THE New York Evening Mail says that
Mr.. Herbert Gladstone seems to be IS ardent
a friend Of the United States ss hia distin-
guished father. In his speech to the electors
of Leeds, Saturday evening, he said: "One
Of the most satisfactory points in the foreign
outlook is heincreasing friendship between
England and America" II anything is more
satisfactory than the outburst of British SYM
psthy with President Garfield, il was
the manner In which that outburst was re-
ceived in America" II is mistake to sup
pose that the revolutionary war was perma-
nently hurtful to the friendship Of this coun-
try and England. Our relations as an
Independent nation are likely to be more
cordial with England during the next quarter
of century than thoae Of Canada as q
dependency.

AT the hour for going to press the presi-
dent was still alive, though he waa hanging
as ifbya thread, between life and death.
He took nourishment during the--day. but
was very weak, and the pulse attained
the alsrmingly high beat of 1888. At the
close OF the day it was believed that
there was slight change for tho better, but
nothing could be affirmed Of this character
with safety, as there was constant apprehena
slons of the sloughing off of the
swelling Of tie parotid gland
a change which would produce almost in.
slant death. Such condition cannot long re-
main stationary, and all symptoms indicate
that the chances are against any favorable
turn. The painful suspense continues 10
hang over the American people, but 1t
cannot be long. He may die suddenly at
any moment, but cannot hold out la his
present condition very much longer.

So 1t must DO determined in time where the

No FACTS speak with more telling effect of

following Interference to her decrease in pop
ulston. 1t 10 a sad comm0ntlry on poo
pies political condition to sac ell her populs-
ton gradually, but surely dwindling away.
No eloquence could appeal with hslfihe force
in advocacy of change end reform.
'In forty years England and Wales have
gained above 100000 inhabitants, while
Ireland has lost about 100000. III density
the population of England and Wales is
about 44O persons TO the square mile, which
is only thirty less than Belgium, the most
densely populated country in Europe. In
England alone the density at the close of the
reign of Queen Elizabeth was SO to the
square mile; now it ia 4S3. In density the
three Kingdoms seem to have increased in q
decade from 268 to the square mile to 200.
The decrease in Ireland shows the poverty
of that part of the kingdom as compared
with tho remainder, and proves that there is
something wrong both in its social and
political well-being. While the entire king
dom exhibits great further progress in
material resources, an increase of wealth and
a gradual advancement in the aggregate
prosperity. Ireland exhibits want, circum-
scribement Of occupation. and, if not an
actual decrease in wealth, a most anomalous

The chief OF Sccret Service.

In reference to the articles written by cx-'
Chief Benson and palmed of as facts upon
unsophisticated newspaper correspondents
as to the expenses of the secret service of
the Treasury and its chief, Col. j. j. Brooks,
we mention the following incidentals for
general information:
The salary and expenses of the individual
Office of the chief of the Secret Service Di-
vision cost the people $1,000 per year. The
same service six years ago cost $4,000 per
year. Saving effected in chiefs Office alone
$4,000 per year. The Secret Service Di-
vision costs, under its present management,
$4,000 per year less than it did six years
ago, and $4,000 per year less than it did
tatiOns hurtlcd Mt the present chief come
from persons who are seeking, through the
pos session of the Secret Service Division, to
continue their robberies of the U. s. Treas
ury, and they arc bold and mad enough to
proclaim their purpose. The only relative
he has in the division is brother and he
once had been discharged. but was reap
pointed on the solicitation of the chief
operative, under whom he worked. Posi-
bly, this should not have been done, but
blood is thicker than water. Each Brooks
of the four is citizen, a Taxpayer and
voter; each the head of family with
membership not less than five; each having
equal right with any other citizen to obtain
public position if he could. If any other
decent citizen is able to supplant Brooks
the latter cannot justly complain, for no
man has lease on public Office. The united
salaries of the four Brookses, when added to
all the expenses of travel, &c, necessary to
the discharge of the duties of their Offices
will not aggregate more than $4,000 per
wear.

Chat nIac.Mnich rie.

On Monday last the umpire, Mr.. J. T.
Bcckham, and representatives of the Wash
ington and Alexandria Light Infantry, the
National Rifles and Capt. McCathnn's COM
pany, met at Alexandria to decide upon the
tie made by the teams of the Washington
Light Infantry and the National Rifles at
the late contest at Glymont. After much
discussion resolutions offered by Mr.. Manson,
of the Rifles, were adopted to the effect that
first, the teams agree to shoot the tie over
for the cup, and secondly, that the scores, as
to the last shooting, be referred to the Ma
tional Rifle Association of New York, as to
which team is entitled to the cup.
Mr.. Fraser, of the Alexandria Light In
fantry, offered resolution that the shooting
ut the last match be declared off and that
they shoot it over This resolution was
voted down, and thercupon Mr.. Fraser OBJ
jected to the second resolution of Mr.. Man
sen, stating that when the matter was de-
cided by the National Rifle Association it
was finally decided, and there was no use of
shooting over. AS it stands the scores have
been referred to the National Association.
