rassment, was report which was, and is,
quite generally accepted as true by the i'm
mediate friends of Mr.. Edmunds. But, how
ever active personal malignity may be
against Mr.. Edmunds, it is the opinion of un-
prejudlced observers who have special means
for knowing the state of public opinion
in Vermont that, while formidable organi-
zation might be formed against Mr. Ed
munds if any one popular and bold enough
could be found to lead it, ii is not probable
that any successful combination will be or
ganized against Mr.. Edmunds. "0ur State
is a small State" says an old Vermont poll
tician who is not personally in favor of the
reelection of NJ. Edmunds, "and the State
knows what a commanding position Mr..
Edmunds has always held in the Senate.
State pride will go great ways in such mat
tiers, and it will. think, go far enough to re-
elect Mr.. Edmunds to the Senate for another
term"

The educational bill which some few days
ago passed the Senate and was sent TO the
committee of the House, has died. This COM

was supposed TO be the last Of it. Mr.. Willis
of Kentucky, to-day introduced in the
House bill similar 70 the Blair bill of the
Senate, but asked that the same be referred
to the Committee on Labor. This motion
created some excitement, and necessitated
the yeas and nays to determine it. The final
vote showed the sentiment of the body, there
being 13s in the affirmative and 113 in the
negative. Nearly all the Southern Repre-
seDtatives are in favor of the measure. All
of the Indiana delegation oppose it.

A False Report.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, March 2I.-The report Cir
culated throughout the country by few
enterpriSng liars that the Indiana Demo-
Gratis were indignant at the action of the
President in not appointing Hon. John B.
Stoll Public Printer at the present time, is
as untrue as it is silly and malicious. 1t is
true there was some disappointment, but
no feelings of indignation have ever been
expressed. The delegation who called
upon the President did so after a
long interview between the President and
Mr.. Stoll two days previous. The
Democrats have nothing to complain Of. be-
cause they still regard 1.-THE chances of M.
Stoll good, and are as firm in the belief that
he Will be appointed at the expiration of this
Congress as he would have been had the
President made the appointment at the ex-
piration of the term of Office of the present
incumbent, which is on the 18th proximo.
Mr.. Stoll is yet in the city, but will leave for
home this week impressed with the belief
that he will be remembered when the proper
time arrives. This opinicl generally pre-
walls among the public men here, and there
are abundant reasons to believe Indiana is to
be given this important Office.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Speaking this af-
ternoOn of the probabilities of getting the
great telephone suit to trial, Solicitor Cen
eral GOOde said "0f course we can not tell
exactly what the suit is to DE until the an
swer is filed, and the defendants have until
June to file. 1t has always been my judg-
ment, however, that the suit would get to
trial some time in the fall. The docket at
Columbus is not particularly crowded, and
have no reason to believe that the Bell Com
pany is anxious to postpone the issue. OF
course it would be impossible to form any
exact estimate of the time to be occupied,
but have always supposed that all the tes-
timony could be taken in the summer, and
that we could get to trial by fall"
Concerning the accounts of the special
counsel, disallowed by the Treasury Depart
ment a few days since, Mr.. Goode said "that
was a small matter. Those accounts were
disallowed merely because they were not in
formed. AS fan as the right of these gentle
men to the 81 900 each is concerned, they
have earned it by their six weeks work on
the bill, but aside from that they would be
entitled to it as a retainer. will guarantee
the Bell Company has paid liberal retainers
to all the counsel that will represent it in
this suit. 1t is always customary to pay a
retainer. Judah Benjamin once told me that
il was always his custom to charge retainer
on taking a case; reminder after he had
worked on it while; a 'refresher if his eli
ent came around his Office much, and finally
a 'inisher' when he was through with the
case. In a case where the Government has
contracted to pay a certain fee the whole
amount can be demanded at that time.
81 see the papers are making good deal
out of the fact that l decided to authorize
the Memphis suit twenty-four hours after
received the application of the District At
torney." continued Mr.. Goode." al do not
see what there is in that. This country is
getting too large for a man to take more
time for a decision of that kind. There
were Just two things / had to determine
First, whether that was the proper mode of
procedure OH had a dozen precedents for
that; second, whether there was enough in
the case to warrant suit and bring the pa
pers and statements of the District Attorney.

ranted that. / did not know the Attorney
General had any telephone stock, and am
sure had none"

Opposition to Trenholm.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-The Senate FL
nance Committee has not taken up the nom
ination of w. S. Trenholm to be Comptroller
because great deal of quiet opposition to
him has developed. The silver men hold
Mr.. Trenholm's financial views against him.
They say that they believe the President
should have some one in the Comptroller's s
place who is in financial sympathy with
him, but they object to having any one
there who has called them all fools and IA
natics in his public speeches. Mr.. Tren-
holm's speech before the National Bank
Convention is being used against him by
these who argue that man placed in posi-
ton of trust to watch over the banks should
not have too intimate relations with them.
Mr.. Trenhom's name will probably be re-
ferred to a subcommittee on Tuesday, and
there is possibility that the report on his
nomination will be adverse. The silver
men have a majority in the Senate and can
reject Mr.. Trenholm if they wish.

steele's Senatorial Ambition.

Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHINeToN, March 29.-Representative
Steele. of Indiana, apparently has Senatorial
ambitions. As every one knows, Represent
atives are privileged persons in the Senate
Chamber; that is, they are entitled to enter
the chamber without the doorkeepers knock
ing them down with club. In the rear of
the seats used by the Senators there are great
lounges and easy chairs, which are
placed there especially for the
benefit Of Representatives and such
others may wish to lounge
around, when not engaged in the proceed
ings of the Senate. 1t is regarded a. polite,
and quite the proper thing, for Representa-
tive, when visitor on the Chamber floor to
occupy these seats in the rear, and if he
should have business with Senator he must
go with the Senator into the cloak room and
there do his talking. Mr.. Steele, however,
does not observe this etiquette, while, upon
the contrary, he hunts out, if he can find an
unoccupied seat Of some of the more promi-
nent Senators, and there sits, looks wise, and
casts his eyes in the direction of the
galleries, with the apparent satisfaction
of creating the belief he is real live Sena-
tor. If it is impossible to find the seats of
either Logan, Edmunds, Cameron, Hoar,
Harrison, ingalls,. or any OF the other now
distinguished Senators, Mr.. Steele contents
himself with any vacant seat he may find on
the Republican side of the chamber. In
point ofayoirdupois Mr.. Steele very clearly
fills any of the chairs, but when it comes to
the valuable attainment, brains, there may
appear to the minds of the less charitable
that there is a deficiency. Mr.. Steele like ex-
Representative Wood, of Crown Point, Ind,
has Vice Presidential aspirations. His favor
lite for President is Senator Everetts, of New
York, with the belief that he (Steele), from
Indiana, would be quite the proper thing for
the tail end of the Republican kite. In
point Of looks Mr.. Steele compares favorably
with any man in Congress- and in that re-
spect IS a credit to his State, but this should
not be considered as legitimate reason fer
his ambition to succeed the able Senator
Harrison.

Outrageous Bills DisaIowed.

Special TO the sentinel.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-It is indeed sell
dom that day passes on which Comptroller
Durham, of the Treasury, does not find
something decidedly wrong in the bills
which are presented against the United
States. Yesterday he returned the Depart
ment of Justice a bill for $775 for a portrait
of Ex-Attorney General McVeigh, and S5345O
for portrait OF Ex.Attorney General Dev-
ems. These portraits have been ordered and
paid for by the department. but when At
torney General Garland's attention was
called to the matter he said they were un-
doubtedly illegal. They were charged to
the section in the law providing for neces-
sary furniture. They are not necessary, in
the opinion OF the Comptroller. The Attor-
ney General had already invited Ex-Attor-
ney General Brewster to sit for his portrait,
but under this ruling the invitation will be
Withdrawn. The Comptroller has stopped
payment of several Marshals' accounts on
account of outrageous charges. For instance,
one account presented yesterday called for
payment of 1900 miles of mileage for
single day. This came about by the Mar
shal making journey of a hundred miles
and having twenty-five warrants to serve.
He charged mileage on them all at 3 cents
per mile. This reached the handsome sum

Kicked and Killed-Gypsy Marriage.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, March 29.-Yesterday
morning Taylor Phillippi, a prominent
young farmer OF Oregon Township, was
kicked by a horse and sustained injuries
from which he died in twenty minutes He
went into the stable to curry the animal
and in passing the stall was kicked in the
abdomen. He was twenty-eight years of
age and unmarried. He was very popular
and we'll known in this city.
This morning at 8 o'clock Ben Harrison
and Jennie Jeffries, members of the Gypsey
encampment at the falls, were joined in
marriage by Squire Keigwin, at Scheuher's
saloon, on the pike. The bride wore the
fanciful costume peculiar to the Romany
race, and looked very pretty. The dusky
face of the Bohemian groom was aglow with
pleasure, and plainly showed that he appre-
ciated the prise he had won in the matrim0-
nial lottery. The parents of both parties
objected to the match, and, although they
had been lovers from childhoods hour,
would not give their consent to the union.

ticians who are here think tnat the attack
upon Mr.. Edmunds in the New York Trib-
une indicates that the friends of Mr.. Blaine
are TO organize a movement which will be
designed to prevent the reelection Of Mr..
Edmunds to the Senate. Whatever may have
been the formal reasons assisned for the non-
participation of Mr.. Edmunds in the last
Presidential campaign, his friends in Wash
ington and elsewhere have never made any
conceaIment of the real reason, which, was
that he had personal and political objections
to Mr.. Blaine as a candidate which could
not be overcome. The report, too. that Mr..
Edmunds, at some time prior to the nom-
ination of Mr.. Blaine at Chicago, had writ
ten letter denying bis position as regards
Mr.. Blaine to some one, and that that letter,
il produced when Mr.. Edmunds was on the
stump in support of Mr.. Blaine, would have
