The revelations made as to the scope of
the home-rnle bill 10 Ireland, which Mr..
Gladstone cOntemplates introducing, show
that some Of the rocks against which his
former measure struck have been removed
out of the way In particular, the Irish
members are not to be removed from West
minister, and. in fact. it may be quite posi-
BILE that an IrIshman should occupy posi-
ton in the Imperial Parliament and also in
the one at Dublin. This, together with the
limitation of the Dublin Parliament to the
local work OF the country, ought to be suffi-

The position Of Chicago at this moment
with the sewers gorged through copious
rains. and in many cases broken up so that
almost every district has suffered extensive
damage is an ominous outlook for the ex-
hibition year. The water supply of the
city is endangered by deuges, which put all
sewage engineering at defiance. A polluted
water supply must eet as deterrent to
visitors when hundreds of thousands are
pouring into city for the purpose of sight
seeing. Chicago is supremacy energetic
and will in time, no doubt, overcome all
difficulties, even if il has to go to the Rocky
Mountains to pipe pure water to its reser-
volrs. but 1t would be distinct advantage
to have assurances on the subject of inl-
munity from epidemic next year.
The japanese Counsellor to the legation
of his country at Washington has arrived in
San Francisco. and has given utterauce TO
sundry views on immigration, which show
that he is taking heed of the times. He Is
aware of the hostility which Chinese immi-
grafton aroused, and which has ended In a
pretty strong form Of restriction. He is
also aware that an inpour of Japanese into
this country cannot but entail a similar agi-
tatiOn. The Japanese would work for al
most nominal wages, and the labor ideal of
the American would suffer by such competi-
ton. Ii may be hoped that this gentleman
pull the strings to keep his countrymen in
the lands of the Mlkado lie admits there
is still enough Of room for them there, and
is DESTROYS Of avoiding conflict with the
American people.
