pranks should be played here By the wantonness
of power, you would find very short way out
Of it."
Presently we come to a stronger phrase,
THAT insolence and that provocative course OF
conduct which makes obedience TO the law nearly
impossible
The police fare almost worse than Ministers
and magistrates They are charged WIN cow
ardice--I am not sure whether the word Is used.
but the thing is clearly imputed to them. Ihey
are charged with "shadowing," Of which Mr..
Gladstone's opinion is such that he tells the in
fammable Irish people Enslishmen OF Scotchmen
il thus followed would dispense with the people
who marched by their side in very summary
way" They are charged with the insolent viola
tion of private domicile" They are charged
with brutality 1t is said Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Mitchestown has to do duty once more
I'm no period of history, civilized or uncvlized,
has there been more gross, deplorabe, thorough
illegaity committed by government"
And the police are accused of being the ag-
gressors The people who, being hundred to
one attacked them with sticks were mot wrong :;
they were the defenders of the law against the
| police" And the police being in no danger
whatever, fred out of the barracks on the people
and killed three men" Finally. the police are
not needed, the greater part OF them, to reprcss
crime they are there TO Collect the rentS OF the
landlords" After stating the cost Of the Irish po-
lice, Mr.. Gladstone says
Gentlemen, you pay that sum to collect the
rents of the Irish landlords"
And adds:
THE rents Of the landlords in this country
must be collected as debts by civil process but
in Ireland whenever the rent is to be collected
down come the police and the military. and it
is at once understood that practically even the
Army Of the Queen is in the field against the
people"
Consider for one moment the force of the
word whenever: and the fact that over great
part of Ireland rents are paid peacefully and
punctually
Looked at as piece of rhetoric Mr.. Gladstone's
speech is an appeal to arms. If it be a true pct-
ure of Ireland, armed revolution would be a
natural remedy for such state of things per-
haps the only remedy. Yet apprehend it is not
Mr.. Gladstones purpose to incite the Irish people
to revolution. His real aim is 10 win over ma
jority Of the constituencies in England and Scot
land and get back to power That Is his end.
and the methods he to attain it are such as
we see. But what is to be said Of orator,
merely as orator, who when he only means
votes talks bullets? G. w. s.

The resignation OF ]. ID. Abrahams. deputy

The resignation OF J. d. Abrahams, deputy
comptroller Of the currency, to accept the
cashiership of the Southern National Bank Of
New York city is another argument in refuta-
ton of the tradition that men who accept gov
eminent positions are not capable of holding
any others acceptably. In the past four or five
years government officials have gone from
Washington to New York and have taken posi-
tions and held them successfully among the
leading commercial and financial men Of the
country. This is especially true Of those off,
Gals holding financial positions, and it would
appear that no better school for training high
class ,fnanciers exists than the Treasury De-
partment of the United States. In every in
stance the transfers are made at increased SAL
aries, proving that business men are willing to
show material appreciation of efficiency in the
government service. Some of the leading
business men Of Washington as well as other
cities today have been government clerks, and
it is somewhat remarkable that very few re-
tired government officials hold political posi-
tions, that is to say elective positions. They
have learned that the security of business
life is preferable to the hazard Of politics and
they choose the better part

ANY project looking to the social, industrial.
intellectual or spiritual improvement Of the
coiored race in the United States is sure to re-
ceive the sympathy and support of all good
citizens. The negroes in Georgia have organ
lied a land company with a capital Of ten mil
lion dollars. 1t is oficered by colored men
and the stock. 1t is said, is all to be subscribed
by persons of that race. The negroes Of
Georgia are for the most part prosperous, and
this is on its face hopeful undertaking. They
are, however, new in the business of organ

1t Is possible that the Atkinson railroad bill
will be acted upon by the House on the next
District day. and every true friend Of Wash
ington in the House should be present to
oppose it. The bill proposes to confirm the
baltimore and Potomae's illegal occupation
Of four reservations Of the United States
and portions Of certain streets by legaliz-
ing the roads Illegal tracks. 1t proposes
to delegate to the Commissioners the
exclusive power Of Congress to au-
thorize deviations from the chartered routes
Of railroads in the District so far only as this
roads line is concerned. All other roads must
still go to Congress for permission to deviate.
Finally 1t confers upon the road power to con-
denim private property. Washington has con-
tended that no more public property should be
given to this road without compensation to the
public; that no different legislation should be
provided for its benefit than for that OF the
other railroads and common carriers of the
District; and that the power of condemnation
should be much more limited in its scope OF
application, and that the grant Of it should
also be accompanied by concessions to the
public. The concessions sought by the people
have been the removal of grade crossings
along a portion OF the roads course through
the city, and the relief of the mall from tracks,
or II this be found impracticable the complete
covering of the tracks in the mall. The evils
of the present railroad occupation and the i'm
mense advantages to be gained by the pro-
posed changes are obvious to every one who
has studied the local situation. There is no
need Of greater haste in supplying the wants
of the Baltimore and Potomac than those Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, and the latter roads
requests are receiving fair and deliberate con-
sideration by the Senate District committee in
connection with the requests of the people.
No greater haste is demanded in extend
ing the roads freight facilities than
in protecting the lives Of the people by
a reduction of the dangers at grade crossings,
at which over a hundred persons have been
killed or mangled. The Baltimore and Poto
mac removed its demands from the considers
ton Of the Senate where the railroad battles
have hitherto been fought and pushes them,
unaccompanied by the slightest offer of con-
cessions to the public, before the legislative
body in which the questions raised are new and
IN which the true relation Of Mr.. Atkinsons
proposition to the whole railroad problem may
not be quickly perceived The House will be-
trav its legislative trust as the constitutional
guardian and protector Of the interests of the
people of the District if it permits this flank
movement to be successful and this outrageous
proposition to be passed.
