To-day is the anniversary OF two impor-
tant battles in which the United States was
engaged. On May o. 1882. was fought the bat
tie OF WilliamsburRh. Va. A month before
this. Gen. MCCLELLAN had begun the siege OF
Yorktown. Va. and May had been fixed upon
for opening IRE. But on May Gen. ]. f.
JOHNSTON. who commanded the Confederate
forces at Yorktown. evacuated the place. tax
ing everything OF value with him. and began
his retreat toward Mehmond. two hours be-
fore the Unionists were aware OF the move
ment The Union cavalry set out In pursuit
and came uD with the Confederate rear guard.
which was under tho com mAnd OF Gen. LONG,

May 5. Gen. HooKER's division Of nine thou
sand men reached this point and began an at
tack. Although the battle Was begun with
comparatively small forces. Teenforcements
were constantly hurried up on both sides. 80
that before night nearly one hundred thousand
men were engaged The chief point Of the
Coniedsrstes WAS to check the pursuit until
their army trains were out OF danger. The
battle was fought with great spirit on both
sides. aud toward evening 1t was decided In
favor Of the Fedsrals b. = brilliant bRyonst
charge by Gen. II HlSCoCK's division. In this
affair the UnIonIsts mad ]. .SjU killed or wound

resolution, the privilege Of voting by proxy;
and the lay members have virtually re-
nounced the right Of voting on legal APP

SMITH submits that It would be feasible for
the Lords by resolution to restrict the prac-
tice Of sitting and voting TO members
having some more solid qualification than
that OF mere birth. II would be possible.
he thinks. to frame q list Of Lords who are
serving. or have served, the State as Cabinet

Government Offices. as permanent Under

commanders. or have been or are heads OF

as would compel the respect Of all the in-
teligent part OF the community. II could
then no longer be said that any one sat In

the people merely because he was his
fathers son.
Mr.. SMITH admits that q self-denying

that the sacrifice would be less than that

A New Definition Necessary.

For about forty months past the word
McKinleyism has been understood to mean
that sort OF tariff legislation which is shaped
according to the demands OF the trusts and
other protected interests. rather than ac-
cording to the revenue needed by the Gov
ernment for Its expenses.
The Democracy denounced McKinleyism
In it's platform. and the country voted that
McKinleyism must go.
1t is now evident that the true definition
OF McKinleyism Is high protection as
dictated by selfish interests. robbery Of the
many for the benefit of the few. under Re
publican auspices. 1t is not the character
OF the robbery but the politics OF the robber
that makes McKinleyism.
High protection arranged by Democrats
for the benefit OF selfish interests Is. there
fore. not McKinleyism. 1t Is Clevelandism.
Add to the Clevelandism which taxes the
many for the benefit OF the few. tho Cleve-
landism which taxes the few ;or the benefit

the book attained immediate and great
popularity. 1t was ons of the most
successful books OF the time. and the in
terest 1t excited was nearly as widespread
abroad as at home; indeed the story still
has steady and large sale.
As a consequence OF this deep and prev
alent interest In the subject. the author has
received thousands OF letters from all quar-
ters Of the globe. and now. using them as
her text. she writes for the Forum maga-
zine an article discussing the question.
"Is Faith in the Future Life Declining ?"
Her answer. however. is not conclusive. 1t
is vague and unsatisfactory. She can only
say that this experience. SO far as 1t goes.

In that impulse OF mind which we may
venture to call spiritual attentiveness. But
that impulse is not necessarily toward be-
lief. 1t may drive the spiritually minded
to doubt, with no less force. The very cir

fesslons OF a large part OF the letters come

by their inability TO prevent their growth.
Since that time the skepticism has been in
creased and extended greatly by the thso-
logical revolution produced within the
Church itself by the impulse OF theolOgians
of distinction and wide influence.
The transformation in Protestant belief.

of Christianity. Miss PHELPS calls 1t "a
slow. but perceptlble movement In the di-
rection OF the intellectual. and somewhat
away from the more emotional aspects Of
the subject" That means that It has been
away from faith. Instead OF believing with

SaIisbury's Speech.

Lord SALISBURY In his fury pays high
compliment to the Irish in America. He
calls them. In his own language. "the most
bitter. unscrupulous. and permanent enc
mics OF everything British that can be
found in America"
Should the Irish thank the British for
the splendid gifts OF coercion which they
have repeatedly received Oh. no; the
Irish-Americans are bitter and perma-
nent enemies Of everything British. sim
ply because the English are In their hearts
hitter and permanent enemies OF every
thing Irish and American. Here In this
city there stands q conspicuous monu-
ment to the memory Of one OF those ene-
mics OF the British. THOMAS Adds EN-
MET. aud close to 1t there was erected the
other day statue to the memory OF an
other enemy Of England. NATHAN HALE.
The two monuments offer wholesome food
for reflection.
But his Lordship is unfortunate when
he says that there Is no SANDER strange
TO Irish-American tongues or pens when
they refer to British things or institu-
TONS" He does not come into court
with clean hands. Has he forgotten the
famous ISLANDERS OF the London Times ?
And does he not remember that the Pail
Mall Gazette and the criminal courts
have furnished abundant material OF COM
parativelyrecent date for rIrish-Americans to
fling into his face. without resorting to SLAM
