Cspyrtoht. 1881 BV The Ne,o- York Trfbnn,
Jo~,os Feb ,I-Thc release of Messrs. Gra-
ham and Burns from prison has been followed by
scenes and speeches which once more exhibit
Radicals on the down grade, as Mr.. Spurgeoh
would say Mr. Burns's first proposal Is TO de-
molish Pentonvie Prison, Bastile fashion, ineh
Mr. Stead's Law and Liberty League arranged a
demonstration last night, largely attenoeo ny

O,Rrien and Professor Stuart Mr.. Davitt talked
rank Socialism including the exemption OF inc
working classes from all taxation, and the state
20 s,nplv the unemployed with work. Mr.. O'Bricn
obser, cd that honest men, seeking to expose their
grievances in Trafalgar Square, had been blud-
Qeontd d. ridden down and beaten to death In the
interest of West End snobs
Professor Stuart declared that confidence in the
poljce had been shattered and that legislation
must in future secure not only enjoyment OF
property, but fair division of property. lhs
piece Of pure Anarchism was loudly cheered'
Professor Stuarts chief importance consists in his
known TO be close This It probably is which leads
~Tbe Times. to remark that Mr.. Gladstone's
speech last week in spite of all artistic reserves
and subtleties was put last night into paln
words by the less cautious revolutonists whose
leader he has become and who are determined 10
fuse together the revolutionary movements IN
England and Ireland Perhaps " The Times
puts it too strongly. But Mr.. Gadstone's ap-
proval more or less qualified, of TIE Plan OF
Campaign has certainly startled moderate men IN
all parties Nor is that the only part OF the
speech which startled them.
The elation of the Home Rulers over their sue
cessive victories at Southwark and Edinburgh is
loudly expressed; perhaps too loudly. They re-
gard Mr. Buchanan's reelection in West Edin-
burgh as a splendid victory The Tories reply
that Mr.. Buchanan, elected as Unlonlst by ooo
majority, managed to escape defeat as Home
Ruler by 46. He behaved honOrably in resgning
and many friends support him for that reason
On the other hand West Edinburgh is the resi-
Dental quarter of the city where almost every
man Of social position is Unionlst MIR. Buchanan
is rather an anti-Coercionist than Home
Ruler But the fact remains that the Scottlsh
Union,sts, with all the powerful help OF Inc
Scotsman" have failed to carry the strongest
Unionist division of the city where union prln-
cipes are strongest in Scotland
Sir Henry Holland has accepted his peerage, ana
ugly names being in fashion, 1T is reported that
he will take the title of Baron knutsford' OF
Knutsford He will be missed from the House OF
Commons, where was popular ana respected
though not frequent speaker. Nobody has
word to say against what is called his elevation
TO the Chamber of Peers, though few understand
why an able man with a safe seat in the House
of Commons should care to quit the assembly
ob ba of authority,
of the strong men in the Lords would rejoice to
be able to descend to the Commons.
Other Ministerial arrangements have Deen
carried out according to the scheme before teIe-
graphed.
Count Cortis death grieves not few people
In London. where he had SO long been popular
and efficient Ambassador 1t is privately SAID That
his removal killed him, effected as it was In q
manner which made removal a disgrace Slgnor
Crispi has been censured for what was thought d
slight on an old political opponent.
The true story now comes out in the guse OF
a def,nce of Count Corti by NJ. Blowltz. Inc
cause of his removal really dates back TO the
Congress of Berlin, where Count Corti refused
either to take Tunis for Italy or to secure IL
against being taken by France His remark at
the time became historical, that Italy should not
on her first appearance great Power hold out
her hat to Europe. This sensitiveness cost his
country much and has never been forgiven But
the publication Of the facts now is less Vlhdl-
cation of Count Corti than justification OF Slgnor
Crispi.
John L. Sullivan may now boast OF having oc-
cu1icd the attention OF Parliament. Ills name
was not mentioned, but everybody knew wfat
Mr. Howell had in mind when questioning the
Home Secretary about the coming light between
Sullivan and Mitchell. MIR. Matthews, of course,
said that the Government would do their best TO
prevent breach of law, and thought that the
publication of the challenges might be illegal Inc
sporing press takes further notice OF this than
90 publish what Mr. Matthews said under the head
ing The Ring" and follow it with an elaborate
account Of Sullivan in training.
Interest in a form of sport less questionable
than prize fighting is equally the increase
The billiard world is excited by challenge from
Roberts the champion, TO give any player III the
world ten thousand in twenty, spot barred. This
is not yet accepted. but is discussed through
whole column in /" The Standard Other i'm
portant matches for $4,000 are settled between
Roberts and Peall and third between Roberts
and Mitchell.
II is reported that Miss Mary Anderson, emulous
of Mr. Wyndham's fame, intends to play III Ger
MANY before returning to America next August
Her Lyeeum Theatre season ends March "a, this
actress being too good a Catholic TO play in
Passion Week.
Mr. Wyndham and Miss Mary Moore fresh from
their MuScovite conqucsts, reopen IN Davld
Garricln at the Criterion Theatre on Saturday
