The mem- bership is already 100. ‘Tre health of the Emperor William is not good, and much anxiety fs felt in German official circles in consequence. Tne Republican Convention of Utah Ter- ritory selected a Blaine delegation to the Chica- gv Cunyention yesterday. Tue Anglo-American cable of 1873 is re- ported to have broken about thirty-five miles from Valentia, Ireland. Tue courier of the Russian Minister of Domains has been arrested at St. Petersburg for complicity in the Nibilist plots. Tur time to make application for display- ing articles at tho Melbourne International Ex- hibition has been extended to May 1. ‘Tue Vice-President of a manufacturing zompany at Wheeling, W. Vi, has defaulted to the amount of $31,00), He has fled that city. CHINESE troops are said to have entered pne of the Asintic provinces of Russid. 1¢ this statement proves true, itis evident that China has determined to declare war on Russia. ‘Timer burglars who were discovered in the act of opening and robbing a safe at Detroit, Mich, were captured after a desperate encoun- ter by two plucky policemen of that city. A Nrw transatlantic line of steamers has been established. The ships of this linc will ply ‘Detweeu New York and the Mediterrancan, stop- ping at Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Merseilles. Tre result of the English elections is not regarded with favor by uny Continental Govern- ment save the Lussian. The extreme Hudical press of France, however, are very jubilant over the matter. Tne French-Canadian emigration from the Dominion into the United States continues at a rate which alarms the Canadian authorities. ‘The immigrants are said to bo coming at the rate of 1,000 per mouth. JcpGE Wriceut. who used 4 shillalah on the head of ex-Sccretary Delano some years ago, and who was recently tricd in the Washing- ton Courts, was yesterday: sentenced to thirty days’ imprisonment and a fine of $1,000. _—— ‘Tre rumor that Prince Orloff’s temporary withdrnwal from Paris had political signiticance does not seem to have been well founded. The Prince will return from St. Petersburg about the end of April. He only took a short vacation. * —<— —. Orrawa, Kas., was visited by a terrific cy- clone Friday night.

Tre Jefferson County Republican Con- yéntion, the first of the kind held in Ohio, has instructed its delegates to use their best cfforts to secure a Blaine delegation from Ohio to the Chicago Convention. John Sherman will not be pleased at this news. ‘Tur strike at Cohoes is not entirely over yet. Some French-Canadians employed in the Harmony Mills in place of the strikers have been brutally maltreated. The police force be- ing inadequate to preserve the peace, several special constables have been sworn in. —_—— ‘az Liberals continue to gain in the eae elections, and it looks now as if they would havea clear majority over the Tories withou' the aid of the Home-Rulers.

The most noted of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1 880—TWENTY PAGES. the successful candidates yesterday were Ashton 'W. Dilke, brother of Sir Charles Dilke, and pro- prictor of the London Dispatch, and Mr. Joseph Cowen, member for Newcastle in the late Par- Mament. Tux New England Methodist Conference rofused yesterday totiamit women to deacon- ships, but the members exprocsed themselves 18 favoring theiradmission to thé pulpit as lay preachers, believing that their influenco over, members of their own sex would be salutary... -- ee ‘THe laborers employed in the Kinzie street freight-house of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Roud have struck for an increase of wages. They ure now paid 31.25 per day and demand $1.50. ‘The demands have not boen accodéd to 60 far, and tho railroad officials say they will not be. —— ‘Tne New York retail grocers have agreed to petition Congress to pnss a Isxw preventing the sale or thanufacture of oleomargurine. The vile compound is generally sold as butter, and the existing laws ought to be sufficient to.bring the venders to account for engaging in such a nefarious traffic. - “A BAND of horse-thieves have made it very uncomfortable for the residents of a town- ship in Chestor County, Pennsylvania. In uddi- tion to stealing horses, the marauders take great delight in burning the farmers’ barns, poisoning their cattle, and generally doing as much mischief as possible. ‘Tue Parnellite candidates, Redmond and O'Brien, have been elected ‘in the Wexford boroughs, which goes to show that the people of these towns do not indorse the action of the reverend mobsmen Inst Sunday. The election of the Parnellite candidate Finigan for Ennfs, in opposition to the wishes of the Catholic clergy, is-additional proof of the waning intlu- ence of the political priests in Ireland. 7 a ‘THREE theatrical managers, hailing from New York, Detroit, and Indianapolis respective- ly, have entered into a combination for the pur- pose of controlling the thoutrical business of the principal Western and Southern cities. It is said they have engaged. the theatres in forty townsfor the entire season, and completed ne- gotiations with the principal star combinations. Chicago does not seem to be one of the towns controlled by the alliance. ——— Mn. GroEsBeck, In answer to the invita- tion of a conference of New, York Democrats, says that ho will willingly aceppt a nomination at the hands of the party to frhich he belongs, but he will not engage in # Sanvass to secure such. The visit of ex-Senator Fenton to Mr. Groesbeck is regarded 23 signiticunt, and is in- terpreted as meaning that the anti-Grant Re- publicans would support him in case the ex- President should be nominated. eres Tue Spanish Minister at Washington has communicated to Secretary Evarts his sus- picions that a fillbustering expedition against Cuba is being or has been fitted out at Lewes, Del. ‘The Cuban patriots in New York and else~ where have been exceedingly active of Inte, and the disappeatance of Garcia, the principal iead- er, has probably aroused the suspicion of the Spanish Ambassador. The story of the expedi- tion, however, is not generally credited. * ‘Tne general feeling in England is, that, as Mr. Gladstone has been the most aggressive and active opponent of the Tories, and formulator of the Liberal policy, he will have a prominent if not a leading place in the new Cabinet. Although the Marquis of Hartington is tao nominal leader of the Liberals, Mr. Gladstone is the man whom the English masses look to 28 tho real one, and it is doubtful if they will be satis- fied with anything less than the appointment of tho great statesman to the Premiership. Tue Irish Home-Rulers are quite jubilant over the defeat of the present Chief Sccretary of Ireland, Mr. Jamies Lowther. That yentle- man, by his flippaney, ignorance of the affuirs of the country which he was supposed to govern, and gencral offensiveness, rendered him self speciully objectionable to the Home-Rulers, who frequently visited him with severe verbal eastigation. Mr. Lowther will probably soon return to Parliament, ag the Tories cannot afford to lose his services in the ejacuiatory line. a Tue Springer-Manning controversy has assumed a tore serious form thanmere bandy- ing of epithets and charges and countercharges of falschood. Congressman Manning now openly charges Springer with having been in- fluenced by substantial considerations fn voting against the seating of Donnelly. Au anony- mous letter offering to make a present of $5,000 to Mrs. Springer is adduced in proof of Manning’s charge against Springer. The sub- sequent action of the Illinois Congressman in endeavoring to suppress the letter after his wife had shown it to Donnelly, Julian, his attorney, and certain members of the Com- mittce, with the complete change of tactics on the part of Springer, are, according to Mr. Manning, sufficient grounds on which to vase hia charges against that gentleman. As it is, tho fight is a pretty family quarrel, and if the parties to it only tell the truth about euch other there is not much chance of the public being editled. AN announcement is made ii Tire Trin- | UNE of this morning of » mectingto be held uext Thursday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in the Methodist Church Building, corner of Clark and Washington streets, to which are invited all persons who are interested in estadlisting a Home for -Incurables:in this city. This is a project to which THe Trrmpne hus frequently directed the attention of the churitubly-inclined as one of the most commendabie that could bo undertaken. A recent and very sad case has brought the matter to the personal notice of some Chiengo ladies, who now propose to take itin band and push the good work to complc- tion. They should tind active sympathy and ald on all sides. The mecting next Thursday ought to be attended by every one who bas sxiyert tho subject any thought. It necds the encourage- ment that is to be found in numbers. The smnallest beginning, however, will ripen intoa grand charity under the eurnest devotion of a few women. Thetmecessary funds will be forth- coming whenever the proper plan shall have been agreed upon. Itistube hoped that the physicians will give this movement their coun- tenance and the benefit of their counsel, for no other ¢luss in the community understands so well that there is now absolutely no provision in this community for taking invalids who are in indigent ¢: TUESDAY'S CITY. ELECTION. * It isto be regretted, perhaps, that our read-"| ers have to be reininded of the fact that there is to be an election on Tuesday next formem- bers of the City Council and for town of- ficers. The town officers are those who mait- age the whole machinery of valuation and as- sessmient for purposes of taxation,—city. State, and county,—and who collect the taxes forall these purposes. The Aldermen are those who appropriate and expend the rev- enue collected from city taxation. The du- ties of both sets of officers are mainly non- political and- purely of o business char- acter, and therefore the city ought to have in these offices competent, reputable busi- ness-mmen. The office of Assessor is of the most im- portant character, and this year the duties of the officer will be more important than they have ever been before.’ Tho assessment or valuation of property in 1880 is to be for four yéars..The valuation placed on the taxable property by the Assessor in 1890 is to continué until changed by a new valua- tion to be made in 18S4,—the assessments dur- ing the intervening years to be confined to improvements, additions, and corrections. The assessment, therefore, for this year is of more than ordinary consequence. Inequali- ties and injustice in this year’s assessment will be perpetuated during four years, while honest and just assessments made this year will remain undisturbed during the same time; 4 os Persons owning property have. a direct persorial interest in having competent and intelligent men in these township offices. There are two listsof candidates in each town, and no one can ,fail to reach a wise conclusion as to whieh’ ought to’be elected, if he will examine the lists. In the North Town the Democrats required their candi- dates for: Collector and Assessor to pledge: themselves to employ no subordinates except “Democrats,” thereby excluding the appoint- ment of intelligent arid experienced men who may not belong to that party, On the South is the sane who served so acceptably last year. On the West Side the Deniocrats have discarded the acceptable Assessor of 1879, and selected a person wholly untit for the office, yo. : Sa ee The publie have had occaston within/the ction of the "ee public | i money, to increase the city expenditures beyond all reasonable linkt-andsto_ appro- priate and squander even the savingé.of-the last few years of economy. These men were uncontrollable; they were deat to reason and to every sentiment of public interpst; they were intent upon an increase of offices, an increase of salaries, and an expenditure sum of money on hand, that could be raised by taxation, and that could be borrowed by the issue of scrip. : A large number of this spendthrift and irresponsible class will be found in the list of candidates. In the First Ward Frank Warren seeks the ‘place now held by Dr. Wickersham, The gieatest embarrassment that a political party can labor under is the | be responsibility and disgrace of electing a man to office who ought not to be elected, and who is 2 perpetual reproach. Dr. Wicker- sham isa Democrat,—an intense one,—but he is an honest, intelligent, and competent man, and we believe that in the end the Repub- licans of the First Ward and of the city have more to gain and Iess to lose by his election than they have by the election of Warren. It is to be hoped the Democrats of the Second Ward, for like reasons, will unite with the Republicans and elect Mr. Billings over Pat Sanders. Inthe Third and Fourth Wards thé candi- dates who will be elected are certain to be reputable men. In the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Wards there is a numerous body of candi- dates, and the best thing Republicans and all other voters can do is to vote for the best Democrats they can find. This is: especially true of the Eighth Ward, where there should be a general union on Afr. Amberg to defeat the pestiferous Lawler. Mr. Smyth will be elected, as he ought to be, in the Ninth Ward. In the Tenth Ward there should be such a union of all voters as will elect Mr. J. H. Craver. c Mr. Bond will, of course, be elected in the Eleventh Ward. In the Twelfth Ward Col. Hulbert, of the Sherman House, was nominated by the Re- publican caucus without opposition. Ie fs in every respect worthy of the support of the Republicans of the ward for that or any other office. Not a word of objection has been or can be uttered against his election, and on party grounds, if not personal, his friends ean claim that he is entitled to the support of the Republicans. Mr. Williams, who is an independent candidate, is also‘a Republican, and is highly commended by his friends. Mr. Brady should be, and will undoubtedly be, elected in the Thirteenth Ward. In the Fourteenth Ward the contest is nar- rowed down to a choice between Stauber, the Communist, and J. J. McGrath, and it is to be hoped that the people of that ward, acting in sympathy with those of the Fif- teenth and Sixteenth Wards, will unite to relieve the Council of the reproach of Com- munis. *. : 4 That-Mr. Young, in the Fifteenth, aid Mr. Inhoff, in the Sixteenth Ward, willbe elected over their Communist’ opponents fs heartily wished for by the whole city. The Seventeenth Ward has to choose be- tween Mr. ‘Tierney, Democrat, and Mr. Murphy, Republican, and the latter is un- made tiem prowiment In the canvass.

The railroads that come near the centre of the city or cross busy thorough- fares should have their tracks elevated above the streets or sunken below them. Inven- tion will in time afford considerable relief from the noise and smoke. The companies should be held to strict accountability by the City Government, and should not be permitted in any case to infringe upon. private rights. But, when all.this is con- ceded, ‘Justice in opposing new railroad facili- ties nor in’idemanding the sacrifice of commercial interests a particular ‘ church disruption or‘to protect a particular neigh- thera is neither reason nor . in order to save congregation from congratulation in this country. ‘That con- | torhood from the inconvenience of a removal gratulation «would be still heartier were there a prospect that Mr. Gladstone, who has been-the ruling spirit of the struggle, would be at the head of the Government, instead of Lord Hartington, a very moderate and con- servative Liberal, of whom the Spectator says: “If he: would only ‘take a little more interest in his politicaly dutic3, and not be away hunting when the country and his party expect to hear from him a few weighty and significant words, he might still become one of the most considerable Parliamentary figures of this century,—a Palinerston of weightier judg- ment, and less erypto-Conservative feelings. He will never ‘throw his whole energy into politics,—perhaps, indeed, he is one of those men whose stock of latent, potential, or lazy energy, energy unembodied and very re- luctant to embody itself in anything, will always be great.” What is wanted is a man of action and positive views like Mr. Glad- stone, Lazy men are not made of the stuff tosnother part of the city.

The contest in the ij been adroitly complicated with the boale- vard question. Mr. Burley, the Republican candidate, lives on Dearborn avenue, and has been charged with favoring that street for the boulevard. Mr. Burley, however, dis- claims any connection between his candidacy and the boulevard. The present Council will provably decide that question; but, even if it do not, he declares that he will not, as a member of the Council, voteeither way. Being an interested person, he will not vote on the question. As the only objection urged against Mr. Burley has been in connection with the boulevard, his disclaimers ought to be satis- factory and his election certain. Voters cannot afford to neglect this elec- tion. One year of city government controlled by a bummer majority in the City Coun- cil would cost directly and indirectly many inillions of dollars in the way of extra taxes. All the results of four years of wise economy would be swept away, and the system of bummer government, once restored, will cost years of effort to overthrow it. is better than cure, and prevention can only be had by voting on election-lay. reererrcemereecmmneercas THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS. There can now remain no doubt that the Parliamentary elections in the United King- dom last week have resulted in a Liberal success, and that the Liberals will not only have a majority, but, as now seems proba- ble, a good working majority. In so large a Jfouse—nunbering 652 members—a small ma- jority would not insure any party a long lease of power, since it might be overthrown ns of circumstances hteenth Ward has by various combin: which would be diflicult to resist, inirable feature of the English political sys- teni by which the party in power can at any, time ascertain the wishes and temper of the people this time has notified Lord Beacons- field that they are not in accordance with his policy; that, they do not approve his meas- ures; and that they are determined to have reform; not atone in thé matter of the in- justice practiced by the landed aristocracy upon the tenantry of Ireland and Scotland, but in various other ditections. So he re- tires, and a new party, headed by a new. leader, comes into power and dictates the policy of the Government. The platform of the Liberal party, as laid down in the speeches of Mr. Gladstone and Lord Hartington, indicates very clearly what the people do not approve in Lord Beacons- field’s policy, and the measures upon which they have”passed condemnation. The elec- tion shows, first, that they were not scared by the foolish outery of the Tories that a Lib- eral success would be the signal for a general European war, because Mr. Gladstone isa sympathizer with Panslavigyn and its hostil- ity to Austria, and a Liberal Cabinet would |. hurry Russia into a war-which would -in- vyolve all the Continental Powers. .It shows also that they were not deluded with tha in- Sincere claim that, as thé Liberals would be dependent upon the Home-Rulers for suc- cess, therefore the contro! of the party wopht’ be given over into the hands of such men as Parnell and O'Donnell. electfon shows that it was won upon the mer- its of reform,.and:not exclusively with the help of the Home-Rulers, which disposes of one outcry, while the other is just as satis- factorily silenced by the fact that Mr. Glad- stone, who may be classed as a Radical, will not be at the head of the Cabinet, but, Lord Hartington, who is a conservative Liberal.
