NOTHING Is TORTH WNfLE.O

The above sentiment is the half-nconScious
life philosophy of a much larger number of
people than we suspect. No young man can
understand it, but most men who have passed
the meridian of life often find themselves ready
to acknowledge its truth. They have lost that
earlier vision of life as n high and holy mis-
sion which spurred them to endeavor at the
beginning of their career and, even though
they may have reached the goal Of success, what
they have gained seems to be poor and mcagrc
outcome for the energy expended. When the
great prize for which they have strvcn so
earnestly all these years is at last within their
grasp it does not brins them the JOY they an
ticipatcd. The bulfotngs they have received
in the fight, the disappontmcnts they have
experienced, the compromises with crcum-
stance and fate they have been obliged to
make, these things take the edge off the de-
light they expected to feel when the world
should lie at their feet. Ii is not the great
things they have done that they think Of, but
the still greater things they hoped to do and
have not done that they remember with
half-sad half-cynical regret. And then, too.
as they look at their fellow-soldiers in the
battle of life, whose careers tell story of
blasted hopes, Of fruitless effort, of misdirected
aim, it is easy for them to conclude that life
is, after ALL only laundering game of chance.
in which men are pawns, moved here and there
by an insensate and incxorable fate. few
ccnvulsyc movements, babel of confused
noises, a running to and fro for brief span
of years, and then the eternal silence of oblivion
this is human life And therefore, "nothing
is worth while"
That such philosophy OF life is dcadening
TO all energy and achievement will not be de-
MED even by those who are most inclined to
accept it. And for that reason it is fortunate
that it does not come to most men until they
have virtually done their life work. More

AIR. GLADSTONE'S REVISED SCHEME.

Mr.. Gladstone has accepted the Unionist
challenge and disclosed his revised lIOme-Rule
scheme The bill which he will be prepared
to present to the Commons if he be returned
TO power has been submitted to his Liberal
associates and to the Irish leaders of the ma
iorty faction. In the Midlothian canvass he
will explain the scheme in detail, but from
the abstract furnished for yesterdays issue by
the Associated Press the essential facts are
already apparent. Mr.. Gladstone has wisely
determined to take the constituencies entirely
into his confidence. They may decide for or
against him, but they will know precisely what
he intends to do, and not have the confusing
sensation of taking leap in the dark.
The Home Rule bill OF 1886 has been re-
vised so as to meet the objections on which
the Unionists have been laying stress for po-
litical purposes. The powers of the Irish
Parliament arc to be restricted so as to pre-
vent interference with UNCONVENTIONAL educa-
ton, the imposition of religious disabilities and
the endowment of any Church. These pro-
visions are obviously designed to allay Protes-
tant prejudice in Ulster and to reconcile Non
conformist voters in England to Home Rule.
The question of representation at Westminster
the force of the stock Unionst argument
against an Irish Parliament as separatist or
secession movement The Irish delegation will
be retained in tho Commons and the Irish peers
will continue to sit in the upper house. These
amendments, while they will weaken the eff
cheney of the Dublin Parliament will tend to
counteract the hostility of Ulster to the scheme
and will strengthen the measure in n political
sense The presence of the Irish delegation
in Westminster will denote compliance with
the forms and traditions of Imperial unity
1t will no longer be practicable for the enemies
of Home Rule to condemn it as a disunion
movement imperilng the peace and unity of
the Empire. Some other changes are ordered
in the constitution of the upper house of the
new Parliament rendering that portion of the
scheme less artificial than it was in its original
form provision is made for enforcing the pay
ment OF taxes levied by the Irish legislators,
and mechanism is furnished for the arbitration
or settlement of differences arising between
the Imperial Government and the Dublin
Parliament.
The alterations made in the original bill are
designed for political effect in Ulster and Eng
land. Mr.. Gladstone displays his old time dcx-
terity and ingenuity in offering concessions To
! tho Unionist opposition. The Ulster position,
which is the Governments stronghold in the
electoral campaign, is turned and exposed to a
flank attack from the Liberals. These arc

changes are not so radical as to excite Irish

other regions where primitive methods of SAM

no foothold in any highly civilized country, and
for it to cross the Atlantic and enter this coun-

army to invade these shores. Yet the least care
iessness, the least laxity in quarantine re>tlc-

The Superintendent of the Street Cleaning
