ULSTER dkU IRELAND.

The parallel between Ulster and West Nir
giria drawn by Mr.. Chamberlain IN yester-
dav's cable letter to THE TRIBUNE is de-
fectiye He argues that the aPrOtestants
of the North of Ireland have the same
right to claim a separate autonomy which
the UnioDists of that State maintained in sepa-
rating from Virginia In order to make the
parallel true in its essential conditions, he mnst
assume a state of military insuirection in Ire
land against the United Kingdom, which does
not exist. If in place of constitutional agta-
ton in favor of a separate Parliament, which
has finally enlisted the support OF the Govern
ment OF the day in England, Ireland had re-
beled and establish ed a Con grcss of its own, the
parallel wOnld hold good. If the British Gov
ernment in quelng the rebellion should first
occupy Ulster and then sanction its separation
from the other three provinces as Il war meas
ure, the case of West Virginia would be repro
duced. AS it is, comparisons between the Pro-
testants of Northern Ireland and the Unionists of
Kentucky and Tennessee are forced. Military
rebellion is one thing; a constitutional move
ment in favor Of legislative autonomy is
another.
Another mistake which Mr.. Chamberlain ap-
parently makes is in referring to Ulster as
united in its opposition to a Dublin Parlia-
ment A majority of the counties in the
Northern province elected Nationalist MEM
prrs last Nov ember. In only three counties are
the Nationalsts in minority and in only one
is there IL solid dele eyation against them. The
Roman Catholics, forming nearly one-half OF
TIE population of Ulster, are in full accord with
the political aspirations of the other provinces,
and there is formidable body of Protestant
Nntionalists under Mr.. Parnell's leadership.
When Mr. Chamberlain encourages, as he
comes very near doing, the Loyalists of that
province to take arms against a Dublin Parla-
ment, he is instigating civil war, not only in
Ireland but in Ulster itself. Ulster is a house
hopelessly divided against itself on this ques-
ton of Home Rule.

An EXTRAORDINARY S"LLL OF UEATHER

An EXTRAORDINARY S"LLL or WE1THER
Science has done something with the weather
1t is by no means the unknown quantity or
nualiiy that it once was Where were uncer-
taintes are now more or less trustworthy
probabilities" All the same, the weather re-
mains a puzzle, perhaps more battling at one
time than another, but always a puzzle (;
always something that it is not safe to bet OI..
As it was in the beginning, is nOw-@ the wind
"bloweth where it listeth ard thou nearest the
"sound thereof but canst not tell whence it
"cometh or whittier it gocth.'
Lately both the old world and the new have
experienced extraordinary, unexpected and
direfu weather. The cyclone has reasserted
itself much earlier than usual in the year. in
some quarters not before visited and with great
violence. A few days ago Kansas City was the
victim. Now it is Xenia. In both instances the
loss of life and property was very serious. Only
less calamitOus have been the storms that have
ragged in Indiana and Illinois. Wind, rain, hail,
lightning, have between them wrought great
damage. Bridges have been washed away,
buildings OyerthrOwn, ciOps injured. Several
persons have been killed by lightning Tele
grams from Pittsburg and Cleveland report big
storms at those points with indications that the
Missouri tornado is making for the Atlantic
coast And while our own wires come heavily
laden with such weather reports, the cable
brings word of a terrible uricane in Spain. In
Madril alone seventy persons are said to have
been killed and 900 wounded. And there is
reason to apprchend that the destruction
wrought in the provinces was proportionately
large.
Such, 10 brief, is the sort of weather by
which the merry month of May has cele-
brated her return to the throne of the year. In
the course of the summer we shall have the
scientific explanation of the meteorological dis
turbances which have proved 50 disastrous. In
the meantime the unscientIic general public
hereabouts will fall to wondering whether the
East is not to be scouIged by the tornado some
of these days. Science says not, but then even
the weather bureau sometimes promises
weather that fails to arrive on schedule time.

NICHOLAS H1UGHTON AGAINf

The Assembly yesterday voted to give the
appointment of the Excise Commissioners TO
President Mooney of the Board of Aldermen.
This cannot be justified. Mr.. Mooney was not
elected by the voters of the city for any such
purpose, nor has he ever shown the possession
of qualities that would fit him for such trust.
There might be no improprety in committing
the selection of the commissioners to the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, which is
made up of the Mayor, the Controller, the
President of the Tax Departmentand the Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen. In that case
Mr.. Mooney would have one OF four votes In
making up the Excise Board, which is quite
enough for him. President Coleman and Con-
troller Loew enjoy the confidence OF the COM
munty and would vote for honorable citizens.
A report is abroad among the politicians
which seems Incredible. 1t is that a deal "
has been made with Mr.. Mooney by which he is
to appoint one Republican Commissioner and
one Tammany Democrats that the third nan
is to come from Irving Hall, and that Nicholas
Haughton is to be the man. This seems too
gross and Infamous for belief, but it is the COM
mon report now in the political groups of the
city. Haughton's record IN the Excise Board is
detestable. Any man who enters into bargain
% give him second term is as worthy of
stay in Sing Sing prison as is any Alderman OF
the Board of 1854.

COLLAPSE or NNIS.

The formation of q new Greek Ministry will
be speedily followed by disarmament. The
| Chamber will have to be consulted, and when
this policy has been sanctioned, tie present
Ministry will probably give place to another
and more stable Government. Delyanns per-
sisted to the end in refusing to accept response
biiy for his acts. He would not issue orders
for disarmament nor convoke the Chamber.
He wal tied until the Greek ports were block
AIDED by the European feet, and after final
effort 10 induce the King to intervene so as TO
furnish him with a plea of submitting under
royal cOmpulsion, he abruptly resigned. Seldom
has a Prime Minister quilted Office under such
discreditablo circumstances.
1t may be urged that Delyannis was un-
fortunate rather than unskilful in his
diplomacy. As the representative of the war
party he was supported by public opinion and
adopted a vigorous policy which appealed to
national pride and race aspirations. The East
ern complications of recent years have been d
diplomatic lottery in which Greece has invari-
ably drawn blank. The war party contended
with great force that the kin gdom aust be less
dependent upon European charity, more yigi
liant i'm watching the diplomatic game and more
venturesome in taking advantage OF the
chances of war. When Servia invaded But
garia, Greece acted upon the theory that Prince
Alexander would be defeated. This was mis-
calculation, but no wel-informed statesman III
Europe could have forecast the issue of that
conflict. There was a secret understanding be-
tween Greece and Serva ana the maritime
Kingdom began to arm in the expectation that
the prizes of diplomacy would fall to those who
4 tad Il f..t Of
the Servian army upset these well-laid plans.
Greece was then forced to face new and
surprising situation. An undivided Bulgaria,
with the prestige OF brilliant military successes,
was at once invested with great pOtentialities
in the future of the Balkan peninsula. In the
collapse of the Ottoman Empire in Europe,
which could not be deferred ve y long, Prince
Alexander would have the strongest claims
upon European support as the heir to COnstan-
tinople. Greece, which has ambitions in the

THE CLERGY AvD THE LABOR QUESTION.
Public Opinon of Washington has asked one hun
dred clergvmen representing all the Christian de-
nominations to give their opinions upon the ques-
tion What is the proper relation of the pulpit 10
the labor question: And In its last issue 1t prints
in full number of the replies it has received AS
might be expected, these replies traverse great
deal OF old ground and state many axomatlc
truths which outside of lunatic asylum OF
an Anarchists meeting would ever think OF deny
ing That both capital and labor have rights, that
these rights are constantly in danger of being over
looked or ignored, that capital and labor should
work in harmony and that every one wouid be
much happier If the Golden Rule was universally
observed are facts which it would need great deal
of eoauence to make starclIng But sm'ly 10
state them as desirable things either in pulplt or
newspaper WILL it is to be feared, do little to set
tie the labor question.
The truth is. and these ministerial opinions bring
1t out clearly. neither the pulpit nor tho pew
knows inst how 20 solve the problem of capital and
labor. AS the Rev. ii. w. Thomas, OF Chicago
saws: "Our labor troubles are comparatively new
I'D the economic experience of our country we
are feeling our way along with such knowledge
and experience as we have trusting that time and
the better thought and feeling of both capitalists
and laborers will lead to a wise and peaceful solu-
non of the troubles and even perlls, through which
our country is passing 1t is perhaps hardly fair
TO expect the clergy to sOve an economic problem
which has thus far baiflcd the wisdom even OF
political economists. But the Clergy see clearly
that il IS a problem that they ought to solve and
which they must solve If they are to do their whole
duty AS Christian teachers. 1t is not strange
therefore that some of them advocate the estab-
hshment of chairs of sociology in theological semi
naries. knowledge of the historic theology OF
the Church is very desirable, they say. but knowl-
edge of the questions tina. confront the preacher
today is oven more desirable. 1t may be well to
know the ralying cries of the men OF the irst CEN
fury: but it is far more important to know the
ralyinc cries of the med of the nineteenth cen-
tury.
There seems to be practical value in this sug-
gcstion and it is to be hoped that the young clergy
will devote themselves to the study of the social
aud economic questions of the day. For after all
they are to preach not to first century or medeyal
sinners, but to nineteenth century sinners

THAT SHATTERED BUFFALO FRIENDSHIP.

THAT SHATTERED BUFF1LO FRIENDSHIP.
The TRIBUNE lately called the attention of its
readers to the too, TOO painful rnmor vouched for
by leading Buffalo newspaper, that 1t had come to
pass that Grover Cleveland and ID. n. Lockwo
never spoke as they passed by. Considering the
past loving relations of these two favorite sons of
Buffalo. the announcement OF their separation
affected the politicians who heard the sad news
much as the general public Of other days would
have been affected on learning that Hero had given
Leander the cut direct no came dripping to her
bower from the Helespont. or that William II.
Seward had organized boy cott against Thurlo W
Weed.
Consequently we felt moved to invite The Buffalo
