Assailing the Ashbourne Act.

JOHN DILLON DECLARES THAT WITH COERCION IT
ISrENsIFIEs THE MISERY IT PRETENDs TO CURE.
In the house of commons last night, debating
the Ashbourne act, John Dillon said he hoped
the debate had resulted in waking up the tax
payers to the imminence Of the danger OF find
ing themselves committed to a scheme Of land
lord purchase without due guarantees 1t was
astounding to hear the tories speak with fervor
about the creation Of peasant proprietary, at
the same time charging the peasants with try
ing to Illustrate the measure which was directed
TO that end. Among the first principles of the
league stood the peasant proprietary. The
league aimed to procure such an alteration in
the law as would enable every occupant of the
land 70 become an owner. He said that he had
formerly spoken in favor of the Ashbourne act,
but it was when no coercion existed. With CO.
ercion the act was assisting the landlords to
raise the price OF land while it was breaking
up the combinations of the tenants He
must warn the English people that the day
might come when the national pro-
gram would include the reputation OF
| liabilities under the act. This position has
been forced upon the Irish people at the point
of the bayonet. 1t was absurd to say that the
existence Of arrears was not used to raise the
price of land, and it was equally untrue to
deny that coercion tended to raise the price by
crushing the power of the tenants to combine
The government was trying to reduce the ten
ants to the unprotected position held by them
in 1873. Such a course was cruel, dastardly,
mean. 1t might infiict more misery upon the
people, but they were welded to liberty and
were prepared TO make sacrifices to achieve it.
Lord George Hamilton, conservative, assailed
the Parnelites as opposing the BILL because
they were conscious that it would enable the
people to forsake the league yoke. Mr.. Glad
| stones amendment was rejected-330 to 246.
The motion to introduce the bill was agreed to.
The PGI Nal Gazette prints two-column
interview with Henry George, in which that
gentleman declares that the governments pur-
chase scheme will prove abortive as a measure
afording the relief its promoters pretend to be
seeking to confer upon the Irish tenants The
creation Of an army of small landlords will not
solve the problem, and the old system is certain
| to come back in a most aggravated form.
Mr.. George will remain in London a fort
! night, during which time he expects to deliver
several speeches having a direct bearing and
| doubtless exerting some influence upon the
| operation of the bill

The Next Senator from Michigan.

From the New York World
James Mcmillan, Of Detroit who is as good
as elected to the United States Senate from
Michigan, has been at the Windsor hotel for
several days. Mcmillan is about fifty years
old, has strong, clear-cut features and very
agreeable manners. Mr.. Mcmillan is estimated
to be worth els, 100000. Like Gen. Alger, he
started In lik poor. About the time the war
began he was the purchasing agent at Detroit
Tor several western railroads Then he began
building freight cars, and the demand FOR
them increased so rapidly that McMillan's firm
could not make cars fast enough. Their bust.
ness grew in proportion, and to-day they en-
ploy several thousand men and turn out sew
eral hundred cars daily. A little more than a
year ago MIR. Mcmillan was very much broken
up by the sudden death Of his oldest daughter
He resigned from the chairmanship Of the re.
publican state committee Of Michigan and
seemed to lose all interest in politics and bust
ness. He has since recovered from the shock
and was induced TO make the successful canvass
for the Senatorship.

Mr.. Maginnis' opinion on Statehood.

Minneapolis Star-News: Mart Maginnis,
of Montana, is on his way to Washington
to secure the admission OF that Territory
into the Union. To this end he favors the
Springer bill for an enabling act for Dako-
ia as one State, Montana. Washington and
New Mexico to be voted on by the people
next summer, and the Territories to be
brought in next winter during the second
term OF the present Congress. Mr.. Magin-
mis- thinks it is useless to attempt to secure
admission in time to vote at the ensuing
Presidential election. He says: 1t is use
less for the people OF Dakota to expect
that they will be allowed to divide
their Territory, and holding off for such an
object will only have the effect Of imped-
ing necessary legislation for the other Ter
%ritories. There is no objection that l can
see to having four States created at once
u it should be the purpose OF every man
who has the material interests of this por-
ton OF the United States at heart to go in
with a will and help to increase the number
Of Western States. All four Territories
that have named possess the requisite
population and to fit them for
admission, and it is sheer folly
for the Dakotans to be holding off for a
OF their Territory. Besides, at
the last election held, while there was an
apparent majority in favor of division, as
a matter of fact not a third Of the voters
went to the polls" Mart's head is level, as
usual.

TAKES MUST BE REDE CED.

II Henry Watterson is reported correctly
in his speech at the Tariff Reform Club
banquet OF Saturday. there will be no I'M
certain sound in the platform of the next
Democratic CoEvet ton on the subject of
revenue reform. 1t is more than probable,
too. that the reformers il Congress may be
able before then by united effort tt give
the country the needed reduction of the
revenue in relieving n~ecessaries from over
taxation. In the lines laid down by the
Presidents message the way is pointed out
for a reduction that shall relieve necessar-
les while amply protecting the industries
that afford occupation to the workman.
The reduction OF tie surplus and relief
from the burden of unnecessary taxation
are prominent features evenin the patiunal
platform enunciated by the Republican
party at the last election, and the Presi-
dents message might have taken the sec
tions in which those are urg. d as its text.
When Senator Dawes, one Of the most
prominent Republicans in Congress-, adj
dressed the pape" manufacturers in Sara
toga last umIner he said: whether the
tariff be fer revenue only or for protection
and revenue, it can provide for no more
revenue than the just require
ments of public expenditures.
Beyond this it cannot go. The revenue
to-day greatly exceeds the expenditures,
and has so exceeded them for a long time. |
