The Parnell Inquiry.

ne immediate reason for the withdrawal
OIL Mr.. Parnell and his associates from the
commission is apparently the refusal of the
commission to probe further the Pigott for
geries, but for some time past dissatisfaction
on the part Of the Irish members has been
apparent at what was considered the par
tiaiity OF the commission and the manifest
intention to decide against them ia any
event. VI course Mr.. ParnelPs withdrawal
ends whatever public interest in the trial re.
mained, and the future proceedings Will at
tract no attention. Since the I'igutt episode
however, the public has paid little attention
10 the commission, so that Mr.. Parnell's
withdrawal will not produce much of con-
vulsion. OF course Mr.. Parrelrs friends
and enemies will have different ways of in
terpreting his action. The former will ar-
prove it, arguing that it has been made ap-
parent that the commission was bound to
md verdict against him in any event, and
therefore that it would be waste OF time to
go on with his defence. The latter. how
ever, viii interpret it as confession of
weakness, and move to weaken the effect
OF the verdict when rendered. The net effect
on public opinion will be about nothing.
Those who believed In Parnell's innocence
VIII still believe in it, and those who think
that he has been priyy to some of the reyo-
iutionary acts OF the element who believe
that physical force furnishes the only hope
OF iberatng Ireland will be of the same
opinion still. There is one point so thor
oughly settled by the testimony already in
that IL cannot be unsettled, and tina, is that
the letters published by the London Times.
which constituted the principal evidence
against Mr. Parnel were base forgeries.
10 the great public the genuineness of these
letters was the main point at issue, and that
having been completely disproved, whatever
report the commissioner. may make will
make very little impression compared with
that made by the collapse of the Times's
letters. At this distance it looks as II the
Irish case would be neither helped or hurt
by Mr. Parnelps action. and that its effect
upon public opinion would be inapprecia

gress' The extent to which the principles

In the United Kingdom, Is not generally ap-
preciated, although the experiment has been
going on for years and has, in fact. almost
ceased to be an experiment Cooperation Ia
applied in the United Kingdom in two
oranches-to production and to distribution.

In that branch Is more interesting IL less In

Ihey held at that time share capital of
over fifty million dollars, a loan capital of
over ten million dollars. and a reserve fund
OF oyer two and half millions. On the
goods sold net profit Of over fifteen million
dollars was realized, and this was distributed
10 the members in proportion OF their pnr
chases. When we come to the statistics

General Sorrow Ovor tho ReSel0ttOn 01
 Ex-Spe~ker Randall's Illness.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-The latest reports about the condition of MT. Randall are very discouraging. Friends from this city who have visited him within the past fortnight say that the issue is question only of weeks, and perhaps only of days. His malady is now pronounced to be cancer of the most serious kind. He is confined at all times to his bed, and is almost as helpless as child to care for himself. His mind is still clear, end he gives some atten- tion to public .nd private business, and is even able to write letters. although most of his work is done by dictation to his secretary. He retains his old cheerfulnoss to much greater degree than could be expected when his seri- ous condition is taken into considera- tion. Not many of his friends are ad- mitted to see him, although several of tho more intimate have been.
 There is general sorrow over this revelation of the ex-Speaker's condition. Whatever may be the feeling toward him politically, ho has 9 strong per sonal hold upon great many of tho members. No man could bo moro kindly than he upon occasion. and few mon have used their long experience and service more friendly than he, so far as his feilow-mem bers of the House arc concerned. Even his most determined opponents, in the party and out, bear witness to his geniality and respect for the opinions of his colleagues.

 JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 24.-The Erie Railroad engineers expect that their Grievance Committee will meet to-day and decide what is to be done re- garding the members who were recent ly suspended. Some of them seem to think that there will be a strike. Tho majority of them, however, believe that there will be no need for stoppage of work. They believe the company will make concessions and withdraw some of the questions which the suspended en- gineers declined to answer.
 Chief P. M. Arthur has not yet been asked to come East, and this is taken as an indication that no strike is really expected.
 General Manager Thomas said that he knew of no serious trouble. He did not look for strike.
 It is said here that number of Erie fremen had recently been advanced to the positions as engineers. and that the company would rely on them in case of trouble. This could not be authenti- cated

A STRICT PREACHER.

A Clergyman in Lockport Forces n Lee
 ture on Hell Upon a Public school.
 LoCKPoRT. N. Y., Dec. 24.-There is considerable excitement in public school affairs here just now. Rev. P. Marvin, . Presbyterian minister, one day last week entered tho Washburn Street School. and, forcing his way be- fore the pupils insisted on giving lec- ture on heaven and hell. The school is composed mostly of young children in charge or lady teachers, who could do nothing. as they understood that MT. Marvin appeared under orders of the Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion.
 MT. Marvin displayed maps and pie tured charts of tho way to hell, and de- nounced all as sinners. His talk and the fiery pictures of devils so worked upon the children's imagination that many of them were almost sent into mysteries.
 The parents of the children raised an angry protest, and many of them went so far as to threaten MT. Marvin. A protest was entered with the Board of Education against such action. Tho indignation was high, and was not ap- peased until the Board promised that nothing of the kind should occur again and that the scholars would be pro- tected.
 Marvin, the clergyman who occasioned all this hubbub, is Presbyterian of tho old orthodox faith, whose views on life are peculiar. He denounces amuse- ments and has inaugurated dress re- form which is carried out only in his own family. He believes in plain dresses for women and on one occasion locked his daughters up for appearing in dress with some frills and furbe- lows on it's skirt.
