The people Of this city cannot help feeling a
lively interest in a bill now pending in Congress
for reimbursing the city for money expended
by 1t In raising and eQuipping troops early in
the war; The Union Defence Committee under
whose direction the work was done, was COM
poscd of some of the leading citizens Of New
York thirty-five years ago. There seems to be
no question as to the justice Of the claim, which
with accrued interest now amounts to more than
~ 600, but though 1t has been brought TO
the attention Of Congress several times no def
mite action has ever been taken regarding It.
The effort now being made by the city officials
TO secure favorable report by the Committee
IN War Claims ought to be successful.
An organization Of citizens In Brooklyn has
been formed with the purpose Of erecting
memorial Of the late General John b. Wood
ward. and 1t has been agreed that the sum OF
$4,000 shall be raised for the purpose. While
the form which the memorial shall take has not
been definitely fxed 1t will be in sculpture and
the work will be committed to the competent
hands of Mr. MacMonnies No man in Brook
lyn stood higher In point of citizenship than
General Woodward, and the proposed memorial
will be fitting recognition Of his services to
the community. Undoubtedly the funds needed
to carry the plan into effect will be promptly
subscribed.
It IL not often that an opportunity Is presented
TO us for commencing Senator Grady, but we

yesterday by his discovery that an error nae

the elevated roads. The official printed RECORD
set forth that the bill had been read twice ant
ordered to third reading. Mr.. Grady declared
that this was not the fact. and an examination

and mad enjoyed the trip immensely.
the British parliament. the constituency
that first sent his brother. the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, to that body.
John Parnell Is not a radical thinker.
He grew up In this country and lived for
many years In Florida, where he en-
gagged In horticulture. He has n great
fondness for flowers and the study OF
botany. Concerning the future OF Ire
land. MI. Parnell admitted before leav-
Ing that he did not anticipate hat home
rule would be granted in this genera
ton. Ireland, he said must develop her
natural He believed that in
dustrial progress would do more to keep
alive the national spirit that any spe-
cifc political concession gained by par
liamentary legislation. The young men
Of Ireland, Mr.. Parnell said. must stay
ct home and work. They should foster
the political ambitions. but 1t was wrong
for them to waste their substance, as
had been done in the past, in political
agitation.
Politics. he said. "is an incident of
life. A man may be in politics and
maintain himself by honest industry,
but II he spends his whole time In the
pursuit of politics he is untitled for la
hor and ultimately loses his usefulness
as q member OF a given community.
That has been our chief trouble in Ire
land. l regret to say that In many in
stances the u men have been
brought up with the idea that they must
get into parliament and carry along a
few sticks of dynamite with them. The
result Is to injure the Irish cause. What
Is needed Is for the growing youth to
buckle down to work and improve their
opportunities as they shall arise. Ire
lands are almost unlimited.
We are already making great progress
In many lines of industry hitherto I'M
touched. The prosperity OF the United
States Is due solely to the thrift and en-
terprlse of the producing lass. The
farmers of the west are the natural pio-
neers today. They will make the deser.
blossom eventually into a fairyland.
The same ls possible In Ireland If the en-
crgies of the young generation are prop
erly directed"
MI. Parnell said he spoke with per-
feet %frankness and with no idea of critl-
cislng unjustly the people among whom
he had east his lot. Neither did he
speak as a paragon of industry, al
though he could point with pride to

a little enterprise could do for an old
fashioned section.

If abuses which had grow up under 1t,
there has been a demand for a new law.
The trouble has been to harmonize the
differences existing between those i'd

and those who insist hat the creditor
unable to collect his debts ought to ave
the right to go to the federal courts for
assistance. The present bill appears to

OF the Iowa delegation seven MEM
bers are recorded as voting on the bill.
Messrs. Clark, Curtis. Henderson, Per-
kins and Updegraff voted for 1t and
Messrs. Dolliver and Hepburn in the
negative. Messrs. Hager and Cousins
are unrecorded, while Messrs. Hull and
Lacey are absent or leave.
Messrs. Picker and Gamble Of South
Dakota both voted against 1t.
Tho bill as passed is based on the o
rey bankruptcy bill. which has been
urged before congress for several years.
1t provides for both voluntary and in
voluntary bankruptcy. Under Its terms
there are eight acts for which a debtor
can be forced into involuntary bank
ruptcy, as follows:
