of the Judiciary of the District of Column

Manager Albaugh, OF Washington and
Baltimore, has had his safe robbed of

carry their cash in the most careless way,
but always wear such a look of confident
security that the thief is afraid to tackle
them.

where he can feed on celery, is a darling
Otherwise he is no better than any other
duck.
He should be put on a spit before an
open hickory fire and roasted twelve
minutes, first turning him close to the
fire to toast the skin and keep in the
juices. His proper and sole companions

Mr. Chamberlain, in his speech at the
Birmingham liberal council says Of Lord
Churchhilrs resignation:
Now, gentlemen, in view Of this start
ling change, ask myself what are the
Gladstonians going to do? 1t seems to
me they have great, and perhaps final
opportunity We Liberals agree upon
ninety-nine points and disagree upon
only one point Even upon Irish mat
tiers, when | look into the thing, ! am
more surprised AZ the number of points
whereOn we are agreed than at the remain
der, upon which for the present, we must
be content to differ. My oppo-
sition to Mr.. Gladstone's bill has
been grossly misrepresented never said
that ! was opposed TO the great land
scheme | opposed the Gladstone bill
mainly upon two grounds. First, | be-
lieyed it would involve loss which the
British taxpayers ought not TO bear; sec
Ond, | was not prepared TO do anything
preluding an arrangement TO make Ire
land practically Independent. 1t is one
thing to use all the resources of the State
to benefit your fellow citizens it is diff
ferent thing altogether to undertake
risk for those about to drift from you.
But never doubted that it was possible
to devise plan for the settlement of the
land question. ! am convinced that any
of the three Liberal leaders can soon ar
range a scheme which, without throwing
an unfair risk on the British taxpayer,
will in short time make the Irish tenant
the owner of the land he cultivates."
