THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1890, ————————oo By a vote of %0 for and 10 ngainst the Spanish Chamber of Deputies yesterday pagsed the bill for the abolition of slavery in Cuba. Tho Senate had already passed tho bill, and it was approved by the House with- out amendment, ‘Tho minority, among them nearly all the Deputies from Cuba, declined to vote on the bill. ————————— -InpranAronis yesterday received Messrs. Parnell and Dillon, who spoke In the evening to a rather small audictico in the Grand . Dpera-House. The erowd welcoming the irish representatives at the depot was much larger, to be sure, no admisslon feo being sharged there, Mr. Parnell will be in Chi- tengo on the 23d of next month, —_—_—_— Anausents on the side of the railronds ‘were yesterday made before the House Com- mittea on Commerce on the Reagan Lill for tho regulation of Inter-State commerce. ‘The different speakers urged different rea- gong why tho bill §s not in the Interest of the people and ought not to pass, the chief rea- gon belng that such a Jaw would be tncon- atitutional, Congress having no right to make and enforce the regulations contemplated In the bil: Apvices from Panama are to tho effect that Do Lesseps has actually begun the work of constricting tho ship-cnnal over the route decided upon by the Paris Canal Congress. He has recelyed the necessary suthority from the Republic of the United States of Colum- Dia, and with it the blessing of the Bishop of Panama, but it does not appear that he has yet recelved more than u very ininute frae- tlovof the monoy necessary to carry on the gigantic undertaking. Two future Senators, both Democrats, yesterday had their calling and election as- sured, In Loulstana the caucus nominated Handall Lee Glbson, present Representative in Congress from the First District, as the guccessor of Willlam Pitt Kellogg, whose term expires Mareh 4, 1883; and in Missis- stppl the protracted Senatorial contest was terminated by the withdrawal of Barksdale on tho forty-ninth ballot and the nomination of J. Z George as the successor of Blanche K. Bruce subsequent to March 3, 1851. AN Interesting caso of regiprocal discipline recently occurred at*Van Wert, O., 9 town somewhat given to stringent regulations In the matter of personal liberty, ‘Tho pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church is “death on dancing,” and Inst Sunday he took ocen- sion In his pulpit to publicly reprimand tho chureh organist, an estimable young lady, for her indulgence in the sinful pleasures + connected with the moving of fect to music. Her turn came two days later, when she met and publicly horsewhipped the preacher, AN appalllug mina exploston occurred yesterday in tho pit of the Falr Lady Mine ut Hanley, England, resulting In the killing of about seventy operatives, some of whom were torn In pleces, others killed by con- cussion, and others burned to death, ‘There ‘wero seventy-seven people In the pit, and It Is not belicved possible that moro than six of tho rescued will survive their terrible in- juries, ‘Iho scene of the disasters famous for sluiflar occurrences, six men having been killed thore Inst full, wile all the great ex- plostons in the Statfordshire colllerles with their heavy loss of fife lays taken place in the same sean of con!, ‘Yur question of continuing in this etty the aunual Fat-Stock Show and Dalry Fair re- wains for the present undetermined by the Suita Board of ‘Agriculture, under whose ausplees the exhibitions of 1878 and 1879 have been given. It would seem to be a matter of course that Chicago should ay the Jeading livestock market of the world establish upon a permanent basis these yearly displays of fut vattle, hogs, and sheep, and that the inoney necessury to secure such permanency, on wnount entirely out of proportion tu the Jarge benefits to be derived, should bo promptly forthcoming. ‘The FatStock Show vlight to become a fixture, 4" paeneeareranen ny ie debate on the resolution of Mr, Bayard providing for the destructlon of the legal- tender quality of the greenback begun In the Senate yesterday with a vigorous speech by Mr, Beck, of Kentucky, in opposition to the policy of taking away the debl-paying power of United States Treasury notes. alr, Beck walntalued that the proposition emanates from the banks and the mouvy-shurks of Wall street, and that Sts adoption would be 4 serlous injury to the prosperity which has but lately sect In. Ho showed wherein it was w the futerest of the money power to tuky away the legul-tender power of tho green- back, and rather plalrly utimated that Mr. Bayard had come forward ag the special chumpion of the rich as agulnst the poor In thus udvucating a mensure opposed to the welfare of the country as a whole In this branch of the subject, however, Mr. Beck was not partleularly nggressive, evidently in- tending to leave to those who are to follow him In the debate tho task of smashing Mr. Daynrd's Prostdential sate, ‘There will probably bo no tnck of red-hot shot flying around tho Senate when the discussion gets ‘well started, ng it fs wnderstood that Dan Voorhces has'somo ammutnition stored away whieh will bo fired. point-blank at tho Deta- ware Senator’s political aspirations, It is not likely the Republicans will bear s con- spicuous part In the taik, as the spirlted quartel in the Democratic communton on the currency atiestion will afford them sufiictent edification without taking sldes In the row, "Tre Confeds and Democrats aro pressing the restoration of Fitz John Porter to the army with erent persistence, Like his chief, MeUlollan, Fitz was a great favorit with the Rebels ns well as with the Copperheads duting tha War, beeause he was opposeit to abolishing Slavery or 80 conducting the War as to hurt tho “chivalry.” He wanted it conducted ns a means of negotiation with Jef Davis & Co, for what they called an “ honorable peace,” which meant n division of the Union, with a prospect of the ultimate admisslon of tho border freo States to the Confederacy, with slavery as thelr ‘ domes- tle institution.” Fitz Jolin Porter never be- Heved in striking secession and rebellion throngh its vital spot—Slnvery—to save tho Unton. Asn contemporary well remarks: “The true Inwurdness of tho movement to ree Instate Fits John Porter with back pay may bo seen Intho circumstance that it{s fuvored by Wi those thyt regolyed thatthe War to restore the Union was a ‘fallure, and who opposed every menaure to support the National army. Ts there not n significance in this? We reid also that tho late don. McClellan hus been to Was jngton to promote this bill This recalls that It took Gen, McClellan nearty a month, under dally command and ontrenty from Washington, to embark tho Itrst detachinent froin his Idio army at Hurrison’s Landlitg to nsslst the army cover: ing Washington against tho advance of, 8 whole army, and that President Lincoln had to humble hlinself to write McClellin te ask him to, write to Fitz John Porter nnd isk blm to co- operate with Gen. Popo. If Gen, MeClellan had then had bls deserts he would not now be in- triguing with tho party that tried to betray the aes no armies in behalf of # treacherous ofticer, . “An ex-parte prondadiay. in a manner totally unknown to military or efvil lew, has contrived to confusy in the public mind thelistory of Gen. Pope's operations and of Porter's conducts but in that work bis. advocates had to admit that Porter did not desire that Gen. Pope should suce eeed, Any amount of plausible pretenses thit he did all he could to help Gen. Pope 1s valucless: ngainst that confession, Not to desire that Gen, Pope shoul! snecced was to make the defeat of our army, and all tho slaughter of our troops: which was inseparable from that, a desirable thing to Porter, For that alone the cashiering was i mild penalty." By dint of importunity “‘a court of In- quiry * was ordered on Porter's caso sixteen years after tho mischief done by his treachery towards Gen, Pope, and by finesse and skill- ful and adroit use of stntements procured from sympathetic Rebel officers a case is made out after s fashion that Porter could not have succored Pope effectively if he had tried, and, therefore, !t would have been wrong to have shot him for refusal to obey orders, With this apology for fallure to por- forin his duty, tho Confeds and Cops In Con- greys are pressing n bill to its passage to give jilm $75,000 since his dishonorable discharge, from the army, with restoration to rank and full pay inthe futuro! The bill will proba- bly be passed, and, If the Presldent vetves it, then the Confeds will probably attach it to one of tho appropriation bills, as they are bound to reward the man who did not fight and would not let others fight to hurtSlavery s and rebellion. Gen, Logan, who isa momber of the Sen- ate Military Committee, ralsed the point In that Committee that Congress cannot restore Porter to the anny, “because the President alone had power to make appointments un- der the Constitution, and the most Congress could do was to authorize the President to restore Porter. Congress can pass an net yotlng him money if it chooses to, but the nction of a court-martial, when approved by competent authority, is as final ag a decision by the Supreme Court, and Congress can no more annul one than the other? How far this argument will avall rematns to bo sven. The Intest scheme Is that of Bragg, of Wisconsin, which proposes the res- toration of Fitz John Porterand gives hii the pay of a Major-General from Jan, 23, 1803, to the ist of September, 1866, and n Colonel's pay from thot date to tho presentday. It is roughly esthnated that this allowance for arrears of pay will amount to $60,000, and is in Hew of $75,009 a at first proposed. NECESSITY OF LEGAL-TENDER GREEN- B, . |ACKS, ‘The debate on the demonetization of the greenbacks was begun In Congress o1 Tues ay, by a speech from Mr, Chitteruten, of Brooklyn. ‘Chis person is an excitable ilttle vhap, with a shrieking volce, who when speaking performs remarkable physical aunties, and Indulges In the wildest and most extravagant assestions, In his manner, size, yoice, and exeltability ho reminds tho spec- tator of a flerce and yotlferous bantam en- deavoring to Impress thg other cocks of the barnyard with ils vast tmportance. Of course Mr. Chittenden demanded — the Instant demonetization of the grecnbacks. He declared “the tet well enough alone” pulley to be “fallacious and mischivvaus.” He was for “paylng off the greenback debt as rapidly ny possible. It was a war debt, and should be paid.” It will strike the average reader that, so tong as any holder of any greenback can obtain coin in exchange for it on dematm, the debt {s practically pald, so far as the creditor has any interest Init, If the creditor prefer to keep the note to ex- changing It for colu at his lelsure, that ts 0 matter of choice on his purt, and there {3 no complaint to bo madg agalnet the debtor. Moreover, tho United States awe about 1,000 millilons of Interest-bearlng bonds, about hilt of which nuonnt Is due next year, And cer- tulnly the obligation to pay It 1s as pressing as to ennecel the non-interest-benring debt which the public prefer ta retain jn the shape of currency for thelr business usea, ‘The 600 millions of bonds coming due draw about 45 tnillions of interest per annum, The green: backs only cost the use of the stock of coln held for thelr redumptlon, costing about 14 to#per cent, while the bonds draw 5 tod per cent, This vociferous representative of Wall street was, of course, very denunclatory of |. every person and section of country that did nat accept gold as the exclusive debt-paying “money of the country, but, like ull the others who so flercely denounce redeemable legal-tender paper, he falled to polut out funy possibly end to be accomplished by Its abolition gave that of making the small stock of gold the exclusive Iegul money of tho Natlun, Eyen the squad of so-called “hon- vat-money men’ fro Milwaukee, with Mitchell at thelr head, now in Washington yeutllating their abhorrence of legal-tender redcviuably greenbacks and logal-tender sll- ver, fall to wll what disadvantages result from legal-tunder redeemable greenbacks, and fail to tell how the country or the people areto be benefited by the reduction of the debt-paying currency to the mere sum of gold which nay from time to “ine happen to be In the country. ‘The objection to the Naticsal notes fa that they are legal-tender; and {;{s because they arulegul-tender that the country insists on re- tululng that currency, Gold is the commodi- ty In which balances are settled between this and European countries.. So long as we bouglit moro merchandise than we sold wo exported gold to pay the balauce, So soon THE CHICAGO TRIBU: THURSDAY, JANUARY zz, 1880 ns we began sefing moro merehdndise to foreign countries than wo boughtfrom them, then the flow of gold turned to this country, and will continue to do so until the balance is roversed, and thon the flow will be outward again, Tho balance of trado now In our favor will be largely reduced tho present year by the oxtraordinary importations of fron and steel, and any considerable Improve- mont in the crops of Western Europe will overcome the balance. What wo wish to point out Is, that this balanes of trate reats upon toomany contingencies, andisaltogether too uncertain’ 0 foundation upon which to bull an exclusive gold currency. Wo have already pointed out low England and Franco protect their gold from any adden or protracted demand, Franco has fn stock of nearly .$400,000,000 silver legnl- tonder for the payment of all debts public and private, on an equality with gold, With this protection there can nover be any scarelty of money for the payment of debts in France, because in case of a run the silver {s a5 available as the gold. In England, the Government has furnished a protection to the gold in the Bank of En- gland by making the notes of that banka legat-tender. ‘The bank holds Government. securities to the amount of 875,000,000, ngalnat whieh bank-notes are issued. ‘Tho bank ts also authorized to Issite notes to an equal sum with the gold deposited In {ts vaults. The total issue of notes averages about $20,000,000, of which tho bank lols in reserve about $50,000,000, The bank docs business exclusively in legnl-tender notes. Those who want gold present notes and ob- tain It. But all the vast commercial business of the bank Is done exclusively In tho bank logal-tender notes.. It pays depositors’ cheeks in these notes; {t recelves deposits fn notes; itdiseounts bills and makes all Its loans in notes, It{s the depository of the money of other banks, and it pays all these in notes. ‘Ihe lnrge reserve is held to mect these large current transactions, all of which are performed in legal-tender paper. ‘Tho notes of all tho other banks in England are redeemable in notes of that Bank of England. In fact, the trade and commerce of the English nation Is mainly carried on Ly legal-tender paper money, The gold in tho Bank of England ts subject to call at any moment by tho presentation of bank-bills, ‘As the amount of gold ts often less and rarely ever exceeds 50 per cent of tho notes in elreulation, the bank would be subject at any moment of alarm tosdemand for this gold. If gold were the only legal-tender In England, then the only mode of paylng debts would be to present bills at the bank and obtain the gold. In cage of a panic, or In case of any disturbance Inthe financial market, depositors would dravy out their money in bank-bills, and then obtain gold for the Intter, As thore never is enough gold to redeem all the bills, the bank would be subject to be closed at any hour. Butas a wise precaution agalust this the notes of the bank are made legal-tender in payment of alldebts, ‘The gold Is not the. exclusive debt-paylng money, and, as the paper fs as available for all purposes, except for exportation, ns the gold, the gold remains in tho bank, and the paper remains In clrewln- tion, In times of pantie the bank does not adopt tuo polley of contracting lonns, A scarcity of currency would subject the bank’to a run by depusitors; its policy Is, therefore, to con- tinue its loans and make money (legal-ten- der) ag abundant as possible, Tho bank docs not dread a run for gold in redemption ofits notes, Its point of danger fs the ex- haustion of its relssue of legal-tender notes. When that point is reached, and tho bank has no more monoy to loan or to pay depositors, then the bante reaches the grent crisly and must appeal to the Government for relict. ‘She bank does not walt for a run on it for gold tn redemption of its notes; the notes are Jegal-tender. Its crisis arrives when the authorized issue of bank-notes Is exhausted. ‘Thus, in 1847, 1857, nnd In 1860, when panies prevailed, the reserve of the bank wis so nearly exhausted that the Government had to interpose and suthorlze the bank to Issue additional legal-tender notes without having the equivalent gold, In 1860 the mere an- nouncement of tho fact that the order had been {issucd restored confidence, and the panle ended without the bank issuing the authorized additional legal-tender paper. Panes in England are not trom any Inability to get gold, but arise from tho danger of get- ung enough tegal-tender paper, which Is til- ways largely In exeess of the gold on hand, Bagehot, in his able work called “ Lombard. Street,” speaking of panies and popular alarms, snys? 1 do not imagine that it would touch the issuo department. [think that the public would be quite satistled ff they obtained bank-notes, enerally nothing ts mained by holding the notes of a bunk instead of dopysiting thom at a bank, But inthe Bank of Englund there ts a great diifercuce: thelt notes iro leyal-tender, ‘ho ever holds thom ean wiways pay bis debts, and, excopt for foreign payments, he cautd want no more, Tho rush would be for bunkenotes; those that could be obtained would be carried north, aouth, eust, und west, and, ns thore would not be enough forall the vountry, the bunking depart- mont would soon pay away all it bud.” In the article on Banking In tho new edi- tlon of the British Eneyclopio diu itis sald: “When tho churtor of tho Hank of Englund was renewed in 185, the notes of the Bank of England wuru made legal-tendor everywhere in ¥ugluud except at the bank, Of the wladom of this regulation no doubt cun be entertained, Tunk-tates are necessurlly always equivalent to bullion; and, by making thom sirbstitutes for cul at country bunks, the demund for the hattor during perlods of alarm: or runs fs maturlully dimimaticd, and the stability of tho bank and wlury wystem of the country pro- of the p portionately Increased,’ ‘The anne authorlty furthor states that— “It must, bowover, bo admitted that the yarl- ations in the ruto of disuuunt charged by tho Dunk have been inuch incre numerous and yiulent alnco 1814 thin they were before, and on three oecaslona—in 1847, 1857, and Iwiwd—it his beon Judged necessury to authorize @ suspension of tho act go Car aa to allow the Bank Direetors tho power to strengthen the bunklng dopart- ment by recourse to the reserves of the tsaue department, La euch cuse tho suspension of the act arrested and alluyed the panie prevalling up to the moment of suspension; and tn Led it was not, In fuct, found necessary to exercise the power to borrow from tho issua department whivh bad been conceded to the Directors.” It will bo sven that England arrests all panies by an increased issus of legal-tender paper money, even in excess of the partial security of deposited gold. POLYGAMY, The anxiety of President Hayes to take sdme step that will lead to the extinction of the curse of polygamy in Utah will mect with the sympathy of tho people of the United States, and the announcement that the Administration Intends to enter upon an aggreasive course will bo halted with pleas- ure, however It may bo regarded In Salt Lake, Itis not likely that the Latter-Day Saints will look with favor upon any scheme that threatens to strip thom of the dupes who minister to thelr lust and help support them In Idleness, but this will hardly affect the determination of the people of this coun- try that this staln upon the honor. and goud name of the country shall be wiped out, The Government has compromised with polyguiny and treated it with consideration ever since the days of James Buchanan, un- dor the mistaken fmpression that [f polygamy were only left atone it would dle out of It self, If was predicted that when the Paelflo Raltroad was completed, bringing ‘Utali into closo connection with the outelde world, and Introducing our soclut and com- aerclal Influences, polygamy would com- mence to wane, Dut tho rallroad has long been completed. Tt has opened the gutes of Utah to the Gentiles from all quarters, Large numbers of them have gone there and estab Hshed themsetves In bustness. Newspapers havo been started tn Utah antagonistic te polygamy. A. very decided public opinion exists thore against it, Tho Mormon women have been brought In contact with the outside world, Our customs and fashions have been Introduced; our educa- tlon und our religion have found thelr way there; but still polygamy: thrives, Again, It wns satel that when Brigham Young died tho foundations of Mormonism would disappear, and that polygamy wold be doomed. ‘Tho world was led to belleye that the successors to tho Brigham Young administration wero opposed to polygamy, and would Introduce a marital system Nko that which prevails in decent communities, and that tho authorities of the Church would conform thelr pric: tiees to the Inws of the country and to the proprieties of civilization, Brigham Young isdead and gone, but polygamy and every othor inlanity of the Mormon Church thrives as stoutly as it dla during his Hfetime. It Is now evklent that polygamy 1s too deep- ruoted in tho Mormon system over to be affected by any agency weaker than the strong penalties of the law rigorously and promptly applied. So far from dying out, ft has spread over tho whole ‘Territory, and tha Church is now preparing to extend {t north: wart into Montana, south Into Arizona, and enst and west as far ng it can, Polygamy is practiced in Utah under tho cloak of religion with two objects in view. ‘The first of these 13 to compel {ts miserable dlupes to lnbor for the men and support them {ndleness, in which respectable Mormon women aro hardly In better condition than the women of tho African tribes, ‘The sec- ond is the gratification of lust. In both re- gurds they are substantially held in slavery, nui are subject to the caprices and persecu- tlons of their masters ngs much as stave women, ‘Thelr life brutallzes and debases them, and as they come, asarule, from the low- est, niost Ignorant, and superstitious classes, thoy acceptit without complalntor resistance ngs part of thelr religion, This Ignorance eannot be pleaded in extenuation by the Mor- monmen, ‘They know that polygamy fs in ylolation not only of the faws and public opluion of the country, buf, In {mporting fresh victims for this Infamous system from Europe, they know that the Seeretury of State hag notified European Governments that tho system isin direct violation of the laws of the country, ‘They defy these laws and snap thelr flugers at the courts thus for with impunity, quoting old Judaic practices In thetr defense which are now as obsolete ag are Noah’s regulations for tho mannge- nent of the ark, Tt may be accepted ns certain that the Mor- mon Chureh will never voluntarily divorce itself from the practice of polygamy; that all tho influences of contact with the outside world will be powerless to arrest its progress; and, more than this, that if It is not promptly: stopped it will be extended Into’ other ‘Torrltorles, for if Mor- mons have .the right to — practice itin Utah they have the same right to prac- ties it In’ any other. Territory. If the laws are not to be enforced In Utah, there isno consistency in enforcing thom in Montana, Arizona, or any other State or Territory, It & Mormon can Hye witha dozen wives In Salt Lake City without interference, there Is no reason why he may not dv tho same in Chieage. There is but ono way to stop po- lygamy, and that Is to stop It at once by vig- vrously prosecuting every one who practices Ht, commencing with the highest and going down to the lowest, and, If necessary, using the whole power of the Government toassert {ts dignity and authority, It is worse than useless to dilly-<lally or,temporizo any longer with this crying stn,agalnst Christian civil- lzatlon and tits bold defiance of law. THE FEUDAL LAND-SYSTEM IN NEW YORE, Condemnation of the forcible resistance madeby Irish tenants agalnst eviction for non- paymentof rentina time of distress should be tempered by 2 proper consideration of the aggravating conditions of tho prevatling foudal Innd-system. ‘There is not much doubt that the sae exactions tn this country would produce more ylolence than has yet been shown In Ireland, In evidence of this tho nntl-rent war In New York State between the yenrs 1843 and 1847 has been reealled, It was confined to the five Counties of Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, and Rensselaer, but it tested the power of the State Govern- iment, and was only overcome in tho end by concessions almilnr to those demanded by the land-reformers in freland. In the counties nomed the Innds were owned for most part in large tracts, which had been obtained originally as grants£rom the English Crown, and were worked upon perpetual leases under rent payable in a certain proportion of the crop raised, ‘The tenants under this baronial system, after long fretting uniler the yoke, broke out Into organized rebellion, Thoy had appealed to the courts In vain, Thoy lind banded to- gether to throw thelr united strength to one political party or the other, according to a translent prospect for relief. ‘Then thoy de- termined to submit no longer, refused to pay rent, and organized armed bands to Tesist eviction and drive off the oflicers of the law. ‘The nutl-rent agitators were accustomed to disguise themselves ns Indians, and in Co- hunbla County they were led by Dr, Bough: ton, a man of position and eloquence, under the title of “Big Thunder.” A “Afutual ‘Associntion” was formed, with articles, binding the members, of which the followlug. was the preambles : Whereas, tt bas pleased the all-wlso Provi- dence to iwiken the attention of this community toullvely gensy of the great injustice of tho presunt system of lnnd-ownersbiy, by the laws bf Utls State, permitting individuals to hold Iuege tracta of Lind far whieh thoy hive never rendered any equivalent to the Shite or Nation: nud wherens, the happiness and prosperity of this and future generations depend Ina great measure upon our exerdons to blot from our atatute-book tho lust relics of feudalisns we, therefore, jn Imitation of our patriots fathors who signed tha Declaration of Indepyndency, tnd tho better to nccompllsl owe freedom, do adopt the followlng constitudon, and solemnly pledge our honor to ablde by the articles thorein contulned," Under these articles alt the members pledged themsclyes to muke no compromise for the payment of rent or the purchase’ of the Innds except upon some common basis approved by tho Society, The * In- diana” were always ready to back up any member of the Society who found It neces- airy to realst an officer, and it was not until tho entire section of tho State whery this sys- tem of leases proyailed was placed Ina vie tual state of slegé, and the wllida armed and pubon guard, that anything lke peace and ordur was restored, ‘Tho authority of Jaw was vindicated by trints and conyletions, and oper Insurrection was controlled by furca of arms; but the ogl- tation did not subside, nor was the danger of outbreak averted, until the system of perpet- wal Jeases was abandoned, Gov, Silas Wright recommended to the Logistuture the follow. ing scheme of rellet;: “1, ‘That distress for rent accrulng on all lenges executed in future aball bo abolished, 2% ‘Taxing the landlord for lily Income by meqns of rent, 3, That tho duration of the thne of all leases to bo executed should be restricted tw five or ten years.” ‘Tho first of theso propositions wus adopted soon after, and that alone seryed to bring the landlords to terns, When the baronial possessors could no long- er enforce thelr hereditary clalms by distress and eyictlon, they speedily entered into com- promises for the sale or renewable leases of the landa, and tho farmers were rescued from thetr serfdom. In tho Constitution of 1810 It was provided that no rent or service should be exacted under agricultural leases during. alonger term than twelve years, and the ten- wits gradually acquired free ownership of the lands of which they had Jong been the virtual posscasors and ownors by right. The oxactlons of tho Inndlords in New York, who claimed rent in Iind under the old Crown grants, were Inconsiderablo as compared with those made by tho absentee tandlords of Ireland, and the system was con- fined to a small portion of the State. If tha saine fondal possession hadoxtended through- out the entire State, aud the “Lords of the Manor” had, been as outrageous in thelr demands as aro tho Irish landlords, who can doubt that rebellion’ would have been general and successful ? As it was, portion of tho population of only five counties was able to secure the prompt attention of the Legislature, awaken a sense of tho injustice of the feudal system, and thus obtain relief. ‘Tho merits of the Irish and question can bo Dest understood by bringing home tho cxtor- tions and sufforings incident thereto; and, considered In this light, the wonder fs not that thera have been occasional outhrenks or n few attacks upon the agents of tho Iand- lords, but that there has not been nn open rebellion extending throughout the oppressed and plundered island. SES A FRENCH “STALWART.” Inthadenth of Jules Favre, France hns lost notonly onc of her most eloquent tawyers,but also achamplon of Republicanism, to whom—ns also to the Inte Znchariuh Chandler—the modern title of “stalwart” seems to belong ag a mutter of right. From the yenr 1890,—und when only 21 years of age,—when, Ing letter tothe National, ho boldly advocated the abolition of Royalty and tho crontion of 8 Constituante, down to the day of his denth, he was a sturdy, unwavering, conf- dent Republican, and to: him, perhaps ua much ns to any one man, fs the French Republle of to- day indebted for Its existence, Whethor argu- ing tho desperate caso of a conspirator aguinst the lifeof the Empcror atthe barof justico (Orsinl), or as a legislator, with four associates constituting tho only opposition to tha Emplre, or !n tho pages of the Journal bo for a thine cd- ited and published, no one ever saw a sign of ylelding In the democratio falth of which he was tho apostle. Ho Nyed but for a republican France, and when that Republic hud become a fact ho pussed away quietly and peucofully,— his work done, and well done, Born wt Lyons {n 1800, be studied law In Paris, and was goon famous as x bold and cloquent de- fondor of persons implicnted {n Soclalistia or revolutionary proceedings. Ils zeal neurly cost him his life in 1831, for, on coming out of tho court where he bad pleaded inbehntfofsome are rested workingmen, a inlsunderstood order led the gunrd to fire a yolley ut some tnoffensive citizens with whom bo happened to be convers- ing. He escaped uninjured, however, After tho Itovolution of 188 he became chief Secretary of the Minister of tho Interlor, in whlch posl+ tion hisJnihtenco Is sald tohuve urged Ledru- Rollin {nto the revolutionary monsuros which subsequently drove hin into exile, Later ho waselected a member of the Constituent As- sembly, and was appointed Under-Secretary for Forelgn Affulra, Asa Deputy some of his finest effurts were his speeches aginst the Nomun exe pedition, and against the censorship of tho press. Ho voted ngninst tho suppression or re- duction of the duty on salt, but at the samo season rithor inconsistently voted for the aboll- tlon of the duty on Iquors, Ilo alao carnestly gdvoeuted an abolition of tho death-penalty, Ho wus a leader of tho opposition during tho Presidency of Nipoleon, and after tho coup uteat of Deo, 2, 181, refused to take the outh of allegiance to the now Government, and for somo alx yenra wns separated from polltical life. ‘In 1858, however, he was elected to the Assembly" from Paris, and while there was tho leader of thoflye irreconellubles,—known os the cing, of whom Olivier and Picard were two other mnem- bers,—who were often tho only nidvocates of mensures, combated by the Government. Although fivarinvly beaten, thoy were never discouraged, but entered into every fresh con- test with renowed vigur. ‘Thiers and Favro woro tho tivo great Republican orntors, t Jn 1883 Fayre opposed In the strongest terms: tho Mexican expedition, prediéting Ita fullure, and in 1870 condemned tho warllke preparations which led to the declaration of war agulust Prussia on July 1, In 1807 ho hud lien slected a member of tho Froneh Academy, taking tho placo of Victor Cousin, and in his customury nddress openly professed his faith in Spiritual- fam,—in which faith, or rather bellef, ho dled, He wus the author of many political brochures, and In 18% published two volumes of a “Cons temporary Blography which was mover tn- ished. But it was for his more recent sorvices to the Nopublican ‘cause—bis coolness, bravery, and ability In tho trying days of 1871-"73—that Jules Favre will bo moat gratefully remembered by hls fellow-cltizens, Whon satisited thut tho eause of France wns lost, but before the people would acknowledge it, “hiding like a thicf in tho night,” ho went to mect tho German Chan- cellor to necomplish the most painful task that coutd be imposed on a patrlot,—ncknowlodge bis defeat and bumillation, and ask for lentont terms of peace for his belovod land, ‘Tho Republic being proclaimed, Favre be- cane Vice-President of the Provisions!

It is undoubt- edly true that the Ultramontanisin of the Irish has to some extent dendened tho sympathy which thoy, as a struggling people, ought to feel with the oppressed of other countries. The ptouress of republicanism tn Franve, of constl- tutional government in Bolgium, and Ltaly, and Hungury, and of the efforts for independence in Tulgnria, Servia, and Rourmanta, have found Ut- tlo ald or encouragement fron tho clerical Irlah, because tho latter have been completely under the sway of the Church, which has opposed tho march of Uberal tdous in all those countries, Had the Irish masses, inelted thoreto by thelr (own sensv of oppressfon mud their own longings for freedom and home-rute, taken sides with the people of other Inds in every struggle for pop= ular righta, thore 1s no doubt that the Ameriein people to-day would evinco more enthusiasm for Parncll's proposed reform than they. now fect, Still, Americans must not turn a dent var to Irigh distress because thoy haye been misled into Ultramontantam by their spiritual leaders. oes Tim “ Fusion House? in Maine yesterday reconsidered its previous determination to sub- mit new questions to tho Supreme Court. ‘Tho reconsideration fs based upon tho protenso that such appeal to the Court would ve Inthe nature of a complete submissfon, but it may bo ace cepted as an abandonment of the Insaneattempt to saize the State Government. It Is altogether probable that the Supreme Court would deeline to give any answer to.questions submitted by an frresponsiblo body of men with no organization orstatus recognized by law. Thore is nothlug for the “Fusfon Legislature" to do now but dlssalvo gradually before the force of public opinion, One by one, ft fs probable, the law- fully-vlected Fuslonista will go over to the lawful Legislature and take tholr sents, and the Rump will’ thus go to pleces. Sumo effort may be mado. in tho meantime to bring the matter before Congress slmply to prepare tho way: for disputing the Electoral vote of tho State next yenr. But, after tho disreputable proceedings of thls year, tho Demberats In Maino will bo so overwhelmingly defeated in the I'resider sul election that thora will not be a single pox upon which to hanya con- test, Nor [sit likely that the Democratle poll tlefans In Congress will dare to entertain any partisan appeal from Male. Thoy are alrondy convinced that there hus been too much of this Malné conspiracy for the good of tholr party. Ex-Judge Lumbert Tree, of this eclty, who has just returned from Washington, is reported as deprecating tho wholo affair ng wifortunato from a party polit of viow, and it fa fulr to nse aumme that he represents the general sentlinent of the Démocratio managers ‘at the Natlonal Capital. Atall ovents, that {4 the view the par- ty inanayers ought to take of tho matter in thelr own Interest. Last summer the Mifwaukeo River emlt- ted such w bad smell that tho. aubject was in everybody's mouth, as the stench was In oyvery- body's nose, and the Bonrd of Heulth employed aAcompetent number of enuincers to consider the ease nnd propose a fensiblo method to cure the nufsanee, Tho sewers now nuarly all dls- charge Into tho river, and tho river las a slow current through the city in low water, hence the intoterable odor in summer.
