Mr. Justin McCarthy, writing in iKo nntitttmnorarv Review, says : "If I were to judge by the present ten dency of events and ;influencep, . should be inclined to eay that, as Walepole transferred the power of the Sovereign and the Peers to the House of Commons, so the tendency of to-day is to hand . "over the power to the platform ana tne press, and to make i the House of Common od!v!& court of registration for the decisions of the public but of doors. jTow I confess that' this1' would seem tome it veryH'Oiidrslrable result to arrive at. I should like the House of Commons to stand at the front of the national movem.cn' to lead, and not to be driven to guide- accord ing t i its own. light'', and not to be comntlkd to go on and show the way, as a peasant sometimes is in an invaded ccuntrj;'with his hands fas teac d to the 8tirrupleatber of some hostile commander. It seems clear to me that, after a!l the reforms, all .1 I M. - me extensions or me - suarage we have had extensions in later years sanctioned just as well by Uonserva tives as by -Tjibera's alter all the redistribution of seats and recon structions . of coustittlehcies after all the many and heroic efforts to make the House of Commons truly and fully representative, the House of Commons still remairs sadly lacking iu any manner of im itative force. I do not know of any lustauce. m our modern times in which the House of Com mons ha-3 anticipated in any measure the wants and wishes of the people in general. I know many men in the thick of politics who insist that this is exactly ad it should be. The business of the House of Common?, they contend, is to follow and not to lead l ublic opinion. Until the ri:en who speak ou the platform and the nieii who write in the preis have demanded 'urgency,' as the. phrase gois iu foreign parliament, for some part'cular measure, the House of Commons ought to hae nothing to uo with the matter. I nave heard it argued it at the House" tf Com mous ought to be like a judge 1.1 one of the law court?. The iud'ee mav have leai ut something ot a private grievance going ou, but uulii a for mal motion is made m his court bv some interested and authorized party to a suit, the judge has nothing to do with it. 1 caunot take this idea of the business, the functions and the duty of the House of Commons. As it is chosen to represent. so ac cording to my view it ia chosen to think, and chosen to lead. Just now, it appears to me, that we have come to another ciisis. The Sover eign, as a disturbing power, has been eliminated. The House of Lords basbien, as Mr. Bright eaid long ago, not abolished, but shunted. I sincerely hope that no future his torian of the English Parliament may have to describe a condition of things under which the House of Commons, abdicated its position, as leader of the nation, and simply con fined itself to the task of potting into law what greater and rsore ob -servant and more active minds out side Parliament had declared to be proper subjects for legislation. I am much mistaken if there is not a dan ger that something like this should come to pass; and I sm earnest in tne nope that it may not c me to pass." A Dem :crat Appointed- ' The appointment of 1 Ijjj H 1 wall Edmunds Jackson, of Tennessee, to the place on the Supr?me Court made vacant by the death of-the lamented L'amar was an agreeable surprise to ns and will give great atisfactiou to the South. Judg Jackson is ro-w a Judge on Circuit Court of the United States, asd is a States Rights Democrat. borne days ago the Iiepnblicans about Knoxnlie circulated petitions among the Democrats tor his ap pointment, and both parties there urged the appointment.

In the passage of the anti-Optioj bill the Senate has given its sancs tion to one of the most absurd of all the many vicious excesses of legislation that have recently found favor with Conjres?, The redeem ing feature in this bill is that it will harass business enough to do some mischief. It wiil be observed that most of tbo lawyers in the Senate opposscd it on constitution al grounds, but the Populists and their sort were enough to give it a majority. . A man named. Line, who had a business quarrel with Senator Car lisle some years aso, is threatening now to make public some scanda loos matter connected with a suit in which the Senator once figured in Cincinnati. That little lapse was condoned long ago, Mr. Car lisle has risen to eminence and be has redeemed himself nobly, The man who malevolently rakes up his past will receive no conn -tenance from the American peo p. Senator bherman ana bis aseo- ciaes who profess their anxiety to have ffie purchases of silver stopped but will not sa much as make a motion toward a repeal of the act of 1899, will have a ' greater moral rspons;bility for the evil that may follow their inaction than even uch men as Senators Stewart 'and Teller, whose devotion to the min ing interests, at the expense of their patriotism, is open and avowed. Mr. Sherman could pass the repealing bill in the' Senate if he were in earnest, But the nar row partisanship that has cons ttantly belittled his otherwise great career once more halts him on the the threshold of his duty.

The lazy angler with rod in hand, following the tortuous winding of sylvan brcok, has sometimes paused to watch the struggles of a caterpillar, which has. fallen from a tree above, into the water below. At first it looks like death. The current is toft strong for the feeble efforts of the worm and gradually and surely he loses ground and is carried further and further from land. The yellow creatnre seems to have lost hope snd let itself to the tide. The tender-hearted fish erman is about to drop his rod over to the drowning being that he may crawl out on it as upon a bridge. Then there is a change in the for tunes cf the caterpillar. The tide which has carried him from land, has met and mingled With another that runs counter. He is swerved by it from his outward "course and borne closer and cloeerto the bank. At last he is carried so near that he can seTze a blade of grass. He clambers np and is saved. The fisherman pauses in his conrse and meditate?.

It is even strongly intimated that those who resist the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law will when the 4th of March has come be expected to -stand aside and yield in the distribution of patron age to those Democrats who advo cate the repoal.

You go on abusing her until jou almost work yourself into a passion about her, although it is not your business in the slightest. Then it happens some day that objectionable beau ceases his visits to the girl. ' It was the undercurrent. As soon as it set in, "Mr. Lothario" went bounc ing over the fence and far away. Yon don a sickly smile, becaute your gloomy prophecies were net fulfilled. You are sorry that the girl was not borne out ; to sea and death by the surface current. A man goes to bed angry with his friend so angry, that slight provocation uiight produce bloods shed.

Be fore morning he is not angry with his friend, but himself. He touches safely on the shore of peace, and grasps the hand extended to him by his brother, who has also came to shore by the s.ime current. But for that hidden stream there would be murder in churches as well as in barrooms. This deeper nature for that is what the undercurrent is is sel dom shown to the world. There is a sacred reserve in every man as weli as in every woman. Wo man has more than man, only in smaller, conventional things, not as much in those which move us to be martyrs to what we believe the trutb. Woman is mere reserved about the shadows of things; man about tl;e substance. Both, hown ever, have recesses which none can penetrate. Every human ...being is I conscious ot a Kind ot greatness peculiarly his own, of a heroism under ciacumstances which would make his bravest friends fly, of a charity that can be so aroused aa to give all. . Thc8e.are the under currents. Ihese are what cauee our neighbor to give us so many surprises.

Mr. Gladstone's long expected bill for Irish home rule has come at last. . The Queen's address at the open ing of parliament Monday contained the following allusion to it: A bill will be submitted to you on the earliest available occasion to amend the provisions for the gov ernment of Ireland, Thij bill has been prepared ith a desire to afford contentment to . the Irish people, to fcff ord relief to parliament and to furnish additional securities for the strength "and union of the empire. A synopsis of the bill has been made public. Iu most of its provis ions it is ; identical with the home rule bill of 1886, which caused the split in the Liberal party and caus ed the downfall of the Gladstone ministry. The powers reserved to the Impe rial parliament are very similar to those which our constitution con fers on Congress in reference to State governments. The mcst important change in "the bill is that which provides that the two houses of the Irish parliament shall be separate. Under the bill of 1S8G they were to sit together. The upper house is to consist of 103 members, as in the last bill. Of these 75 are to be elective and 28 to he the representative peers, who are now in the British House of Lords, The elective members must have an income of .1,000 a year from real or personal property. After thirty-eight years all the peers are to be elective. In orler to vote for members of the upper house electors must own or occupy" land which uets 125 a year. The lower house to consist of 204 members, as it was in the bill of 1886, and are to be elected by existing constituencies, while electoral districts are to be constituted for the upper house. The bill provides that, at 'present, there shall still be 103 members for Ireland in the Imperial Parliament, and they will have s vote on all questions reserved from the Ifih Parliament. It was the absence of such a provision in the bill of 1886 which mainly caused the def action of a large element of the Liberal party, and this proposition wil probably be the chief point of at tack on the present bill. I he fate of the new measure is of course problematical but the chance3 of its passage are certainly- not bright. A Solemn Public Duty. - There's no ;hing which hears eo pressingiy upon tne memoers 01 the General Assembly as the im perative duty or thoughtful pro vision,waichf'ul care and as liberal aidas possihle ot the insane of the State. It is needless to descant on the piognancy of this affliction both to the unfortunates and their families "every heart knoweth its own bitterness," and the intensity of-this horror is locked in the breasts of those upon hearthstones the spectre has Bet its foot. The question of the increase of luucacy must.be lett to experts who have given theubject clo3e study and investigation, but one traveling through North Carolina traverse ing the country districts is amazed to find how many insane are pri vately cared for, kept in the cus tody of their families, and in many cases, on account or ineir violence, confined in out-housea and Bub iected to necessary, but cruel re stramt. At least this was the case a few years ago, but it is gratifying to know that this crying evil of the iail confinement of lunatics is be ing obviated as rapidly as possible bv the increased accomodations furnished at the great hospitals of North Carolina at lialeigh, at Morganton and at Goldsboro--all ot which are under wise and en lightened management which rens ders these institutions an honor to the State. The JNortu Carolina medica Society is entitled" to no little credit for the attention which it has of recent years, given" to the question of the insane outside of . ... two verv able articles contributed by Dr J. A, LTcdges, of Fayetto ville, nof the most prominent young phvsicians of the State, and now ine of the editors of the JS'orth Carolina Medial Journal, pub lished at Wilmington have amused no little interest in this vi tal question. Abcast of the duty of providing means for the education and train ing of the intellectual faculties of youth is that of tenderly caring for those whose minds grope in darks uess which may never be re-illum inteJ, and in no degree eubordis nate to any gneat industrial ques tion which may come . before it is the responsibility resting on the Lgislatnre to see well to liz ward ship of thoso whose hands can no longer work nor distracted brains plan.
