troversy against his own Judgment of what
ia hest for the country.


The speech Of Senator Evarts, in Boston,
so far as it related to the silver question,
was ambiguous, with this qualification, that
it logically went to the doctrine that the
bonds of the United States ought to be paid
in gold. 1t is not possible today to say what
is the Senators position upon this question.
Senator Beck AYERS reiteratedly that Senator
Eyarts is with him; the friends OF the New
York Senator are uncertain. Now the State
of New York is overwhelmingly in favor Of
a repeal of the present law in this behalf.
Senator Eyarts, it is said, is to make clear his
views in short time. His exposition Of doc
trine will be looked for with Interest, it may
be said with some anxiety. This silver ques-
ton is burning one now; it will become
more and more important as the months go
by. AS to it, it would seem equally strange

Mr.. Carlisle, at the beginning of the last
Congress, weakly put the author of the
Bland bill at the head of this committee, the
most mischievous and discouraging selection
possible. In reappointing him he repeats
and intensifes the fault. All circumstances
but those which should have least consider

as begins to appear, of undesired good for
tune, their President is one of those rare
Democrats who believes it savors OF dlshQ Of
people as a dollar a coin which is worth less
than eighty cents. Mr.. Carlisle might have
taken sides with this wisdom and honor but
he has not. And if he has not only reap
pointed Mr.. Bland, but, as is reported, has
packed the committee to perpetuate the
wrong Of the present silver soinage,. he mas
done what he could to thwart the wise anu

In response to a toast to the Navy at the

Wednesday night Congressman Boutelle
voiced the views Of the minority of the
House no doubt, when he said that they
would be found encouraging all wise meas

that foreign governments had made little
progress in naval construction since the
days of the monitor, and that the United

costly and for the most part unsuccessful ex-
periments. He was confident that the new

The Pennsylvania Democrats are reported
to be very angry over the substitution of
Perry Belmont for ex-Gov. Curtin as the head
Of the committee on foreign affairs. But the
freetraders who dictated the composition of
the committees probably thought that as
somebody must be snubbed it had better be
a Pennsylvania, inasmuch as the State is
already practically solid in opposition to
their views.

1t is reported by cable that Mr. Gladstone's
consultations with his leading colleagues
have resulted in an agreement on the gener-
al features of his Irish measure. Mr.. Glad
stones bill, as finally drafted, will run large
ly on the lines of the State legislatures of
America. 1t gives Ireland real, not a
phantom, National Assembly There will be
a real Ministry, with absolute control over
public offices, public revenues and public SER
vices The Legislature will be invested with
the law-making authority. Ireland will have
her own elections and elect her own Legis-
lature, which will pass its own laws, run its
own revenue, spend its own money. The
Imperial functions will be similar to those of
the Federal Congress, namely, control over
the army, navy, external relations, customs,
the internal revenue question. Irish repre-
sentation in the Imperial Parliament is I'M
decided, but Mr.. Gladetone is stat
ed to be in favor of local and fed
eral representation as in America He
does not share T. p. O'Connor's apprehen-
sions of Irish difficulties in the Imperial Par
lament He looks with confidence to the re-
straining influence of parties in the Irish
National Assembly to guard the national
and imperial interests. The bill provides
for redistribution of the Irish seats. 1t
Will be seen that Mr.. ParnelPs Grattan Par
lament scheme and Z. P. O'Connor's COLO
NAL plan are alike rejected in favor OF a
modification of the American legislative sys-
TEN, adapted to geographical and ethnologi-
cal conditions. The Dublin Castle Bureauc-
racy is to be swept away and leave no trace.
One part Of o'Connor's colonial plan is like
ly to be adopted, namely, the appointment
of Viceroy. 1t is believed that the Duke
of Connaught would be the most acceptable
Viceroy attainable The Duke is popular.

A few months ago the owners of Atlantic
steamers were given painful shock by the
news that there were more than dozen
abandoned hulks floating about the Atlantic,
most of them laden with lumber, and float
ing deep in the water so as to prove as dang
erous as rock to any steamer that might
chance to come in collision with one of them
1t is now the turn of the owners of steamers
plying in the Mediterranean to lie awake,
for new and hitherto unbeard-of danger
threatens their vessels in the shape of tor
pede which broke loose from its moorings on
the coast of Africa and is now floating plac-
idly about, just under the surface of the deep
blue sea, seeking whom it may blow up.

The complexion of the coinage committee
as regards the silver question seems to be a
matter of doubt. Of course the views of the
chairman are well known, but majority of
the committee are new men who have not
committed themselves publicly, at least.
Congressman Warner, one Of the champions
of silver, does not like the committee, but on
other hand, neither do the champions of the
other side. The complexion of the commit
tee is, however, matter of little conse-
quence. In the present state of public senti-
ment it viii hardly take the responsibility of
sitting measure to repeal the coinage law,
and report from it on one side or the
other will not have much effect on Congress.

Congressman Grout of Vermont, proposes
to introduce into the House bill providing
that no person shall be appointed as post
master of the fonrth class except upon the
Endorsement of a majority of the voters of
the vicinity for which the postoffice is pro-
vided. Mr.. Circuit claims that this plan
would prevent office brokerage, would multi
fly the influence of the fourth class postoffi-
ces in presidential and congressional elect
ions, and would secure the appointment of
persons satisfactory to the patrons of the
postoffices. The fourth class postoffices are
in his opinion not only the federal appoint
ments which come nearest to the people, but
are the most demoralizing element in politics.
Heproposes that the popular mass meeting
be held ct fourth class postotfices upon the
expiration of the term of a postmaster, OF the
creation Of vacancy, and that nomination
be made and approved by majority of the
voters who are patrons of the office. Mr..
Grout is in doubt as to whether his PROPOSE
ton will necessitate constitutional amend
ment or can be accomplished by bill. He
does not regard it as taking the appointing
power from the Postmaster General, mas
much as that official will have discretion to
reject the nomination made by majority of
the patrons Of a postofice and to insist upon
new names if he sees fit.

At meeting of the National Divorce Re
form League in Boston this week Secretary
Dixie reported that the new law in Maine had
more than justified the anticipation of its
friends. 1t had diminished divorces to one
half what they were before. The work accom-
pIished in MANY other States was satisfactory.
But for all this, he added, there is tendency
to the increase of divorces steadily pressing
against the barriers of law, and public opin-
ion has to be constantly educated to repel this
pressure. Mr. Dixie believed that to do this
effectively one must go back of legislative re-
form and inquire into the social conditions
that. affect divorces and put his hand on the
evils at their source. These hidden causes
can only be reached by investigation. If
Congress and the states will provide for a
disclosure of the facts recorded in the work
of the courts, legislation can proceed intelli-
gently and therefore wisely. Mr.. Dixie al
luded to the need of ascertaining the statis-
tics of divorce in those European countries
which send large numbers of emigrants to
this country. This and the whole subject Of
the domestic morals of emsgrants demand in
vestigation, and the government can alone
undertake successfully much of the work.

Store Burned.

The store house of Mrs Eliz ,beth Thomp-
kins, at Port Tobacco Station on the b. T.
r. R., was entirely consumed by fire on Mon
day night last together with its contents in-
ficting heavy and severe loss on the widow
lady whose entire maintenance and that OF her
two he pless and invaded children depended
on the small income derived from the store.
There seems to be little doubt but that the fire
was Of incendiary origin as there vas nothing
of a combuStible nature in the store aud no
light had been there the day previous About
midnight on the night of the fire Mr.. 5. IL.
Morris, Who resides a short distance from the
station, was awakened by the furious barking
of his dogs, and looking in the direction OF the
store he saw a dim light through the window,
but surprising it to be Mrs. Thompklns herself
he made himself easy and again retired. The
next morning when he awoke he found the
store in ashes. The superstition is that the
store WAS first catered by burglars who, after
having secured what booty they could carry,
set fire to the building; the isolation and quiet
ness of the neighbornood rendering the task
OF robbing the burning the store an easy one,
There was no insurance on either building or
stock Though the intrinsic value of the less
is not great, still it being the all of the widow ed
propristress, the loss is one from which she
cannot easily recover. TIE heartless wretches
who would be guilty OF SO dastardly deed
should, if found, and we hope they may be, be
dealt with severely and summarily.
