FIFTEENTH YEAR, HEAVY HAUL FOR HENNEPIY, An Advocate of That Westorn Water Way Wants a Big Appropriation.

One appro printes £1,000.00 to begin the construciion of the Hennepin cana': the cecond prohibits the employment of conyiet labor on public works or the letting of dontracts to emplovers of conviet labor, The third bill is of very great importance to all applicants for pensions. This bill mak fact of a man's enlist- ment presuy evidence th le was phy y sound when entered the army. It nsed to he customary for the penslon ofice to require an applicant to prove his disability did not exist before his enlistment, Every man before enlistnent had to pass a thorough ¢ on before the government surgeon, and be certitied to a8 of sound health and stitution. "That being fact it is pretty hard on an ¢ soldier to ask him o prove now that twer five years ago lie was a well man, EMPTY POCKETBOOKS CHIUSTAAS DAY, Postofiice department clerks are ing in no very compliments refusal of the postmaster genc Christmas paynent for then known that there is any special law govern- ing payments in the postoflice departent.

The m e fact of this s sufli clent to at once arouse suspicion as to the merits of the clalms, but Indiana, O3 and some states uorth have claims that are surcly just. They relate to forage furnished iroops and depredations committed by soldlers in both armies,” A FLOOD OF PENSION LEGISLATION, There never was so much agitation before congress In the interest of ex-Union soldicrs, their widows and orphans, as now, and the people who are interested in pensions and Dbounty will have much to attract their atten- tion during the present session, There will be In the house inside of a month hundreds of bills of a general character, touching upon these subjects, They will be intro- duced to benelit the soldiers and thoir heirs in every possible manner, An impression seems to be growing that there is a very large sur- plus in the treasury which belongs to the people, and that the soldiers have the first claln upon it. \Vith this Idea la view it is not improbable that those who are working in the interest of ex-unlon soldiers will over- step the bounds of reason, and do too wmuch in preliminaries and accowmplish very little finally, The prospects are, however, that the pension laws will ba simplitied and pensions will be increased, and the tield for admitting new pensioners broadened, so that there will be great benetits for this class of worthy men, Quite & luge number of old members and senators have expressed the bellef to your correspondent that a Mexican pension bill will be , and that this rapidly dimin- ishing class of veterans will be paid for the disabillties they ineurred betore Chapultepee, aud in thit country, It is not believed to be feasible to pension all who served in the union army in the late war at this time, and the many stateswen who have proposed biils on the subject of peunsions lave, inwost | Instances at least, avolded that brauch of the | subject, OVEIZEALOUS DEUUTANTS. el But the have betfore of are con- | 1o was. | name but noy Some pew wewbers of the lower house | THE OMAHA DAILY have created not a dulging in_speech aman to little making crve at le ocation r. and secm u ative bodres, v advice to he other day and minutes and gatde know which side Of cour Joke fully fifteen 1, and 1o one seemed to or or who kunew his 1 distinguish for which side he was speaking.

The Irish Home Rale Question Loxnos, Dee. @h—[Special T Last week it was believed that Gladstane, vielding to the adviee of 1 ol Lord 1 Lord Hartingt would deter 1e aunouncement of his otn conversion to | yme raley This week witne sudden in tactics. Gladstone cansed or ved stat uts of his views on the Irish to be published on Monday in three by threedifferent agenctes, no two precisely acrecing in the details of the | provosed. The essential point in which all agreed is the erect of an Irisn parliament at Dublin, with tull control in the nirst instance of all Irish affairs, guarantees | to be taken for the unity of the empire and authority of the crown, and supremacy of the fiperial parliament, Thursday afiernoon Gladstone telegraphed that the published statements was inacurate. He has not denied and can't deny that he has resolved on con- | ing the principle of home rule. The con- n is universal among the English of all parties that Gladstone M T0 CROWN 1118 CAREF by carry through parliament an Irish home rule scheme that will be satistactory to Parnell. It is alleged to-day that he has ac quainted the queen with his purpose, who has imparted it to Lord Salisbury, The com- munications probably took place in the reverse order. Lord Salishury was certainly informed betore a majority of Gladstone’s colleazues knew what was brewing. ‘The first effect of the disclosures must consider ably astonish Parnell’s new diseipl The tories take no pains to conceal their delight overan error which they believe will destroy Mr. Gladstone's political ascendency. They make their usual mistake of treating a grave national topic too obviously from a party point of view. Nothing has been heard {rom any conservative leader, but the conser vative press with one accord assails the scheme as A SILAMETUL PROPOSAT, to surrender the integrity of the realm. Standard declares, as if inspived, that the tory leaders will neither suceumb to the blandishments of Parnell nor enter into dis- honorable competition with Gladstone, The tory and independent press azree that Glad- stone has raised simply an issue of union or distinion, Noassurance of the safeguard, lmitations or guarantees of Gladstone’s de- vising is worth a straw. Says the Times: “An independent Drish parlisment means sooner or later gecessian. That is the line on which the battle is to be tought,” Far more striki the response of the Iiberals to Gladstono’s proposal. ‘Two liberal papers of high position and two only sup. port it—the Daily News, ch has long giv- en furtive Lelp to hoie e, and the Scote man, under the direct personal influence of Lord Roseberry and Gladstone, The wreat provineial journa s, representing all shades of liberalism, either DENOUNCE GLADSTONE'S SCHEME OPENLY or teserve their opinion, Some papers of secondary importance ery dittoto this as to anything Gladstone might suggest, The Spectator represents, as much as any single journal, the intellect and conscience of the iberal party, combined with deyoted attach - ment to Gladstone. In anelaborate and weighty article it utterly eondemns the idea of an Irish parlimment, thinks all the precau- tions worthless, and that no s e of home rule is workable consistently with unity of the empire. It prediets home rule will lead straight to separation and reconquest; en- treats Gladstone to reconsider his resolution, and warns him that the great portion of the party will refuse to follow hiw. radieals have already refused, Charles Dilke and Chamberlain ma; posed to speak for the radicals. They two leaders who last year were ready 10 EMASH THE LIBERAL MINISTRY if Tocal government for Ireland were refused, Both have spoken sinee Gladstone’s convel sion was announced, and both have declined to follow the new lead, If the radicals main- tain thisattitude it is difficult to see what see- tion of the liberal party is likely to sustain Gladstone, except the Gladstonians, numer cally perhaps large, but including fow strong men, No leader of the moderate liberals has come forward, Lord Spencer emphatieally contradicts the reort of his approval of the new departure, Lord Granville and Goshen aresilent. On the whole it must be said the veception of this extraordinary news is far more hostile than had been anticipated. It i evident the radical leaders do not wish to resume offiec uader Gladstone, even with the prospect of settling the Irish ques ion, Gladsione's programme looks to-day much more like widening than healing the existing divisions of the liberal party, Whatever line the whig leaders may ke, Gladstoue's cham- pionship 0 home rule threatens complete and perpetual aleniation of a large body o liber- als, He apperantly consolidated the tory opposition in parliament and strongthened it in the countr Thavesaid nothing of Ir's’ opinion, becanse Irish opinion may be taken for granted.
