What the Pope will do about the Irish
question is just now interesting the Parnell
party. The Pope is not at all disinclined to
NEEDLE in the politics of nations in which
the members of his church has considerable
influence. In Germany he has such infu-
encc that even Bismarck has been forced to
treat with him, or to go to Canossa" as the
expression is. In Ireland there is even a
greater opportunity and excuse for papal in
reference. The Tory government has re-
allied this, and has used every effort to bring
the Pope over to its side. Not long ago the
Duke Of Norfolk, of the Catholic house of
Howard, whose family is the Oldest and
blood the bluest in all England, was sent to
the Vatican TO use his influence with Leo
KILL His mission was understood to have
been without result, though no one seems to
know this certainly. But Monday the Pope
declared to company Of Irish pilgrims
whom he received, that it would be impossi-
BILE tie settle the Irish question upon lines
identical with those forming the basis Of the
settlement of the Vatican's differences with
Prussia. This has caused the Irish leaders
to fear that the Pope may ally himself to
Salisbury as he has to Bismarck. 1t is known
that Cardinal Manning, Archbishop Walsh
and many other English and Irish prelates
deprecate any interference on the part of the
Vatican in Irish political matters, and will
exert themselves to the exhaustion of every
possibility to prevent His Holiness from or
dering the Irish clergy to cease agitating the
Home Rule cause. The Irish priests are al
so generally opposed to papal interference
The few who.areiagainst Home Rule have
been boycotted by their parishioners, and
this indicates how the order Of the Pope
would be likely to be received by the Irish
neople

The Halifax Chronicle alleges that the
public accounts of the Dominion for 1887
have been doctored in such way as to con-
ceal the true result of last years operations.
By adding to the public debt payments on
account Of the Northwest Rebellion and
other outlays properly chargeable to the
years expenditures the government has con-
veyed the impression that there is an appar-
ent surplus of $96,s32, while as matter OF
fact there is deficit of at least S500,000

TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.

In a letter to the Portland PRESS Mr.. Geo.
e. Bracket of Belfast denies the statement
that the Good Templars as an order are
talking politics." Whatever may be the

as an order its methods for temperance re-
form do not bring it within the pale OF poll

as II more active interest was taken In tue

Mayor Hewitt of New York in his mes
sage to the city council outlines scheme of
rapid transit which has about.it many novel
ties, especially as regards the details of con-
struction and the method of raising the
money. He would build four tracks from
the City Hall to the northern limits Of the
city, either underground or in sunken
roadway, two of the tracks to be for through
and two for local traffic, and from the City
Hall to each of the ferries he would build
railways underground. As regards ways
and means his plan is for the city to furnish
the money to build the roads and let the New
York Central railway do the work. When
completed he would lease the lines to that
railroad company at an annual rental of five
per cent. on the cost, the proceeds to be used
in paying the interest ON the money Dor
rowed for construction, and the remainder
to be placed in a sinking fund to take care
of the principal. Mr. Hewitt estimates that
under this plan in twenty-five years New
York would own the railways clear of all
encumbrance, and that they would become a
source of large income to the city, He thinks
the entrusting of the work to the New York
Central would ensure more economical
construction than If done by the municipali-
ty. Mr.. Depew, the President Of the New
York Central, has intimated that his COM
pany would be willing to undertake the work
under certain conditions.

The Democratic House of Representatives

bred thousand dollars for new Federal build
ings in the four small towns of Greenyille in

Springfield in Missouri, and Monroe in Lou

only few over six thousand inhabitants,
Asheville had even fewer, hardly over two

of all, had but six Thousand five hundred

Holman does not respond. There is re-

The Georgia State Election.

The Georgia state election which will oc-
cur ON Oct. will contain no element of
excitement. The democratic ticket for gov
ernor and other state officers will not be
opposed by the republicans, the leaders of
the last named party having decided not to
enact the farce of running ticket in
state which could give from $1,000 to i00, 900
democratic majority. The next legisla-
ture, as former ones have been, will be COM
posed almost entirely of democrats. In
few districts and counties the republicans
have placed candidates in the field, but
these candidates will be generally unsuc-
cessful.
At the October election the people will be
called on to vote on an amendment to the
constitution, which, if it is ratified, will
make it the duty of the next legislature to
elect two additional associate justices of the
supreme court. making that body stand
one chief justice and four associate JUS
tees
Very little, if any, opposition to the
amendment has been developed among the
people, who apparently appreciate the ne
cessity for making lighter the burdens of
the supreme bench. The amount Of work
done by the judges is more than they can
attend to properly without taxing their
strength very severely The three mem
bers who were on duty five years ago are
dead now, and there can be little doubt
that their deaths were hasten ed by over
work. In a letter written at the time the
bill for the amendment was about to be
introduced in the lepiS q ture Chief Tusrica
Bleckley said, in effect, that five judges
would know more law than three, would do
better work, and each would live longer
than if he were one of three members of the
bench. The additional cost to the people,
if the amendment is ratified, will be a mere
trihe

The Senate Tariff Bill.

The tariff bill of the Senate republicans.
which was laid before the Senate finance
committee the other day, and concerning
which SO great secrecy was sought to lie
maintained, will hardly become law. The
secrecy with regard to it was probably in
spired by the fact that there is about as
much difference of opinion among the re-
pub lean Senators as to what it should con-
tain as there ever was, and by the hope
that the measure may be made more gen
orally acceptable to them before it is given
to the public.
Notwithstanding the secrecy, however,
the provisions of the bill have become
known, and the chief concern of its trainers
seems to be to add wealth to those people who
are already wealthy, while very little or no
consideration is given to the masses of the
people. The New York Herald says con-
corning it: THE wage Garner and the man
with a small income will find in it very
little to comfort or cheer him. 1t compels
him to pay heavily for the necessaries of
life, but puts few luxuries within easy
reach. Alcohol and tobacco may be had at
the minimum rate; as for the articles of
daily consumption few changes are made,
and he must pay the old prices"
The Introduction of tariff bill by the
Senate republicans has been strongly OPP
posed, it is understood, by Chairman Quay,
of the republican national committee, but
it was contended that the northwestern
states demanded one, else some OF them
would go democratic The bill which
has been framed will not meet the
wishes of the northwest. The Mills
bill is much more to their liking. 1t will,
however, furnish the republicans pretext
for waging the Presidential campaign in
the Senate chamber, and will enable them
TO say that they have made an attempt TO
prevent the necessity of so great treasury
surplus in future. Probably that is their
object in submitting it. The voters of the
country will take notice that it is the demo
craft who really want to pass tariff bill
which would relieve the people.
