Recollecting all that has happened in the last few year, it would have been expecting too juwh of humnn nature to expect Mr. Parnell ami his followers to sit, quiet and acquiescent, while the iiouie of commons was Toting thanks to ilia retiring tjMsaker. They seoin to have mafia their pretest however, in as quiet and gentlemanly a way as the circ*mstances permitted. Everybody will be glad to bear that the bust of Lmiyfello to be sot up in Westminster Ab.
ija striking and noble work of art worthy i.I thn man and of the plaro. To sum it n.ay eia that the duty of unveiling it wight more fitly have fallen to Lord Tennyson or Mr. Robert Drowning than to the prime-minister. But Mr. ttiaJntone's presence chief actor at the ttremouy ill have a fitness of its own.
One of the most important witnesses before the Oanvllle invpstigwting committee was Con jjresMiian Juno 8. Wise of Virginia, ho gave a lartfe amount of l.cunintary evidence to es-tiblivh the Iw-t that the uVmociats forced the rar Ii-i'ie into the campaign, and endeavored in every way to inflame the passions of the whites of thu state against the negroes. He rimiiu out a strong chms. The Reagan bill, by which congress projioses t- prevent some of the prevailing unjust praclices of railroads by the exercise of Its right to commerce between the states, is re-g-uvlo I cs so likely to lie passed that the lending railroad managers instead of opposing it fjvdi staving it ott by the nppoinf mcnt of a oimitiKsioii. This may lie the more jurik-iou our, but a mtuifeat confession by lie lail-road both of the new! of some action aud of the 1 iht of congress to act.
Ch'irles 1'. Stone, late lieuteuant general in tlifl Iyptian service, asserts that in what he 1iil for ttie suppression of the slave-trade in the Komi in, ti yraro ago, Chinese liordon tuprely the wiittin instructions of Khedive I-iinnil. In support of this assertion ho prints in the original French nine paragraphs which, lie has Ihe btst of reasous" lor believing, loi'ined a art of those instructions. It they nrc Miilhentic a we haven't a doubt that they are ihey certainly bear (Jciieral Stone out. The iot paragraph quoted runs as follows; "All inut understand that men do not merchaudi.sa bwcauie they are of a dif- ii tit color (from our own! and that life aud liberty are saci'ed thiufrw." Ir.
Collins, a brother of the dead of th Jeanni tte exsslitiou, iiroposes to ask a congressional invest igaliou, in wh ch ho would be superfluous It is eifcragh that, in spite of the "efficient work" of the "executives of leading roads," they do exist and hold office. Something more must be done in the way of "controlling legislation" and "formulating public sentiment," which is euphemistic for "buying legislator! and newspaper writers." So a "representative organization" is herewith established and "you" are requested as a "prominent trustee" of railroad property to forward for the funds of "the association" the "voluntary contribution of blank filled 1 11 dollars." "Checks, postal orders, or currency" are welcome, No petty stickling about New York draft. Send anything that will go Into a pooketbook. That is about the size of the request. The alarming statement is made in the circular that "some of the bills before congress discriminate in favor of short hauls," while "to suffer the railways of this country to be put under government supervision and control sroulJ tend to destroy confidence in the value of that kind of property." On the other hand, this associition (please forward blank dollars), is designed to stimulate confldence.
It is an ex-Oillent scheme, too good to flourish in tjieldark. Lit its promoters make public a list of contri butors, and so still further stimulate confldence not merely in railroad property, but in associations for receiving subscriptions. Another fiendish dynamite explosion baa iken place in London, this time in the Victoria railway station on the Holborn viaduct, Seven poor people, who probably never bad an evil thought against "eld Ireland," were badly injured. So far as Americans are concerned tbey need have no feeling in the matter, except lndignatiou against such a crime against civilization, were it not for the fact that the funds to provide the dynamite and probably the dynamite itself are secured from this country, by organizations well known ami hich receive a certain amount of popular encouragement. How long should we tolerate such a state of olTairs if the explosions were In this country and tho conspirators in Great Britain rVoiiiii scribes it-elf on its title-iace as a magazine devoted to the cause of the Indians, and a very instructive aud readable magazine it Is.

If tbe legislative comnuttee approve of their suggestions, efforts will be made to interest the old ildiera every part of the state. The name of Colonel Ueorge P. Bisseli was suggested for Grand Marshal and met the unanimous approval cf the committee.
Probably the legislative com mittee will select the marshal aud the orator for the occasion. The commission that bos had entire charge of the preparation Of the statue is composed of tbe following gentlemen: Hobert B. Bigelow, Henry B. Harrison. William A.
Aiken, George G. Sill, Thomas Thurber. Tbe statue is the work of the artisi, Olin I Warner, and has been highly commended. It will be finished bv the middle of March, but it is thought best to postpone the unveiling until a more propitious season of the year. COLLEGE OUATOB8.

I111 I. PAKKEK, GSOKtiB Wai.kek, JOSKPU lt.TWCCHItl.t Committee of the council. TUE 8TREET HOM 31 ISSIOX. The A linn a I Report Statement or elites aim Same Interesting Points. The report cf the street commissioners has appeared in printed form, and contains, be-si les much mattsr that cannot ba abridged, some points of general interest, to which allusion may be made.
There was appropriated in advance for the use of tbe board $183,363.44, of which $72,000 was for general expenses, the other large items being $15,000 for the Flower street bridge, $43,430 55 (including unexpended balance at tbe beginning of the year) for the northeast sewer, and $49,000 for lamps and gas. Unexpended balances, chiefly on the sewer and tbe bridge, amount to about $34,000. Some space is given to the matter ot sewer ventilation, the importance of which is described. Under the head of street cleaning it is stated that 5,140 loads of scrapings were removed from tbe streets, and loais of ashes and garbage removed to tbe dumping grounds. It is said that the common custom of emptying refuse into the street is not only a direct violation of the law, but dangerous and annoying to the public, and a cause of increased expense to the city.
The board ssy tbat the police department should enforce the law in this respect and add that thev do not know of complaint having been made by any policeman during the year though they are directed by law to notice and report such case3. Attention is called to thu fact tbat tbe city spends annually $40,000 in making and repairing its roads and $50,000 in lighting The reduction in the price of gas is raeutioned and it is suggested tbat in toe end there must be more. It is also suggested that thn Steam company's pipes make much trouble in the streets and the opinion expressed tbat tbe streets shonld not be given for private uses without some return. Tbe report of tbe superintendent of streets follows that of the board. He also speaks ot the garbage tronble.
His remarks on the stone quarries will attract attention among those who have supposed tbe supply to be practically inexhaustible. He savs tbat toe supply of blue stone north of New Britain avenue will be exhausted iu about two years, and tbat though the city has an abundant supply south of tbat avenue, preparations should be begun in season for the removal of tbe crushers and other appliances concerned in getting out and breaking up the stone. As to the sewers, it is said that many of the old ones are in bad condition. Tbe bridges generally are in good condition, but in that on Asylum avenue the east abutment is badly cracked by the settling of the pile foundation. Tbe sidewalks are said not to be in as good condition as tbey should be, and it is added tbat too many private cross walks are laid down, to the injury of the streets.

The spring styles in imported bonnets are al ready being shown in tbe "Bee Hive" millinery parlors. Novelties in made-up lace goods are sow shown at tbe "Bee Hive."

The Ohio Valley Fund. The contributions to the committee's fund for the Ohio sufferers amount to a little less than $0,000. The record thus far is as follows: Previously acknowledged $1 7W 19 church i to Firl aesooitotlon of Bplrltualiel. 1" IX) Cash 5 00 Total 1 The Iteser volla.

Adams was a good clown, and many of the specialties were new and interesting. Margaret Mather plays Lenh this evening, and as she established herself last season in the graces of Hartford's theater-goors there is every prospect that she will attract a large audience. This is what the Toronto -Yetcs said of her portrayal of the character: Miss Mather was impetuous, spontaneous, and perfeotlv terrible ia the suMtmity of her denunciation. It was a grind dramatic, picture, and the stillness as of death that held its spell on the bouse was broken hy a thund of apnlanse as the curtain fe I. Nor were they satisfied until the little woman bad thrice been summoned before the curtain.

Collins also desires to revive the old question of the quarrel tut ween his brother and DeLong, which has already Uen sutliciently ventilated. In in. it to bo hoisl that there will no new investigation, as It would settle nothing, for to siipisoso that Engineer Melville could have rest -led the lost party is to nwjina that tliry were prepared at a moment's notice to set out on a most perilous journey and that they knew exactly where to go. It was decided at the time by those most competent to form a judgment that the IleLoug party were nil de-i 1 t.efoix any relief party could have reached thorn, lifter the news of their situation was cjnit'd to liu'iiii by Nindormiu.au 1 Noro. Senator -elect Blackburn of Kentucky is the filKvctl author of a story that tho republican leaders ttecume alarmed at tho delay in passing the electoral commission bill in I'Ybruary, 177, fearing that tho democrats in the house intended to lililuister to defeat the count mi leave- the country on tin -ith of Tiliuvii without an executive.
That a conference as held at which it was det ided to march CpXI sol. tiers to the tiusem*nt oi the capitoi lur-inj; tin uilit the old, ready to inarch into till hoiis: and arrest tho democrats as rt beta iu ciikc they rontiuuej to Hhlustcr, amlHhatthe project was abandoned because of the firmness oi Genera! Ctril-ld. The story sounds very like an invention. I'ostibly General Grant, who was l'resident at the time, may have something to sny aiiout it. The senator-elect told dm story at a dinner party, nss rting it nan tol him in conlldouce by General Garfield.
It i-n't always so easy to fall as th ey think it is. Mr. Mendelssohn, a Milwaukee clothing lealer, Is mourning over the discovery. Mr. Mendelssohn Hold clothes in Milwaukee; but, coming or a thrifty family, he also took up a valuable- farm in Dakota under tho homestead law.
The clothing business reached that condition hero ho thought it time to fail an I so he assigned, lint in Milwaukee one cannot legally usign unless he is a resident of Wisconsin, la Dakota one cannot legally take up land under the homestead act unless be is a resident of Da-kola. Htiiiio of Mr. Mendelssohn's creditors questioned his power to assigu since he lived in Dakota. Thereupon he made affidavit that his residence was in Milwaukee and thereujKin. sad to relate, one of his creditors sent out and "jumped" his claim, taking pxwessiou of the Dakota farm on the ground that the alUdavit showed Mr.
Mtndelssohn had no legal right to It. Ait this is very perplexing to tho gentleman iu the clothing business. SLASDKliElt AS WSl.t AH S.XEAK, Ycstcday we expressed a fear that the Rev. Mr. rn der of St.
I Amis, Unitarian preacher nnd amateur iuterview-er, was a bit of a sucak. There is no longer a doubt of it. How bo otitaitm.i tho interview with Mr. Koscoe C'ohkling which lie wrote uj for tho Kt. Louis Ul ibe.
Uemaefit Mr. Conkllug himself makes clmr in the following telegram to Mr. l'iililzti I Kiiihorlr.e you to say that a person, whose name I iti I w.i-. trouht. ly a uiemOer to my litblHurihu New Voik elut), where 1 was luv lilnner on muhUv, autt lutroilucc-d as eclfrict-mn uli i nl-ht-o lo iu ike my actiiwtini ance.
Some casual talk took place, merely social, wt'houla ti'Oiiht that the rnaii talked to was a reporter, or an tut a clerwnhu wkti a very favorahle opinion tilinslr'. The pru'eii'luJ interview must reiJite to HiU instine and erroucous and BUipl.ilIy untrue iu mmy resiitcts. AVhen the Mr. Snyder was asked on Saturday whether he wished to say anything in reply to this charge of having furnished to a iiewhvtpcr a report of a private conversation without the coiieut of tho other party to it, ho answered: "Oh, I dou't think anything of that. I don't see that any barm has lieen done.
talked freelv to me aud said uothing to the ell vt that the conversation was not ti ls ieieatel." The act was the act of a sneak, aud his defense of it is the defense of sneak. Vet tho Kev. Mr. Snyder had tho consummate impudenco, liefore Mr. ConlJing's telegram arrived in St.
Louis, to publish a card cutilaiuiug tile followiug It any rf mi friemls shall Imsclno for one mo lusMi. itist 1 hive, outgrown niv of That sMotn ot personal tmsreprvs-eutul iou wtiluil irks iiw trade of llio imxlern uioii viewer, I slixll very lh.it I entrusted to your columns my ol a conversation, the spi.lt ot which 1 vuove. fit: hiullv to reproduce, lain quite sure lint Mr. t'onklinir would not Uike exeepiton to a soiilc si.uemeut nuke, nor to my pnbtKMitton ot the Impressions fehich those statements ma le upui Mieuohud nono of ihe ciisf.ouai rt'toryrUtl uiotlv-es for nbrepresentlng tils view's. When he wrote these sentences, the llev.
Mr. Snyder wrote himself down a slanderer as well as a sneak. Cndoubttidly there are reporters, as there are ministers, who disgrace an honorable calling. No walk in life is wholly Ireo from sneaks, slanderers, nnd cleverly or stupidly untruthful persons. But, striking the average, the American newspaper reporter is as careful, as honorable, as conscientious in his n-ork, and a good deal Kioto hard-working, than tho American clergyman.
As the Sun we'll says, the reporter's sjngest motive impels uiiu to tie accurate. Accuracy is mvariably a sufllcieut justification, and if any employer refuse to regard it as such and dismisses the reporter, his dismissal iu such circ*mstances becomes the strongest recommendation to employers who are in a sit! on to advance him." But the great majority of the reporters employed on respectable newspapers are careful and truthful in their reports not merely because it is for their plain iuterest to be so but because they are honest men and gentlemen. Iu this oart of the country the fact that a man is a CnP-ariau minister carries with it the presumption that he Is also an honest man aad a gentleman. .4 FAIR OPhMSO FOR CAPITAL. The remarkable circular ot the so-called ''Ilailway Shareholders' over which San Francisco dispatches have been so excited reeesUy, is certainly a etrange production.
Iu issue is not confined to the Pacific; coast It has been sent to tho railroad companies of New England, too, and one of tho strangest things about it all is that befoie thli managen ot our large roads have not exposed it. If it should turn out that this was because they and fell Into the trap, they would be certainly left in a most entertaining predicament. But we are not ready to be'ieve this until some corroborative evidence is develo ped. We have one of the circulars. It starts with the interesting statement that "to defend railway property in any state requires considerable effort by the executives ot its leading roads; but, while tby have performed efficient work, tnev have not succeeded in preventing the establishment of boards of railrosd commissioners in twenty two state.
How dreadful! The paper does not go" onto picture the damage wrought upou railroad property by railroad eouiiuiisiuuara. Apparently Wat CUERENTCOMMENT. About when may we loos for those appro-pi iation bills, Mr. Ii tho roftH of by ex Speiker Brand the beginning of the end) The Boston Uerohl givc3 out this simple turn iiiVithmetic: "If a democratic house has done nothing worth speaking of iu three months, how much It likely to do in four mouths more:" The following pathetic advertisem*nt appears conspicuously in the editorial columns ot the Washington democratic newspaper: "Wanted, very, very bally, a democratic leader in the house of representatives." Iu bis allocution at the Brooklyn dinner the Rev. Dr.
Julius Seelye had sonethlcg to say about "pirty organizations that no longer mean anything." We re.uember hearing a good deal alwut that in 1S72. The republican party is not perfect certainly. But for a mersly humin orginizitiou, made up of min of varyinsf dsgrees of knowledge and foresight and public spirit, it is "cou-sid'ably better thin they average." Some of tho more exgent and impatient young reformers of New York, Boston and way stations hardly do it justice iu tsoir public ora'ions. O.tr congressmen are a deplorable lot, but there isu a in in eitaer urancn ot our republican congress who isn't setting the human family a bettor example th-tn that set by Karl Otto Bismarck-Sehuenliauseu.

Mr. William H. Ilarnum of Connecticut, will retire from the chairmanship of the democratic national committee ith almost universal con-Fent. It is time for the udoption of different methods from llarmim's iu the management tf a great campaign. Tbere should tie fewer mules and more brains.

Some of the friends of temperane.J who hold meetings regularly in this city on Sunday afternoons have occasionally complained that the newspapers give so little space to accounts of what is said and done at these gatherings. Very often less about the meetings is the tictrer; ami the one that was held last Sunday in Cooper Uuiou furnishes an illustration much to the sint. O'le of the speakers denounced moderate drinking, and then said that the Kev. Dr. Crosby was a man who encouraged it This is the kind of talk that discourages practical men of common sense.
No wonder some of the audience left tho hall when this assertion was mado. -Veto York l'ribunr. An act. of congress should require frequent, detailed and public reports from every railroad company to a government bureau; the repot Is should be made under oath, with severe penalties for the presentation of false or inadequate figures, and congress should prohib.t railroad companies from altering their rates, when these have lieen once tixed, without the examination nnd approval of the proper government authorities Matters ha come to a pass when tho management of railroads con no longer be left to the caprice of individuals who use Ibeirast and sixretly exercised powers to the injury of tho people, to the acquisition of enormous fortunes by themselves at th3 expense of the general public, and to the injury of those ho seek railroad as honest iuvistuieuts of tbe.r savings.

A GOOD LETTER. Th nepubllcau lart'a TOIaatou. So fsr as we have noticed the best outcome of the recant Brooklyn conference of republicans and Independents was the following letter of sympathy aud regret of President White ot Cornell University: PliESltlKST' CORKEI.L tNlVERSlTV, Ithaca, fi. 12 I-S4. UBSTr.EMKS: I tive the honor to receive your very kind nvita'l in to Join you in celebrating Washington's Inritidiy byasccisl iratheriug ot member of the r.pu dieai party.
Your purpose setitns me excellent, and your plan calculated to eiieour)go that exchange of independent thought reicardiiur polhicalqutetions without re-said lo personal considerations, which Is one of the ilu necessities of tills time In tals oountrv. I trust that there may go forth from your meeting su utterance bold and cleir regtrdlog certain creat reforms uhout which -st nuaihers of men in all parts id I he country are ttii -klmr quietly but very eamesMj and, among these, municipal re form and the reform iu tae civU service, both stale and national. Iet it Le insisted that the republican party has not yet accomplished Its mission and ts not prepared to ii her. decay, and Kive place to another which sh 1 take up thes.i an I similar re-lorn and accompli them: lhat the same party li eh has saved and regenerated the nation la the past quniter of a century is determined to do Just a great things in ihe coming quarter of a century: that it has Mie ability to devi reforms for the ivountty earnestly, and the sirenath to right tli-m Ihroumi courageously: that, thouiii tb-opposiog party may waver, fnPer, slekea, and Turn back lovingly to the old HCtcms, and Kt out of high plsce Iu its gift those who by timely reform wou Kive that party a now lease of life, and though some si roiiK who have done ereat service in our own par iu the pjst are etld ntly blind to the future, but you propose to go on in this matter to met the wishes and es of the generation through.

Yon need have no fears as to the result. Tbere a vat fund of quiet, strong, patriotic common use in our peepie which is cnstallizing around these idea1, and on this you may count agaitst ail Ihe pettv temoorary issues which deutioues can raise.

Kvery party wtilch has achieved success in the history of the United M-ttes has done so bv givtng voice and effect to some rood aspiration of the country.
And the real, deep aspiration of this eonntry at this time is ct tat ibis or that man shall hold this or that ntBea, luat BOyernilent jn ai hrsiicht shall be made more and inore worthy of the pnucieles upon which it is founded. 1 his siu'e has given one lesson to ihe country on this subject, and it will yet give more. The interests of thts nation aud of i ha republican ptrty concur tn two part of one policy: first, Ut siioiu-l te the demand for reform, to make it coherent, and to shsrw it: secondly, to show not by platforms but by works, by holding firmlv to reforms already be un, and by pressing forward to new reforms, that th republican party can better than anv other meet this demand. If any of our old aod honored leaders have looked so lomt Into the old time lhat they cannot see thrir w-y to the work required by the new lin-e, let them retire from the leadership and God bless tnem: but le; the men in active life who do see the necessities of the future s'and fast by the work already begun, develop It, and press on hi all pans of the country, confident of victory. It (s with sincere reg'et that I am unable to be with you on account of duties elsewhere, I remain ery respectfully and truly vonrs.
