THR IRISH LAND BILL.

The collapse of the Irish land bill in
Parliament is likely to oblige a complete
reorganization of the Ministry, although
the whole business looks like premedi-
tated thing. The bill was never satisfac-
tory to the Irish mem bers because it was
not only considered unfair, but was in
tended to be final. Rather than be shut
out from further efforts in behalf of Irish
land renters, Dillon and his colleagues
forced the withdrawal of the measure. 1t
Is limited that Cham berIain, who is the
brains OF the Ministry, is scheming TO be
Premier and that the failure of the bill is
not ct all distasteful to him. But, how
ever that may be, the Irish landlords have
certainly won temporary victory at least,
and unless the administration appeals to
the people for Endorsement and is defeated
the fruits of the victory are likely to be
long drawn out.
The fact of the matter is that since the
death of Parnell the Irish members cannot
agree among themselves upon any meas
ure IN which Ireland has direct interest.
Some of them always find an objection
which, for the most part, looks like
play for the favor of the voters
in their districts. Had the Irish con-
tingent as q whole cultivated more good
feeling for Ireland and paid less attention
to personal political preferment no doubt
home rule would have prevailed in Ire
land long ago.

CONSERVATIVE BTMBFALLIsTs.

The statements made by Francis A.
Walker before the Blmetallic League in
London and by Jay Cooke, the noted
Philadelphia fnancier. in an interview
published IN THE CALL yesterday, show
the Judgment OF earnest and conservative
blmetallists on the present situation OF
the cause in America. Both declare in
favor of Mckinley and express their oppo-
sition to the Chicago platform and ticket.
They agree that the election of Bryan, so
far from advancing the cause of blmetal-
ism, would retard it by putting this coun-
try upon the basis of silver monomeral-
lism and permanently establishing the
gold system in Europe.
The view of these distinguished men is
exactly that which has been taken by THE
CALL, and, IN fact, by conservative silver
men generally. Nothing can be gained
for any cause by intrusti ting it to the hands
of reckless and ignorant men. No farmer
would leave the blowing of his fields to a
man who did not know how to hold
pillow and was moreover, fonder of talking
than of working. Why then, should he
intrust important measures OF statecraft
to incompetent hands? Left to the man
agement of Bryan, change in our financial
system would result in disasters that
would discredit bimetallism for years.
We have seen what resulted from intrust-
ing tariff reform TO that brilliant orator.
William Wilson OF Virginia, and no sane
man will willingly repeat the experiment
DIV intrusting financial reform TO the boy
orator of the Platte.

WOMAN's SUFFRAGE.

In recent letter to THE CALL Susan B.
Anthony directed public attention to the
rapid advance of sentiment in this State
in favor of woman suffrage. To use her
words, the action of the Republican con-
yention invested the question at once
with the dignity OF a political issue and
enabled the newspapers of the State to in
dorse it with the party sanction. This has
been done with remarkable unanimity,
over 100 of them having declared editorialIy
in favor OF the pending amendment. To
THE CALL of May 8 rightfully belongs the
credit of inspiring that action on the part
of the convention"
That which Miss Anthony calls growth
of sentiment would be more aptly termed
a growing courage in the avowal of senti-
ment. The opinion of the intelligent peo-
pie OF California has long been favorable
to the extension of suffrage to women. 1t
has not avowed itself very strongly in the
past, because it has lacked political leader
ship. That need has now been furnished.
Some OF the ablest women of America are
here actively engaged in urging on the
canvass. The Republican party, flushed
with assurances of victory, has blazoned
the cause upon its banners and fights for
woman's suffrage as well as for protection.
The earnest and progressive newspapers
of the interior range themselves with THE
CALL in the contest. When the canvas be-
gins there will be orators to speak for JUS
tice to women from every platform in the
State. All, therefore, goes well, and the
prospects of success brighten on every
side.
Republicans should take special pride
and interest in this issue of the campaign.
1t is one that appeals to liberal and pro-
gressive men, and there will be fidelity to
Republican traditions in supporting and
advancing it. Let it be kept TO the front
from this time on. Let no voter overlook
it. When we vote for protection to the
American home, let US also vote for JUS
tice to those who make the home wor tn

company has become q sort of impressario.
Speaking of the operate outlook, he says:
"What do think of Mapleson's coming? Well,
wish him we'll but l tell you frankly see
nothing in store for colonel Mspleson. Inter-
fere in any way with Abbey & Grau? Never.
Impartially speaking, there seems to me no
basis here upon which Mapleson can success
fully return. He might have some following
in the provincial Cities where Abbey & Grau
do not go, but doubt if even there money
will be forthcoming. AS to the report that
Mr.. Grau may succeed Sir Augustus Harris in
London. it has foundation and am decidedly
in favor OF such an issue. BY the new terms
OF agreement Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau are
pledged to enter into no outside theatrical
venture, but Covent Garden. London, is an
exception Mr.. Grau is well suited to the
position. He knows the operate world, speaks
four or Eve languages and would work to their
best ends all the possibilities of the London
situation"

FRANCE EXCITED.

The alleged attempt of a man by the
name of Francois to kill President Faure
on the Longchamps parade-ground serves
the good purpose of further cementing
the opposition 10 the restoration to the
head of the Government of any of the ''by
the grace of God" dynasties, but beyond
that the event is of no very great inter-
national consequence. The man Francois
is crazy. no doubt, and had no intention
of harming the President. 1t appears
that his pistol was loaded with blank
cartridges. and perhaps it is true, as he
says, that he merely wanted to get the
Presidents attention when he fired at
him. Anyway, the fellow is known to the
police as lunatic who has recently been
engaged in firing petitions and the like at
the Chamber of Deputies.
The political effect of such performances
is decidedly good for France in that the
spontaneous resentment BY the people of
an attack upon the highest official of the
country goes to show how welded the
French people are to their republic.
Faure himself is far from being popu-
lar man. He has been Missed more than
once by the crowds as he passed along.
but on such occasions he was not so par
ticuiarly representing the nation as when
reviewing the army, when Francois fred
at him. This is not the first time the
French people have had an opportunity to
express their loyalty to the republic since
the fall OF the last empire, and it may be
said OF them that, if surface indications go
for anything, the principles of republican
ism are quite as deeply rooted in the
hearts of the Frenchmen as in the citizens
