ONE A. D. Cummins, of Polk

ONE A. D. Cummins, of Polk
county, Iowa, organized an indie
pendent, anti-prohibition Democratic
movement in that county; was the
candidate on the combination ticket
for the Legislature, against the reg
ular Republican (pro. candidate;
was also active in the support of
the Democratic state and county
ticket. This occurred in A. D. '9l.

companies. Recently this man
Cummins was made chairman Of the
regular (pro.) state convention of
said state, to select delegates to the
national Republican convention that
meets near the city of Milwaukee

Democratic fellowship for the pur-
pose of defeating the expressed
will of the people. Birds of q

~GLADSTONE's

Mr.. Gladstone will have a work
ing majority in the next House of
Commons. Thus much is assured
from the election returns received
up to the present time. Whether
that majority be fifty or a hun
dred, it will be enough to enable
him to pass the great measure Of
Irish Home Rule for which he has
waged this hard-won fight. His
party is made up, as all parties
necessarily are, in a country of
representative government, of di-
verse elements, Liberals, Radicals,
Labor Reformers, etc, but they
are collectively pledged to that
leading issue, and we have no
doubt that they will support it
loyalty.
Mr.. Gladstone can and will pass
a Homo Rule bill through the
Commons. That it will be a more
liberal measure than the bill offer
ed by him in 1886 we have every
reason to believe. That it will re-
eel e the support Of all his pos
litical followers we see no occasion
to doubt, if only for the practical
reason that the political life of his
party will depend upon it's satisfy
ing the demands of the Irish
Nationalist. The majority, the
overwhelming majority, of the lat
ter will not demand more of the
Liberal leader than is politically
practicable. The minority, who
pin their faith on the principles Of
Mr.. Parnell, cannot consistently
object to any measure which cons
tains essentially all for which he
contended six years ago. Nothing
less will satisfy the aspirations Of
any Home Ruler, while much
more is expected of Mr., Gladstone
toaday.
It is assumed as a matter O
course that the House of Lord
will reject any Home Rule meas

tingency it will be open to Mr..
Gladstone either to dissolve Parlia-
ment and appeal once more to the
country, or, with the consent of
his Irish supporters. to pass such
measures of electoral reform (in-
Guiding simultaneous elections
throughout the country and the
one-man o~nesvote principle) as
would doubly ensure the defeat of
his Tory opponents in the next
general contest. The latter alter
native does not commend itself on
its face as the more advisable. since
it would be just as easy for the
Lords to reject such reform meas-
ures as to defeat Home Rule itself.
Moreover, time fights on the side of
the Tories who have not scruplcd
to reckon with characteristic bru-
tally On the death of Gladstone as
an important factor in their favor.
That event happily seems far off;
but even his wonderful vitality
cannot be depended npon in a lorg
contest.
The Irish Nationalist are not
likely to overlook any point Of
vantage in the present struggle.
ANY measure of Home Rule which
commends itself to the majority of
that party should receive the sup
port of all Irish-Americans WIN
have held a'oof from internecinc
quarrels have been rather incon~
sistently denounced for debating
to the party at home simply be-
cause they declined to dictate. They
now accept and endorse the YER
dict of the Irish electors, believing
and knowing that the chosen rep
resentatives of the nation will act
Justly and wisely for the best in
terests of the country. Were it
otherwise, then Ireland were unfit
for self-government. One Of the
first principles of free institutions
is the spirit of acqui-scence in the
will of the maj ority. Anticipated
privilege, represented by the House
of Lords, may attempt to DEFY that
will, but in such a struggle privi-
lege goes to the wall. It would
not be the most surprising nor the
least desirable out Of the Home
Rnle contest if it's ultimate success
should involve the downfall of that
stupid anachronism in popular
government.
The next few weeks will be a
momentous time for the whole
Irish race. A second appeal to
the country on behalf Of the object
dearest to all hearts would be a
costly proceeding, but we are con-
fdent that the crisis would be met
with an enthusiasm undreamed of
a few months ago. Meanwhile
I Mr.. Gladstone can offer to his
couutrymen the opportunity of
atoning for centuries of tyranny by
one act Of justice. 1t is a gener.
Gus offer, and they will be vice
to except it; for not often do
the slow-grinding mills of the gods
grind SO largely and loosely.
