The olphert Evictions.

LONDON, April l9.-The Liberal press
is protesting just now. in determined
manner, against the methods employed
by the police in eyicting tenants from
the Olphert estate in Ireland. The
nsual tales are told of unnecessary yio-
lence. insulting ~provocation to resist
ance, and general brutality. 1t is as
serted that Landlord Olphert originally
paid only f300 for the estate, which has
for years yielded him an income of
e., 000.s To make the matter even worse,
and to show the injustice of the present
system in Ireland. the owner of the
land has made an improvement
uponit, but what he is taking is entire
ly the result of others Industry.

CHAMPAGNE ANn DIPLOMACY.

The war scare in Victoria over the British
naval manoeuyres in Behring Sea was vagaFy
of champagne. An officer OF the flagship was
responsible for all the hubbub. At the height
of social festiyity in local club he dispatched
the British feet to high latitudes declared war
ON the United States, rescued the Canadian
poachers and sunk the revenue cutters with
double shotted broadSides. The hilarious guests
rushed from the banquet-hall with blood in their
ewes singing Britannia Rules the Waves"
and two continents were startled with alarming
forecasts Of naval engagements in Behnng Sea
and momentOus international complications.
The bostilities continued without abatement
until the tipsy officer found himself under arrest
by the Admirars orders and consumed with
fiery headache. According to the latest &C
counts, Victoria has recovered It's composure
and there is no immediate prospect Of terrific
sea .fipht between the Swiftsure and Amphion
ON one side and the rakish Yankee revenue
cutters on the other. The British Government
has d;sclaimed all knowledge OF the prospective
naval operations in the far North, and the
Jurisdiction over Behnng Sea reverts to tho
Foreign Offices Of the two Governments az
question TO be settled by the deliberate pro-
cesses OF diplomacy.
The registering officer of Her Majesty 5 snip
Swiftsure mstook the functions Of champagne
in naval manoeuyres. He made use OF 1t as O
war stimuIant whereas It is properly employed
as diplomatic sedative. When Admiral Luce's
flagship anchored in the harbor of Port-au-
Prince he trained his guns on the Haytian
cruiser and adopted immediate measures for
towing the condemned American steamer out
Of port. He did not open his lockers until his
aggressive demands had been complied with.
When oil danger OF bombardment from the
forts and Of a raking fire from the Haytian
cruiser had passed, the Admiral produced his
choicest brands of champagne and allowed them
70 90 their perfect work. He discerned the
homely philosophy Of Mr. swiyellers theory

TRESTE IND PRICES.

To the fact that In spite Of trusts and COM
binations which are supposed to raise prices
unnaturally, the average prices Of commodities
are actually lower than in May OF any previous
year, two answers are heard. The continual
chatter Of journals which make no effort to
treat their readers as il they were supposed to
be reasoning beings is not TO be reckOned an
answer.
One point urged Is that current low prices
may be due to the extraordinary depression Of
farm products, which are not controlled by the
trusts or combinations. But, unfortunately
several Of these products have been so con-
trolled; wheat has been for months; sugar is
now so controlled by trust which has been
held illegal, but is still powerful cattle, dressed
beef and pork products are thus controlled, and
several Others might be named The great i'm
portance Of those already mentioned would
Justify a belief that prices Of farm products as
a whole must he unnaturally high, II these com
binations are rs effective as most people i'm
agine. But the common inference Is that the
trusts or combinations which deal with man
ufactured products and others not Of the farms
are those which extort money from the public
with most success. To this 1t is sufficient to

DEMOCRATS HISS HILL.

Some Of the superservioeablc organs Of Gov
ernor Hill are reproducing in their columns
the remarks which he made at the Cleveland
dinner in reference to ballot reform. This Is
maladroit When il comes 10 ballot reform
IL may be said Of Hill, as was said Of another
shaky character, Z" lie escapes criticism only as
he escapes observation" 1t is interesting and
profitable to note how some Of the prominent
Democrats who attended the dinner in question
received the Governors ballot reform homily.
One Of these Democrats Informed n reporter of
"The New York World" that i" the kissing was
very pronounced when Governor Hill reached
that portion of his speech wherein he spoke OF
ballot reform.n Still another IL reported by
the same Democratic journal az tcstfying
Eyes, Governor HilPs remarks on ballot reform
were Enthusiastically Kissed" A third bears
witness also in "Thc World" that "thero was
some kissing and derisive laughter, but it was
at no time pronounced | think one Of the
times when | noticed it was when Governor
Hill spoke Of electoral reform"
What a spectacle Is thus presented! The
official head Of his party in this State attends
n dinner to which none but Democrats are
summoned. Yet so positively disgHceful Is the
great non-partisan questions Of the day that
when he ventures TO touch upon It the table is
so indignant that II cannot refrain from brand
ing him with It's condemnation. THE kissing
was very pronounced" Governor Hill was
Enthusiastically Kissed" The skin OF the pea
nut politician is doubtless pretty thick, but
these indignitieS from his Democratic brethren
must have pierced It. No Governor Of New
York ever had so singing a rebuke thus openly
administered to him by the members of his own
political household.
In the circumstances the Democratic news
papers Of the interior ought to sec the unws-
dom Of reprinting what Governor Hill had To
say Of ballot reform at the Cleveland dinner.
They are simply serving TO keep at the fore
the significant fact that at Democratic dinner
in the great Democratic stronghold he was Wig
orously Kissed for his attitude on ballot reform
The sooner they drop the subject the better il
will be for the Governors lacerated feelings
