Upon close scrutiny, however. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. GLADSTONE could not afford
to take the course suggested. and that the
Liberals would have more to lose than gain
by deferring even for short period the

THE ANARCHISTS 1T HOMESTEAR

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: THE "Ad.

revolutionary body which set up government
OF Its own awhile since at the town Of Home
stead. and for more than a week held armed
possession Of that town. defying tho authority
OF the State OF Pennsylvania within whose
domain 1t lies. The banditti under it's orders
attacked and murdered private citizens acting
altogether within their legal rights. They
even sought to burn these men alive mode
OF warfare never heard Of before since Crom-

surrendered they treated their prisoners in
manner worthy only OF Congo savages. Nor
will any one who knows them believe that they
received the militia peaceably because they
were militia and not "Pinkertons." They had
as much right to fire into tho one as into the
other. and they knew 1t. The idea. indeed, OF

than they do about furtherir g reforms that
would come much more directly home to
their business and bosoms. Thus. what Is
particularly desired by working people in
the British metropolis, which cvon now. be
It remembered. under most unjust appor-
tionment returns 80 members to Parlia-
mcnt. is IA great extension OF the powers OF
the London County Council. Then. the
English agricultural labofer Is wrought
upon by nothing so powerfully as by tho
hope OF seeing the hlotments act, passed by
the last Parliament. improved by making
the allotuents compulsory instead OF OPP
tional with the landlord, and also by maxi
Ing the distribution OF such allotments tho
function OF parish rather than county
council. There are other innovations
which what may be called the masses. as
opposed to the classes. are unanimous in
wishing-as, for instance, the abolition OF
plural voting and the removal Of other cleo
toral inequalities by the adoption OF tho
lone man ono vote principle. In the
same category Of highly popular reforms
should be placed the payment OF salaries to
members OF Parliament. which, onco estab-
llshed. would probably he followed by the
transfer OF election expenses from the can
dldates to the imperial cxchequcr or to the
constituencies.
Now, 1t may be true that the Gladstonians
would have carried larger number Of
seats in the new House OF Commons IL they
had abandoned the idea Of giving Ireland
homo rule and had confined themselves to
putting forward tho reforms above men,
toned. But no ono imagines that in any
event they could have carried more seats
than they did in December. 1885, yet in tho
Parliament that followed that election they
were not strong enough to govern without
the aid Of Mr.. PAnNELL's followers. They
nre much moro disqualified for an indepen-
dent course to-day. for even with the as
sistance of II McCarthyites and Redmond
ties they can only muster majority of II.
They are. therefore. utterly at the mercy of
the Irish Nationalist party. and they must
keep their pledges to it under penalty OF
being instantly driven from office. even II
without tho most decisive assurances they
are permitted to form government.
The Liberal Unionists are not numerous
enough =, supposing that they and the
Gladstonians might be brought together
again on the basis OF throwing over 1re-
land-to give Mr.. GLADSTONE majority.
In the presence of such a combination the
eighty Nationalists would support the
Tories and retain them in power or re-
store them to it. There is. therefore. no es-
cape for British Liberals from loyal exc
cution OF their promise to give Ireland self
government. and we do not believe that
Mr. GLADSTONE himself has ever contem-
plated retreat from the position which he
took in June. 1886.

The Momcntous and tho Imaginary.

Our able contemporary. the Buffalo
Courier. looks forward with high anticipa-
ton to debate on the tariff by two Of the
most conspicuous members Of the Senate:
Before the nnAI adjournment of Congress there will
be tive speeches in the Senate Ono will be
made by Senator ALpRIcH in defencs OF McRinIey!s.
and the other by Senator CARLISLE in opposition to Nc
Kinleyism. 1t Is not improbable that Senator CAR
speech will be tho big practical speech OF the
Presidential year"
These speeches may be interesting as liter
airy exercises or as discussions upon topics
OF small present Importance, showing what
can be done by acuteness and learning to
make debate interesting in spite Of unfavor-
able circumstances. But as to excrting any
influence upon the coming election. these
speeches will be of very little value on either
side. The tariff is not decisive or even n
momentous issue. What Is to wake up the
minds and stir the blood Of Americans
Is the Force bill and the question OF re-
viving Negro Domination in the South. In
comparison with that. the tariffs almost as
trivial as the silver question and the civil
service reform question. which havo both
sunk so far out OF sight that Mr.. CLEvE
LAND did not once mention them or allude
to them in his remarkable notification
speech.
SO long as there is danger OF Federal con-
troll OF all our elections. and OF Negro
Domination in some Of the Southern States.
the tariff is OF no more importance than the
peculiarities OF last years harvest or of
next years tides.
But let Messrs. ALDRICH and CARLISLE
go ahead with their speeches. and let those
who take delight in such gymnastical
efforts pay to them as much attention as
they like. Meanwhile let oil FREQ and un-
trammelled spirits prepare to vote against
the Force bill and against Negro DONNA
