The aged statesman whose name Is
household word wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken and who is tower oil
strength TO the cause OF home rule, made
a speech in the House OF Commons yes
terday that the cable tells us was equal to
his greatest flights Of oratory on
other occasions, and that during
Its delivery he seemed to be Sin
spired like another Isaiah" Mr.. Glad
stone was followed by Mr.. Parnell, who
was received with tumultuous cheers, the
grand old man" himself waving his hat
as vigorously rs any OF the home rulers.
The great Irish leader made very telling
speech, conservative, but full OF facts that
told against tho prosecutors OF his
country. He and Mr.. Gladstone filed
the House Of Commons with the spirit OF
their convictions that Home Rule for Ire
land cannot much longer be delayed. Our
readers will find a very fair synopsis Of
both speeches among our foreign news.

whether prohibition shall prevail in that

conditions. That sort Of municipal gov
eminent has obtained purely from asso-
citation. II has never proved successful.
But the history Of Memphis has not been
the history OF any other city. II has been
essentially peculiar. After corporate life
OF fiity-two years series OF calamities cul-
minated in It's greatest, eleven years ago.
No other city was ever so crushed. A
new form Of government had to be es-
tnblished. An experiment new in
the history Of municipal gosernment
was tried. II proved phenome-
nally fortunate. The whole world OF
economists were given new idea and
taught most instructive lesson. The
Clapps and Crafts aud Gantts who made
the new plan are entitled TO that enduring
honor which is accorded the scientist who
discovers new fact or formulates a new
principle. In serving Memphis they have
served the world. The perspective OF time
will make them formidable upon tho hori-
zon. The day will come when men shall say
OF their descendants; "They are the sons
OF the men who contributed 10 the establish
ment Of the new city OF Memphis" IL will
be honor enough. But was their work en-.
tirely perfect in its details, or has the pro-
gress Of the years revealed an opportunity
OF modification which shall enhance the
prestige Of the municipality II has. To
resiore the name Of the city Of Memphis
and TO give TO the local government the
privilege OF taxation would now be fitting.
This might not have been fitting last
year or the year before, or the
year before that; but everybody adj
mits that the period has now ar
rived when 10 make these restorations
would be TO give to the project OF the
founders Of the new city the absolutely
perfect ultimate. But IN making this
proposition, involving the complete estaD-
lishmeni Of the municipal dignity, no
rider" must be permitted The funda-
mental principles must not be disturbed
q hairsbrcadth. There must be no retro
erosion; and there will be rctrouession
II the slightest concession Is made TO those
who, forgetting the past and ignoring the
present triumph, seek TO make the Gov
eminent identical with OF similar to that

but fatal forms As WI have said, Mem
phis has nothing 10 learn from them, but
everything TO teach. She is the school
