HOME RUE A CERTAINTY

The defeat of Mr.. Gladstone is not
the defeat of the cause he represents.
When the tide is rising the waves rush
mn the sand and then fall back. The
backward movement is simply a part OF
the general rise. Partisans may throw
their hats in the air as the water recedes,
but the tide is rising nevertheless. The
present situation in England is only a
depressing incident in the history OF In
evitable progress toward Home Rule.
The Unionists may shout themselves
boarse if they please. They mistake
the undertow for a falling tide.
The New York Herald's letters by the
Mackay. Bennett cable throw a kind OF
calcium light on the general darkness;
"Ireland seems to be o%verthrown, but
she. is not overcome. She sometimes re-
treats, but she has never surrendered
'She can afford to watt as Mr.. Nc
earthly says, still a little longer For
the present she is the victim OF the In
ternal d~issensions of the Liberal party,
composed largely of her friends. 1t has
violently torn itself asunder, and now
consists of nothing but w~rangling frag.
ments. It will have no influence in the
new House of Commons until its disput.
ing members reunite; and as Home Rule
in some shape is the only possible plat
form on which it can ever hope to unite,
these ~dissidents, who are more petulant
than patriotic, will sooner or later return
to the shelter of Mr.. Gladstone's UNI
brella. He alone has the idea to which
the people are being educated. He alone
has found a tentative solution OF the
problem which must be settled before
England can have peace"
In America for generations the ques.
ton Of slavery was in the air. 1t made
us nervous and restless. 1t was in Con-
gress, in State Legislatures, in the pulpit
and in every private conversation. 1t
was a Banquo ghost which would not
"down." At last we met it squarely,
and by the arbitrament of war it was
settled. Now we are a happy and con.
tented people. The bone of contention
has been exsected and gotten out OF the
way. Ireland in like manner is the u
rest of England. Without the arbitra.
ment of war-our heartrending fate
she can reach a conclusion. Wales has
spoken in this campaign, and for Home
Rule. Sturdy Scotland has spoken, and
Mr.. Goschen'has failed of election. Only
England remains obstinate, and by a very
slender majority. Scotland, Wales, Ire
land call for justice; a little more than
one.half of England refuses it. So the
matter stands. Is that defeat? On the
contrary. this election has demonstrated
that Home Rule is a certainty.

Prohibition in Iowa is having a hard
road to travel. Some time ago the
Circuit Court of the United States in
that State decided that breweries in ex.
istence when the Prohibition law was
passed could not be stopped without com-
pensation to their owners; and now we
hear of another ruling by the same
court, that drinking saloons are likewise
entitled to protection. They are prop.
erty which cannot be rendered useless
without compensation.

PUT THE BILL THROUGH.
Passage by the House of Hoar's Success
sinn PtI1

Passage by the House of Hoar's Success
sion Bill.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. ls-Brushing
aside private bills and all other business, the
house resumed the discussion Of the success
sion bill soon aftsr the reading of the jour
nal Friday morning, and remained in sas-
sion until 10 O'Clock, when the bill was
passed pres isely in the form in which it
came from the senate. That was the policy
OF the Democratic leaders, although they adj
mitted that the bill did not fully provide
for probable contingencies, and might
prove an awkward substitute under certain
circumstances for the existing statute on
that subject The Democrats stood wcll to
gether under the leadership of Caldwell OF
Tennessee, ara voted down all amendments,
and even the substitutes offered by Mckin-
ley of Ohio. which many of them approved.
The Mckinley substitute provided Tor the
meeting of congress- on the 18th of March, so
there might always be president pro TEN.
of the senate or speaker of the house The
policy of considerable number
of the Republicans, as indicated
by the proceedings Friday, AMI as
stated privately by Republican repre-
sentative, was TO eInend the bill so that il
must Re returned for action by the senate,
where it was believed that there had been
change Of sentiment since the bill was
passed that would probably result in indef-
mite delay and finally the addition of still
more amendments, 50 that when it returned
to the house late in the session the chance of
agreement upon any plan of succession
would be very slight This would leave
John Sherman heir apparent t. the presi-
dency, st least until the last month of the
current year.
When the final vote was taken by division
only q members voted against the bill to
Is5 in favor of it Two Democrats-Ben-
nett of North Carolina, and Green of New
Jersey-voted against the bill, and IS Re-
publicans in favor of it OF the Illinois
delegation, Payson, Lawler, Durham, Hen
derson and Landes were absent; Townshend,
Ward, Hit Worthiugton, Morrison, Neece,
Riggs, Springer and Eden voted affirm
atively, and Cannon, Hopkins, Plumb,

tive Curtin's resignation of the chairman
ship of the committee OH banking and cur
rency does not release him from member
ship of that committee. 1t simply trans
fers him from the head 20 the foot OF the
list, even below the Republican members.
The ex-governor made the mistake of ask
ing to oe sselsed from service at the head
Of the committee, instead Of saying from
service 90 tia. comhiittes Mfr Hewist's
account of what occurred between himself
and Mr.. Curtin, In respect to resigning his
place on the naval committee in favor ct
Curtin, is that he suggested to Curtin that
bis (Hewitt's) health would not warrant him
in undertaking to serve on both the COM
mittees on ways and means and on naval
affairs
