THE Republican majority in the New

Governor, Leon Albeit. of the power to
appoint District Court Judges, the mem.

other State officers, AID empowering the

they succeed in accomplishing their pur-
pose every one Of the officers named Will,
Of course, be filed by a Republican,

Republican officehoiders IN this State. as

Collector of Customs at Philadelphia
who was only recently appointed, is
said to have discharged fifteen of his
Republican employees and flled their
places with Democrats, and Gen. Hui

Huidekoper's dodge to retain his office
IS peculiarly rich and racy from the fact
that he offered a resolution in the Union
League last faH for the appointment of
"a Committee to investigate Grocer

and ths Post master belong to that class
of officeho,ders described by Mr.. Cleve-

current in Catholic circles is that the
COadjutOT Bishop of the Pittsburgh and

convinced but persuaded him. His
chum was the late Father Morgan.
After due consideration both became
Catholics. Rev. Father Denny went TO
Rome, completed his studies under the
Propaganda. and was there ordained a
priest. He sIguified his intention of
joining the Jesuit Ord9r. To-day he is
one OF the iilustUiOus teachers for the
Jesuits ia Maryland. He has the talent.

IN the State Senate on Monday last a
resolution was adopted requesting the
Governor TO designate day as ''ArBor
Day, - and by proclamation invite school
children and others TO plant trees on
the day tbUs set forth. For several
years ''Arbor Day. has been an estab-
Eshed institEUi0n IN many of the West

comes up in The House we suggest to
Mr.. Horne ana Mr.. Gates, the two Rep

IN the English House of Commons on
last Monday morning Mr.. Gladstone, in
answer TO questions regarding the set
tlement Of the boundary line between
Russia and Afghanistan, said that an
amicaOle agreement had been arrived at
between the Russian and English gov
eruments. This announcement removes
the threatening aspect of war between
John Bull and the Russian Bear, which,
If 1t bad ever broken out, would have
involved several other European Pow
ers in the conflict, and caused a good
many Kings, Potentates and Princes to
turn their attention to SONS other bust

Mr.. PARNELL has issued q manifes-
TO advising the cities and towns of Ire
land to observe a respectful neutrality
regarding the approaching visit Of the
Prince of Wales. AS a true Irishmau
knows no half way house, either in
his love for his own country or in his
hatred Of England, It is not likely that
Mr.. Paruell's advice will command the
same respect and obedience in this in
stance that has usually been accorded to
it on other occasions and in regard to
other matters. From an ITishman's
standpoint the Prince of Wales repre-
sents everything thai is associated with
centuries OF red-handed tyranny, sys-
tematic misTuie and heartless oFprss-
sion Of that unfortunate. but brave.
gallant and EeneroUs-hearted people.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND,

LONDON. March 1.-THE Standard
says the agreement between England
and Russia leaves the essence of the
difficulty untouched. Things must have
been bad when such an agreement was
paraded as a diplomatic gain. Many
consider tie pause in the situation as
preclude to a surrender.
The NelrS still fears for the result eff
the negotiations between England and
Russia, and is doubtful of peaceful
solution. 1t says: - 1t often happens
that some fatality occurs to prevent
Russia from keeping her promisss--w
American statesmen used to call - man
ifest destiny.'
The terms of the arrangement with
Russia, as they have been explained by
Mr., Gladstone, met with nothing but
denunciation from the Conservatives.
Even among the sturdiest friends the
Government has among the Liberals
the agreement Ia not cordially received.
The Liberal press in general admit that
the arrangement is virtual surrender
to Russia of the frontier demanded. On
the other hand, there are numerous ev-
idences chat the Government has no idea
that peace has been secured.
The preparations for war are many,
and OD "A most extensive scale. An i'm
mense military transport fleet is being
rapidly collected en- the Thames, at
Portsmouth and at Plymouth. The size
of this fleet far exceeds any possible
needs of a SOudan campaign. The
Woolwich Arsenal workshops are being
hurriedly enlarged by the erection of
temporary structures. The wOTkmen
in this arsenal are now on double time,
engaged in preparing and packing NUM-
tlOuS of war.
General Sir Peter Lumsden, the Brit
ish Commissioner of the Afghan from
tier line, has again changed his camp.
This time he has fixed it at ZuTabut, on
the Persian side of the Herri- Rood
Sir Peters present position is IN the
rear of the Russian advanced outposts.
AS Russia claims that these outposts
are inside the boundary line claimed by
Russia, Sir Peters present position has
been made the subject of an official rep
Tesentation to the British Government,
Baron de Stahl, the Cars Ambassador
to England, has asked the British Gov
ernment to order Lumsden's s camp to be
removed within undisputed Afghan ter
ritory. This request has been refused,
and Sir Peter has been instructed to
keep his present position and to main
tain from it communication with the
Afghans stationed at RObat Pass.
On the recommendation of Earl Duff
feTiu, present VicerUy of India, large
grants have been accorded from the In
dia treasury to AbduTTahman, Ameer
of Afghanis.an, for the purpose of put
ting into a state of complete repair the
forts of his territory, and particularly
those of Herat. This work of repair is
to be done under the supervision of Eng
Hsh engineers, and the additional guns
needed by the Notifications in Afghan
istan are to be supplied from WOOlwich.
These and other indications convince
Obs6Tvant EHglishmen that a struggle
between England and Russia has been
merely averted temporarily.
