A JOYFUL QUEEN.

A recent dispatch from London,
makes the announcement that the Queen
appeared in unusual good spirits at
garden party given by the Prince and
Princess of Wales few evenings after
the defeat of Mr.. Gladstone. The dis
patch is significant. 1t is well-known
fact that the Queen was never irretrlev-
ably infatuated with Mr. Gladstone or
his Home Rule measures. Any bill
proposing to better the condition of the
Irish people would be met in precisely
the same spirit by Victoria that Catholic
emancipation was by her ibertine pre-
decessor Of the Georges. Yet he lived
to see the object Of his hatred become
reality, and we have no doubt Victoria
will do the same thing, although she is
now in the ''sere and yellow leaf.' Fur
ther, while the aged Queen is reported to
have played more scientific game than
she ever did before and kicked her heels
pretty high. at this particular garden
party, she may yet be compelled to
afix her loyal signature to a
more obnoxious (to herr measure
than the one introduced by Mr.. Glad
stone, in the near future. It has long
been the boast Of Her Majestys admir-
ers, that If anything she is constitution
al monarch, but if this statement be true,
she takes very poor way OF showing it.
The Quebec Budget, in speaking on this
subject says, as nearly one half Of the
British people have justvoted FOR Home
Rule, while, with insignificant except
ions her subjects abroad and the rest Of
civilization almost unanimously sympa-
thize with it. it must be said that her at
titude savors more of the woman and the
partisan than the constitutional mon
arch we are so constantly and so proud
ly told she is. However, she is not the
first by good deal who has been little
too previous in halloing before she is out
of tile woods. She Is not out OF Home
Rule woods yet by any means, as she
Will find if she cnly lives few months
longer. The laugh will then probably
be on the other side Of her royal mouth.

UNITED ireland, commenting on
the political situation, says the Mar
quis of Salisbury will be compelled ere
long to produce his ,nauacles. During
the past year the Irish people have
submitted to the bitterest privatlons
and extortions patiently. The judicial
rents are becoming daily more impos-
sible for the tenantry TO pay and more
unbearable. 1t is absolutely hopeless
to expect any redress from All English
Parliament. Tt is not in human ma
ture for the Irifh tenantry to longer re-
frain from helping themselves. Land
lords will fight for their rents with fire,
sword, Or crowbar, thus obliging Lord
Salisbury to pray Parliament to assist
the landlords by some 1ew-fangled Co
ercion Act. Then will come the tug of
war.

A SPECIAL meeting Of the municipal
council of Waterford was held Tuesday
to take action concerning the portrait
Of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher, re-
Gently presented to the city by Irish
men of New York. The mayor pre-
sided. The council resolved to hang
the portrait in the council room and to
make way for it by removing the por-
traits of King George L., King George
III. and King William I'LL, which now
hang in the council chamber.

AGENTS FOR THE IRISH STANDARD.
The following gentlemen are autho-
rixed agents for Tile IRISH STANDARD
in their respective localities:
THE IRISH sITLATION.

The Tory Cabinet has been announced
as follows Secretary OF war, Rt. Hon.
William Henry Smith first lord OF the
admiralty, Lord. George Hamilton lord
high chancellor, Lord Halsbury; secre-
tnry for India, Rt Hon. Frederick
Arthur Stanley; lord president Of tine
council, Viscount Cranbrook president
Of the local government board. Rt. Hon.
Henry Chaplin president Of the board
of traae. Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope );
postmaster general, Lord John Man
l,ors first commissioner Of works, Rt.
Hon David Plunkett; attorney general,
Sir r.. E. Webster; lord chancellor OF
ireland, Lord Ashbourne. The first
three oe the above are official announce
ments.
The Irish policy of. Lord Salisbury
has been foreshadowed. He proposes to
lend to Ireland e5, 900, 900 to enable her
to establish local banks on the Scotch
system, and lend money at nominal in
serest to farmers and manufacturers to
stimulate and develop trade.
Perhaps the situation from the Par
nellite side Of the question can be
best explained by repeating the words
of Mr.. Joseph Biggar at raeeting OF
the National League in Dublin last
Wednesday. That gentleman said there
was no reason to feel Respondent over
anything the Conservatives might at
tempt. The Parnellites, he said, had al
ready unmade two governments, and it
was not unlikely they would unmake a
third. He hoped that in any case they
would never assist Mr.. Chamberlain,
whom he characterized as the most dis.
honest politician Of the age.
Mr.. John Dillon also addressed the
meeting. He said that if coercion
should be introduced in ireland the
landlords would have the most cause to
regret it's introduction. II Home Rule
was offered ireland would accept the
boon, remembering, however, that it
gas Mr.. Gladstone who first offered it.
II is quite possible that Salisbury will
extend to ireland system of local self
government. but everybody knows how
the Tcry premier would crush the Irish
people if he dared.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY writes that Mr.
Gladstone has never looked better of
late years than now. He is lot in the
least cast down, although unquestion-
ably the result of the elections was a
surprise to him. Now he has entirely
got over that shock of surprise, and is
we'll satisfied with what he has done
and full OF eagerness for the general
conflict. lie points out to any one
with whom he has an opportunity Of
discussing the question that in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales one million
and quarter votes in round numbers
were given for Home Rule, while only
one million three hundred and twenty
thousand votes were given for the To-
ries and Secessionists, Liberals com
bined. Now add to this fact that an
overwhelming majority Of the votes in
Ireland was given for Home Rule. and
take into consideration also that the
Secessionist Liberals votes were given,
not against Home Rule, but only
against one particular scheme of Home
Rule, therefore, we have Ireland for
Home Rule, and very small majority
In England, Scotland, and Wales pro-
nouncing against one particular form form
of Home Rule. VA s S sS .13

The virtual termination OF the Eng
lish elections is a strange commentary
en- the fckleness of electors. 1t may be-
interesting to note that in the first re
formed Parliament in Great Britain in
1888, the figures we're Liberals, $50 ::
Conservatives, 147; Repealers, 40. In
the following year the Conservatives
had majority of so. Last year the le-
turns were; Liberals, 1874; Conserva-
tives, $50, and Home Rulers, So. Now
the returns would seem to show ::
Conservatives, 316; Unionists. 76. 1892 i
Gladstonians, 100, and Home Rulers s6,
[276.1 1t will be seen that the Home
Rulers have doubled in half q century.

AFTER all it appears that TIE
STANDARD was about right in the
Kelly motor matter. An eminent
scientific writer speaks simply in de-
fence of our position as follows: May
not the correlation and interaction Of
the forces of sound, electricity, and CO.
hesion, through certain appliances and
manipulations, evolve an interatmos-
pberic vapor of hitherto unknown ex-
pansibility?" We rather incline to the
belief that it might.

BILLINGSGATE JOURNALISM.

It is often remarked by Anglomaniacs
that political controversy Iii England is
conducted with decoru,n that might
be pro6tably observed by American
journalists. Recent attention TO the
press of England will convince anyone
that they do not deserve the credit for
this courtesy. We doubt veny much
whether our Republican contemporaries
ever abused their opponents more foully
than the English press has vi]litied Mr.
Gladstone and his supporters. List any
one turn to the Saturday Review and
there they will have ocular denlonstra~
ton Of this assertion. This weekly is
of the highest class, and frequently re-
Dukes journalists who forget the ameni-
ties. When such journal is yitnpera-
tive, one may imagine the sort Of Ian.
language used by the less refined pa
pers. On June II it said Of those who
supported the Home Rule Bill -
cit would probably be impossible to
find such residum, such & mass Of
human lees and dregs, on *be side OF q
Prime Minister III any division list OF
modern times On question OF equal i'm
portance."
Elsewhere it spoke in one sentence of
I" the bestial llowls Of the Irish men,
bers,'' and of Mr.. Gladstone's fresh
equivocations.''
Again, "we do not expect manners
from Professor Thorold Rogers or from
Mr.. Leicester r We do not, iii
short, expect manners from Tag, and
Rag, and Bobtail."
Among many other naorceaux as
choice we Gull the following from recent
issues
1.-The unconscious or half-conscious
contempt Of the demagogue for his
dupes is exemplifed in Mr.. Gladstone's
fulsome eulogies on the wisdom Of the
Masses
stMr. Gladstone we'll knows that the
crowds which he addresses have never
attempted to form an independent judg-
ment on the character or probable re-
suits of Home Rule. They implicitly
follow the dictation of popular orator,
who repays their confidence with para
doxical and servile adulation. -
Mr.. Gladstone aims almost without
disguise at the despotism which was
often exercised in old Greek cities by
those successful denlagogues, who were
the first to bear the name Of ttyrant.'
They also stirred up the masses against
the classes, well knowing that intellect,
rank, and personal eminence offered the
only impediments to their usurpation.' y
'sWhatever the progress or otherwise
of the masses, they still contain a large
enough admixture OF brutal ruff
fianism to make it worth our while TO
bring certain other influences to bear.'
s'His (Mr. Gladstone's) wanton and
offensive comment on his own pro-
posal.''
'sIt is even now by no means certain
that, if Mr.. Gladstone could have sub
dued the two passions which exist to-
gether in him, imperiousness and du-
picity, he might not have squeezed his
measure thrOnp} -
So, it will be observed, that although
on the whole courteous, even the John
Bull editor Of the Saturday Review can
stoop to the use Of Billingsgate when
the red cloth Of Home Rule for Ireland
is waved in his face.

The Value Of Vote in Scotland.

What will American voters think Of the
fact that some had to walk twenty miles 10
record their votes and they walked it under
torrents OF rain In other cases they had to
cross stormy channels in small boats. SO de-
termined were the people of my native place
to vote that the men joined together and hired
a small steamer.
In another case the candidate himself
chartered steamer for the day, and ON its
arrival such was the tempest that the small
boats could scarcely get out to it. Not to be
beaten, the voters carried on their shoulders a
large boat from far inland and launched it
for the occasion. Thus, by boat and steamer
and road the new voters found their way TO
the far-off polling booths, and for the first
time realized they were men of national i'm
portance. Glasgow Letter.

Diseases OF the Finger Nails.

"Do you know that there are several dis

is rare, and can only be treated by skilful

She laughed at him, leased him thousand
ways-and drew him on. She could not help
It.; it was part Of her nature-and he came so
easily.
1t was about this time, divided between his
tascination-for he was not in love with EN-

no wrong 70 the loving girl who trusted him
so fully, that he wrote TO Mrs Powell Cor adj

He read the letter very carefully but could
bring his mind to no decision He went to
call on Emma Mayhem that night They
were alone in the SHELTON drawing room. She
sang to him, the rich notes OF her pure con-
tralto seeming to overburdcn the perfumed
air with tender melody; she bewitched him
with the magic OF her voice. AlmosS uncon-
sciously he was at the SIRENS feet pouring
forth the torrent OF his passion.
The music ceased suddenly She heard him
through without a word. He seized her hand,
seeking TO cover it with KISSES but she drew
it away, arose and stood above him like @
white, fair goddess. She did not look upon
the kneeling man at her feet. Her eyes were
far away, seeming to pierce the future-but
