President Hayes announces his intention of going to Europe with Mrs. Hayes next summer. Although conGnctl to his bed, Professor Darwin is still able to read and prosecute his researches werkins: onlv in the moniin? from "C to ten o'cloek. His stomach is most severely affected, and he ex periences great bodily debility. The irrepressible Kecnan, late cf the Okolona States, has started a lurid shret at Memphis, called the Solid South. In his salutatory he prays God "the day be not far distant when the Union will be come a thing for worms to feed upon." The fallow should be abolished. Chief Justice Waite os in a handsome briek and brownstone house on Rhode Isiand avenue, "Washington. It is pleasuntly adapted for entertaining, and is full of pictures, books and orna ments. The Chief-justice does all his work in a charming hbrarv on the second floor. It is said in London that the jnarriajre of the Baroness Burdett Coutts with Ashmead Bartlett will take place during the present month, and the clause of the will of the Duchess of St. Albans, by which the Baroness would forfeit her interest in the bank in the event of marking a foreigner, will be contested in the courts. Mrs. Christiancy ought to stop talking to the reporters. Her mental caliber is not sufficient for the manufacture of plausible stories and the result is that she damages her cause full as much b' her speech now as she did by her pen in the letters which have just been given to the public. The popular verdict will probably be that she is an incurabby silly woman, whom it would be drngerous to keep in anv well regulated familv. There is nothing more ludicrous than the alarm of the British gar rison troops over diabolical fenian plots, which exist mainly in the imagination. The story of the at tempt to blow up a British ironclad in the Frith of Forth proves to be a canard, and yet the police courts in Liverpool solemnly examined two young girls who had over a hundred maps of English counties in their possession, and who were thus held to be fenians. It never occurred to the judges that these maps might be the result of sneak thieving about book stalls. Representative Reagan of Texas Is a thorn in the side of railroad companies. He has a persistence -which never wears out, and he is now fresh from the holiday recess and there is blood in his eye. He introduced a substitute for the inter-state commerce bill in the house last week which strikes some of the companies hard. Among other things which it provides are that one man shall not be charged more than another for the same transportation service, and that more shall not be charged .for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line. The Mississippi river is bound in time to play a part in regulating continental freight transportation, not unlike that of the Erie canal, in relation to the New York rail roads. The blockage in through freights on all the eastern and -western roads, threatened a couple of weeks ago to set back as far as St Louis, but was relieved there 1)3' starting the corn and wheat down the river; from 300 to 400 car loads at a time were transferred to barges. As trade develops and navigation improves, it is plain that this must become more common but through rail rates -will some day be fixed by the competition of the Mississippi, on -which navigation is never closed. Ireland far the Irish. Eighty-three years ago, Charles James Fox enunciated the princi ple that 1 reland ought to be gov erned by Irish ideas. His views on the subject were set forth in one of his speeches in parliament in the following language: 1 would have the Irish govern ment regulated by Irish notions and Irish prejudices, and I firmly believe, according to the Irish ex pression; that the more she is un der Irish government, the more she will be bound to English in terests. As the champion of Irish ideas, Fox was denounced in England and adored in Ireland. Jt was nearly thrcc-cjuarters of a century after Fox enunciated his Iribh gov ernment principle before any Brit ish premier ventured to put it into practical shape. William Ewart Gladstone was the first to attempt its practical realization. .Much of his first term as first lord of the treasuiy was devoted to a reforma tion of the gYcrnment of Ireland in accordance with Irish ideas. Strange to say, it resulted in the overthrow of his administration, and that by the vote of the Irish members, who, as representatives f the Irish idea of Irelands gov ernment, ought to have given him their cordial support. There were ,, , 7 . iroiaxii milieu r. u.hu,- ing that term of office introduced, namely: The disestablishment of the state church in Ireland, a modi fication of the Irish tenure of land system, and a proposition for the settlement of the vexed question of University education in Ireland. The state church was successfully disestablished, and it became there after merely a free Episcopal church. It caused more irritation to certain Bishops who were de prived of seats in the house of lords than any other class. The land-tenure system was also le formed by the adoption of a bill, which embraced what was known as the Ulster tenant-right. Justin McCaithv, in his History of Our Own Times, says: The principle of tenant-right was that a man should be allowed to remain in undisturbed pos session of his holding as long as he paid his rent; that he should be entitled, in giving up the land, to compensation for unex hausted improvements, and that he. should be at liberty to sell the good-will of his farm for what it would fetch in the market. The same authority says the Irish land-tenure bill, which le came law, was of inestimable value to Ireland; As it completely upset the funda mental principles on which legis lation had always previously dealt with Irish land-tenure, ft recog nized a certain ownership ou the part of the tenant as well as that of the landlord. The rock upon which Glad stone's ship of state struck was his attempt to reform university education in Ireland. The Irish university educational bill, which Mr. McCarty describes as "a gal hint and well-meant effort to recon cile the conflicting claims' of the representatives of the Protestant and Roman Catholic universities, was for the establishment of a cen tral university, which was to have no chairs, for theology, moral phi losophy,or modern history. The uni versity of Dublin, a Protestant in stitution; was to become this cen tral university, and existing col leges of either creed were to be come members of it. Provision was made for the support of the university in which disestablished church fund, the product of con fiscated church property, figured largely. Affiliating denomination al colleges had the privilege of framing schemes for their own jrovornment. Although the scheme promised, at first, to remove an other &f Irelands grievances, the sober second thought brought forth a strong expression that the con flicting religious claims represented in university education in Ireland could not thus be harmonized. When it came to a second reading the measure was defeated by the vote of home rulers. A subse qucnt appeal to the country in dorsed the action of the corn- inons and in .fr. Gladstones res ignation. After a lapse of several years, Gladstone is again in office. Irish grievances again confront him and threaten his administration with disaster. The question of land tenure, which he had apparently disposed of when iu office before, looms up suddenly in a new shape. It has now assumed the form of right of ownership of the tenant iu his holding. The change was brought about by a strange visita tion of God a year of famine. The Irish land reform bill of 1S70 has only aggravated the conflict be tween tenant and landlord. The former, owiujr to his failure of crops, has failed to pay his rent lor one, and in some cases two years. The landlord h, in consequence, exercised his right of eviction un der the law. Both sides have gone to extremes, and intense ill feeling 1ms been naturally engendered thereby. The matter has gone so far that the government must do something either suggest measures for the relief of the ten ants at the expense of landlords or for the coercion of tenants iu the interest of landlords. Gladstone thus finds himself between two fires the Irish peasantry and land leaguers clamoring forth" compul sory sale of entailed estates at the fiiciM valuation for purposes of . , ..,-,. .ln.unU backed by the old British party, insisting upon the protection and sacrcdness of vested proprietory rights. If the law of primogeni ture, so far as it relates to Ireland, is tc be abolished, where will the movement stop? What would prevent it extending to the entail ed estates of England, Scotland and Wales, and even to the heredi tary title to the British crown? The movement is infeetiuus. NEW TO-DAY.
