He Is With Ua.

s'David NJ. Carley, we'll known in this
city, started last summer to visit rela-
tives in Canada, and while there the
services of the Canadian boatmen were
secured by John Bull to guide his
troops up the cataracts of the Nile to
rescue Gen. Gordon from the hands of
the Philistines. David jumped at the
chance for this boss tramp, and was at
tached to the expedition as war COR
respondent of several Canadian news
papers. His experiences were mani
fold and interesting, and he distin-
guished himself by publishing the first
newspaper iii the Soodan, And now
he is back again in our midst setting
type as though nothing had occurred,
but it is uncertain how long it Will be
until he is off again.
The above paragraph was clipped
from the Inland Printer, the leading
paper OF the craft III this country, pub
lished at Chicago. The supposition
that Dave would not stay long in the
Garden City, was we'll grounded. He
is now in the great metropolis Of the
Northwest, whittier he has come to
stay-fcr time, at least. He is thor
ough union man, and it is to his credit
that through all his travels he has never
failed to carry the regulation travelling
card of the International union.
AS war correspondent in the Soudan
Mr.. Carley made an excellent record
for himself, as the Canadian press has
testified. During period of two years
he has travelled over more ground, per
haps, than any other young man in
America Or anywhere else, there being
placed to his credit up to the present
date a score of 81 900 miles. Previous
to 1884 he had travelled throughout the
length and breadth of the American
continent. He has occupied every
position in a printing office from devil
to editor-in-chief of daily newspaper;
we use no flattery in saying that he is a
thorough printer, al excellent writer
q newspaper man through and through.
Dave is now in the employ of THE
STANDARD, and bets are being freely
made by old-time typos that his tourist
days are numbered. Wait and see.

Michael Davitt at Oxford.

Oxford is improying-Oxford place
famous for dead languages and undy-
ing prejudices, as Mr.. John Bright once
called it. We were rather startled in
London when we heard that the great
Irish patriot, Mr.. Michael Davitt, had
been invited to lecture on "Home
Rule % before the members of the Rus
sell club at the university. MIR. Davitt
did lecture. and was even entertained
at University college. Unfortunately
for the reputation of England for hospi-
tality, MIR. Davitt was not left wholly
unmolested. 1t was rumored the fol-
lowing day that he had been screwed
up'' in his rooms by some under.
graduates of the college. 1t appears,
however, that such was not the case.
The undergraduates only screwed up
Mr. Davitt's host: and were satisfied
with treating the great lrishman to a
little serenade. The Daily News re-
lates the incident in the following
humorous paragraph: "Oxford is a
very musical place, and it did happen
that some men indulged in a little
chamber music in the room next Mr..
Davitt's. They appear to have played
patriotic tunes net Irish patriotic
tunes, but selection of obsolete Eng.
lish airs, on quite a variety of instru-
ments. Trombones, trumpets, hunt
ing horns, and doubtless the piano,
combined in harmonies which a severe
taste might condemn. This expression
of musical feeling is perhaps to be re-
gretted, at least if it disturbed the re-
pose or agitated the bosom Of the guest
of the evening. But we are all subject
to this kind of Inconvenience at even
ing parties, concerts, and from the un-'
called-for melodies of street musicians.
The concert seems to have been brief,
not lasting more chan. twenty minutes.
Still, twenty minutes OF God Save the
Queen sung to the accompaniment of
ahybrid orchestra, tries a man IS loyalty
when the concert takes place after mid
night in room adjoining his bedroom.

gret that most concerts lastmuch long,

found the objections to the..placing of
this power in the hands Of the Irish
Parliament too strong to be overcome.
AS the debate on the bill proceeds it
becomes more and more apparent that
whatever may be the outcome of the
vote in the present House Of Commons.
the measure cannot be talked down.
None Of the speeches yet delivered on
the subject present very formidable
breastwork against the passage Of the
bill. Both Lord Harrington and Mr.
Chamberlain have evaded the point at
issue. Lord Randolph Churchill has
merely succeeded in drawing attention
to his hypocrisy aud double-dealing
with the irish National party, which he
will never have an opportunity OF re
peating. Itshould be remembered that
nearly all the political record Lord Ran
dolph ever achieved has been
through his alleged friendliness to the
Irish cause, aud now that he has an OPP
portunity Of materializing his profess
sions he has once more shrank to bis
natural dimensions. Not one Of the
members who were elected as Liberals
opposes Home Rule altogether. All
admit that the circumstances OF Ireland,
the circumstances Of the Empire, the
state of things in the Imperial Parlia-
ment, which finds itself unable to per-
form all that is expected Of it, impera-
lively demand that the Irish people
should hereafter be allowed to manage
their own affairs, and the sooner this
great question is settled thoroughly at
for the Empire as we'll as for Ireland.

A PERusAL of MIR. Gladstone's IS
speech can only draw forth but one
opinion as to the man-he was con-
scientious in everything he said. No
one can read it without being con-
vinced that the speaker believed from
the bottom OF his soul every word he
uttered. The knowledge chat the Brit
ish Premier is convinced that Home
Rule is just, expedient and absolutely
necessary has gone considerable way
to reconcile to his mode Of reasoning
thousands who were in doubt but a few
weeks ago.

THE IRISH STANDARD.

We would be deliberately prevari-
oating were we 10 assert that when TIE
NORTHWESTERN STANDARD (now IRISH
SrAnpAaD) was established some five
months ago the management had no
misgivings as to its success, from a
financial point OF view, or otherwise. It
YVES asserted by some that the Irish
feeling toward anything partaking Of 81
national Irish character was dormant,
and they would support any paper but
one advocating their interests. The
extraordinary success Of The STANDARD
is the hest evidence which can be Of
fered that such predictions lacked veri-
hcation; on the contrary, the Irishmen
Of the Northwest have proved loyal to
their organ.

tics Goes not divide thera i'll the great
cause they have at heart--the extending

large share of the time was given over
to this and other matters Of a business
nature which came before the branch,
and the interesting literary exercises
which this organization has become
famous for were necessarily cut short
When the order for election of officers
was called, Mr.. G. a. Gallagher, in a
neat speech, nominated 2. Il. McP art
lin for President, who has served the
branch faithfully in that capacity dur
ing the past year. Mr.. McPartlin, how
ever, after heartily thanking the MEM

him, declined a reelection. The fol-

mated for president, each in turn de-
clilling: J.H. Steele, Hugh Butler, NJ.

in it's future. Messsrs. G. A. Gallagher,

IN reality the bill proposed by Mr..
Gladstone is downright repeal of the
Act Of Union carried by Pitt at the be-
ginning % the century. 1t invokes no
sweeping changes Of the British Con-
stitution =; it does not copy the political
system of the United States, and has
but few features Of the scheme con-
structed for the Canadian Dominion.

their presence their app recitation of Mr..

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The Senate, when II adopted the Re-
publican caucus resolutions under the
lead Of Senator Edmunds, declared 1t to
be "the duty of the Senate to refuse its
advice and consent to proposed re.
movals of officers, the documents and
papers in reference to the supposed of
fetal or personal misconduct of whom
are withheld by the Executive or any
head Of department, when deemed
necessary by the Senate, and called for
IN considering the matter"
This rather involved sentence, when
translated into everyday phrase,
means simply this Presidential nomi-
nations will not be confirmed when the
President refuses to send to the Senate
public documents and papers in relation
thereto, "when deemed necessary by
the Senate" The clear inference is,
that when In any case the documents
aud papers are not deemed by the Sen
ate necessary to be sent, that body will
confirm the nominee without them.
Mr.. Edmunds knew that his resolu-
tion left the Senate free to determine
in each case, as 1t came up for discus
sion, whether to act with or without
the papers. A vote to confirm without
them is vote that they are not neces.
sary for the Senate's information. Such
q vote is strictly in compliance with the
resolution as above quoted The Won
der is how there can be any contro-
versy over so plain proposition.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Daniel Webster's last speech at Wash
ington has been misquoted. 1t was de-
livered, says Ben: Perley Poore in the
Boston Budget, from the front door of
his residence, next to the Unitarian
Church, to noisy crowd, who had as.
sembled to rejoice over the nomination
of General Scott at Baltimore. Mr..
Webster, who had expected that he
would have received the nomination
himself, betrayed no trace of dissap-
pointment, but spoke as follows: II
thank you, fellow citizens. for this
friendly and respectful call. / am very
glad to see you. Some of you have been
engaged in an arduous public duty at
Baltimore, the object Of your meeting
being the selection of fit person to be
supported for the office of President of
|. the United States. Others of you take
an interest in the result of the delibera.
tions of that assembly of Wings. 1t so
was presented on the occasion; another
candidate, however. was preferred. |
have only to say, gentlemen, that the
convention did, / doubt not, what it
thought best, and exercised its dscre-
tion in the important matter committed
to It, The result has caused me no
personal feeling whatever, nor any
change of conduct or purpose.
What have been 1 am,

what | am l hope to continue to
be. Circumstances or opponents may
triumph over my fortunes, but they
will not triumph over my temper or
my self-respect. Gentlemen, this is q
serene and beautiful night. Ten thou
sand thousand Of the lights of heaven
illuminate the armament. They rule
the night. A few hours hence their
glory will be extinguished.
"'Ye stars that glitter In the skies.

"Gentlemen, there Is not one among
you who will sleep better to night than

hour from the consultations, and
shall rise in the morning. God willing,
with the lark; and, though the lark Is
a better songster than am, yet he will
not leave the dew and the daisies and

east with more blithe and jocund
spirit than ! shall possess. Gentle

While 1t is not generally supposed
that the staid statesmen at the capital
are over-musical in their tastes, yet
there are some, says Washing
ton correspondent, who love to lay
aside the cares Of official work
and bathe their sous in song.
Everybody knows how Carl Schurz
used to play the piano between the
times when he was changing his polit.
ical party, and 1t is pretty well under
stood that President Cleveland has
rescued "Listen to the Moclsing Bird"
from "innocuous desuetude." The
President, as o matter of fact, likes
simple melodies. He Is very fond of a
