The Premier Replies TO His Adve-sary's
Attack on Home Rule-How the Tory
Thunderer Views the Controversy
Tammany Methods In Ireland.
LONDON, Sept 24.-The Times has the
full text of Mr.. Gladstone's vindication of
home rule, which was to appear in an
American publication to-day, cabled to it
from New York last night. This article is
written in reply to one by the Duke of
Argyll published in the same magazine last
month This mornings issue of the Times
contains, besides Mr.. Gladstone's article, a
long leader, in which it attacks his premises
and deductions
1t appears that the interest the Duke has
always taken in American sfairs, his
sympathy constantly displayed for Ameri-
can ideals, the promptitude and earnestness
with which he championed the Federal
cause at time when Mr. Gladstone was in
forming the civilized world that the rebel
President had made a nation, naturally won
for him the grateful respect of patriotic
American citizens Mr.. Gladstone evil
Gently feared that the effects of the state
ments made on the authority of one so well
entitled to the confidence of American citi-
zens might exercise them. He endeavored
to counteract their effects by promptly
issuing characteristic reply.
The fundamental propositions the Times
saws the Duke of Argyll lays down are
not the kind to be affected by slight mac
curacies or disposed of by the passionate
rhetoric Mr. Gladstone seeks to palm of as
an argument, and Americans from their
experiences have slight difficulty
in deciding whether, as rule, Irish organ
izations managed by Irish partisans are dis
tinguished Tor intelligence or integrity.
The Times adds:
We have heard of Tammany events on the
other side OF the ocean, and OF the arts by
which Tammany Hall was secured. Mr..
Gladstone's ideal is Ireland ruled on Tam
m. ny principles, unrestrained by any Ell.
fectuai legal limits save of his own making.
We see nothing in the disjointed tracts and
documents he advances with
so mucn unnecessary pomp to weaken the
de cription his opponent has given. His
efforts at historical inquiry are all per-
meated with that tone of fable which in |
marks his description OF Irish |
events.

An Oil Man After Gas.

National Republican headquarters boasts
of Pennsylvania man who was once re-
ppted an oil millionaire round about Titus
vile. He is now boring for oil for Colonel
Carter and salary. When he strikes
''first sand" we will hear more of him. His
name is R H. Lee. Although Pennsyl-
vanian, Captain Lee was commander of the
Sixteenth New York Independent Battery
during the war, and is said to have made a
good military record. Captain Lee still
owns oil wells in Wash ington and All e.
gheny counties, Pa He was once large
producer and rpfner of oil, and during the
palmy days of the oil regions had a goo d
deal Of money. Just now he doesn't kno "
whether he is better or worse for having a
few oil wells on his hands

5000 CASES OF FEVER.
London Has an Epidemic of the Fear
full Red Scourge That Is
MORE CONTAGIOUS THAN CHOLERA
A Conflict Between Two Boards Prevents
the Proper Care
FOR THOSE STRICKEN WITH THE PLAGUE
rBY CABLE TO THE prsPArcH.1


LONDON, Sept 24--London il TODAY
suffering from an epidemic not so deadly a
cholera, but serious enough to demonstrates
the utter inadequacy of the boosted prepa-
rations for coping with any form of pesti-
lence. There are about 5000 cases Of soar
let fever in this metropolis, and the disease
Is spreading rapidly.
A week ago mentioned that the hospital
accommodation for such cases was already
overtaxed Now that the authoritie. are at
their wits end. they have not only ac-
knowledged themselves helpless, but they
have uncovered q scandal on the local Gov
ernment such as Englishmen have been
fond of declaring could exist only under the
scheming ambition Of transatlantic institu-
tions
Hospital management in London has been
under strong suspicion and criticism of late.
The Local Government Board, so called, is
the general sanitary authority. Tho
Metropolitan Asylums Board Is the local
executive authority, which has charge
especially of the public hospitals for con-
tagious diseases in London. Neither board
is directly responsible to the people.
It transpires that there has been for
months practical deadlock between these
two governing functions In the midst OF
what has grown to be a serious emergency
the Asylums Board throws up its hands,
and a resolution adopted this week, appeals
to the Boards of Guardians the sanitary au-
thorities and the press to use their inhu-
ence to prevent such scandal. The board
says it has appealed to the Local Govern
ment Board for months for additional hospi-
tai accommodations, and thus lar in vain.

Growth of the Pair In the Senate.


When Senator wanted to go away in
Blaine's time he went to a brother Senator
OF the other political party and arranged
with him privately to abstain from voting
on important political questions and to pub
licly announce, should the occasion arise,
that he was paired" with the gentleman
from So-and-so and il that gentleman were
present he would vote on such side, and
that he, the Senator from So-and-so, would
vote on the other. This kept the record OF
both gentlemen straight and did not affect
the main issue. IL was called pair. |"
This elaborate definition il necessary from
the fact that most people think that pair
means two OF kind and beats ace high. In
this case it means exactly the opposite.
That is the way ii used to be in the Sem
ate OF the United States when James G.
Blaine was in 1t. The system implied the
presence of one party to. announce the pair
and keep the record Straight But the
rapid progress of events brought along a
new and improved system by the operation
of which neither Senator need be present
They don't even have to bother about hunt
ing up Senator of the opposition. The
pair once officially recognized, an official
pair-maker followed as a matter of course
The pair-maker looks after the absent
Senators and pairs them one with another
without causing them the expenditure of
unnecessary thought So it is now possible
tor Senator to 60 home and mend his
fences, or go off and get drunk without
jeopsrdizing his political record. In fact,
it isn't necessary to 60 to Washington at
all-and q certain California millionaire
Senator did not go, being paired through
the entire session.

Buying the Tomb of the Savior,
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcu-

LONDON, Sept 24-John Murray, the
head of the British publishing house, has
made an appeal to the public for funds to
purchase the tomb outside the Damascus
gate, at Jerusalem, which is believed by
many experts to be the actual tomb of the
Savior. The intention is to preserve the
tomb from desecratlon and to maintain a
garden around the sacred spot. The amount
required is e6, 900.

Blaine,s Latest Contribution to Politics.

Speaking of the Maine election remind s
me OF the disposition in certain Harrison
ian quarters to find fault with one James G.
Blaine for not voting. This absurd cavll
has driven that voter into carding the news
papers in explanation. The gist of his ex-
cuse is that he didn't have time and that he
was 'paired." That explanation ought to
satisfy the most exacting political manager.
There were q good many voters in Name
who didn't have time, and who were not
"paired," either. The fact is, this ques-
tion of pairs is not thoroughly understood
throughout the country, and Mr.. Blaine's
explanation of why he didn't vote is there
fore one Of the most valuable contribut tions
to campaign literature. American politics
can never be considered worked up to the
highest style of the art until the pairing
system long In vogue in Congress is gener-
ally introduced and perfected The custom
OF pairs is well understood by q man like
Blaine, who has sat in both Houses OF Con-
gress with distinguished ability, and it only
remained for the father OF reciprocity and
other political innovations to engratt PAIRS
with big "P"-on our national electoral
system to round out and polish off a grand
political career.
In the Senate of the United States the
theory and practice of pairs is carried to
higher state OF perfection than obtains any
where else in the world; though the Ma
tional House of Representatives, if you will
pardon the expression, amt no slouch.

REsCUIHG A NAVAL RELIC.

Lord Nelson's Old Flag Ship to Be Purchased
by a Mansion House Fund.
LONDON, Sept 24-It having been an
nounced for some time that the old line-of-
battle-ship, the Foudroyart, which the
English captured from the French and
which subsequently became the flagship of
Admiral Nelson, was to be sold to be broken
up, many indignant protests have been
written against the warship being con-
demned to such a fate.
So strong was the patriotic feeling that
Lord Mayor Evans gave his consent yester-
day to open a Mansion House fund for the
purchase of the ship. The vessel has been
laid up for many years.

A Smart Man From West Virginia.

The Republican National Committee has

in personal appearance. He is short, heavily
set, of great girth and of features fat, child
like and bland, and when he laughs his eyes
dance merrilv and his fatness shakes all
