Mr.. POwDERLY, Grand Master
Workman of the knights of Labor, is
and always has been a Democrat, but
he emphatically repudiates the project
recently started in some quarters of the
State of nominating him as the next
Democratic candidate for Governor. He
says he has no political aspirations, and
even if he had, he could not neglect the
interests of the organization of which
he is the head. This plain statement
from Mr. Powderly's own lips in, Phila-
delphia on last Saturday, has dispelled
the dreadful fear with which the Re-
publican papers were seized when it was
first announced that a movement was
on foot among the Democrats to make
him their candidate. Mr.. POwderly
would undoubtedly be a wonderfully
strong candidate. and Blalne's eighty
! thousand majority in the State in 1884
which everybody knows was brought
/ about by thirty thousand Irish Demo
Gratis voting for him, would disappear
as mist does before the morning sun, i
| Powderly and Beaver we're contestant
in the coming campaign. This would
more certainly be the result if Beave
should undertake to stump the State, a
he has never yet made a political speecl
during a campaign in which he did no
commit one or more glaIing blunders
Mr.. Powderly's determination not t
enter the political field does him infnit
credit Owing to the wide extent of th
labor troubles just now he is a mos
conspicuous figure, clothed with gres
power and with a corresponding respor
slbility resting upon him. He is prr
dent, thoughtful man, and is resOlut
in his purpose to do what is right an
expedient to compose the present diff
culties and guard, as far az he possibl
can, against their recurrence. He ca
do more good and accomplish better +
suits in his present position than
= could if he was Governor of Pennsylv
MIA for twenty years.

THERE is trouble in Louisville, and
a great deal of it, over the appointment
of Mrs. Virginia c. Thompson to the
Office of postmistress at that city. She
is stylish and good-looking-is the
daughter of Rev. Alexander Campoell,
Of West Virginia, who was the founder
of the Campbellite Church, and is repre-
seuted by one who knows her we'll to be
'as smart as chain lightning" 1t is
said that when the Presidential election
Of 1886 was over, Mrs. Thompson got
I'D a petition in favor of her appoint
ment which was addressed to "Presi-
dent Tilden.' She went straight on
getting signers to her petition, on the
theory that Tilden was elected, until
the Electoral Commission cheated him
and declared Hayes as President
Here was a dilemma, but Mrs. I. was
equal to the occasion, and simply clip
ped off the Tilden address and substi-
tuttd one to Hayes. Then she went to
Washington, where she hunted up
Judge Black and Garfield, the latter
being then in the House, and both of
them members of the Campbellite
Church. They went with her to the
White House. and before they left it
Hayes promised to appoint her, and he
did so. She was reappointed by Mr..
Arthur, and has therefore held the Of
fee for eight years. During the last
Presidential campaign she kept her eye
on the main chance, and is said to have
divided her political affections impair
italy between Blaine and Cleveland by
| contributing an equal amount TO each
| campaign fund. She has been at Wash.
| ington for month or more, and through
Mr.. Willis, the Louisville Congressman
has prevailed upon Mr.. Cleveland to re-
| appoint her, although he did not want
to do so. a big indignation meeting
and big ratification meeting have beer
held in Louisville over her nomination
which is now in the hands of the Post
Office Committee, but has not yet beer
finally acted upon. She solemnly pro
tests that she was for Cleveland all th
time, and Senator Beck espouses he
cause, while Senator Blackburn is or
posing her. 1t looks, however, as
Alexander Campbell's daughter wi
come out ahead.

EX-GOVERNOR JAMES POLLOCK has
doubtless held Office longer than any
ether man in the State. Long before
he ran as the Known Othing candidate
for Governor against Bigler in 1854,
and was elected, he held office in
Northumberland county, where he
lived, and had been i'll Congress. After
he went out of the Governors office in
1853, be filled two or three positions in
Philadelphia under the general govern
ment until short time age, and last
week he was summoned from private
life and appointed by the United States
Circuit Court as Chief Supervisor of
Elections for the district of Philadel-
phia. This position requires about as
little 20 be done as any office that can
possibly be imagined, and as the Judge
who appointed him holds his Office fol-
for life, if he behaves himself well,
Pollock will likely die with his official
harness on. He is said to be a very
amiable man, and, like the Irishman's
turtle, remarkable for his good beha
vior.

IF it can prevent it, Congress won't
surrender its control over big approria-
tior bills, and we learn. therefore, with
out any surprise that the House Judi
ciary Committee last week reported ad-
Versely a joint resolution proposing a
Constitutional amendment giving the
President power to veto specific items
in an appropriation bill, while approx
ing the rest of its provisions. Several
attempts have of lase years been made
to incorporate such an amendment in
the Constitution, but they have always
failed. The reason for this result is not
apperent to ordinary mortals, Eor do we
believe that Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia,
who is chairman of the committee, and
made the report, could satisfy any intel.
ligent man why the committee thus
acted. Pennsylvania and New YORK
have such a clause in their constitu-
tions, and 1t has saved each of theil
treasures from being robbed of many
thousands of dollars for useless and un
necessary purposes.

Father Ryan Expires After brief Ill

LOUISVILLE, April 22.-Father Abra-
ham J. Ryan, the ''poet priest of the
South, :" died at the Franciscan Monas-
teIy at st. Bonifaeius, in this city, at 8
O'Clock tonight. He came here a

he had undertaken. He became i'll

HENRY GRATTAN.
The Great Erishman Whose Name Is
Now Often Recalled.

"I will remain anchored here with
fidelity to the fortunes of my country,
faithful to her freedom, faithful to her
fall" 50 spake Henry Grattan when
the Irish Parliament came to an end.
Inseparably coupled with the name OF
Grattan. the name of Charles Stewart
ParneJI will go down to posterity, and
now that Parnell's name is on every lip,
it is appl opriate to bestow a few mo-
ments to the memory of his illus:rious
predecessor.
Henry Grattan was born at Dublin.
july 3. 1746. His father was a Tory,
but young Grattan soon seeded from
his fathers faith, for which be was dis
inherited. He entered Trinity College
and distinguished himself there and in
1897 was called to the bar in London,
and inll772 in ireland. In 1775 he en-
tered the Irish Parliament, and. having
given much time to the study of oratory,
at once made his way to the front. In
177S he moved an address to the crown,
that the condition of Ireland was no
longer endurable, and although his mo-
tion did not receive the support of the
majority. it led to the reform of many
abuses.
In 1870 be moved his famous resolu-
tions that the king, nth the consent
of the Parliament Of Ireland, was alone
| competent to enact laws to bind Ire
/ land.'' It was in April. 1882, however
| that he aroused the Irish people to the
! greatest enthusiasm, when he delivered
| his Declaration of Rights, and begar
| his speech with-"I am COW about II
address a free people" In consequence
of this movement the English Govern
! ment was forced to pledge itself to tn
redress Of Irelaud's grievances. Grat
tan was voted e100. 600, but would &C
cept but e50,0 900, The breaking of tn
promises made by England led to th
bloody rebellion OF 1898, and Grattan

by the English, retired from Parliament

THE fund of the New York San in
aid of the starving fishermen on the west
coast of Ireland closed on Friday last,
tie total subscriptions aggregating over
eight thousand dollars. The need for
further contributions from this country
is ended by the recent action of the
English Government in sending a COM
missioner to distribute food in its own
behalf among the needy inhabitants Of
the island, and placing gunboat at the
service of the commissioner to transport
meal and other food to the point where
aid is still necessary. The letters re-
ceived from the agents of the san who
distributed the fund show that those
who have been assisted in their dire ex
tIemity will never forget the gratitude
due to their warm-hearted American
friends and syDlpathizers.

THE marriage license law of this
State was drawn up by the Rev. T. J.
SherIaTd, Of Honeybroek, in Chester
county, and put through the Legisla-
ture by Senator Haalan, of the same
county. As it appears ir the LegiSLa-
tiUe Record it requires that "the party"
applying for license shall be questioned
by the Clerk of the Court to whom the
application is made, and the intent of
the requirement, as stated by both the
gentleman referred to, is that any re-
sponsible person may take out license
for friends on satisfactorily answering
the questions of the clerk. But as the
law appears in pamphlet form 'the par
ty is changed to the parties" so as to
leave the impression that the persons to
be married must go before the clerk and
be questioned. The belief is that this
change was made in order to cause en-
bsrrassment and bring such odium on
the law as to cause it to be repealed.
