Fighting Randall Over the Rules


Members may protest as much as
they please that no personal signifi.
canoe attaches to the proposed change
of the House rules, but we fear it is
mistake. We confess that it looks
very much as though the whole bust.
ness was inspired by the haters of
Mr.. Randall and the proposition to
change is prosecuted chiefly by his
implacable enemies. Exposed in its
nakedness, it is claimed by some to be
simply mean effort to humiliate one
Of the most loyal Democrats, and,
perhaps, the ablest public man of the
Union; and if so the transaction from
beginning to its present stage is ex.
ceedingly discreditable to those en-
gagged in it. Ifmany ofthe men who
are seeking to degrade Randall pos.
sess one whit of his craftsmanship or
practical sense; ifthey have discoy-
cred one.half Of his courage and pa
triotism, the country has failed to
note the fact-and, excepting a few
personal organs, the Democratic party
places implicit faith in the fealty and
soundness Of Mr. Randall. Il is no
discredit TO Mr.. Randall that the
Washington Post has systematically
and incessantlv subjected him to dis
courtesy and abuse. But it is a con-
summate piece Of assumption for that
journal to impinge the personal or
political integrity OF any Democrat
of high and honorable repute, and it
Is ridiculous pretension for il TO
pose as the organ Of the national
Democracy so long as it continues its
indecent assaults upon the ablest OF
that party's leaders. The most humi.
liating spectacle, however, that is
presented to our sGbseryation, is the
concurrences Of one or two Southern
jouanals, which, suppressing the com.
monest feeling Of humanity and for.
getful of the memorable battle against
their own degradation and enslayer
ment fought and won by Samuel j.
Randall, assist and applaud every
savage and vindictiye thrust made at
the courageous and generous defens
der ofSouthern equality and Anglo.
Saxon superiority. -Lynchburg IVA.

British speculations.

Speculations in England are ad-
verse TO the success Of any plan to
give Ireland q Parliament Of its own.
Il is said that Mr.. Gladstone would
not be able 10 carry out the plan
with which he was credited because
Of the incurable split in bis party.
But there are others who hold that
be will be ableto solidify the Liber.
ais upon any plan he may propose.
Il Is not probable, 10 say the least,
that the Tories will be able to hold
office many months longer. It will
then devolye upon the opposition TO
form a Ministry and il is almost Ger.
tain that Mr.. Gladstone will have to
be invited TO assume this grave re-
sponsibility. There will scarcely be
any other alternative. The Tories
will be almost certain TO be defeated
upon some measure and not neces.
sarily Irish, for England has a COM
plex policy and a great many inter.
ests TO be consulted. The IRISH may
not find il to their interest TO support
the Tories 10 the domestic and
foreign policy, and so q few of the
Parnellites uniting with the Liberals
would drive the Ministry from power.
In that event il would be inevitable
that Mr.. Gladstone should be called
upon 10 form q new Ministry, as he
is the only man in opposition who
could rally the forces and give a
guarantee Of anything like a success,
iul term Of Office.
In the meantime Mr.. Parnell il

There are peculiar customs in con-

but one which strikes the ordinary
observer as the most peculiar Is that
which requires winning party to q

sometimes that not one of the Jurors
