IT is amusing to observe the rivalry
existing between our two local Republi-
ca dailies in regard to the christening
of the new cruiser Minneapolis which is
in course of construction at the docks in
Philadelphia. The bicephalous organ,
whose evening edition is almost a repeti-
ton of it's matutinal issue, conceived the
happy idea Of opening up column for
popular young ladies to contest for the
honor of presenting eolors and baptizlng
the Minneapolis before it is launched
into the water. Miss Elizabeth North
rup, daughter of Cyrus Northrup, OF the
State University, proved to be the most
popular candidate of the seventy young
ladies who competed. and every reader
of the Tribune" supposed she would
officiate on the occasion. What was their
surprise to learn through the "Journap
that Miss Washburn, youngest daughter
of Senator w. D. Washburn, had been
selected by Henry w. Cramp, the builder
of the cruiser. to offciate at the ''chrlst,
ening" by breaking bottle Of cham
payne. Mr::Cramp was also represented
as having said that no colors were neces.
sary to be presented by the people OF this
city as the government would provide
them, but he suggested that if silver
service we're given it would be a suitable
gift which woul be duly appreciated by
the officers of the war ship. The Trib-
une wired to the Secretary OF the Navy
and was informed that it is not custom
ary for the builders to name the lady to
christen ships; that it is duty devolving
upon tho secretary and that his successor
will appoint her. Senator Washburn
also sent dispatch saying that no ar
rangements for the ceremony had been
vet made, and that the boat will not be
launched till May. The Journal persists
in the statement that Mr.. Cramp has a
legal right to name the lady, as the boat
will not become the property of the gov
eminent until after the launching. And
so the matter stands at present. The
Tribune has opened subscription COL
umn for the purchase of colors and de-
clares that Miss Northrup will present
them, while the Journal has already col
lectod upward of $4,000 to purchase a
silver service, and Senator Washburn,
Mayor Eustis and Thomas Lowry head
the subscription list with $500 zach.
Our readers can now contribute to
either or neither OF the funds as they
see proper.

JAMES j. KAvANAUGH,a talented young
Democrat of La Crosse, Wis, paid q fine
tribute to Blaine, in which he said: 1--WE
honor men of other times; We honor
lincoln, we honor Washington, we
honor Grant, because their legacy has
been that of liberty, but we honor
Blaine above all, for we knew him; he
belonged to our time, and his spirit is to-
day lowering around the Preside of the
American heart, tanning it's vibration
into irresistible homage and devoted
nass.''

HOME RULE ENDANGERED.

Inc Dublin papers TO lAuu lAulcAto
beyond doubt that the strife which has
existed for two years between the prom
inent members of the two Irish parties
is not yet at an end They contain re-
ports of speeches recently delivered by
William O'Brien and John Redmond,
which show that strong spirit OF hos
tility is still alive in the breasts of the
faction leaders. It appears that John
Redmond and his handful of followers
are resolved that the Liberal minis
try shall grant amnesty to the Irish pc
litical prisoners before they accept
Home Rule measure from Gladstone, no
matter how satisfactory 1T may prove.
They also demand in their public utter
ances that the Evicted Tenants bill shall
be passed before Home Rule. William
O'Brien and his coufreres denounce the
Redmondites because they will not join
the majority party in first obtaining the
Home Rule bill. We stand at this mo-
ment, says O'Brien, on the very thresh-
old of that for which in all generations
of Ireland true Irishmen have spent
their money and their liber' les and their
lives even to obtain. The doors of an
Irish Parliament are opening widely in
front of as, and the one thing we ask our
countrymen is that at such a moment
they should not tie cur hands, that they
should not discredit and repudiate the
representatives of Ireland, that they
should not wantonly wreck the hopes
and liberties of Iseland' and fling this
country back another generation into
turmoil, coercion, and despair. That is
our programme of waiting for the Home
Rule bill, of giving simple fair play to
the Home Rule ministry, of giving sim
pie fair play to our own Irish nation
when our liberties ara at stake. O'Brien
declares there are ouly two ways OF gov
srning Ireland-the Tory way which i
force, and the Liberal way which is
force, too, but force plus the consent, the
freedom and good will of the people gov
erned. Another bone of contention be-
tween the leaders is the question OF the
veto Of bills passed by the Dublin par
lament, That is question which de-
serves the most careful consideration,
and before the bill is presented all Irish
Nationalist should have agreed upon it.
It would be a humiliating spectacle to
see Dillon, O'Brien, Redmond and Har-
rington disagree in the British parlia-
ment on any feature of the Home Rule
BILL A division between Irish members
on the floor of the House may prove ia
tai to the BILL The eight recalcitrants
styling themselves Parnellites should re-
strain themselves while the bill is under
discussion. Their sttitude will be
closely watched by the irish people
throughout the world, and il they at
tempt to thwart the will IF the Irish ma
jority by identifying themselves with
the Tories in opposing the bill, they will
merit the execration of their race and be
branded as traitors to their country. No
true Irishman will at this crisis render
aid and comfort to the hereditary enc.
mics OF Irish nationality. A coalition
between Tories and Redmondites would
blast for ever the names Of the .'Boy OF
Wexford" and his followers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
The market has been mixed to-day, but in
spite of the continued weakness of the industri-
al shares, the railway list showed considerable
strength. London buying was noted, but in the
main fluctuations were traceable to the opera
tons of room traders. The situation is not easy
to read and the cause of its unsettled features:
we suggest pursuing conservative policy AS re-
CARDS the industrial stocks, the element of ma
nipulation Is always an uncertain factor but the
prospect of industrial changes proposed by the
present scheme of tariff revision is not calcu-
lated TO induce support. 1t remains to be seen
now lar the tariff question will check the recent
tendency to business Improvement and as there
is no certainty as to what may be the final re-
suit OF legislation, it is not wise to ignore posi-
bilities of disturbances in trade and reduction
In wages, which may further diminish the pur-
CHASING power of the mass of the people. tits
hard to measure the possibilities of the agita-
ton which will soon begin on the floors OF Con-
gress, and there may be disposition to wait
and watch the course OF bank exchanges and
railroad returns in the future. On the other
hand the situation is supported by the immense
sums of idle capital which are now giving
strong tone to the railway bond market and
stimulating demand for frst-class stocks.
These conditions are greatly in favor of bull
manipulation, and are of decided practical i'm
portance at the present. We should urge dis
elimination in operations in view of the doubts
connected with the general outlook, but unless
there should be new unfavorable developments
the prevailing hopeful sentiment of the street
seems to render it safe to buy good stocks on
the reactions
