THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Mr.. RandaIl's Methods of EIectiOneerine
His Punic Faith.


Washington Special Ne,o York World, esd.
John E. Kenna, Democrat, was re.
elected Representative of the Third dis.
trict, West Virginia, last fall by a ma
jOrity of 4,516. He was subsequently
chosen to succeed Henry G. Davis in the
Senate. At the recent election to fill this
vacancy the Democratic majority fell off
two-thirds, and for time the Republican
candidate was supposed to have carried
the district.
just before that election Samuel j.
Randall made visit to his personal and
political friend Kenna, "t0 look after
some lands" in that State. His real OBJ
ject was to, look after the vote of Kenna's
successor for the Speakership. His pres
ence there seems to have nearly defeated
the Democrats.
Mr.. Randall's methods of direct bar
gaining for places on committees may
win with a certain class of politicians.
who are willing to put up votes against
promises of perferment. But they will
lose in the long run, when these things
are found out.
Benjamin Wilson, late member from
the First district of West Virginia. had
some experience with Mr.. Randall when
the latter was last candidate for Speak
er. He knows the value of prOffered
pledges then made by Randall, and he has
not made a secret of that knowledge in
the State or outside of it.
The Speakershlp is one of the highest
offices under the government and one of
the most responsible. Mr.. Randall used
its power as a despet to reward followers
and to punish O2hn3PIneIts. Democrats
have constantly deIE Shced the electoral
act as unconstitutional, and they have as
sailed Southern Democrats for not filibus-
tering against it's execution.
That act never could have passed with
out the active aid of Mr.. Randall, who
made a point in the Chair, when there
was no necessity for it, to cast mis- vote in
the affirmative. He brought down the
galleries by that gFatuitOus demonstra-
tion, Mr., Randall represents the extreme
protection idea.
Mr.. Randall also represents the worst
type of American politics. He is a speoi,
men Of the Pennsylvania school of tpoli-
ticians, of which Simon Cameron may be
called the founder and of which Don
Cameron is now the chief director.
MIR, Randall cannot be elected Speaker
under existing conditions, but if it were
possible to put him in the Chair by anv of
the combinations for which he is ALWAYS
ready the Democratic party might as
well hang its harp on the willow and re-
nOunce the Presidency in 1884 as an un-
attainable ambition.

MIR. Davis Recovering.


A party who has just come in from
BeauvOir says that Jefferson Davis is now
rapidly recovering his health, and is able
to sit up in chair part of the time. His
sickness is attributed to the fact that dur

upon the overflow of the Yazoo lands some
weeks ago, he visited his plantations there
and became infected with the malaria.
Instead of prompt treatment, however,
he came to New Orleans to share in the
festivities attendant upon the wedding of
the daughter of his dearest friend, Mr.. j.
V. Payn, and the Over-exertion brought

THE POPE's CIRCULAR.
What the Head of the Catholic Church
Thinks of the ParneII Fund,
Dbsyo6s1oJs. D.,

In view of the opposition manifested
among many Catholics, not only in this
country but abroad, relative to the orders
issued by Pope Leo XIII. respecting the
ParneIl fund, the following will be of in
terest to all members of the faith and
the friends of Ireland, as it is a copy of
the circular issued by the Holy See on the
llth instant to the Irish Bishops:
Whatever may be the case as regards
MIR. Parnell himself and his objects, it is
at all events proved that many of his fol-
lowers have on many occasions adopted a
line of conduct in open contradiction to
the rules laid down by the Supreme
fontln IN his letter to the Cardinal Arch
bishop of Dublin, and contained in the
instructions sent to the Irish Bishops by
THIS Sacred Congregation, and unani-
mOusly accepted by them at their recent
meetlng at Dublin. 1t is true that, ac-
cOrdlng TO those Instructions it is lawful
lOr the Irish to seek redress for their
grievances and to strive for their rights:
but always at the same time observing
the Divine maxim to seek first the king
dom of God and His justice, and remem-
Derlng also that it is wicked to further
any cause, no matter how just, by illegal
means.

A NAVAL CADETS MISFORTUNE
Charged with KleptOmania-He is Sent
to the Hospital.

A most unfortunate case of kleptOmania
has been brought to light at the Naval
Academy which may result in the uIti-
mate dismissal of one of the ''star'' men,
bers of the first class, 1t appears that
for some time past the cadets have
been missing from their rooms articles
of wearing apparel, trinkets, etc. 1t
was supposed that they had been
stolen by some of the cOlOred en-
plOyes, and some had even been dis
charged on this account. But lately sus-
picion fell upon Cadet Bowman, of Michi-
gan, member of the graduating class,
which was promptly reported to the au-
thOrities. 1t was not deemed eXpedient
to act, however, without further proof.
and in the meantime quiet watch was
instituted. 1t was ascertained Thursday

express office, where it was carried. and
the box was returned to the academy
under authority of the cOmmandant of
cadets. 1t was opened in the
presence of Lieutenants Potter, Man,

the latter did not deny that some of the
contents did not belong to him; in fact,
his strange demeanOr led those present
to believe that his mind was affected.
Bowman was relegated to the hospital for
further orders. He is bright young man,
standing No. in the first class, and much
sympathy is expressed for him. 1t is be.
lieved he will either be dismissed or
allowed to resign. 1t was stated that a
pistol had been taken from him. Fearing

the payment of the interest and amortiza-
