Speech by the British Premier.

Lord Salisbury, speaking in Liverpool,
said the Gladstonians relied upon the con.
vction that Ireland was ungovernable,
and directed their policy toward securing
the fultillment of that imagination. Glad:
stone had said new crimes had been added
to the statute book. The highest legal
authorities had assured him Salisbury
that in their opinion the crimes
act was definite application OF law com.
mon to England and all countries where
law prevailed. Gladstone had prophesied
that the conservatives would eventually
give homo rule to Ireland, their defense OF
the union being insincere. Let Gladstone
consider the spirit Of the Unionists. many OF
whom sank every party and personal con-
sideration to preserve the country against
Gladstonism. Never wac the principle of
national union more sincerely held. The
Unionists were convinced that Ireland
would sooner or later become thoroughly
consolidated with Great Britain, and
peacefully and prosperously exist under the
same legislature and laws. paying the
same respect to law and in the
enjoyment of equal liberty. VacilIa.
ton was the great crime OF England
could be OF any avail unless it showed
that it could govern resolutely. He de-
clared himself a free trader still on princi.
pie. but said there were many things in the
fiscal system contrary to Tree trade. FIX.
perience tended to show the free trade
theory had been carried too far or misap-
piled, and some reaction was probable.
The sugar question was an
instance OF the hurtful OPP
GRAFTON OF indiscriminate free trade. The
agricultural question was a more difficult
subject. but it must be admitted that the
interests of producers and consumers in
the productions OF English aoil. bound
by one common interest, must stand
or fall together. He returned to the
Irish question and appealed
to England to maintain the Union He
was convinced that those who thought the
next general election would upset Union
ism, utterly misIead the sentiments OF
English democracy. Lord Salisbury spoke
in circus, which was crowded by On au-
dience Of 5000. A prominent feature Of
the speech was the dubious utterance re.
gardins free trade, due to the fact that
Liverpool is the strongest center of thefair
trade movement.

ley in 1868, and that the mode OF con.

On Christmas Eve there arrived at
New York steamer called the Cha
teau Leoville, having on hoard a par
ty OF forty two Arabs, would. be i'm.
migrants to the United States. Dis
tinct evidences of pauperism were
furnished in tho appearance OF these
people. One report described them a.
very poorly clad and dirty and with.
out money. Another says: 'They
are the dirtiest batch of immigrants
brought to Castle Garden in years,
and they have not $25 among them"
With such evidence as this before him.
the collector pronounced against the
admission OF the Arabs, and decided
that the steamship company must
carry them back. This tho company
was unwilling to do. and its agents
laid before the collector afidavits
from. twenty.eight of the Arabs, in
which each swore that he possesses
from fifty to hundred dollars cash,
and that he is q skilled artisan, such
- . blacksmith, carpenter or mason.
The company further bound itself in
the sum OF $4,000 to provide for
tho support of any Of the immigrants
who.should become a public charge
within twelve months. On the strength
OF this the Arabs were permitted to
land. One year ago, the same steam.
or brought over another. cargo OF
Arabs, which were not permitted to
land in New York, and were carried to
st. John. N. B., and in a teY weeks
made their way through Canada to
New York !.

Congressional Autobiographies.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: 1t is
we'll known that the senator's and congress-
men write their own biographies that ap-
pear in the Congressional Directory. This
fact makes them all the more interesting.
The statesmen are allowed in general
way to say what they please, but there
are instances where the compiler of'the
Thorough pruning. One Arkansas con.
gresham wrote in answer to the
usual request what would have filed q
dozen pages OF the directory. He gave tho
full history OF his and his wife's families,
the characteristics OF his children, the
names OF the husbands and wives and
children OF those married, and introduced
several illustrated sketches OF incidents in
bear and bee and coon hunting. He intro.
second oldest son, gave the names OF two
young Fellows, rivals for the hand of one of
his daughter named "Pink," and described
the distress he was suffering over the Ques-
ton OF which she would choose. The com.
pier cut the typography" down to eighty
lines. A Kentucky congressman in his hi.
ography described a stock farm owned by
him, named the horses, gave their pedi-
grees, records and prices. Another Ken.
tuckian mentioned among other events Of
his eventful life, the number of fights no
had been in, and gave descriptions OF
two. in each of which he had killed a man.
and gave the names of the
men he had slaughtered. One Ohio man
gave the number OF sheep he owned, the
fluctuations in the prices OF wool in an
elaborate table, and introduced a strong
protest against a reduction of the duty on
wool. all OF which was sacrificed A con-
gresham from Iowa sent in his biogra ply
in verse, and very bad verse;, too. An
other from the same state stated that he
was living separate from his wife, but, in
detailed statement, laid all the blame
upon her, and appealed to his brother
congressman to overlook the matter, and
to the speaker not to allow himself to be
influenced by it in assigning him to com.
mittees.

German is to be eliminated from the
course of study in the public schools
OF St. Louis as the result OF the cleo
tions for members of the School
Board in that city two months ago,
when the question was made an issue.
A large majority of the members then
elected are opposed to the teaching OF
German or any other language than
that OF America in the public schools,
ard now the committee OF the Board
of Education has been reported in
favor of its being dropped at the end
OF the present year. The report will
be adopted beyond a doubt.
