Position of the League in America.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Irish members OF
parliament now in this country vii, make no
more speeches in American cities until the
Parnell leadership question is decided, st.
Louis excepted, where they will speak next
week They will not abandon their American
tour unless there is "a split in the Irish party
abroad after the committee comforting with
Gladstone shall report.
Patrick Gleason, mayor of Long Island city,
and president OF the municipal council OF the
Land league last night said the Irish American
leagues had nothing TO gain by actingly hastily
while the Parnell affair was yet combat on
the other side.
First. the policy of the members of the
league here, said he, lis to insist upon unity OF
action on the other side. Instead of urging the
support OF Parnell as leader OF one faction or
organization, the vital question to be decided
Is should there or should there not be a united
front! The league here does not want TO advo-
cate the claims of faction singly, ard when the
welfare andfuture of Ireland are at stake no man,
no matter how he has been beloved by the peo-
pie, should stand in the way. In place, then,
of advocating one or two fragments Of a party,
every effort should be made to heal all differ
enceS."
What if Parnell persists in his claim to
leadership after the Gladstone meeting"
I see nothing but chaos. All the q eat work
accomplished during the past ten years would
have to be begun over again. and in he face OF
FAR more adverse circumstances than ever.
mus Tar Inc Land league mas salu nothing
formally as body regarding the deplorable stu
alton OF affairs, but unless the Irish party de-
cides on unity, The league will declare itself
very einphaticaly.''
How
IF there is u split of the party abroad after
the Gladstone conference, what would be the
use Of the Irish ENJOYS remaining here! They
would be foolish TO go before the Parnell COM
| bat is ended. If the party does not unite under
some leader and remains with Mr.. Parnell at
| the head of one Irish faction and Mr.. Some
body else at the head Of another. it must do
what ii can to live and thrive on wind when it
needs holp from this side OF the Atlantic. The
| league will not contribute any more money and
Will openly declare that not 4 dollar will GO
abroad for the use OF the party until 1t comes to
! its senses. With unity over there, there is nc
fear OF a split here. With the party SPLIT or
the other side, there will be unity here against
sending help to factions

SOMETHING TO THINK OF.
A Few of the Nuisanees that Shoald Receive
Proper Attention.

To the Editor OF THE HERALD.
Much as l admire and am interested in
the growth of our beautiful city, 1 cannot
help but notice some very.serious and flag
rant evils and l think it is high time 10
have stop put to them. The first evil
to which 1 wish to call attention is this
zig gag, shameful and furious driving with
out any order or system as to which side TO
pass an opposite team, paying no regard to
the pedestrian (who has the first right-of-
way in all civilized countries.) | viii
venture an assertion that there is
scarcely a DAY passes but what some
teamster cones in contact with
"a pedestrian without any regard
to lameness. sight, hearing or age. For
partial proof of this read our daily papers,
and then take into consideration the scores
of cases that never are reported to the
press.
Again, two teams meet one loaded the
other not; whether it contains women.
children, a cripple or otherwise, the
teamster with his load pays no more heed
to the rights of the other than if he were
not driving. AS for pass by the right y
that is just as it suits the driver of the
heaviest load. Thus the many collisions.
which do not end without the nard feelings
and hard words such as are not used in
churches or Sunday schools, broken
wagons, Duggies, ana sometimes broken
limbs.
Another evil is the shameful and
| furious driving Of buGgies, butcher
and delivery wagons in general, and it
seems TO be more reckless in the center
and thronged part of the city than else
where @
A third evil is the lack of difference and
respect and reverence paid to funeral pro
| cessions.
| A fourth is the break neck pell nell way
of driving on our public drives. Now YOU
need not go IL the Liberty park, or the
drives in that neighborhocd 10 see this.
Take walk on Brigham street east of
Main on Sunday afternoon or evening
| and if you don't see some high-dyins races
| it is because the weather is too stormy. So
much for team driving.
Aud now let me call attention to the
street car system of driving on our prin.i-
pal streets, and especially when they come
in contact with others at crossings
Now, grant we are living in a fast aye
and that all must have a good deaf OF .'get

employed in the lumber yards OF John De-

rocher was much surprised the other morning
when he noticed Sam exceedingly happy
With great eXultation he told Derocher he
could read, and upon being furnished with a
Bible, read with ease. Sam is well known, and

Disarmament Of the Indians.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Gin response to a Sen

mitted to Congress 4 letter from MAJOR General

General Schofield in his letter says:
There can be no disarmament of the Indians
except by making them actually prisoners of

II would be impossible for them to secure arms

such change in the general policy followed in

Lobdslrs Application for Maudamus Denied

TOPEKA, Kas.. Nov. 6.-The supreme court
this morning refused to grant the writ OF mat
damus applied for by .. E. Lobdell. who de-
manded a certificate of election for represent~-
tive from Lane county Lobdell based his cIilrns
on the state constitution, which gives ekch
organized county in the state casting 80 votes
a representative in the legislature. The case
was one of great importance for if Lobdell had
been admitted seventeen other Republic ans
elected as delegates would have been emitted
to the same privilege. Most Of them were
ingalls, men and they would have given the
Senator a majority of two on joint ballot. Inc
supreme court held that in no event could the
membership of the lower house exceed 10
members until there was d change in the con
stitution.
