institutions of the country would simply be

institutions of the country would simply be
incalculable.
Mr.. Gladstone now says that if the tenant
farmers bill, introduced by the government,
be defeated, the government will ask for the
dissolution of Parliament and will appeal to
the country.
The threat is remarkable and will no doubt
be carried out. To-day's coalitions show that
a force is being organized that will defeat the
bill. The extreme Radicals and the Conserva-
tives to-day formed an alliance to oppose the
measure. The Radicals give as their reason
that the terms of the bill are too moderate.
The opposition of the Conservatives who APP
prove the leading features of the bill, is based
on the principle that they ought to oppose
the bill as a party. This Radical Conserve
tive alliance Is complete, and the members
have already adopted a programme. MIR.
Howard, lately president OF the Radical
Farmers Alliance, has been selected as the
on its second reading in the Commons. Mr..
Barclay, the representative of the Scotch
Farmers Alliance, will second the motion.
The Parnell party, at meeting to-day. de-
cided to act with the Radicals and Conserva-
tives without joining them, in voting against
the bill. They do not hesitate to say that
the sole motive of their opposition will be to
defeat the government and secure new
election, which, they say, will increase their
representation. The Irish party is we'll
enough organized now to throw its entire
vote with any faction, and their determine
ton to act with the Tories on the present
government measure shows the faith they
have in their prospects in new election.
With them henceforth the motto will be,
Anything to beat the government"

The President has no sooner disposed of
the civil-service rules than he has decided to
lay before the cabinet the much more deli
cate task Of pruning down the internal reve-

Folger will lay before him on Monday a
proposition to abolish certain districts,
whereby the number of collectors will be
reduced from 126 to about 50. This reduc-
ton will involve a great many sweeping
changes. Several of the States have only
one district now, and these, of course, will
not be touched. The consultations, how
ever, will wipe out one collector in Massa-

LEGATION in reference 10 the general order
which summarily dismissed him from the
army for giving descriptive list OF man in
his company to an unauthorized person gives
only part of the story. The facts in the
case are, they say that just previous to his
dismissal he had been promoted to a second
lieutenanancy from a corporal upon COM
petitive examination and given command of
the company. A young man in his company
soon after died, and his father, also in Ly-
mans company, requested permission to
take the body of his son home, and the per-
mission was granted. He also asked for a
descriptive list of his son, and Lieutenant
Lyman, then only nineteen years old, follow
ing the advice of older officers in the regi-
ment, gave it to him. When the facts be-
came known to the disbursing officer they
were reported to the War Department and
an order was issued dismissing him. After
Lyman's appointment to a clerkship in the
Treasury Department the order was revoked
and he was honorably discharged.

how, fails to convey an impression of unity

Cimbria Disaster
BERLIN, May 12.-At Hamburg, at to-day's
session of the court of inquiry into the dis
aster to the steamer Cimbria, the President
announced that the Senate had rejected the
courts proposal. The inquiry into the con-
dition of the Cimbria and the position of
the vessel after sinking was argued by Advo-
cate Hueber. Captain Cuttill, of the Sultan,
was in no way to blame for the collision
which resulted so fatally. Advocate SIAM

Cimbria, contended that he could not be held
responsible for the disaster, and said third
steamer was certainly present before the two
vessels were in collision, as those on the Sui
tan saw a green and red light simultaneously
At the conclusion OF the arguments the
court appointed a committee to inquire into

AS announced elsewhere by tho chair
man of the county committee, the Dem
ocrats of this county will vote on Satur-
day afternoon between the hours of 3
and 7 o'clock for delegates to the con
vention which meets here next Tuesday.
AS there are only the offices of District
Attorney and County Surveyor to be
filled this year, there is likely to be a
feeling of apathy that will prevent the
polling of full vote. This ought not
to be the case. Every Democrat should
make it his duty to go to the polls and
signify his choice, and that without be-
ing influenced by any individual, or
faction. The Office of District Attorney
is one of importance, as the duty of
seeing that criminals are properly pun
ished devolves upon him, and hence the
safety and good order of society de.
pends upon the proper administration
of the position. When but compara-
lively few attend the delegate election
the friends of defeated candidates are
liable to complain that the successful
ones are not the nominees of the party,
but only of small portion of it, and
this leads to dissatisfaction and differ.
