GLADSTONE AND PARNELL.
What ia Said In London of the Irish Party =
Decision.

The London Daily Ne,rs, in an article headed
Gladstone and Parnell," says: "It is with the
deepest sorrow that we put together probably
for the last time. the two names that head this
article. But the conjunction, or rather con-
sr;ist accurately represents as no other collec-
the Irish people have to decide. We say Irish
because we will not condescend to doubt for
single moment the attitude of the liberal party
IN the face of this great and terrible crisis. We
are convinced that Mr.. Gladstone's letter will
excite everywhere, as it well deserves to do the
most enthusiastic and devoted loyalty, mingled
with keen and bitter regrets"
Noting the fact that Mr.. Parnell knew Mr.
Gladstone desire for him to retire. yet chose
TO accept the leadership Of the Irish party, the
Ne,rS proceeds:
MIR. Parnell will find that Englishmen are
not to be persuaded out of their convictions
They have worked hard and done much for
him and were prepared to do the same thing
Tor Ireland; but Mr.. Parnell is not Il dictator
ON this side Of the channel. whatever he NAV
be on the other side. He has treated iIl,,strious

spective Of party, feel the profoundest respect,
with a lamentable want of courtesy. Unless
the nationalists reconsider their decision they
may resign themselves to the indefinite post

graceful concession. MIR. Parneu is the least of

Thanksgiving day between his team and the
Georgetown College boys for the championship

make the game the most interesting
and the arrangements the most COM
plete ever seen in the District. The grounds
are being improved in every possible way. The
field of play will be inclosed by ropes stretched
around ten feet outside Of the bounds. Several
hundred chairs have been hired and are being
placed in the grand stand to accommodate
the large number Of ladies whe will at
tend. These and other improvements are being
made by a force of men under the supervision
OF Tommy Neill. track master of the Column
bias. who is determined to have the grounds ~
good as those where the great college games
are PLAYED.
A number of parties from both the Columbia
Athletic Club and Georgetown College will en-
gage tally-hO coaches, which they will decorate

two forty-five minute halves, cannot possibly

Both teams are practicing hard every day for
the game. Each has adopted a new system of
signals for the occasion, and will try several

game. The Georgetowns will attempt to make
their principal gains through the Gao.

their efforts upon it to break it down.
Arrangements are being made to secure an

AFTER THE CANTEENs AGAIN.
Committee From the w. C. r. U. Can
Upon the President.


Mrs. L. C. Hughes, president of the woman's
Christian Temperance Union Of Arizona, and
| Mrs 8. d. La Fetra, president District Column
bia W.C.T.U., committee appointed at the re-
cent national W.C.T.U. convention in Atlanta,
called on President Harrison yesterday and
presented a memorial. which they asked might
be referred through him to the Secretary Of
! War.
The memorial says: Eve beg the honor Of
calling your attention to the military saloons
(called canteens) in which the United States
government is fostering and encouraging the
drink habit to an alarming extent in the army.
These canteens are nothing more nor less than
schools for the encouragement of the drink
habit From personal acquaintance with the
facts, we know that beer drinking in the
Tar western posts and military garrsOns( notably
IN the territories of Arizona and New Mexico)
has greatly increased since the establishment of
these canteens Thousands Of bottles of beer
are consumed monthly at each of these frontier
garrisOns and army posts are being rapidly
converted into soliciting agencies for brewer
les.
THE military arm of the government is be-
coming an army of beer drinkers. impairing
them for efficient service and uniting them
for civil citizenship. 1t is burning shame
that commissioned officers educated at the
expense of the government are serving as bar
tenders or overseers of these military saloons.
thus giving semblance of responsibility to
beer drinking. We appeal to You and the hon
orable Secretary Of War in behalf of these out
ragged men. who stand as the defenders Of our
homes and of the country dearly bought by
the best blood of our forefathers. These temp
tations are so overpowering to some of the
weaker men that many are known to draw
their pay In advance and to spend it for beer.
At one time the order stood for the men to
tire at 8 pm. Now the hours are frequently
extended to II pm. and the men stay at these
canteens to drink, smoke and gamble. Must
fearful cost as this? Praying the serious con-
sideration Of the honorable Secretary to these
facts. and untold pages more which stand back
OF them. we will ever pray deliverance may
come from the military saloon to the boys in
blue, our country's DEFENDERS

The Chances of Cleveland and Hill.


From the New Nork Herald.
The comparative analysis of Cleveland's and
Till 3 chances is instructive.
Mr.. Cleveland's advantage lies in the fact that
he originated the policy of tariff reform, which
was recently SO signally indicated. BY COM
mon consent he has the political right to carry
it to its logical issue.
His disadvantage il that. while he has the
sentiment of the people with him. his friends,
are deplOrably lacking in organization and
push. They depend on this popular sentiment
rather than leadership or generalship to see
them through. They have altogether too little
concentration OF purpose and action and are
loose jointed and incOherent.
Gov. Hills disadvantage on the other hand
is that while he has very decided views on the
tariff. they are not as widely known. His
duties our state chief have not called for
any conspicuous utterances on this subject.
He enjoys a very decided advantage. though.
in that he il by nature and experience AN ex-
pert organizer. His control of New York
state i, absolutely perfect i'll all its details.
He is as well versed in politics as in the law. is
a bold and di.sEing leader and quite able to
create a counterpart to the plot of .'our friends.
the enemy" The machine, as it is called. has
reached its utmost efficiency under his in
fiuence.
These are the cold facts Of the case.
