SIXTEENTH YEAR. CHANGES IN THE COMMONS, Justin McCarthy Tells of the Curious Polit- , ical Twins Recently Made. - THE OLD AND NEW LEADERS, Distinctive Traits of Churchill, Bal- four, Smith and Matthews Por- trayed—Parnell's Poor Health— The Coerclon Fightors: —— Among the Commoners, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnoy, May 15.—(New York Herald Cable—Suvecial to the Brk.]—The house of commons and the political situation have undergone many and curious changes since Ilast addressed your readers. Since then Randolph Churehill has come and gone as a leader of the house. Now he takes a back seat behind the government benches, and but rarely interposcs in debate. When he seeks to interpose he does not produce any marked effect on the house. He has been halt eclipsc Someliow he is not like his former self—or, perhaps I should rather s; elther of his former selves. He is not th dashing, daring leader of the little party free lances as we first knew him, nor is he the powerful minister made grave and weighty by a sense of responsibility we saw leading the house of commons not long since, and whom some of us, although politically opposed to him, were inclined to welcome as the rising statesman, I suppese his sudden resignation was a mistake. I first heard of itin America and was then disposed to be- lieve Randolph had good reason for his act, and that it would break up the ministry and make him stronger than before. 1t does not seem so, and he is in the awkward position of the chemieal lecturer who, having an- nounced with great pomp and fuss that he is about o perform some marvelous experi- ment, suddenly tinds his ingredients will not work and is lett face to face with a partly lisappointed and partly amused audience, A NICE YOUNG MAN, BUT— Randolph Churchill's former henchman, Arthur Balfour, the nephew of Lord Salis- bury, is trying to manage that terrible Irish oftice which kill'd Foster, turned Trevelyan's hair prematurely white and broke the health and dimmed the sight of Hicks-Beach, What will poor Balfour do with it? A feeble, languid, narrow-minded, wsthetical voung man, what business has he with such an experiment? Lam always reminded when 1 look at Balfour posturing as the lIrish secretary of the touching apology made in ““Love's Labor Lost” for the man who tries to play Alexander the Great in the show Eotten up to amuse the Princess France—an excellent neighbor, & very good howler in sooth; but, for Alexander, alas, you see how it is, a littleover parted. So itis with Bal- four—a nice young man, a cultured young man for an aesthetical tea drinking, quiet in his place, a very good scholar in sooth; but for Irish scerctary, alas, you seo how 1t is, a little over parte: A DISTINCTIVE SMITIL The house of commons is now led by a gentleman of whom 1 ventured to tell an American audience that he has at least one fmmense advantage—that of bearing the name of Smith. Smith is the very type and embodiment of the respectable, successful English tradesman, He is a respectable, sue- cessful Eiglish tradesman, and it is much to his credit that he has made such a nfme well known wherever the English language 1s spoken, for as he bears the remarkable name of Smith, he has made a fortune outof his trade in a great newspaper in all the railway stalls in Great Britain. He has hitherto done a yery good thing for himself, if not exactiy for such authors and journals as he declines to patronize; but as leader of the house of commons, as the successor to Disrael, Glad- stone, Stafford and Northcote, he scoms to bear an odd resemblance to Christopher Sly, tracked out as the suecessor toa line of princes, Mr.Smith has a round, broad, flat face, looking whimsically like a town elerk. Helisa wretched orator. with a poor, thin volce and ungainly gestures. e knows lit-e) tle or nothing of the rules of the house, is constantly making blunders and getting the parliamentary engine off the track, MATTHEWS, THE BEMARKABLE, There Is nobody else on the mimsterial senches worth noticing at all except Henry Matthews, home secretary. Your readers will remember Matthews chiefly by his re- markably strange antecedents, as an English barrister born In Ceylon, educated in Paris, and somo twenty yearsago going Into par- liament for an lIrish borough by publicly glorifying the feniau leaders and proclaim- Ing himself an English sympathizer with fenianism, He remained In parlia- ment some years and showed himself ® keen and clever debater, but dropped his fenianism and nceordingly was dropped by the Irish borough at the next elections. He was left out of parlinment for many years until Randolph Churchill, in his day of power, disinterred him and brought him into the house again and made him home secre- tary and a member of the cabinet. When Randolph resigned every one thought Mat- thews would resign algo, but the unex- ccted thing always happens with Matthews, and Matthews remained in oflico. Io has ot made much of & mark on the louse this time so far, but is undoudtedly & man of abil- ty, and probably when we have all made up our minds that he isa dead failure he will suddenly make Limselt a success, GLADSTONE FULL OF FIGHT. Now what of the opposition beneh? Glad- stone, to the front as ever, fighting the lrish cause with eneray, is in excellent health ana full of the joy of strife. He is full also of hope forthe speedy triumph of home rule, He to me the other day: *I cannot tind any one man in any section of English pol- itics who proposed or pretended to believe that the system of Irish goverument could remaln on the present b asis.” PARNELL'S POOKR HEALTIL I found Gladstone tull of anxiety about e health of Parnell, and he dwelt on the tue of Parnell’s life just now, not only to freland, but England, too. 1 have not seen arnell sinee his return from Dublin, day defore yesterday. I believe he is better so far s bis bronchial attack i3 concerned, but his general health is far from good. Lle has aged sadly of late. Lle is still a young man, but looks stooped and old and wasted. Ten years ago, even five years ago, he stood like a young athlete n the strife, 1t Is the old story—the sword has worn out the scabbard, Parnell is giving his life for Ireland as certainly as if e woere it for her on the battle field. Of eourse he is greatly missed by his colleazues, but we wish %o spare him all wo ean, as he is now giving osparing himself, Besides, at this mo: withthe coerclon bill in committee, the de- ‘gates are such as can be dealt with by clever, skillful lawyers, well acquainted with the practical administration of erimiual law i Lrelaud, THE TRIBI FIGATENS, ‘The fighting work of tue Irish party is mainly done these nights by the two Healys, Chance. and O'Doberty, and splendid and marvelous is the tghting work they do.

All miss William O'Brien, but suppose we shall have him back again, for we are zoin to make him a member of parliament. He hates parhiament, but will have to put up with it, for we want him. Indeed, we should like to know what sacritice of personal eom - fort and personal reelings there is which William O'Bricn would not make in the service of his country, The Irish party holds no man more single min; , more dauntless, more patri- otic, more self-sactiticing, *“I'he zeal of his cause has eaten him up.” which the wild beasts of Ephesus—that is to say, Dublin castle—were not able to do, though they tried hard enongh to do it.

When ‘Tamberlik first opened lus lips in Terzetto from “Will- fam Tell,” the worn and quavering voice made a painful fmpression. But soon the exquisite mastery and art of the execution, and the lingering beauty of many of the notes, excited enthusiasm. 1ln the duet from Rossini’s “otell,” by Tam verlik and Aldighieri, the really littte impaired tones of the latter and the famous C sharp of the former roused a perfect storm of applause and the piecejwas repeated. But the performance which ealled forth the greatest applause was Sivouri’s playing Pagainini's arrangement for one string, the prayer from “Moses in Egypt.” The tones drawn from that string by the old master were perfect in sweetness and beauty, feeling and purity. ‘The faintest, long-drawn note was clearly heard at the very extremity of the house, s0 intense was the silence of the audi- ence, who, at the end, burst into cries of admiration, Signorl Marchiso sang with splendid art a duflicult air.

The fire has been smouldering beneath the surfac that no one was prepared for the explosion that has come. I'he trouble is over the lig- uor question and the part that druggists have to do with it. They are generally such apatient and long-suffering class of men, that the public {idn’t realize that they could have feelings like othe folks, and be hurt by the jibes and taunts of the thoughtless. But it seems they have, and do not propose tostand it any longer. The last legislature, realizing that some provision should be made for the proper and legitimato sale of liquor, turned the whole matter over to the drug- gists, making them responsible for the proper exercise of the privile Conse- quently the only place in the state where lig- uor can be bought openly is the drug store, Some of the drug ave endeavored to live up to the letter and spirit of the law in this respect. Otnhers have abused the priv- ilege and brought reproach upon the whole class,and made the druggist the subject of innumerable jests and unkind thrusts. From Maine to California the lLowa drug store has become the topie for the end-man's jokes and the paragrapher’s wit. The varicty or minstrel show that vis- its the city, never fails to have its eheap fling at the drug store. ‘The former saloon keepers look colaly and reproachfully atthe druggist and eharge him with having supplanted them, ‘The fanatical prohibi- tionists are continually nosing around his back alley to discover Some signsof violation of the law, and pounce down on him with a constable.” One class of the community turns up its nose at the druzgist, and says he is no better than a saloon keeper, and tells its children not to play with the children of the druggist, for he sells whisky, Another class that has frequent sof indisposition that only a case of Milwankee will cure, gets very f the drugzist hesitates to supply th nd and intimates that it would be vio- f helaw, So between the devil and the deen sea the druggist who tries to be hon- estand decent s a pretty tough time of it. Itis no wonder, thereforé, that he rebels at last. “The worm will turn, why not the drug- xist who has been abused past the point of endurance, 5o at this state convention the past week, there was a very excited discus- sion over this question, and a large part ot the druggists, led by Norman Liehty, of this city, endeavored to” commit the assoelation to ask the next levislature to take ti liquors entirely out or their hanis, sald they were sick and tired the whole business, They ~had been taunted and reproved with selling whisky for a business, and had been jeered at as no better than the saloon keepers, till their own children had began to suffer the shame of the insult put_upon the parents, and they vould stand it no longer.” Mr. Lichty pre- ted a very strong paper in support of his ews, 10 which he said that as a fact the s of liquor for medicingl purposes had been greatly overestimiated. 1le mentioned that to satisty his own curiosity on the sub- ject, he had taken note of the number of calls at his own store in four days’ time for six r remedies, and they amounted to 120. Juring the me time the number of appli: cations for liquors of all kinds was but forty and seven of these he refused, But Mr. Lichty 1s one of the druggists who have to bear the reproach of other druggists’ sins, Some of them do sell enormous quantities of liquor in utter violation of the spirit of the law, Butalthoush there was not a majority of the convention in favor of giving up th sale of liquor entirely, there is a very large and influential element that is tired of the reproach that is being put upon the druggists as aclass, and they will keep up the agita- tion till a change in the law is effected.” It seems there is a good deal more feeting on the subject among the drugzgists themselves than the public cenerally had supnosed, aud the vietim of the minstrel’s joke is entitled to a good deal of sympathy.

Bavtivore, May 15~ to the Br 'here is not the slightest doubt that the Baltimore & Ohio deal is slowly approaching consummation. Its snail-like progress is explained by the fact that the Baltimore & Ohio people are exercising the most painstaking care in the selection of the participants in order that they shall still hold the reins in the new gov- arnment. The three influences that Presi dent Garrett s trying to avoid are, first, the Pennsylvania road; sccond, Gould; and third, simply rich men who " would only ~takeé n passive interest in the system. The purpose is to bind tozether in one great system, the active, substantial roads in the west, northwest and south, to give these roads an outlet to the At lantie seaboard and to double the Baltimore & Ohio’s per eent. of through traflic. Backed by the momentum and ¢ oneiliatory intiuence of theso roads, the — Baltimore & Ohio feels confident it will be able to force its w: to New York, even though its line from Phila- delplna to New York costs twice as muel its $17,000,000 road from Baltimore to Phila- delphia.

Tho Denvers Win Another Lioague Contest From the Omahas, NIP AND TUCK TO THE LAST. Three Thousand Spectators and Una usual Excitemont—The Score Nino to Seven—Other Sunday Games Elsewher Yelling For Encouragement, A noisy Sunday erowd cheered good plays and yelled “rats” to the umpire at the base ball game between the Omahas and Denvers yesterday afternoon. ‘The game started oft as prettily as had the one the day before, and closed amid excitement which has rarely been equalled in the history of the national sport in this city. The Denvers seemingly had the game at the opening ot the ninth ine ning and in five minutes thereafter it looked very probable that the home team would wrest it from the visis tors’ grasp. 1t Bader had been lucky enough to lave lifted the ball for even a single base hit he undoubtedly would have tied the score, and given the Omahas a fair chance to win, But he didn’t, and so the result was Y and 7, in favor of the Devyers. And how tie crowd did yell when Kreh- meyer led off this last Tforlorn-hope in- ing with a pretty base hit! They yelled only 0 loud once before, when Krehmeyer had made a clean home run, sending a raise line fly to the ex- treme northeast corner of the grounds. The next batter, Bourke, increased the enthusis asm by waking another clean base hit and pushing Krehmeyer along, Then Messitt followed with a hot one which was fumbled and the Omahas had three men on bases and nobody out The inning before had been one of no lite tle excitement because ot a thoroughly bad decision of the umpiic on a Denver player who undertook to steal accond base and was caught. Hirley called him sate. Thereupon so palpable was the incorrectness of the di ion, the whole multitude of 3,000 person ¢ as one man and remarked, “Rats!” One individual became too practical in his demon- ation of disapproval and threw a cushion atthe umpire. It went oyer that person’s head and hita player. Then the manage- ntof the grounds undertook an invest ion and succeeded in finding and ca the tempory arrest of the excited cl pion of the Omaha's richts, while the police oflicers were taking the prisoner out the andience expressed a desire tllun they should take the wmpire along with them. Itis not diflicult to imagine, in view of this state ot affairs, what the excitement when it appeared possible, on the ninth ning, that the Omahas 'could win, or, at least, tie the seore, But the fortune of the day was not with them, and the came closed with the visitors aliead and one inning to their credit.

But the players yellod ana jumped, and sweat just as hard a3 their pro= fessional brethren were doing_on the other field. ‘The game was between the Lucas club, composed of white players, and the Pic wick club, exclusively colored. ‘I'he colored troops fought nobly, but the machinations white forces, who had a superior ledize of the new rules of the game, out done them, ‘The score was 20 to 15.
