A GREAT OCCASION. It is hard to justly measure the dignity and importance of great contemporary events and occasions. It is only when they recede into the past and attain the conditions of due historical perspective that they appear to the mental vision properly outlined and proportioned. The cultured mind is impressed and swayed with the stirring occasion of the trial of Warren Hastings as it is pictured by historians with its lavish parade of stately ceremonial and befitting circumstance. But the soene enacted in the House of Commons to-day is at least of equal solemnity and importance.

No famous culprit attracts the gaze of spectators there is not a parallel display of the insignia of the loftiest rank, and there is lacking the solemn routine of judicial procedure.

Commercial Chat. Mr. 8. E. Curtis, formerly of this city, now a prominent grain shipper and commission merchant of New York, was on 'Change to-day, renewing old acquaintances and swapping pinions on the wheat outlook with local speculators.

In a conversation with a Post-Dispatch reporter, Mr. Curtis stated that the Eastern markets were very xuuoh. affected by the strike on the Gould system. "Wheat," said he, "has gone off fully cents within the past few days, but I hardly think that the depression can be laid entirely to the strike news. It is now pretty well established that the old belief tnat Amer -ica contrrols the wheat murk eta of the world is thoroughly exploded, and, like the story about the doe and the rabbit, is not to be depended unon.

"What the Kditors of the New York Journals Are Saying this Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York. April 8. The World says today: "The Senate yesterday, with almost cruel indifference, crushed Mr.

The Sun says: "The attention of the community will naturally be turned by the last circular of the Knights of Labor to consider whether Jay Gould is really the inhuman and destructive wretch that he is there described to be. No such Jay Gould as that has been imagined in this region, where he has longest been known.

With all the critical hostility that Is shown toward him, the Jay Gould of the Southwest has never been paralleled here." the tlmes. The Times says: "St. Louis people are beginning to cast up the loss resulting from the long blockade, and it is not to be wondered at that they feel no sympathy for those who so rashly caused it. As Mr. Powderly says, both sides have probably learned a lesson which will discourage railroad strikes in the future." THE TRIBUNE.

The Tribune says: "The rhetoric of the rebel Knights of Labor is as lurid as the flash of thtir murderous rifles, by which officers of law were shot down in the discharge of their duty at Fort Worth. Men who are conscious of a just cause do not tear a passion to tatters in stating their, case. All this fire and fury has no ether object than to conceal two vital facts." THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. Simply Awful. To the Editor of the Post-LHspaich.

Your paper can do a valuable work if you will investigate why the neighborhood at the corner of Ninth and Olive streets Is turned Into the condition of a country road by the dumping of dirt from overloaded wagons hauling from the excavations of the new Odd-Fellows' Hall. The condition of affairs is simply awful. I heard a prominent contractor say that Street Commissioners do not hold oiilce lor their health, and if they can be kept conveniently blind it pays to be so. Also, why is it that mortar is mixed on such a publio thoroughfare as Olive street, as is now being done near the corner of Tenth and Olive? Is it because we have no one to say nay to it? Have your reporter take a look at the piles of dirt just opposite the Post-othco on the North side of Locust street, which have been there for a year. If a poor man had a barrel of ashes obstructing an alley the keen-nosed oflicers of the law would be after him in a minute.

But it is Old St. Louis ail over. Muddy, slow, not at all energetic, with its oflicers movinur about look ing to see who will set up the drinks and standing around talking about the wonderful improvements being made. But St. Louis people are too slow to see that their officers re not so blind, but that a contractor's nettv SiO will keep a street blockaded for half a year.

In the desperate effort to defend his army bill Senate Logan yesterday intimated that the opposition to it came from demagogues and added that if there was anything detestable in the sight of honest men it was a demagogue.

The United States Courts affirm that Virginia coupons may be tendered in payment of taxes. The Governor and the Legislature of the State say that they must not be tendered. The matter should be referred to some competent base ball club. Gonld Fomenting Disorder. From the Chicago Tribune.

Jay Gould's labt Interview shows an unmistakable desire on bis part to foment disorder in the Southwest and prolong the strike for stock-jobbing purposes. Grand Master Powderly and his committee agreed to all that could be asked in reason, but Gould played with them as a cat does with a mouse, intending in good time to substitute sharp scratches for velvet-like touches. He desired not to end the strike, but to lull and exasperate it alternately, as the situation in Wall street might demand. The attitude of the Southwestern strikers Is bad enough, but that of Jay Gould vastly worse. After every reasonable demand that he could make has been granted he taunts the strikers with weakness and cowardice and impotence, and virtually dares them to continue the conflict.

He sneers at the Knights of Labor as an organization with no "fight" in it, and which he can trample on at will. Not content with the concessions made by Powderly, Gould now seeks to goad the strikers into a renewal of the struggle. The strike did not last long enough for him; he wants more disorder, lawlessness, and destruction of property so that Southwestern railroad stocks may tumble to a lower point and be bought in by himself and his assistant wreckers. Rioting, train wrecking and bridge-burning are included in the programme desired by the stock manipulators who speculate on public calamities. It Is in times of riot, panio and disorder that Jay Gould finds his finest opportunities to make millions, and a man of his mental constitution would prefer money gained by tricky speculation on a "Black Friday" to the returns of a legitimate business.

The taunts Gould throws at the strikers are calculated to incite riot and prolong the trouble in the Southwest. The law ought to make provision for locking up railroad stock gamblers, who, at critical times use incendiary language and endeavor to provoke violent outbreaks that they may speculate on the miseries of workmen and the necessities of the public. Bismarck on the Safety Valve. From the New York World. The German Chanoelior has finally coerced the Helchstag Into voting for a continuance of the Anti-Socialist laws.

These statutes are entirely repugnant to the modern spirit of free thought and free expression, but they are entirely consistent with the principles that control the Court at Berlin. Bismarck is a statesman of the old school of repression. He believes that a gag Is the best argument. He favors the censorship of the press. He advocates the smothering of opinions.

He is sitting on the safety valve. Bismarck and others of his Uk might profitably learn something from a careful study of the genius of this country. He might discover that there is security, and not danger, in free thought, free speech, and a free press. Gunpowder, Ignited In the open air, gives forth a dazzling, but impotent flash. Imprisoned in a cannon's throat, it will send ponderous 6hot through walls of iron.

Escaping steam, while It may hiss and fill the air with vapor, is not especially dangerous. But, with the weight of a government on the safety valve, an explosion at any time should not occasion surprise. MEN OF MARK. Walter S.

The scheme of Home Rule for Ireland perfected and presented by Mr. Glad stone prepares the way for one of those bloodless revolutions which attest the 6af and conservative character of the English people. It announces the final determination of a mighty nation to right the hereditary wrongs of several millions of its citi zens, jfor centuries the condition of Ireland has stirred the sympathies of the world, and has clearly demonstrated the defects and the insufficiency of the present plan of government for that unfortunate member of the empire Durinjz recent years it has been the manifest wish of the wisest English statesmen of all parties to do full justice to Ireland and raise her to a level of equality with the rest of the nation.

But no plan has succeeded. Half measures and ingenious devices have been tried and have failed. Through it all the Irish have never ceased to insist on Home Rule and the management of their own affairs. Mr. Gladstone rises to the level the occasion and offers a final plan of pac Ication embodying the essential demands of the Irish leadei and ac cording the largest measure of independence consistent with the integrity of the empire.

This is the policy of patriotism and statesmanship. To satisfy Ireland is to strengthen England. Considerations of policy and expediency should both prompt the Commons to support the Premier in the consummation of his great work. Van Wyck worried Logan cruelly in the debate on the bill to increase the army, reminding him that he had favored the use of the army in catching fugitive slaves and in remanding them to slavery. The strikes of labor were, in Mr.

Van wyck's opinion, like the strike of Anthony Burns when he struck for liberty, and the army should not be increased as a menace to them or for the purpose of putting them down. "You have raised," said Mr. Van Wyck, "another class of slaveholders just as unrelenting and determined, and steeled against the instincts of humanity as the old slaveholders were, and I think a little more so." Mr. Logan then characterized Van Wyck's remarks as "so low a species of demagogism that no man ought to stooD to it." Mr. Logan used to say the same about all anti-slavery speeches, and Van Wyck reminded him of that fact.

Logan then responded with a tirade about "drink ing the soup that fell from the lips of demagogues," and said if there was anything detestable in the sight of honest men it was 'a demagogue who lived and fed upon flattering those who did not understand him And then the old demagogue that formerly lived and fed upon flattering the slaveholders who did not understand him, proceeded to flatter the Union soldiers, who do not understand him, with a demagogue speech against an amendment permitting the appointment of ex-Confederates to positions in the army. It was a bad day for Logan. He was sorely beaten in the debate and his bill was badly beaten in the vote. The repeal of the Broadway railroad franchise by an almost unanimous vote in the New York Senate establishes a remedial precedent, the good effect of which will soon be felt all over the United States. As a warning to corporations and a wholesome check upon their corrupt methods of influencing legislative bodies, it is "a long -felt oneof the most forci-ible strokes of legislation recorded for years.

Congress might do some good work in the same line. One man who was determined to hear Gladstone's speech offered $500 for a good seat. This is a significant tribute to the eloquence and popularity of the Premier. People who pay $7 to hear grand opera, or $10 to witness a prize-fight, will learn with surprise that an English statesman has greater drawing power than Patti or John L. Sullivan.
