CONCERNING THE TARIFF.

There is q good deal Of quiet work being
done among Congressman by both sides on the
tariff question. Friends of Mr.. Morrison say
he has not abandoned his intention of bringing
up the tariff bill, while those who profess to
know whereof they speak say that Mr.. Randall
will soon begin reporting appropriation bills
from his committee, and keep the House en-
gagged upon them until they are disposed of
These same persons predict that in view of the
uncertain condition of the fences of many
Members of the House, nothing will hold q
quorum after the regular appropriation bills
have been disposed OF, and that, unless Mr..
Morrison acts promptly, he will have to aban-
don the idea Of considering the tariff bill this
session. On the other hand, tariff reformers
agree that they are constantly gaining strength;
that the delay is part Of their program, and
that the tariff question will be brought up as
soon as enough appropriation bills have passed
the House to keep the Senate busy for a while
Neither Mr.. Morrison nor Mr.. Randall will
talk for publication respecting the matter

The figures appended are taken from
the Registrar-General's quarterly re-
burns OF marriages, births and deaths
registered in Ireland for the first
quarter Of this year: There were %. .7G5
births and 27,0l6 deaths registered dur
ing the three months ending March
3lst, and that Ills persons ernigrated,
SO that the population during that
period decreased by 4,425. The popular
ton estimated to the middle Of this
year, 1885, is ASST ,439, showing a de-.
crease of 325, 800 since the union. It is
worthy of remark in the same space Of
tine the population of England has
increased from $500, 1886 to 27.l62,-
449. In Scotland the population in
creased from / sos, $50 in 1901 to 3, ,e66, ,521
in 1884. So that while England has
trebled her population and Scotland
more than doubled hers the population
Of ireland has considerably declined.
Since last year there has been a decrease
i'll the number of w0rkhouse inmates in
Ireland; but there has been remark
able increase in the average number Of
persons on outdoor 1elief, there being
1888 more than during the correspond
ing quarter last year. Compared with
the averages Of the first quarter of the
ten years 1S75-85, the number Of persons
on outdoor relief shows large increase.

the delegates elected Jas. j. Smith as
Grand Marshal OF the day, with the
power to appoint two assistants. There
were fifteen societies represented, and
an invitation was extended to all Cath
olic societies in The city to turn out and
take part in this most interesting event.
The societies will form in two divi-
sions The first division will comprise
all the societies of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, the French
and German societies of North Mime
apolis, and also the societies Of st. An
thony, and will form with the right
resting on Third street and Third ave-
nue. north, at 2:30 p. N. The second
division will comprise the A. o. FL.
and all the societies of South Mime
apolis, and will muster at Window
Hall at o'clock p. M; will thence
proceed, headed by Sidwell's baud, up
Washington to Second avenue north,
up Second avenue north to Third street,
where the division will form with the
right resting on Third street and Sec
,ond avenue north. The societies will
start at 2:30 from the Church OF the
Immaculate Conception, corner Third
street and Third avenue north, down
Third avenue to Washington, down
Washington to Hennepin, down Hen
nepin to Bridge square, up Nicollet to
Tenth street, where tine societies will
take the motor as far as the junction of
Chicago avenue, where they will again
fall in line and march to the grounds.
1t is expected this will be the largest
turnout OF Catholic societies that ever
took place in the city, and as the Or
phans' Home is an institution that in
terests all nationalities, the committee
ask the indulgence of the public press
and all good citizens. The delegates
will meet again On Friday evening at
1880, at Association hall, to hear report
of committees and to complete arrange
ments.4 ..t.:5f=y.
Arrangements have been made with
the motor company for transportation to

Washington avenue and First avenue
south at $40 and p. m, to accommo-
date the general public.
Several young ladies from the differ
ent Sodaity societies will have immedi-
ate supervision of the refreshment tables
that may be necessary for the occasion.

Considerable opposition to this is Of
fered by the Tory caucuses. In many
places the Tories and Wings, so long
opposed to each other, have been un-
able to reconcile their differences at the
bidding of their chiefs, and remain at
daggers drawn. Means will be found

ton, an accomplished fact, and the ORR

THE SUDDEN CHANGE
in the situation has been brought
about by Gladstone's progress through
the country. His reception at Man
chester last week did more to determine
the compact than anything else. It
was a revelation of the premier's per-
sonal influence little expected blythe
Tories. Out of the six sections of the
district no fewer than five were cap
tured by the Tories with the assistance
of the Parnellites at the last general
election. With so overwhelming ma
jority against, him it was supposed
Gladstone's visit would be an igno-
minious failure. Instead Of that the
masses turned out to meet him IN tens
OF thousands, and gave him an ovation
such as no politician had before re-
ceiyed. TO witness his departure, the
streets. were absolutely lined with
cheering multjtudes. Judging from
the demonstration the result Of the last
ministerial appeal to the electors OF
Manchester is about to be reversed. At
Manchester as high as &lO cash were
paid for single seats to hear him speak.
Gladstone repudiates by letter John
Bright's version of mis- political views,
and avows that fifteen years ago he
held the views that led to his adoption
OF the principles OF home rule embod-
led in the bill defeated by the Tory
Whig Radical alliance. Churchills de-
nuuciation Of Ciladstone's s measures as
infamous, cowardly, atrocious, and so
on is condemned by the press as utterly

man are recalled, and he is dubbed the
