uo,up RuIp for England.

The Significance Of what Is called the luc u
government hill Just introduced int the
house Of commons by Mr. Ritchie is not
fully understood, Coming as II does from
the tory side of the house and from the
president Of the local government hOdri
1t might without improperly h, called II bill
toestablish home rule in England. 1t marks
the most radical step yet proposed to be
taken 10y any great party IN England toward
the control Of local affairs by the people.
It provides. in fact, for local self govern
mcnt about as we understand II in this
country. It makes the city OF London II
county by itself, and its control put IN the
hands Of the people; whereas in the past
nearly all the London officials have been ap-
pointed hy the crown or the general govern
mcni, and the city was under some such rule
as we have here In the District Of Columbia.
What it means to break up system liz

system that has been in existence for many
generations. aud especially where people are

thcNstablishcd way Of doing things rs the
English. can hardly he comprehcndcl at
this distance.
II is not to he wondered at that Mr
Ritches hill Is provoking u very hot dis
cusson, for while it goes into parliameni
| backed by the strongest elements in tn,
tory party, and while II will probably b.
! supported by the liberals as Il movemen
toward reform for which they have lonl
contcnded, It will find many fierce oppO
ncmts among those who wish u save TN
monarchy,
MIR. Gladstone must take peculiar pleas
urc in seeing this triumph Of doctrine o
which hc has been so illustrious an advocate
and which he has made such cndcavors t.
have applied to Ireland. To wiring such
confession of the truth of his views iron
the party that has so bitterly opposed ant
maligned him is an honor that few states
men have enjoyed, but one that the lover
of rcpublicanism all over the world no les
gladly accord to Mr. Gladstone. If Eng
land has local self-govcrnment Scotlun
and Wales will have It, too, and by and b.
Ireland will have it., and then the trump
of Mr.. Gladstone will be complete.
But there is an influence behind this rC
markable movement that is higher an
greater and more powerful than that of an
one man. It is the influence Of republica
government as illustrated by the Unite
States. The form of government establishc
in this country, and now but century old
is the most effective lberalzng agency c
which history gives any account, and M

is large increase in the volume Of counter
felt coin and notes afoat in the country by
reason of the recent removal of James j.
Brooks from the management Of the secret
service.
Indeed this result is already maniiesting
itself. It is now over two months since
counterfeit fiye.dollar silver certificate came
out, and although il has been widely circu-
lated and in manner showing the utter
rccklessness Of those doing the work, the
perpetrators have not yet been found. And
now comes the report from Chicago that
fully fifty thousand dollars Of counterfeit
notes are circulating in that CITY alone.
Mr.. Brooks was most efficient officer,
many years at the head of the secret service.
His long career and well-known reputation
for fearless and successful work as detec-
tive was Of itself q check on criminals,
especially the older and more dangerous
