THE DEFEAT OF HOME RULE.

It is useless to speculate on the effect
of the defeat of Gladstone in the House
of Commons. In what may be called q
full house (only eighteen members were
absent)the home rule bill received only 311
votes. while the opposition mustered 81
votes. The opposition vote represented
the Conservatives, the boiling Wings
under Harrington, and the Radicals
under Chamberlain. while the Govern
ment vote represented the Gladstone
Liberals and the Parnellites. If the
elghty-slx Parnelhtes were present and
voting, then only 225 Liberals voted
for the homs-rule bill nearly hundred
voted against it.
Mr.. Gladstone, it was stated, could
have saved his party from defeat if he
had consented to q compromise under
which the home-rule- bill. would he
dropped until the autumn session. Under
the rule the present session would have
ended in July or August, and by the
Propagation all bills not passed during a
session fall to the ground. Mr.. Glad
stone was willing to say that the bill
would not be pressed after the second
reading, but he would give no pledges as
! to the bill to be introduced at the autumn
session. " ~ = .,."~.
Fearing : the growth of . sentiment
favorable to hsme rule, the opponents OF
the bill determined to make the fight this
session instead Of next. Mr.. Gladstone,
In standing by what he believed to be
right. has. in the interest of Ireland, suf-
fered the heaviest defeat of his life.
When he was defeated in 1874 the major
ity against him was small, and when he
| resigned in 1885 there was really no
majority against him. When he made
the fight for Ireland in 1874 the Irish
members turned against him. When he

own party turned against him
Two courses are open The govern
ment may resign and coalition ministry
may be formed under Hartington and
attempt to manage the present Parlia-
ment, Of Parliament may be dissolved and
new election ordered. The latter
course will take the question Of home
rule squarely before the country, and, If
defeated in such an election, Mr.. Glad
stones political career will be at an end.
But defeat in such a. cause will be bet
ter for him than victory for those who
oppose llm =sz.sa,4 es
It may be assumed that Ireland after
this will not be satisfied with less than
Mr.. Gladstone offered. The next cleo
ton will be only the beginning Of new
struggle, in which the opponents Of
home rule will fight in narrowing cir

A DAY or two of steady rain will
help the wheat crop in some portions of
Minnesota and Dakota very materially,
The reports this morning indicate decided
injury in Southern Minnesota and in the
Devils Lake region Of Dakota. Such
weather as was experienced yesterday
would IN week have very serious effects
upon the crops. In the best wheat district
of England, from Somersetshire to Nor
folk, the weather has been too wet and
cold, and the wheat is lsosing color and
form. As Scottish millers work on the
roller system, the trade in hard Min
nesota and Dakota wheat is fair, as it is
used by them to the exclusion of other
American varieties; and this demand Is
likely to increase with q short English
crop and probable failure in the crop
in Southern Russia.-Ptonser Press,

A Portrait OfHenry Clay.

Mr.. Clay was tall and broad shoul-
dered without being bulky or heshy, and
when at all excited was of stately and
commanding presence. Though his
long limbs were loosely put together, yet
his manner was zcithcr awkward nor un-
couth, nor even embarrassed; on tho
contrary, it was easy and natural, and
wholly unprctentious-it was the easy,
nonchalant air OF man accustomed to
the ways of the world, and conscious
that he was at least the peer of the FORE
most in every crowd in which he hap
pencd to be. Indeed, my own opin-
lUu Is that lie was mover III the slightest
degree, even in his carly youth, awed by
the presence OF any one; he never
seemed to feel, and my belief is he lever
felt, that he was ever at any time in the
presence OF any one superior to himself.
And therefore he was not only striking
ly at case, but at home wherever he was.
whether among his ncighbors or stran-
gers, whether at social gathering or at
the bar, or as the speaker of the House
of Representatives or on the floor of the
Senate; and in my judgment he would
have felt equally at home at conference
of kings and emperors. lie seemed to
have not only an instructive conscious.
ness of his own strength, but of his own
special capacity for leadership. There
fore he would take the lead to himself
rs if unconsciously, whatever the occa-
sion, and as naturally and as gracefully
asif it were his birthright; and few
there were, If any, who ever seemed to
TO be surprised that he had taken the
place for which nature seemed to have
designed him. Indeed, without any ap-
pearance of sclf-asscrtion on his part,
and as if unconsciously to himself, there
was n something in his presence and his
manner that gave to him an authoritivc
air, and made him for the tim, the GEN.
tral, the commanding figure of the
group about him. - Century.

Flowers Used in Candies.

Vio!cts and roses, the New York Mail
and Erprcss says, have been for long
while the most popular and fashionable
flowers that are worn and have been
used for number of purposes, among
them being table decorations at we'd
dings, funerals, as bouquets and bouton-
nicres, and when initiated as decorations
for hats and bonncts. One OF their
latest uses an one that is just now very
popular is as candy that is eaten after
dinner at dessert. The violets and rose
leaves are candicd and prepared so
nicely chat when lying on dish they
look perfectly natural. The violet is
taken just as it grows and is encascd in
fine coating of sugar that preserves the
violet and at the same time makes candy
of it. The flower is just what one would
expect these to be in violet, and the
sugar makes it little rich. The French
arc the chief manufacturers of these
luxuries and guard their secret very well.
Those that are sold in this city are
mostly imported and consequently are
very expensive, selling at So 50a pound.
They arc very light in weight and it
takes n great many to weigh pound.
The roses are not prepared in quite the
same way. They are first picked to
pieces, and then each leaf is prepared
separately. A dish of violcts with
white, red and yellow rose leaves mixed
in ON table looks very pretty
