The Iilbornl Meeting.
The great liberal moctini ? nt Londot
yesterday which was called by Mr. Glnd
stone to adjust the party differences no
complfohcd the object for which it wai
convened. A largo portion of tho. mnl
contents hnvo swung back into line , :

action was mapped out and sulliclcn

representation isto be , Mr. ( ilndstono did
not indicate , but he yielded the point al
issue , and by so doing knocked the pro [
from under the apparition. The pro
posed exclusion of the Irish member.
from the imperial parliament has beet ;
the principal argument used to shov.
that Mr. ( iladstouo's homo rule blllmeanl
complete separation of Ireland fron :
Kngland. The clause was introduced , and
was .supported by the Irish members on
the ground that to till the Dublin parliament
mont alone would make heavy drafts on
the available political material in Ireland ,
while as all Irish mattersof moment wen :
taken out of the hands of the imperial
parliament there w.as really no reason
why Ireland should demand rcpresenta
tion at Westminster. English scntinuMit ,
which two yunfit ago denounced the pre-S'
enco of Irish members as a purse , now
pronounces their proposed absence us si
disaster , and at' Parncll's suggestion and
the urgent advice of his friends Mr.
Gladstone ewnscnUi to yield the point
Hy so doing ho breaks the neck of the
opposition at a fcingle blow nnd
unites in .support of his measure : i
working majority of the liberal party ,
The progamme agreed upon passes the
bill to u Hccond reading ns soon as prnc
licable , and refers it at once to n
committee , not lobe taken up again until
after the summer recess. At the opeii'
ing of parliament in the autumn , Mr ,
Gladstone proposes to bring in a home
rule bill amended in : i manner which will
meet the wishes of his party. This is
shrewd political work. A great lesson
is to be taught , ami it takes time to inv
press it upon the minds of England.
From the outset the premier has boon
fighting for a delay which would afford
the fullest discussion of the home rule
principle. Time and again , since
the introduction of his measure ,
the government has seemeel on
the point of overthrow. The Kaster re
cess gave a breathing spell. Then threats
of a dissolution of parliament were used
to check the ardor of the malcontent
members who winced at the prospect of
heavy election expanses in the near fu
ture. Finally , the master stroke came.
Liberalism will now bo placed on record
as endorsing homo rule and pledging
itself to support a bill which docs impair
thermion. Three months will bo given
to allow religious intolerance , political
bigotry and partisan huto to cool
off. Parliament will confer with the
constituencies and the voice of liberal
England now so largely , thr.nks to Glad
stone , the voice of English workiuumen ,
will bo heard forcing their representa
tives at Westminster to follow the leael ol
the ono statesman whoso commanding
personal inllucnco has brought Ireland
within sight of the goal of her hopes and
the aspirations ot her long years of strug
gle for political independence.
Touching Out Useless ,
The frantic appeals of the patronage
peddlers to democrats to trust the prcsi
dent are Inexpressibly touching. Con
gress has exhibited its abiding trust in
Mr. Cleveland by refusing so far to carry
into effect a , single ono of his executive
recommendations. Democratic leaders
arc showing their faith by damning his
policy with a fervor born of sincere con
viction. Ollico-seokcrs who have worn
down the pavements of Washington with
unavailing tramps from the white house
to the dopnrtmcnt join in the chorus
of denunciation , while local politicians
in every doubtful state add to the
clamor by shouting anathemas against
the man who , as they claim , has dis
rupted the party and postponed the ex
pected political millonlum. The mug
wump brigade who contributed so
lanroly to Mr. Cleveland's election nro
in scarcely better humor than the rock-
rooted bourbons. The promised ship of
civil service reform nnd perpetual ofltco
holding has uot yet hove insight , and the
president's promises tire contrasted with
Ids performance greatly to his political
disadvantage. As for the republican
party it has seen no moru reason for
trusting the president than it did for
tmsting the Candida to.
The two classes who are trusting Mr.
Cleveland most strongly nrj tbo olllco
holders ho has appointed and those who
have good assurances that they will
shortly be provided for nt the govern
ment's expense. They will continue to
trust him until they meet with linnl "dis
appointment. . When that time comes
they will join the ranks of the disaf
fected.
No president since the last days of An-

The United States court of claims has
at lust handed down its decision upon the
French spoliation claims. By its unani
mous judgment those claims constitute
a just debt upon the government and
must bo paid. This a controversy which
has been in progress for more than eighty
years. The history of the ilitHctilty is u
curious ono. In accordance with the
treaty of 177U between France and the
United States , Franco stipulated to assist
this country to achiero its Independence ,
and the tatter agreed to defend the French
possession * in the West Indies. How
well Franco re-deemed its pledge
Is written in Hie history of the
Revolution , After the establishment of
American Imiopnndunco misunderstand ,
lugs arose between the two countries ,
nnd the privatoeru of Frances committee !
numerous depredations on the commerce
nf thu United States. ' Out of tioae | arose
the French spoliation claims. Franco
never disputed tlai justice of thesj claims ,
bnt undertook to RCt them off wit
counter-claims growing out of the treat
of 1778. After con.siderablo ncgotiatioi
n treaty was ratified hi 1801 by which th
two govummuntsdroppcd their rcspectiv
claims , and they ceased forever to bo sul :
jccts.of international controversy. Thro
years later , Nipolcon , fearing the con
quest of Louisana by the English , nc
gottatcd the sale of that territory will
Je'flersem for $10,000,000 , deductini
$2,000,000 , for debts due to citizen ? of th
United States by Franco that had bcci
contracted since 1801.
With the treaty of 1601 the ckim fo
Ficnch spoliation became n domcsti
one. This government , lit lelcasinj
France from a just debt , assumed the ol
lication of paying the claimants. But tli
sufferers from French deprcdations.mau ;
of whom wore ruined , knocked in vali
nt thu doors of congress. In the eotirs
of the last eighty years committees of tin
senate and house have made more thai
forty reports in favor of paying th <
claims. Leading statcsnieMi , includinj
Daniel Webster , John M. Clayton , Calel
dishing and Charles Sunnier , hnvi
earnestly advocated payment , ant
twice bills for the purpo < e wen
passed , but they were vetoed by Pros !
ilent.s Polk and Piurcc. Finally , in tin
lust coiigre'gH a resolution was passed pro
vieling for n refere'iiee of the whole ! sub
je-e-t It ) the court of claims , with instrur
lions to the court to decide whether tbi
de'bt ' is justly duo.
Since1 tlii'so allegations wore inenrrei
the- government has dispensed from tin
iroaxury many millions of money in payment
mont of claims growing out of forelgi
and domestic war. It is almost incrcdi
bio that the first and oldest of thusi
claims .should now await settlement ant
payment , long after every original claim
ant has disappeared , anil after nearly !
century has wandctl its course.
A Con tor Shot.
Examiner Wiluor's nllidavit is !
center -shot at the Bell monopoly
WilbiT admits that by his own corrup
action Elisha Gray was deprived of tin
opportunity to establish his right as in
voiitor of tliu telephone. ( Jray's cawa
was a secret , confidential documcn
under the law , but the examiner violatet
the law 1)3 * communicating its contents t <
Boll nnd his attorneys. Wilbor relate ;
what iiitluenccs were brought to bra :
upon him. He tells of loans of monej
and presents that were made to him whili
the telephone claims of Bel
and Gray were pemliug , Hi
confesses that muter these cor
nipt inllticnctis ho decided withou
proof that Bell's was the earliest claim
and Urns swindled Gray out of his right
to priority. Of course Bell indignantly
donius the charges , but there are said t <
bo strong corroborating proof in the
sliapo of official records which show thai
Gray's caveat was filed earlier than Boll's
and that its contents were revealed to tlu
present holder of thu invention.
Tlio public have been under the impression
prossion for months that when the trut
inwardness of the telephone businosi
should bo probed to the bottom the Bel
patent would bo founei to bo resting ot
fraud and corrupt collusion will
government officials. Wilber's con
fcssion only strengthens tin
belief. In an allidnvit in the Dowd cast
in 1879 Bell testified that Wilbur , while
declining to show him Gray's caveat
"indicated the particular elnnse in wliicl
it conflicted witli mine. " This much o
collusion is on record in the testimony ol
Boll himself. Now Wilber makes a cleat :
breast and shows the whole foundatioi
of Hell's patents to be honeycombed with
fraud in the ollieu of the government e\ '
p'ressly designed to protect the work ol
inventors. It can now be readily seen
why the great telephone monopoly
fought so persistently the bringing oi
suit by the government to annul the Bell
patents. .They knew that their most vul
nerable point was not the alleged eoullicl
of patents with those of other inventors ,
on an issue which could be tried in un.y
United Slates court , but the question
whether the government had not contrib
uted to a grave injustice ! done to one ol
its citizens , a question which a mill
brought by the government itself could
only settle.

Why Van AVyck Is Ci-icil Down.
Chicago Herald.
Human nature does no change much
from generation to generation , nnd it is
about the same the world over. Nebraska
is an agricultural state , interested in sell
ing its products at as high a price as
peis.siblc and in securing .such supplies as
it cannot raise or make in the cheapest
market. The farmer who inusl plant and
sow that he may garner and reap , to
whom taxation means deprivation and
who , sooner or later , gels the heavy cnel
of all jobs that rest weightily on tlio pro
ducer , is the man of ulfolhcrs whom one
would suppose would hold up the hands
of : i public ollieial who sought to servo
himbill ho has not troubled himself ( o dose
so in Nebraska. On the * contary , Mr.
Van Wyck , the _ ono northerner in the
senate who is almost invariably
found in opposition to jobs , who
is acalous advocate of tlie
policy of forfeiting unearned land
grants to railroads , who usually fights
subsidies , and who , in n homely way ,
makes a great deal of trouble for tlio
monopolistic schemes which thrives so
prodigiously in the body of which he is a
member , is attacked more mercilessly at
homo than ho is in Wall street. Old
Crazy Horse" is the disrespectful epithet
tipphcel to him , and the principal organs
of his own party are impatiently await
ing tlie day when he can be shelved as
an ignoramus and an incompetent. A
willing acquiescence in Hie plans of men
wlio o interests are hostile to tliosu of the
people of Nebraska , a Mibstirvicnt or cor
rupt useof hi.s power to increase the tax
ation imposed upon his constituents or
nn cnsy-goinc fondness for flapdoodle ,
with a vote given conveniently now and
then under cover of a spread eagle speccli
to some monopoly , would have won him
' 'reatcr distinction at homo and abroad
lliau the course which he has pursued has
done.
More than ono hundred years ago
Adam Smith wrote of the situation in
Ijrunt Britain : "The member of parlia
ment who supports every proposal for
strengthening monopoly is sure to acquire
i reat distinction for understanding
Lrado , nnd also great popularity and
inlluenco with an order of men whose
numbers and wealth render them of great
importance. If ho opposes them , on the
Dontrary , and still more , if he have
authority enough to be able to thwart
Lhem , neither the most acknowledged
probity nor the highest rank , nor the
greatest public services can protect him
from the most infamous abuse and
detraction , from personal insults , nor
iomctimc.s from real danger arising from
thu i nil nonet ) of furious and disap
pointed monopolists. " There has been no
change in this respect in the century that
