OF Mr.. VIM. II. Martin Representative
from Texas, The Missouri Republican" tells
that he became major in the rebel army and
in several important engagements commanded
his regiment, the tth Texas Cavalry On
one occasion toward the close of the war,
while a desperate battle was in progress,
General Lee became discouraged and placed
himself at the head of "A brigade to lead a
charge. The troops refused to follow him,
aud one tall. lauk officer grasped the
bride of the Generals horse and
ordered him to the rcar, saying that the
charge would be made When he went to the
rear. but not before General Lee, with tears
in his eyes, obeyed the command of the tall
cavalryman and silently went to the rear.
Then the brigade charged and carried the
point at issue. William II. Martin is said to
have been the tall cavalryman who turned
General Lees horse to the rear and ordered
his commander to retire.

There is now not a place in the United States

Local Government in England

The new bill now before the British
House Of Commons il "A decidedly radical
reform measure, which, if it should pass
into law, would be more sweeping in
it, influence than would be the adoption
Of Rosebery's motion in the House Of
Lords The bill provides for system Of
county governments for England and
Wales, and may be regarded justly as IA
Democratic measure, giving to the people
the management of their local affairs to a
degree that but Yesterday would have
filed Tory and Wing lords with utter
establishment, if not with horror 1t Is
true, ireland and Scotland are not in
cIuded in this scheme of local -elf-govern-
ment. but the London Times deems it
fitting to say that ''the principle Of the
bill will probably be extended next year
to Scotland, and the unionists will be de-
lighted to recognize the possibility of
giving similar institutions to Ireland as
soon a. the mass of the Irish people show
Themselves fit for them"
Possibly the Liberals and Home Rulers
will find in this inyideous limitation of the
bill reasons for opposing it, which would
not be wise. For local self-government
having once been granted by the British
House of Commons to the people of Eng
land and Wales, the boon could not be
long withheld from those of Ireland and
of Scotland. Even Tory prejudice com
bined with Wing stupidity and race
luminosity could not successfully resist the
logic of events and the instincts of faii
play. The measure proposes to divide the
country into city and rural districts OF
counties.
Each county will have council electeC
directly by the rate payers These
councils will have control of th'
county police, water-works, markets
sanitation, work houses, industrial schools
and the liquor trade. The local govern
ment board ut Westminster will audit al
the accounts Of the counties and regulate
the borrowing of money. If the measure
becomes u law and these councils elected b,
taxpayers are formed, the deman,
will soon be made for a more complete,
control over local finances. There is M
doubt that part of the Tory leaders anc
the Harrington Mugwunps have been in
duccd to bring forward this measure o
local political reform as q means of sweet
ing and carrying forward their force ef
forts in ireland. But they may be caugh
in the tolls of their own craftincSs. The,
will wrestlc in vain against fate and tn
future. Lcgalihcd injustice and oppres
sion in Ireland must die. for at no diStan
date the democracy of England, scotland
aud Ireland will be united on a line %

The Rutland Herald is one of the lead
ing Republican papers of Vermont. II
was opposed to the nomination of Mr..
Blaine in 1881, and its present editor has
never been among those who have had a
preference for the Maine statesman, But
in its issue of Saturday last, its leading
editorial was headed, SIT MAY BE BLAINE,
which, after candidly passing in review
the candidates talked of, says:
Several of the independent papers are out
with fresh batch of anti-Blaiue editorials
They do not abuse him this time but on the
contrary, take the ground that under no cir
cumstances can he now become candidate
with honor, and they believe he will not.
Apparently they have a new sense of his
honor, for which we should all be duly
thankful.
But they are altogether mistaken in saving
that he could not honorably accept. As a
seeker for the office he has withdrawn. So
far as he is concerned the field is as clear
as though he was not living. There is
no man at work for him. no literary bureau
spreading campaign documents in his behalf.
All aspirants have an uuobstructed oppor-
tunity to develop their strength and harmon
ixe the party. They are trying to do it, and
il is the earnest wish of all good Republicans
that the party may unite upon some one of
them or upon some other.
But at present Sherman. Allison, Harrison,
Depew and Lincoln may he said to have about
equal strength, Ii the situation is not es-
sentially changed when the convention meets
there will be great difficulty in making a
choice. The convention may find it neces-
sary or think it best TO look for dark horse
They could take an unknown man or they
could take the best known man, and har-
monize upon either.
Suppose they should prefer the latter and
take Mr.. Blaine, assuring him that the dele
gates feel it TO be his duty to accept is there
any reason in the world except considera-
tons of his own case, why he should not
accept?
We see none whatever. Ii would be diff
ferent if he were TO play for such a result.
Then il might be said that he trified with
honor, truth and his party. But there is no
danger of that. He is sincere He is out of
the race because he prefers to be- But he
does not control the party, The party is going
to make its own choice, and if the choice
lights on him it will be his highest duty to
obey the call"

Even the Boston Herald, whose de-
mocracy il of the most pronounced type.
ultra Free 'Prade in its dogmatism, is able
to see that it il not safe for the Clevelandites
to oppose the removal of the sugar duty.
It is plain, practical proposition to re-
ducc the revenue to the extent Of nearly
$50, 200, 900 per annum, disturbing no great
national industry and cheapening an article
used by all the families of the land. The
Herald says:
In order to give to the Louisiana sugar
growers a market amounting to Sl5 900 O0
per annum, the American people pay in taxes
to the government $50 ,OOO, 900, and in tax
to the combined sugar retiners about S20, 000,-
600. Isn't this paying pretty dear, especially
since with a surplus revenue of more than
$50 900, 900, we could afford to put sugar
upon the free list
