Belief that Fehrenbatcil Will Finally Secure
the Place.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. &-"The labor commits
sionership controversy has been the queerest
conglomeration of muddles that has occurred
under the present administration, said Penn
sylvania member to day. First John Jarrett
was appointed and confirmed Then the Presi-
dent concluded to withhold his commission, and
about three months ago he determined to offer
the place to Carroll d. Wright of Massachusetts.
That gentleman considered the matter, and
decided not to take it The President then
allowed Mr. Fehrenbatch, of Cincinnati, to be-
lieve that he should have the Office. Fehren-
batch, however, became elated and Dragged too
much, and, before he was appointed, the
President was literally flooded by applications
and appeals from the Knights Of Labor and
other organizations. There were no less than
seventeen applicants from Pennsylvania alone
Finally the pressure became too heavy, and Mr..
Arthur called upon Carroll d. Wright once
more. That gentleman said he would accept the
place and would select good man for chief clerk
and resign on the 4th of March, provided Cleve-
land would appoint the man he (Wright) wanted.
Mr.. Wright visited Cleveland and has not vet
been heard from. 1t is believed however, that
the plan has fallen through and that Fehrenbatch
will after all get the place. am informed on
good authority that it is definitely settled"

PARNELL AS A POLITICIAN.
The AdrOit Manner in Which He Suppressed
the Revolt in ripperary.

the Revolt in ripperary.
LONDON, JAM 8-Mr Parnel has crushed the
Tipperary revolt with his customary adroitness
He went from Dublin to Thures this morning
in a special train, which had its engine gayly
decorated with flags and evergreens, the greens,
of course, being predominant. He was accom-
panied by staff of brilliant and pugnacious ora
tors, of whom Messrs. O'Brien, Mayne and Ham
ilton were the most prominent Mr.. Parnell,
however, had wired message from Dublin to
his manager at Thurles, directing that there
should not be any public demonstration of well
come. When Mr.. Parnell and his heutenants
arrived at the railway station at Thurles, they
found oDly.a small committee to take charge of
them, and little or no enthusiasm was
shown. Mr.. Parnell took a slight repast
and drove off to see Archbishop Croke, with
whom he had a long conference. He was
next driven to the inn which Mr.. ORyan, the
opposition nominee, has made his headquarters
Mr. Parnell and Mr.. Organ were coseted for
fifteen minutes. BY this time the recalled con-
vention was in session. and Mr. Parnell proceed
ed to the hall in which it was sitting. The scene
upon Mr. Parnels entrance was somewhat dra-
matte. He came in by aside door and apparent
ly sought to hide himself behind the people on
the stage until the local statesman who was then
speaking should have concluded his remarks
But 2 shout was raised from Ine DOay or the nall
for "Parnell!" Mr.. Parnell came forward with
his hat and one glove in his hand, and, after
apoogizing to the speaker whom he had dis
placed, delivered an oraton which aroused the
audience to high pitch of enthusiasm, and
will be long remembered in Tipperary. He be-
gan humorously, but as soon as he had his hear
ers in hands he treated them tohard facts. The
gist of his argument was that the enemies OF Ire
land were gloatng over the reports which had
gone abroad of dsunion in the ranks of the Ma
tionalists and that discipline alone could pre-
serve unbroken front in Irelands parliament
airy delegation which was to encounter the ter
rife work Of the coming session. This speech
settled the matter Mr.. Organ advanced from
his place on the stage. and announced his with
drawai in favor of Mr. OConnor, who was the
original choice OF Mr. Parneil and Arch bishop

nominated by acclamation, and the motion was

siasm.

Two months hence the new President will lay
the foundation for practical, business-ke re-
vision of the tariff by the selection of mis- Cabi-
net. when the true theory Of revenue tariff

ductive industries with reduced taxation as far
as possible on all the necessares of life, with
larged free raw materials to cheaper our prod
ucts, and with every monopoly feature-of the
tariff effaced from our revenue laws will be pre-
sented to the people. regard the prospect for
safe, business like revision of the tariff by the
next Congress es better to-day than it has been
at any time in the last ten years and if the new
administration shall meet the pressing wants of
the country by an adjustment of the tariff that
will reduce revenues to the standard of the ne
cessities of the government. without shock to
the great productive industries of the Nation, it
will be exceptional in modern political history in
commanding the approval of all sections of the
country.

Organ is very young man, but hay pleasant
appearance, and evidently possesses ability. He
is very nervous, and is suffering from influenza
to such an extent as to affect his voice. He
said that he had been inclined to remain in the
field, but had yielded to the personal persuasion
of Mr.. Parnell in view of the fact that his can
didacy might jeopardize the Irish cause. There
are hints that another seat will be found for
Mr. Organ at the next general election.
Mr.. Parnell addressed meeting at Tipperary
to-day. Four years ago. he said the men of
Tipperary helped him to unfurl the banner Of
historic, and had proved Of great service service
to the Irish people. A similar point in
the history of Ireland had now been reached.
What agitation had already gained was insn-
itesimal as compared with the full reward to be
secured by it. Parnell said he believed the
great power OF the franchise, recently conferred,
would be judiciously used.

THE WISDOM OF THE sAGEs.
The Senate Decides that the Nicaragua Treaty
Shall Not Be Made Public.

Inc senate OeclOeS tnat the Nicaragua Treaty
Shall Not Be Made Public.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The Senate went into
executive session, this afternoon, for the pur-
pose OF considering the Nlcaraguan treaty, and
She committees recommended that it be ratified
The treaty was, however. not reached. The first
measure on the executive calendar was Senator
Conger's resolution, which had been reported
adversely by the committee, to make public the
text of the Nicaragua treaty, and the Senate,
after two and a half hours discussion, decided,
40 to H. not TO mako the text of the treaty public
in advance of the action of the Senate. Senator
Conger made long speech in support of his
resolution, pleading the right Of the people t0
know, and, if they choose to do so, to influence
by public expressions of opinion, the action of
the Senate in respect to the expenditure of this
enormous amount of money and the inaugura-
ton of project which involved very important
results.
Senator Van Wyck made speech setting
forth the absurdity of withholding the official
copy of paper which had already been pub
lished
Senator Edmunds was the chief speaker in op-
position to the resolution, and based
his argument upon the constitution
al right and power Of the Senate
to deal with treaties unencumbered by advice
or influence from any source; he quoted exten-
slvey from authorities upon the constitutional
powers of the Senate in this respect.
Something was said with regard to debating
treaties with open DOORS although that PROPOSE
tion was not directly involved in the pending
resolution, and the Inconvenience and annoyance
which might result shonld the opinions of SEN
ators become known in advance, was dwelt upon.
Agents of foreign governments, it was urged
might seek the influence of senators through
their constituents
Nothing occurred to indicate what action the
Senate will take in relation to the treaty.
