Rest-only rest.
The burden Of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows BEST

For rest-sweet rest.

Ger fruitless field.

So heart oppressed;
And so sigh o weak and human sigh,

And cares infest

Hon. William M. Springer has again been
nominated by reclamation by the democrats
as their candidate for congress in the
Springfield district. Mr.. Springer has now
served his constituents for several terms
and in such a manner as to make him per-
sonally very popular with them. His great
forte is his willingness to render favor to
either democrat or republican whenever it
is within his power to do so. There is no
member of congress who is SO persistent in
his efforts as is Mr.. Springer, and as a re
suit he is in he majority of instances sue
cessful in his undertakings. He is pleasant
in address and affable in manner. The re-
peated efforts made in his district to defeat
him for denomination have thus far proven
unsuccessful and it is very probable they
will continue to as long as Mr.. Springer re-
tains his hold upon the masses of the people
of his district.

In addition Judge Camden aud several

over GladstOns's Irish PropOsala-sSyOraI
MOnSors Threaten to RssigU, but
Temporary Peace Is Patched Up on
the Premier MOdirJiughiS Views.

LONDON, April G.-Ths Cabinet met at
noon to-day, and remained in session
until . o'clock. Mr.. Gladstone laid before
the Ministers his Irish Home Rule scheme.
1t is reported that the discussion which
followed resulted in continuing the Minis
teEial opposition to certain features Of the
Premier's proposals. The Earl Of kim
berley, Secretary for India; Mr., ohilden,
Home Secretary Sir William Vernon
HRrcourt, Chancellor Of the Rxchequer,
and Mr., Mundsll, President Of the Board
Of Trade, are, it 10 said, as much opposed
as ever to that feature which surrenders
control OF the customs In Ireland. As
Mr.. Gladstone remains tlrm, these Minis
ters, rumor says, will resign.
Sir II, +, Ponsonby, Private Secretary
OF tho Queen, was sent by Her Majesty
this afternoon, TO confer on her behalf
with Lord Harrington, the leader Of the
Wings in the House Of Commons. The
interview lastedia long time. Afterwards
the Marquis OF Salisbury had q long
private conference with Lord Harrington,
The Liberal opponents OF Mr. Glad
stones Irish policy are steadily increasing
their strength, aud are doing everything
within their power to bring about q
coalition between themselves and the Con-
sePvatlves under Liberal leader. Lord
Harrington is at present the only avail
able man who would be acceptable to the
Tory party Of the contemplated coalition.
1t was stated In the lobby OF the
House OF Commons this morning that
Messrs. Mundella and OhildeEs had re-
signed their seats In the Cabinet. II was
expected that Messrs. Fowler, Heneage
and Broadhurst would secede from the
government on Thursday. The consensus
Of opinion was that the present gov
ernment Is doomed. The latest lniorma-
tion, however, is that the Cabinet ieud
has temporarily abated. Mr.. Gladstone
modihes his proposals regarding the Gus.
toms control by giving the English Parlia-
ment the right to veto all asCal enact.
ments OF Ireland, providing that the I'm
perial Receiver shall collect customs and
excise taxes.
The malcontents consequently withheld
their designations. Mr.. Gladstone Is
thoroughly supported in all his proposals
by Earl Granville, Earl Rossberry, the
Ripon and Mr.. Campbell phyhen
Bannerman. Mr.. Gladstone is in robust
health and good voice and Is confident OF
success. On Thursday Mr.. Chamberlain
will speak after Mr.. Gladstone aud Lord
Harrington will move to adjourn. II is
reported that Lord Salisbury mas psrsuad.

House refuse to consider Mr.. Gladstone's

yesterday were on Home Rule.

Senate to-day, and Mr.. Logan spoke in
further advocacy Of 1t. Referring to a
case recently exposed, Of the imprison-
ment of an American citizen in Cuba, q

any feeling OF personal ofense In what

what the Senators had aimed at was that
he should declare himself on some points
at which they had limited, he Logan1
would say that he was no Communist,
was for no division Of property. He be.

in murder or the destruction Of property,
but in saying that II any man asserted
that he (NGr. Logan was not the friend Of

navy that would not be the laughing stock
OF the world.
Mr, Hale opposed the bill. He referred
70 some remarks made In the opening OF
the discussion on this bill, which remarks
he said had been interpreted, az the dis.
cussion had shown, as referring to outside

sage from the President relating 10 the
subject Of Chinese immigration. The
message was read and reported 10 the
