Current Notes.

The White Hills appear to offer consdera-
BILE resistance to the tidal wave.
1t seems that Clerk Mcpherson, Journal
Clerk Barclay and Speaker Blaine all thought
the concurrence by the House in the Senate
amendments passed the bounty bill. Ac-
cordingy it was enrolled, signed by the speak
er, and then taken over TO the Senate to be
signed by the vice president. In atfixing his
[, signature, it is claimed that the latter be-
lieved he vas simply discharging bis PLAN
duty.
A finance committee with Senator Dawes
off is family suggestive of "Hamlet" with the
part of the prince omitted. But there are
people, we dare say, who would prefer their
play in that shape; and Senator John Sher-
man is understood to prefer his finance with
out any infusion of Dawes. The leaving off
of the latter from the committee is attrib-
uted at Washington, whether justly or un-
justly, to that eminent Ohioan. Is it . case
of lion number one thinking lion number
two bore? OF course the reason put for
ward for the exclusion of Mr.. Dawes is, that
he is a new Senator and must serve his ap-
prenticeship.-SprinQield Republican.
The Independent says: "It is too soon to
discuss the question of candidates for the
next Presidency; yet, when the time comes,
James G. Blaine will be at least, one of the
persons, and probably the most prominent,
that will attract the attention of the Republi-
can party. We know of no one who would
be more likely to unite the party or secure
the general confidence of the country. His
administrative abilities and sound judgment
have borne the test of time. He has never
been failure anywhere or in anything"
1t has possibly dawned upon the public
mind that those who pay taxes fare no better
under Democratic than under Republican
administration. We know of no state, out
side that which the carpet baggers ruled and
ruined, where the return of Democracy to
power has been Of any advantage to the peo-
ple.-Cincinnati Commercial (Ind.)
The republicans of New Hampshire, after
years experience in opposition, have con-
cluded that they don't like it, and decided to
take the state into their own control This
gratifying success may be attributed to vari-
ETY. of cause.-the nomination of excellent
candidates, the good sense OF most OF the
prohibitOnists in refusing to throw away
their votes upon third candidate, the ener-
getic canvassing, by which the ''quaker vote
was brought out, and, in a word, the vigil
ant organization and skillfnl management of
the campaign by the republican state and
local committees. The verdict is a hopeful
one, and indicates-so far as it has any ma
tional sgnifcance-that the people are not
yet ready to put the great interests and des-
TIMES of this nation in the power of any other
party than that which, in spite of manifold
and sometimes dsheartening failures, has on
the whole administered its affairs with splen-
did success.-Boston Advertiser.

THE Connecticut Democrats are very un-
happy, for they have been swindled; and
that is unpleasant, particularly for swindlers.
A man named Gerhardt came to the Demo-
cratic chiefs no: long since, and offered to
start German newspaper, to be printed
both in Hartford and New Haven, TO influ-
no money of his own, and wanted some from
the candidates and leaders. He succeeded in
raising $4,000, and was about to decamp with
it when he was arrested. The money how
ever was not recovered, and the Democrats
are weeping bitterly to think how many
votes $4,000 would have bought.

THE Democrats have suddenly discovered
that the election in New Hampshire isn't of
much consequence after all. 1t doesn't add
materially to the tidal wave business, that's a
fact, but sets up very big granite rock in
its path. That newborn affection for the
Democracy, of which the journals of that par
ty prated last fall, has been blighted. The
people of New Hampshire found they were
victims of misplaced confidence, and they
kicked the deceivers out of doors at the first
opportunity.

OF the cabinet which President McMahon
has at last succeeded in forming all but three
belong to the right center. Dufaure and
Leon Say are members ol the left center, and
WALTON belongs TO the little party of his own
creation, known as the groupe Wallon. Gu-
faure has been sinister under Louis Philippe,
Cavaignac, Louis Napoleon and Thiers, and
has been in official life for thirty-six years.
Buffet was for limited time minister under
the liberal Olivier ministry of Louis Napole-
on, but was never in sympathy with the i'm
perial policy. De Cissey was a minister Of
Theirs creation, in 1871, and has been in
Office ever since. Say was minister of finance
under Theirs. Decazes has passed most of
his life in diplomatic service, and held port
folio under De Brogle. De Montagnac has
been Minister of Marine ever since the over
throw Of the De Broglie administration.

A MARKED change seems to be going on in
French taste. The rule of the social drama,
of the Camilles and the Julie de Trec9urs, has
at last been broken, and the heroic drama has
usurped its place. Bornier's "Fille de Ro-
land" written in verse and in five long acts.
and dealing with the era of Charlemagne, is
the great success Of the season in Paris. The
play depends upon its elevation of sentiment,
its literary merit, and the heroic actions of
its characters, instead of the development OF
those morbid passions which find their legiti-
mate outcome in criminal court. 1t is a
sign of greatly improved taste when the
French people turn from the criminal eccen-
tricities of the Woman of Fire to contem-
plation of the heroic virtues Of suppositious
daughter Of the mythical Roland, the hero Of
the old romances of chivalry.

By the comforting of the red hat upon
Archbishop McCloskey the Catholics of this
country will be directly represented for the
first time in the government of the church
and in the election of Pope. At present
there are but forty-nine Cardinals, of whom
twenty-seven are residents of Rome and form
part of the papal household. The remain
ing sixteen are of the following nationalities: /:
Austria, three; France, six; Germany, two;
Guatemala, one; Ireland, one; Portugal,
one; Spain, two. The sacred college is limi-
ted to seventy members. The new creations
will increase the actual number to fifty-five.
Archbishop McCloskey will be regarded as a
prince of the church. He retains his old
dignity, and his title will be His Eminence
the Cardinal Archbishop. The other pre-
lates who are to be made Cardinals on Mon
day are: Mgr. Ledochowski, Archbishop Of
Posen and Gniesen; Mgr. Deschamps, Arch
bishop of Mechlin, Belgium; Archbishop
Manning of Westminster; Mgr. Bortolini,
Consultor of the Roman Court, and Mgr.
Giannelli, Archbishop ofSardia.

UNLESS the Senate gets into long wran-
gle over the Pinchback resolution the extra
session will come to a close next week. The
Hawaiian treaty will be speedily decided, and
but little more remains to do. Mr.. Claytop's
resolution for the appointment Of special
committee to visit the Indian territory will
probably be killed. Its submission called out
the point of order that the Senate has no
right to take any action Of a legislative char
acter, excepting when the Senate and
House of Representatives are assembled in
Congress. Only when so assembled, it was
argued, is the Senate legislative body. 1t
was urged on the other hand that whatever
the Senate has right to do when the House
is in session, not requiring concurrence OF
the House, it has right to do when the
House is not in session. The Senate did not
care to decide the point, it seems, and so the
whole subject was laid on the table,

THE METHODIST MINISTER'S.

The discussion OF the peculiar relations of
Methodist ministers TO one another arising out of
the itinerancy was continued yesterday in the
preachers meeting by Drs. b. M. Adams James
Porter and ]. M. Buckley. DR.. Adams took GEN
eral grounds that there Is nothing in the dlsci.
pine OF the Methodist Episcopal Church to pro.
hibit any church or pastor from negotiating for
ministerial services. He thought men got to their
true level In the ministry as they did in any other
calling or profession, and the men who got TO the
'front.' in the ministry are the men who have INTEL
iectual and moral force in them, and to push any
other class OF men forward Is to make complete fail.

OF the average man. for without it he would be
lett TO shit for himself but with 1t he is provided
with some plan to work for God and for the saliva.
ton OF souls. DR.. Adams considered the ministry
MS place for making money altogether too low
plane fer any Christian man to 60 on. He would
himself rather drive team or gather ashes from
house to house than enter or continue in the min.
lsry unless he felt with the prophet that "woe is

OenHed authority on Methodist polity, defined

urng, ne had no hope for cnauge ana return 10
the old ways. Methodism is drifting in the dlrec-
ton OF legal contracts between churches and NM
listers like the Protestant Episcopal Church. and he
believed that by and by the bishops would have
hftle or nothing TO DO but indorse those con-
tracts. Old men and average men should there
