Mr. ParneiPs manifesto is not likely to
help his case either with the Irish people or
with the English Liberals. 1t may suit his
purpose now to profess to believe that home
rule can only be secured by the Nationalist
remaining completely independent and re-
sentng any attempt at dictation on the part
OF the Liberals. But those of his followers
who are in position to take an impartial
view Of the matter can hardly fail to see that
the cooperation of one of the great English
parties is absolutely essential to the realila-
ton of Irish hopes and that without it home
rule is postponed indefinitely. Without the
support of the English Liberals in Parliament
the Irish party will soon sink into obScurity.
Parnell is sacrificing the interests of his
country to his own ambition. Whether the
Irish people will assist in the sacrifice re-
mains TO be seen. There are indications,
however. that the sober second thought is
beginning to assert itself and that when
the National leaders next hold conference
the demand that Parnell remain will be far
less unanimous than it was few days ago.

If the elections bill was wise measure
last summer and one that ought to have been
passed by Congress it is wise measure this
winter and deserves to become law. The
result Of the elections can not be fairly con-
strued as condemnation by the people of
that measure. At the North it was very
imperfectly understood and very little dis
cussed; and its effect one way or another on
the elections was inappreciable. Possibly
in some Southern congressional districts 1t
entered into the contest, but condemnation
there ought to count for no more than
would the condemnation of the law against
larceny by band of men who had been
making a business of stealing for many
years back. A very much stronger argu.
ment can be deduced from the election for the
repeal or extensive modification of the Nc
Kinley bill than for the abandonment of the
election bill. Nevertheless in view of the
lukewarmness of some of the Senators in Its
support at the last session and the utter fulfill
ty of attempting to ass the bill without ONE
sharp restriction of debate in body that
loves dearly to talk, it is exceedingly doubt
full If the bill becomes law.

The Boston school committee always in the
frout rank Of progress has taken another
forward step. At ia recent meeting an order
was passed allowing teachers, after every
ninth year of service in the public schools,
leave of absence for one year on half paw,
This rule with the exception that one year
10 seven is usually allowed is in force in the
older and more prominent colleges and many
great business institutions and there seems
to be no reason why it should not be applied
generally to school teachers. Surely COM
parison Of the work of college professor
and primary or grammar school teacher
leaves a good balance of leisure in favor of
the college professor, and if he must have a
playtime frequently to keep his faculties in
order, the school teacher must be entitled to
one at least as frequently. The quality of
intellectual training necessary for success in
the two callings may notbe the same, but the
teacher has much more of wearing physical
toll in connection with her work, than the
college professor has.

The Democratic free traders are beginning
to hedge, as they always do when they come
into the shadow of national campaign.
Even Mr.. Mills now declares that he is
merely revenue reformer. Unfortunately
for the Texas statesman his past utterances
on the subject have been so explicit that he
can only escape their import on the assump-

will have to be spent in organization the
Presidents message will undoubtedly be
sent in and the business of the session be-

they intend to resist in every way in their

and as most Of the measures are likely to be
of that character there is sure to be plenty
of excitement.

DIRECTING TO A RAILROAD.
Property Owners Who Oppose the Cross
Town Project.

The Commissioners this afternoon gave a
hearing to those persons who object to the
Passage Of the bill incorporating the Cross
town Railroad Company. Commissioner Hine
was in New York, but Commissioners Douglass
and Robert heard the objections.
When Commissioner Douglass called the
hearing to order the board room was
crowded. Mr.. Stafford announced that he
appeared for the railroad
Mr.. VIM. E. Curtis was the first to speak.
He called attention to the fact that he had
recently erected dwelling on the triangle at
the corner of street and Connecticut avenue.
He said if this charter was granted it would
put him in pocket, so to speak. The people
in that locality, he said, had plenty of railroad
facilities. He thought the P street road
could cover the distance proposed by this
road by slight extension. The proper thing
to do, he continued. was to run the Metropoli-
tan railroad along 2 street. to connect with the
9Th street line.
David L. Barry spoke in behalf Of residents
on s street and presented a petition against a
road along this street. NJ. Stafford called at
tention to the fact that the matter before the
Commissioners was an amendment to the
present bill. They had already submitted an
adverse report on the bill and were now called
upon to consider the amendment. Some dis
cussion arose as to this statement and the COM
munication of the House committee was read
Other DIRECTORS spoke. They were all unan-
imous in the statement that the road was not
needed.
The hearing was in progress when THE STAR s
report closed
