone was in favor of
the principle OF Home Rule. but had
always two great ditficulties-he was
not satisfied that the majority, The real
majority, Of the Irish people were
strongly in favor of Home Rule, and he
had not seen what he considered sat
isfactory plan to accomplish Home
Rule. The first difficulty was removed
altogether by the late elections, and the
return Of eighty-six Home Rule mem
bers. The second difficulty MIR. Glad
stone resolved by trying to devise a
scheme himself that particular scheme
may fail-but if it fails it will only be
succeeded by scheme better, more
comprehensive, more satisfactory,
which will be passed, may be by Liber-
ais, may be by Tories, but it will be
passed. Gladstone will educate Eng
land as Parnell has educated Glad

AGENTS FOR THE IRISH STANDARD
The following gentlemen are autho-

in their respective localities
THE HOME RULE SITUATION.

The Home Rule bill has been the
subject of much discussion in Great
Britain during the Easter recess, and
several large public meetings have been
addressed by prominent men opposed to
Home Rule as we'll as members of the
government Public attention has
been SO thoroughly absorbed that other
questions have been wholly lost sight Of,
and the result on the whole must be re-
garded as satisfactory by all who desire
to see this perplexing matter reach a
successful climax. One hopeful sign is
that the moro the question has been dis
cussed, the more the English Masses are
convinced that the Gladstone bill is
right. In fact at some Of the meetings
held the people refused to fhear Liberal
or Tory who opposed tbs British Pre-
mier, and i'll many places resolutions
have been aaopteab.y Overwhelming ma
jorities expressing confidence in his pol
icy towards Ireland. A great number
who were at first opposed to the Home
fSu!e h1ll are beginning to recognize the
TACT that Cancellation is the only policy
to be adopted, and that a people cannot
be conciliated by giving them what you
see fit, but what they want. Ireland
proclaimed at the last election by the
voice OF all immense majority that she
will be satisfied with nothing short Of
Legislative Independence. This she is
certain to receive at no far distant day,
and the sooner this fact is appreciated
by the members and others who are op-
posed to Mr. Gladstone the sooner the
Irish problem will be solved. It is said
that many Of the members who intended
to vote against the measure are now,
in the light of the events which have tran
spired during the past week, anxious to
return to their allegiance. Taking every
thing into consideration it is probable
that the bill will pass it's second reading.

The IRISH STANDARD is in receipt
of a copy of the Victoria (B. C.) Times,
and our expert on hieroglyphics after
repeated attempts was enabled to de-
cipher from it's blurred and slovenly-
columns, a short paragraph rejecting
on The STANDARDS criticism of the
villainous persecution Of Edward Kelly,
who was recently released from the st.
Paul jail, where he had been held for
some time past at the instigation of
the British Columbia sleuth-hounds.
The IRISH STANDARD will always es-
pouse the cause Of the oppressed, and
no amount of Kissing and jeering from
irresponsible sheets like the Victoria
Times will ever cause it for moment
to swerve from the path Of justice.

facts concerning the knights Of Labor

THE I,ABOR AGITATION,

AS will be observed by perusal Of
the kilograms in the daily press from
different parts Of the United States the
labor situation is in an exceedingly
critical condition, and in no place is the
result more to be feared than in Chi
cagc. In that city alone it is estimated
that at the present time fifty thousand
men are idle, and it is not difficult to
imagine that with so many of them as
are likely to be iraamed with passion
and excitement and not few of them
Wild with liquor, it would take but
spark to kindle Il conhagration Of alarm
ing dimensions In this particular case
it is to be hoped that the respectable
workingmen Of America will not be held
responsible for the disgraceful outrages
perpetrated during the past week. The
rioters are principally foreigners, and in
scarcely an instance can true born
American be found. They are creatures
that make themselves offensive to civil
ization both in Europe and America,
and revel in the lawless behavior char
acteristic of that society known as $50
cialists." With very few exceptions
this society is composed Of Poles, Bo-
hemians, Russians, Swiss, Alsatians and
Prussians. It is rare instance, where
one of them can be found speaking the
English language. The object Of this
society is to uproot civilization and re-
turn the world to state Of barbarism
Its members preach revolution, anarchy
and social chaos, and delight to parade
their foreign impudence on our streets. 't't

THE STARVING PEASANTS.

The pathetic appeal on behalf of the
destitute inhabitants Oh the barren
slopes of Achill and Arran in Ireland
from the able pen of Mr. j. B. Pewters,
st. Paul, which. appeared in the col
1mns Of the Globe few days ago, is
one which should be promptly re-
sponded to by every Irishman and
every friend of ireland in the land who
has drop of charitable blood flowing
through his veins.
From the green shores of the land of
our fathers there comes wall Of pity
and pain across the trackless paths Of
the mighty ocean, from the parched lips
Of our own kith and kin asking us for
the sake of Him who purchased redemp-
tion for us on Calvary's Hill to save
them from being famished to death by
hunger. Is anything more necessary to
urge hasty response to Mr.. Pewters'
appeal?
Michael Davitt writes that he has
visited the place, and the destitution is
terrible. He says that Of the hundreds
of children that he met there, he did not
see q single one over whose features the
happy smile OF child-like comfort ever
hovered. 1t is scarcely necessary for us
to appeal to our countrymen in this try
ing ordeal. We know their ever-gener-
GUS hearts too we'll to think for an in-
stant that they will hesitate on this oc-
casion to come to the relief of suffer-
ing people whom they so often sue
cored before. This may, perhaps,
under the guiding hands of an all-wise
Providence, be the last time that such @
thing will be needed; for beneath the
genial sunshine of native Legislation,
the frosted fangs Of periodical famines
will soon disappear. Let meetings be
called at once in both Minneapolis and
st. Paul let the rich mans five dollars
be augmented by the poor mans one,
and sent to the afflicted districts imme-
diately, and those for whose welfare it is
will yet live to bless with loving lips
(from around which the traces Of starva-
tion will have disappeareD the names Of
the generous donors.

all, less formidable; to give heed to the
voice Of 9 people speaking in tones OF
moderation BY the mouth of vast ma
jority Of those whom we ourselves have
made its constitutional representatives.
and thus to strengthen and consolidate
the empire on basis of mutual benefit
and hearty loyalty. Such is the end.
AS for the means, we take the establish
ment at Dublin of Legislative body to
make laws for Irish as contradistin-
guished from imperial affairs. It Is
with this that we are now busted, and
not with details and particulars. Their
time will come. They are now employed
with art before their season to bewilder
llnwary souls. So it has been before.
You remember how we'll the campaign
against franchise was managed by set
ting in the front Of battle the pretended
dangers of redistribution. We are not
now debating the amount of the Irish
contributions to the empire, OF the COM
position of the Legislative body, or the
maintenance of representative connec-
ton with Westminster. On these and
many more questions we may and may
not be at odds, but what we are debat-
ing is the larger question which includ-
es, I think absorbs, them all-the ques-
tion whether you will or will not have
regard for the prayer of Ireland for the
management Of affairs specifically and
exclusively set down. This and no other
is the matter with which the Commons
has to decide. If it speaks with clear
and Ineligible voice on this matter, I
feel the strongest assurance that the
others, difficult as some Of them are,
will, nevertheless, with the aid Of full
discussion and wise, conciliatory spirit,
be found capable Of rational and toler-
able settlement. It is no more than to
devote with cheerfulness to the cause
the small available residue of my active
life. But let me in these closing words
extend my view beyond my honored con-
stituency and in one sentence say to
you, my countrymen Of Scotland, I can
do much with you essentially and not
without any pers n Or class OF section
among you. It rests with you to deliv-
er the great aye OF no, on your choice
between which depend, all the best
hopes of ireland and much that touches
in it's honor and high interest Great
Britain and all the mighty empire Of our
Queen

TIE negotiations during the Easter
recess between Gladstone and Cham
berlain have been conducted by MI
Laboucllere, and his efforts have been
rewarded at least with some show OF
success. Differences OF opinion, says
Thomas Power O'Connor, have gradu.
ally melted away under the influence OF
mutual explanations and Labouchere's
tact, and are narrowed down to the bare
question of the retention of Irish mem
bers Of Parliament at Westminster.

st, Thomas Manor Claim.-Mr. rav

member of Congress, ON Tennes-
see on Tuesday PROPOSED several
amendments to the deficiency bill pro-
viding for the payment of certain war claims
which have already been awarded by the Court
Of Claims. Among them was an item to pa /,
81, 035 to the Corporation of Roman Catholic
clergymen of the State ST Maryland for losses
sustained during the war. Representative
Compton had this matter in charge, bat he
concluded that it would stand better
chance with several similar cases than to
run the gauntlet alone, and therefore Mr.
TAYLOR consented to incorl crate the Mary
land item IN his amendment. When the a.
mendmeuts were presented point OF order
was raised that the caurt Of claims could not
render judgement against the United States
under the Bowman act, and there is no law
authorizing the payment of these claims.
The Chair sustained the point of order, and
in doing so stated that the Court of Claims
was simply authorized to examine the claims
and report their finds TO Congress, and there
fore a special act will have to be passed to
provide for their payment.
