THE BAY STATE SENATOR'S ALL RIGHT.
Boston Journal.
The story to the effect that the MasSachu-
sets Senators are not opposed to Mr.. Pills
bury has at length been killed for good. 1t
has been sufficiently strangled to end an or
binary falsehood several times, but it has
been reSuscltated so many times, both here
and at Washington, that many people be-
leyed that there was something in it,
ONLY DIsCHARGING IT'S DUTIES.
Hartford Courant
Occasionally we find newspapers which
should know better, complaining OF Senator
Edmunds, or Senator Sherman, or perhaps
the Republican Senators generally as trying
to ''pick up quarrel with the President.
What childish nonsense! The SENATE IS
quietly, in a perfectly unsensatlonal, Dusl,
nesslike way discharging the dutles imposed
upon it by the constitution. 1t has treated
the President with all the respect and con-
sideration due to his high office, and 1t will,
we are sure, continue to do SO. Ii there is
any quarrel it will not be OF the Senate's
seeking, nor will it be the Senate's fault if
the President gets himself into trouble pres
emily by listening to bad advice.

stole 100000 of the peoples money, but his
heart beat warmly for the sacred cause of re-
FORM and he helped to elect Governor Cleve-
land and Lieutenant-G Governor HILL The
courts, however, decided that Bork was rath-
Ell too impetuous to run at large, and he was
accordingly sentenced to a long term in the
penitentiary. He was pardoned out the 9TH
er day by Gov. Hill, and it is announced with
a good deal of unnecessary emphasis that
President Cleveland urged his release both
personally and by letter. How well this
pardon suits the people whose money Bork
stole is indicated by the remark of the Bnffa-
10 Courier, the Presidents home organ, that
it deeply regrets that the prosecution did or
left undone anything that could be regarded
as justification for the pardon; - all of
which is respectfully submitted to show that
the comedy of reform has too much of the
tragic element in it to enjoy any very long
run.

the PROSPECT OF HOME RULE,

The Galway incident shows that Mr. Parnell
has not yet lost any of the confidence which
the Irish people have reposed in him. He
is still their leader or, more correctly, their
dictator. The Nationalist are still willing
to yield implicit obedience to his will, feeling
that he will direct their steps wisely and en-
able them to reach, if anybody can, the goal
of their aspiration, home rule. Mr.. Par
nelPs speech shows that he is sanguine that
in the near future Ireland will enjoy Par
lament of her own, empowered to deal with
all matters of local concern. The grounds
of his confidence he does not give, bat he Is
too prudent and cautious man to indulge In
prediction of such moment without strong
reason for believing that it will be fulfilled.
Besides Mr.. Parnells confident assurance
there are other signs that the cause of home
rule is making progress. The utterances of
Mr.. Morley, secretary for Ireland, to the
Newcastle electors denounced coercion and
lntlmated pretty plainly that the government
was prepared to suggest radical measures in
quite the opposite direction to cure the
trouble IN Ireland. Mr.. Morley represents
the goyernment,and his speech was undoubt-
edly an authorized foreshadowing of the mol
icy contemplated by MI. Gladstone.
Mr.. Morleys colleague too at notable
gathering in London on Wednesday, gave
utterance to strong home rule sentiments.
While opposed to any measure that would
jeopardize the union, he believed in giving
to the Irish people self-government in its
broadcast sense, and this he contended could
only be done by the formation of an Irish
parliament.
A few weeks age, when it was announced
that Mr.. Gladstone was formulating a scheme
for the government of Ireland that involved
the concession of home rule, such a storm of
opposition arose that Gladstone, himself,
was apparently, for time, forced to aban-
don it. Now the question Of an Irish parlia-
ment is coolly discussed all over the kingdom,
and statement of the Secretary for Ireland,
tantamount to a declaration that the govern

sion would have improved the book, but
this is a matter of taste. Many readers pre-
fer story which is minute in its descrip-
tions of places, and records animated con-
versations with Dutch-like fidelity. All such
will find Donovan to their taste, and about
tastes there is no disputing. Every man has
his humour and right to indulgeit.

ment contemplates granting the Irish people
complete control over their local affairs, ex
cites no alarm. Thepanic is over, and good
many of the English people are now asking
themselves if this is not, after all, the best
way of settling most perplexing question.

The House committee that has been inves-
tigating the expenditures of the Department
of Justice has ascertained that so far in the
telephone suit the government has expended
$685.. This is about all with its limited scope
which the committee will be able to find out,
and this the public cares nothing about 1t
is not the prosecution of the suit that is COM
planned of but its prosecution under the au-
spices of a department whose head will make
million of dollars or more if the suit is sue
cessful. The matter should be investigated by
a committee clothed with sufficient power to
probe it to the bottom. The House committee
has not even SKINNED the surface.
The suggestions Of statistician Griffen of
the British board of trade that the Irish land
problem can be solved not only easily, but
inexpensiyely, will doubtless receive due
consideration at the hands of her majesty'S
new ministers. In the first place Mr.. Grit
fen would have the imperial government buy
ont all the Irish landlords at twenty years
purchase. For this purchase he would au-
thorize a new issue of consols to the amount
of 9160,000,000. He would then give the land
to the present Irish tenantry, subject to
rent charge of one-half or two-thirds the
present rate. This he would make payable
to the Irish treasury giving the Irish author
tiles power to enforce its regular payment.
He would require Ireland to assume the en-
tire burden of expenditure for local purposes
now borne by the imperial exchequer. In
his own words he would 'throw the cost of
the local government in Ireland upon Irish
resources exclusively, and give the Irish peo-
pie the rent of the country for the purpose
of conducting it.

Clerk Dalton of Hamilton county, refuses
to give up the tally sheet which shows the
fo1geries committed by the Democrats at the
last election, and if he persists in being re-
fractory he will probably spend number of
weeks in jail. 1t is well known fact that
the sheets show most bungling alterations in
figures all in favor of the Democratic candi-
dates. The Democrats fear that the Repub-
licans viii have Thorn photographed and thus
be able to present evidence of the iniquity
of the Hamilton county gang which no
amount of lying can dispose of, hence they
are making desperate efforts to keep the tally
sheets covered up.

that our Washington correspondent is in er-

Collector Smalley admits that he knew
when he appointed him that one of his
deputy collectors had been several times i'll
dicted for breach of the custom laws, but says
he is not under indictment at present. The
Democratic party of Vermont is very small
and very likely does not furnish enough men
of clean records to fill the offices, so that the
Collector has found it necessary to appoint
Democrats who are a little smirched.
The Argus hears it intimated that Republic
cans are going to pack the Democratic cau-
cuses and nominate men that self-respecting
Democrats cannot vote for. If any Republic
cans have such a scheme as that on foot
they might as well abandon it. They may
succeed in packing the Democratic caucuses,
but the chances of succeeding in nominating
men that self-respecting Democrats will not
vote for are infinitesimal.
