Fors,er,. UnpopuIarlty.

1t is probable that Healy, member
for Wexford, will be suspended for the
remainder Of the session this week.
Healey, who is a nephew of the brothers
A. N. and T. d. Sullivan, is the young
est and noisiest Of the Parnell party.
He was Parnell's secretary during his
trip to America, and possesses almost
as good a knowledge Of parliamentary
rules as his chief. Mr.. Biggar is in
poor health, and Healy has taken his
place as chief obstructionist.
In the house, on Monday. Forster
replying to a question, said the Irish
landlords were not ~endeavoring to force
the government to support them in the
exercise Of justice. A large proportion
Of the tenants against whom eviction
proceedings had been taken, are able
but unwilling to pay rent. 1t is said
the castle authorities have secured
evidence Of a plot to kill Mr.. Forster.
Hitherto the chief secretary has trav-
eled to and fro between London and
Dublin without a guard or escort of
any kind. On his arrival by the royal
mail steamer at Kingston pier he is in
variably greeted with groans and cries
of ''buckshot." but no violence has
been attempted. In future, however,
the time of his arrival and departure
will be kept secret, and his special train
to Dublin will be well guarded. The
chief secretary's lodge in Phoenix Park
has been guarded by double sentries for
some time. Mr.. Forster is probably
the most unpopular man in Ireland
since the days Of Lord Castlereagh.

Ezow Things are Done in the Army.

La noticing the promotion of GEN. Dslos
B. Sacket to the inspector generalship of
the army, we expressed some surprise
that friend of Mcclellan and Fitz John
Porter should have ATTAINED this step, no
matter how much he was entitled to it.
The following from the Washington Post
throws tsomc interesting light upon the
matter:
While it was generally expected that
Col. Sacket would receive the appointment
as he il the next in rank, yet the deci-
sion was reached Ionly after considerable
consultation and argument. The inside
history of this appointment is rather cur.
ious. A statement has found its way in
to the newspapers several times during
the present administration that the occu-
pant of the White House is inclined to ap-
point Ohio men to Office. This has been
vigorously denied. There seems to be
some truth in the statement, for in thi.
case Mr.. Hayes was DESTROYS of appoint.
ing Col. Wesley Merritt OF the Fifth cavalry,
and, what is more important, of Ohio as
inspector general. 1t appears, however.
that he is is not entirely responsible for
this determination. as it is said that as
soon as Gen. Marcy was retired the entire
ONO influence was brought to bear upon

DIR, Hayes to secure this appointment.
Gen. Drum contsnded that Col. Sacket
was entitled to the promotion, but DIR.
Hayes and the Ohio influence remained
firm, They argued that the state of Ohio
had not received sufficient recognition IN
the executive patronage. for the reason
that here was an Ohio man who could
receive an appointment and had not. The
question was then referred to the attorney
general, who decided that Col. Sacket was
entitled to the place. mr. Hayes was
surprised at the decision: The question
seemed to him very simple one, and
canabIe of but one solution. AS he 81 aeh
ically rut it, Here was an Ohio man
and there was an Office, and the CON BIZ
nation of tho two was not only natural but
logical The opinion of the attorney
general, however. prevailed. and Col.
Sacket's promotion was decided uDou."
The Army and Navy Journal. unim-
peaehable aushority, copies the above.
with the following con6rmatory comments:
III the president makes no worse APP
pointments from Ohio than that of Wesley
Merritt tho army will fnd occasion to
forget some lis causes for criticism.
Gsn. Merritt is not an Ohio man. however,
as he was born 10 New York and appoint
ed to the army from the military acade-
my He did have ths happiness of mar
rying most estimable lady from Cincin-
natl 1t is undoubtedly true that the
appointment of Gen. Sacket was for some
reason held for several days at the White
House. Il required some discussion to
convince the president of two things
irst, that COL Saeket was by law entitled
to the promotion. aud nsxt, that this pro-
motion did not create the vacancy that
was expected. Then the question was
raised az TO how a vacancy could be ade
and the result was the retirement of Gen.
Schriver. aud the appointment of Maj
Breckenridge"
So Merritt only failed of getting the
promotion because the attorney general de-
cided that it belonged to Sacket. Mr..
Hayes preferred Merritt to Sacket, though
the latter has been IN active service IN the
army from 1915 while the former entered
the army in 1860. Moreover, Sacket has
been doing inspection duty since December
Is. 1861, while Merritt has had 20 ex
perienes whatever 10 that lins Possibly
the Cincinnati marriage had something to
do with this presidential preference, but
probably Sacket's sins in regard to Me-
Clellan and Porter were remembered
against him. Mr.. Hayes anxiety to
''ereate the vacancy" which finally was
created By the retirement of Gen.
Sohriyer, is explained by the fact that
Maj Breckenridge who now fills the va
cancy, married niece or cousin OF Mrs.
Hayes Had Sacket 3een equally FORUM"
alto 10 his domestic arrangements. his pro-
motion would not have hung Are" mo-
