CURRENT COMMENT.

EVIDENTLY COME TO STAY.
GZlon's Herald.}
1t augurs well for our political future that
the best men of all parties are in favor of
ballot reform. This reform, like civil SER
vice reform, has evidently come to stay

Mr.. Parnell has returned from his retire
ment and the Irish question comes again be-
fore the world. Mr.. Parnell presents it in
light entirely different from the shadings
that it got in the Court of the Royal CON-
mission, however, In speech at Noting
ham on Tuesday be called attention to the
industrial side of the agitation. He argued
that industries might be developed to such
an extent as to take the strain off the land
and thus render less acute the Agrarian cues
tion that is at the bottom of the whole agta-
ton. But Mr.. Parnell does not believe that
industries can ever be promoted in Ireland
until they can be protected by tariff against
certain lines Of English goods. Hence he
makes the industrial argument do duty to
promote the cause of home rule

Now that the Republicans have majority
in the House change of rules is demanded
that shall give the majority full control of
legislation, is an expression frequently met
with in Democratic papers of late. The in
ference suggested is that the movement to
change the rules would never have been
made If the Democrats had been numerically
superior to the Republicans. AS matter of
fact, however, Mr.. Reed and the other promi-
nent leaders in this movement have been as
strenuously in favor of change for years
past, when the Democrats were in control.
as they now are. Mr.. Reeds advocacy of
change is based not on partisanship, but on
the fact that the result which Is sought to
be brought about by change is in accord
with the theory of our government, while the
existing state of things is directly in CONFLICT
withit. When the people of the country elect
Democratic or Republican majority to Con-
gress they mean to give to that majority
the power to legislate. They do not expect
nor intend that it shall be thwarted by the
minority by means of arbitrary rules. This
is not saying that the sminority have no
rights, or that the people intend that they
shall be summarily suppressed or strangled.
It's only saying that the.majority shall have
the rights which clearly belong to it, and
shall not be prevented from exercising them
by rules which have no foundation In Justice.
but are created merely for the purpose Of
enhancing the power Of the minority aud
diminishing the power Of the majority.

the Reorganization Plan aggregate In
Europe $30,313, 200, and In America

and also that a decisive majority OF each
ana every one OF the thlrty.six Issues of

VOTED, That the Chairman be au-
th0rized to receive, in his discretion,

cember, 1889, under the conditions
heretofore announced.

Typhoid fever is usually c"mmu-

become infected. This means Of

other more positive means Of di~in-

There's something in the name OF Kate,
Which many will condemns;
But listen now while relate
The traits of some of them.
There's dcli-Katc, a modest dame.
And worthy of your love;
She's beautiful in a frame
AS gentle as a dove.
Communl Katc's intelligent.
AS we may well suppose;
Her fruitful mind is ever bent
On telling wha! she knows,
There's intri-Katc. she's SO obscure,
Ills hard to find her ont;
For she is often very sure
70 put your wits to rout.
Prcvari-Katc's Il stubborn maid,
She's sure to have her way;
The caviling, contrary jade
Objects to all you say.
There's altcr-Katc, Il perfect pest.
Much given tn dispute,
Her prattling tongue can never rest,
Iou can not her rcfutc.
There's dislo-K Kate. in quito a fret.
Who fails to gain her point:
Her case is quite unfortunate,
And SOrcly out Of Joint.
EquivO- Kate no one will WOO:
The thing would be absurd:
She is so faithlcSS and untrue.
You can not take her word
There's vinIi- Kate. she's good and true
And strives with I'LL her might
Her duty faithfully t" do.
And battles for the right.
There 5 rn@ti Kate. :; c,3;;.!::! lA>1,

She likes TO ramhlc through the grass.
And through the cvcrgrrrnS.
OF all ihc malcnS y"u can find.

Because she clcvatcS the mind
And aims ut something great.
