n roaring farce. Their English opponents as
serted in like manner that The onl; advantage
to be derived from separate Irish Legislature
would be the cmptying OF the Nationalist
benches and the cessation OF obstruction tac-
tics; but if the delegation were retained, as
the Liberal wavcrers wished them to be, the
old scenes would be re-enacted, time wodld be
wasted and useful legislation blocked. these
two objections seem to have lost much OF their
original force Possibly the Irish members
find Westminster pleasanter place, now that
they have English allies and a champion in
Mr.. Gladstone. Then again. obstruction has
become n thing Of the past, and the Irish ques-
ton no longer blocks legislation for England
The Radicals. too, and perhaps the Tory DEM
ocrats as well, perceive the advantage OF nav
ing Irish votes for their future measures. They
are not anxious to have the Nationalist seats
cmptied. They may require support from that
quarter before many years.
The Home Rule scheme has not only been re-
viscd in this particular, but it has also been
incorporated with Imperial Federation. MIR.

years ago only by "viewy' and imaginative
Britons, but one that is steadily growing IN
favor Lord Roscbery has faith in 1t, and he
is probably destined to be Mr.. Gladstones

proportions, appealing powerfully to British
pride. Mr.. Parnell probably hopes to pop

connecting it with this snowy scheme OF I'M

TAKING TO THE HOODS"

The Rev. Dr. Cuyler. in his free talk about
free trade and free whiskey," predicts that a
good many conscientious Republicans will
take to the woods" this year. His chief
grievances seem to be % the uncompromising
support which the Chicago platform gives to
Protection, and (2) its contingent proposition
for the abolition of the Internal Revenue sys-
tenn. If we are well informed, he srenuously
opposed the Republican party in 1884, and
urged his friends to follow his example and
vote for Mr. st. John on the Prohibition plat
FORM Is he aware Of the fact that the two
special grievances Of which he now complains
were embodied in that platform? In order to
refresh his memory, we quote the following
passage from the Prohibition platform adopted
at Pittsburg Oh July "a, 1884:
That the collection OF revenues from arcohos,
liquors and tobacco should be abolished the Vices
Of men rot proper subject for taxation; that
from customs duties should be levied for
support Of Government economically administered,
and when so levied the fostering OF American labor,
manufacturing and Industries should be constantly held
In view
When this eloquent temperance orator took
to the woods in 1884 he was apparently con-
tent to scramble into the Prohibition cabin
and cast a vote for the protection Of home in
duStrcs and the abolition Of Internal Revenue
taxation, including "acOhols, liquors and to-
bacco." If he remains in the same party this
year he will again be forced to vote against
the whisllcy tax, for the Prohibition platform
declares for the immediate abolition of the
Internal Revenue system whereby our National
Government is deriving support from our
greatest National vice" Why, then, should
he rail at the Republican party for its advo-
cacy of protection and its practical scheme for
the reduction of the surplus by tariff revision
in the interest Of American industries by the
abolition Of taxes on tobacco and alcohol, and
in remote contingency, when all other ex-
pedients fail, by the discontinuance of the
whisley tax? Is it because free whiskey is
not favored Internationally and Immediate
ly"?
"The woods" are not a safe place for con-
scientious Republicans this year. The trees
branching over the by-paths bear too many
attractive signs pointing to the wayside 81
looms. These saloons are the headquarters of
the same Democracy which DR.. Cuyler was
wont in other days to denounce as the Free
Rum party.

HOME RULE AND FEDERATION


The Home Rule leaders have been en-
couraged by the recent Liberal successes in
by-ecctions to revise and enlarge the original
Gladstone scheme. Mr. Iarnell has made a
most important disclosure Of the new policy Of
the Nationalist and their English and Scotch
allies. The Irish members have consented to
the retention in the British Parliament Of a
body Of representatives from the island either
as large as The present delegation or a smaller
one. If this concession had beene made in
1886, during the last stage Of debate on the
Home Rule bill, the majority of 30 would
never have been recorded against the meas
ure- There were many irresolutc Liberals
who would have been satisfied if Mr.. Glad
stone had only consented to modify his scheme
so as not to exclude the Irish members from
Westminster. lie was infexible, and the
waverers finally turned against him. .Thc
break in the Liberal party followed, and the
Unionists carried the country. Consultations
between Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. PANEL have
now led to rcopening of the subject of Irish
representation. This important concession is
at last made to British sentiment. While the
separate Legislature at Dublin will Infer all
the inward grace Of self-government and Home
Rule, the retention Of the Irish delegation at
Westminster will be an outward sign of the
political incorporation of the island in the
United Kingdom
Two years ago two objections were raised
against this form Of settlement. The Irish
members declared that if they should retain
their legislative functions at Westminster, the
proceedings Of the Dublin Parliament would
constantly be brought under review by the
superior body, and Home Rule would become

There is reason TO believe that the project OF
widening Elm-st. has been pushed from motives
not altogether disnterested The necessity of an
additional wide street between Broadway and the
Bowery has, in our opinion, been an open qucs-
ton all along, and Mayor Hewitt now says that
lie is convinced that the region where relief is
most needed is on the west side Of Broadway.
SO it is proposed to widen College place from
Chambers-st. to Futon-st. making it, we suppose,
equal in width to West Broadway This will be
very different matter from the proposed Elm-st
Improvement and will be far less costly. Such
an experiment it would be reasonable to consider
seriously. There is to be public hearing on il
q fortnight hence.

The Convention Of the State Republican
league at Saratoga was extremely successful
There are now in the League ISL clubs Whlle
in the State as a whole 500 clubs have been
organized. Secretary Lehmaer's anqulnes
during the last three weeks show that between
$4,000 and 10000 Republicans arc enrolled
f. these organizations. To compare small
thing with great one, it may be said that the
entire number Of clubs represented in the re-
cent Democratic gathering to organize =" Ma
tional Association in imitation Of the Re-
publican National League was 100 less than
the number of Republican clubs in Newly ork

THB GREAT SWEDISH FIRES.
Three Flourishing Towns Destroyed
An Anarchist Plot Suspected

STOCKHOLM, June 27.-Sundsvall, Ume
and Lilla-E det, three flourishing towns with
respectively 10000, 5000 and 5000 inhabi-
tants, are today in ruins. The disasters oc-
curing within forty-eight hours in places
hundreds of miles distant aroused suspicion
Investigation gives strong ground for the be-
lief that the CONGREGATIONS are the work of
Anarchists. Sundsvall and Tine are situated
in the North of Sweden by the Gulf of Both
mia on the East Sea. Lilla-Edet is on the
Gotha Canal on the North Sea- Sundsvall and
Tine were two of the principal ports for the
export of lumber and Lilla-Edet an impor-
tant manufacturing place for paper Of
these fourishing towns only few houses re-
main standing. Churches. banks, post tele-
graph and railroad stations are in ruins. The
burnt towns were built in substantial man
ner, with broad streets and fine squares.
The King arrived while Sundsvall was
burning and en- route received dispatches
that ume, Lila Edet and big forests in diff
ferent parts of the country were also on fire.
1t was also telegraphed that Hernosand, one
of the principal towns of the North, was on
fire two hours after the fire started at Sunds-
vail and dozen hous including the post
Office, telegraph station and railroad depot
were consumed before the flames were under
control. Another despatch was also received
that the big forests of Ullanger, Nordenga,
and Bothnia were burning. In all some
10 900 persons have been left homeless.
The excitement in Sweden is intense, as it
is expected, with strong reason that the Tres
ire part of an Anarchist plot. On the 18th

prominent town of the North, was blown up
with dynamite. The police claim to have
inearthed a conspiracy to burn the principal
owns of Sweden, of which these fires are |
he forerunners. The result of the disasters |
will be that Socialistic and Anarchistic socie- |
les in Sweden. which up to this time have been
