The friends of The Tribune who propose to be
present at its semi-centennial anniversary next
Friday evening, or who are looking forward to
the pleasure of reading the report of the exercises
will rejoice to learn that Edward Clarence Sted-
man has accepted an invitation to contribute
poem to the occasion. Mr.. Stedman's well-achieved
place in the front rank of American poets and his
regard for the newspaper which has so often been
enriched by his variously accomplished pen, are
the guarantees OF a notable production for our
Jubilee

The Tammany politicians who are seeking to
tear down the City Hall and build greater one
have no keener sense of the eternal fitness OF
things than Peter Kingston, Of Princeton, n. D.,
who is confident that the key TO the rapd-transit
problem would be turned if the City Hall were
demolished to make room for gigantic railway
station.

T. is hard to suit us in the matter OF weather
,f we get April weather in April, as we have
heen doing for the last few days, we grumbie

son TO know that it has been highly favorable
70 the coming crops. A good yield of cereals
fruits and vegetables may be expected; even
the peach growers are talking OF big crop.
This may be bad news for certain orators OF
the Farmers Alliance, whose stock in trade is
bad times but it will be good news for the
great multitude of plain people in every part
of the country.

Mr.. parnell's position remains the burning
question in British politics. Notwithstanding
the efforts made by his enemies to depose and
discredit him as a leader, he continues TO oc-
cupy a large share of public attention. In
letter published to-day our London correspond
emit draws attention to the remarkable dexterity
which he is displaying in his controversy with
Mr.. Gladstone The latter incautiously declared
in the course Of his public address at Hastings
the other day that he would absolutely refuse
70 place the constitutional leadership OF Ireland
in Mr.. parnelrs hands The senior member for
Cork at once responded by pointing out the
arrogance of the claim made by an English
marty TO decide who should and who should
not be the constitutional ruler of Ireland. The
question, aided Mr.. parnell, as to who should
be the principal Minister in Ireland was one
for the Crown alone to decide, and in assum-
ing that right Mr.. Gladstone was practically
Arrogating to himself the prerogative of the
sovereign.

One of the most important movements of the
day in British Imperial politics is the erection
of the Australian colonies into Commonwealth
which is now almost an accomplished fact. So
far as the scheme has yet been unfolded, far
more radical step seems to be taken than was
taken in the formation of the Dominion of
Canada. The very name chosen savors more of
republcanism, and it is evident that in the re-
Iations between the various colonies and the
General Government, and in the arrangement
Of governmental functions under three co-ordi-
nate heads, the American example has been in
