"W:l you introduce me to that lady? l
like her backl" Many years ago in Scot
land this was asked OF a hostess one night
when the evening circle were scattered about
a drawing-room, and the man who spoke
had not yet seen the lady's face. An intro
duction followed, a friendship, a marriage.
No doubt he vas discriminatin man and
knew that there is character in backs.

The New York Tribune recogni-
zes the fact that the tide is rising.
1t says; The politicians need not
lull themselves to sleep IN the be-
lief that the liquor question can be
set aside, 1t will not down, but it
will force them all to get up and
sav where thew stand"
Hencefortb let no man get up

without being compelled to sing 1t
out, whether he stands for the
Home or for tn Saloon.

A Word I'm Season.

1t is the Democratic intention, manifested
in many ways, to keep the south solid by
the usual means, and to play the next pres
idential game, as the last was played, with
loaded dice.
Nothing but an aggressive policy on the
part of the epublcans-aggress in the
strongest sense Of the word-can defeat this
plan.
There must be bold, determined effort
to have fair election and an honest count
In all the states. This must be insisted upon,
and II must be understood that mock elec-
tions shall not hereafter elect.
If the Republican party is worthy of its
record, If it would not belle its past and be-
cloud its future, 1t will stand as boldly and
firmly for a free ballot in 's6 aud 'SS as 1t
stood for free soil in $50 and go.
As in the days of its glorious youth the
Republican party inscribed on its banners,
"No more slave territory" and under the
inspiration of that motto went forth to con-
qucr, so in the days of its vigorous manhood
let it place on its faded, battle-torn flag,
beside the record Of victories in the cause
of human rights, the equally inspiring
motto, mo more mock elections" and
trusting in God and the right, go forth to
rescue the republic from minority rule based
on fraud and force.
Thus doing, the Republican party will de
serve to live and reign; not daring to dc
this, 1t will resign its right to life.

What MAY Happen.

do not think Ireland will ever succeed in
her present policy of demanding home rule.
The outcome of the present agitation will prob
ably be rebellion in Ireland. This England
would crush out within few months
Charles Z, Le'cts W. p
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN very firmly
believes that Ireland tciH succeed in her
demand for home rule. The present indica-
tions point to success by peaceful methods.
Not many months of such progress as the
cause Of the nationalists has achieved within
the past two or three years will be required
to establish Dublin parliament. We sin
cerely hope that the English people will
soon become convinced that their true pol
icy requires the concession of home rule,
and that liberal ministry will be sustained
in such measure as will bring agitation to
peaceful and satisfactory end.
But II the gloomy prediction Of Mr.. Lewis,
NJ. p, should be fulfilled so far as "a re-
bellion in Ireland" it may be seriously
doubted whether "England would crush IL
out in few months" However honestly
and earnestly our government might try to
fulfill our obligations Of neutrality toward
friendly power, 1t is morally certain that
the first battle on Irish soil would find
million of nish-Amerlcans- ns-strong-limbed
and g-hearted-ready to rush into the
fray. More than that, there would be many
millions Of money placed at the disposal of
the rebels. Armies would spring up like
magic, and navy would soon appear.
In all kindness toward England and her
people, with an earnest desire for the pro-
motion Of their welfare, sincerely hoping
that nothing may happen TO disturb the
amity that now exists between England
and the United States, we are bound to de-
clare that, II the British government pushes
Ireland into open rebellion, the Ireland
that is in America greater than the Ireland
in Europe-will take part In the struggle;
| and the American nation, of which Ireland
constitutes so important part, will give
the two Irelands its sympathy, no matter
how hard the federal government may
| strive to preserve neutrality.
There is another thing that may happen
| If this Irish business is not brought to an
end without prolonged and bloody strug-
gle. There are two great republics on the
globe-one in Europe, the other on this side
of the ocean. Non-intervention in the af-
fairs Of Europe is the traditional policy Of
the great American republic. But tradi-
tions may bo broken. Is 1t not possible
that, II war in Ireland were begun aud car
rled on for long time, the two great re-
publics, the two liberty-lovlng peoples,
clasping hands in the cause of liberty as
they did hundred years ago, would unite
in demanding for Ireland not only home
rule, but absolute independence
We do not say this would happen, but we
do say that is clearly within the range Of
possible things.

How the Fnn Cnme Abont.

Sir Michael Hlcks-Beach was undoubtedly
sincere when he stated in the commons on
Tuesday evening that his party had ac-
cepted power reluctantly and would accept
defeat without regret A minority ministry
Is a sort of monstrOsity which has no right
full or comfortable place in the British sys-
TEN. The tenure by which the tories held
office was frail enough before the election.
Mr. Parnell took good care that under the
pew house neither party should be able to
govern without his consent.
But the question on which the Salisbury
ministry met defeat was not such an issue
as would have been expected to be at the
front on such an occasion. 1t was neither
a question Of foreign policy nor Of Irish
policy, but the demand Of the newly en-
frGnchised farm laborcrs for small allot-
ments Of lands. Mr. Ceilings voiced this
demand two weeks ago at public meeting,
and was answered with sneers by the tory
press The London Times declared that
Mr. Chamberlain, by supporting the allot-
ment proposition, had read himself out Of
the rank Of serious politicians and must be
held "a Pantagruclian humorist" But
after the lapse Of only fifteen days, the lib.
eral party, led 10y Mr., Gladstone, presents
an almost solid front in support OF the Col
lings plan aud, with the aid of the national
lists, pushes the tories and few whlg allies
over the wall.
Itwill he seen that this victory Is direct
fruitage Of the seed planted by Gladstone
when he carried the eXtensOn-of-franchise
bill, III good as in evil, one step inevitably
leads on TO another. The ballot being put
into the hands Of the laborers OF England
they begin to assert their right to live
not to exist like beasts Of burden-but to
have some chance In life. They know that
the Cod who put them on this planet never
gave its surface to be held by few while
Tie many have no rights therein They
