Possibly il is true that THESIS concert

by many reputable citizens, who say that the

, NrW COrRT-ROOM NEEDED.

Something ought to be done by the city au-
tholities to provide a new courtroom Tor tnt
General Sessions. There are three Judges ant
oply two court-roOms. One Judge Is unable tt
do ANYTHING tor lack Of room. Hence II
comes about that not only is there delay in
the trial OF cases, but cases OF certain class
sncb as those for violations OF the Excise law,
nc NOT tried ut all Some years ago, when
THE TRIBUNE first investigated this question:
there were found to be more than 5000 m-
tiiel excise cases i'll the pigeoirholes OF the
District AttomCy's Office and of the Clerk ol
the General Sessions Only small percentage
of those cases was ever tiled. AT the present
time thele aIe thousands of such cases await
inc trial in this court. 1t takes the time oil two
Judges to dispose of the jail and Other lmpor-
tant cases, while the business OF this Court Is
necessarily inclt,laing. As n result violatols
of the Excise laws practically escape punish
mont.
Through their influence at Albany the liquor
dealers wear. ago secured the passage of law
fixing tLo bail in excise cases at 500. 1t Is
easy for a hquor-dcs,ler to procure such bail,
and as his case is lever brought up for tilal he
goes on violating the law with impunity If
the Court were PROVIDED Will jill duuiuoih'i
room Il great gain would be made Ill properly
enforcing the Laws. The Judges and the Grand
buies have thlls tar been unable to accomplish
ANYTHING in this matter The Board OF Est-
mate made an appropriation of $4,000 to add
a room to the present building; but as this
would interfere with the Count and the Dis
llict-Auolney for months while the addition
was being made, nothing has been done.
Recorder Smy ia and the DisUict-Attolney have
mged that the Office of the Collector of Take
shOuld be removed from the building. As 1t l.
now the taxpayers are frequently Obliged u
confront criminals VIXEN they pay their taxes.
This ought not to be. For nine months Ill the
yeal the Tax Collector and his large force OF
employees do little except to draw their salaries.
They ought to bc removed to another build

THE CONTEST IN ytyyEssEE

The Republicans of Tennessee are hopeful of
success this year. Notwithstanding the record
Of election frauds in the Solid South. Tennessee
has the largest white Republican vote of all the
Southern States. I his makes it more difficult to
carry into effect the fatal frauds that disgrace
the electoral contests of the South. The STATE
has long been ruled by an imperous ring, at
the head of which is Pan Elt ctric Harris. and
it is apparent from the criticisms of Democratic
newspapers that there is much discomfort IN the
ranks of that party. But what contributes
greater hope to the Republican cause il the
growth of a sentiment in favor of protective
tariff. The State has some eight thousand miles
nnderlnid with mineral coal and vast amount
of rich iron ores. The growth of manufactures
has gwen great Impetus to the progress of the
State. Protection to American industry is not
only popular, but 1t Is seen to be vital to the
development OF the States resources Its in
dnstries are threatened by the tree trade
policy of the Democratic party. This makes it
promising field for the dissemination of pro-
lection ideas.
The tendency of public opinion is In favor of
the Republicans. The Democrats exhibit signs
of alarm. which is encouraging. The division of
strength III tennessee has been gradual be-
coming more equal Tor many years. Without
eIpendng any money and without outside help
the Republicans reduced the Democratic ma
iority from ~, 1872 in 1880 to 9,lsO in 1884.
The Democratic candidate for Governor in the
last election had only o, 1915 majority over his
Republican opponent. This year the Republ-
cans have strong ticket in the field, and four
members of Congress are practically conceded
to them. They want speakers aud assistance
in organizing the State and they ought to have
it. II they can get out their full vote SUCCESS
is assured.

against Home Rule: and that the Opposition
must adopt policy that will gradually convert
what is now minority party into majority
party. This il the view which Mr. Pmnell,
rs his Irish lieutenant, will be expected to
a,opt and. if need be- to enforce by necessary
discipline Mr.. Gladstone, in educating 'he
English people and accustomng them TO the
idea of two Legislatures in a United Kingdom
will also be putting the finishing touches Oh
Mr.. Parncll's Parliamentary training. Ihe
I,ish leader when he is ut the head OF the lIish
Government in Dublin will be as unwilling TO
have the business of an lIish Parliament
blocked by a minority, as the English parties
have been to have their Parliament paralyzed
by Irish obstruction in the past
New-York tribune., 1886-07-19
NO REVIVAL or DESTRUCTION

Mr.. PaInell- position in the new Parliament
is TO be very strange one. He is To be Nj
Glddstone's lieutenant in command of the lush
contingent of the Home Rule party. He Will
remain as heretofore the leader oi the National
lists, but he will not act independently Of the
English parties and will not be a. liberty Lo
have recourse TO She peculiar tactics which
first brought him into notice. Mr. Gladstone
is TO lead the combined Opposition, TO haras,
the Government of the day and to stand for
the principle of Home Rule. If coercion be-
proposed he will oppose 1t and carry a great
force of English members into the lobbie,
against it, If the Conservatives fail in thti
attempts To govern Ireland, he will stand ready
20 revive his legislative projects and to procure
reversal Of the popular verdict rendered
against Home Rdle Nlr. Parncll now rank
with Mr.. Gldstones other snbhtems. He hl,
forced the general in command to adopt nj.
general plan of campaign, but he now valves
his Owp tactics and Is content to follow his
chief
One good result Of this change of political
relations is the abandonment of obstruction
tactics. Our London correspondent, in ye,tcr-
days cable letter, eectually disposed of Mr.
Iabouchere's cl;,mors for tie adoption OF fee
bic minolity's only method of forcing It's views
upon the Commons The minority is now 80
strong that recourse To desperate expcdlcnts
is unnecessary. Mr.. Gladstone viii not tolerate
the revival of obstruction methods. He know,
that nothing would bc gained by blocking the
business OF Parliament that al bitIaIy action
by Il minority which has been fairly beaten be-
fore the countrv ,ynuld only irr,fnfe th. tn.,-
lish people and prejudice them more deeply
