i EBtfNSBURC. PA.. FRIDAY, - - DECEMBER 25, 1885. Thk Common Council of Madison, Wisconsin, has inaugurated a war Against tbe skatiiig rinks in that place, nd are determined to get rid of them. Half a dozen divorce suits and a fright ful amount of scandal originating at these resorts aie the reasons assigned by tlie members for their action. j mem- Of the fonr hundred and one bers of the Senate and House at Wash ington, two hundred and eighty-five are hiwyers. In such n multitude of coun sel, according to the old adae, their ought to be a great deal of wisdom, but it oftan happens that very little of that useful article is visible to the naked eye. The wealth of the late William II. Vanderbilt having been definitely ascer tained to have amounted to about one hundred and ninety millions of dollars, And the prestnt population of the Uni ted States being estimated at sixty mil lions, the dead millionaire could have given every man, woman and child in the country a 3 Christmas present and have had ten millions left. I At a meeting of representative citi 7.ens held at Indianapolis on Saturday week, an association, to be known m the Hendricks Monument Association, was organized, the object of which is ex plained by the title. A committee com- posed of over 5,000 citizens, represent ing every county and town in the State, was appointed, and the work of canvass sing for subscriptions will be Imme diately begun. A bill to retire the trade dollar has been again introduced in the Senate by Senator Mitchell, of this State, and re ferred to the Finance Committee. It provides "taat until July 1, 1380, trade dollars, if not defaced, mutilated oi stamped, shall be received at the office of the Treasurer or any Assistant Treas urer of the United States." The sec ond section provides that these trade dolalrs shall not be re-issued, but sent to the mint for re-coinage into standard silver dollars. The third section repeals all laws authorizing the coinage or issu ance of trade dollars. i)s the fourth page of onr paper we publish an important Act of Assembly passed at the last session of the Legisla ture, regulating the collection of taxes in the several boroughs and townsh5psof tbe State. The provisions of the act will go into effect at the next February or spring election, when one person to be styled "Collector of Taxes" will be elected, whose duty it will be to collect all the borough and township taxes ex cept the road taxes, not payable in money, which may be worked out as heretofore. As the act entirely alters the mode of collecting the different borough and township taxes and en larges the duties of the Collector, the people oueht to see to it that the beat and most competent men are selected. Both branches of Congress adjourned ou Mor.day until Tuesday, January 5th. Up to the adjournment Congress had beeu in session two weeks and during that time 720 bills had been introduced into the Senate, and in the House on Monday when it adjourned at 5 p. m., 1,004 bill bihs were offered and referred although only 14 of the 38 States had been called, commencing at Alabama and stopping at Maine. Assuming these figures as a basis can any man een make a guess at the number of bills that will fall upon the two houses like the leaves of the forest in autumn, by the first day of next April or May ? Men may come and men may go, but the busine?ss of making laws, both National and State, in this country, goes on forever. It is an old saying, but there never was a truer one, that "The world is governed too much." The editor of the Johnstown Tribune in referring to the bill introduced into tbe Senate by Mr. Hoar, of Massachu setts, to repeal the Tenure of Office act passed in 18G7 to tie up the hands of Andrew Johnson, by providing that persons appointed to office under the National Government should not be removed until their terms (four years) have xpired, except by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, says the bill ought to pass, for the reason that "whatever administration is in power should; be responsible for all its acts, and therefore should have such subordinates as best suit its purposes." This is precisely the text of every Dem ocratic seimon that has been preached since Cleveland was inaugurated, and when it H remembered that the editor of the Tribune is the Republican Poet master at Johnstown, the candor and directness of his position on this question are alike crtditable to Lim, although exceptional from a Republican stand point. There isn't anything of the political sneak in the compo3itiou of the Johnstown ostmaster. wallsha a. oRow is determined to " . - - .an ... be "vindicated," as the saying goes, anu wun mat end in view he has an nounced himself as a candidate to suc ceed John I. Mitchell in the United States Senate at the election to take place by the Legislature next January one year. Grow proposes to visit all the counties in the State in which the Re publicans are in the majority, at or about the time of their County Conven tions, and secure instructions for him self on the plea that he was unjustly treated by the Cameron ring in 1881. We don't believe that Galusba A. will succeed in accomplishing tne work he has set before himself during tbe com ing summer. For several years past he has been regularly pushed to the front at the opening of each important elec tion to do the heavy preliminary work of the campaign, and he always did it, after which he was quietly shelved, the men who bent him to their own purpo ses not having any more use for him. His fate iu tbe future can be safely pre dicted fioai !i:3 rrpeiitticw iu the past. "Sherman or death" is the watch word in Ohio Republican circles just now, a correspondent at Columbus, the Capital, having proclaimed that "the Republican legislator who sells out this time will be hanged." This bloody threat has its origin in the fear that in some mysterious way two of the three Republican majority on joint ballot in the Legislature may be switched off the main Republican track to the Demo cratic siding, and send some other man than Sherman to the Senate. There is not much, if any probability that this will be done, and Sherman's election. we think, is assured. The threat, above quoted, to hang any Republican who bolts Sherman, had its conntemart. m : this State in 1903 when the Democrats had a majority of one on joint ballot and Simon Cameron undertook by his well ! known arts to defeat Charles It. Bucka j lew, the Democratic nominee for Sena I tor, and carry off the prize himself. To ! effect this some Democrat had to be 1 bought and this important matter had ! been well attended to, according to the ; subsequffnt report of a committee of the i House of which Cyrus X.. Pershing, I who then represented this county, was i chairman. Alderman "Bill" McMul len, of Philadelphia, however, appeared at Ilarrisburg ou the morning of the day of the election, and with him came one hundred of his trusted associates, each carrying on his person a revolver. pledged by a solemn oath to shoot down any Democrat who deserted Buckalew for Cameron. The member who had been bribed didn't want to be shot just at that time and voted for Buckalew, who was elected by a majority of C7 to f.c, for Cameron The only difference between the two cas s is that at Har- risburg the Democratic traitor was to be shot, wnile at Columbus tbe Repub lican Judas is to be strung up as high as Haman. A convention composed of the Mayors and Aldermen of twenty-one cities in Iowa met a week ago yesterday at Des Moines, and resolved to ask the Legislature for a modification of the prohibitory law, which will per mit cities containing a population of four thousand or more to control the sale of liquor as they think best, provided no license is issued for less than five hun dred dollars. An exhaustive review of the workings of Prohibition, as illus trated in ninety-nine counties in Iowa, including every city and town of three hundred inhabitants, has just been given to the public by Mr. Sutton, a member of the State Senate of that State. He says that while the small villages in sora instances have been enabled to en force the law, in the larger cities and towns there h practically no effort made to abolish the traffic. Des Moines, Mr. Sntton says, which two years ago, under a high license law, had reduced the number of its saloons to sixty, now has one hundred and seventy-five ; Daven port reports an increase of thirty, Da buqe, one hundred and twenty-six ; Keo kuk, thirteen ; Sioux City, twenty-five, and Ottumwa reports "four times as many and ten times as bad." Water loo, a place of six thousand irhabitants, reports a reduction from twenty to six teen, together with less drunkenness, less loafing, less carousing, bnt it is ex plained that this is the result, cot of Prohibition, but of ao annual tax of f275 levied on the saloons, without re gard to the prohibitory law. Accord ing to Senator Sutton's facts, Prohibi tion in Iowa is a lamentable failure, as it has been in every State where the ex periment has been tried. Gen. Robert Toombs died at his home in Washington, Ga.,on Tuesday of last week, in the 76th year of his age. Forty years ago he was elected to Con gress and continued to serye In that hody until he was elected to the Senate in lso.'5.

So many contradictory reports as to what Mr. Gladstone would or would not d j in regard to Home Rule for Ireland in the event of his resumption oT the reins of government, have been pub lished in the English newspapers and reproduced in this country, that he has thought proper to define his position by publishing the following : JJ A WARDEN, Dec. 19, 18 ill sboold at anv tiina h r. i intentioo UJ Innnilnoa An . v. . - " j h-i.ii ur " W1U 06 dne publicly and on my own responsibility, not by an Mm.n8, VLd Irresponsible declaration My political friends are assured that I re member my obligations to them, and they rfnVAV6 n"derstand I bound Z lM 8 'dMM "'PecMnK home rule for Ireland recently announced in my name After saying this much I hold myself ex cujed from replying to further Inquiries, ru mors or allegation regarding tbe Irish ques tion. William E. Gladstone. The Orangemen in the province of Ulster are terribly excited over the ni icy towards Ireland which has ben im. puted to Mr. Gladstone Home Rule under a Parliament iAt by the Irish people and sitting in Dub- u,aiDa most dire of all curses that could be inflicted upon that country They even threaten to start a big civil war if the demands of Parnell, backed I?. JTl.?mhVf the Irish people, are complied with. Orangemenhave always beeu abject slaves to English royalty, and "tbe rie-ht Divi,.t vnM to govern wrong." . ' MOHK RULE FOR IRELAND. There appears to be little donbl that Mr. Gladstone is prepared to submit a comprehensive Home-Rule plan for Ire land, even if the announcement of the details of his scheme as described in the cable reports should prove premature. The absuidity of the prejudice against permitting Ireland to manage her own local affairs has been made more appa rent than ever by the foolish lavings of the English press about the result of the elections and the power held over the new Parliament by Mr. Parnell. and it is natural that the Liberals, who are more progressive and better disposed to consider the Doonle's rights than the i (Conservatives, should be the first to ac cept the inevitable. Home Rule must come. The only question is. From which side will it come ? There is nothing in the scheme attributed to Mr. Gladstone that ought to be objectionable to England. An Irish Parliament would, of course, be a fnndamantal necessity of Home ule ; but of what value would a Parliament be if the Imperial authority held a veto over its acts ? Imagine the Legisla ture of New York or any other Ameri can State being subject to the veto of the President. If Home Rule is given to Ireland at all it must be honest Home Rule, by which the people of Ireland in their own way and through their own representa tives may regulate all their home af fairs, and especially their own police. If the Imperial authority should control the police any pretense of Ilome Rule in Ireland would be a sham. Our own Southern States had a taste of such a policy when ruled by Federal bayonets, which changed home rule into carpet bag rule. Ireland will succeed because her claim , is just. It is constitutional and not rev- J olutionary. It asks not concessions but consistency. It seeks no more for one part of the United Kingdom than j another part enjoys. What would Eng- lishmen think if all their local affairs, including their police, were ruled from Ireland ? Ought they not to consider what Irishmen must feel when they have no local rights, but are ruled whol ly from England ? Parnell is the Deak of Ireland. Ire land is England's Hungary. And the similitude will be borne out by the re sult. Deak devoted himself to resisting the encroachments of the Central Gov ernment at Vienna on tbe rights of his country, and to removing those abuses which for years had been a blight and a curs to a naturally great, patriotic and progressive people. Parnell is de voting himself to freeing Ireland from oppression and injustice that have drag ged her backward while the world has been advancing, and have turned the light-heartedness, generosity and loy aliv of a bright, brave and genial peo ple into rooroseness and revengefulness. Revolution did not enter into Deak's plans. ItdoesBot enter into Parnell 's plans. But revolution came in Hunga ry in 1S4S and wrested from the Govern ment the laws of 1848, which conceded every important demaud Deak bad ever made. The bad faith of Austria after wards sought tr nullify those laws, and it was not until after the disastrous battle of Nadowa that Francis Joseph was prepared to submit to the just de mands Deak h d always insisted upon, and the result was the present dualistic system of the Au?tro-IIungarin mon archy. What is the consequence? While formerly a German was'not tolerated in Hungary, to day he is treated as cour teously as a person of any other nation ality, and while the Emperor and Em Press of Austria are not thought of the the King and Queen of Hungary receive the enthusiastic recognition of the peo ple. Parnell, the Irish Deak, will secure Home Rule for his country, let us hope, without bloodshed, and before long who knows bnt an Englishman will be as welcome in Limerick as he is Middle sex, while the people of Kilkenny will shout themselves hoarse in honor of the Queen of Ireland ? Only the other day Prince Bismarck and the Emperor William stood stoutly up for Home Rule by denying the right of the German Reichstag to interpellate Prussia on the subject of the exclusion of the Poles that being a matter of Prussian Home Rule to be acted on bv tne l russian L,aDatag alone.

It is related of the late Judre 11 A. ? -mtwam . " mat, m iso, just arter ne was appoint fed Attorney General of the United r-iates, ne was staying at the Astor uouse, in .ew York. Scores of lead mg politicians called upon him. One day a small, gray-hxired man arrived at the hotel, and registered himself as juage j. wiiuams, Iowa. On seeing tbe name of Judge Black on the book he took a card and wrote : "The Su preme Judge or Iowa m-esents his onm pliments to the Attorney General of the United States." He sent this up to Judge Black's room, together with a nair sneet or paper on which he had written : "Oh, Jerry, dear Jerry, I've found you at last ! And memory, burdened with scenes of the past, Returns to old Somersefi scow. mountains of When you were but Jerry and I was but Joe." In leas than three minutes th o-root dignified Judee Black was lyimtnir down the stairs, two steps at a time, with a little bell bov in cIosp nn ran It. Two old schoolmates and law students were together after a separation of some thirty years. Two old men tmhrappd each other, and neither was able to ut ter a word. TnAT tenacious and prolific little cur. pet-bagger, the English sparrow, ap pears to have about lived down tbe per secution of his American opponents, but the strongest indictment yet pre ferred against him comes from far off South Australia. Two nairs of the birds were let loose in Adelaide a few years ago. and it is Baid they have al ready multiplied to two millions not scattered throughout the colouy, but crowded into the settled districts, a fact which is adduced as evidence that they do Dot subsist upon iDsect or wild ber ries, but feed almost entirely upon the fruit and grain produced by civilization. A recent letter from Adelaide thus pic tures the havoc made by the voracious marauders : "The sparrows are now busy picking off the almond fruit buds as they swell, and the peach, apricot and p'um will be attended to in due course. Should any buds be spared the sparrows are early in their attentions to the ripen ing fruit, and the grain before readv for reaping will be cleared bv them. In the sparrow we have an enemy far worse than the red rust, locust or Russians, and what with tbe favorable climate, the absence of natural enemies, and the immense breeding grounds in the ran ges, my impression is that unless some effective remedy is found the whole col ony will, in less than twenty years, be reduced to a mere sheep walk." Again the sparrows must go. The London World says; "The Empress Eugenie leaves farnsborough this week for Hyeres, where she has taken a villa for five months. The Em press has been far from well during the last few weeks. She has not benefitted by her Carlsbad cure this year, nor did 6be get much good bv hei sub stay in the Tyrol. THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD. In the course cf the debate on the Re vision of the Rules, the Hon. Samuel J. Randall said : "Sines tbe House has been under Democratic control there has not been an acre of land or a dollar of subsidy appropriated." This is true to tbe letter and line. When the Democracy, after years of exclusion from power, obtained, during the second Administration of Gen. Grant, the con trol of tbe House of Representatives, every department of the Government was reeking with corruption. Robeson ruled the Navy, and the plunderers in that branch of the service were su- preme. Jselftnap was at tne neai or the War Department, and the swindlers who had fastened themselves there were robbing right and left. The star Route thieves were pillaging the Post Office. The land-stealing corporations had full swing in the Interior Depart ment. The whiskey men were lapping the Treasury. On every hand were to be found bribery, fraud and general ras cality. The accession of the Democracy to the coutrol of the House of Repre sentatives brought the long debauch of corruption to an end. As Mr. Randall said, "Not an acre of land or a dollar of subsidy was appro priated." The Republican party gave to corporations, like the Pacific railroad companies, territories almost as large as some the European States. It gave tbe same corporations "subsidies" amount ing to the revenues of European mon archs. In all history no parallel can be found to tbe carnival of Republican corruption that set in during the period immediately following the war era. When Samuel J. Randall rapped tbe last session of the Forty-fourth Congress to order as Sneaker the Republican raids on tbe Treasury came to an end. In the Forty-fifth and the Forty-sixth Congresses the splendid record of Dem ocratic economy and honesty which he was so instrumental in inaugurating was continued, and the victories that have since followed-the party in nearly every State in the Union were made possible. To-day only a few votes in the Senate stand between the Democra cy and the complete control of the Gov ernment. It would be the supremest folly to reverse or to abandon a policy which has Hccomplished so much in so short a time. The Chicago Tribune has heard the rumor that Logan intends to oppose the confirmation of the Presiden't appoint ees in that city, and after stating that it is "doubtless incorrect. "opposes against sucb action a number of reasons, of which the following is the moet conclu sive to the Republican mind : "Pre venting the confirmation of Democratic appointees will not put the Republicans back in tbe positions they held before the administration became Democratic. It will only result iu substitution of other and perhaps less competent offi cials from the ranks of the dominant party." These lines contain the chief beauty of the situation. Roar as he pleases. Logan cannot put the Republi cans back in office or keep the Demo crats out. With the aid of the Repub lican Senate he might do something to make the offices go round among the Democrats. But that is all. A Valnsblt Sfedlrnl TrratUr.
