4 = THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. Cc. M AY, atoust 1, 1892. THE EVENING STAR. “WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR has « regular and permanent circulation iu Washington three that of any ether paperia local NEWS paper and Ad- The leader of the Irish nationalists, Mr. Jus- tin McCarthy, in an interview published in the New York World, seems to settle, once for all, what the course of the new liberal government will be. It fs» now admitted by beth the exe- mies and the friends of Mr. Gladstone that it is impossible for any other measure or measures to take precedence of home rulo for Ireland. As Mr. McCarthy, who is a cool, studious, level- headed man, states in the interview, itis as cer- tain as any event in the future can be. Irieh and liberals alike are interested in the result, and the home rule measure will be the first in- troduced, and nothing will be allowed to stand fn ite way. Other contemplated reforms will be introduced and go through according to = defined procedure which allows home rulo to lead, and the reg!stry, the ono-man-one-vote or other contemplated bilis to be acted on tn the stages between the various readings. After the Passage in the Commons, the home rule bill will be rejected by the lords, and as, ac- tording to English law, it cannot be reintro- need the same session, parliament will be prorogued and » new session enlled ina short time. Passed again in the commons it will be sent once more to the lords, who, Mr. MeCar- thy thinks, will then pass it. If it should not, new peers would be created who would swamp the tory majority. But it seems more prob- able that this will not be necessary. England is governed by publfe opinion, often without a direct expression of it, on a given question. Among the features of interest in the program are the repeal of the coercion act and the es tablishment of an Irish parliament, which latter ie not likely to be achieved under three years. This is a complete statement of the new govern- ment's policy in outline, and is entitled to credit on account of Mr. McCarthy's relations to Mr. Gladstone and his own party's control of the situation. a The failure of the bill amending the license laws of the District to pass the House this ses- sion would work untold evil to the city. This bill has passed the Senate and should pass the House by unanimous consent. A strong liquor lobby has been working at the Capitol this ses sion and lately bas confined its endeavors to Prevent cousideration of this measure in the House. It is claimed that the lobby has secured enough members to prevent the bill being taken up. Mt Heard and the other members of the District committee should, however, not be de- terred by any such rumors from an energetic effort to pass the measure. Let the stigma of inaugurating a reign of free saloons in the} District rest where it belongs. Without an effort to obtain action on the question, the en- tire House of Representatives mast labor under the imputation of favoring unlimited liquor license. —— Ttis not usual for a ctrtlized people to witness ite government's partial paralrsis even foraday. Some of the far-oif Spanish-Ameri- can republics have been at times seriously em- barrassed. Old world kingdoms have had to Fesort to queer expedients. Our own govern- ment at the time when it was a loose league or “bund.” as the Germans would say—the time of the Confederation Congress—was completely bankrupt, with debts piled high and hopes hang- inglow. Never since thore days, however, until the present has the government been Uterally, in some measure, at least, at a stand- still. It was not even then, although its pay- ments were in promises not kept. “bills” not marketable. By the course of the House on the world’s fair appropriation in the sundry civil bill the Republic has been for more than thirty-six honrs without funds for carrying on the public printing and certain other important work. The employes are not permitted to work by Inw unless they labor without compensation or hope of compensa- tion for the time in which there is no appro- printion. It is unnecessary to explain here all the windings of the controversy, for these have been or are now published in the news columns of Tz Sran, and only the bald fucts here given are worth commenting on. The Senate amending the sundry civil measure by adding an appropriation of five millions for the fatr, the House finally accepts the amendment, buts motion to reconsider gives the oppo- sition the opportunity for _ filibustering, and meantime @ friend of the fair ob- fects to the extension of the joint reso- last year’s civil appro- on carried over the mat- tof Saturday, when the ap- itation. No matter ase today a perilons oceurred. The govern- ul people has been y. 80 far av a part of god it ts mereiy ia time happened td be of rest for government employes, lar injury is done. Such a thing, 'y unnecessary, should pen again, Propriation exy what the action of the wee — of the canvass to raise the money the cisizens’ execntive committee having the Grand Army encampment arrange- ments in charge has not been made known, but it is known that the work was carried on under @good many difficulties, and it is hardly likely that the full am desired has yet been received. Asuggestion is made in the Stan today that seems to be en eminently proper one and one easy of accomplishment. It ia that each gov- ernment employe should contribute @i toward the encampment fund. This evezy one can afford to do, and it could be easily arranged that the chiefs of divisions and chicfs of bureaas in the several departments should adford oppor- tunity for the contributions to be mad. The clerks and other employes in the departments ‘owe « great deal to the Union veterans who are coming here in September. Had it not been for these Grand Army men there would have been uo government service that would require the vast army of employes that is each year growing larger in this city. It seems strange that the heads of the departments have not thought of this way of raising money before and suggested it to the citizens’ committee, but the suggestion is still in time for practical utility and should be carried out without any delay. ——__ +e At the election in Alabama today state oficers and a legislature will be chosen. The chief interest centers in the contest between the two wings of the democrats, known ss tffe regulars or Jones men and the Kolbists or Kolbocrate, called after the bolting leader, Mr. Kolb. The Fepublicans will probably support the Kolb ticket in the main. 2-0-2» Washington might advertise fa thi eniarctio Rewspapers as 4 winter resort, ©" — The temperance question bids fair to necessi- tate the establishment of a police court atiach- ‘ment to Congress. a The newspapers are rery mach oceupied with ‘what Senator Hill is not going to do. a Whatever may happen to the facilities for Printing, there is no danger of the congressional Voices giving out. 206 Congress is becoming as erratic as the of Kansas. a peinieiabe! + Wetaee F The last moments of this Congress are:far| from peaceful.
