GLADSTONE AND HOME RULE.

In a little less than week Mr.. Gladstone
will develop his plan for the government of
Ireland before the House of Commons.
What that plan is is not likely to be def
nitely known before its author himself I'M
folds it. The various statements already
made in regard to it are very disSimilar,
showing that large part of all of them is
the product of guess work. Outside OF the
Cabinet the plan is not definitely known.
Indeed, it is not quite certain that Mr.. Glad
stone himself has fully settled on all the
provisions of the measure, and that there
may not be very essential notifications of it
before it is presented to the Commons.
That England is on the eve of a crisis, and
that the time when Mr.. Gladstones plan
shall be unfolded is waited for with anxious
forebOdingS is evident enough from the tone
of the British press, and the uncertainty as
to what kind of measure will be presented
only tends to intensity the prevailing state
of the public mind.
Mr.. Gladstone is a practical statesman.
and has undoubtedly drawn his bill with
view to it's passage. He has not formulated
a measure simply for the purpose of declar-
ing his sentiments or showing what kind of
a government Ireland should have. His
purpose is to give Ireland government,
and therefore he has had to construct his
measure not only in accordance with his own
views, but in many particulars to modify 1t
to conform to the views of those on whose
votes he must depend. First and foremost,
it has been necessary for him to formulate
measure which Mr.. Parnell will accept for
without Mr.. Panell's support the National
vote would be lost, and without that
success would be impossible. The prob
lem he has had to wrestle with is
how to conciliate the Parnellites without
driving off the Liberals, or so many
OF them as to render defeat certain. 1t has
been problem full of perplexities, one
which feebler man would have given up
long ago. But Mr.. Gladstone has persevered
IN the lace OIL numerous and serious dis
courasementS. TWO of his cabinet ministers
have deserted him and royalty has lent its
sympathy to his opponents. But the deser-
tion of life long adherents, the frowns of
royalty and the cutlery of men who tbinl,
they see in his scheme the beginning of the
disruption of the empire, have not dismaved
him. He has pursued the even tenor of his
way. keeping his own counsel, and looking
to the future for his vindication, And on
that future he can rely with confidence. The
present House of Commons may not adopt
his plan, the advocates of force may still be
in the ascendency in that body, but eyentu-
ally the principle of HOmerule must triumph.
Coercion has been tried for centuries, and
brought nothing but disaster The English
people will not always consent to continue
the use of agencies, which have been re-
peatedly tried and repeatedly failed.

Mr. Sibley, the agent of the schooner Fan
ME A. Gorham, which played such an impor-
tant part in the Oregon disaster, says that
he has flied q claim for salvage against the
consignees of $4,000 worth of diamonds
which the purser of the Oregon took on
board his vessel. An interesting discussion
on this very question, from the Economist of
London, may be found in another column. 1t
gives the English rule concerning the respec-
tive liabilities of the owners of the wrecked
steamer, and of those of her cargo for the
salvage services rendered by rescuing vessels.

Precisely what the hitch now is at St.
Louis it is difficult to gather from the de-
spatches. Apparently the strikers think the
company has not kept its agreement with
Mr.. Powderly, at least not as they under
stood it, When the executive committee of
the Knights arrive at ST Louis, it is to be
hoped they will be able to straighten out the
difficulty. Should the strike be renewed
now, it is to be feared feeling of exaspera-
ton would take possession of the strikers,
that might lead to violence and disorder.

The Winona Advance, printed in Carroll
county, Miss, is of the opinion that the re-
cent wholesale slaughter of negroes at the
county seat is CAROLS affair, and that out
sidera would better mind their own business.
1t objects to comment or advice from any
newspaper beyond the jurisdiction Of Mis-
sissippi courts" 1t gives the white people
of the county the highest character for Gin
telligence, sense of justice, refined morality
and long-established respect for law and
order" 1t regrets the recent incident, and
thinks it more than probable that the gentle
men with the Winchester rifles went too far
that the punishment inflicted was in ex-
cess of the provocation. "But that a col
lislon could have been altogether avoided, .
remarks our Mississippi contemporary
without submission to greater and more
humiliating evils is another question, and
one with which people outside of Carroll
county are not wholly competent to deal in
that spirit of equity and impartiality which
the case demands"
Much of what Mr.. Martin Irons said in his
address at st. Louis in regard to Jay Gould
is true Mr.. Gould has never shown much
consideration for labor until he has been
forced to. Such concessions as he has made
have been wrested from him by threats.
Were the strikers arranged on one side and
Jay Gould on the other, the public would be
in slight danger of making mistake if they
supported the former without taking the
trouble to examine into the merits of the
question at issue. But this has not been the
situation at st. Louis. The strike has not
affected Mr.. Gould half as severely as it has
hundreds and thousands of innocent people
who are compelled to depend upon his rail
roads for their supplies 1t is by no means
unlikely that Mr.. Gould will be able so to
manipulate the stock market as to eVentu-
ally make money out of the strike Nh.
IrOns's appeal, therefore, to the people to
take sides with the strikers because Mr..
Gould is on the other side is based on an in
correct assumption. Mr.. Gould is perhaps
AonITH0'Ay---i-@,-A thnr side hnt really the
other side is the thousands ofpeople who are

FORBIDDEN TO ENTER CHURCH
Uniformed Knights Rebuked by a
Priest.

BALTIMORE, July 16.-The uniformed
Knights of st. Michael is an association
composed of many Of the leading men,
bers of st. Michael's Catholic church. 1t
is body of considerable intelligence and
it claims the right OF managing it's own
affairs. The Rev. f. n. Won Emstede,
pastor OF the church, however, insists
that 1t is subordi nate to the church and
that it cannot manage its organization
without consultation with the church.
He calls il a "societv of Catholics" but
not Catholic society"
Late yestTday y lternoOn the Knights,
decked in their fe@al1a, bore to the church
the remains ofpne Of their deco ased men,
bers, John flasher, but when they arrived
at the door Father Werner stood on the
steps and forbade them to enter unless
they took Oft their Eegalia. This they de-
clined to do. A heavy thunderstorm had
begun, hut thew drew up in two lines,
through which the coffin was passed The
disrobed themselves OF all their regalIa
except their trousers and hung their coats
ana walstcoats on railing near the
church. The unusual Spectacle OF men
In their shirt sleeves bearing coffin up
the aisle was then seen. The services
were marked by no unusual incident, but
while they were proceeding the Knights
outside were being drenched by the steady
down-pour OF rain. After the blessing of
the corpse the Knights acted as escort TO
the hearse. All the members of the organ
ization are in good standing in the church.
