Gradual Reduction Until Wiped

Certain clauses secure the Initiative

bly,. We are now coming to the i'm
portant question Of the constabulary.

ance Of that force, with the discharge

way as will not adversely affect the
interests of the honorable force. Dur
ing the period of transition they are to
be under control of the viceroy. 1t Is
contemplated that they will be replaced
by force owing existence to the Irish
authorities IN local areas. On the i'm

whether 1t be principle or whether 1t

very organic detail which cuts rather
deep i'll some respects into the compost

ments whichmay be alleged in defense

ment l must put aside as
most dangerous argument, and
III itself quite unIenable. The
argument of those who say unless you

ment. | say that if you do admit it at

premacy in this country.
''Although | do not at all admit that
parliamentary supremacy depends upon
the retention Of Irish members, yet
quite admit that the retention OF mem
bers has great practical Importance be-
cause it admits and exhibits the suprem-
acy in manner ineligible to the peo-
pie. Besides it gives Ireland full

pose of mitigating any Inconvenience
which might thence arise. that Ireland
should have something to say about

ISSUANCE OF BONDS.
Senator Sherman's Resolution
Will Be Taken Up Today.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is. The senate
committee on finance will probably take
up at its meeting tomorrow Senator
Sherman's' resolution to authorize the
treasury, in case of necessity for the
maintenance of specie resumption,
to issue per cent five-year bonds.
An accidental omission in an item
previously published on this sub
ject resulted in statement that ''our
present per cent bonds were carrying
a premium of % per cent or over" AS
the context would probably indicate to
all familiar with the subject, and with
the market quotations, the sentence
should have read: Our present per
cent bonds. if renewed for forty years,
were capable Of carrying a premium OF
% per cent or over"
Representative Tracy, of New York,
has suggested to Representative Bacon,
of the banking committee, means by
which to get another vote on the Sher
man repeal bill. There is conference
between the house and the senate.
bill ''for the better control of and
to promote the safety of national
banks" the senate having added
new section to the bill as passed by the
house. Senators Sherman and Allison,
two of the three senate conterreeS, favor
repeal of the Sherman act, as do two
ont of the three house conferreeS, and
MIR. Tracy suggested that in conference
a clause repeating the Sherman act be
Incorporated in the bill, with such other
silver legislation as may be thought ad-
viSable, and that fight be made to get
it through congress in this way.
Josiah Quincy arrived in Washington
today, and had talk with several Dem
ocrats in congress on the silver ques-
ton. Not much interest appears to be
taken on the subject in the house, near
ly all the members being of the
opinion that last weeks vote set
tied the question for this congress.
There were some inquiries as to wheth-
er or not Mr.. Quincy bore any message
from Mr.. Cleveland. Chairman Bacon,
of the banking committee which had
charge of the recent attempt to repeal
the Sherman bullion purchase, saw MIR.
Quincy, but said that if that gentleman
bore any message from the president
elect it was not delivered to him Bacon.

THE HOME RULE BILL.

The Grand Old Man presented his
home rule bill in the commons yester-
day afternoon, and, as expected, made
a speech which will rank among his
greatest efforts. He asserted that with
a united Ireland the success of the bill
would be assured, and called attention
to the fact that the opposition in Eng
land had fallen from 21l in 1856 to II
now. His reference TO the minority op-
position of the North of Ireland recalls
a strange condition of human tendency.
At the close of the last century
the Protestant Irish were enthusiastic
supporters of Irish nationality. MI.
GLADSTONE boldly charged that the
Irish people were divided through a
plot, and this was carried out by the
means of Orange lodges. 1t Was a
British trap. and the Irish people
stepped into it. The backbone of the
division is then a question of religion.
1t is most sad to contemplate that that
which is meant for our spiritual good
and material advancement can be used
as means of doing so much harm.
With all the tyranny and starva-
ton which prevail in Ireland, the
sense of humanity is not able
to rise above religious prejudice. Out
side the Orange element the Protestants,
nearly all, stand with the Catholics
in the effort for home rule. This seems
like the last ditch for the Irish cause.

and cannot lead the cause many years
longer. There is no one who can fill his
shoes. 1t is the golden opportunity OF

Senator Sherman'S ReSOlu-

Committee Today.

New YORK. Feb. 13.-Secretary Eos
ter went to the subtreasury this after
noon and was Immediately closeted with
A Ssistant Treasurer Roberts. After an
hours conference it was announced that
the secretary was ready to see reporters.
In reply to numerous questions the sec
rotary said:
The situation is unchanged, and there
is nothing that [ can add to what have
said in the morning papers"
New YORK. Feb. 13.-The best infOr-
nation obtainable today, according to
the Posts financial man, was that at the
conference of bankers with Secretary
of the Treasury Foster yesterday, 1t
was practically decided by the secretary
to issue bonds probably to the amount
of 1000, 600, which the banks will take
and pay for in coin. Assistant Treas
urer Roberts stated positively that
no bonds will be issued, but this
statement is combatted by par
ties at the conference and in close
affiliation with the secretary, and they
assert that Mr.. Roberts is wrong. 1t
was also declared positively today that
the meeting of the clearing house COM
mittee last Tuesday was the result of a
communication from the secretary Of
the treasury to the effect that cOntri-
button of gold in exchange for legal
tenders would be acceptable.

LAND GRANT TAXATION.

The GLOBE is III entire sympathy with
the measure pending in the Legislature
proposing to amend the constitution SOFAS
to subject to taxation the lands granted
TO the railroads. They should never
have been exempted, and the sooner
they are made to share the general bur
den the better.
The only hesitancy felt arises from an
apprehension that it might release the
roads from the obligation to pay the
gross earnings tax. If this is removed,
there will be no doubt Of the passage Of
the bill. In a previous issue the Sug-
gestiOn was made that as the companies
had accepted the substitution of gross
earnings tax in lieu of all other taxation
on their property, including the land
grants, they might, should the state now
change its offer by Withdrawing the
lands from immunity, also withdraw
their acceptance of the substituted
method of taxation.
In reply to this it is urged that the
amendment Of 1871 expressly provides
for the amendment or repeal of the
gross earnings law by vote Of the peo-
pie; that the roads took notice Of this
right of repeal or change, and are sub
ject to it. AS the act offering the sub
stituted method was passed after the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment, the latter is binding on the COM
panleS in all its terms and conditions.
This right of amendment is unlimited.
1t might take form in an increase of the
tax. or in the withdrawal of one or more
classes of exempted property at the
pleasure Of the state. The roads could
not object or withdraw their acceptance
ance was made with the right of the
state to change expressly reserved.
There is another view of the case
which may explain the lack of opposi-
ton to the bill from the railroad COM
panies, which has been remarked as a
suspicious circumstance; the corpora
tons beng usually quick and vigorous
in their opposition to any measure
which increases their burdens. 1t has
been suggested that the bill was really
in their interests, they hoping to escape
by its adoption from the payment of
the gross earnings tax.
If it should tranSpire that the meas
ure should release them-the act of 1887
imposing gross earnings tax depend
ing for its validity on the amendment of
1871 and falling with that-then the
roads would be subject to general taxa
ton on the property values, the same as
all other property. They would be sub
ject to the general taxes of the state
and the local taxes of each subdivision
of the state through which they passed.
There are over 5, 800 miles of railroad in
the state. Their reported value is S42,-
900 per mile, or over 1921, 100000 If the
average rate of taxation were per cent
and the property were listed at half the
value. the tax would be over a million
dollars annually, as against the $500, 700
now paid. The certainty that if the
gross earnings tax falls the general law
will operate and increase the amount
they will pay, may be sufficient reason
for the apathy of the railroads. They
would rather bear the ills they have
than fly to others" which they know are

afternoon. when it will be signed.
There were present today Senators Al
llson and Jones, Ii. Cannon, of New
York; Prof. T.. Brown, of Brown uni
versity; Hon. j. B. McCreary, repre-
sentative from Kentucky. and l.. o.
Leech, director of the mint, delegates,
and Prof. Roland Faulkner, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. secretary. The
report will be very lengthy paper. and
will give, it is said, a complete pict-
ure of the proceedings of the
conference at its various sessions. 1t
will state to the president that, III the
opinion of the delegates from this
country, there was very much better
feeling towards the objects sought to be
accomplished manifested at the close of
the conference than at its beginning.
This was shown, they say, by the fact
that at first the delegation from this
country received but scant attention,
while at the end there was no del
egatiOn more sought after. At
first the foreign members of the
conference expressed an unwillingneSS
to engage i'll an academic discussion of
the question, preferriDg practical one,
but the delegates from this country adj
vOcated a presentation of principles
underlying bmetallism. and with such
success that the discussions took the
form that they suggested, and the mat
ter was discussed in all its phases, theO-
retical and practical.
One oil the delegates said that if there
had not been change of feeling on the
part of the foreign members of the con-
ference the adjournment in January
would have been sine die instead of
until the Goth of Nav. The United
States delegates hope for SubStan-
tial results from the adjourned meet
ing of Paris, believing as they
do that the foreign delegates to the cons
ference will come to that meeting with
specific instructions which will author
ize them to come to some conclusion
upon the subject. Instructions of this
character were lacking at the con-
ference at Brussels. Great Britain
holds the key to the situa-
ton, and the change of opinion
expressed by the delegates from that
country, with the exception of Ber-
trand Currie. give the United States
delegates a substantial basis for the
hope that at the meeting at Paris the at
titude of Great Britain will not be un-
friendly to silver. The delegates
from the United States, it is
said. will place their resig-
nations at the disposition of
PreSident-elect Cleveland, but whether
ornot any change in the personnel of
the delegation Will be made cannot be
stated. The report. after going to Pres
ident Harrison, will by him be trans
mtted to congress.

1.-The whole subject is full of thorns
and brambles, but our object is the au-
tOnOmy and Self-government of Ireland
in all matters properly Irish. The Irish
people certainly did not raise the diff
Guilty to which | have just alluded-the
retention Of Irish members i'll the house,
This is secondary matter in their
eyes and ought not to interfere with the
principal aim. In face of the feeling
that shade Of uncertainty still hangs
oyer the question of retention of the
Irish members, we have affixed to the
paragraph concerning this question the
words: Excepting and until parlia-
ment shall determine the coming finan-
cial legislation | wish to supply the
keynote to the financial part of the leg
islation. That keynote is to be
found in the provision included
in our plans for the first, and
wisely and generously acceded to by
ireland through her representatives,
that there is to be but one system of
legislation tor all the kingdoms. AS far
as external things are concerned that
will be found to entail very important
consequences. 1t has guided us to the
conclusion at which we-arrived, of unity
of commercial legislation for the three
Kingdoms. This includes customs and
excise duties, postoffice and telegraphs.
By adopting this keynote we can attain
to the most valuable results, and will be
likely to avoid the clashing of agents of
the imperial and agents of the Irish
government. We can make, under cover
of this proposal, a larger and more lib
eral transfer to Ireland in the manage
ment of her own affairs than we could
make if we proceeded on any other
principles. We hope to escape in this
way all collection in the Interior of Ire
land of any revenue whatever by I'M
perial authority"

SENT AFTER BOOKS.

New YORK. Feb. 13.-The special
committee of the house of representa-
tives, appointed to Investigate the af-
fairs of the Panama Canal company
met here today. Xavier Boyard was
the first witness. He said he had been
agent for the Panama company on the
isthmus in 1882, and came to New 7 Ork in
1888, where he acted as secretary for
the purchasing agent until 1887. when
he succeeded Mr.. Selela as purchasing
agent. and in 1889 he became agent for
the liquidator appointed. During the
time he was agent he kept the books of
the company so far as they re-
lated to purchases and disburse-
ments made by him. The account
books, papers and check books
used by MI. Boyard were then produced.
He came from Paris to New York in
1882 to take a position with the Panama
company, he said. 1t was under the in
structions of M. de LessepS that he
came He did not have all the books with
him which pertained to the purchases he
had made for the company. He was
told he must 90 and get them durlDg
the recess. The committee selected
such BOOKS brought by Mr.. Boyard as
they desired, and examined them this
evening. The committee adjourned to
meet az noon tomorrow.

it to be refused. 1t will be blot on

GRESHAM A DEMOCRAT.

Judge EGBERT JAMESON, of Chicago,
is quoted IN the telegraphic news as
saying that GRESHAM declined to per-
nit his name to go before the Minneap-
oils convention as candidate for presi-
dent, though he was urged to do so by
a powerful tollowing-his reason being,
as he stated to JAMESON, that he was
thoroughly in accord with the views of
GROVER CLEVELAND upon the tariff
question, hence was really Democrat.
Judge JAMESON is one of the most
prominent men of Chicago, and his
statement in the matter is high author
ity. 1t is certainly reasonable to be-
lieve that GRESHAM is and has been a
Democrat ever since the Republican
party violated It's pledge to give the
country tariff reform. Judge GRESHAM
is a man who acts upon principle,
hence he is a puzzle to the aver
age Republican politician. The Chicago
Tribune, Pioneer Press and many other
Republican papers were declaring for
tariff reform with all their editorial
strength, urging that the interests Of
the country ueInduueu III. Anu WHeu
the MCKINLEY bill bobbed up in con-
gress these papers denounced it as being
one of the worst measures that could
have been devised. Gov. NELSON, while
in congress, was one of the strongest
supporters of the MILLS bill, and he
came near renouncing allegiance to the
Republican party. In the last campaign
Gov. NELSON and every one of these
tariff reform Republican papers fell into
line with the MCKINLEY bill. The party
lash proved to be more powerful than
their principles. It is not so with Judge
GRESHAM. His principles are his HON
est convictions, and he will follow them
wherever they lead. They have led him
into the Democratic camp, and he is not
ashamed of his surroundings.
