Is no other country in the world does any one man "wield the influence which Sir. Pnrnell exerts in Ireland. Bismarck and Gladstone arc the only two personalities besides Parcell, who dominate over large masses of men. But neither Bismarck nor Gladstone can nominate- and elect candidates for scores of constituencies or carry the votes of his party in his pocket Both these things Parnell does. If a par liamentary vacancy occurs in Ireland, nothing is done until 3Ir. Parnell is consulted. He decides who the can didate shall be, and the person selected by him is nominated and elected. nius'XIr. Parnell's party is dependent upon nim, and each man owes to him something like personal allegiance. As a result of this the Irish members are delegates, whose votes are at !Mr. Parnell's disposal- The most signal illustration or this occurred in the di visions of parliament on the royal grants. Ijabonchere and the radicals, representing the undoubted sentiment of every radical in the country and of not a few conservatives, opposed res olutely any further grants to royalty. One would have supposed that the Irish, among whom there is so much republican sentiment, and who certainly owe no favors to royalty, would have voted with the radical party, more especially as it is the radicals who havo espoused the Irish cause and made sacrifices for it But Mr. Parnell had decided to support the royal grants; he ordered his party to vole with him, and, much to the disgust of the radicals, they fol lowed him. There is said to be a little irritation among some of the Irish members at this rule, but no one openly rebels or Mr. Parnell might find means to eject him from the party. There are many people in England, and some men of intelligence in America, who seriously believe that Mr. Parnell is a dangerous revolu tionist in favor of a policy of violence. There cannot be a more absurd delu sion, as the evidence in the tedious Parnell commission has abundantly shown. All advanced people in Eng land only wish that Mr. Parnell were a revolutionist "What they complain of is that he is not Many of them think Mr. Parnell and his colleagues have exploited and emasculated a rev olutionary movement So far as Mr. Parnell has any definite politics he is unquestionably conservative and merely national. It is this fact which has partially severed the Irish movement from con tinental sympathy. All progressive people in Europe sympathize with Ire land as agaiust the British govern -xaent: but they take comparatively little interest in a struggle which wears for them not only a merely local but distinctly conservative character. The truth probably if that Mr. Parnell docs represent, bet ter than any other man, the average Irish sentiment Given a people largely conservative, an existing econ omic condition, and the Parnell lead ership is the best kind of result Be sdeshe has the pertinacity that in the long run accomplishes its chosen object Washctgtox may seem to be more pushing than Oregon but she has a legislature the like of which never gathered in the capitol of this com monwealth. The spectacle of thirty or forty representatives attending the theatre, flirting with the ballet girls. making unseemly comments, throwing paper wads, singing variety songs and in short acting like amateur hoodlums, is almost nauseating. The fact that aaanyof these overgrown boys were prominent members of the assembly xaakes theirconduct all the more as tonishing. There has been consider able discussion in that sago body as to the location of the reform school. It now seems that Olympia would be the best situation. Tacoma and Seattle are disgusted because they are left out in the cold. while Spokane will get the only ap propriation for a public building. Perhaps this serves them right It is the old story, that while two are fight ing the third carries off the prize. Spokane is a thoroughly progressive and public spirited town, and deserves the honor that Congress confers upon her. The movement to have the stars and stripes float over the public schools is receiving universal endorse ment The flag of the free shoidd be over even- public school in the nation. A public school with the American flag above it is a pretty good exponent of our institutions. Quite a force of men is engaged in active work on the Lewis and Clarke on railroad work on the line of the Astoria and South Coast road, and the number will be increased as rapidly as progress makes possible employing them to Hie best advantage. The attention of Astorians and the rest of mankind is directed to the fact that the Hunt railroad is coming to Astoria. It is a case of manifest destiny. Is thcie any city of its size in the United States that can show a larger aggregate of real estate transactions for the first sixty-six days of 1890 than Astoria can? TcSvithuiioSioilxiu"; House.
