G%LADSTONE'S WORDS.
The Grand old Mans Efforts
for Ireland.
Tory Triumphs Will be But
Short Lived
And National Sentiment Must
Assert Itself.
Gladstone's Cheering words.

LONDON, May 1O.-An address signed
by $3.50 dissenting ministers, was pre-
sented to Gladstone yesterday, expressing
their sympathy with him in his efforts to
reconcile England and Ireland. In reply
to the address Gladstone said that during
the present session the Parnellites, despite
the pressing needs of Ireland, had refrain
ed from urging their claims, and had as
sisted the government to expedite business.
Whether or not parliament was employed
at this or that given time in discussing
Ireland, it was Ireland alone that truly
held the key to legislation. The govern.
ment knew that the nation was with the
home rule party and therefore guided the
affairs OF parliament so as to delay the
time when a ministry would be in power
pledged to propose home rule for Ireland.
The majority in the house of
thought they Guild 90 en- for five years.
They put this against his life as an old
man, but the life of an old or young man
would not effect the final settlement.
Cheers Justice would be done to Ire
land. Ere long the national sentiment
would assert itself.
The Tories plumed themselves upon
being the defenders of law and order.
Instead of maintaining order the govern
ment had promoted murderous breaches
of the law.
Parnell was as much devoted to the
maintenance of law and order as anyone.
Neither he nor Parnell vindicated the
plan of campaign. The governments
conduct had created the plan of campaign
by making laws odious to the people.
The object ofshe government seemed to
be to insult, exasperate and degrade the
Irish. As soon as the terrible facts re-
garding the suffering in Ireland were
brought home to the upright minds of the
people Of England, they would unite to
redress the sad errors of the past.

took place at Carmack, near Thurlcs, to.
day, between a strong force of emergency
policemen and tenants whom they sought
to evict. The police used a battcring ram

ants throwing boiling water on them and
assaulting them with bricks and stones.
Some Of the intended cvictions were
effected. The Others, it is believed, will
be abandoned.

The expenses attending the maintenance and
operation of the Pension Bureau during that
period was s., 1852 524.67, making the entire ex-
penditure of the Bureau $82,03S, 1857, being
213 per cent. of the gross income, and nearly 81
per cent. of the total expenditures OF the Gov
eminent during the year.
81 am thoroughly convinced that our gen.
eral pension laws should be revised and ad-
justed to meet, as far as possible In the light OF
our experience, all meritorious cases. The
fact that 102 different rates of pensions are
paid cannot in my opinion. be made consistent
with justice to the pensioners or TO the Gov
eminent; and the numerous private pension
bills that are passed, predicated upon the i'm
projections of general laws, while they increase
in many cases existing inequality and injustice,
lend additional force to the recommendation
for a revision of the general laws on this sub
iect.
"The laxity of ideas prevailing among a
large number of our people regarding pensions
is becoming every day more marked. The
principles upon which they should be granted
are in danger of being altogether ignored, and
already pensions are often claimed because the
applicants are as much entitled as other sue
Cessful applicants rather than upon any dlsa-
bility reasonably attributable TO military serv-
ice If the establishment of vicious presidents
be continued, if the granting of pensions be
not divorced from partisan and other unworthy
able name of veteran unfairly becomes by these
means but another term for one who constantly
clamors for the aid of the Government, there
is danger that injury will be done to the fame
and patriotism of many whom our citizens all
delight to honor, and that prejudice will be
aroused unjust to meritorious applicants for
pensions"
The President is very hopeful for the future
of the sugar making, and says:
During the past four years the process of
diffusion, as applied to the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum and sugar-cane, has been
introduced into this country and fully perfect
ed by the experiments carried on by the De-
partment of Agriculture This process is now
universally considered to be the most econom-
ical one, and it is through it that the sorghum
sugar industry has been established upon
firm basis and the road to its future success
opened. The adoption of this diffusion process
is also extending in Louisiana and other sugar
producing parts of the country, and will doubt
less soon be the only method employed for the
extraction of sugar from the cane"
The message concludes as follows:
The consciousness that l have presented
but an imperfect statement of the condition of
our country and its wants, occasions no fear
that anything omitted is not known and APP
preciated by the Congress, upon whom rests the
responsibility of intelligent legislation in be-
half of great Nation and cOnfding people
" As public servants we shall do our duty
well if we constantly guard the rectltuue OF
our intentions, maintain unsullied our love of
country, and with unselfsh purpose strive for
the public good"

War, held at Ovid, Mich, Nov. % and 90 was
a decided success in every particular. The att
tendance was good, and great interest mani
tested. The people of the village did us justice
in their entertainments. There were three regu-
lar old-fashioned love-feast meetings held, all
well attended, and some of the most heart-rend-
ing experiences related. The Order Endorsed the
bill allowing us 2 cents per day and S. per

thanking the W.RC., s. of ", GAR. and
