Irish Home Rule.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Joseph Cham
berlain says the Uniouists fully concur
with the Government in the matter of the
Irish University bill. The Pau Mall Ga
-cits, in an article entitled "A Rift Within
the Lutte" says: The cordial acceptance
by the Parnelites of Balfour's proposition
to endow the Irish University has induced
the Liberals remaining at Westminster to
shake the dust off their feet against Par
nell and his allies"
The Ga-ette indorses Robcrtson's state
ment in Parliament to the effect that very
wide wedge has been driven, and asks,
"Wll the wedge result in separation
which shall leave the Gladstouians in the
lurch. Is it all up with the home rule
par,y." Continuing, the same paper says /:
"The Parnellites always have been and
always will be detached party whose
first and sole duty is to ireland. II the
Tories advance much further they will dish
the Liberals by giving home rule to Ire
land ut two bites instead Of one This
may be unpleasant for the Liberals, but
not for the home rulers. The Liberals
must have cry in reserve against tho
time when home rule shall be mute for
party purposes"

The ENCAMPMENT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 28.-The
Twenty third National Encampment was
called to order by Commander-in-Ch Chief
Warner this morning. After prayer by
Chaplain Wharton of the Wisconsin depart
ment and brief intermission, Commander
Warner began to read his address.
After eulogizing the G. A. r. the speaker
went into statistics. They show net gain
in membership during the past year Of
2l,43l. He commended to each department
the patriotic practice Of posts in the depart
ment of New York of presenting on the
birthday of the father of his country the
American flag to such public schools as are
not yet in possession of one. Major Warner
closed his address with review of pension
Legislation, and said that the day was not
far distant when the honorable discharge
from the Union army or navy shall be all
the evidence required to secure pension
TO the holder.
The following points are taken from the
annual report of the adiutant general:
There are forty-two permanent depart
ment with GIL posts and good standing
membership of 4s2, $50, being net gain Of
two departments, 35l posts and 81, ,43l COM
radcs during the past year.
The new departments arc those Of Ala
bama and Georgia.
For charity and relief the order spent
during the year s237, ,637, making a total
from July l, 1871, of q, ,g35, ,935.
The report of the Pension Committee re-
views in detail the work of the past eight
years. Following the expression Of opin-
ion by the last National Encampment the
committee prepared two pension bills, the
disability bill and the bill granting pen
sion to each honorably discharged veteran
at the rate of one cent for each days ser
vice, with minimum limitation of 8 per
month. The bills containing all Of the
provisions of these measures were then in
various forms before the committees
of Congress, but it was found, on consulta-
tion with members Of the last session. en-
tirely impossible, in the then state of pub
lie affairs. to secure any further action
thereon. Should the Encampment reaf-
firm its opinion of one year ago. these
bills are ready for early presentation to
both branches of Congress at the opening
OF the session.

GENERAL GRANTS REMAINS.
An Effort to be Made to Have Them
Removed to Arlington.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The Post
tomorrow will print an article saying that
the remains OF General Grant should be
removed to tho National Capital In the
course Of the article 1t says: "Pcople were
rcconciled to the burial OF General Grant
at Riverside simply because OF the distinct
assurance and pledge Of New York that q
monument to his memory Of surpassing
grandeur should be erected there. The as
surancc and pledge have come TO nnught
but by-word and reproach and the SOL
cmnly promised monument is but m imag-
ination Of tho remote and shadowy future,
hence regret has become indignation, and
what what was Mt first tacit assent
tho conditions remaining wholly un-
filed, IL converted into n vigorous and
growing demand for the removal Of the
remains from the place where they rcposc
but to bc dishonored and where they should
never have found sepulturc. The plea that
the fame Of Grant Is for all timc is no ex.
cuse that Il should take all time to build his
monument But of her own acts of mac.
Non let New York be hcr own Judge. The
country should wait no longer upon her
sordid and slow paced motions. II should
proceed at once TO rcintcr tho body Of tho
illustrious soldier upon tho shores of tho
Potomac" Tho Post urges that the g. A.
Il. at the present encampmcnt should take
NJ tho matter, and says that Congress
could not say nay to such reasonable re
quest based upon high ind patriotic mo.
tives. Tho remains Of the old commander
should be taken from tho neglected grave
at Rivcrsidc TO tho companionship Of tho
heroic dead at Arlington.

The Editorial Convention.

DETROIT, Aug. 29.-The third days
session of the National Editorial As.ocia-
ton opcn led with an incident which rather
marred the harmony of the proceedings. A
local papar yesterday printed an interview
with ColoEcl Shepard OF the New York
Mail and Impress, in which the question
If sectional feeling was referred to and
Colonel She pard was credited with some
remarks que stioning the loyalty of cx-con-
fcacrates in the South to the Union. 1t
should be stated here that Colonel Shepard,
in an interview in morning paper said
tina, his remarks in the first case had been
garblcd and, their purport misconstrued.
When the con yention came TO order this
morning Or. Cranfen of Waco, Tex. moved
that committee be appointed to investi-
gate the mcotal condition of Colonel Shep
ard, and J. o. Stark of Orange, Tex, sec.
onded the motion, which was promptly
ruled out of order. The remainder of the
morning session was devoted to the reading
of papers.
In the afternoon T. Il. Eldredge again
brought up the Shepard matter saying the
Southern delegates had decided that
should Colonel Shepard further address
the convention they would not attend the
meeting.

Such details of the revolution in
Brazil, says the Philadelphia Times, as
the mails are now bringing do not in
crease confidence in the new republic,
although they give confirmation TO the
belief that the monarchy is at au end.
1t is evident that the deposition OF
Dom Pedro was not the deliberate ac>
tion OF the people or their representa-
tives nor the immediate result Of
Republican convictions. It was really
a MILITARY revolt. The army had been
insu5ordinate and the Government had
undertaken TO weaken its power for
mischief by scattering it. Some Of the
officers rebelled against this and scat
tered the Government.
But that they were able to do so by
mere pronunciation shows clearly
how little hold the monarchy had upon
popular support and how ready public
opinion was for such a change. In fact.
it was generally felt that the Imperial
Government would hardly outlast the
lifetime of Dom Pedro. and when the
change was made abruptly it seems to
have been generally ecquiesced in, with
the felling that the question might SIS
well be met now as at any other time.
It is nevertheless clear that Brazil
has not got Republican Government.
merely by depOsing the Emperor. y
self-constituted committee OF soldiers
and editors have substituted their arbi-
trary will for the carefully regulated
will of a constitutional monarch, and
nobody has the slightest idea what they
are going TO DO with it.
The Government OF the United
States grew naturally out OF the union
of number OF well-established and
self-goverriDg COmmonwea!ths. The
likeness between the Brazilian pro-
vinces and the North American States
is very slight, and even il paper con
stItutiou for Brazil can be formulated
upon our model, it will be another
thing 10 get it into operation. II is not
strange, under existing circumstances,
that the European powers are cautious
about too prompt recognition OF the
United States OF Brazil.

Mr.. Cleyeiand.

If the American people were rot a
great people-great in their moral as
well As in their intellectual character
it would be impossible to account for
the extraordinary popularity of eX-
President Cleveland. 1t is the rule all
the world over to let "the stricken deer
20 weep'' unpItied and unfriended, to
let the vanquished in the race 60 all
apart to. sing his sallen hymns of de-
feat but here, at least. is one nota BILE
exception to the rule. Upon every I'M
portant social. political or business oc-
casion the ex-PresIdent is placed at the
head of the feast he IS everywhere
sought out and honored by his country
men. and everything that he says is
listened to and loudly praised or con-
demned by political friends or enemies.
There is no other citizen in the country
whose sayings and doings attract such
general attention as do his. People
who do not agree with him politically
T spect, esteem and admire him, and
here is that loud rabid, il not powerful
disciple OF Protection, Andrew Carne
