A Bitter Feeling Towards Her Aroused
Among the irish Because of Her Re
cent Contribution TO the Constabulary
Fund.
LONDON, Aug H. Many are the com
ment5 that followed the Queens act of
contributing go to the Irish Constabulary
fund. The Liberal journals deprecate the
gift and consider that it will have a bad
effect upon the Irish in general, as
it accentuates in disagreeable man
ner where the Queens sympathie5 are
placed 1t also contrasts. in an IN
pleasant manner, her feelings toward
"a people who would be loyal to her if they
could, and the very different feelings she
entertains for the men who hound the
Irish peasants from their homes and living
The Irish Nationalist journals take up the
subject and comment upon il with extreme
bitterness. One says that the fact in itself
would be as insignificant as the sum, were
it not for the unmistakable Indication that
the gift affords of the amount of affection
with which the Queen regards her Irish
subjects. The same paper continues:
''Her good woman's heart that has been SC
loudly vauated has not been touched by the
poverty, the want and the piteous struggles
OF the Irish who have been driven from taeiI
homes by English landlords. The m sery OF
thousands of a Nation, which has largely con
tributed to her security and greatness has not
impel.ed her TO turn in compassion ard sym
PATTY towards them or seek their relief 10y SC
much as word of comfort. On the contrary the
sovereign has seized the opportunity Of insult
ing the Irish and haunting them in their dis
tress by lending her aid to those who in the
pay OF her Government, assist in robbng the
irish"
Other papers declare that the Irish only
need the love and sympathy which the
Queen has willingly bestowed upon other
parts of her kingdom to make them the
most loyal of her subjects The gift has
caused a great deal of feeling, and a more
inopportune time when daily evlctions
are being carried on and Ireland's dis.
tress is increasing, could not have been
chosen for such an act

LOOKING TWO WAYS.

the southern Brigadiers.

CIeVeIand's Nauseating Subservieney to
the Southern Brigadiers.
Mr.. Cleveland hypocrisy has been
shown in many ways, but in none more
strikingly than in his trucking sub
servlency to the brigadiers. who by
fraud and force in the Congressional
elections of the Southern States have
managed to secure control of the
House and with it the power to die
tate the policies Of the Democratic
party.
When he was nominated in 1884, Mr..
Cleveland took occasion in his letter
of acceptance TO say that a second
term should not be given to any Presi-
dent. because the desire for a renomi-
nation and "A reelection would tempt
the incumbent Of that Office to use the
patronage and power of the admins
tration 20 aid his ambition to become
his own successor.
In many subsequent public utter
ances during the first two years of his
present tenn, Mr.. Cleveland took occa-
sion to delounce all participation in
politics On the part of officials as
dangerc- 5 to our form of government
and detrimental to the public service.
But since he resolved to force him
self on his party for denomination he
has changed his tune, and for more
than a year past be has more openly
and more persistently made use Of his
official position To aid his political as
pirations than any previ Gus President
ever did.
All his appointments to Office during
the last eighteen months have been de-
signed to promote his chances Of re
nomination. and there is no room 10
doubt that his adoption of the ex-
ploded Calhoun policy Of free trade
was solely designed to secure the sup
port Of the brigadiers in the National
convention.

the administration for many months,
and that policy has been pursued so re-
I lentlessly that when the Mills bin

/ Is a weu-known fact that a majority
Of the Democrats in every Northern

neighbors, are wholly opposed to the

tive measure.
What a mockery If Is TO talk about
( the enforcement of the Civu-Service
law in the case of petty clerks when
the head Of the administratioa and all
his chief appointees are using all the
power and patronage Of their official
positions to gain votes for the Demo
cratic ticket in the coming election.

for a hypocrite. and they will not in
