HE "Grand Old Man." England's
premier, has reached what has for years
been III eliminating point, the goal of
his ambition. On Monday he delivered
his speech in parliament, in explanation
u support Of his home rule bill. the
plan OF practical self-governmept for
Ireland, upon the success Of which his
heart has long been set. Mr.. Gladstone's
majority is but a narrow one, however.
and even within their numbers there ia a
faction OF considerable strength, whose
members Gre not satisfied with his mea-
sure. They assert that the premier has
not gon far enough in the bill, that he
stops just at the point which mnst
be passed to give the plan sue.
cess. 1t is therefore, question:
able whether the suffarino
people OF much-abused Ireland will not
be again doomed to disappointment and
another long period Of waiting. The
basis OF government provided for by the
bill is similar to that of a territorv:in tba
united States, except that the local
executive, appointed by the imperial
government, will have tue unusual pre.
rogatlve OF an absolute veto over the
local parliament. The constabularv
iorce, perhaps the most obnoxious of the
many hated features of the present avs.
tenn, Is to be gradually replaced by a
police organization dependent directly
upon the local authorities. It is to he
sincerely hoped that Ireland's friends
Will endeavor to overlook whatevar
faults they may find in the home ru]e
bill, and unite in supporting it and its
author in his endeavor to give to Ireland
a government as nearly autonomous az
ls at present possible.

THE NEED OF ORGANIZATIONS.

The men elected to the legislature by
the respective parties are usually chosen
because of their supposed fitness as
party leaders. They are relied upon to
represent the dominant sentiment in
their communities and are the leading
spirits IN nominating conventions. The
people, in theory, at least, elect the state
officers, choose the members of congress
and through the legislature have a voice
in the election of senators. They "
allegiance to the people, it is true, but in
sustaining the true interests of their
party they best promote the interests of
the people and best prove their WORTH
ness to be chosen a representative of the
people.
In territorial days there was no in
centive to party organization. Party
patronage was given as a matter of
favor, usually to those having no inter
ests in the affairs Of the territory, as a
reward for political work done elsewhere
often grudgingly given in order to
Danish the person on whom the favor
was bestowed.
Admission to statehood gave political
opportunities and untried, ambitious
men contended with each other for
supremacy. Unused to party discipline
not accustomed to working together
! party harness, the disappointed ones
have divided the party into factions and
chaos reigns throughout the state. so
far as party interests are concerned.
This situation is not peculiar to North
Dakota alone, but is the same in all of
the new states. The democratic ma
1ority in Montana is in precisely the
same fix that the republican majority Is in
in North Dakota. All want to be lead
ers-al want to be generals in the fight.
Washington and Wyoming, commencing
to ballot for senator on the same day AZ
North Dakota, are still ballotiDg, the
majority able to agree, the minority re-
fusipg to yield.
1t is possible that the one man on the
jury is wiser than the other eleven: it is
possible that the minority which is

TAKING the dispatches relative to the
probable membership of Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet for what they are worth, as
straws showing the direction ..of the
wind, it seems highly probable that1the
cabinet of the president.e elect will prove
a decided anomaly in modern political
history. Should the men assigned to
portfolios by current and apparently we'll
founded rumor be appointed and.con-
tirmed, the cabinet will be of a very high
order IN ability and character. The pro-
posed, or rather supposed appointments
Will be the cause of much disappoint-
ment and disaffection, while they will
also produce marked admiration for the
nerve of a president who shall dare so to
depart from the beaten track. II would

Cleveland. in view of the certainty of
his retirement to private life, after this
term, has determined to break away from
the conventional in his administration.
and seek to give his term an unique dis.

such a course is not, of course, good pol-
ltlcs' Ii can only tend to a disruption of
party ties. a d%isintegration of parties.

The quotation made by you from
the Express was perhaps not in
tended to work an injury to the
credit of this city, as it no doubt
did, but was an i'll timed fling in
an attempt to draw the attention
of the people here from owning
and controlling the waterworks
which met with an ignominous
failure, and served no other pur-
pose than to raise the question of
the ability of this city to meet its
coupons.
1 trust you will give the same
publicity to this communication
that you did to the affairs of this
city in your issue of the 9th in
slant. Very respectfully,
(Signed) GEORGE PAsCHAL,
Mayor.

made to meet these payments is

president of the Water works COM

turn off the water if arrearages Of

doubtful if the August coupons

will be paid.
TheiSan Antonio Express says
of the notice to the National City
bank: "The San Antonio bank
has given notice that it will not
continue to meet and carry inter-
est account of the city due in New
York. This is unfortunate, but
does not justify the impOtent cry
of the mayor that by reason of that
act the credit of the city is forever
blasted. 1t is true that if the
mayor does not possess sufficient
financial ability and public conf
dence to get us out of this trait, we
will be in a bad way indeed in the
matter of credit"
The mayor then said: 81 have

ing reply to it,"
San Antonio, Tex, July III, 1856
Bankers Special Service, New
York, Gentlemen: Your issue of
the 9Th instant reached me today.
l am surprised that you should
have intimated therein that the
July coupons of this city were
"evideutly in default" of payment.
Notice was given in the New York
papers before the coupons fell due
that they would be paid at the
Chemical National bank, and they
were in fact so paid.
In the same article you state
the amounts of coupon interest
that will become due by the city
from August l to January l, and
finish by saying: at is doubtful
if the August coupons and those
falling due this year will be paid"
In answer to this l wish to say
that your conclusions are unfair
and unwarranted, as provisions
have been made for the August
coupons and all other coupons OF
this city and they will be met.

Mr.. Breckenridge and Mr.. Herff

There was a young lover who was a
compound-very rare-of high rank and
great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Most noble lords
know their own value and behave ac-
cordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself SO far
so very far-below the worth of the
young lady whom he loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies, it's a sure and certain sign Of a
noble character, because only lofty
soul can conceive the existence Of god
dess. We measure others, you see, by
ourselves. 1t is also sure sign of love,
because such a man can only love wo-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour.

all, do not laugh at it, This young man
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the

Professor Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed SO Irish laborers
