Trevelyan's statement concerning the
cruel and unpatriotic evictiors going
OH in Ireland, a statement which Mr..
Trevelyan has explained as meaning
nay, he refers to the words actually
used by him, as not only having
meant, but having expressly said
that evictions pressed at the present
moment, to deprive Irish tenants of
the advantages of the Arrears Bill
are cruel and unpatriotic to the Fee
cutive Government, as greatly increas-
ing its difficulties in the present crisis.
This statement was sharply criticised
in the House of Lords on Tuesday,
Lord Salisbury and Lord Dunraven
taking virtually the side Of the land
lords, whose difficulties, Lord Sails
bury said, Mr.. Trevelyan's words had
donemuch to increase. Perhaps so, but
the question is, whose difficulties just
now best deserve our sympathy,-the
difficulties of the Wretched evicted
tenants who are being turned out of
house and home in thousands, just in
order that the landlords may escape
the effects of the Arrears Bill, or the
difficulties Of the landlords who are
evicting them7 The Conservative
Member for Carrickfergus, who is
surely not a prejudiced judge, de-
declared himself in the same sense
as Mr.. Trevelyan, and even more
strongly. Lord Salisbury's sympa-
thies, however, always run with the
Land.
NJ. Leon Say, at a banquet given
at Bordeaux on the goth inst, stated
boldly that to-day the grand Difficult
ty of a Minister of Finance is not to
raise the taxes, but to protect the
public purse from Members who are
urging on expenditure. Their efforts
are represented even in the Budget
Committee, and the Minister instead
of ~contending with the ignorant i'm
patience of ta%xation,' has to struggle
with the ignora. t desire to tax and
spend. This disposition is visible all
over the world, and seems to accom-
pany the advance of democracy.
We presume the main reason is that
the Individual voter hopes to benefit
by expenditure more than he suffers
from extra taxation but there is an
other influence at work. The bOur-
eeoisie. who formerly ruled in all
Constitutional States, really cared
about economy as a virtue, hated
large payments for themselves, and
calculated the weight of every tax
as they calculated their household
expenditure. The workmen are freer-
handed, and in their benefit Societies
tax themselves much more readily.
They will pay "levies" with a readi-
ness which would drive shareholders
in insurance companies into a fury
of denunciation. Yet the "levies"
fall on themselves.

A revolution has, according to the
Daily Meas, broken out in Zululand.
Sir Fl. Bulwer having refused to re-
ceive the great deputation which
asked for the return Of Cetewayo, the
Zulu Chiefs have taken the matter
into their own hands. A brother of
the ex-King, named Dabuko, has res
tored the L. egimental system, occu-
pied the territories of n chief, and
driven another into the of Zlo-
bane, Lord Kimberly says he has
no information Of these events, but
he does not speak hopefully. An at
tack upon John Dunn is expected, and
if he is defeated, the Zulu kingdom
will be reconstructed upon the old
lines. The local correspondents re-
gard that prospect with horror, alleg-
ing, as usual that if any concession
Is made, more will be demanded;
but we do not see why it is our bu-

Holiday Goods.

The holiday shopping continues, and it re-
ceived a new impetus Saturday from the fact
that the department clerks had received their
semi-monthly payment the day before. Many
wended their way to Woodward & Lothrop's
where they found everything in the way
of dry goods and nick-nacks to please
them. Kid gloves of every shade, char
acter and length are speciality at, this house,
and a fit at the counter is guaranteed. Hand
some dress patterns of every fabric and color
may be had at the most alarmingly reasonable
figures, while in hosiery, ladies' underwear
and every description of dry goods their stock
is expensive and varied. In handkcrchefs,
both silk and linen, there are thousands to
choose from, while countless other articles too
numerous to mention may be found at this
extensive establishment.
glance at the well-stOcked shelves and
counters of Whtakers bookstore will show
that this gentleman, with view of catering
completely to the reading public of Wash
ington, has a full stock of holi-
day books and stationery. Their stock
consists of standard and juvenile books,
the works of all the poets in every variety of
binding, prayer-books and hymnals, bibles,
and every class of finely illustrated books.
Then there are fancy goods in Russia leather,
plush, and olive wood. Any one in search of
holiday presents could not fail to be satisfied
by paying Mr.. Whitaker visit.
The large numbers of people who visit Mr..
j. ID. Frees book emporium are earnest in
their delight and praise of the fine display of
holiday books aud Christmas cards. Some of
the cards are of extremely beautiful design
and very elaborate in finish. A more desir-
able present than an interesting book hand
somcly bound, would be hard to find, and Mr..
Free is sure to satisfy all who are in search Of
holiday presents.
The mammoth store of Messrs. Lansburgh &
Bro. is, during the approach of the holidays,
the center of attraction, and is crowded with
the present buyers, They display use
tul presents, rs well as ornamental, at eX-
trcmely low prices Besides full stock of
dry goods of every description they have
every species of wrap which will gladden. the
feminine heart, from the modest shawl to the
fur-lincd circular and seaskin dolman. The
enterprise displayed by this firm in erecting
their present extensive establishment has
hccn fully rewarded by the increase of custom
which they have enjoyed, and ladies have
speedily found that in this store they can
find everything that ordinarily would re-
quire visit to a half-dOzen smaller houses.
Perhaps the most extensive assortment of
Christmas cards may be found at the store of
w. q. Fischer on Fifteenth street, who has
made speciality of this class of holiday gifts.
Besides these there is every class of
standard books, an extensive collection
of engravings, every variety of fancy articles
in Russia leather and plush, and a varied col

COMMISSIONER OLMsTEAD.
Irief Sketch OF the Man who is to Succeed
Maj. Morgan.

Mr.. John Frank Olmstead, the gentleman
whose name was sent to the senate yesterday
for the position of commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia, was born in Mendon Mon
roe county, N. ", September 90, 1s41, and is
consequently now Al years of age. His father
was Presbyterian clergyman, and in 1S49 he
removed with his family to Addison county,
Vermont where young Olmstcad received
good common school education. In the spring
of 1857 young Olmstead with the enterprise
that he has exhibited in his later life, went to
Chicago to make his way in the world by his
own cXcrtions. Here he remained until
curly in 1861, when he accepted
position as teller in bank in
New York city. He soon gained the conf
dcncc Of the directors of the bank and
was looked upon as young man who
would make his mark. He was intensely
patriotic, however, at the breaking out
of the war, and in August, 1861, enlisted
as a private in the 9TH New York ar
tillcry. This regiment was stationed at Balt-
more and Mr.. Olmstead was detailed for cleri-
cal duty i'll the quartermastcr's department
of the Sth army crops. From these head
quarters he was ordered to duty a clerk in
the war department, where he served out his
enlistment Upon his discharge Mr.. Ohm
stead entered into the real estate and claim
business in this city, but subsequently
abandoned the prosecution of claims and de-
devoted his attention principally to real
estate about which he is probably
a3 well posted us any man in the district. In
this business Mr.. Olmstead amassed a COM
Portable fortune, so that the salary attached
to the cOmmisSiOnership is not an inducement
for his acceptance. Mr.. Olmstcad has also
been engaged in other enterprises, having
been the president of the Columbian Bank
Note company, and director in the Mutual
Union Telegraph company, He recently
married a daughter of Mr.. Hayward NJ
= Hutchinson. Mr.. Olmstead has always
been warmly interested in the i'm
provement of the national capital, and is
thoroughly familiar with the needs of the
district. He has fine business qualifications
and will, it is believed from his known exec
O utive capacity make an excellent commits
sioner. In politics Mr.. Olmstead is pro-
noun ced republican.
