SENA TOR GARLAND ON THESMIssIS.
SIRRI IEKE ES

We have received copy of the speech made
by Senator Garland, of Arkansas, in Congress
on his presentation of bill for constructing
is one whose cogency and sound argument,
supported by the best legal authority, cannot
fail to have a good effect upon Congress.
The bill empowers the existing river COM
mission to have constructed, repaired and
kept in order, levees for the preservation of
the channel of the Mississippi river, and to
prevent devastation from breaks and over
flows, under rules prescribed by the secretary
of war, for which purpose Sl5,000,000 are
appropriated, which sum is not to be ex-
ceeded. In advocating the claims of this
bill Mr.. Garland made a sensible, business
like speech to the following effect: The bill
has few provisions; it does not say where the
leeves shall be erected or of what extent they
shall be; those things are left to the river
commission. The law already recognizes
the objects of the bill. 1t assigns to
the existing commission the construction
OF plans for improving the Mississippi,
Tor giving safety and ease to its naviga-
ton, and for preventing destructive floods,
mus aiding commerce; also to report upon
the practicability of the jetty, levee and out
let systems. This commits Congress to the
adoption of such system the commission
ers may direct. Congress having the author
lily and coneeding the necessity of improve
ment, IL there sufficient information and
power to act upon the subject? Before the
he ~
IN 1880, by granting swamp lands for the
construction of levees, committed itself to
'ne propriety Of building them. What is it

NATIONAL POLITICS.

As to national politics, Mr.. Payne said the
"best the Democrats could do was to keep
quiet, attend to their business and let the
other party quarrel among themselves"
+ The Whitaker case has not only been
costly plaything TO the government, but
terrible botch from beginning to end. 1t
would have paid better to pension Whitaker
on Geuten ants pay.
Senator Jones, OF Nevada, is quoted as
saying: 81 believe that what General Wig
fall declared is true. The Yankees sold their
slaves to the South for the love of money,
and then stole them back again for the love
of God"
sister of Edward flanagan, once United
States senator, and minister to Russia, died
lately in an Indiana poorhouse She had
been reared in luxury, but complete loss
of relatives and property reduced her to
pauperism.
Alexander II. Stephens, in a note adj
dressed to the Boston Post, shows that John
P. King, of Augusta, began his senatorial
duties earlier than any other man now living
He served from December 3, 1888, to No
vember l, 1887.
The Democratic press should enter an en-
phatic dissent from the proposition of Mr..
Henry Watterson at the Jackson birthday
celebration at Chicago, that the national
debt should be made perpetual. A national
debt is a national curse.
There is a growing impression that Sena-
tor Edmands is regularly entered for the
presidential race in 1884. 1t is new under
stood that his declination of a seat on the
Supreme bench had this signifcance-noth-
ing more, nothing less.
Even Hon. E. Chandler has taken heart of
hope after the confirm alton of Mr. Conkling,
as associate justice OF the Supreme Court, and
thinks thathe can now be confirmed solicitor
general. And thus the whirling of time doth
make gigantic changes.
1t is understood that Mr.. Thurman and
Postmaster-GeneralH Howe will not reioin the
international monetary conference, and sue
cessors will have to be appointed. They have
doubtless got enough of residence abroad,
and Of talk that leads to no practical result
If Chandler can get cabinet position he
will take it, whether Blaine is opposed to il
or not. Cabinet positions are never refused
by men of the Chandler stamp, if they can
help it. A very strong pressure would have
to be brought on this friend of Blaine to in
duce him to become self-saerifcing.
Lively times may be expected when Bean

City subordinate, who is in South CaroIina.

A PASTORAL LETTER
By the Catholic Provincial Council e
BE Read in All the Churches
Progress Of Religion.
The Necessity OF Obedienee-Au Men
Not EquaI-Trades UnfOns-MOd-
ern Church Music

CINCINNATI. March 30.-The Catholic
Provincial Council, which met here recently,
prepared lengthy pastoral letter to be read
u all the churches. 1t received its first pub
LEGATION to-day in the Catholic Telegraph 1t
begins with a review of the progress of re-
HgiOn since the last council, twenty years
ago, and congratulates the church on its
transition from a mission epoch to a condi-
ton of hxity. 1t then goes on to speak OF
the necessity of obedience to authority;
holds that all men are not equal, and that
men ordained to rule as kings, magistrates,
bishops and priests, have rights which SUBJ
jects do not; laments the disposition to Try
God before the court of human reason, and
says that no man has right to teach false
hood or to change jot or little OF the law
of God. 1t is very outspoken on the subject
OF labor unions. 1t says mans labor is
his own, as moeh as the gold of the rich
mar, and ne hasa right to sell it
as he pleases at a fair price, and
so long as men accede TO others the
same freedom they claim for themselves
there is no sin in labor banding together for
self protection. But labor unions are liable
to fail and cannot be sustained when they
attempt to force man to join a union or TO
work for price fixed by union. Catholics
cannot be partners in any attempt to coerce
others against their just rights nor to do
injury to the person or property of others.
The letter has long paragraph in regard to
newspapers, in which it specifically denounces
what it calls the illegitimate means used by
the Irish World in its advocacy of the cause
of Ireland, but adds: ave are ready to CO.
operate with the bishops OF Ireland in any
legitimate effort to ameliorate the present
unhappy condition of the Irish people"
The letter condemns much of the modern
music, and says the Gregorian chant is the
recognized form; ii directs that all music tina
savors of the sensuous and the profane, the
theater or the opera, shall be excluded
from the choirs, as shall also all music that
attracts the attention of the people from the
altar to the choir. Much is said condemna-
tory of secret societies, especially such
as have a religious hierarchy or form
of liturgy. Reverting to the subject
OF authority, the letter says it is not the
Catholic doctrine that all power comes from
the people, and that rulers do not exer-
else authority as their own, but as in
trusted to them by the people. The Catholic
doctrine is, that the grant of power is not
given by the people, but they only designate
who is to WELD it. As to the priest, people
are commanded to seek law from his ii ps;
and in all matters of civil life appertain-
ing te their faith and morals, the priest has
the right to-speak and the people are re-
quired to listen. Thin doctrine. it is said.
may be unpopular with moderA liberalism
but that does not prove it untrue.

She is rarely to be seen at the theater; her

OF the four-footed companions OF the empress,
and at Sapetot, where she stayed for the

ABOUT WOMEN.

| Mrs. Garfield has written to friend at
! Washington complaining of the unauthorized
publication of biographies and portraits of
the late president, with unfounded claims
that they have her special approval.
Mrs Henry, widow of the late Prof Henry,
of the Smithsonian Institution, died on Sat
urday afternoon at Washington. She leaves
three daughters. She was a woman of Gull
ture, and in scientific studies proved to be an
invaluable assistant to her husband. She is
sister of Prof. Alexander of Princeton Col
lege who was sent for and who will attend
attend the funeral,
Worldly mutation never had a more pow
erful illustration than in the death in Lon
don, the other night, of Lady Agnes Mac
Lean. She was the daughter of an English
marquis, the widow first of the Comte de
Montmorency, and afterward of a clergy
man named MacLean; and she was elected
from her poor tenement in London, and died
in the waiting-room of St. Pancras Work
house.
Mrs. Ernest Morris, who has just returned
from Brazil, where she spent the winter in
explorations with her husband, has a rather
poor opinion of the people among whom she
has been sojourning. She found the women
inane Creatures as insipid as the fruits which
flourish around them. One circumstance
which specially attracted her notice was that
every body, no matter how poor had sewing
machine.
There is good deal of difference in the
way things are put For instance, Emma
Abbott told a clergyman in Denver: "When
/ was a poor kitchen girl, and found must
wash dishes for living, resolved to wash
them better than anybody. When / became
a singer in an opera company, l resolved to
sing better than anybody in the troupe"
The clergyman was much affected. Would
he have been as much affected il Emma Ab-
bott had said: "When I became singer in
an opera company, l resolved to have no.
body in the troupe who could sing better
than could"
1t seems that woman is at the bottom of
the Herzegovina rebellion. Miss Alice
HURLEY, a beautiful female of uncertain
antecedents, made her appearance in 1879
at Serajevo, the capitol OF Bosnia, in COM
pany with an English newspaper correspond
ent, who introduced her TO everybody as his
wife. She is a diminutive creature, but of
remarkable beauty, with fine blue eyes and
light hair, cut a Ia George Sand. Her per-
sonal charms and enthusiasm in behalf of
the Bosnian cause secured her extraordinary
popularity and made her a conspicuous
figure in the revolt against Austrian rule,
which she urged with all the resources at
her command. Nikita, prince OF Motene-
gro, is said TO be infatuated with her, and
she is apparently destined to play an impor-
tant role.
HThe empress of Austria during her recent
visit in Paris accepted no Invitations. She
has no taste for festivities. She is an early
riser. and those accustomed TO take a morn
ing ride in the avenues of the Bots de Bou-
logne have frequently net her riding "NIhi
list" or "Molda," her two fayOrite horses.

At the side of this table put the fact that,
during last January and February, our ex-
ports of provisions and articles of similar
kind amounted to So, 44S,00O while during
the same time the year before they reached
the sum of nearly S3O,OOO,OOO; so that while
we are spending more we are receiving less.
In the above table we see that nearly S32,-
