WASHINGTON, March 1T.-Secretary
Lamar has been revelation to his near
est friends since he became an executive
officer. There was hope rather than an
expectation that he would be able to
grapple with the details of the Interior
Department. Not only has he done it
successfully, but without any assistance.
His Assistant Secretary, Mr.. Clarke, of
Mississippi, came On, took the oath Of
office, and straightway went to work to
illustrate Mississippi swamp fever. He
has been confined to his hotel and shak-
ing with chills ever since he got to
Washington. This has left Secretary
Lamar to do the work of two. He has
managed to do it, and the folks who ex-
pected to find the new Secretary seated
at his desk poring over Pindar aud Horace
and letting the department run itself
have been astonished. He has kept the
clerks on the jump ever since he has been.
in office, and most OF them has done the
best weeks work they ever did in their
lives.

PLAIN WORDS.

A Liberal Organ Causes a Sensation in
London by Editorial Remarks about
Ireland.
LONDON, March ia great sensation
was caused in the Commons lobby this
evening by an editorial in the Echo, which
is owned and edited by Liberal member
of Parliament, strongly indorsing the
Dublin Corporation in its attitude of neu-
trality to the Princes visit. The express
siOns used were: ''ro us it seems that the
Dublin Corporation has taken the only
manly, dignitied course open to it. Better
far that it should take no active part in
the coming festivities than to assist and
deceive the future ruler OF Ireland by hol-
low professions Of loyalty. Ireland is not
loyal. Give the Irish a fair chance of
success and they would he in rebellion
tomorrow. We hold Ireland as we hold
Egypt and India, by the terror of our
arms. Let England be in conflict with
some great power and one great defeat
would be followed by an Irish rising"
This is said to be the first time any Eng
lish paper has INDUCED in such plain talk.
