The HOmc-RMlc Bill.

The ,,home-rule bill has passed the
British House Of Commons by a major
ity of "a. This result is a great per-
eonal triumph for Mr.. G~LADsToNE-a
splendid tribute to his genius as a poitl-
cal tactician and TO his personal mag
netism. 1t is safe to say that no other
British statesman could have carried
the measure so far in the face OF such
adverse conditions. His persistence IN
the cause during the six years he has
championed it, and the consummate
skill with which he has managed TO keep
together his heterogeneous majority in
the present House, challenge the adj
miration of friend and foe alike.
But after all the fight for Irish self
government is only half won There
seems to be no question that the House
of Lords will reject the bill. What then?
Will there be a dissolution of Parliament
and the measure be presented to the
Lords q second time, as was the case with
the reform bill of 1881, or will the Queen
exercise an ancient royal prerogatiVe and
dismiss the Ministry? The last-named
%recourseis hardly among the possibilities,
nor do the opposition seem to expect the
first. The fate Of the bill would there
fore seem to be involved il the question
whether the Lords will finally recede, as
they did in 1881. On this point it will
be difficult to speculate with any degree
OF satisfaction until the tactics OF the
Upionists and Tories have been further
developed. When we consider, how
ever, that the same pressure connot he
brought to bear upon the peers that was
used in respect of the reform bill, the
chances seem to be in favor Of eventual
dissolution and appeal to the people.
This view is strengthened by the fact
that Parliament will now devote its time
to other legislation which incidentally
may cause dissension in the home rule
ranks and encourage the Lords to take
a holder attitude than they would have
otherwise assumed.

The Cigar-Smokers.

According to Mr.. MORSE. OF Massa.
chusetts, zone member Of Congress, to
his certain knowledge, refused r~e-elec.
ton on account Of the smoking on the
floor" and hs hints that he may be
driven 10 the same dire extremity.
1t seems that smoking is allowed in
the ball before the Houses sessions
begin, and that when the Speaker calls
the House to order he docs not dismiss
the smoke. This is pretty hard on Mr..
MORSE and others who, like him, do
not smoke. but we doubt If he can get
justice done him. Tho smokers are in
tho majority, and win have their own
way, and what is more, many Of them
seem wholly Indifferent to the discom-
fort 10 which this self-indulgence OF
theirs subjects others. This being the
case, we can only recommend to Mr..
Msnsg TO lsarn 10 smoke. II be would

The Pirates of the Chesapeake

The Pirates of the Chesapeake.
The position Of commander of the
Virginia oyster fleet is vacant by the
death of the gentleman who lately held
that position and there are u number OF
applicants for it.
it is regarded as a desirable berth; but
It is O place of danger as well rs a place
OF honor and emolument, for though
the high seas are nowadays clear of
pirates, the Chesapeake bsy is still
infested with them-at least with So
called pirates" These are shippers
who depredate upon the oyster beds OF
the Commonwealth and who on occas-
ions, when caught in their crime, have
not hesitated to "show fight.
Up to this time the General Assembly
has not considered that the Common
wealth's revenues from her oyster beds
justified any increase of the fleet. but
an increase is clearly necessary and we
trust that the forthcoming reports of orr
fiscal officers will show that the revenue
from the oyster-beds o warrants the
needed appropriation.
We should like to see the Chesapeake
cleared Of these "pirates." For this pur-
pose, we should have enough vessels
to pounce upon them and give them [
lesson which they would never forget.
tits due TO the dignity OF Virginia that
these marauders-nearly oil OF whom
are non-residents-should be scattered
never to return.
The DISPATCH has no candidate for
the vacant position. Our only wish is
for the Board charged with the select
ton Of this officer to get the best man
possible. He should have good judge
ment, vigor and determination, and
knowledge of the work before him at
we mistake not, public opinion in Vir-
GINA will not much longer countenance
trifing with this question. The system
of "piracy" which prevails on the
Chesapeake must be ~uprooted and ODE
dance to our laws enforced no matter
what the cost.
The men who sail into our State to
despoil our oyster-beds are robbers who
will take life where necessary to secure
their plumber or make good their escape
when detected in the preparation Of
their crime. We have had enough of
them. Let us be quit of them, by
striking them a blow which they will
never forget, and the repetition Of which
they will not court.

Editor G. G. Goodwin, in an editorial

Lake Tribune. from Washington, D. c.,
has unearthed . new move in the great
game Of conspiracy now being played by

. bargain has been entered into with the
Republicans Of the East and the admin.

the great manufacturers Of the East are
not to be injured. The tariff will be
stricken from Western raw material,
and trimmed Q little on Eastern manu-.
featured goods to correspond, but the
only result will be to stop the establish.
ment Of any new plants in the South
and West, while the heavy concerns
will not be interfered with. II will be
seen by this that the President actually
controls both the old parties in the East.
After reading MIR. Goodwin's expose. it
is readily understood why the Republi.
cans voted almost solidly for the repeal
Of the Sherman law 10 the House Q short
time ago. II is also as equally under.
