Mr.. HANNA's NEW TITLE.

a CCORDING TO THE WASHING
n ton correspondent Of the Pitts
burg Post Mr.. Hanna has &C
quired a new title since the present
session of congress opened. This new
handle TO the Ohio senator's name is
Director General OF Legislation" and
has been given him. not by the Demo
Gratis. but by the older among the Re
publican senators, who resent the tone
which Mr. Hanna has taken in talking
Of what work would be accomplished
before the end of the term.
The principal grudge that the old
timers have against Mr. Hanna, it
seems. is his positive declaration that
the ship subsidy bill would be passed.
This they look upon as a trife too
presumptuOus from a man who, though
he may be the biggest thing in the Re
publican party, is only a youngster
among senator's On account OF the
tender years of Mr.. Hanna's senatorial
life they think he should be a httie.I
more modest. Then there is another
habit Of Marks which his more vener-
able colleagues do not like. When any
one rises to speak on the subsidy bill
Mr.. Hanna Dre-empts a seat adjacent
to the orator and assumes an air of
guardianship over him.
From this, it may be taken that the |
proposed fight by some os the Repub- /
lican senators on the ship subsidy bill
Is not altogether the result Of virtuOus /
tWinges of conscience. Mixed w with
virtue there may be a little itching to /
show Mr.. Hanna that though ne may
be very strong in the White House
there are others in the senate. To kill
off his pet bill would be the best. possi-
hle way Of filling this Hercules of the
Republican party with humility when
he enters the senate chamber. This
can scarcely be called q lofty motive.
but if 1t succeeds in accomplishing the
downfall of the ship subsidy steal it
viii have temporarily filled the
vacancy caused by the absence of a
sensitive conscience.

IRISH LANOLORDlSM.

He IRISH NATIONALIST leaders
in the convention now being held
at Dublin have declared war on
the landlord system and propose TO
concentrate their efforts toward bring
ing about transfer OF the soil to those
who occupy it. In discussing this phase
OF the Irish question some Of the Eng
fish papers come out openly in favor
of the nationalist platform and suggest
that a graceful concession on the part
Of Lord Salisbury would be to take
steps to buy out the landlords.
This really seems to be the only So
luton Of the Irish question. All the
troubles of which the Irish, Complain
arise from the landlord system. A great
part Of the country is owned by non
resident prOprietOrs, who spend their
time either in England or on the con
tineut. They value their Irish estates
merely for what income they can get
out OF them. There is nothing in COM
mon between them and their tenants.
Agents are left in charge of the estates.
The agents retentGOn depends on his
ability TO make the estate pay good
revenues In consequence he pinches
and squeezes every possible cent out
Of the tenantry. Thus a people. that
under just conditions could be as pros
porous as any, is kept on the verge of /
poverty.
So long as the landlord system con /
tinues II is difficult to see how there /
VIII be any improvement in the condi- /
ton OF Ireland. Instead of being a
prosperous country and one of the bull
warks Of the empire. it must remain q
source of trouble and discomfort Eng
land is responsible for the landlord /
system and hence for the present con
dition of Ireland. It is her duty and to
her self-interest that she remedy the
evil she has fOstered. This cannot be
better done than by buying up the
rights OF the landlords and transfer
ring the proprietorship to the Irish res
idents. Something of this sort viii
have TO be done eventually and the
sooner the reform is brought about the
better for both Ireland and England
Nor is this a step that need shock the !

The Long Coat-New Trimmings.

Every smart French rousseau con-
tains at least one loose coat. 1t may
be of linen or cloth or silk, Of brOcade
or even Of panne and mousseline friils
and lace, but in any case, 1t is long
enough to reach to the knees in front,
and has ordinary sleeves from shout
der to elbow, which spread out from
the latter point and fare broadly at
the wrist, to make room for the full
undersleeve Of the present day. Most
Of the coats have collars or boleros OF
lace, the collars lying fat and sloped
out in front to allow the pretty bodice
TO show. Sometimes a little lace vest
is introduced outlined by narrow rev.
ers made of the same cloth as the
coat, or of satin or velvet. The vest
is collarless, and a stock Of black vel
vet is smart and pretty to wear with
if. The velvet should be of narrow
width at the base of the neckband,
and threaded through cameo slide.
A new notion is a combination of
braid and steel. Fancy a cloak of
black satin cloth or satin, with epau-
let's elongating into stole ends both
back and front, the whole composed
of inch-wide black braid, Joined to-
gether by q three-inch mesh of fine
steel beads. The edges are finished
with steel fringe. The deft-fingered
woman can manufacture this new
