PUBLIC SKNTIMBNT IN GREAT BRIT AIN AND IRELAND A» Hrllrctr«l Through the Press—Vnrloaa Views of (ilsdstone's Home Rale— The Premier’s Great Hpeeclitho All - Absorbing Tojrlc. Low DOS, April 9.—Tho newspapers throughout Great Britain and Ireland com ment at great length on Gladstone’s aohemc tor Irish government. The London Times sayB, in. substance: "The measure proposes to place Ireland in a position, not like that of the American Union, but liko that ot Canada—a self- governing province. Separation is com plete and absolute in principle. Tho re strictions which it is professed secure the supremacy of the imperial Parliament must in practice be worthless, sinoe there is no efficient sanction behind them. This is the cardinal point to which pnblio opinion moat be immediately directed: Is the nation prepared to give belaud independent polit ical existence? We cannot suppose that there is any room for donbt on that point. It would be grossly unfair to assnme that the Ilonse will consent to the second read ing of the measure, which cannot poesibly survive the debates in committee.” nonne. s his apology for leaving Gladstone’s I cabinet the most damaging political act of his life. The Dublin Express says tbat the real reason way Chamberlin resigned was that Gladstone was unwilling to advance in the direction of the revolution Chamberlin wished him to. The latter gentleman’s de clared preference for federation, the Express contends, is due to his radicalism and his fear of losing the support of tho Parneliites during his contemplated assanlt on the British landed aristocracy and on the throne. Tho Orangemen of Armagh made a pnb lio demonstration to-day against Gladstone's Irish proposals. They adopted revolutions severely denouncing the Premier and de claring their allegiance to the Empire. Pams, Aptil 10.—In the Chamber of Dep uties to-day n mdieal motion censuring tlio S ivemment fur tho arrest of Roche and ngutry at Decazeville in connection with the riots was discussed.

Lrrrut Bock., Abx., April 9.—Between midnight and 1 o'clock this morning Depnty Sheriff Williams, who has bail charge of a force of deputies guarding the St. Louis and Iron Mountain roundhouse and moohine shops at Argenta, opposite thia oity, was approached by F. H. Darby, a leading Knight ot Labor, and notified to take his force away or they would be put out. Wil liams said: "I'll take you in now,” and, taking Darby, locked him up in one of the rooms. Just then the outlines of twenty or thirty men wore seen a short distance away, and Williams ordered them out, saying that be was there to gnard property and would do it if he fell in hla tracks. Some one from the crowd replied, 'Well, then, die,” nnd an irreguiur simul ants began. Probably one hundred shi were fired. Williams was dangerous! led by s bulletin tho riglt side an I tiro otWf lesser'wounds In other portions of the body. Tho mob t oou after fled. It is reported that several wero wounded, but if so they were token aw ty by their oomrodes. Sheriff Worthen wss telegraphed and hur riedly collected a posse and went over to Argenta. Near the south end of the Iron Mountain Railroad bridge three men were halted and arrested. One, Charles Stepp, had a double-barreled gun; another, Cook, a ticket agent, was intoxicated and abusive, and wss locked np in tbo bridge tickot office.

The Liverpool Post says Ihst whether I PATRICK EGAN’S OPINION Washington, April II.—Chairman Mor rison and Mr. Hewitt of the committee on wayH and means have completed the report of the minority of the committee to accom pany the tariff bill, which will be reported to tbo House to-morrow. The report says: "The rate of duty or tax on imported goods subject to duty is low os 5 on some and higher than 2U0 per cent, on others. The average rate for fiscal year 1885 a little exceeded 47 per cent., or t47 tax on tlUO worth ot imported goods. This is the highest rate, paid in any year since 18(18 and aliove tbe average rate of th* war period from 18(19 to 18HH. "The expenditures tor the fiscal year 1885, including pensions and legal require ments of the public debt, were $305,830,- 970. Neither "the actual needs of un economical administration of the govern ment” nor the patriotic expectations of tbe people justify any increase of thia enormous annual expenditure, and we may safely es timate the annual surplus to exceed $30,- 000,000. “The reductions to result from the pro posed bill are within this estimated surplus and little exceed $31,000,000 on the basis of lost year's importations. “It is the purpose of the bill reported to correct sornu of the classifications, rid the custom laws of complications, and so change these laws tor the better that they will tie caprhle of being administered with impar tiality to nil onr merchants. Thednties in tended to bo removed by tbe bill are ohiefly those which tax articles used by onr own manufacturers, which now subject them to hopeless competition nt home nnd abroad with manufacturing nations, none of wbiob taxes such materials, tbat our awn manu facturers may successfully compete both at home and abroad with maLufuotaring na tions which do not tax such materials, thus securing markets tor tho products of lands now idle for the wnut of work to do. Some of the materials tipun which great industries aro built -such us wood, H .lt, hemp uud wool—are placed on the free list. The report gives at considerable length the reasons of the majority tor making the above named articles free, and says: "In some ot tbe schedules wherein the rates ore proposed to be reduced—especially wooden and tlax hemp, jute or UnenH—the industries are left with substantially tne same, if not greater, advantages than uuder existing luws. Other articles the rates on which are so to lie reduced-as cotton yarns, thread and coaranr cotton clothe aud sugar —are now dutiable • at unnecessarily and unreasonably high 'rates.

All articles other than luxuries not produced in tho United States, except in cose of great national necessity, should be admitted duty free. "Tbe bill recognizes no just principle, prooeeds upon no system of equitable re vision or reduction of the tariff. It singles oat a groan of interests because believed to be the weakest, yet (some of them) the most deserving and the least able to bear this unreasonable discrimination, nnd strikes them down.

"Tbo industrial classes of the country know from sad experionee that cheap goods, so called, means cheap labor, and that things nro dearest when they are without means to buy them. The peoplo are tired of congressional interference with tho busi ness of the country, tired of legislative nag ging, and the laborers are restless under tbo constant threat to reduce duties, which thoy realize means to them reduced wages ana diminished comforts. In oar opinion this is a most unfortunate time to disturb the tariff.” In concluding, tho minority suggests a material redaction of the internal revenue taxes. bis bill through Parliament, ho has forever Omaha yesterday, and on beiDg asked what killed oppression anil coercion in Ireland. h e thought about Gladstone’s bill, said: "I The Manchester Guardian says: "It is a think it wiu bc , good thing for scheme substantially for the repeal of the trslond If it Is pttesed, with cer- legislative union lietween Great Britain and tttin moilificMlons. f am Inclined to Ireland.
