yer and judge, although he has not the hardihood to openly declare it, is the forci- ble deportation of Irishmen from their country. It is one thing when citizen of one country seeks another of his own vo- lition. It is quite another thing when he is cast out from his country for no fault of his own. To hold that person may be expatriated against his will merely because of his poverty is the equivalent of holding that human beings may be born into the world with no right to place for their feet on it's surface. Such a proposition is self condemned. It is abhorrent to even the crudest ideas of justice. When such a principle is advanced by the advocates of government it is proof presumptive that such government is rotten beyond redemp- ton. When it is adopted as line of poli- cy by government it is token that the only righteous end of that government is by the retributive hand of revolution.
 The true motive of England's hostility to Irish Home Rule is too well understood to- require much comment. It distinctly appears in Lord Bramwell's article. He says that it would result in the establish ment of "a separate State with good ports and harbors opposite to the entrance to the Clyde, and Glasgow, Liverpool, the British Channel, all the Channel ports and the Thames;;" and for this reason he contends that the Irishman shall be robbed of his birthright, the right of governing the land that he and his fathers have titled for a | thousand years. If the United States should apply to the British possessions in America the doctrine which England ap- plies to Ireland, that the nearness of alien and possibly hostile harbors is good reason for conquest, the British Possessions from Jamaica to the Bermudas and from there to Halifax, Toronto, Port Arthur and Vic toria would be conquered provinces of this country as soon as we could build navy | to take them.

LAND AND LIFE IN IRELAND.

We propose to-day to bring to close commentary on Lord Bramwell's paper in The Forum, so kindly sent us by our Scotch correspondent, prominent member of the Waterbury Burns Club. Concerning the principle of British legislation as bearing upon the reversion of the Irish lands to the tenants, a lawyer and a judge should not need any instruction. There may be limits to the scope of a juridical precedent; there are none to that of a principle embodied in Statute law. It is true that the Statute may, as a matter of expediency, aimit the operation of the principle as applied in a given case. But the legal righteousness of the principle itself is conceded the mo- ment it becomes the foundation of legis- lative act. British law has already recog- nized the right of the Irish tenant to an enforced annihilation of a portion of the rent of his holding. If a portion of the vested rights of the landowners can be justly and legally destroyed, why not the whole? If an aggravated condition of the Irish people justified the reduction of the rents to a lower scale by legal enactments, why should not the evidence of more aggravated condition require their further reduction even to nothing at all?
 We come now to the actual facts as set forth by Lord Bramwell And his state ment has at least the merit of brevity and directness. He says. that ''the miserable holdings of an acre or two in the west or southwest will not support their occupiers if given to them rent free"
 If this be true, how in the name of con- mon sense can these men pay rent Lord Bramwel protests against the transfer of the land to it's poverty-stricken tenants He has been lawyer and judge. Is it possible that he has never become aware of the axiom laid down by jurists, that ''The earth was designed to feed it's inhabitants and he who is in want of everything is not obliged to starve because all property is vested in others, and that extreme neces- sity revives the primitive communion, the abolition of which ought not to deprive any person of the necessities of life" The remedy proposed by Lord Bramwell, fo, what he terms the ''congested districts 2 is the diminution of the number of persons seeking living out of the land, a removal of the congestion, a consolidation of tbe holdings so they may afford living to the cultivators. He does not say that this diminution is to be brought about by war, pestilence or famine, although two of these have been potent factors in Irish history under English rule.
 The remedy implied by the British law.

WE had brief reference in our paper yes terday to the annual report of Fire Engin- ger Snagg; but we advisedly omitted one, and an important portion thereof. We did not like to qualify satisfactory exhib- it by the introduction of an unpleasant feature; and, besides, as an initiative was taken for remedy of the matter complained of, we reserved comment. Our Bremen deserve all the care and accommodations that the citizens can give them; and it will be admitted by the most economical on the score of City taxation that the condition of the Engine House of Phoenix No l. "dreary, dark and damp" with other un- pleasant surroundings-was not what the brave men who give time and labor and imperil their lives for our safety were en- titled to- The Fire Commissioners have, as we have suggested, taken the first step to improvement. The Common Council will be asked to purchase a site for new house recommended by the Commissioners. We hope that fred tape-ism' and "cir- cumlocution'' will not block the way in this as in other matters of public need and convenience. The immediate matter is to purchase the site proposed or some other one equally desirable; and then to begin immediately afterwards the business of erection. Let us give our protectors all the protection we can

ZEAL and labor and sacrifice for the pub- lie good by public officials are sometimes not more estimated than are the opposite at tributes of indifference and ineffective Our excellent local Postmaster, MT Con- merford, has just experienced little of carping criticism Actuated by desire for the due working of his department, he ar ranged special train service to points blockaded in regular mail accommodation by the storm, and this with the particular desire of facilitating the dispatch of regis tered letters. MT Commerford was him. self in charge of the extra work, he per formed it efficiently, but not all his indus try and all his success could save him from the sheer of Bridgeport fault-fnder. The postmaster's general discharge of his onerous duties entities him to all praise; and this last volunteer effort to save the public from inconvenience will but add to his claims

THIS February is the ninety-ninth an niversary of the Presidency of the United States. The first President, George Wash ington, acceded by right of merit, as well as by popular exclamation and formal election to the high dignity, Feb 1, 1799. There have been many chances and changes since; but we are now in the year and on the eve of changes that will more than any others solidify the interests of the country

The Press, of New York, replying to paragraph in the Telegram, saying that there is no duty on newspapers, asks: "Where is there better paper on earth for one cent than the Press. Now don't let your rank prejudices get the better of your honest judgment, and answer squarely." We regard this issue as sub mitted to the Democratic press generally; and we, for our part, exercising an honest judgment and speaking squarely, answer ''Nowhere The Press boxes it's corner in the Republican interests with faith and force and fervor, and all the greater credit to it for it's uncompromising party fidelity. The question is not, however, on political predelictions but on journalistic efficiency, and we unhesitatingly say that at one cent, or any number of cents, there is no more clean and courteous, neat and newsy paper than the Press.

THIS, the first of February, is considered in the old country the first day of Spring. Yesterday it was like Spring time in the geniality, but to-day we were down to zero again. There is one comfort we are every day nearing the time of "the daffodils that come before the swallows, come and take the winds of March with beauty"-and then whether it be comfort or not we shall gain on the time when we would almost wish for the cold again.

EVERY day brings us cable dispatches of new arrests in Ireland-members of Par lament, ordained ministers of God, pro- fessional gentlemen, traders and farmers are all gathered into Balfour's capacious net. Nothing that England denounced in Naples or Austrian Italy thirty years ago equaled in atrocity the doings of England in Ireland to-day. Then the English es- teemed the shame against humanity so great as to justify them in overturning op- pressive government. in violation of all obligations of international law and treaty; Englishmen by thousands focked to the standard of Garibaldi and Victor Emman- uel and the whole English-speaking world applauded their action-some in the idea of promoting national liberty, and some from the bigotted feeling of "more weight on the Papal government and influence. But now if Americans were to join in a crusade against the little Bombas in Ire land, English Tories would denounce their conduct as atrocious and murderous.

MIR Belmont of New York has presented to the House of Representative memo rial signed by David Dudley Field, An drew Carr egie, Abram $. Hewitt and others asking for the passage of joint res olution requesting the President to propose to the Government of Great Britain the making of a treaty between the two nations for a limited period at least, providing that in case difference should arise between them respecting the interpretation of any treaty or any claim of either under the es tablished law of nations, or respecting the boundary of their respective possessions, been committed by either nation upon the other, it shall be the earnest endeavor of both the contracting parties to accommo- date the difference by conciliatory negotia- tions; and that in no event shall either na- tion begin war against the other without first offering to submit the differences be- tween them to arbitration All very fine in statesmanship; perhaps, very com mendable, too, in view of the avoidance of war; but this is an outgrowth of Mayor Hewitt's speech at the Convention of Eng fish peripatetic peacemakers to which we referred in an early number. America has no need to go begging for peace to Eng land; and England, for reason she has had of old, will not be eager to precipitate fight.

The fire Of $3.50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing in Badwin's music store, on Main
street, opposite Court Square, did small
damage aside from that in the building in
which il originated,
Soon after the report closed, which APP
pcared in this paper yesterday morning,
the flames were cotton under control, and
the adjoining stores did not suffer injury
except from smoke and water. The loss
is fully covered by insurance on all of the
property except the music store, and upon
that it il difficult TO ascertain what the
loss really was.
1t IL, however, a fact that the Baldwin
building was completely Quilted, and the
contents Of the store, now converted into
ashes, is n mass OF blackened and WORTH
less trash. The building itself was all
wrecked and burned except the walls.
The storchouse was owned by stephen
Fmnsiola, whose loss Is fully covered
though in what insurance companies has
not been disclosed The Baldwin stock
had risks upon it OF $1,000 divided $1,000
| in the Imperial, Of London. and s., 800 in
| the Scottish Union, OF Edinburgh, Scot
land The lIenochsberg loss has not been
estimated. though various outside observ-
ers place il somewhere about - coo, more
or lcss. The adjacent stores OF Mr. Adler,
| Sol. Ncndig aud krcmers were slightly in
| jurcd, but few hundred dollars will cover
| the loss in each ease, and they are fully
insured. The Baldwin store was branch
OF the music concern of like firm name in
| Cincinnati.
Among the losers in the Baldwin blaze
was Prof. Wnklcr, the well known music
teacher. His library OF Sc looted music and
the scores written by himself for orchcs.
tras. etc, the labor Of years was burned
10 ashes. Many friends Of the unlucky
Professor will sympathize with him IN this
wholesale destruction Of his works, which
he priced beyond any intrinsic value they
may have possessed.
