SATURDAY, JANUARY l6, 1889,
QUEER HARMONY THIS.

While the Repu bllcan press of Min
nesota is discussing alleged troubles in
the ranks of the Democratic party, it
passes by UNDECIDED the ruptures in the
Republican party. If this subsidized
press thinks it is furthering the cause OF
the party it aims to represent, we say IL
is very much mistaken. There may be
few minor differences in the Demo
cratic party of this state, but they are
mot in IT. when placed side By side
with the troubles in the Republican
camp. The Democrats of this state
have done nothing Of any account in the
political line yet, save, perhaps, the for
nation Of several energetic clubs. As
to Offices they have NOT yet considered
them, though the Republican press is
busy every day working off fakes on
what the Democrats are doing. 1t is
very different with our Republican as
pirants for office who are in che hands
of their friends. For congress in this
district there are several candidates who
are working night and day to get there,
and they are not working as opponents
used to work openly ana above board
but secretly and every other way, no
matter how despicable If 1t will only
help: thetn to the national capital.
Speaking Of harmony there is more real
discard and dissatisfaction in the Re-
publican ranks in Minnesota than there
has been in the Democratic ranks In the
past six ears. There IS an army OF
candidates in the Republican party in
this state for all the Offices in sight, be-
cause they think they will stand good
chance Of election this year, it being
presidential year. Each candida 9
is doing all he can to make the others
less deserving of support than he. and
80 the so. called harmony that exists IN
the Republican ranks is nothing more
or less than dissatisfaction carefully Gov
cred up now, which, sooner or later,
must break out.

ARCHBISHOP Ireland left st. Paul for
Rome on Wednesday last. Father Byrne,
a member of the archbishop's council,
and for six years his secretary, being
asked by an IRISH STANDARD represen-
tative concerning the journey Of His
Grace, said substantially: "The journey
of Archbishop Ireland to Rome is q re-
suit of recent conference Of the Amer
lean prelates at st. Louis, but it was
somewhat fastened by other events.
The prelates felt that important }ques-
tions requiring the most judicious treat
ment were being hurried too much, il
not hopelessly involved, by the innum-
cradle petitions, memorials and news
paper editorials with which Rome was
being necessarily flooded. They desired
man who could unravel this snarl and
let in light, and their unanimous choice
was the venerable Archbishop Of st.
Paul. His comprehensive grasp of the
American situation, his thorough know1-
edge of Rome and his consummate faoil-
ity in speaking the French and Latin
languages, prominently fitted him to
be their representative. Besides, many
shafts of bitter criticism were aimed at.
himself by those who neither understood
or wished to understand his position on
the debated questions. The death Of
Cardinal Manning and much more the
death Of Cardinal Simeoni will augment
the difficulties of the archbishop's mis-
sion. The latter, though far away, was
an ardent admirer and staunch friend OF
the great churchman over here. Since
the archbishop's departure a score Of
clergymen have stated that they knew
all about it, which goes to show how we'll
clergymen can keep secret. If the
archbishop can impress his noble ideas
on the church authorities at Rome, he
will merit not only cardinals hat, but
the lasting gratitude of the Amer lean
church.

the wife Of Lord Charles Beresford.
Lord and Lady Brooke were received

Commenting on the appointment of
Messrs Elkins and Woods by President
Harrison to the offices of secretary of
war and circuit judge, respectively, the
Boston Republic mikes the following
pointed remarks: president Harrison
has displayed a recklessness and a dis
regard of public sentiment in app ONT
ing Elkins to be secretary of war and
Woods of Indiana to be circuit Judge,
which Indicates the desperate nature of
his political fortunes. No chief mag
istrate who valued his reputation above
his ambition would venture to elevate
these TWO men to high positions Of
trust. Eikins is we'll known as a
shrewd schemer whose fortune has been
made by crafty combination Of bust
ness sagacity and political mantpula-
ton. He was closely identified with
Brady and Dorsey in the star route
contracts which were exposed some
twelve or fifteen years ago. He made
the most money of the trio and escaped
the grip of the sheriff. Since that time
he has grown fat and rich out Of gov
eminent favor, and he has always man
aged to get off without mourning any
legal responsibility. But although he
has enjoyed immunity from punish
ment for his raids on the treasury, the
country knows him as an INSCRIPTIONS
wire-puller and schemer. Mr.. Har-
rison is not ignorant Of bis character.
indeed, it is his knowledge in that line
that has prompted him to invite him
into his cabinet. He wants to put the
peculiarly effective methods Of Mr.. Ell
kins in politics In good use IN promot-
ing his chances of denomination.

THE LAST SESSION.

The coming session OF parliament is
likely to he one OF the most important
for many years past. The principal
subject for consideration, and the one
on which the government is likely to
split is the Tory Home Rule bill as pre-
pared by OK Secretary Balfour Tais
bill has some very good features.
but none too good for Ireland. 1t was
not Balfour'e intention when he pro.
posed this bill to help pass it. He
wanted todeoeive the Irish people into
voting for the Tories. He as we'll ss the
other leaders Of his party, saw that the
Liberals were making serious inroads
into the ranks of the Conservatives, and
that something must be done to stay
their onward march. After much
thought he decided, after consulting
Lord Salisbury, TO prepare the bill
which il now before parliament, and
which Will be taken up when the COM
mons gets down to business again. 1t
seems to us that this bill, after it is read
and referred to the proper committee,
will not be reported back with recon-
mendatlon favoring it's passage, but
rather division of opinion as to its
merits. and on this great question will
the Tories dissolve parliament, and go
to the country for verdict. This bill,
in our humble opinion, will be the plat
form built by the Tories themselves,
and purposelY, too, ON which they will
disband. They do not believe in giving
Ireland Home Rule, though they try 70
make the Irish people believe they are
in earnest in this measure. II When Bal
four was honored recently BY the Uni
verslty Of Glasgow, he made speech as
1s customary on all such occasions. He
forgot that the telegraph wires we're
transmitting his speech as fast as he was
delivering it, to all parts OF the civilized
world and SO he spoke as he felt on the
Irish question. He said: 81 do not be-
lieve ireland will ever get Home Rule. :
Can the friends of tile present Home
Rule bill look to Mr.. Balfour with any
degree of confidence for support of the
measure after his ill-timed prophesy at
Glasgow? Certainly not. Balfour is
the leader Of the Commons now, and as
such he can do much to kill or pass this
bill which be drew up himself. We
predict that Balfour will not raise fin
ger to help the passage Of the bill, bnt
will let it 60 to the committee and die
there, or have it reported back with 9
recommendation that the party 90 to the
country for sn approval Of their course.
