RTDDJNG FOK IRISH VOTES.

London journals not long ago were descrlb-
ing Lord Sackvile's dismissal contemptuously
as vulgar bid for Irish votes Such episodes,
they affirmed, as the affront to the British
Minister and the rejection of the Fisheries
Treaty illustrated the degradation of American
politics. They are less outSpoken in discussing
the enforced resignation Of Sir ii. a. Blake,
who was recently appointed Governor OF
Queensland This is pity, for their favorlte
Irish moral can be applied to that incident
with greater emphasis emphasis and directness
than to the American cases. Sir II. a. Blake
is an Irishman who does not advocate Home
Rule, and is in sympathy with the landownng
classes of the island. This rendered him OBJ
jectonable to the Irish contingent of the pop
ulation of Queensland. The Government Of
the Colony, being anxious to concliate large
political constituency, protested vigorously
against the appointment. The Salisbury Min
istry. after futile efforts to uphold the pre-
negatives Of the Crown, has gladly accepted
the Governors resignation and appointed Sir
Henry Norman to the post. The Home Govern
ment meekly submitted to an open alfront and
TO a direct challenge Of its Imperial authority.
The Queensland authorities in insisting upon
having this concession made to their Irish vote
have profted by the example Of both political
parties in England. Three years ago the Con-
servative Ministry formed an alliance with the
Parnellites and did every thing in their power

TILE REGGING SEASON.

The begging season is upon With the be-
ginning of cold weather the bcggars appear in
greater numbers upon the streets Of our cities,
and crimes of violence are reported from various
parts of the country, showing that tramps are
numerous and bold. The temptation to give to
beggars in the streets is almost irresistible to
warm hearted person. 1t is very hard to turn
away from the wan, pinched face, perhaps blue
with cold, to be deaf TO the murmured words OF
appeal and to leave the outstretched hand empty.
The impulse is all the more powerful at the
THANKSGIVING season, when the man who is well
warmed, we'll clothed and we'll fed pities the
Door wretch who shivcrs at his side and asks for
charity.
1t may seem especially ungracious at such
time to say anything that will check kindly in
tentons yet the painful fact is that the street
beggar who is not an impostor in the sense OF
being unworthy of relief, is an exception and not
the rule The Charity Organization Society of
this city has made special effort to break up
street begging and reports its progress every year
During last year it. dealt with 1872 street beggars
"a small army OF these o., or So per cent were
apparently able-boded. 1t was found that 207
lived in vicious lodnngf ouses, 90 gave false adj
dresses and IL refused their addresses altOg ther
IT, was discovered that over per cent of the
whole number had ample means, and only
ner cent were what coulC be called worthy 1heS,
latter were, it is said, simply alms-housc cases,
who ought not to have been upon the streets,
and were legitimate objects Of public care. one
hundred and fifteen, nearly onc-tbrd or the
whole number, were arrested and committed
The report of the society for the year before
shows almost exactly the same results. During
nine months 7Oi street boggars were dealt WITH
and the surprising fact is recorded that over %
DER cent of this great number had ample means
and that less than II per cent could be deemed
worthy. These were also ams-houSe cases IKE
those lust noted. No less than 200 were arrested
ard committed or again nearly one-third OF the
whole number.
The PROPORTION of fraud seems much greater
in strcet-hcgging than in any other form oil APP
pcas for charity The statistics of numerous
societies show this, and there are obvious reasons
why it should be so. The best way for charltaoy
disposed persons who dislike to feel that they may
be turning away from the exceptional deserving
case will be to connect themselves with the
Charity Organization Society, and refer all APP
pcants TO il.

"LoHENGRIN, AT THE OPERA HOUSE.


Tho second night of the German opera at the
Metropolitan Opera House brought wagner's Lohen-
grim TO the front IL is the opera that, much
than its predecessor "Tannhaeuser," represents that
phase Of Magnetism which has won almost universal
approval. The choice of It to open the wagncran
list might therefore be down wise by those who
laboring under the impression that a factional
strife OF great vruency Is raging among the opera
goers in NewYork on the question of Magnetism.
To those wiser and better observers who know that
such strife Is but the Pigment OF diseased magma

Inc minor OPERA houses Of Germany, suddenly came

Home Rule London journals are in the habit
of reading cynical lectures TO Americans on
their chronic solicitude for the Irish vote; but
these homilies come with poor grace from
country whose political parties in recent years
have been competing openly for Nationalist
support. The Queensland Government. in re-
specting the prejudices of its Irish supporters
and ostentatiously counting their favor, has
adhered closely to the tactics of Conservatives
and Liberals in the last two elections.
The success of this demonstration against
Sir II. A. Blake may embolden the Colonies to
encroach still further upon the prerogatives of
the Crown. If they can veto the appointment
of Governor on the ground that he is not
Home Ruler in English politics, they may as
well be allowed to nominate their own can
didate. This is what some Of the Colonies
would like to do, since they hold that they
know what kind of official they want, whereas
the Colonial Office is only bent upon advancing
the political fortunes Of some favorite or par
tisan. What will become of the traditions of
Imperial control and supremacy if these AFRO
CANT notions are suffered to pass unrebuked

THE BROADWAF RAILROAD DECISION.

There is nothing to be surprised about in
the decision of the Court of Appeals denying
the constitutonaity Of the legislation by which
it was sought to return to the city the consents
it had given TO Jacob Sharp and his crowd
10 run street railroad through Broadway. The
court says what everybody can understand.
that the Legislature has the power to take
away from the company whatever the LegiS-
ature gave it but it cannot take away any
thing else except by due process of law; the
franchise, that is, the right to operate the road
was obtained from the City of New ork, not
from the Legislature, and obtained. So far as

The melancholy farce which has dawn thou
sands of people to the Madison Square Garden
during the week will come to an end this even
ing. What it is that makes this exhibition OF
walking so attractive it is impossible for any
sensible man to conceive. There is lkeh-
hood that the "Iecordo will be broken and
that, we suppose, means another walking
match' at no distant day. From the point of
view of the gatemOney," the present match
has outdone all its recent predecessors. SO
long as men are willing to pay for seeing such
wretched traveSties on sport walking matches
will probably continue, unless the law shall
step in to put an end to them. They certainly
serve no useful OF desirable purpose.
The report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will arouse peculiar interest at this
time, in view of the relations between the
trunk lines and the proposal for establishing
a clearing house for the railroads west OF the
Mississippi River The Commissions second
report takes less sanguine view OF railway
matters in general than the report OF year
ago, which covered the first eight months of
the Commissions work, and it is written in
somewhat less confident tone Considerable
is said in regard to the necessity of establish
ing better relations between the various rail-
ways, but the Commission confesses that it has
no practical suggestion to offer this point.
The recommendations to Congress are not
sweeping or radical. While the Interstate
Commerce law has been productive Of no little
benefit to the public, it is likely that important
changes in it will be required before long
II is pleasure to commend the work Of the
American Association for the Advancement Of
Physical Education, which held its fourth an
nual meeting in this city yesterday. The sug-
gestions made in regard to the necessity OF
physical exercise and the need of wise direc-
ton in the character and amount of such eXer-
else were rich in saving common sense"
Artificial use of the muscles is not sufficient,
whether in a gymnasium in exercise else
where. One should know what form of exer-
else to indulge in and how far to carry il.
The purpose of this association may be summed
up by saying that it aims at making vigorous
and healthy men and women rather than the

There seems to be no room for doubt that
the fire in the Calumet and Hecla mine was
caused by an incendiary. Curiously enough
a fire broke out in the same mine on Thanks
giving Day last year and caused serious dam
age, besides stopping work for several weeks
BY the latest fire eight men met their death,
and large number narrowly escaped from the
perilous situation in which they found them
selves. There is no clew to the incendlary as
vet but it is to be hoped that no effort will be
spared to discover and adequately punish him.
The spirit that would lead to the commission
of such dastardy crime is that OF the Anarch-
list or Nihilist, whose chosen weapon is the
dynamite bomb.
