FIFTE ENTH YEAIL THEIR VOICE IS FOR PEACE. @lr istone's Government Barely Defeats an Anti-War Resolution, THE CABINET A GREAT PUZZLE. The Danger of Disastrous Not on Mome Land Purc Th Rupture Rule But on the hase Scheme— Day of Days. [&pecial Partiamentory Letter to the Dee. Losvox, March 20.—'T'hat there is a grow- ing disposition for peace was demonstrated when last night in the house.of commons it put the government to the pin of their collar to defeat the resolution of a private member which deciared 't in the opinion of this house it is not just or expedient to embark in war, contract engagements involving grave responsibilities for the nation and add terri- tories to the empire without the knowledge and consent of parliament.” Naturally the conservatives voted ninst this resolution, for, independent of their usual militant pro- pensities, they were bound to oppose it for its veiled censure of their late proceedings in Burmah. Yet, with ir support even, the governuient sicceeded in defeating the reso- Tution by four votes only, and that after two heats for it. First the question was put that the resolution of going into committee of supply stand intact, and this was defeated by 115 votes to 100, But when the second division was immediately taken on the resolution itself it was then defeated by 112 to 108 It cannot be denied that the govern- ment really gave but a qualified opposition to the motion, for it is virtually but an embodiment of the views promulgated from time (o time by old Gladstone himself, It is not, perhaps, the intrinsie value of this resolution which would cause men to rejoice at its belng carried, but the indication given by the stiong vote in its favor of a growing disposition to peace among the democracy of England. On this motion THE IRISH VOTE was east solid with the sensible side as usual. A few days ago—on St Patrick’s day it was—there was a most important division on a motion about the church of Scotland, It is not easy to make plain the meaning of it. A Mr. Barelay, a lawyer, introduced a bill whieh appeared modest enough, seeking nothing more, apparently, than that the con stitution of the churel of Scotland should be declared. Really, the effort was a move on the part of the laity of three elurches in Seot- land—the Established, the Free Chureh and the United Presbyterians—to boil them into oneand get that seeured against the tast- growing move for disestablishment. The Dissenters, the Catholics, and even a great lot of the people of these respective ehurches, opposed this move, The majority against the billin a full house was only twenty-five, and here again the Ivish vote had its effeet, for all our members op- posed the proposcd measure, Perhiaps these watters are somewhat dry chewing for your readers, ‘They would likely prefer hearing HOW THE STRAWS ARE BLOWING on the Liish question itself, Gludstone's cabinet is 1 great puzzle to the pressmen. Sometimes it is positively asserted that im- portant secessions are imminent and *will be announced formally in a day or twe - pearances in the house of commons would seem to fayor the forebodings, for one of the ssing when he might be in his seat, and Is perhaps discovered in very fishy friendliness afterwards with a prominent conservative by some enterprising Stanle the lobby, who to leave him to his fate, because he will not be drawn either to the told or to the coveted communicative- ness, But in o few minutes afterwards this prodigal come: to his TO0S on the treasury bench and even sits in be- tween Harcourt and Gladstone, as if to em- phasize his imperishable fealty to the cabi- net. The suspected ministers joke with one another and with their cabinet, and even with the pressmen, as well as with private ministers, about the rumors printed concern- ing thew, and just when the diseerning world of type is ready to pronounce this a forced hilarity to halo the approaching disso lution of the ministry up springs Gladstone, hieroglyphicked with smiles and crow’s te togive the lie flat to all the rumors of sion and to tell count that everything said about the intentions of the cabinet or itstindividualiembers must be “received with a wholesome skepticism.” ‘The great danger of rupture in - the Gladstone cabinet is not, strange to say, from the home rule question, but on THE VALUE OF IRISI LANDLORDS, about whieh very various opinions are en- tertained, Some of the wost radical of t Eoglish members, who do not in their hearts believe that a farthing of British tax should be pledged—much less paid—for the pureha out of the Ivish landlords, are neverthe satisfied that one hundred and sixty millions would be well thrown away even if it could elear the ground for the granting of home rule to lreland, They \\unhl gladly say let home rule be granted to Ireland and let the Ivish parliament fix the purchase price of th Irish landiords, But the bulk of the English members are under the impression it would be impossible for even a fair minded Irish parliament to do the landlords justice in this nuitter, as the tenantry of Ircland, having then an overwhelming voice, would barely consent o praitie purchase value. Of the opinions entertained by English radicals as to how lrish landlords have in the past earned any present consideration, 1 might quote a sample: “And how do you prc to deal with the landlords: what is your con- shderation for them™” asked a mild liveral of strong radical the other day, “L consider they ought to be very thankiul if they are not declared game,” was the reply, HNowever, it s certxin the pres- ent ministry will stand or fall by their progiamme, and will seek to deal with the land question contemporancously with the howe rule question, TIE DAY OF DAYS in the present parliament will be wh stono makes his statewent of proposed legis- Iation for DIieland.

Indeed there are many men in the present parliament whose individual work would be a fair aver- age for three, But Gladstone’s work would make a decent aver for both of them, Phose invoked scutiments of his speech, which are the plague fof tories, are typical of the maw's life.

The unkindest eut of all towards the Omaha editor was Morton's action in securing the revocation of the nom- ination of Miller’s appointee as postmaster at Kearney, and the appomtment of Watson, lis own particular friend, in his place. DETERMINED TO DEFEAT IT The opponents of the O I arbitration labor bill have determined to defeat it, if possible, to-morrow, and a plan has been agreed upon to offer a resolution for the ap- pointment of a committee of five menbers to stigate the existing labor disturbances with a view to reporting what legislation, if any, is ne ry for the restoration of order in this and other cases. There is se ly man in the house outside of the labor committee who believes the bill now reported meets the emergencey, but they will nearly all vote for it rather than go on record against it. With the substitute proposed, however, itisbelieved a way out of the dificulty will be afforded, and those who are getting up the commission scheme count unon its adontion.

The result shows 139 members in favor of taking up the bill for consideration, 80 are known to oppose it under all cumstances, and 25 members are in doubt, he position of the others or how they will vote has not yet been ascertained, New England is practieally golid for the bill, O the thirty-four votes in New York only are doubtful—Messrs. Payne and Dowd- y 1 the others are for it. The west is about equally aivided, while a deeided majority of the southern members are firmly op posed to the measure, The hostility of the south is largely due to the faet that the federal courts will have control of all bankraptey matters, Southern Los- tility to federal courts is explained because these courts are the only barrier which « to the complete domination of the southern democrats over the negroes and white repub- licans, and which have to some extent oper- ated to prevent theiv complete political de- stroction.

Being paid a fixed compensation, if they were to continue in session for another month or two they would reccive nothing ex- tra for the serviee, but if the governor should call an extra session they would be allowed pay for the time. It is held by some that if the legislature should take a recess and then re- convene for the special purpose of trying Brown, it would be allowed special compen- sution for the extra work.

The findings are so strong {that Brown is condemned on evel hand. “It is a very dani ¢ showing,” said a_judge of the su- prewme cowt to-day. It is a terrible arraizn- ment,” said another state oflicer. “Brown’s guilt in taking rolls of money that did not belong to him is unquestionable,” said a third, and that is the tone of comment that is heard on all sides. Senator Whiting, who from the other members of the committee, stated that he should file a minority revort next Monday if allowed to do so. He differed principally on the question of whether Sher- man was justified in suspending Brown for the irregularides in his conduct of the office of auditor, but the main trouble with Whit- ing is last fall when running for governor he repeatedly declared that he believed Sher man had no right to suspend Brown, and if he were eleeted governor he would reinstate him. Now he hates to go back on that record, although he gets little support from other democrats, BALLOTING FOR TIE SOLDIERS' HOME.
