IRTSH-AMERICAN NITRIC CES.

The assumption of the English press that The
resolutc stand taken by The American Govern
ment in defence Of the sailors OF the Navy was
a demonstration for the capture OF the ln>h vote
has been characteristic. Charles Rcadc in one
Of his novels hit off the insular way Of studying
the universe by a large map of an English coun-
tv. with the United Kingdom in outline and the
OUTLYING world an insignificant little bail tucked
into a corner That illustrated the Squiros eX-
aggcrated way of looking at the shire and Eng
land and his ignorance OF the world III general.
For fifteen wears the English have had nothing
but Irish politics. When Mr.. Parnell succeeded
in recruiting powerful Irish party in the Com
mons each Of the main English parties intrigued
with it in turn. In 1885 Lord Salisbuy'S party
had the support Of the Irish Nationalist. In
1856 Mr.. Gladstone went over 10 Home Rule
and sought to carry the country with the help
Of the Irish ; and in the approaching general
elections the same policy is to be repeated. Since
1877 Ireland has been the pivot upon which
English politics have turned. Every English
man knows this, and chooses 10 assume that
Irish politics are uppeTmOSt in all EngIiSh-speal-
ing countries. 1t is strictly inSular view like
that Of Mr.. Reades squire. As Tories and Lib
making concessions TO the Irish vote, he con-
cudes that American diplomacy is simply an
Irish intrigue.
The English journals seem t. be unconscious
Of the fulsCme ilattely Of llishmen which their
assumptions involve. If President Harrison has
deliberately sought 10 attract the Irish vote by
resenting the insults of Minister Malta, by de-
handing replraton for the wrongs Of American
sailors, and by upholding the dignity and honor
Of the Nation in It's foreign relations he has
certainly paid high tribute to citizens Of Irish
blood If their support can be won only by
patriotic administration and a diplomacy ground
cd upon National honor, they must indeed be
high minded citizens. If the English assUmp-
ton be well founded that a foreign policy which
cOmpels the world TO respect the Nation ana 10
honor its flag appeals chiefly to the intelligence
and conScicnces of Instantaneous, then the
conclusion follows that men of that race are con
spcuolGs for civic courage and patriotism II it
was the sinister purpose of these English censor5
to curse lrshmen by their cynical sneers at Pres
idential intrigues in America, like Balaam they
have blessed them altogether.
But how little do these insular London Jour-
nalists really know about the politics Of the

world They are in the habit oil charging lliSE-
Americans with being markedly hoSIiIe 20 Eng
land and its interests. Well. we would he Will
ing TO believe them If there were any evidence
on their side bur there is none. The supreme
English Interest fer half century mas been Free
Trade. The whole world with tariff deienceS
is anayed against if. The strongest allies which
England has outside the United Kingdom are
the Irish voters in America. Inc! are hl'H'eu
to-day almost soldly on the Democfd.c sue III
all the leading American cites. Nihoul lheir
nbroken support the prospects iof democratic
success, and Il victory for English economic pohcy
would be hopeless That is the TRUTH ana every
Enelishma7 in America j. compelled to acinowl-
edge it. English journalists are either Ignorant
or bc plain facts. or else it suits their purposes
20 conceal the absolute dependence OF the Free
T,,do nartv mon Irish votes in America. 1t Is
easy for them to charge Republican PIesi-
dent with intriguing for Irish support by de-
Tending the honor Of the Nation. l. Is hard for
them 10 admit the truth that Irish voters have
been and still are fighting highlands battle for
FREQ Trade.
All these matters are instructive, but chiefly
for Irish Americans. Neither the contemptuous
attacks made upon them by London journals, nor
the implied fattery which is logically involved,
ought TO blind their eyes to the anomalous p0Sl-
ton taken by them in American politiS. When
an hishman is in Ireland he has only to know
what England wants and he opposes it. When
he comes to America he has only to learn what
England wants him to do, and he does it. Eng
land can DO nothing with lrshmen i'll their own
country. When it forces them TO emigrate to
America ID makes good use of them. 1t is tho
strangest anomaly Of the politics OF the world.

THE college, IND THE UORLD.


In notable article contributed to The TRIB-
UNE nearly two years ago Nr. Andrew Carnegie
sci forth his views concerning tho requisites OF
success in life, maintaining that honor, thnit,
energy and devotedness were still competent to
put their poSsessor at the front. Incidentally he
expressed the conviction that college graduates
find themselves at Il serious disadvantage upon
entering the business world. in another article
printed this morning Mr.. Carnegie Celebrates
this point with his customary frankness and
force. lie believes that compulsory study OF
dead languages is dcplOlable waste OF time, III
asmuch as it necessarily involves the loss OF
other things which are Of far more value, except
for the few who are enabled and adapted 10 lead
a scholars life, pure and simple. lie believes,
moreover. that tho vindication of this belief IS
constantly advancing toward completeness, that
the colleges are already on the defensive, and
that the end OF the contention is near.
We are not moved al present to engage again
in this long controversy. With much that Mr..
Carnegie says we cordially agree, though we
think that some OF his views are partial and
some Of hi, conclusions erropeels. Ia the former

THE SALOONS md EXCISE LEGISLITION

THE SALOONS IND EXCISE LEGISL1TION
The Liquor bill which was introduced in both
the SonI-c and Assembly az Albany last Friday
is we'll calculated to delight the salOOnkccpcrS.
For il is in effect, an act to break down most Of
the safeguards Which, now restrain their business
safeguards which must be retained and
strengthened rather than abolished, if the public
welfare is t. be conserved. The saloons at their
best are a menace of good morals Of genuine
progress But let this new measure OF lniquity
pass and We shall have them at their worst.
What the state needs is not more but fewer
lumshCpS. But this measure inevitably would
cause them to increase and multiply. Public
sentiment rs the result Of long experience, pro-
nounces against adding to the hours during which
Iimor may lawfully be sold. But this measure
would curse our Commonwealth by allowing
some saloons TO remain open all night and all
saloons to ply their trade on Sunday. Law
abiding citizens agree that any attempt 10 rem
der it practically impossible to detect Iawbrcal-
ing is conspiracy against the public safety.
But this measure, not content with securing all
night saloons and turning Sunday over to the
rum power, contains a section known as the
"yolice spy. section, which attempts just that
1t would enable a liquOr-dcaler TO sell during the
hours when the law says he shall keep his place
closed, with none to modest or make him afraid.
But was this scandaOns bill introduced in good
faith ? DO the Democratic leaders intend that
il shall 90 through? Or will they pass it with
the understanding that Governor Flower will
veto it? Point is given to these questions by
the fact that an impression has been gaining
ground among the SalCOnkeeperS Of this city that
the Legislature intended TO fool them. One of
their leading organs, 1.-THE Wine and Spirit Ga
zcttc" in its last issue gives expression to their
anxiety rs follows:
Threats are heard everywhere among the organized
llquor-dsacrs that If the present Legislature fails to
pass ~" Iquordcacr ENcs' bill allowing the sale
Of liquor Sunday, the Democratic party will be
made - 1T. Governor Power seem, to be
OF opinion that the Democratic party will suffer if lie
signs surh bill. Here l. nice mess. ON one side

one of the new bills in the Legislature pro-
poses TO reduce the fare on the ferry which runs
from the Battery TO South Brooklyn from five
cents to three cents regularly, and to two cents

that there is any earnest demand for such re-
duction, and the present rate is not excessive
considering that the ferry line is two miles or more
in length and the business done is not immense.
Nor is the rate out of the way when compared
with the toll on other ferries OH both sides of
