A company might ba formed la the interest of the people, who eoald be invited to advance the capital in sums great aad ■mail, to ba repaid in feel. It U not absolutely asfsmary that the work should bo daao by a corporation wholly tor the benefit of private capital, li the gas is permanent, or comparatively so, the business of supplylag it will be a great one aad the interests ot the people should be protected or enhanced at the outset.

Wk have tbe end of tha parliamentary case between the Irish nationalists and the London Timas. The motion of Mr. Gladstone to investigate the charge ef the Times that Mr. Dillon had lied, was defeated, as expected. The vote was an unusually full one, 317 to 233, ahowiag that both parties had rallied their forces es with ail the energy the “whips” could put to the work. Tbe mult was a majority reduced from 104 to 84. Some half a dosen unionists left the ministry altogether, and a number absented themselves from the final vote because they eould not follow the line ot action the ministry proposed. The press of tbe country seems to be generally at the opinion that the course of the government has strengthened the Irish party, and the chief organ of tbe conservatives, the Standard—an abler paper in its editorial writing than the Times—has let ita enmity to its rival impel it to fust action against its own party leaden, and it lectures them in a fashion they must “despise.” It ia said they have tried to muule it and to cajole tbe editor, but the Standard is a paying property and independent of its party. So the editor is to be neither muscled or wheedled, and the attacks of the paper hurt too badly to be soothed by any plaster df the Times’s application. When the forgery ot the Parnell letter ia demonstrated, and the Irish say they are able show it, the rosult will be a victory that may put an end to the

ministry. ____________

Next week the Baltimore Sun will observe its fiftieth anniversary, and what ia most remarkable the man who founded it will be there to see. His name is A. S. Abell, and ha still owns the paper he began under most discouraging oircumstanoes. He has followed tbe same line of policy from the start, vir. to make a journal that is thoroughly truetworthy and conservative while wideawake to all matters ot news, and a more conspicuous success never was made. Long ago the Sou became the great paper of Baltimore and Maryland, and it ranks among the first of tbe coontry in profit. It has always been printed in fine type, has clung to tha folio form, and is almost the only prominent daily that refuses to print a Sunday issue. For these reasons it has been sneered at, but no one can read it long without being impressed by tbe singular skill shown in its management, tbe high character of ita writing and the aincerity and conscientionsneas shown in its reports. It is never sensational and it ia never dull, and it maintains a respect for individual rights and public moralsLhst is worthy of general imitation. Nor has this been gained by becoming “slow.” It is alive in every particular, and enterprising to a marked degree. Some of ita successes ingathering news have been phenomenal. If any man can point with prioa to hie life’s work, the influence of which ia inestimable, surely it is Mr. A. S.

Abell. Baltimore ought to honor him.

OUK dudes an not the only silly imitators of English fashions and fancies. Our turfman and gamblers must name one of their chief racing days on some of our courses tha “Derby Day.” The name Is significant oa Epsom downs, for the Earl of Derby founded the now famous contest that occasions thaaday, but it has ao meaning here, except by bare imitation. Th* school board discovered last night that there was no lack of accommodation for pupils. We had the aame opinion some months since, but were earnestly assured by eeyaral members that it was a great mistake. It arms necessary, they said, to build more booses, aad therefore taxation must be idcreased and debt permitted. If we mistake not, tha majority of tha board ate on record to that effect. We shall take pleasure in looking that matter up. In the meantime tha boot seems to have got on the other leg. People who doable the pri0M of their property oa reports of gas at Broad Bipple will find they have thrown themselves away without aoffioieat cause. Gas will be a great benefit to this eity and a strong inoentive to growth, but the most unlimited supply would not justify doubling present prices. After gas ia secured it baa to be utilised, and when it comes to adding manufactories, time is required. Jumping land values is not a good army to get manufactories, either. Some lead-owners along tha Belt seem to think that the whole line will be covered with footoriee within a few weeks. One of them is asking $1,000 an acre for ground which he would have been more than glad to sell for $160 six weeks ago. This sky-scraping style wtll bite itself to deathlike a mad sattla■aake. .

An intelligent Plate ohief ia reported as saying that his tribe, instead of diminishing, is increasing. He thinks the census of ’80 should have shown 8,000 instead of less than half that number, and that since then there has been a growth of 1,000 or 1,500. There is nothing improbable in the supposition that peaceful tribes, in settled habitations, with some approach to orderly and methodical lives, will increase like other settled and peaceful communities, white or red or black. Some years ago, it will be remembered, Major Garrick Mallory, onoe a resident and school boy of this city, but now of Minnesota and connected with the Indian affairs, made an elaborate report, backed by figures, to show that the aboriginal races were increasing in numbers, and that the popular notion of their dying out like the buffalo was n great mistake. The fact is that, as the whites penetrate and permeate the oonntry, the Indians find themselves less able to make hostile head against their power, and adjoining tribes are forced further apart, and separated by more inseparable barriers, and, thus forced to a more peaceful line of life, they lose little strength by the disasters of war, and become less liable to the attacks of sweeping contagions diseases. These are recuperative agencies, and which would naturally show their effect in a few years ia the arrest of tribal decay and some addition of strength. It is very certain that the long-settled and semi-clvilized tribes in tbe Indian Territory are in no decline, bnt growing, rather, nod likely to Inst out the present condition of the planet with their white neighbors. The Ruling Idea. The oonntry, or this part of it at least, is passing through a condition so unusual as to be phenomenal. Nothing like It has been known since the Monroe “era of good feeling,” whea old parties had run out on the lines they had so long followed, and ware resting while . opinion*, principles, prejudices, were tending off to new lines in new association*. But that condition of political qnietndo was the effect of political exhaustion. Now we have the same eonditton growing oat of political indifference, or rather indifference to political or party interests. When before in Indiana haa political contention end attention been ao completely absorbed ia bosiaem sphemes and interests? There was never betore each a domination of “boom” over “boodle” of speculation over the chances of peculation, of real estate titles over official titles in our memory, not oven In 1873, and in thia city where the lot and land favor broke out In n “Beal Estate Exchange,” aad to daily lists ot transfers that fall little below thane of Chicago, and far a tiara hardly below thoao of to-day. There wa* no yielding of political and party interests to business and money as there ia to-day. Wf hart a litter of local politics now, to bo aura, bat it ia mostly tha echoes of tha last election’s abases. Wo hoar nothing aad oars bathing for the tariff and revenue, aad taming oat and putting in office m we did a few weeks ago when wo hoard nothing Wo any, like the queer old gentleman Nickleby,” “nil fa gas.” Politics an nowheto. As John Phoenix’s “Jon Brawn” said, when asked what hia ISlia have aa peittfaa, nary a politic.” W* have got nothing but gas and we hops far nothing but gas. Wa ■otiLJa pointaf &ekbatvakora

got tha hops of it ao strong that it fa olmostl the apostle’s “evidence of things not seen.” Tbe polities swarm at Washington. The people them seam to think that tha oaontry Is feat aa aaoek interested aa they are ia party apeeniatiens about Cleveland’s second term and Hill’s opposition aad Blaine's chances against Sherman, when the oonntiy does not give them a minute’s thought to a month’s oa gaa. It rather wonders at the interest and earnestness of these party peddlers and drummers who insist on putting off their stale goods oa it, whea it wants gaa. Their moatbiag and posturing seem to ns out this way as idle aad aimless as the clown’s questions in a pantomime did to Hook’a country boy who wondered, “What ia the fool doing all that for?” Gaa ia the substantial interest of this planet, or this part of it, just now. Invisible, “insubstantial,” almost immaterial aa it ia, it is about the eolideet thing in business ia Indiana. Tha heaviest coal is thinner than hydrogen weighed against the cash force and boom ot gas. It ia aa solid as whole blacks of four-story machine shops and miles of furnaces. Bollder than iron, solider than anything that comes out of tha ground now. It ia as solid aa the “eternal hills,” even if it doesn’t last as long. The infinite noodle who hereafter exclaim*, “Goal” in contemptnous condemnation of what he thinks worthless, will be kicked out of its community as a blasphemer of its greatest blessing. Gas is tha synonym of power and glory, and, oddly enongh, of “a pocket full ot rocks.” Gossip About BaU-Pluyers. [Chicago NewaJ Base-ball players, aa a rule, don’t amount to very moon when they get ott the diamond. It does not require much edueation of tbe brain to play a good game ot ball, and a farmer's boy who has trained with tbe village nine is just as apt to be a good player as a college graduate. Thera are a few welleducated men in the business, but they are indeed extremely few. Johnny Ward, of the New Yorks, is one of them. He is going to be a lawyer, and he is ao much of an intellaotual dude that he haa written n very modest, manly and readable history of bia professional career for an eastern magazine. The rest are inst big, strong fellows, hard-handed and well-muscled. They earn large salaries while they are it; but easy come, easy go. is the rule for them; and whereas beer was good enongh for them before they sta-ted to wear flannel breeches, after they begin to draw princely salaries they acquire princely tastes, and extract inspiration during tbe winter months from extra dry and other luxuries. They get more money than half the good lawyers, doctors and clergymen ia -he city, and as much as almost any college professor. That is what Von der Ahe often says: “You vellows,” he told a kicker who wanted $3,000 a vear, “yon vellows mage me dired. You don l d know noding ant you are no goot except dot you hat tat legs uud big hauls. You alretty gad more as any pizness man, und yon want more as dot, eh? You don’d get it. I can a brofessor of Greek hire tor tree tousand.” Whea they quit playing they usually go broke. Spalding, Barnes, and a few others are notable exceptions to this rule. Intemperance Is Labor's Great Foe. [New York 8un.J in the fields of industry, says Bev. T. J. Conaty in the Catholic World, capital and labor are often in disagreement; but the merciless, ceaseless enemy of labor ia intemperance. At times oapit&l and labor agree, -and the contest between them oeases or is mollified But between labor and intemperance there can never be any truce, and intemperance will cease to inflict damage only when it has been overcome and not compromised with. Temperance will untie more knots in the labor problem than all the legislatures in the country can pass. t Father Con sty’s views are sound and timely. For General Use Now. [Lincoln (Ksn.) Republican.) Mary had a little lot, and thonght she’d better sell; she placed it on tbe market, and the way that lot did—well, it sold four time* within a week, and every time it went the lucky man who bought ft cleared 99 percent. “What makes town lots go flying so?” the eager buyers cry. “Oh, Lincoln’s on a boom you know,” the agents do reply. And so the owners mark them up, yet buyers do not squeal, but ran impatiently about for tear they’ll lose a deal. Another Senatorial Mansion. Senator Palmer's Washington houM cost him $85,000, and he saye the servants have tbe beat rooms in it. Their rooms are on tbe fourth story, looking out on McPherson square.

A marvelous loom is the hnmaa heart As It weaves and weaves through dreary Aayw It takes the branch of a withered tree And tbe pallid gray of the shimmering rain.

A marvelous loom Is the human heart , As it weaves and weaves, though under tha mold: For out of tha moisture and out of the earth, And out of the seed-germs nettling near. It weaves in spite of Its own life-dearth, A web of meaning above its bier: And the light-wlneed soul to a far dawu flies While the heart speaks on to unseeing eyes— To die u yet to live.

Black surah fa tha proper silk for half mourning frooka. Cream lace* trim poppy red ladia or China silks very tastefully. Large quantities of striped India silks are seen on aflk counters. Spangles enrich most of the fancy work done with the asedle. A gray silk makes np better without combination with either black or white. Black and white checked silks aad blaek and white striped ones are in favor again. Full bishop sleevas aad Gigot (lag of matton) sleeves are seen on many now gowns. For home wear we have tea gowns, morning gowns, chamber robes and lounging gowns. Drab and mauve are found to bo a good oombination in a dress street toilet or for carriage wear. Satias art going out of favor, and therefore are very cheap, but they make lovely under dresses tor lace frocks. Broad bands ot white switching on black kid gloves are de rigoer with white and black toilets of high ceremony. The coat sleeve is modified. It fa made looser above tbe elbow, and opens at the inner, not the outer seam at the wrist. Pale rose aud pearl gray are admirably combined in dressy toilets de visite and home frocks of silk and wool mixtures. The burnouse shawl drapery and the | ibot folds are the favorite arrangement for the book of the skirtc of spring dresses. The doable V waist for ehildrea does treble duty as a comfortable garment, and a Mocking, skirt, and drawers supporter oil ^combined. White or cream pearl picot or featheredged ribbon is the inside pleating preferred for the sleeves and collars of dressy frocks this spring. Harper’s Bazar concedes the fact that silks have again oome into the favor they enjoyed before wool fabrics rivalled them aa visiting and house frocks. Greens, grays, Gobelin blue, heliotrope and old rose, and dull yellow shades are most frequently the colors reposted in the polychrome (variegated) silks of this season. The popular long apron draperies are those pleated into the belt or waist line and falling in long folds in front of tbe side panels, thereby increasing the slenderness of the figure. Lounging and aiumber gowns are made in full, loose Mother Hubbard skirt style, shirred on to a deep yoke, and have large, loose bishop sleeves and a deep falling collar set on a high band made to fit loose around the neck. ■ te ■ A Lucky Find.

tm advice to consumers of Ivory Soap is, buy ft dozen calces at V_/a time, take off the wrappers, and stand each cake on end in a dry place; for, unlike many other soaps, the Ivory improves by age. Test this and you will find the twelve cakes will last as long as thirteen cakes bought singly. This advice may appear to you as being given against our own interests j on the contrary, our interest and desire is, that the patrons of Ivory Soap shall find it the most desirable and economical soap they can use.
