WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The following
10 tue points at issue between the United
States and Spain as stated In non.offlcial
but usually we'll informed circles The
United states asks first, that, In the fli-
| ture all American citizens In Cuba &C.
cused Of violating the law shall DO tried
| BY civil courts. and not by military trib-
unals, with all the rights In such cases
| secured by the seventh article Of the
treaty Of 1895, and second that all SEN
fences where American citizens have
heretofore been tried by military tribu.
nails shall be annuled. Spain agrees to
concede the claim Of the first proposition.
agreeing that In future American citizens
accused of violations Of law shall be tried
by the ordinary tribunals with the right
to be heard by counsel, to summon wit
nesses and employ oil other necessary
safeguards to the accused, but with the
reservation that all such trials shall be
according to the law Of 1921, which pro-
vides for more expeditions proceedings
than those Of the civil courts for common
crimes In times OF peace. She also offers
to reverse all sentences passed by court
martial on American citizens where il
shall be satisfactorily shown that such
sentences were in violation of established
laws. This reply Is unsatisfactory to the
United States, which takes the ground
that American citizens. accused Of crimes,
cannot be tried by court martial, but are
entitled to trial by civil tribunals only as
secured by treaty stipulation without
euch reservation as Is proposed BY Spain.
The cabinet session to-day was short.
Several appointments were under con-
sideration and several members decided
in company with the president to visit
Philadelphia on the 18th inst. II is
probable that the secretary of the
navy. the postmaster-general and attor-
ney-general will be present on the occa-
sion.
The secretary of the Interior now holds
In trust for certain Indians stocks and
bonds. the par value Of which Is about
Sb.OOO,0OO. He says 1t seems to him that
the United States treasurer should be the
custodian of this property and he there
tore sends to Congress o draft OF a bill
providing for such custody.
The Secretary of the Interior sent to
the House Of Representatives a draft
OF bill extending the 10th section
OF the Indian appropriation act of 1870 to
all the Indian agents, sub-agents and
special agents so as to require satisfac-
tory bonds Of them and making false en-
tries In their books q misdemeanor pun
lshable by fine Of $500 or 81 900 at tho
discretion OF the court. At present the
law applies to only part Of the agents.
IL is said to be the intention Of Speaker
Kerr to announce the standing commit
tees, Tuesday, the 2lst inst, and that on
the succeeding day the two houses will
take the usual holiday recess.

The people OF Cairo engaged yesterday
in considerable discussion of the late turn
OF affairs in the whisky ring. Some were
loud in the opinion that since Grant has
concluded to stand by Babcock, innocent
or guilty, Mum would stand good
chance to escape also. Others expressed
contrary opinion, but all were alike

TALnAGE ON Tine RAMPAGE.

The Rev. I. Dewitt Talmscc. @
! Brooklyn, preached . sermon on las
I Sunday morning in his tabernacle, or
THE Bible in the Public Schools" tn,
sermon was . Talmagean efort-thor'
oughly Characteristic Of the reverend
blstherskite who delivered it. Grasping
the Bible which lay on the sacred desk
before him and pressing it to his Dos IN,
be declared his unalterable determine
ton TO take it and keep it in the presence
OF angels and Of devils. He warned his
foes. who had sought to burn his home
and consume his family that he was not to
be terrified out Of his christian course
he knew the effects OF his SER
mons by the commoiion they
stirred up in Internal circles and
informed his congregation that on
next Sunday. he would begin to preach
fearlessly against public iniquities he
would put the plough in up to ths beam,
and rip up that field completely; no one
should ever take the golden chain Of the
Bible from the neck Of the public schools;
some one had misconstrued his remarks
on base politicians there was not q
nobler specimen Of man than the Chris
tian politician, and not viler form of
beast than one who Is base. Born in the
cesspool Of the caucus, and compelled to
crawl on his belly through the slime aud
dlth of political slums, and anxious to
lick the heel Of the emigrant before he
has had time to wash his feet after his
arrival in this country, l abhor, ] abb
hor, abhor him." reiterated the
immaculate Mr., Talunage, and
his vigorously expressed hatred
was greeted with loud applause and
laughter, while voice from the gallery
shouted hear. hear"
With due respect for the sacred office
dishonored by such blatant preachers as
TalmaEe, We wish to record our humble
disapprobation Of him and his school.
They are class Of pulpit brawlers who,
BY taking up such subjects as the Bible
in the public schools. and by treating
'hen In thcir peculiar manner, bring dis
grace upon their profession, and by that
influence which even the selfish and igno-
rant and egotistical members Of the
clergy exert over their flocks, inilame
the public mind without dsing
corresponding good. They do not wound
TO heal-they open old sores ani 10y con-
slant irritation, keep them open to the
permanent injury Of the bodies social and
polite. There is no law to prevent such
men as Talmags making the question of
the Bible IN the public schools one of pull
pit discussion, neither is there law to
prevent them making fools of them
selves In its discussion; but the Christian |
church would preserve to itself much Of
that respect which the world feels for it |
a. one Of the civilizing and educating in
stituti0ns OF the age, II it would frown |
down the Tslmage school Of preachers.

rol,ne. 1t is said that at least con-
tributory cause is furnished by the
great destruction of timber in the dis
trlct during tho last century. Trees
not only absorb water largely from the
soil, but they also prevcut the surface
from bcing baked aud hardened by tho
sun, and they check the rapidity and
ahruptness with which rain would
otherwise reach the ground. When it
fnils nnimpeded upon dry and barren
blllsldes, it will run from them almost
as freely az from the sloping roofs Of
houses, and few hours will carry the
water OF tho mountain storm to swell
The volume Of the nearest river. It is
easy to be wise after the event; but in
district 20 situated there is great room
Tor measures Of prevention, and the
riparian authorities, whoever they may
b9, should be intrusted with powers
commensurate to the magnitude of the
recurring evils, which, by wise precau-
t'ons, they might do much to mitigate
Or avert. Even the tiny floods which
sometimes occur III this country are
often greatly aggravated by local neg
lect, by some sitting up of the channel
ot stream, or by some ill-placed
bridge, which forms m obstacle to the
passnge Of an unusual body of water.
III rivers in which are liable to be
swollen by mountain torrents the chan
,cls should bo made tho objects of
'inccasipg solicitude. and the span and
construction of bridges should he dc
termincd by other than purely local
considerations.

Our Rifemen in Old Ireland.

The account of the dinner given by
the faculty of Trinity College, Dublin,
to the members Of the American team
will be found full of interest. Nothing
could better illustrate the profound
friendship all classes of the Irish peo-
pie feel towards Americans, than this
banquet offered to our rifemen. Among
all the conservative institutions of Ire
land, old Trinity has ever been the
most rigid and exclusive, and that fell
lows cf that institution ahonld throw
open their banqueting halls TO a num-
ber of republican Amarican rifemen
shows that the kindly feeling entertained
by the masses of the Irish people town1d
our institutions begin to be shared even
by the most conservative element in
Ireland. The banquet itself gave occa-
sion for display of after. dinner elo-
uuence ut once graceful and effective.
Toasts were drunk to tho health of the
president of the United States, an honor
never before paid to any foreign ruler.
The value OF ali this is in the lesson of
unity and good fellowship it teaches.
II these peaceful contests at Creedmoor
and Do)lymount shorld do no other
good they will have removed many in
grained preiudices from the minds of
many persons. Irish gentlemen will
learn from the testimony of men of their
own caste that the American people do
not at all resemble the typical Yankee,
and Americans who have been drawn to
Ireland will find that the stage Irishman
has no existence except in the fertile
brains of .dramatists, Their vie::s.- will
also demonstrate to them the existence
of cultured and refined Irish society,
as distinct from tho whisky. drinking,
riot-loving creatures pictured by for
oign carioaturists as could we'll be
imagined. With the disappearance OF
these and kindred preiudices we may
hope that tho bonds of sympathy be-
tween the Irish and American people
will continue to multiply. And il these
frequent visits and interchanges Of sen,
timents do no more than this, they will
have amply repaid tho time and atten.

off until the 18th inst. Tho difficulty
in this case will be that of obtaining n
proper jury, MS the Mormon element is
very strong and preiutlced in Lees
favor. Lee was indicted last October,
and the witnesses against him will be
persons who witnessed the massacre
when children, seventeen years ago, Lee
and his fellow-murderers having spared
that number. The Mormons claim that
the Indians did the killing, but this, it
is said, can be entirely refuted.
