MP pdRNFLES EXULTATION.

Mr.. Parnell may be pardoned for neglecting
to conceal his sense Of eXultation as he reviews
the events of the last fortnight. lie has been
the most conspicuous figure in Parliament since
the opening of the session and without com
hitting a single error he has scored several
notable triumphs. His first speech was so
conservative in its tone that Mr. Gladstone at
once followed him, supporting his main con-
illusions and strengthening thereby the alliance
between the Liberals and Nationalist. Then
succeeded a series of man9uvres by which inc
Irish leader vaguely threatened the Government
with obstruction and left the English Radicals
10 employ these questionable tactics; and lin
ally, when the Liberals under Sir William Ilar-
courts direction were preparing TO frown upon
this desperate eXpedient for retardlng business,
Mr.. Parncl opportunely proposed basis OF
settlement by which he is to he allowed to in
troduce bill relating to evictions and the Gov
eminent is to obtain votes for supply and to
adjourn the House. The debates have COM
pletcly changed the tone Of the Government
respecting coercion and land purchase and
strengthened the Homo Rule movement.
1t is not surprising, therefore, to find MIR.
Parnell as confident of success and as satisfied
with the situation rs the long interview with
him in the cable letter in yesterdays TRIBUNE
represented. The victorious UniOnsts, after
Boosting Of obtaining a mandate from The con-
stitucncies against Mr.. Parnel's policy, have
begun the session by opening a parley with
him. Having no remedial legislation Of their
own they allow him TO introduce a land bill
which will 90 far toward uniting the warning
sections of the Liberal party. 1t will follow
the lines of Mr.. Gladstone's Act of 1881 and
empower leascholders to apply for judicial rents
and the courts to revise rents and to suspend
ejcctment proceedings. The introduction of
this Irish Land bill in connection with the in
ability of the Tory Government to find con-
venient pretcxt for reviving coercion will
prove that Home Rule still holds the field
and that Mr.. Parncll's power and influence
are steadily increasing.

PRINCE ALEXANDER'S ABDICATION.

Prince Alexander's abdicaion was dccrced
ty the three military Emperors. Russia de-
mandcd the restoration Of her influence in the
Balkan State which she had delivered from
Turkish rule Germany and Austria have
acouesccd in this demand in order to prevent
the occupation of the principally Ivy the North
ern Power and the outbreak of European war
Prince Alexander having been brutally snubled
by the Car, mcekly followed Prince Bismarck
adj vice and publicly announced his intention Of
giving up his throne He had not an ally in
Europe who was willing to take up arms IN
defence Of his territory. The military Empires
had united their diplomatic forces against him
and resistance TO their will was out of the
question.
From the Russian point Of view the Princes
andication was inevitable the moment he ceased
to look to ST. Petersburg for counsel, support
and protection. The Northern Power had not
fought in the Balkan an cXhausting campaign
and dictated peace at the gates of Constantine
Oplc TO found hostile State, whose subjects
should he taught TO hate and dcspise Russian
influence The Bulgaria which Russian yalor
had rescued from Turkish barbarity was to be
governed in the interest Of the Gar This was
what Prince Alexander WAS expected to do when
he was nominated at the instance Of Russia
When he cast in his lot with the National party,
removed Russian officers from the military and
civil posts acted independently Of the Foreign
Office at st. Petersburg and listened to the
cuckoo voice of English diplomacy, his downfall
was dccrced 1t would have occurred at the
timc Of the Rumelan revolution If the Prince
had not accidentally discovered what was going
on and surprised the conspirators by placing
himself at the head Of the union movement. 1t
would have followed the Servian invasion il

THE LOCAL STAGE.

Although the dramatic season has only just
begun there no less than twenty-six places OF
amusement, chiefly theatrical and MUSICAL, already

unimportant TO the public. but others are well entitled
to approbatve consideration. The CHIEF dramatic feature
OF the time Is found Star Theatre where Lawrence
Barrettis acting In round OF characters of the first

TIE BTNGHAMTON CONTENTION.

An Anti-SaloOn Republican State Convention
will be held to-day at Binghamton, the main
purpose being the selection of delegates TO
the National Conference to be held at Chicago
on the 10th instant. From the lists of local
delegations to the Binghamton Convention al
ready published, 1t is evident that great care
has been exercised in choosing prominent and
thoroughly representative men, and there can
he no doubt that the general character OF the
body which meets to-day will be such as TO
command respectful consideration for its pro-
ceedings. It. is indeed characteristic OF this
movement that in all the States which have al
ready chosen delegations to Chicago the utmost
effort has been made to select men whose known
sincerity and integrity are guarantees Tor the
good faith and earnestness OF their acuon.
In Illinois, where the Anti-Saloon movement
has had to encounter the open and unsparins
opposition and ridicule of the Republican as
well as the Democratic journals, number Oh
the best known citizens Of Chicago have con-
scnted to act as delegates to the National Con-
ference In nearly all the other States which
have appointed delegates the same business
like principle has been adopted, so that the
general advance Of temperate views among
Republicans is being evidenced indirectly In
striking way by the preliminary arrangements.
The rapid growth of temperance sentiment
has been shown in Massachusetts, recently by
the organization of new non-partisan prohlbl-
ton movement by number of Republicans
who hold that the saloon evil can be overcome
without abandoning the party. The Anti
Saloon movement seems likely to demonstrate
the prevalence of this view even more clearly
The energy with which 1t has been taken up
bv thinking and earnest men shows how deep
" the drink evil has impressed itself upon the
public mind how necessary active reform
measures are held to be; and how pracucaole
the securing of these reforms through the Re
publican party appears to large number oil
temperance advocates. The feasibility OF over
coming the reluctance Of professional poll
tcians TO take up a great moral issue adhesion
TO which involves a certain loss of votes Is, OF
course, the crucial question. Thus far the In
dications are that the success Of such course
seems possible to many more Republicans than
might have been thought to hold such view,
and at least it is now certain that the attempt
to exert controlling influence IN this dlrec-
ton upon the party will be made under as
favorable conditions as could have been eN-
pccted.

WHAT THE YACHT RACE MEANS.

The possession Of the Americas cup by the
New-Yorl Yacht Club has been good thing
for American yachting. Were it not for this
international trophy Americans might still con-
slider the GIacie, Mischief and Fanny the feetest
OF yachts. and such boats as the Mayhower
Puritan and Priscilla would exist only In the
dreams of ambitious designers. The necessity
Of defending the cup has not only added to and
improved the yacht feet. but it has reused the
dormant interest Of Americans In maritime
matters The farmer on the Western prairie
who never saw salt water. is almost as much
interested as the dweller on the coast in the
success of the Mayfower in the races Of this
week The American merchant marine and the
American navy dccayed and passed away and
scarcely voice of protest was raised. Every
where the red cross of st. George supplanted
The stars and stripes on the sea and Americans
locked on with complacency. But now the re-
peated attempts of the English TO take from
this country almost all that Is left to show that
it is still maritime nation-its supremacy In
yachting-has aroused strong feeling Of pat
riotc pride, and spurred Americans TO great
efforts to retain the little left them.
Lieutenant HEM has made himself so popular
that if the cup must go back to England there
is no one Americans would rather see take 1t
back than he. But we don't want it to 60
back. Never was the cup defended by so
feet yacht as it will be this time, and if the
Galatca can win it against the May6ower we
certainly have no right to the trophy on this
side of the water The first race will take place
to-day. and in England and America all
yachtsmen will Join in the sentiment. Fair
nIav. and victory to the fastest boat"

HOW NEHBURYPoRT WAs SHAKEN IN 1927.

HOW NEUBURTPORI UAS SHAKEN IN 1927.
The popular belief that the phenomena attending
the earthquakes in the South have never before
been observed on the Atlantic Coast will have to
be revised in the light OF the disturbances early
in the last century in New England to which
reference has been made In THE TRIBUNE. Among
the manifestations in South Carolina which i'm
pressed the spectators with the awful nature of the
commissions were the assures in the ground
through which fine sand of different coors was
forced and the formation Of springs in places that
had formerly oeen dry. investigator has disclosed
an interesting record of the great earthquake that
shook the town of Newburyport in the northeast t.
ern corner of Massachusetts In 1925 and this
record shows that similar phenom ena were then
witnessed.
The record is that of the Protestant Episcopal
Church at Newburyport. and compiled by the
then rector. the Rev Matthias Plant This old
time chrohcler. whose veracity Is presumably
above question. gives the following terse and
graphic description of the first and severest series
of shocks:
October 20, 1927. Being the Lords Day at forty
minutes past 10 the same evening there was "a most
terrific. sudden and htnnzng earthquake, which did
