successful result by trial. 1t is the question
f costs that vexes the souls Of Mr. Sullivan and his
friends The expenses have undoubtedly been as
they say. enormous; and great part Of them have
been thrown away because the Government did
not choose to conduct an investigation into the Irish
land question and the wickedness OF Irish landlords
before Jury of Dublin gIocers. These expenses DO
not. indeed, come out of Mr.. PaInelPs pocket;
which unlike the pockets OF most of the traversers

London last night is occasioned by mission TO Paris
to invest a sum of nearly $25OOOO in Continental
securities. To invest Irish money in English con-
sols would be. suppose too significant mark OF
confidence in the stability Of the British Empire.
Naturally enough, the League held meeting in
Dublin Wednesday, to rejoice it's victory. The
proceedings show clearly. what was not obscure
before that the leaders of this movement look

which gives rise to reflections of an obvious kind.
Mr. Mschen desires IL to be understood that the trial
has converted him. In phrase which only an
freshman could have hit upon, he explains the
secret Of his political regeneration. Until he read
the rules Of the Land League during the trial. and
heard 20 much about the work it was performing,
he wss not aware there was such splendid
organization in his native land. The splen-
dor had dazzled him. He felt Life to be no longer
worth living unless he might pass tho rest of it
amid this refulgence. Then came the usual CON-
plants and compliments about the Press. One
paper was denounced by Mr.. Eean for not reporting

The Industrial League, paraded as one
of the forces that is 10 revise the tariff,
is. remarks the Boston Post, about as
bigoted an organization in its protection
theories as any that has as yet made a
showing of Its principles. 1t even re-
CARDS proposed commercial treaties as
inimical to the narrow interests that it
guards so jealousy, and eyes askance
any influence that promises to extend
our markets and swell the volume of
commercial transactions between this
country and other countries. A tariff,
absolutely prohibitory, would, doubtless,
seem to the missionaries of this league
the perfection of a tariff. Agitation
against the present enormously high
tariff, commercial treaties and all move
ments looking toward commercial reel
procity, are styled by the League, "con-
spiracies against the welfare of our ma
tor" And these are the men who are
to revise the tariff!

A Question as to Executive Appoint
menfs Dnring the Recess.

A Washington special says: ut is
learned that difference of opinion has
arisen between the President and Senator
Edmunds and other members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee in regard
to the construction of the statute requir-
ing the President to send to the Senate
within thirty days after assembling the
names of officials suspended during the
recess of the Senate, together with the
names of persons appOin ted to fill such
vacant offices. Senator Edmunds and
the Senate Judiciary Committee main
tain that the President is required to
send such suspended nominations to the
Senate at the first session of the Senate,
whether that body remains in
session thirty days or not. The
President, on the other hand,
takes the position that he is not required
to send such nominations to the Senate
unless it remains in session thirty DAYS,
and that if it adjourns before that time
the appointments made during the recess
hold until the next session. The Presi-
dent remarked to Senator Yesterday
that if the Senate sustained the view
taken by Senator Edmunds he would re-
quire at least fortnight to consider
some of the suspended cases before de-
Gliding whether to send in the names of
all the persons appointed by his prede-
cessor or not. To-day the Presidentin.
timated that he should adhere to his own
view of the law, being backed by the
opinion of the Attorney General, and
would not send in all the nominations
this session. After the Senate adjourned
Senator Edmunds had a protracted inter-
view with the President about the mat
ter, but he declines to say what conclu-
sion, if any, was reached"

The rivalry between the French and
German visitors to the Yorktown CEN
tennial reached the most ridiculous lin.
its the other day. Ever since the repre-
sentatives of the two nations landed on
our shores, it has been a contest between
them as to which should receive the
most recognition. The French COM
planned that we showed too much atten-
ton to the Germans; the latter that we
neglected them for the French. When
the German societies turned out TO re
ceive the Won Steubens, the French Off
GERS took refuge on their man-ofwar;
and the German officers, in similar man
ner, sulked because only French names
appeared upon the triumphal arch at
Richmond. The latest display of rivalry
occurred on the steamer Catskill, the
other day, en- route for Richmond. Some
of the German officers began finging
dimes and quarters into the river for the
negroes to dive for. When the French
officers saw this. they began casting
their money into the water also, and the
rivalry became so hot, in a short time,
that s. and $40 gold pieces followed
each other in rapid succession into the
bottomless depths. Quite a large sum
of money found its way into the water
before returning reason convinced the
officers that this was very poor and
unsatisfactory manner of fighting each
other.
