reference with the Appropriations
Does Not Pan Out Other News,

WAsHEsSToS, D, o., July 5.-Whlle the
House was considering the General Def.
cheney bill to-day Mr., Gibson, Of West
Virginia, caused something OF q sensation
by charging that Mr., Townsend, a mem,
ber Of the appropriation Committee, had
gone to the Senate after the action Of the
House in striking names Of certain House
employees from the Legislative Applopria,
ton bill and procured the relnssrtion Of
the names by the Senate committee.
Mr., Cannon admitted that he had re-
quested the Senate Committee to insert in
the bill the names Of two pages who had
from long experience become almost in.
dlspeuaabls, He knew his privileges and
rights and had nothing to apologize for,
Neither OF the employees had been ap,
pointed upon his solicitation, When the
Legislative bill came back 10 the House
he had no doubt that II would accept the
amendment he had suggested to the Sem
ate Committee,
Townsend said that the names OF the
employees had been stricken out OF the
bill on q point Of order made by q mem
Der contrary, as he believed, to the wishes
Of 0 vast majority Of the members Of the
House, Alexander Stephens on his death
bed had requested him (Tewnsend) to
cause John Chances name 10 be retained
on the pay roll OF the House as long as
he, Townsend, Iemained in Congress; and
when Chances name and that OF Bacon,
a gallant Illinois soldier had been
struck out on point Of order, he had d..
termined TO cause them to be restored II
1t were In his power.
Mr., Gibson protested against the idea Of
Interference between the Senate. He had
no ill.will against these employees, and II
allowed, he would tomorrow introduce q
resolution providing that their names be
placed on the roll. After concluding the
consideration Of all but ten pages Of the
bill the Committee rose and the House
at 8 p. m. adjourned.

A baltimore Preacher Delivers aserinon on
American Cardinals.

baltimore Preacher Delivers % Sermon on
American Cardinals.
BAITmoRE, Nh, July 5.-The sermon
preached by Rev. George Elliott created
quite sensation yesterday at the Union
Square NJ. E church, OF which he Is pas.
tor. The church Is one Of the largest in
the city, and is attended by oongrepa-
ton Of wealthy and influential people.
Mr.. Elliotts remarks were intended 10
show how largely Q country depended on
the patriotism Of its people, and, claiming
that love Of country was stronger in
American than In the people Of other ma
tons, and that to free Americans 1t meant
more than to any one else In the world,
he then claimed that the freedom of
America was being jeopardized by, three
thinRs-the liquor traffic, the growing
power OF wealth and priestcraft.
In reference TO the latter he spoke thus;
"Outside ot the limits OF the Protestant
Church there Is no freedom for humanity
worth the name OF freedom, That red
hat which came from Rome 10 Baltimore
q few days ago came from a country where
only the soldiers Of Victor Emanuel make
1t safe for o Methodist clergyman to preach
or even appear in public to day. We have
never had q single Protestant clergyman
or missionary in Italy who has not been
tracked and bounded bys JesuitiCal mob.

It means, we must have no peace with
Jesuitism and no compromise with Rome.

want none Of them. You cannot unloose

AN ABUSE no BE CORRECTED,

How United States SIarslais Draw Fees to
Which they are not Entitled.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The House amend
ment to the sundry Civil bill offered in
regard to fees Of United States marshals
and clerks OF courts is likely to stir up
some opposition to the bill in the Senate
and will in any event stir up United States
msrshals and clerks. The amendment,
however, seems likely to correct an
abuse that has grown into custom in all
the courts OF the United States, and II all
that ia claimed is true It will result in
substantial reduction OF fees and mileage OF
marshals. Whenever an indictment Is pre-.
sented against person who has been or.
rested, 1t has been the custom for the mar
shal Of the court to slip into the Clerks
Office and secure a bench warrant for the
indicted party and place him under arrest.
Fees and Mileage are then charged upon
this warrant, although the person indicted
Is already In court. The matter was frat
brought TO the attention Of Judge jackson,
OF the United States Circuit Court, at Gin.
Cinnati. Although the party was sitting
then in one Of the rooms, the marshal had
secursd bench warrant for his arrest,
upon which mileage for sixty miles had
been charged.
The amendment provides that no part
Of the appropriation shall be used to pay
the fees ef United States marshals or
clerks upon any writ or bench warrant
for the arrest Of any person In such cases,
nor shall any part Of the money appropri.
ated be used In payment OF q per diem
com bensation 10 any clerk or marshal for
attendance in court except for days when
business Is actually transacted in court,
which fact shall be certified In the up:
provRl OF their accounts.

A CIRCULAR call Tor q Republican confer
ence, sent out by a West Virginia Repub.
lcan, is published with some lanCiiul COM
monts in the Cincinnati Enquirer ol yester-
day and the lSrELLroRSCER Of to-day. Il
is playiully called an exposure. It does
expose the circular, and the fact that Mr..
Mensger thought there ought to be con-
ference at Columbus, probably becaule
Columbus Is about the most central point
In West Virginia.
But the exposure comes more than 0
day after the feast. By order Of the State
Executive Committee a Republican con-
ference Is to be held at Parkersburg, July
q, aud Of course the one suggested by Mr..
NLenager will not be held. The lNTRLIl.
oEScER is in receipt Of a letter from Mr..
Menaver Of even date with his circular In
which he says that somebody ought to
take the responsibility and he has taken
IT, In Issuing invitations he asked those
whom he thought most likely to attend,
and in his haste to get of the circular be.
fore he got married he omitted the names
Of many gentlemen whose presence at any
Republican gathering ia always desirable.
Mr.. Menager, 1t need not be said, is in no
sense a party boss" he Is an earnest Re
publican who desires the success Of hii
party, and this he thought would be pro.
NOTED by a conference.
The Enquirer attempts TO make II ap-
pear that Gotf and Elkins and other
wicked men were engaged in fiendish
conspiracy to accomplish some dlabolical
purpose. The ISTELMeESoER is able Ia
say that very few whose names are on the
circular knew anything about 1t until they
received the circular. Particularly, the
ISrELu0RScER is able to say that General
GOtF and Mr.. Elkins received their first in
formation on the subject from the circular
Itself. Many to whom the circular was
sent doubted the wisdom Of the move
but everybody who knows Mr.. Menager
knows that he does his own thinking and
Is sactuated by the best motives.
That any number Of West Virginia Re.
publlcans should be accused Of the loath.
pns crime Of desiring to see their party
