1t looks as though most Of the lives lost in
the Springfield fire might have been saved
had the fire department been provided with
proper apparatus and been as efficient as it
should have been. AS it was there was no
ladder that would reach to the fifth story of
the building, and the crowd was allowed to
take possession of the street so as to inter-
fere with the firemen. A proper ladder will
probably be bought now and the department
subjected to some discipline.

The dependent pension bill passed by the
Senate is the bill generally endorsed by
Grand Army posts 1t closely resembles the
bill which the President vetoed last winter,
but there are some notifications to meet the
objections which the President raised in his
veto message. All the votes against the bill
came from ex-Confederates The fate of the
bill in the House is somewhat uncertain,
though the probability is that it will pass.

NEW PUBLICATIONS

The Story of Ireland, by the Hon. Emily
Lawless, is the last volume of the STORY of
the Nations" The book is opportune and
will be read with interest, as it gives in
spccinct and graphic form the prominent
features in the history of country, whose
misfortune it has been never to have at
tanned an Independent national exist
ence. and whose present heroic strug-
gle to acquire by peaceful and legiti-
mate means the right to control its own
internal affairs is exciting the sympathy and
admiration of the world.
The early history of Ireland is shrouded in
the mist of legend and tradition, and its his
tory for centuries is that of semi-civilized
and rude population broken up into antago-
nistic and contending clans, whose chief
tains acknowledged no supreme head, and
whose warning elements were cemented by
no strong central force, without which union
and good government are impossible. The
history of English rule in ireland is one
long page of injustice and tyranny,-injus-
tice so gross and tyranny so heartless as to
excite the wonder and indignation of the
reader. The treatment of Ireland by the
English nation is a story of conquest accom-
panied by long continued oppression and
misgoyernment; of a succession of viceroys
whose administration impoverished the coun-
try and wasted its resources; of legislative
domination which suppressed the national
aspirations, hampered the industrial devel-
opment and attempted to prescribe the
religion of its people. England used its
power not to introduce good government
into Ireland, but to confiscate the property
of its inhabitants. In place of wise laws and
salutary restrictions it set up arbitrary au-
thority and impossible government. This is
the story not of one generation but Of six
centuries of misrule, which has continued
down to our own day, for it was not until
1870 that monstrosity, irish Church es-
tablishment-was finally abolished. and the
evils of absentee landlordism and of sup
preston Of political rights still continue.
Englishmen have not cared to say much
about these things, and Irish history has
been little written for that reason. This
little book, written by lady, who extenuates
nothing but sets down naught in malice, and
who writes with sober judgment of one, who
has read and thought much ON the subject,
will prove of special value. 1t gives in COM
pact form what all want to know-the facts
of history without prejudice of distortion.

Emperor William is dead. Field Mar
shall Won Moltke and Bismarck still live,
but the former has reached an age
when lie can look forward to but few
years more Of life at most, while Bismarck's
physical iufrmities are serious and may end
his career at any moment. At best it can
be but few years before these two lieuten-
ants of the Emperor who made his reign the
distinguished one that it was and wrought
those changes which raised Germany from
loose confederation of States to an empire,
all things considered, the strongest in Eu-
rope, will have followed their chieftain, and
the direction of the empire will have to be
committed to new hands. Who is there wor-
thy to succeed these two men is question
which the German people have often asked
themselves, and are asking themselves to-
day more anxiously than ever. Soldiers the
empire has in abundance, and the question
as far as Won Motke is concerned, may not
be very difficult to answer But of states
men it has few The system that Bismarck
built up with the approval of the Emperor
has been fatal to the development of states
manship. There has been little chance for
its exercise and therefore little encourage
ment for its cultivation.

The Argus has begun to complain again
that the Republicans will not let the Demo-
Gratis pass tariff bill. The Democrats have
a working majority of the House, and can
pass any bill they may agree upon in spite of
the Republicans. This was true in the two
last Congresses. but no tariff bill was passed,
simply because the Democratic party could
not agree upon the kind of tariff bill that
ought to be passed. If they fail to pass a
tariff bill through THE present House it will
be for the same reason. The cry of Republic
can obstruction will hardly blind the public
to the incompetency of the Democratic
party.

Mayor Hewitt apparently is sufferer
from dyspepsia. On no other theory can
be explained his treatment Of the delega-
ton of lrishmen that called on him a
few days ago to invite him to review
the parade on st. Patrick's Day. In
stead OF courteously declining, he abused
them as if they had been gang OF thieves
that had invited him to a banquet in their
honor. The mentioning to him by the dele
cation that they were all Democrats he con-
strued as a threat, and proceeded to tell
them that he wasn't candidate for Presi-
dent or Governor or Mayor, aud didn't care
a straw about the Irish vote. The delega-
tion retired very much chagrined.

Outlooks on Society, Literature and Poll
tics. BY E. p. Whipple. Mr. Whipple was
pioneer in the species of writing now cult
waited by host Of writer's. Thirty years
ago tie number of men who could throw off
such essays as Whipple's were few and far
between. In tact, he was easily first in time
and excellence. He had read widely and
was specially versed in old English litera-
ture, and above ALL in the dramatists. His
style was equal to his learning, piquant,
clear and sparkling, Astounding in terse cpl
grams and humorous comparisons. or late
years the tribe has largely increased, but no
member of the literary guild has surpassed
Whipple as an agreeable, diyerting and in
structive essayist. The present volume is
made up of occasional articles which origin
ally appeared 10 different magazines and are
now for the first time collected in one vol
ume. Those who have not read them here
tofore will find them fresh and timely, while
former readers will be glad of an opportuni-
ty of meeting old friends in new dress.
