THE CHICAGO: TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. REAL ESTATE. Wabash Avenue Again the Cyno- sure of Real-Estate Eves. Jmportant Sales on That Avenue— New Building Improve- ment. New Houses and Stores in Other Part: of the City. ‘ ‘principal Sales of the Week—The Build- ing Permits. Park Improvements—The Streets — Sanitary Condition of Chicago. Wabash avenue again furnishes the chicf stems of interest in realestate. Mr. B. P. Huteh- jnson has purchasod the Gregg property, on the porthwest corner of Wabash ayenue and El- -aridge court, where the Chicago Club found a ome after the fire; and Mr. Byron L. Smith has ought tho corresponding corner one block north. These purchases may be taken asa sign ‘thet tho BUILDING UP OF WABASH avenue, as in the new stores and tints wo noted jast week, is not to be céntined to a spasmodic improvement, but is certain to be an important step forward iu tue development of that thor oughfare. The Gregg property hasa frontuge of forty-four feet and a depth of 180. The price paid 4s $23,500, which includes the large brick house ‘onthe lot. Mr. Hutchinson has also bonght the Jot next but one to the Haven School on Wabash avenue, opposit Grace Church, twenty-five feet front, for $4,500, or $180 a foot. The adjoining Jot was BOUGHT A YEAR AGO py him for $1314 foot. For the lot just pur- chased there was puid, the abstract shows, $9,500 in 1809. Mr. Smith pays tor the northwest cor- per of Wabash and Hubbard, 80x125, $28,000, and 8,00 for tho adjoining 40x80 on Hubbard court. Another store and flat buflding isto be put up onthe block south of Hubbard court by Dr. Sawyer. Here the architect, Mr. F. Baumann, ‘will build for Dr. Sawyer a fine structure 40x73. On the first fioor there will be one large store, and in the two stories above four apartments, twoon each floor. There will be stairways from. the street on each side. Each apartment will CONTAIN SIX ROOMS and a bath-room, and everything about them will be done in the best style. The building will be stone-front, and will cost $20,000. ‘The new buildings tobe erected on Wabash avenue by Mr. Byron L. Smith and Dr. Judson, esdescribed in THE Trreune last Sunday, are under the able superintendance of Mr.C. P. ‘Thomas. architect, who is certain to make them credit to tho street. An offer of $375,000 was made last week for THE HALE BUILDING, at the southeast corner of State and Washing- ton. It was refused. The property is now pay= tng $4,000 net, over ali expenses for taxes, in- surance, etc., or $4 per cent net on & valuation of $100,000. "It is the best-pay piece of prop- erty of its size in the city, and cannot be bought for less than 400,000. It has a frontage of 100 feet on State and 9) fect on Washington. Architects report that building is not yet act- ive, but that owners are coming forward with their plans. and the summur promises to be falr- dy busy. The opinion is almost universal among architects that THE PRESENT 15 THE CHEAPEST polntof the year for building, and that those who muke their contracts now will secure mora favorable terms than those who wait. Messrs. Burnham & Root have under way some noteworthy houses, and park improve- ments. Among the latter is the South Park Larn, just finished. This is believed to be the mostcomplete burnin the country. Itcontainsac~ commodations for the hundred ‘and more phae- ‘tons, carts, and other vehicles used by the park and stabling for allthe horses. The arrange- ment of the interior, besides displaying fest taste, unites in the most convenient way all the facilities needed for the care of solarge a num- ‘ver of conveyances and horses. The cost was $5.0, but if built now it would costa great deal more. The cottage on the Oakwood boule- yard, a watering place for the horsc-cars, and the drinking fountain at the entrance, just off Drexel boulevard, are done, and add greatly to the beauty of the park. The contracts have just ‘been let for A KEW BRIDGE in the east park, It is to be built of iron, very strong, but with delicate outlines that will given gobweb effect, It wilt be finished in two months. ‘The span will be fifty feet. The embankments will be of solid stone, with sweeping rampse3 down to the level of the water. At the end of each ramps there {s to be an original iron vase, eight feet across the bowL The same tirm have drawn the plans for a twelve-room brick school- house for the Town of Lake, to be placed on Forty-second street east of Halsted. Among the houses they are building are a Murquette brown stone house forty-five by ninety, for Mr. W. T. Baxer, on the northeast corner of Michigan avenue and Twenty-third street, with a barn 35x &; a stone villa, 50x60, in the old Continentul Style, for Mrs. Porter, west of Lincoln kk, near Mr. George Adams’ residence; a brown stone aud red brick house, 35x70, for Mr. Charles Law- Tene, ou Indiana avenue, south of Twenty- ron street; a residence of similar material, IX GROVELAND PARK, for Mr. N.

The body of the wall will be broken ashlar ‘variezated Murquetto - brown stone, and the trimmings will be mottled Marquette “brown stone.

A strong fecling showed itself in favor of the separation of the water-works of the two towns, and an immediate expenditure by each to improve its wWater-supply, and to sccure protection not now offorded by the insufticient pressure. ‘The inlet system should be the only thing left in common, but it should ve improved bya second inlet-pipe. Engineer Cole said the expense of the change would not be less than $150,000, one-half of which would be paid by each town. If terms could be arranged for au immediate expenditure of $75,000, there would be no cause for delay. ‘The pressure in the Town of Lake wns insuf- ficient, and an increase must be had at once. In any case, the first thing needed wags to linprove the inlot system by 1 second inlet-pipe. ‘Then it would be in order to Iny . A SECOND SUPPLY-PIPE from the works to the intersection of Stony Isl- aud avenue and Sixty-seventh street. In case the two to-vns could not conveniently duplicate the entire line of joint pipe, including the Sixty- seventtrstrect main, it woul! be well to begin with the ling mentioned. ‘This would give an independent disenatie-pipe foreach town, and give the Town of Luke x much better pressure than ut present. He did not think it would be safe for cither town to releuse its claim upon the mains now jointly owned, unsil a line of at least equal capacity hud been Inid, so that the time at which an actual separation could ovcur must depend entirely upon the time required for laying the duplicate Pipes. A committee, consisting of Messrs, Ford, Webster, Pierce, and Condee, of Hyde Park, ‘and Messrs. Murphy, Biester, Muirhead, and Veeder, of the Town of Lake, was appointed to consider the advisability of dividing the property, of dissolving the ex- isting partnership between the towns, of laying additional suction and delivery pipes, and of providing additional machinery. This ‘commit- tee was directed to report at the meeting of the Board this week. Real-estate owners must take an intelligent interest in the SANITARY CONDITION OF CHICAGO if they do not wish to see the value of their property reduced some duy to the yellow-rever or cholera level. The city imperatively needs sweeping reforms in its pavements, its drainage, and, more remotely, in its water-supply. Oar dirt-soaked wooden puvements, miles of fetid gutters with no outtlow, acres of undrained but inhabited territory, and the steadily-increasing pollution of our water-supply are leaks through which, if no closed, will some day escape a great ert of the real-estate values of this city. fealth-Commissioner De Wolf gave a TuinvsE ryporeer. some striking figures on this subject. fe said: The lack of sufficient and proper sewerago 18 an evil that must be remedied, unless we wish tosee the death-rate steudily creep up. The population is constantly and rapidly increasing, and is extenaing over A TERRITORY WITHOUT SEWERAGE; and in those sections the death-rate is much larger than in those well drained and looked after. Take tho Fourteenth Ward, that is fast growing more and more crowded. ‘The sewers should be multiplied as well, yet thore are only thirty-one fect to the acre.” In tho month of May there wero 116 deaths in this ward, of which 40.37 per cept were from zymotic diseases, or those produced by contagion from poison in the atmosphere. Inthe Fourth Ward there are 327 fect of sewers ta the acre. In May the deaths from zyniotic diseases in this ward Were only 25 per cent ot the whole number. In other words, the death-rate in tho Fourteenth Ward from sickness arising from a luck of sewerage was 60 per cent greater than in the Fourth. SATURDAY'S TRANSFERS.

Since the late War twenty-six life-ineurance compunies bave started in the Stateof New York. and to-day only three of them remuin. During the War six etarted,and but one of them survives. During nineteen years preceding tho War ten started, and all remain save one, which was shamefully done to death in 1874. Of the thirteen now in the field, therefore, ninc are ante-war companies, and these huve $6 per ceut of the aggregate assets and outstanding busi- ness. ‘fwenty-nine have failed. Of the $17,- 00,000 reserve. representing tho liabilities, it is questionable ‘whether one-fourth has ‘ever reached the r'ghtful owners.

Whoever else may fume over the law'e delny and grow sick with hope deferred, he at Ichst does not. His official bond carrics no real liability, unless he steals without positive rmission from Court; so long as he obeys or- Gers from Court,and does nothing without them, he is safe. To whom the Court is responsibic, and by what bond it is beld, are questions still undetermined. Not even is his business reputa- ton involved, for he can pay only what he fluds remaining. If it is but little, that is no fuult of his; if ne manages to make much of it, he is not sure of any credit for that: if be hurries the consummation, he is said to have found a simpio case: if he is slow, it is because matters were tangied; he is not likely to get much credit or much discredit, and he nuturally becomes re- signed under the misfortunes of others. . . .

To the Editor of The Chicag> Tribune, Cricaco, June 19.—I notice in The Tripune a few lines from C.0. Lundberg proposing that ‘alarm-bells be erected on dwellings in order to secure sufety from burglars. 1 The insecurity of life from that ciass of be- ings referred to,and the encouragement they ibave to pursue their drondful vocation, induce me to make a few suggestions through the col- umus of your paper. What, pray, but murderers are those diabolical creatures who are prowling abcut here and there in all large towns, sceking for booty at any price? Many have already steoped their hands in the blood of their fellow-men, and are stil free to commit any crime if only their passion for greed can be satistied. Ali burglars now go armod, and they are will-” ing to accomplish theirends even at the sacrifice of the lives of their victims. Scarcely a week passes by wi:hout our seeing a record in the papers of some fiendish deed committed by them. Withiv' a short time two gentlemen at Lake View havebut Sust escaped the bullets of those raseully vilains, Do wenot inthe Bibie find that those who have murder in the heart are a3 guilty as if that doed had been accomplished? Now, sir, I say lot us not dally with alarm-bells or anything of the kind, but letthe man who hus niurder inhis heart bo treated as a murderer. Letus not destroy him as hewould his victim, and send his soul in a momentto the presence of tho Great Judge, but, on the contrary, give him ufew days or a few weeks for quict resection and repentance, and then hunghim. If 2 few of the guilty wretches bave the punishment they desorve it would be a warning to others, and we could retire to our beds feeling secure and com- fortable.

To the Editor of The Crtiago Tribune, CarcaGo, June 19.—It is néw about tifty years since the Democratic party of the South, follow- ing the lead of Jobn C. Calhoun, committed tho Political unpardousble sin in the enunciation of the heresy of State-rights. 1n 1861 that heresy bore fruit in the attempt to disrupt the Nation by secession; the Civil War which followed, it was hoped by the friends of the Union, would settle the question of supremacy forever. But no sooner had the work of reconstruction begun when it was discovered that tho malign heresy of Secession and State-rights had only shifted ground a little in order to sugar-coat it for the Union-loving Democrats of the North, andit now skulks In all its former virulence, but. is known best at present as “Opposition to Con- tralization,” It is, however, when divested of its Demo- cratic wrappings, the same old heresy enunci- ated by Culhoun,—the cause of Secession and the War,—and is to-duy the very marrow of tho unity of the Solid South.

The teach- ers’ tenure of office is so frail. The whim of a single individual may muke or unde the fate of any teacher.

B. Washburne a Traitor to Gen. Grant? To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cxrcaao, June 19.—The statement has fre~ quently appeared in print, and still more fre- quently been heard coming from the lips of our disappointed third-term friends, that the Hon. E. B. Washburne was a traitor to his old friend Gen. Grant. {t is with feclings of indignation that I rend the mean culumnies heaped upon 50 honorable and upright a man, and | take itupon myself to deny, so far as the knowledge of the facts will permitme, that Mr. Washburne ever encouraged, either by act or word, any of his supporters, at home or abroad. Acting now, us did all of us before and during the Convention, without authority, advice, or recognition from him, I alone can be held responsible for what 1 may say, or any pdBition I may take regarding bin. Mr. Washburne bas a political record too long to need reciting, and too pure to be at- tacked. From 181 down, all through the Civil War, and even after, when thievery and jobbery seemed to attach themselves, cither directly or by implication, to nearly every prominent po- litician of the times, he, in company with 2 few others, came through free from suspicion, with 2 reputation unimpaired, his name tho very synonym of honesty. Is-it not strange, then, that one who has weathered all these trying times, and who has in the present campaign literally sacrificed bimseif for his friend, that that friend through his loss might win,—is it not strange, I say, that this man should be accused of treachery. of playing false? And by whom: Not by his Democratic enemies, neither by bis defeated opponents, but by men in his own political housebuld. friends of his friend, brothers in the Republicun party. And why?’ [s it because he did not work ayainst Grant? “Is it because he aunounced himself not a Presidential! candidate? Is it because certain Grunt delegates were ciected to the Cook County Convention under his name? Is it because he traveled through the State with Gen. Grant and advocated bis cuuse? Is it because he left the city to undermine the movement started in bis own favor? Is it because be sent a telegram to the Springfleld Convention that he was nota candidates but was for Grant first, last, and always? Is it because, by taking so pronounced a position for Grant, he ruined bis own chances? Isit for any of these reasons that they now reyile him who shortly before was to them one of the purest of living men? No, of course not, but because certain tree, independent thinkers, over whom Mr. Washburne hud not the least control, recognizing his integrity and capabili- ties, preferred him to Gen. Grant for President, and, following out thotr preferences, worked \a'voted for nim. Nfs it dishonest to have friends? Is it a crime to have a recordso pure and a name so pro- photic of an honest administration that cham- pions of one’s cause rise up unsolicited and without encouragement throughout all the Jand? Is it playing double publicly and private- ly to discouruge these brave followers? It it is crintinal, if it is dishonorable, then the “Hou. E. 8. Washburne must plead guilty to the charges.

Some have said, why did not Mr. Washburne ask these men to vote for Gen. Grant, and why did he let them vote for himself? The answer is, Because it would bave done no good to have eked such a thing. The men who worked and voted for Mr. Washburne were not led to that act from mere friendship, nor were they men who could, by 1 word or sign. be diverted from tho great’ object they hud in view: nding the right man for the. rizht phice. Nor wore they generally officebolders or officesceking men, who dared not disobey tho dictates of their leaders for fear of losing a present position or the chance of one to be secured in the future. They were loyal, intelligent Republicans, who deemed that they had a right toan individual choice for President of these United States, and that any man who was, in their opinion, fitted for tl lace, had the right to be, or be made, # candi- late, without regurd to his opponent, let bim be what he may, rich or poor, savior, King, or ser- Yant,and this, too, without loss’ of eBaracter ther to him or bis suppo: oipere is another side to this question which the not too just third-termers tail to see, and that isin regurd to the propriety of Mr. Wasb- burne’s asking these men to vote according to his predilection; men whom he refused to 2e- knowledge as followers and whom by his course \ thority.

John Ericsson, the mathematician and inventor, hus recently perfected and patented a caloric pumping-engine of very curious and novel construction, which is claimed to furnish the final solution of a. question of the utmost Practical. difficulty in hydraulic engineering. ‘The question ot raising a column of water of given diameter to the surface is a very almple one to the hydraulic engineer; but in modern life—city life in particular—it is frequently re- quired to fill large tanks at a hight of fifty or seventy-five feet above the surface. ta manu- factories the volume of water tobe raised to such 4 bight sometimes exceeds 200 gallons per hour, and in private dwellings the volume necessary for domestic purposes is often very considerable, ‘Two motors have (exclusive of manuzl labor) been hitherto employed forthe purpose of work- ing force-pumps of greater or lesscapacity. One of these is the windmill, which, while taking advantage of a suurce of power that costs noth- ing, requires considerable ground space for the turret upon which it must be mounted, and is liable to be completety shattered by ahigh wind. Hf well constructed, such motor costs not Jess than $1,000 for the engine itself and the neces- sary appurtenances. and is not very desirable when completed. The steam-engine is not very costly, and {s sufficiently durable and efficient, but it requires the services of a competent, licensed engineer, and is hence not practical for private dwellings or persons of moderate means, to whom $50 8 month {s # consiaeration. The principle upon which the Ericsson motor is founded is that of the ulternate contraction and expansion of a given volume of alr, con- fined in B oy lider and subjected to rapid alter- nations of high and low temperature, ‘Tho heat toay be supplied by a 15-toot gas-burner, by 8 small furnace, or, for an engine capable of jight work in a luboratory, by an alcohol Inmp. Acylinder cast in a single pieco, without valve or other such complication, is mounted in an upright position upon un iron stand (or a pretty brass one, if the taste of the buyer prefers). Into the top of this cylinder is fitted a piston, working air-tight, which closes it hermotically, and thus confines a given volume of air. Itis obvious that where heat is applied to the bottom. of the cylinder, the volume of air thus impris- oned will expand and lift the piston with great force to a ht commensurate with the expansion. If, after having Ufted the piston to a’ certain hight, the coniined volume of air is suddenly cooled, it contracta to its norma) proportions, and, un- less the piston descends to compensate for the contraction, a vacuum will be created. In point of fact, the piston returns to its original posi- tion by external pressure of the atinosp! ere; and thus, while the expansion of heated air fur- nishes the power for the upward mouvement, at- mospheric pressure furnishes the power for tho downward. The two movements, when applied upon the ordinary principles of engincering, are equal to one revolution of the balance- wheels of a stationary engine, or of the driving- wheels of a locomotive. The piuy of the piston in the air-cylinder is something less than one- third of the distance from the top to the bot- tom, so that when it actually comes to rest ut its jowest point, ubout two-thirds of the interior is occupied by air, upon whieh the face of the piston rests as upon an elastic cushion. ien the expansion of the heated air hus lifted the piston, the next question is to reduce its temperature surely, fustuntancously, and effectually, without withdrawing the source ot heat from beneath. A simple but ingenious contrivance accomplishes this purpose with automatic regularity and certainty. For about one-third of the distunce from the top—the se tion through which the piston moves—the cylin- der is provided with a water-jacket, which re- talus it at normal temperature. ‘When the iston is at Its lowest, thia cooling surface {s not favte to the contact of the heated air, As the piston rises a lurger and larger uren of cooling surface is exposed: but this would not be sutti- cient in and of itself to reauce the temperature materially, with the confined air still in contact with the ‘highly-heuted bottom of the cylinder. Toobviate this difficulty, plunger not incon tact with the {internal ‘surface, butof smaller diameter than the piston, moves up and down in the air space—desceniing as the piston rises, ascending as -it falls, so that when the lat- ter bas been lifted to its highest, point, the for- mer bas descended to its lowest. is in contact with the heated base, and basdispliced the lower stratum of airfrom contact. Thus, exposed to cooling surfaces nt all points, it contricts ag suddenly as it expanded, resumes its normal volume, and the piston returns to its original position to prevent vacuum. But as the piston falls the plunger rises, the confined air is aguin exposed to the intensely-heated surface at the bottom, and expands as suddenty as it had pre- viously contracted. The handle of the plunger works within the handle of the piston, and is op- erated by means of a series of ingeniously-con- trived levers, without gearing or complex de- vices of any kind. When once the gas is lighted be- neathand the engine is in motion, noattendance whatever {3 required. [t will work on for hours, days, or weeks without the slightest attention from anybody. Light the jet beneath, and in abont two and a half minutes it begins to move, and only stops when tho gas bus been turned off for three or: four minutes. Although exerting tremendous power, the motor is ulmost perfectly noiscless,—no tugging and pvtfing, no grating of coga or concussion of surfaces. The eye sees the work done, but the ear is scarcely aware of what is going ou. When the motor is used for pumping, the pump is screwed firmly to an iron arm projecting from_ the cyliniler, forcing the water through the jacket encircling its upper section, and thence through « pipe leading tothe tank or other receptacle. An ingeaiously con- trived air-cushion obviates all concussion from the movement of the water, and renders the pump as silent in its action us ‘the motor itself. ‘The work of this little engine, not more than four feet high, table and all, and occupying a flour space of thirty-nine by twenty Inches, has been necurately measured by experiment in the houses of Mr. Delamater, ¢f the Delamater Iron Works. and of Mr. Baldwiu, the banker, who lives at Huntington, Long ‘Island. With an eight-inch air-cylinder it pumps ‘50 gallons of enter: an houragainst a head of tifty feet—that , lifts 350 gallons of water per hour toa hight of tifty feet. The consumption of gas is fifteen feet per hour. With the same consumption of gas, the gix-inch-calibre engine is capable of umping 200 gallons an hour to the same hight. ive hundred gallons an hour have been raised thirty feet. ‘The pipe used for discharge is one two-inch calibre, so that acolumn of water fifty feet high weighs about seventy-five pounds. One would naturally infer that an engine sub- stituting atmosperic pressure for expansion, or vice versa, at cach revolucion of the balance would work ‘with a slow, hesitating, irregular movement. The reverse, huwever, Is true. The stroke of the piston is extremely even and steady, when the motor is moving ‘slowly, and when in rapid action 1t is a8 decisive and power- ful ns that of a steam-engine. From thirty to forty revolutions. per minute is the rule with « consumption of fifteen cuble feet of yas per hour. The second point, aud one that hus been urged by competent engineers, is that, us the water passing through the jacket has to absorb the heat of the contined air once during every revolution of the wheel, it must necessi:rily be warmed during the passage. Experiment bas shown that this is not the case. On the contrary, the most delicate medical ther- mometer is unable to detect the rise in tem- erature in passiug through the Jacket. The jacket has four times the capacity of the pump, which makes about thirty strokes per minute. ‘The heat absorbed is consequently equal to up- plication of 2 fifteen-foot zas-burner to about one gullon of water for tho space of eight sec- onds. Of course, ordinary experience. indc- pendent of special test, would indicate that the angorption under such conditions must be too iniinitesitnal to be measured by instruments of no more than standurd delicacy, A Times reporter called upon Capt. Ericsson at his residence the other day and inquired about this wonderful motor, “The old gentleman Iuughed heartily when’ the subject was men- tioned. “Ob, that is nothing wonderful,” he ent], “I worked it out just_to fill up my spare tune. You cun look at it of course, but it isn't worth the attention of a great daily newspa- per.” But engineers think differently, and rank the new motor as more than an, invention,—a discovery. “King Lear? ox am Acting Play. uly Atlantic.

There will, it is evident, be 2 good deal of re~ sistance. both tacit and avowed, to Mr. Forster's apparently simple measure for reducing the borough franchise In Ireland to the level of that. of Great Britain. The Standard announces, we presume on authority, that the Tories will op- pose the bill; and Sir George Campbell, a sound, Liberal on most points, has given notice of sa amendment which means that the bill ought to be preceded by a very large measure of redis- tribution.

That object is not merely tomake an improvement in the suffrage. Itis auite possible, as all Tories and many Scotchmen believe, that no visible improvement, or even. alteration, will result from the reduction. They think, and would say if they spoke out their hearts, that the Irish electors of the towns, few as they are, already send upbad representatives, and that if the suffrage is extended they will send up worse,—that we shull have more Home- Rulers, and hotter Home-Xulers, and lesy_rea~ sorable Home-Rulers introduced into a House where tho; alreudy exerciso 2 dangerous, or ut. leust an juconvenient, fntinence. course, whut will be openly said is that a £4 sut- fmge in Ireland is equal to household sufruge in England; that the argu- ment from numbers ‘leads direct to uni- versal suffrage; that the suppression of petty boroughs, and not the reduction of the frin- ebise, is the reform required, with many other arguments adapted to debate, but the inner meuning of them all will be what we bave stated. We address ourselves, therefore, directly to that meaning, and will, for the moment, even accept the statement as substantially acctirate. We contend that the equulization of the fran- chises fn the two islands, whatever its result, and even if it ends in the election of men more decidedly opposed to English ideas, is demanded alike by Justice and by the highest interests of Great Britain in Ircland. We have always, since we gave up persecuting Irish Catholics, teen muking the sume stupid blunder.

The Irishmen who will gain the suffrage under Mr. Forster’s bill are probably Poorer than those who acquired it in the English proat towne, but they are just as good in their own eyes, socially rather better, und not much more llablé to be carried away by agit. tors, It was not an Irish borough that elected the Clalmant’s champion, Let us leave them, as we leave tho electors of Stoke-upon-frent, t6 work themselves clear of chimeras, which only impose upoa them because they believe those who affect to believe ia them cnn alter or ameliorate a tenure which thoy regurd, justly or unjustly, 28 a grievance, and which will, there is now no doubt, be muterinlly modified. The. Trish are not. fools, but shrewd und seif-inter- ested people, over expert, like all mees just set tree, in the great art of worry. We shall then show ourselves at all events just, and if the new class of voters will be hostile, the old class will at lenst be relieved ut one griev~ ance against which they have protested, When the time comes, Ireiund, of course, will beatected by the Redistribution bill, but the defects of the present m ure no excuse for keeping up also its injustices. Itwill be said that we exnnot dissolve in Ireland alone, and that an enlarged franchise confers no power until 2 dissolu- tion, but that is not the ease. Irish mem bers wish to keep their seats, like every- body else, and ure quite bright enough to understand and respond to any change of im- pulse which the great addition to the number of thelr electors may chance to generate. That the impulse may be bad is possible. and then it must be faced; but we confess we have ite =oas much confidence in an irish = mass-vote 25 in the vote of a minority affected and even ruled at every ste] by terror of the non-electors.. We would mue! rather sec the householders thronging to the ballot-box than thronging to frighten the elect- ors into voting straight. Ithas always appeared to us wonderful that the politicians who are so fond of advocatin “bold and decided courses” all over the worl are atill so timid and suspicions whenever thoy have to deal with Ireland. What are they afinld of? That Ireland, with an eighth of the total populations eu exclude the English and Scotch in Irvlend.—should rebel, or proclaim a republic, orupset English law, orwhut? They will an- swer that they are afraid of worse men—that is, more unmunageable men—being sent to. Parliament; but is not that in reality an argument against representation, for Irelund at all? Whut is the nse of members who on all burning questions cease to represent thelr constituents, and represent idias which, whether better or worse. ure totally different from theirs? It would be far easier to deal with real representatives with whom com- promises could be made, or whom compro- mise could be declared finally impossible, than. to den! with sham representatives who never satisfy their constituents, who are always more or 1es3 distrusted, and who therefore never close any question whatever. A Nationultst party would be infinitly teas annoying than a HoZie~ Rule party. If the Irish boroughs desire to send thirty _Parnells, let them «end thirty Parnells, and then deal with them, confident that at least we know the boroughs’ inaer mind. It is timidity, not counsel, which Tories are allowing to rule them in this matter; and timidity, and not counsel, which dictates one~ half of our distrust of Irishmen. They are just like the rest of mankind, and want, if you ask their opinions, to have their opinions heard, and not your opinions filtered through their gele~ gates. Suppose we are logical for once. and de- clare that, as we will not have Irish volunteers, we will not have frish soldiers either, and that, ag We cannot put up with the members Irigh- men want-tosend. we will not bave any Irish members at all. That would, at all events, be a consistent policy, and at lenst a3 likely to suc ceed in conciliating Ireland as the present one, which declares that an Irish householder can bo trusted In Ginsgow, but not in Dubiin, and that an Irish member shall have our full contidence, provided be does not. except by avcident, repre- sent the opinions of the Irish people. —<$———$—- CARBONATE CAMP. ‘The times bave chang’d; tis spade, not pen, with me, And mountain-climbing ‘stead of pleasant Iel- sure.
