MUCH SURPRISED

Trevelyan's much more There Is an in
teresting puzzle In the situation that COM
pels Lord Harrington to decline Office in
a cabinet in which Trevelyan and himself
are able TO enter. The solution probably is
that Gladstone in Offering Offices
to his colleagues absIaided from
all exposition OF his Irish policy.
Lord Hartington's position in the party
entitled him to ask for explanations. which
proved insufficient to salty his scruples.
Chamberlain's friends say That his connec-
lion with this ministry binds him to moth
ing now. but gives him free hand In the
local questions he cares most for.
Gladstone's address to the MiolothIans
hrows little light on all this
obscurity and apparently was meant to
throw none. II is a masterpiece Of in
genius unintelligibility. A single point
stands out. There is To be an inquiry
into the condition of Ireland before am
proposal for legislation is made. More

THE SUCCESSION

trouble may be expected. Parnell stands
pledged TO insist on precedence for home
rule. Every ParnelIite organ protests
against postponement on any pretext I'm
less Parnell gives way this is the rock on
which the coalition will split or the
cabinet go to pieces. This, too,
helps to explain Chamberlain's pres
ence In the cabinet. He does not
want home rule but he does want to deal
with the land. Other cabinet appointments
have little or no bearing on Irish questions,
though dissertations signify much. Ii Is
the Irish question which keeps out, besides

Of the other officers Is almost &C.
centric. Sir William Harcourt has
his apprenticeship to finance to serve

Lord Ripon is without experience in ad-

tary, revives traditions of neglect and
alienation of colonies. Lord Kimberly Is
not more than a respectable secretary

A New Industry for Napoleon.

Parties from Wauseon have made all neces-
sary arrangements for the establishment
here of an oar factory, and there buildings
are already being erected near the saw mill
of A. ]. Saygers. This factory will bring
into market large amount of white ash
timber, which has heretofore almost went
begging, as we understand the company will
buy all of this class of timber brought to
them and pay fair price for it. We hope
the new enterprise will prove remunerative
to the projectors and also that it may prove
a benefit to our town, which it surely will.
May it be the means of bringing other manu-
featuring to Napoleon, one of the best towns
on the Maumee.

A Serious Accident.

Ed. NoBTHwEsr:-Mr. Eugene Connolly, a
young man about II years of age, son of
Michael Connolly, of Washington township,
in company with another young man, about
the same age, by the name of O'Hearn,
familliary called Button" were out on "a
lark" last Sunday and came to Liberty about
8 O'Clock in the evening. The boys had both
been partaking rather freely of "benzine"
and had drove their horse beyond his endur-
ance, and were consequently taken in charge
by the village authoritses, and for some rea-
son young Connolly was released and start
ed for home, but seeing freight train
standing on the side track he boarded it and
in attempting to jump off of it at Cotton,
while in motion, was thrown in such man
ner as to have the great toe severed from the
left foot, and the right one so badly cut and
crushed as to fear its amputation will be
necessary. This is another warning against
the too free use of "tangle-foot." SCRIBE.
