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.
