Noe counjed, “in a dive miles! drive,” five hun- dred women without shoes or stockings walking in thecold mud, In Fermoy, “a tolerably prosperous village” for Ireland, the wamen not only had neither shoes nor stockings, but they had searcely anything to wear, Loeku saw evicted tennnts—hungry, barefooted, bare-egged, and bare-headed women, and pretly women at that—trudging: along.the cold wet road Ina drenching raln- storm. And next he sawn flying squadron of 150 soldicrs—fine looking fellows, well fed, well mounted, and well armed with Jonded carbines—tiding away from tho scena of an eviction, Redpath invited “Nnsby” {nto a typical cabin, where, In its single room, 10 feet by 12 ‘with a holo tn the wall for a window, the wet enrth fora floor, n smoky freplice in one corner, he In- troduced hint to its seven occupants, About tho fire three or four children, dressed in: seanty cotton slips, were huddied, In fnother corner there was a brood of chickens, and a pig — ropentediy poked lis snout in at the loose- hanglng door, ‘The little holding attached to the cabin had been improved by three gener. ations of family tenants from three shillins to forty shillings por nerea year, In Amer- {ea Mr. Locke thought the Innd for which the tenant pays $10 per acro rent might sell for St por ncre} In another cabin Mr. Locko saw a bed consisting of four posts driven Into the ground, some stringers covered with rough Loards, and on the boards dried leaves and henthar covered by some old potato sacks, ‘This is the manner of Siving of the Irish peo- ple, against whom Mr. Gladstone ts employ- ing the “resources of clvilization.”” When Mr. Locke entered the Emerald Isle he was prejudleed against the Irish, He says he tried to “convince Mr. Parnell that he was 0 demagog; that the Irish had no reason for agitation; that Ireland could only be proper- ly ruled by the English; ana that they ought to be thankful to the kind Providence that had given tnem a superior race to protect and care for them.” After a day with Red- path, Locke was “wet, weary, and mad.” Tho day'ssights, he says, “were too horrible for talk.” Mr. Locke will not dispute any more with Mr. Parnell. DEMOORATIO NOLIONS OF REVENUE, For Iavk of 0 bottor one, Mr. Sam Randall, of Pennsylvania, Speaker of the last Louse, aay be regarded as tho leader of tho Democrnatle party. There iscertainly no ono who exercises Individually more Influence over the counsels uf the purty than he does, The Democratle Congressmen followed him like sheep In thelr Inconsequential discussion of the funding project inst wiiter. tle will be the Demveratie candidate for Spenker next winter. Ho will pass fora statesman ensier than Gen. Hancock, who was the Democratic candidate for President. Alto- gether he fs a3 conspicuous a figure as there ig Inthe Democratic party, and nis utter- nhees have considerable siguifiennce as Indl- eating what the Democratic party would be likely to do If It secured control of the Gov- ernment. : ‘Mr.-Randall mado n speech in New York Inst week. IIs ostensible purpose was to as- sist the Demucrats to elect their local ticket, but he contined his remarks almost entirely to National topics, Some of the positions he took were astounding. Ho vindicated the Democratic plan for refunding, which re- celyed the condemnation of the country gen- erally and failed, atid in the face of the fact that all the necessary refunding has been ac- complishtd. He proposed to embarrass the ‘Treasury, hazard a new suspension of spe- cle payments, and create distrust and: per- jhaps panic by paying out $10,000,000 of spe- ele held by the Government for the redemp- tlon of greenbacks; the Greenbackurs them- selyes would not dare nt this {me to suggest anything more startilug, Dut the feature of his speech which ought to recetve speelal at- tentlon is his dectartion in favor of repealing “all laws which Impose Internal taxes” In other words, he proposes to sacrifice revenue which amounts to more than $150,000,000 for the current year, nearly all of which 1s col- lected upon the luxurious vices of Nquor and tobacco. 2 ‘This movement for the abolition of whisky and tobacco taxes seems to be galning a strong foothold In the Democratic party. It was boldly advocated by Alexander H. Stophons, of Georgia, during the Inst Presi- dential campaign, and was recelved with far vor throughout tho greater portton of the South, The reason for this ts to be sought In the large production of spirits and tobaeco in the South. Over $61,000,000 in taxes were collected in 1890 from spirits and nearly §99,- 000,000 from tobacco. But the fact is, that the taxes In both cases are paid ultimately by the consumers of theso articles, The manufacturers and dealers are merely agents in paying these taxes,-which aré reassessed. upon the individual drinkers, smokers, and chewers all over the world. Neither whisky nor tobacco would be much cheaper at retail after the repeal of the tax. ‘Ihe manufact- urers and the dealers would be the only ben- eficlaries of a Joss of more than $100,000,000 annually to the Government, Hence the movement for the repeal of the Internal rev- enue taxes, so far as the South Is concerned, is a selfish class movement, Rundali’s notive for advocating the repeal of tho fnternal rovenue laws ts equally solf- ish and sectional, Ile foresees a movemont for the reduction of taxes on accountof a surplusage of revenue, Ie represents a cer tain portion of the ultra-protected classes, He feels that any reduction of taxation war- ranted by surplus revenue will naturally fall on the excessive portions of the tarlif, which, in many respucts, is u burden uven the peo- ple, Ie wants to forestall such a movement, and ls entirely willing, If possible, to use the Democratic party to that end; and he would assist In persuading the South that it would be the gainer, though the peopte at the South as well as the North—the consumers eyerywhere—would be the losers, He knows that if all the surplus revenue, and inoré too, were stricken off by repeal of the Internal rovonue taxes, then there would be no appors tunity for any movement for the reduction of the customs taxes. This fact explaing his mnotive and thatof others who represent the same sectional huturests, But Tuk Trinune has suggested a Na- tlonnl uae of all that portion of tae Internal revenue now regarded as a surplus which ought to cummund itself te tho peoplo of the South as well ‘as of the North, to the Pennsyl- yania people as well ag the UNnols people, to Democrats and Republicans alike. Ropeal the United States Iconses on tquor-dealers, which cause most of the complaint and cost the Government for collection nearly as much ad they yleld In revenue, raise the tax on spirits from 00 cents to $1, and set aside she entire reventies from spirits and beer as’ an educational fund, to be distributed pro rata tinong the States and Territories for the miaintenanes of free public schools, This would glyo an nuinnal revenue beginning with more than $50,000,000, or about §1 per capita of the whole population, for the schools, and would relieve the real-estate owners, whother in the citles or in tho country, of. the heavy taxes now assessed ~upod them tor school pur- poses Iu States where the public-school system flourishes, and provide abundant school faciiitles in thosy States which are tao poor or too indifferent to support schools of theirown, ‘There would then be no sur- plus revenue to encouruge & movement among the protected manufacturers, the dis- tillers, and the tobacco men for abolishing the taxes on whisky and tobacco. No one could dispute the fitness of assessing bad inbits for the purpuso of edueating the masses, ‘The whisky-drinkers and tobacco- smokers woultt continue to pay the taxes: without grumbling. ‘The agitation forrepeal would conse, if Randall had tho elements of statesman: ship or leadership in ifs composition he would seizo upon this proposition and seek to secure for his party’ the advantage of urging It. But tha polley ty too broad and too Natlonal in tts character to attract the Democratic politielan, Nevertheless, tho idea will galn ground, and, onee falrly be- fore the Amertenn people, It will be hatled with go much cuthusiaam that the politicians will bo bouhd to adopt it Meanwhile tho Democratic party will exelte new distrust by encouraging the repent of the Internal rev- enue laws, whether such a movement bo sitggested for the benellt of the distitlers and tebaveo manufacturers of the South, or.be- cause, ns Randall says, “if you take off all internal taxation you must keep up the high protective tnrif.’* COMBATING FASHION, ‘There is n somewhat curious affair now agitating the public mind In England, growing out of tho Inbors‘of a patriotle society of “noble” ladies, formed to promote certain branches of trade, ‘This society is under the lead of Lady Beetive and of Lady Ilehester, Itsvoms that prior to 1874 the manufacture of “lustre” woolen goous was a most {m- portant branch of the production of the Town of Bradford, in England, but since that tine the Industry hag fallen Into decay, the pricus of that class of goods have fallen off greatly, and tho demand for woolens has eensed, both for export and for home con- sumption, The promoters of this soctety are two distinguished leadors of the aristocracy, ‘They propose to appeal to tho British people, male nn female, aud especially the female, to purchase and use woolen goods manufact- ured in the Kingdom exclustyely of British wools, Tho domestic woolens which they wish adopted in generat use are the * lustre” wools of Yorkshire, the "tweeds ’ of Scot- Iund, the * homespuns” and flannels of Wales, and the “friezes” of Ireland. ‘These ladies call thomselyes and are catied by other people “ Patronesses,” and aro 200 in number, in- eluding four persons of royal: affinities, Lady Bective and Lady lichester, not content with the patronage of the Duchess of Edin- burg, the Princess Cheistlan, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Duchess of Leck, aimed for aven higher patronage, and addressed 0 request, through herseeretary, to tho Princess of Wales that she would head the Hst. ‘The answer of Mr. Holzman, the secretary, Isnow published, and, to the-astonishment of tho “noble ” 200, she declines the usaof her name for any such purpose, The dismay of tho 200 Jadles, to say nothing of the four “royal”? metbers, 1s great, In their letter making the request, Indy Ilehester stated that when they had secured the namo of the Princess of Wales it was proposed tg publish “tho sts of the supporters [of tho society] in the London papers, and then to have the list copied into every local and county paper all over England. and all the farmers nnd manufaet- urers will see that at leust some offort has been mado by the upper classes to promote thofr cause ns much as possible. ‘The reasons given for the action of the Princess are explalned by My. Holzman to be that It was a quastion of potitical propriety whether tho {mportations of colonial wool should be reduced or prohibited by tariff dutles, and whether the manufacture of one class of woolen goods should be pro- imoted at the cost of the other. The Princess, In her position, did not feel called upon to appear as taking part In these controverted questions. The London Times, while approving of the action of the- Princess; suggests that the reasons given ‘will not be accepted to be as wise ns tho action Itself. ‘The Jadies claim that theso lustra wools hove simply gone out of fashion, and that sineo 1874 the leaders of fashion in Paris have decreed that the dull wools of French manufacture and of French growth were alone to be worn, The French market was then lost, and the loss to tho British manu- facturers followed. Womanlike they de mand that the forelgn goods be prohibited, ‘Tis fs substantially the whole story, and the result attained is the organization of 200 no- ble ladles of fashion, including four ladies of the royal household, who have undertaken to beat down fashion and force tne lustre wwools into general use and to the exclusion of the “dull, tustreless French’ woolen goods, As to the outcome of the struggle the London Times says? In these days.an attempt to divert the flow of trado by srtificlal means Ja not an easy task, It hos often bean made; it has seldom succecded, Fashion comes and woes; ew fabrics supersede old ones; and fritiah trade annula aro full of the rige and fallot special branches of manu- facture, In this instance the objects of tho association are, perhaps, somowhat more hopes ful than those of moat projects of this character, and those who orlginnted it certainty deservo Prafae for good and pi lc intentions, THE ITALIAN AND AUSTRIAN EMPERORS, King Humbert and Kalser Francis Joseph have met at Pontafel and kissed ench other. No Soclalist or Nihilist was ungracions enough to Interfere with the royal salute, and the political quidnuncs of Europe are all agog over the hidden meaning of the osculation, for kissing between royalties does not always go by favor, but hns caballstle imports not apparent on thesurface, It may be that King Humbert, who has never cut much of a iigure in the conferences of European sovereigns, and: has been some what hidden from sight In the geographical boot, desired to come more prominently be- fore the world and to elevate himself to o more Important positiou, and to make ft ap- pear at least that he {sa pleco'of some in: | portance on the political chess-bonrd, and not @ Mere pawn to be exchanged for any other pawn without Influencing tho character of the ‘game. If this wore his only object, he hns_ satisfactorily accomplished .it, for Francls Joseph has treated him like a Prince, made him com- imander of a regiment, has. wined and dined in, taken him to the opera, has given hin private concerts, while Queen Maygaret has been furnished public opportunities to dis- play her “sang-de-bouf hued volyet dress,” diamond tiaras, dlamond-sprinkled fenther- roses, and pentl neckinces. ‘I'hls fs the out- ward show; but fy there not something un- dorneath tt all? Germany, Austrla, and Jtus- sia hove renawed tho triple league. What nore natural than that Italy should be engor to ot into the alliance, nsavate shelter when she and France come {nto collision over the disporition of the North of Africa? Suchan ailianco would Isolate France, and render tt extremely hazardous for her to engage in ony war affecting the interests of any Power in the alllance, hero is no Jove lost be- tween France and Italy, and there never has been, while the old {culousies have been tiade still more bitter by recount events, ‘The vontemptuous subbing of Italy in the Tuna matter, the Insults of the French press, the ’ shooting down of the Itallana in Marselllea, haye ull Intensified the feeling of bitterness, It may be alsa that Humbert is wsor and mors for-seelng than he: has been given credit for, ‘Chero ta a time for settlements couitng, and at no distant day. One of these settlements must be that, of the Exyptian question. ltaly haw large interests there, but France and England, who have uffected the proprictorship of Kgypt lave never con- aldered the claims of Italy or counted her as 8 factor in the settlement of the problem, Now that Russia, Germany, and Austria have coneluded that the Egyptinn question 1s not slinply an Angto-Frenah, but a Enropean, gntestion, what ean be more natural than that Italy abould wish to get Into thelr alliances and havo thelr powerful influences worktue {u herdehalt? But there are many other set tlements to bu made, and [tbchoovesa prudent tonareh, especiatly If he happen to belong to the smaller Powers, to so shape his course as to have powerful friends on tho reckoning: day. Some of these settlements aro alrenity beginning to be apparent, Ausirin, already in substantial possession of Bosnla and EHer- zegovina, is bound to strate her present Acquisitions dawn to tha Archipelago, with Salontea for her outlet, and may posstbly take Servin also. Tho remnant of Turkey In Europe will be struggled over, Greece may wet a still further increase of hernew front- fer by taking In the northwostern corner of Eptrus and the Island of Candia, which she has two or three times nearly secured. Franco inay bo compensated with Belgium, while Germany way give back Lorrain, re- taluing Alsace, and take Holland to secure her ocean front, So far as England ts con- cerned, the powerful allinnee may pay no ate tentlon to her, asthe three Emperors nay take it into thelr heads thatshe hascnough alrendy, Where will Russia find her spoils?

Five years ago tho Gofman Premier, Bis- marek, was aiming not only at the mill- tary but the financial supremacy of Europe, and the stepping-stone to this was the success of Germany in the war of 1871 against France. Bismarck saw what had been foreseen by England half a century before—viz.: that the volume of trafic in the commeroiul world was inereasy ing In much greater ratlo than the stock of metallle money, oud: that. whatever nation could get coutrol of the greater portion of this would soonor or later be the financial dictator of the world. Tae war indemnity which France was compelled to pay to Gor- many was ($1,000,000,000) a thousand millions of dollars, an ‘amount equal to at least one halfof all the gold coin and gold. bullion preSumed to be in Europo, and equal to at least one-third of all the gqid coin and gold bullion presumed to exist In the whole world, Ilere was the great opportunity, Bismarck decided not only tg take advantage of It, but also to precipitate Its antlelpated results, In order to make this conquest of the world more rapid and certain Germauy demonetized silver, and under German Influence all tho Scandinavian States of Enropo wore elther persuaded or Intimldated into adopting the same policy. The object was to diminish the amount of legal-tender coin money In the world by one-half, which would have the effect of doubling the propor tion of such atock of legul-tonder coin money which France would.be obliged to pny to Germany, and so give the Intter the financial | supremacy of Europe. But the project falted! Germany is not a surplus wealth producing country like France—therefore Germarfy could not keop the money. French ‘soll, products, Industry, and finnnctal ability Were more than aimatch for German prow- ess. diow France managed to lquidate the enormous German clalin without: letting Ger- many get possession of any great portion of it in actual coln will atways remaln one of the marvels of financial history, butsuch was the result. Germany has. been obliged to recede from her exclusive gold standard, es- fabllshed Jan, 1, 1870, and acknowledge her- self defented Jn the attempt to become even an “important” financial ‘power In Europe. But tho effects of her attempt wero felt all over the world. In 1870, when Ger- mtny began to self off nbout $250,000,000 of her sllver coin circulation In order to give place to the golden stream expected from France, the yaluo of silver declined (or gold advanced) until in July, 1876, gold was at a “premium of 45 percent over Its usunt rela- tive value in,silver. ‘This Increase in the value of gold was shown ina decline in the prices of all commodities throughout the World, and produced a disorganization of the East India and Chinn trades, which was re- flected in. the numerous groat failures In Groat Britain during that and the succeeding year. itis only within tho past two years that tha United Stutes has begun to TaeD yey trom the effect of this tslsmarekinn policy. ‘The failure of Bisinarck’s financial schame of ‘1876 fs the source of the present divisions between twa groat classas of’ politicians In Germany—viz various shades of sup- portersof the Adininistration on the one alde, and the various shades of the dissatls- fied opponents of the. Government on the other, Among the latter are the Jews, upon whom the Government party has endeavored to throw some of the odium.ot the Govern. ment flasco of 1876, ‘Chis has beon carried 80 far au to attempt, first, to ostraciso the Jowa by excluding their young men from the unlyersitles, and, second, by reviving the old bopular hatred and persecution of the Middle Ages, All this ts blundering on the part of the Government, and of which the effcots cannot be yet foresgon.” In 1879, In order to make political capital with the peasantry and agricultural classes, the Government placed a tax on consumers of Imported foreign breadstuils, and largely ineveased the duty on: provislona, Pro- vious to elghtecn months .ago breadstuffs had been entirely freg, and the duty on pro- yistons had been very light. Now the duty on provistons Is at the rate of about one and ‘one-third cents por pound (19 marks per 100 kilos), AML this !s a help to tbe farmers, but 4s a tax on all the other branches of lavor, which are by far the’ largest clasé, In re- aponse to the complaints of this Intter class the duty on broadstutfa was suspended after’ a tow ntonths, aud thon again relmposed at a ligher rate, and then again reduced, until tt is doubtful just where It does stand, All tls vacitlating legislation baw byen done in tho nttempt to appoase the various factions of the people, and yot all aro dissatisiel. Under tha heavy expanses of an imporial Goyarnment the peaple are becaming poorer, And the hoputess aspect of affatrs is cnusine fn great inerease of omigration, Out ofa total of 000,431 Immigrants who came Into the United States from all parts of the world In tho year to Juno 90, 1881, there wero 210,- 4850f thom from Germany, or one-third of all that cnme from the whole of Europe, Tho struggle which Germany Inuugurated in {870 for the control of the world's stock of gold money hag now turned into a struz- gle on the wart of all Europe to pravent It coming to tho United States, This is the real secret of tho French opposition to tho Amportation of American breadstuffs ond provistons, Under the pretext of fears of triching, the Importation of Amerlean pro- visions into France (except lard) hing been practically prohibited, and the fmport of American breadstuffs discouraged by tho im- port duty of 1 frane and 20 centimes per 100 kilos, England is hetpless because she must have American food or starve, She canuot afford to adopt the tnetics of France and Gar- many, and the Intter® country Is becoming more And more unengy as the collapse of all her great expectationsof five years ago shows itaulf moro certaluly, Miss SALLY Pratr McLeay, author of “Capo Cod Folks,” a novel published last summer by A, Williams & Co, of Boston, hag raised a renal gale by her book.
