Newnsenator from Tennessee.

Hon. VIC. Whittborne has been appointed
Senator from Tennessee to succeed senator
jackson, recent appointed United States dis
trict judge.
Gen. Whitthorne is one of the most vigorous
and conspicuous figures in late political his.
tory. He is 61 years old small in stature, wiry,
energetic, tireless and splendidly equipped for
Senate duties by ten years service in the
house of representatives. For over thirty
years Gen. Whitthorne has been familiar with
legislative proceedings, and this makes him a
thoroughly trained master of parliamentary
routine. He is vigilant and full Of resources,
and has pungent style of oratory. Before
the war he was presiding officer of the Lower
House of the Tennessee Legislature. Entering
the forty-second congress he soon took rank as
a trained debater, but his last services to his
country and his party were rendered after Mr..
Randall gave him the Craftsmanship of naval
affairs. Determined to show up the rotten
contracts and extravagant management of the
navy department he opened Q relentless war
fare on Robson, Chandler and all the ring
sters without fear or favor. The ponderous
volume containing the fruits Of his inyestiga-
ton led to the rout of the naval ring.

THAT familiar and always despised
character, the Irish informer, has re-
ceived his death blow in the decision of
the English home office to offer no more
pardons to accomplices of criminals
who may make confessions. This will
be bad news for the unprincipled
scoundrels who have infested ireland
and piled their trade in sending inno-
cent men to the dungeon and the gal
lows. The practice of granting pardons
to informers has been one of the worst
features of Irish misrule for nearly a
century. 1t went hand in hand with a
coercion which caused the frequent
outburst of revolution and revenge
against the iron hand of castle tyranny.
Now that coercion has been throttled
forever by the genius of William f.
Gladstone the occupation of the Irish
informer would be gone even if the
home office had not legislated him out
of existence. No one will regret his
departure from the scene of his infa-
nous operations. Bee.

President McCosh of Princeton, NJ.
who lived for sixteen years in Ireland
and whose sympathies naturally go out
to the Ulster Presbyterians, believes
that Mr.. Gladstone's measure or one
like it in all essential respects will be
passed sooner or later. In the course
of very able letter he advises his
Presbyterian friends in Ireland to &C
cept the situation and to fight the battle
on the new ground they are constrained
to occupy. He thinks that there are
great risks that the rights of profess
tant' will be trampled upon, the system
of education interfered with, and the
energies of the most industrious classes
in Ireland crippled. But he can see no
other practical solution of the complex
questions with which Mr.. Gladstone is
eourageously dealing than home rule.
