ACCORDING to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it

ACCORDING to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it
was Republican money that bought the cleo
ton on Monday. It says:
''There was money enough not only to keep
working Republicans in line but to pay fancy
prices for the corruption of those whose duty
it was to work for the Democratic candidates.
Democratic executive committeeman were
bribed to destroy their tickets, and many of
the precincts were without Democratic tickets.
In the First, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth wards
indeed, to some extent in nearly every ward
Democratic workers threw up their tickets
and accepted Republican money"
This reminds us of the plea of the Sentinel,
of this city, that the Democrats Of Indiana
were purchased by the thousands, in 1880, at
two dollars apiece. If Democratic newspapers
are to be credited, their party is made up of a
nice lot of people, who will sell themselves at
that figure. Can a party, whose voting bulk
is made out of this corruptible material, posi-
bly, be trusted with the administration of
government, either local, State or nationalg
1t would seem not. It is irretrievably, incor-
rightly bad and rotten, taking it at its own
estimate.

LONDON, April THE various whips have
arranged with the members of their parties for
the postponement until Friday of all questions
which were to have been brought up in the
House of Commons tomorrow, except those Of
the most pressing Importance. In thus curtail-
ing the business Of the House, Mr.. Gladstone
will be enabled to begin his speech in explana-
ton of his Irish home-rule scheme at about half
past in the afternoon. The usual body Of
police stationed about the Parliament
buildings will be strongly reinforced.
to suppress any demonstration that
may be attempted outside the buildings.
Irishmen living in London have been requested
to assemble tomorrow to cheer Mr.. Gladstone
as he enters Parliament A similar Liberal
manifestation is expected. Urgent whips
have been issued requesting the presence of all
members in the House Of Commons tomorrow
and on Friday. The House will be opened at q
A. NJ, tomorrow, to enable members to secure
seats. The opening of the House at so early an
hour is commented upon adversely. on the
ground that it places a premium on physical en-
durance, and handicaps invalid and weaker
members. The Parnellites, at a meeting to-day,
decided to enter the House at the earliest posi-
BILE hour, in order to secure seats.

reasons for the visit. He said the Presbyterians
OF Ulster were in deep anxiety lest Parliament
should adopt legislation which would place the

advantage by handing over the control of the
affairs of the country to a party distinctively
anti-Protestant The deputation spoke In the

CHAUNcEY M. DEpEw, president Of the
New York Central Railway Company, favors
laws for State and national arbitration; but he
does not favor any plan whereby the result of
the award can be legally enforced. The value
of the arbitration is in its entirely voluntary
character. He says: ''You have the whole
power of the State and general government
behind a board of arbitration to enforce law
and order, and public opinion to enforce it's
judgments" That is the sound position.

CINCINNATI has a new weekly publication,
entitled, The Weather Journal The field it ex-
poets to cover is sufficiently indicated in its title.
1t Is singularly ingenious. and in it's very first
editorial paragraph says: Don't pin your faith
30 weather prophets" The inference is that if
you do, it may come unpinned. In the fourth
paragraph it expresses a desire to hear from all
Western friends. There are a good many West
ern people who would like to let the Weather
Journal hear from them. and especially this
week, when the Weather Bureau, Of which the
Journal is the organ, predicted fair, warmer
weather" for Tuesday, when in fact that day was
one of the most atrocious ever seen. So far
from it being fair and warmer, 1t was colder,
and the snow did not cease falling for a minute.
A suffering public would like to get a whack at
the responsible party, and if the Weather Jour
nal Is willing to assume the pressure, it may as
well prepare for a very extended and very ener-
getic correspondence. The official weather
prophet has played the public some very bad
tricks, and a settlement for the same would be
very desirable. This publication has one item
that is always seasonable, and one that will do
for all kinds of weather, in which it takes occa-
sion to remark that 'now is the time to sub
scribe" 1t is by no means an original remark,
but it is a mighty true one.
