GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
The Home Rule Bill Passed to Its
Second Reading.
A VOTE OF 347 TO $40 ON STRICT
PARTY LINES.

instead OF Peace-BalfOur's Defence
of Coercion-How the Grand Old Man
Berated His Opponents-The Result of
the Vote Received with Cheers.
LONDON, April 21.-In the Commons
this afternoon, Sir Henry James, Liberal
Unionist, spoke against the home rule
bill. He said the imperial parliament
formed a democracy best able to settle
Irish grievances. Instead of being a
massage of peace between the two coun-
tries, the bill was a message of war.
The bill surpassed the ingenuity of man
in devising proposals to bring law into
contempt. There was not man in Ire
land who could not set it's provisions at
defiance. Neither could the judges en-
force it. Had the bill been explained to
the English constituencies the present
even limited English minority in sup
port of it, nor would the present prime
minister have everlagain sat on govern
ment bench.
Mr.. Balfour said the home rule bill
was brought forward to meet the Liberal
party's necessities, which were connected
with the Irish agitation and Irish crime.
Hear. hear.] Never had such an impor-
taI1t constitutional change been proposed
with such fimsy reasons. Mr.. Balfour
argued at length to prove that coercion
in ireland was productive of benefcent
results and that under the last Salisbury
cabinet, ireland was becoming tranquil.
Agrarian crime began before the union.
After the union it had to be treated with
methods long used against it. Under
the union agrarian crime had decreased.
Mr.. Gladstone said the principal weap-
ons OF the opposition were bold assertion,
persistent exaggeration, constant mis-
construction and copious arbitrary and
baseless prophesies. For the first time
in so years, the bill would secure the SUI
premacy Of parliament founded upon
Irish leaders had accepted the bill in
good faith. The opposition evaded
steadfastly the real question of the second
reading. How must Ireland be gov
erned if this bill was rejected? The
present bill sought to close controversy
that had lasted for centuries. Under it's
provisions, Ireland would start on new
basis with all the recollections of the
past effaced. Everything hitherto de-
manded by Ireland was refused because
she was viewed with distrust and disbe-
lief. Her loyal acceptance of the pres
.,ent bill should cause distrust and disbe-
lief to vanish, There had been no dis
affection of the Irish mind since the door
of hope was opened.
Geo. Bartley, Conservative for North
Irvington, rose to continue the debate
when Mr.. Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land, moved that the closure be adopted
without division An announcement
that the bill had passed its second read
ing, BAT TO $40. was the signal for cheers
and hat waving. The division was taken
on strict party lines. Every Nationalist
member voted with the majority. The
Dissident Liberals to man went with
the opposition.

that were ever framed. From the
very day it went into effect, however,
the quality Of the milk used in the
principal cities in the State has
steadily improved, and now it is found
that the products Of the dairy there
are way above the legal standard.
Milk TO lie good must, according TO
the law, contain per cent. Of butter
fat. During the month Of July, out
Of the many tests that were made in
various parts Of the State, there wee
only four dealers whose milk was |
per cent. higher than the legal figure,
while the bulk Of the milk barely
passed the law. Tests made Il month
later, however, showed the milk of
fifteen dealers TO contain per cent
Of butter fat, and now it is rarely
that the tests show less than $50 or
per cent. Commissioner Upper is
now satisfied that there is no State in
the Union where purer milk is sold.
The law provides that any person
who shall sell, or exchange, or eX-
pose for sale, deliver or bring to an
other for domestic use, or to be con-
verified into any product of human
food whatsoever, any unclean, inn
pure, unhealthy, adulterated, I'M
wholesome or skinned milk, or milk
taken from an animal having disease,
or was taken from an animal fifteen
days before or less than five days after
parturition, shall, upon conviction
thereof, be fined not less than SO nor
more than 800, and he liable in
double the amount Of damages TO the
persons on whom such fraud shall be
committed. The law authorizes the
dairy commissioners to appoint agents
in every city having over 10000 in
habitants, and to collect samples Of
the milk sold in such cities. 1t is
their duty to forward such samples to
the Office OF the commissioner in Des
Moines. The compensation of such
agent at any one time is not to be
more than So for collecting and de-
liyerng the same to express compan-
les. The law also provides that the
number Of times samples are collected
in each city shall not exceed an aver
age Of thirty times during any one
year.

entirely frJendless as he. Those whose
friendship is most desirable shrink from
approaching him lest their motives be
misconstrued, and he is perpetually
surrounded by crowd OF political and
other sycophants. 1t is hardly possible
for him TO have real friend.
President Pierce was enormously
popular. Every day he took regular

the Capitol along Pennsylvania avenue
and back, bowling TO rybody right
and left. He and his wife paid social
visits regularly, quite contrary TO usage.
to the families OF their New Hampshire
friends who had clerkships in the de-
rartments, and he entertained them as
guests. President Harrison the first
used TO go 10 market early in the morn
ing two or three times week, and on
one occasion he was caught in the rain,
the result being a cold which caused
his death. Mrs. Polk would not allow
dancing at the White House when her
husband was President.
President Tyler was very social D1an
and en-, Dyed "A game OF poker for small
stakes. He lived very simply at the
White House. as il on his plantation,
attended by the old family slaves. He
always asked visitors to take something
from the sideboard in the d.ning-room,
which was garn shed with decanters "a
well as with bowl of juleps in summer
and bowl Of egg-nogg in winter. In
this sort OF hospitality he expended
nearly all his salary, which was only
So 900. He had one remarkable ex-
perience with notorious woman named
Ann Royal. She edited a paper called
the Paul Pry, and made herself so
offensive in various ways that she was
ind cted as a common scold under the
old common law, and only by a very
narrow squeak escaped immersion by
the "ducking stool. One day she
caught Mr.. Tyler ba hing in the Poto-
mic and succeeded in interviewing him
by sitting on his clothes until he told
her what she wanted. This exploit has
certainly not been excelled by the do
ings of any OF the modern unterrified
female reporters who contribute so
much that is interesting 10 contempt

Jackson's Cob Pipe.
The favorite solace OF Andrew Jack
sons leisure was smoking n corn-cob
pipe. He declared that no other vehicle
for the absorption Of tobacco smoke was
so sweet and delightful. 1t is said that
his wife also. during her lifetime, was
addicted to the corn-cob. AS Will be re-
membered he introduced new order OF
things at the White House, disdaining
aristocratic reflnements and doing away
with the elaborate etiquette previously
in vogue. His favorite sport was cock
fighting, and at home he owned breed
of birds which were regarded "a invinci-
BILE. Some OF them he brought TO Wash
ington to fight; but, much to his disgust
they were defeated.

Ennui of Officers.

Abiding to one or two conspicuous
recent instances, the New York World
says:
Neither neuralgia nor drink nor
insanity nor debt is necessary to make
a United States army officer feel like
committing suicide. Slow promotion
and lack OF occupation causes many
an ambitious man to occasionally
wonder If life is worth living. New
ertheless very few undertake to de-
eide practically that it is not.
Nothing is easier TO demonstrate
than that men who are worth any
thing at all must sometimes vary
either their employment or their
enjoyment. The profession Of arms
opens up the most glorious possibili-
ties in times OF war, especially in the
service of nation which is as well
calculated TO take care of itself as
the United States. But it may prove
exceedingly lonesome as tits certainly
monotonous In times OF peace in a
country like this, where the arts Of

he could surpass the largest
Egyptian production from among
his quarries on the bayfield,
shore of Chcquamegon Bay, or on one
Of the numerous Apostle islands. To
Mr.. Fitield it hardly seemed feasible,
but the earnestness OF Mr.. Prentice
and his declaration that if the State
OF Wisconsin would accept and
erect the monument he would de-
liver it to the State without cost,
for State exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, so impressed Mr. Fihcld that lie
opened communication with the
Board of Worlds Fair Managers.
This correspondence, although ap.
pearing to the commission to suggest
an impossibility, led them to make
visit TO Ashland and, in company
with Mr.. Prentice, to view the quar-.
ries. After looking over the ground,
they practically accepted Mr.. Prem.

take the stone as soon as it was broken
from its bed, and move and erect the
same on the grounds to be designated
by the Fair officials at Chicago. Ac.
cordingly work was commenced at
once with five steam channelers and
about forty men, and the work has
been pushed until the large pillar was
worked out.
The monolith is Of Lake Superior
brown stone Mr.. Prentices !. first
proposition TO furnish the monolith
was for stone just a trifle larger
than the Egyptian oOelisk, which is
105 feet inches, exclusive of the
foundation, and feet square at the
base. He first intended the monolith
to be 106 feet in length and feet
inches at the base, but upon later
consideration decided to have it 115
feet long, 10 feet at the base, and 4
feet square at the top. The apex
will be about feet long, and will be
tapered TO about a G-inch tip. The
entire monolith will rest upon foun-
dation of granite 10 feet high and -

the anxieties of government by playing
the fiddle. Neither he nor Madison

Adams was the pedestrian President

Gen. Washington was in his prime a
great sportsman. He was particularly
fond of fox hunting, keeping pack OF
hounds from imported stock and several
hunters. With these he hunted almost
every day. In fact, he lived in all re-
spects as does the typical country gem
teman in Virginia at present. The
story that Washington once threw a

President Hayes was nothing Of a

that he had no amusement whatever
He cared nothing for driving, and he
