unwilling To aCCede 10 the demands fhat
Parnell makes though recent dispatches
hint that salisbury and hIs party may
turn face and conclude TO yield every point
within reason that is asked.
But one thing can induce the Tory party
to make such "a complete change o., posi-
ton, and that the desire 10 steal
from the Liberals their hoped fer
thunder" ON the "Home Rule ~
question. OF one thing the Irish
may be assured, and that is, if the leaders
of the Tories grant any measure that even
smacks of Irish control of Irish affairs, IL
will be not because Of any new love for
Ireland, or any change OF mind on the
question at issue, but because he is not vii!

bury and Gladstone is now sharply defined
and tn interest cen'eriug in II Is not less
keen than was manifested nhen Gladstone
stood as the leader Of the Liberals and
Disraeli controlled the policy of the Tories.
Parnell we believe, will do better to join
forces with Gladstone than to make an al
lance with Salisbury, for he, more than
any other English publiCist, Is competent
TO bring order out Of the present chaotic
condition of English Irish affairs.
The eminent critic, John Ruskin, has
recently written in behalf of the Irish,
suggesting that the government consider
the virtues and peculiarities OF that people
before arranging scheme for managing
them. He says the Irish people are witty
and atTectipnate, and that the witless and
heartless cannot govern them. The publ
cation of this article has engendered and
called forth some very unseemly personal
tiles. Earl Grey, one of the oldest Eng !
lish peers, is notably bitter--urging that
there be established strong COVE nm mt
in Ireland that will promptly punish acts |
of insubOrdinntiOn and outrage, and admin |
lister Irish affairs in the interest of the
United Kingdom"
Not less denuncatory is Earl Cowper,-
some years ago Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
who iutimuteS in the broadcast terms that
parnell's personal ambition and interests
are M the bottom of the Irish trouble, and |
that but for them there need be nOditlicul |

He believes the Parnellites should give up
a further agitation Of ultra Home Rule,
and accept in lieu of it an ameliOration OF
the distresses of the people arising from
the rental system in vogue, stating that the
mass of the Irish people do not care for
Home Rule, except in so far as it would |
relieve their present poverty stricken con
iition, and that such condition arises from
an unwi-e and ill-adjuSt system of rent,
and not from lack of voice in the coun-
try's local government.

BY proclamation issued In England
and India, Burmah Is now annexed to and
portion of the British Empire. The
proclamation states that the territories for
merly governed by King Thebaw will no
longer be under his rule, but are portion
OF the dominions of the Queen OF Great
Britain and Ireland and Empress of India,
and that the government will be admins
tered during her majesty's pleasure by of.
tcers appointed by the Niceroy Of India.
The acquisition of Burmah, without
more than the mere presence of the mill.
tary, Is a very notable event In the history
of the present English government, and
should strengthen the present Premier
with the English people. BY this aggres-
sion English authority Is recognized by
more than three million additional sub.
jects, and English territory increased by
the annexation of more than two hundred
thousand square miles of country rich ia
the product of its soil and abundance of il
resources, The change of dominion will
be not less beneficial To Burmah than pro
titable TO Great Britain. The rule of The
baw was but prolonged debauch, in nc
wise beneficial 10 the public good, but In
every respect detrimental. His whole
reign was but a prolonged carnival OF
crime committed by his order and for hi,

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Dec TO- Under orders
of abatement issued by the clerk of the
courts, amended in accordance with the per-
emptory directions given by Judge Lewis last
Saturday, Sheriff Mcdonald, aided by sew
eral deputies, has seized and closed nineteen
saloons, or places that have been saloons.
The sheriff is going on with the work, and
says he will execute every order and destroy
all the liquor seized. This is great tri-
umph for the law and order league, and its
officers feel elated. while the saloonists are
correspondingly depressed. There was no
resistance, threats of violence, or excitement
in the city. Among some of the owners of
saloons that have been closed are Sherman,
Piath, and George Treiber, who are under
Indictment for conspiracy in the murder of
Dr. Haddock Several saloons are yet in full
blast, and the fight goes on.
