THE TRIBUNE tomorrow. and the conclusion

THE TRIBUNE tomorrow. and the conclusion
on Thursday.
Tuscumbia, Alabama, is the scene OF extra
ordinary desolaton. A tornado has swept
over il. several lives are lost, and half the
town is destroyed. The appeal OF the Mayor
for aid indicates the extent of the disaster
Severe storms and disasters from hurricanes
are reported over a wide section OF country.
test case under the license law was tried
Yesterday. The counsel for the defense said
It was the first prosecution for % years for
selling liquor without license. The Com
missioners of Excise have gained their case,
and the liquor dealer is convicted. his
brethren in the trade are somewhat astonlshed.
The minors of an arrangement between the
Erie and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads
have been supposed to point toward 1ur'ner
hostility to the Saratoga compact; but the
particulars given in another column lndlcate
that the project at present has reference Only
to the use of part of the new ROAD 1roh
Chicago by the Erie Company.
| Mr.. Riddles argument in the Safe burglary
case disposes of several of the ingenious
| theories of the defense. One OF his remarks
will meet general acceptance. Speaking Oh
the Secret Service Bureau, he says the evil
dence has shown "what corrupt hisslng'
wriggling set of men there was III THIS DC
partment, and, if it is true, the OUTSIDE
revolution did not come moment TOO soon'
! An Improvement in the character OF the rank
and file of our army may be brought ABOUT
Inv general order which we publish to-day.
Under the order for pardOning deserters IL mas
been found that q class of men so Valueless
- rospIisted that not more than one out OF
fnnrteon becomes q good soldier. The new
order will compel an inquiry as to the pre-
v;ous character of the recruit before he is ac-
copied.
There is a prospect of a conflict between
the evil authorities in Canada and the Roman
| Catholic clergy. The attitude OF the Montreal
cur6 in declaring that he will prefer imprlson-
ment to burying Guibord in cOnsccrated
ground, very strongly resembles the declara-
tons of the clergy in Germany and Switzer-
land. Fortunately in Canada the authorities
are not likely to act with precipitancy, so
that in the meantime, more pacific counsel
may prevail.
The magnificent regime of Supervising Ar
chitect Mullett has come to a sudden end.
There is about sufficient number OF large
and snowy architectural curioslties constructed
at public expense throughout the country but
whether the process of designing new ones and
LAYING their foundations could ever have been
| checked, seemed exceedingly doubtful. MI.
Mulett was good enough to accomplish it, by
Offering his resignation. Doubtless he has
thereby saved Secretary Bristow great deal
of anxiety. One more step is taken toward
good business management and economy III
the Treasury Department.
| The great interest which has been aroused
throughout the reading world by Mr.. Glad
stones pamphlet, induces us to print 1T In full
| this morning. Mere extracts from work OF
| such importance must be at best unsatisfac-
| tory Our readers will wish to know and Will
now have the opportunity of knowing, not only
| the substance of what Mr.. Gladstone has said
in question of the ability of Catholics to rem
der full allegiance to the civil power, but all
that he says on the subject. 1t is not mat
ter for hasty Judgment, or to be presented
piecemcal We shall shortly republish this
important essay, together with Archbishop
Manning's letter, and other documents bearing
OIL the discussion, in the next issue of the
| series of Tribune Extras.
