The Presidents Antipathy to Disseminators
of the Maria Halpin Story.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Mr. Campbell, of the
Hamilton, O., district is chairman of the House
committee on alcoholic liquor traffic. When the
House was organized in early December and
Mr.. Campbell was assigned to this committee, he
selected as his clerk one of his constituents. The
constituent, however, could not come on here for
two or three months and Mr.. Campbell, not
wanting the salary of Sc a day to run waste
when he had many friends around here who
would like it and whom he would like to reward,
had W. G. Mcbride. the resident correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, appointed to the
clerkship until the man who was to be perma-
nent clerk arrived from Ohio.
1t will be remembered that the Enquirer, dur
ing the campaign in 1884, published the Maria
Halpin and other stories about Mr.. Cleveland
Ever since there has not been good feeling on
his part toward that newspaper or anybody who
would earn livelihood by working for it.
The appointment of Mcbride to be clerk TO Mr.
Campbells committee came promptly to the
Presidents notice when it was announced in the
newspapers here. It was not stated in the local
press that the appointment was to be only tenn
porary, and when the information came to the
President he at once decided to "get even" with
the Enquirer.
The chairman of the House committee on ac-
counts is Mr. Spriggs, of the district in New
York in which Mr.. Cleveland used to live The
committee on accounts reports to every new
House the names of the committees which shall
have clerks, messengers, etc, and without the
Endorsement of that committee employees are
left out. Mr.. Spriggs and Mr.. Cleveland are in
innate friends. So the President sent for Mr.
Spriggs. western Ohio member overheard the
conversation
II wish you would not allow the committee on
alcoholic liquor traffic to have clerk A Gin
cinnati Enquirer reporter is filing the place"
VERY WE'LL" said Mr.. Spriggs.
A few days afterward the committee reported to
the House a list of committees entitled to clerks
The committee alcoholic liquor traffic was
not among the number. The committees report
was adopted, of course, and the Enquirer man
was left out. The Ohio member, who learned
from the Presidents lips the reason. told Mr.
Cambell, and the latter went to Mr. Spriggs and
explained that the appointment was only tenn
a clerk another man would be given the place
A short time afterward Mr.. Sprigcs saw the
President. talA him of the mistake and the other
day Mr.. Spriggs's committee reported in favor of
clerk to Mr.. Campbells committee Mr.
Campbell will now call upon his constituents,
aud not an Enquirer man. The Maria Halpin
story is said to have worried Mr.. Cleveland a
great deal, and he won't forgive its dissent

THE ENGLISH SOCIALISTS.

Hearing Of the Cases of the Leaders-The
Defendants Admitted to Bail.
LONDON. Feb 1.-THE hearing in the case of
the Socialist leaders, HynGman, Burns, Cham
pion and Williams who are charged with melting
riot, contempt of law, ETC., in connection with
the recent demonstrations in London, was begun
in the Bow-street Police Court this morning, the
courtroom being we'll filled with spectators, but
not crowded.
Mr.. Poland, Solicitor for the Treasury, in pre-
senting the case for the government, quoted
from speeches made by the defendants at the
time of the riots. Several newspaper reporters
were called as witnesses. and gave testimony re-
garding the acrions Of the prisoners previous to
and during the disorders.
Mr. Poland asked that all the prisoners be
committed for trial. He said the prosecution
had nothing Of political nature in it, and urged
that the men be prosecuted for misdemeanor.
This, he continued, consisted Of the utterance,
by the different defendants, of expressions and
sentiments with the intent to provoke breach
of the peace. These utterances were
made. at the meetings held at Trafalgar
square and Hyde Park on Monday of last
week. Burns, at the Trafalgar-square meeting,
said to the assemblage: "Unless we get bread,
they will get lead, and, "The next time we will
sack the bakers shops" It was Burns who sug-
gested to the mob to march through the West
End. When the mob arrived at Hyde Park,
Burns again addressed the rioters, and said: I'VE
have shown what stones can do. We will try
powder and shot, if they don't accede. and there
will be revolution" Champion, in his speech to
the rioters on the same day, urged his hearers to
influence the police and army to join the people.
Williams, in his address, urged the people to or
ganize, saying he was unwilling to have starv-
ing men confront the soldiery unless the former
were organized. Hyndman said: Let us show
firm front If peaceable means fall will be
the first to summon you"
The case was adjourned for a week The
prisoners were allowed to give bail.

A ramber of ladies, it is stated, refused to
have the representatives of the Celestial empire
presented to them and there were remarks Of
disapproval of the presence OF these men on
every hand. Some of the ladies say they recog-
nized the Mongolians as attendants of the lega-
tion here, and not the nobility, as their
hostesses presumed. This is the first attempt to
introduce Cinnamon into the first of society of
Washington, and it is likely that it will be the
last one. at least by the Pittsburg ladies.

keep it. The committee thereupon cheered the
Colonel and wound up the meeting by singing

years younger he might sickle for appearances
