The House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, April f.. Mr. Anderson for
the committee on public lands reported bill
to provide for the adjustment on the land
grants made by congress to aid the construc-
tions of railroads in the state of Kansas
placed on the house calendar.
The morning hour was dispensed with, and
the house went into committe on the whole,
Mr.. Wellborn in the chair, on the Indian ap-
preparation bills. The consideration bill hay
ing been concluded, the committee rose, and
the bill passed.
The house then went into committee on
the whole, Mr.. Cox, of New York, in the chair,
Oh the private calendar.
The committee remained in session long
time, considering the bill to relieve certain
soldiers of the late war from the charge of
desertion, but no final action was arrived at.
Mr.. Cook presented to the house, through the
petition box, petition signed by about fifty
citizens of Avery, Iowa, which can hardly be
termed petition, since it opened with the
words, "We, the undersigned sovereign citi-
zens, hereby command you, our servants, ~
demanding the passage of bill to construct
a double track of steel railway from New
York to San Francisco, and declaring that
not another dollar should be lent the national
banks or squandered in canals The house
took recess until 7:30 this evening". The
session was for the consideration of pension

The Annual Meeting of the American
Association Umpires.
Especial Telegram to the Glob

Special Telegram to the Globe
COLUMBUS, o., April 3.-In pursuance to
the call issued by Secretary Wikoff, the Ame-
rican association base ball umpires, John
Kelly, Geo. T. Seward, John Daily, Terrence
G. Connell, John Brennan and j. G. Valen-
tine, met in this city yesterday. Charles E.
Daniels was excused from the meeting and
J. McQuaid failed to arrive in time to attend.
AS there are always few rules which are
capable of one or more constructions, the as
sociation has wisely provided these annual
meetings, so that all points liable to give rise
to discussions can be settled, thus avoiding
dissention after the season opens, with a
few exceptions the rules were constructed the
same as last year. In paragraph :, rule 4S,
which reads that eff batsman be hit solid
" by ball from the pitcher when he eyi-
dently cannot avoid the same, he shall be
given his base by the umpire as a penalty,
1t was construed as follows: ''f batsman
be solidly hit by ball when he evidently can
not avoid the same, the pitcher shall be nned
by the umpire not less than 50 nor more
than SO as a penalty for such an offense."
The only other important change was ia par
agraph 5, rule so, which provides that "a
base-runner is out, II, alter
seven balls or fair hit he fails to run to first
base" This was changed as follows: ''Ihat
after three strikes, seven balls, or falr nlt,
he must run to first base" By such construc-
ton the out club has chance to make
double plays on three strikes. 1t was thought
by the empires that that would be great I'M
provement over the rule of last season, and
give an opportunity for some brilliant plays.

does not sincerely believe. If he ever enter
tanned the opinion of Mr. Blaine which
Mr.. Beecher says he expressed seven years
ago, he is the last man to have nominated Mr..
Blaine for the presidency, as he did four years
ago in the Chicago convention, or to come to
his support now No man who knows James
F. Joy will challenge this for a moment
while the exactness of Mr. Beecher's memory
cannot be depended upon, as he himself has
said under OATH and his aptitude for high
colors in thought and expression is well
known. The concluding part of Mr.. Beechers
letter is unworthy and contemplate He
seems to imagine himself sort of pope, and
pronounces the major accommodation
against Mr.. Joy with all the complacency of
a Gregory OF Julian. The contrast between
Mr.. Joy and Mr.. Beecher in public or private
life, in business affairs or as letter writer's is
vastly in favor of Mr.. Joy.

THE CONSCIENCE OF THE COUNTRY.

Thh OG LID OOON1
A moro remarkable meeting than that at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel, yesterday, when more
than q thousand ministers called on Mr.. and
Mrs. Blaine, has probably never been held in
the history of the Nation. The exciting days of
the war produced no parallel, and never has
political candidate received such Endorsement
from the Christian pulpit The fact that
hundreds and thousands of preachers are thor
oughly wrought up to the issue of this cam
pagn only proves that the unprecedented
outrages perpetrated on Mr.. Blaine and his
family for the purpose of drawing attention
Democratic party at the bidding of Republican
free traders, cannot blind the thinking people
of this Republic to the awful disgrace that
would attend the election of Cleveland and
Hendricks. With marvellous and commenda-
BILE plainness of speech, the ministers there
gathered declared that such result would be
an insult to Christian civilization and pre-
MUM on disloyalty. The truthfulness of this
arraignment is so apparent that its force
will be irresistible. The indictment
will be sustained by every honorable,
every patriotic citizen, not drowned in the
meanest prejudice. This great Nation has no
need of a man with social record like that Of
Grover Cleveland. This Republic has no use
for man with a war record like that Of
Thomas A Hendricks. With such men at
the head of affairs civilservice reform would
be a farce, and the social evil would fortify
itself behind the executive mansion. From
the infinite depths of such an awful disgrace
the Nation must be delivered. Through all
the unreasonable calumniation heaped about
Mr. Blaine, even to piling it on his hearth
stone and upon the grave of his dead child,
the people have patiently and thoughtfully
waded, their indignation rising with each step
until now it finds vent in burst of con
demnation never before witnessed. None but
those whose duty from day to day it has been to
meet and stem the tide of malicious Islander
which Blaine has so patiently and 50 grandly
breasted, can have any adequate idea of its
utter shamelessness and the wholesale disre-
gard of the commonest principles of decency
and honor Lie exposed has been followed
by lie invented almost hourly. But through
all this systematic and persistent mendacity
the people have not lost sight of Cleveland,

BHECHER AND JOY.

We reproduce the letter of Mr.. Beecher in
reply to Mr. Joy, which was omitted yesterday
from the Journal through inadvertence. We
are specially anxious that Mr. Beechers dis
courteous, incorporate, unmanly language
shall be seen by all our readers, and cont,asted
with the plain, dignifed and courteous words
used by Mr.. Joy. Mr.. Beecher has reputa-
ton for not only bad memory, but for tam.
pering with the truth merely for the love of
it. His temperament is exuberant and given
to exaggeration. That is stating the case as
mildly as possible, with due respect to his
character as man and a minister. On the
contrary Mr.. Joy is a man of affairs a cool,
plain, hard-headed, quiet undemonstrativeb bust
ness man; one whose word to the syllable can
be relied upon, and man who can neither be

THE STATE TREASURER,

Word has gone out from Democratic head
quarters that Roger r. Shiel, the Republican
candidate for State Treasurer, must be de-
feated at all hazards. The reason assigned is
that he is an Irishman, and the Irshmen must
be taught lesson to punish them for their
wholesale detection from the Democratic party.
To this end, every Islander and falsehood i'm
aginable has been started against Mr.. Shiel.
Particularly has the exploded lie of his atti-
tude toward the late telegraph strike been
worked with the utmost vigor. That has been
shown to be Democratic roorback,
engineered in the labor Organizations by
Democratic members the expense of
which has been borne by someone else than
telegraph operators, presumably by John j.
Cooper, who would be the beneficiary if the
lie should prove injurious to Mr.. Shiel. We
know personally that in that strike Mr. Shells
sympathy and acts were on the side of the
strikers, and in the meeting held in this city
he was conspicuous and decidedly against the
telegraph monopoly.
Mr.. Shiel was gallant soldier while his
competitor was at home, He so badly
wounded by rebel bullets that he was left for
dead on the field of battle. He was in the
service from first to last, and since the close
of the war has been an honorable, progressive
business man, whose word is as good
as his bond. 'Rhody" Shiel is and
has been Republican without guile;
instant in season and out of season
in the propaganda of Republicanism. For years
he was almost the solitary representative of
Irish Republicanism in this city, yet he never
wavered, but was found where the battle was
hottest. He is worthy the confidence and
support of the people of the State.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-10-30

remarkable most for his dishonorable amours,
and Thomas A. Hendricks a rebel sympa-
thizer during the war, and a man who now has
only contempt for civil-service reform.
The conscience of the Nation is aroused
and the Republic viii be spared the humilia-
ton of having for President a man, as aptly
said by Michael Glaspy unfit to fill any
Office" The religious world is up in arms
against the proposed disgrace. Catholic, He
brew and Protestant are standing side by side
in this matter. Enlightened America can
not afford to trail her honor in the dust in the
sight of other nations. No man who has
wantonly dishonored woman can ever hope
to lead this people. The day of
Aaron Burrs is passed forever. The uni
versal sympathy that goes out to the memory
of unhappy Blennerhasset goes out as well to
the lone woman and his unfortunate son,
both dishonored and disowned by the man
now heading the Democratic ticket. Out on
the man OF men who would cry "Peace, be
stillw 1t would seem that the very stones in
the streets would cry out against such prosti-
tuition of the highest political Office under the
sun. Let those keep still who prefer the
spoils of Office to the sanctity of home and the
honor of woman. The Republican party is
made up of men whose conscience will not al
low them to keep still at such time.
