DISSOLUTION AND APPEAL.

The first Parliament elected in the United
Kingdom on the broadcast democratic lines
cones to an end to- day. That it would be
short-,ived was assumed last November on
all sides No competent observer of English
politics was willing to grant it more than
years lease of power. The dissolution itself
was clearly foreseen when the reduced Liberal
majority left Mr.. Parnell master of the situa-
tion. But while AN abortive session and a
speedy appeal to the country were fore
Swallowed in November by every prominent
organ of public opinion, the events of the last
six months have been series Of startling sur
prises which only one man in England could
have anticipated-the disruption of the Liberal
party, the fantastic coalition between Lord
harrington, Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Chamberlain
and Lord Randolph Churchill. and the creation
of pc werful Home Rule party in En- gland and
Scotland.
The completeness of the transformation
wrought during this short and barren session
of Parliament is revealed when the conditions
are cOntrasted under which the electors were
consulted then and are approached now Mr..
Gladstone then appealed for a Liberal majority
large enough TO dispose Of Irish questions with
out the help of the Nationaists. He now stands
for coalition of the Irish and Liberal parties
strong enough to Outvote the Conservatives
and the Liberal malcontents. Lord Salisbury
was then receiving Irish support in the English
borOughs, and while maintaining uubloken
silence respecting coercion and Home Rule was
denOuDcing the "crnde Socialism of MIR.
Chamber aims speeches and frightening timor-
Gus Churchmen with the menace of disestabish-
meut. He is now laboriously explaining his own
threat OF twenty years of coercion, appealing
with passionate intensity to Protestant preiu-
dice and to The anti Irish feeling in England
and eXtolling Mr.. Chamberlain rs a patriotic
knglshman who has made great personal sacri-
fees for the welfare of the Empire. Nr Par
nell was then delivering the Irish vote in Eng
land to the Tories and he is now making per-
sOnal canvass of the great cities on behalf of
Mr.. Gladstone. Mr.. Chamberlain was then
wooing Hodges favor in the rural constituent
cies with seductive promises Of three acres and
a COW and deplOrlng the caution and conservat-
ism of the Liberal leader; and ae is now indlfi-
erent TO the humble lot of the agricultural
laborer and bent only upon carrying Birming-
ham against the "rechiess anc unthinking
Radicalism " of a hot headed Prime Minister.
Lord Randolph Churchill was then intriguing
with the Parnellites and cOntesting Mr. Brght's
seat with the aid of the Primrose League, and he
and Mr. Bright are now on the same side yying

lished in the case of the Democratic Excise
Commissioners, he will not act Mt all. haugh-
ton and Mitchell were accused on evidence that
certainly would have convicted them in court
of law could their case have been taken there.
Yet Mr. Hill referred the matter to "C"mmis-
s,ncr to take Evidence" (cost So OOO) ana
never acted on the Commissioners report.
That was to let Haughton and Mitchell serve
ont their terms and draw their pay. In the case
of General Shaler 1T is proper TO say that be mas

yiction was not obtained. Yet it is SAFE
wager of about million to a cent that the Gov
e,nor will act promptly and uniavorably on
these charges. Note, please, that General
Shaer is Republican.

THE SIITER PROBLFN

SO we must have the silver question Ut
again, in il new and i'll some respects worse
form than ever. On the motion of Mr.. Bland
the unlimited coinage leader. an amendment
was adopted in the House with virtual una
nmty, requiring the issue of small silver notes
in amount representing all the surplus silver
in the Treasury. The adoption of such q
measure, without rious opposition, is evi-
dcncc how sightingly or carelessly the most
import mt business of law-making is now
transacted. 1t is time Congress should 20
home Members have apparently become II
capable of fixing their attention upon anything
except the jobs and the political issues which
affect their personal success.
If the Administration has any supporters in
the House, it Is time for them to bestr them
selves. and to secure separate vote on this
measure. 1t has been part of the distinguish
ing policy Of the Administration to retire
enough small notes to make room for over
$lO.OOO,OOO Of silver IN circulation, and the
fact that the gold reserve of the Treasury has
been maintained during the past year. nOtwith-
standing the purchase OF $4,000, 900 silver. Is
directly due to that feature OF its policy. The
issue Of small silver notes would not only cause
silver notes received BY the Treasury, and a
corresponding reduction IN gold receipts. but
1t would also nave the effect of a serious intla-
ton Of currency, for the small notes have greater
activity and therefore greater effect upon prices
than the notes of larger denominations. The
Secretary has wisely cut down the Issue of
silver certificates, so lat the receipts at New
York have been only about 13 instead of
nearly 30 per cent OF the total receipts. l}y so
doing he has done much to remove grave an
prehensiOns OF the comm .rcial community.
which had caused a large transfer OF gold t,
Europe and restrained all investments. in the
fear of enfo ed silver payments. Whatever
the Administration has accomplished, this
measure would tend TO undo.
temporary initiation of prices is exactly
what the country docs not want. 1t would
restrain exports, already too small in proper
ton to imports. Ii would increase the cost of
living, and particularly the retail charges,
already too high III proportion to wholesale
prices. The increase in cost Of living would
intensity the discomfort of labor, ana increase
the uncertainty which affects all industrial

THE MODERN PROPHET.

The modern prophet is too frequently an mpnl-
sive rash AMI incantious being. Of ola prophets
were generally careful so to wrap up their vatIci-
nations in ambiguous words that at least two and
sometimes several meanings might be gwen to
them This was the regular practice of the ancient
oracles who continually arranging the most
cunning traps for their interrogators IL was very
diff cult to convict an oracle OF giving false predc-
lions. because no matter what happened the mystic
verses could generally be construed rs to appear
60 have foretold it. But our modern prophets take
no such care for the maintenance of their reputa-
lions. They make specific predictions about all
sorts of things and then they come to dreadful
grief because they have provided no means Of
"hedging' The Millerites have long afforded
shockingexam of this kind of reckless prophecy.
but there are people for whom experience seems to
have practical use. and they so on with the
business "a confidently ever.
Here for instance ~ n modern prophet one of
whose ad nirers writes to The TRIBUNE about his
wonderful predictions Now observe how he ex-
poses himself by specific statements and short
dates. Queen Victoria, he says" will be killed IN
this year. PestIlence will reach our shores this
year. pretty safe that, for some case of cholera
or yellow fever can be counted on to reach quaran
tine every YEAR, Strange diseases not known yet
will appear in SS7. "a not very risky prophecy in
asmuch rs the doctors are always giving new names
to old aIlments) In 1887" are told d" there VIII
be war all over the earth. anC what war cannot
destroy earthquakes and pestIence will take away.
There will be heavy earthquakes this year yet, and
heavy tornadoes. In 1857 there will appear a great
comet IN the heavens, and in 1898 there will APP
pear another comet. which will bump on tins earth
and bring water there, where land is now. and
make the earth trembe- This will be the year"
the prophet cheerfully proceeds" when The sea will
pass over New-YOrk CITY. Long Island. and three
parts of jersey Very well, now we can check
this prophet, and we have the comfortable assur-
ance that if we are not all drowned IN 1898 his rep
utation will be completely demolished. Meantime
there Is no probability that the price of real prop
erty in the doomed region will deprecate on
account of our local prophets gloomy announce

EEEPER FOR THE LIMA TIC

After all. the Democrats fall back upon Mr.
Randall to hold the party up by the tail. There
was any quantity Of fuss at the opening of this
session about lis rigid tutOrship in the past.
and the necessity of cmancipatIng the party
from that irksome control. The party declared
its independence and discharged Mr.. Randall,
and determined to go it alone. But now the
party comes back to the old necessity, and
creates a steering committee, consisting of the
Speaker. Mr.. Morrison and Mr.. Randall. to
determine what business shall be done. Evil
IDENTIFY this committee must agree, or the Demo-
crat party can do nothing. The obvious pur-
pose is that no measures shall be proposed,
excepting those on which the committee can
agree. That means that Mr.. Randall is fo.-
maly invited to decide what measure ne is
willing to have the party consider.
If we must have lunatIc about the place, it
is better to have him with keeper The Dem
ocratlc luDatc has been loose for several
months, considerably to his own injury and the
consequences to the public have not been agree
able. 1t is gODd thing that known and tried
keeper is going to be in charge of him again
a keeper who knows how to rule, and how to
suppress even the most violent paroxysms, and
how to use even the whip and the not iron, if
necessary. 1t is a good thing to know that the
unatIc stands in wholesome dread Of this
keeper, and is therefore likely to be kept out of
mischief for the rest of the session.
