Tho objection made by Senator Hill in the United
States senate Thursday against referring the reso-
luton OF inquiry offered by Senator PETER was sound
TO the core despite tho claim Of Senators Uonr Cor.
man. and Others that to institute the inquiry just
would have tendency TO excite the prevailing mon o.
tary anxiety The inquiry WAS simply as to whether
the National Bank law had been violated. 1t 10 true
Senators iioar and German admitted that law had
been violated not only lately bnt OCCASION several
times in years past but their admission sounded too
much like Tweed famous inquiry, what arc you

Tho bill for the repeal OK tho purchasing
clauso OF the SHERMAN act passed the House
yesterday by vote Of $40 10 ITO. The
greatest strength shown by the silver men
was on the proposition for the restoration
OF tho BLAND ALLISON net. which was
beaten by 2i3 TO 1885, and their greatest
weakness was shown on the II to ratio.

In the Senate the final vote was taken In

The Lord Mayor Of Dublin. who will soon
be with US. Is certainly entitled to as good re-
ception in New York as that OF any OF the other
distinguished foreign visitors who have been
here this summer. We have welcomed Span
iards and East Indians and Russians and Eng
lishmen. but not yet an Irishman. Lord Mayor
SHANKs deserves to be honored In this place.
1t Is but little while since he gave a grand
banquet in Dublin to the officers OF our crack
naval cruiser. the Chicago. and took them
through the streets amid the shouts OF the
populace. He has repeatedly taken occasion
to proclaim his friendship to the United States,
and has been hospitable to Americans
who have visited the capital OF Ireland.
We are aware that he recently gave
umbrage to some OF the members
OF the Municipal Council of Dublin. by
neglecting to invite them to tho Chicago Of
lcers' banquet: but that Is an affair between
him and them. with which New York has
nothing to do.
We have a right to feel tho assurance that
when the Right Hon. JAMES EuASKs comes

be honored not less than some Of the other
distinguished foreigners We have welcomed

In these days Of disasters on the coast.
special interest attaches to the bill which Mr.
Frye has introduced into the Senate directing
that experiments shall be made to determine
the most effective means OF establishing and
maintaining communication by telephone or
other electrical apparatus between lightships
aud outlying lighthouses and the Shore The
purpose aimed at. Of course. Is to furnish
prompt assistance to vessels in distress that
can DO seen from the lightships and light
houses, but not from the shore. 1t Is evident
that where there is but little depth Of water
along the coast and shoals to be feared. and
above all where gales warn vessels to keep
OF shore. mishaps may come to coasters as
well as to other vessels that are too far away
to be seen from the llfe-saving stations or
other points on the land. Even where In such
cases the latter could not furnish relief. they
could. IL informed seasonably. send word to
ports from which assistance might be for
warded. The inquiry proposed will aid tho
merchant marine: and. since such electrical
communication Is perfectly feasible. 1t might
well be established, at least near the principal
ports. and at points on tho coast where disas-
tiers are IN ost likely to occur.

ing that the Iowa Democrats did not want
him TO have third term. They showed
that they did. The Republican Convention
had kicked away prohibition. and the OPP
portunity for another canvass directed to
national issues. and especially to the pro-

In the August number Of the North Ameri-
can Revie,o the leader Of tho Antl-Parnellite
party gives his reasons for pronounclng tho
House OF Lords an institution which Is pro-
ductive OF much evil and of no good
whatever. As tho author OF a His
tory OF Our Own Timcs." Mr. JUSTIN
MCCARTHY should be well qualified to
discuss the record OF tho upper House
OF Parliament during tho Victorian
era. and his arraignment OF that b ody Is
undoubtedly vigorous and oogent. Never
theless. his article Is not entirely satisfao-
tory. because no overlooks the one plausible
plea on behalf OF the institution.
Mr.. MCCARTHY enumerates number OF
important measures which the Lords at
first rejected. but which they were subse-
qucntly forced by the pressure OF public
opinion to pass. These measures include,
among others. tho first Reform act,
the provision for voting by ballot. the
admission OF nonconformists to the
English universities. the abolition OF
the duty on paper. and the discs
Enlistment OF the Anglican Church In Ire
land. 1t Is true that In these matters the
event has proved that the upper House was
wrong and that the Commons were right.
1t Is also true that there Ia now scarcely
any Tory. and certainly no Tory leader.
who regrets the passage OF those measures.
Nevertheless. the Intelligent Tories hold
and their position should have been fairly
stated by Mr.. McCARTHY-.that no harm
was done. or rather less harm than good
was done. by the delay resulting from the
veto imposed by the Lords In the first
Instance, and the Conbeuuent ueCesRity
OF appealing 10 the deliberate second
thought OF the electors. They point
out what their critic fails to note.
that In number OF instances the negative
pronounced by tho Lords has beon sustained
by public opinion. or at all events has not
provoked any vehement protest. Such was
