somewhat accustomed to the exchange
of unparliamentary language, but per
haps no American Legislators were ever
so practiced in vitupcration as the
members of the much-lamentcd, van
ished Irish parliament on College
green. somehow they contrive TO keep
on friendly private terms while treat
ing one another to most picturesque
abuse.
On one occasion, says the Chicago
News, pointing a quiverinG finger
across the house 1t his opponent, one
Thaddy Burke concluded with these
words:
And every mimbcr of the honora bile
gintleman's famille is benayth con
timPt-from the whitc-lived hound that
Is shivering on the tlure TO the painted
hag that is grinning in the gallery"
How did You know that his sister

rade as the orator sat down.

me she was going TO be prisint when
we were coming down to the house
after dinner?'

In the ConEre eEationalist a physician
writes interestingly about the grip. In
Jacl,son's day his opponents called the
disease ''JaylIson's itch" and Tylcr'S
opponents called it the Tyler grippe" 9"

terms used by the French to describe
the Influenza. Others are petite post. -'

''coqucttc," and Ia generate" La

from its graphic suggcstiveness. The
Germans have various descriptive names
for the grip, such as 'blitz-catarrh'
lightning catarrh), ''schafshusten"
(shcep cougn), ''huchuenziep' (crow-
ing), ''modc-fcbcr'' fashionable fcvcr).
etc. The Russians call II Chinese catarrh
The Germans often call it the Russian
pest, the Italians name it the German
disease, the French call it the Italian
fever and the Spanish catarrh. The
Italians invented the term influenza il
the seventeenth century, and attributed
the disease to the influence of certain
planets.

No English Gooseberries Here.

What is called the English gooseberry
in this country Is not such, but hybrid.
The English gooseberry will not thrive
in this part of America, for no sooner
does the berry begin to form than a
mildew appears upon it, and only by
the constant application of lime and
sulphur can the crop toe brought to per
fection. The climate is too hot for the
English gooseberry, and even in the
shade the berries often "scale" and fall
off. That which is called the English
gooseberry is graft upon the native
stock, having all the hardness of the
native wild berry and the delicious
taste of the English.

The questions at issue between the
Carnegie company and the strikers are
somewhat obscure, being differently
stated by the parties to them. But the
issue at Ceur d Alene is perfectly, plain.
The union men who left the mines be-
cause their pay was not satisfactory are
determined that none but themselves
shall be employed, and SO they attacked
and took prisoners the non-union men
who had gone to work at the wages the
company offered. Of course there is not
the slightest defense in law, or morals
for the conduct of the strikers in this
case The men they have driven off have
perfect right to sell their labor at any
price they see fit, and interference to pre-
vent the exercise of this right is a plain,
palpable violation of law, which the
courts should punish.

That the pocket peddlers of ''split'' are very
numerous iii this city no observing citizen who
is actively around in different localities of the
city will for a moment question. These ped
dlers of split are an outgrowth OF Sheriff
Grams method of enforcing the liquor law
The day before you published this,
esteemed contemporary, you offered in
explanation of the failure of Marshal
SWEET to make single seizure or to
arrest single rumseller, that the en-
forcement of the law by Sheriff Cram and
his deputies had been so thorough that
there was nothing for the Marshal
police to do in that connection. Now
you say that pocket peddlers of "split''
are very numerous in this city. If this
Ae so then there is something for Marshal
SWEET and his forty policemen to do. 1t
is, their business to catch these vendors
Of s'split'' and have them punished, isn't
it? Why doesn't Marshal SWEET and his
police do it, then? Can't you see that
there is no consistency in one day alleg-
ing that the enforcement of the liquor
law by the Sheriff had been SO thorough

CURRENT COMMENT
SHERIFF CRAM.
[Kennebec Journal

The temperance people of Maine will
watch with special interest the canvass
of Sheriff Cram of Cumberland county
for. reelection Mr.. Cram has proved
himself to be thoroughly efficient, able
and honest official. He has steadfastly
adhered to his sworn duty to enforce the
law His course deserves the highest
commentator. We sincerely hope and
believe he will be reelected by an over
whelming majority.
TRYING TO CAPTURE A CANDIDATE.
[Biddeford Journall
MP. Frank, of Portland, in a pub
lished letter, declines to be the Demo-
cratic nominee against Hon. t. B. Reed.
MI Frank did his duty-two years ago,
and thinks some other Democrat better
stand up and be bowled over now. ut
was,'' he says. "a matter of regret to all
that, for various reasons. an active, Wig
orous campaign could not be instituted
and carried on when I had the honor of
being a candidate
''Lest anyone he continues, SHOULD
attempt to construe my declining to
again become candidate as implying a
belief on my part that the candidate Of
our party will not be successful in the
approaching contest, let me say that no
such thought has Influenced me in the
least In fact, the prospect OF success
was never brighter"
Now that Mr.. Roberts and Mr.. Frank
have broken through the meshes, the
drag-net for candidate will have to be
thrown out again.

The Democratic papers which are
falsely charging that the Homestead
affair was the result of protection should
inquire what would be the consequence
if the tariff plank adopted by the Demo
cratic national convention should be put
in force. That declares for tariff for
revenue only, and pronounces protection
unconstitutional If this were lived up
the tariff on iron would have to come Off,
for that is not tariff for revenue only.
And if the tariff came off the product OF
the Carnegie mills and all other mills
would have to compete with the product
of the English mills. Such competition
would be impossible unless wages were
cut down to the English standard. In
stead, then, of the very slight reduction
which has been made at the Carnegie mill
there would have to be very substan-
tial reduction, and not in that mill only,
but in all similar mills. We venture to
say that there is not single intelligent
man among the Homestead strikers who
would for an instant think of suggesting
the removal of the tariff on iron as a cure
for the present trouble there. On the
contrary every one of them knows, and
would declare, that such a remedy would
be sure to aggfavate the trouble.

The Democrats have got stirring
speaker in the field in Piscataquis whose
name is A. D. Gray, with the prefix Of
Professor. According to the Bangor
Commercial in speech at Foxcroft the
other night he used this language:
See what the famous No. 2 Mckinley bill did
IN PENNSYLVANIA a few DAYS since. 1t caused a
riot. Innocent men were. slain, butchered;
killed like oxen OH account OF that wreteheo
Mckinley bill.
A man who enjoys the prefix of pro-
fessor probably knows enough to be
aware of the fact that the Mckinley bill
had no more to do with the Homestead
riot than the man in the moon. The pre-
sumption is therefore that he deliberate
~ and purposely stated what he knew to
be untrue, and that he is demagogue of
the first water.

TVE ESGLIsH objections.

The election in England has now pro-
ceeded far enough to make it practically
certain that the Liberals will have a
majority in the next House of Commons.
The size of that majority is, however,
still uncertain. 1t may rise to 40 and it
may be as small as ten. 1t is certain
however that Mr.. Gladstone will be de
pendent on the Irish members for his
majority and that whenever they see fit to
break with him they can ensure the de-
feat in the House of his ministry. 1t
follows that the task will be before the
premier Of concetling enough to..the Irish
members to keep them loyal without
conceeling so much as to affront his
English supporters. That is going to re-
quire great deal OF tact, and even with
all the tact that the premier can com
mand it is doubtful if it can long be sue
cessful Of course the most prominent
question the new House will have to
cope with is the question of Homerule
for Ireland. On that question the cam
paign has been fought and the victory
won in very large degree. To push it
into the background, if the premier
were SO disposed, would be impossible
inasmuch as such proceeding would
ALLEVIATE the Irish members and place the
government in the minority. Home rule
will be pressed as a matter of neces-
sity, and probably carried. But Home
rule has very little chance of getting
through the House of Lords, so that the
question will by no means be disposed of
when bill has passed in Commons. 1t
will still remain for the government to
decide whether it will lay it aside
after the lords have defeated it and
proceed with other matters or dissolve
parliament and again appeal to the
country, and on this rock the Gladstone
administration. is in great danger OF going
to pieces early in it's career, inasmuch as
it will be exceedingly difficult to get the
English and Irish members to see things
in the same light. The Gladstone govern
ment may be able to survive this crisis,
but it is one full of peril, and one to
which the Tories are looking with un-
feigned satisfaction as likely to cut short
Mr.. Gladstone's triumph. and recall
them to power.
