THE BILL PASSED.
The Irish Local Government Bill Gets 390 10 Az

LONDON, May 24.--The discussion OF the
Irish local government bill was resumed
to-day in the House OF Commons.
Mr.. Gladstone, in speaking Of the meas

La 1856 both Mr. Chamberlain and the
Duke of Devonshire (then Lord Harting-
toni had promised Ireland much beyond
local institutions
They had, in fact, promised everything
short of AN independent Parliament They
spoke Of provincial assemblies and OF radl-
cally reconstructing the whole adminlstra-
tive system. He also spoke OF large de-
votion of national power OF an Irish assem-

The leader OF the government has warned
the Irish members Of Parliament that If
they did not take this bill instead OF the
larger measure promised, If they prosecuted
the object dearest TO their heart, il would
be at the cost of civil war. Liberal
cheers. Lord Salisbury's language, Mr..
Gladstone said, distinctly encouraged civil
war.
Definite explanations ought 10 be given
the House and 10 some others who desire
TO know whether the cabinet were general

the people Of Ulster would rebel against
the decision of Parliament, or that the en-
ployment Of forces Of the crown 10 suppress
such rebellion would be such an outrage
as would rend society in two.
If Lord Salisbury's language meant any
thing, IL was plain incitement Of few
misguided men 10 resort 10 violence 20 re-
sist the authority Of Parliament. These
were the conditions the Irish members had
offered them in the stinted gift Of the pres
ent bill.
Mr.. Balfour said the Government beliey-
ed thatlocal government would be great
boon TO a population knowing how 70 use
IL. The Governmant desired 70 confer this
boon on ireland. The Irish members were
perfectly indiffent 10 these considerations.
MIR. Gladstone told them the bill cleared
the issue. fCheers and counter cheers
As far as the government was concerned,
they had made clear what their policy was
OF that policy this DILL was only part

side. IL rested with Mr.. Gladstone 70

A division was then taken and the bill
passed TO its second reading By vote Of
$50 to 247.
The result OF the division was received
with prolonged conservative cheers.

When the MarSeille arrived on Satur-

Tide That Flows Away

OF War Elkins came 10 the front today In
an effort 10 stop the avalanche Of talk about
Blaine's being candidate. which the anti
Harrison people have been widely and
wildly indulging in for many days MIR.
Elkins is quoted as saying that IL is absurd
for the Presidents opponents 70 try TO de-
feat his denomination by the unauthorized
use Of Mr.. Blalne's name as
Mr.. Blaine is unquestionably out
OF the race. The Secretary OF War further
said that since Mr.. Blaine wrote the Clark
son letter declaring he would not be can
didate, he had assured the President hfty
times that he had not in the least changed
his mind and that he would not accept the
nomination under any circumstances.
Mr. Elkins added I hat Mr.. Blaine had
said the same thing to him on many occa-
sions. As Mr. Elkins is very close 10 Mr..
Blaine, what he says is likely 10 knock
very large hole in the Blaine boom. The
anti Harrison men, however, do not, up 70

A New York Preacher Proposes that the
Churches Shall Open Nice, Clean, Tidy
Drinking Saloons.

New York Preacher proposes tuat thc
Churches Shall Open Nice, Clean, Tidy
Drinking Saloons.
New YORK, May PA novel method
of correcting the saloon evil has been
prepared by Rev. w. 5. Ratnsford. OF
Georges church. His idea is that the
Church must compete with drinking sa-
looms and reach the masses by establish
ing respectable places Of this character.
DR.. Rainsferd first broached the idea In
his sermon on Sunday morning, and
yesterday in an interview said:
1--WE cannot stamp out an evil such
as the saloon, but we can do the next
thing: we can supply the beer demanded
by these people and elevate the stand
ing Of the saloon TO a higher plane.
II don't think | would sell whisky In
such place, but instead have only
beer, light wines, coffee and chocolate.
would make them attractive with
drawing rooms and would keep them
open on Sunday only during proper
hours. When the time came for closing
the blinds would go down TO stay"
Business men Of the churches can
open saloons and run them protitaoly.
l do not m an To give away the beer,
but TO sell ii at good prices with proft.
| only wish that myself had the money
with which TO demonstrate that this is
the only successful way TO deal with
this problem. Would l sell whisky in
those saloons? No, | don't think |
would but beer; light wines, coffee and
chocolate l certainly would. Reading
rooms could be introduced and the
saloons made an attractive place OF re-
sort without intemperance.
propose to advocate this idea right
along and present IL In such way that
it will appeal to business men who Will
awaken to the necessity OF providing a
better and temperate substitute for the
saloon Of to-day.
"As have already said, this cannot
be done by preaching from the pulpit'
il must be demonstrated that the prin-
ciple is the right one. Some time ago |
spoke at Young Mems Christian AS
sociation meeting on this subject. AS
you might suppose, II was like
throwing a red flag before bull and
me with a storm OF protests and oppo-
sitlon. However, before | completed
my address / had the larger part OF my
audience with me. l am convinced
that there is no other way to combat
the vices OF the city. We must provide
substitutes, not necessarily along the
same lines, but where the evils exist
something Of a higher order must be
provided to take it's place"
DIR. Rainsford further said he had not
perfected his ideas regarding the saloon,
but proposed to arranged the details
Immediately.
