IT is stated in Philadelphia that there
will be considerable opposition to the
nomination of General Beaver as the
Republican candidate for Governor next
year. This opposition grows out of the
fact that during the recent agitation of

acted s president of meeting a, Belle

DANIEL O'CONNELL was called the
''un-crowned king OF Ireland" because
of the acknowledged influence he exerted
over IIish public opinion In political af
fairs: Mr. Parnell, however, seem to
have q better title to the app llation
than ever O'Connell had, because he has
accomplished results i'll Ireland which
O'Cuuuell never contemplated. or hav
ing attempted wOSld have failed. As
is well known, Mr.. Parnell has set be-
fore himself the task Of electing be-
tween seventy five aud ninety Home
Rule members of Parliament from Ire
land, to stand by him in the renewed
and still more aggressive struggle Re
intends making in the House OF Com
mons for justice to the Irish people. In
order thus TO strengthen bis hands the
Irish NatinnaIists. by common consent,
have permitted Mr. Paruell to name the
candidates he wants elected in every
county in Ireland. and in every instance
but one they have ratified his choice.
This one instance occurred ia the Cnun
ty LOuth on last Friday, but whether
the disagreement remains to-day we
cannot state. No public man in anv
country was ever before invesr ed with
, such tremendous power. nor has any
other public man ever been able in the
same supreme degree to gather around
7 himself the absolute, uncondit iona
/ confidence of his couniTymen. Il is Il
| most singular spectacle. and con d only
/ have taken place in a country whose
| people have been the down trOddPn
f victims of centuries Of oppression.

TOWARD the close Of last week it was
definitely settled by some Of the leading
Republican newspapers in the State,
that Governor PattIsOn was seriously
thinking about calling an extra session
of the Legislature to consider the i'm.

railroad discrimination and the equal.
zation Of taxation. The Governor.
however. in order to put the matter at
rest. publicly announced: "Thers will
be DO extra session. No reasons exist
for one. " There may be, and we have
no doubt are good many members Of
the last session who would like TO re-

upon Governor Pattisou for signing the
tax bin IT the last session, states that
the Governor looked with disfavOr Oh
the act, and had not the Auditor General
and State Treasurer represented to him
that it would yield about one million of
dollars a year to the public treasury, he
would have vetoed it. According to
the same correspondent the Governor

ACCORDING to reporter who recent
lv interviewed Rev. Burchard, whose
Rum. Romauism and Rebellion -
speech at the Fifth Avenue IN. "
Hotel, is held by most Republicans to
have defeated Blaine in New York and
thereby decided the Presidential contest
In favor Of Cleveland, that rash and i'm
puls:ve pulpit orator states that be felt
very badly at first that he should have
been the means of causing Blaibe's de-
feat. but that after some time he began
70 investigate BIalne's record in Con
gress and had become convinced that
Blaine was not e man 10 be elected
President. He could, therefore, only
regard himself as simply The means in
the hands of an all.w:se Providence to
defeat man who ought never to be
elected All this may satisfy Butchard,
but it will cause Blaine's friends to
heap additional curses upon his he'd.

Of the magnitude Of the business trans
acted under the Postoffice monev order
system. Il was established in 1866 and
during that year the 766 offiees author
lied to issue money orders, did busi-
ness amounting TO about four millions
Of dollars. During last year the mum
Der of Offices had increased to 1855, and
the orders issued amounted to one hun

The fees received for doing this large
amount of business were about 1925 600
which of course left a very large margin
to the government.
