PARNELL AND SALISBURY.

After two months and more OF nego-
tiations, the effect of which has been to
magnify h importance greatly and en-
able him to dispel the cloud which re-
cent Y gathered around him, on account
of the scandal attending the O'She case;
after an armistice that has strengthened
him, while it weakened his opponents,
the negotiations are declared off, O'Brien
and Dillon go to Jail each for six months,
and, refreshed and strengthened, Parnell
prepares for the battle which will decide
the questi II of the Irish lea ership.
The Irish party is divided, and such
being the case, the dissolution Of parlia-
ment, when it comes, W II bring so many
fights of factions. that the next parlia-
ment will be Kaleidoscope in its charac-
ter. Out of the eighty-siX who now
constitute the full force of the Parnell-
ties, the McCarthyites exp ct to secure
seventy to Parnel's eight, while eight
will be lost, and will go either to the
Conservatives or Liberals; but Parnell on
the other hands expects to secure a ma
jority of the seats held by the Irish,
although he also believes that the full
strength of the two wings will be re-
duced.
The situation then is favorable to
viewed from the standpoint
Of the administration which now has
held office for four years aud half, or
for almost as long period as Gladstone's
last great lease of power.
If, as it has been stated that twill, the
of parliament occurs this fall,
second ministry will have
lasted quite as long as Gladstones long
est term. and should the general cleo
lions return the conservative party to
power, the control of the government. in
all probability, will have been entrusted
10 him for the longest consecutive period
hat any minister Of England has held
for the last half Of century.

A sHREwD SOUTHERN STATESMAN.

General John y. Gordon, senator-elect
from Georgia, is evidently determined
to make himself solid with the agricul-
tural interests. He has hit upon new
and ingenious, though somewhat ex-
pensive, method of convincing the
grangers that he is one of themselves.
Other statesmen who seek to use the
tiller of the soil as the pole wherewith to
vault TO the high places of public lie
may circulate reports that they are
destitute of hosiery, may hire tonsorial
artists TO trim their whiskers according
TO rustic fashions, o. may attend farm
ers' conventions with bovine hairs upon
their coats or the seed of ripe grass en-
tangled in their hairs. Those methods
are familiar, stale and passe. General
Gordon has invented something more
striking, original and efficacious. He
goes to the metropolis and falls among
sharpers, who pick his pockets, stealing
all his money and even his ticket to his
home. Whether, after the story was
duly communicated 10 the newspaper
reporters, there was an equitable division
of the spoils between the general and his
dispoilers, the dispatch it never said.

translated the thoughts into English and
explained the matters To the king.
Kalakaua WAS then invited to secrete a
button anywhere in the room. Instead

in his mouth. Brown was puzzled for q

The mayor Of Savannah, Ga, disposed
of a case recently in a novel manner.
Alfred and George Montgomery, two
white boys charged with chicken steal
ing, were brought before him. The boys
were very young and the mayor was dis
posed to be lement. He, therefore, had
their mothers brought into court. and by
the mayors order they gave the boys a
sound thrashing, an officer standing as
umpire TO see the work was well done.
The boys were then dismissed. The pro-

The legislative correspondent Of the

Kansas Neocracv.' Webster defines
'neocracy" as government by new or
inexperienced hands; upstart rule; raw
or untried officials" What the inexperi-
enced hands at Topeka will do; what
will be the result OF the upsiart rule;
what these raw and untried officials viii
accomplish in the matter of legislation
is guess work as yet. They may pull
themselves together and give the state
some needed legislation, but if they do
they must get up and hustle. The legis-
lative days are two-thirds gone and abso-
lutely nothing has been done yet.
