THE PROGRESS or HOME RULE.

Mr.. GladstOnes Irish Home Rule bill has at
last got through committee, and will now be
put to its third reading and passed by the
House of Commons, during the present week
There is no reason to look for any further
serious obstruction. In committee was the
place for that. II was there that effective de-
bate was to be made it was there that amend
ments, whether in good faith or dilatory and
Obstructive were to be offered it was there
that the Home Rule ranks were, if possible, to
be weakened by assertions and schism. There
was the real battle-ground, and there the battle
was fought Mr.. Balfour Mr. Chamberlain
and their followers did their utmost to defeat,
to delay, to modify materially, the hated
measure They have fired their most
effective shots, and have failed. In
some particulars the bill has been modi-
fed, but in principle and substance it is
tAc same measure that Mr.. Gladstone intro
duced last spring. And the result of the long
and bitter fight in committee is, that it is re-
ported to the House by the full Government
majority, and will speedily be adopted by the
House of Commons by similar majority, and
sent up to the House of Lords.
The fight in committee has indeed been Bit
ter, and memorable for more reasons than one.

TILE ART .JERY " CHICAGO.

The award OF medals and diplomas TO works OF
art exhibited at the Columbian Exposition has
attracted considerable attention in our art world.
The unpopular method Of Mr.. John Boyd Thacher
was in this instance departed from, and an inter
national jury decided upon the distribution Of the
single class recompense awarded Unlike the
custom in vogue at other eXpositi0ns, when first
and second class awards made as wcll as
honorable mention to works of lesser Importance
only class of medal has been granted The
American artists chosen to act upon the present
Jury were guarantee Of integrity and sqtIarcness
Of dealing, and they undoubtedly held the entire
confidence OF their fellows Of the brush and
chisel.
Nevertheless, surprise has been cxnrcsscd
that among the very fair percentage of works of
art honored in the American section so few of
our artists residing abroad are mentioned i'm the
list of medallists. That this unequal division of
awards indicates an increase of skill ammo our
resident painters is most gratifying conclu-
sion and should not in any way bc internrct.1

While sailing craft crippled by the big storm
of Thursday are still lmpng into port, and the
shores of the Sound and of the ocean are yet
strewn with wreckage, the announcement is
made by the United States Weather Bureau
in this city that another storm is brewing, and
that the atmospheric conditions as reported
from the Florida stations are precisely similar
to those which preceded last weeks hurricane.
It is to be hoped that seafaring men, both of
the professional and of the amateur class, will
pay more heed to the warnings Of the Weather
Bureau than they did on Wednesday, in which
case losses of life and craft will certainly prove
smaller than those of Thursday morning.

the Archbishop of Bordeaux on the eve OF the
recent general election in France He dis
tinctly condemns the idea that religion in its
august majesty should be sullied by being
mixed in the deceptive complications of poll
tics" He denounces in strong terms the prac-
tice-by no means confined to France, but
examples of which may be found here in the
United States-of converting the Roman Catho-
lie Church into the tool of political factions
and interests. These latter are often the re-
verse Of respectable, and under the circum-
stances cannot fail 10 degrade religion in the
