TROUBLE the FAMILY.
Irish Members OF Parliament Do Not
Act Like Brothers.

LONDON. April 9.-The House Of Com
ming. There was a goodly number Of mem
bers on the benches and the galleries were
well filled. The Irish leaders, with the
single exception Of Mr.. Parnell. were in their
places when the House was called to order.
Mr.. Gladstone occupied his accustomed seat.
Mr.. Balfour's pleasant manner was in
marked contrast with the solemnity dis
played by the Irish members, who were
afflicted by their knowledge Of the difference
of opinion which existed in their ranks in
regard to the Irish land bill, Mr.. Parnell and
his followers favoring the rapid passage of
the bill. During the proceedings this eve
ming, Timothy Healy assailed Messrs. Nolan
and Thomas w. Russell for supporting the
government against a quibbling amend
ment offered by Mr.. Healy. The Speaker
finally put an end to the matter by calling
Healy to order for prolixity and Mr.. Nolan
for using unparliamentary language. This
little passage foreshowed many passages of
a similar nature In the future and evidently
afforded much pleasure to Mr.. Balfour and
his friends. Mr.. Parnell arrived at late
hour. He met Maurice Healy on entering
the House but did not speak to him.

NEW YORK, April Ex-senator Morrill, of
Vermont was in the city today and. in an in
terview with Tribune reporter, said that
Senator Edmunds had for two years contem-
plated resignation on account of his own
health and that of his family. Speaking Of
Mr.. Edmunds's successor, he said: SEX Gov
ernor Stewart is probably candidate. So Is
Gen. Smith of st. Albans, who has a large
TO lowing. Ex-Governor Proctor. now Sec
rectary Of War, is said to be candidate, but
am not sure he would give up his secretary
ship to enter the Senate. We could hardly
spare him from the war department: Jadge
Powers, now COngressman-elect, Is men,
toned as candidate. Another Is General
Veazey, commander-in. chief of the G. A. R.,
a strong man In the state. Governor Page
himself is said to have senatorial leanings."

The Slogan Of the Alliance.
WASHINGTON, April ga largely attend
ed meeting of the Citizens Alliance was held
here tonight. President Polk Of the Farm
| ers' Alliance made the principal speech. We
stood today, he said, in the midst Of revo-
luton, peaceful and bloodless, he prayed,
| but the mightiest, social. industrial and eco.
| nomic revolution the world has ever wit
messed. Agriculture, the life Of all life, was
languishing and dying, and all over the land
was heard the dismal and universal wall of
| hard times by farmers. There was no long
er such thing as contentment among the
| farmers. The cry of over-productiion was a
| false one, he said. There could be no over
| production as long as the cry for bread FROM
| a single lip was heard. 1t was under-con'
| sumption and not over-production. IL was
| not the fault of the farmer, but of the finan-
cial system of our government. Who, he
| asked, had better right to 60 into politics
| than the farmer. thereafter the farmer pro-
posed to place his petitions in the ballot box.
| In the coming contest between labor and cap
ital, financial reform must and would be the
slogan of the Farmers Alliance.
