FIGHTING THE AsHBOURNE ACT.
The Radicals and Parnellites Make a
Little Headway.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-The radicals scored a sue
cess in insisting upon division ON the second
reading of the Ashbourne bill MIR. Gladstone
abstained from voting, and the liberal whips
refused to become tellers, this duty devolving
upon Messrs. Labouchere and Bradlaugh
Nevertheless the government, instead of in
creasing its majority, had it reduced. OF the
two liberals who recently voted against their
party, one only, Sir Z. Grey, voted with the
government. Mr.. Haldane was absent. La
committee Mr.. John Morley will move for the
quarterly report, giving the fullest particulars
OF applications granted. with the names of the
applicants and the amounts advanced and the
applicants refused. Mr.. Lefevre proposes that
advances shall not exceed f2.000, and that
there shall be no advance unless the tenant has
occupied his farm for five years. Mr. Healy is
ANXIOUS to prevent advances in cases where
legal proceedings are pending between land
lord and tenant and to have it clearly estab-
lished that the tenant applies of his own free
will. He further suggests that a return such
as Mr.. Morley proposes be issued monthly by
the commissioners in the Gdzette.

THE PENALTY OF SUCCESS.
Congressman Taking Their
Turn at Persecution by Of1ice-Seekers.

During their four years Of minority expert
ence the republican Senators and Representa-
tives had one solid consolation, they were not
annoyed by Office-seekers. Now they are be-
ginning to pay the penalty of success. Since
the 9Th of November the mail of nearly every
republican congressman has increased three or
four times its ordinary volume. The increase
may be credited almost entirely to men who
want to be remembered by the incoming ad-
ministration, and will hold their members
accountable for their private interests.
A STAR reporter came across a republican
representative yesterday with pile of several
hundred letters before him. As he read the
last one he turned about in his chair with a
sigh. 'More than two-thirds of them," he
said, ''are from men who want Office. dom t
know what we shall do, unless we make clean
sweep. This patronage is terrible thing"
Then he went off to dictate responses to his
stenographer.
Congressman are receiving demands for Of
fee in every grade of the public service, and if
they do one-half the hustling that is asked of
them they will not have much time to waste on
the tariff or any other public questions in Con-
gress. Individually they are beginning al
ready to think that the most serious response
bility fate-and hard work-has brought upon
them is giving Office to the great unemployed
to make is a private stenOgrapher, whom they
pay out of their own private fortunes, to an
swer the letters of Office-seekers.
The democratic members, who have found
very little to afford them satisfaction during
the past few weeks, contemplate this new ac-
tivity on the part of their republican colleagues
with something like complacency.
