Pronunciamento-T Feeling in Ire
land.
LON ON, May 13.-Miehael Davitt, in a
.peech at Liverpool to-day said that Irish
men would not be one iota behind O'Con-
mel in resenting the Papal rescript. Ireland
had done moe for tie church among The
people throughout the English speaking
world than any other country, and this
was Rome's gratitude. Irishmen would be
likely to ask themselves the question in the
matter without famishing. His remarks
were not to be construed as an attack on
or as showing disrespect to the church. He
said that whether the rescript WAS intend
ed as
POLITICAL PRoNU NCIAMENTO
or MT, it would be SO regarded, and al
ready has been hailed as such by every
coercionist paper and the meanest unionist
rag. He was confident that the rescriRt
had added three months to DIllon's sem
tence. Irshmen were compelled to believe
that the rescript was due to the English
intrigues, and Ireland would not accept
political dictation from the Holy See.

"TRUBBLE IN DE CHUCH."

White Co-Workers and jaw Each
Other.
INDIANAPOLIS May 12.-In the African
Methodist Episcopal Conference to-day the
subject OF the union with the Canadian
church came up. At the close OF the
speeches, pro and con, a series OF resolu-
tions were read, declaring the union con-
summated and all the conditions fulfilled,
and that the general conference will sup
port it as strongly as possible. When the
vote came to be taken by yeas and nays,
many voters desired to explain their posi-
tion or to
FAVOR THE UNION,
but not the clause which said all the conoi-
tions had been fulfilled. The audience was
in a continuous uproar and owing to the
number OF explanations made the vote
proceeded slowly. When Bishop Payne
was called, he said the union was based on
deception, suppression and absolute lying
and voted against it. This created SEN
sation and some Kisses were heard. All the
rest OF the Bishops voted yea, and the reso-
lutions were adopted.

CITY ATTORNEY
Nominations for this office were next in
order, aud M. Mantle took the floor. He
said: need hardly call the attention oi
this convention to the fact that wit this
Office OF City Attorney the Republicans OF
the City OF Butte have heretofore, to say
| the least, been unfortunate. A year ago
gentleman was nominated for that posi-
| tion against whom there was considerable
feeling. That gentleman at the time, OF his
nomination, made certain pledges
which seemed to be required
of him, on the part of his friends. WAS it
that he should see that the Inter Mountain
should have the printIpg?] yet notwith-
standing the somewhat peculiar position
| which he occupied at that time in relation
to his party, he was elected by large
majority. He has since discharged the
duties OF that Office in a manner in SO far
as am advised, to reflect credit on him
self and to his enhancement in the public
L
that he is entitled to denomination by ac-
clamation, [applause] and move that he
be so declared the nomiuee.

Mr.. Nichols: II desire to be heard. de-

Mr.. Lippincott than anybody sitting back
here" Somehow or other they ran the
machine over Lippincctt's friend here, and
the convention rushed the acclimation
business through, and shouted for Mr..
Speer, who had almost been lost sigh- OF
in the turmoil. Mr.. Speer came forward in
a neat Prince Albert, walking without a
cane, and was assisted to the platform.

The local option cases testing Il Q
validity OF the elections in the city of
Marshall and in the county of Saline
were decided by Judge Richard
Field on last Wednesday. The
principal reason urged to annul the
election in Marshall was that the notice
of election was not sufficient. The no.
lice was published for four consecutive
weeks in Il weekly newspaper, which
the court held to be in compliance with
the law and sustained the election. The
local optionists contested the county
election OIL the ground that enough
illegal votes had been cast to change
the result of the election. The court
lfopnd that there were enough illegal
votes cast to change the result, but also
sfotnd that the election was void by
feason OF the fact that the order of
election made by the county court in
cluded the whole county outside of
Marshall, thus taking in the city of
Slater with a population of 1872, as
shown by a recent census. The situa-
ton at present is, that Marshall is dry,
and the county election being void the
county is wet.

TARIFF.


Now we come TO the fourth argu-
meut that the beneflciaries of the tariff,
those employed In protected industries,
out-numDer the remainder of the popu-
latiOn.
According to the census of 1880 there
were 1870 ,493 persons employed in
agriculture unprotected in professional
aud Personal services 4,074,2 3S I'M
protected. while i'll every branch of min-
Ing and manufactures not over one
half of whom can be protected, there
are only 1887, ll2 hands employed.
Here is u total of l5,6Sl ,S43 whose
occupation 10 given, of whom only q
600. 900 AT the utmost have any benefit
from the tariff. Allowing 30 persons
supported by such work and we have
seven millions out of the entire pOpn-
lati0n OF fifty millions who derive any
benefit from the tariff. Instead Of be-
ing in a majority, iOrty-three millions
are taxed 10 support seven millions.
IN view OF these figures II is scarcely
necessary to examine the claim thnt
there is no harm III taxing the few for
the benefit of the many Ii il were

THE GERMAN CONSTITUTION
From the New York Herald

FROM the new 1ofk Herald.
With a very i'll man oil the throne OF
Germany and an inexperienced youth
likely within a short time to succeed to
the throne, with an iron ruler like
Bismarck holding the great powers of
chancellor-powers which, in the nat
ural order of things, as he is now
sev~enty-three, must IN the near future
pass into other hands-the form OF the
imperial government becomes a matter
of world wide interest.
Ii Is outlined in a written cOnstitu-
ton adopted in 1871. That instru-
ment, like Our own constitution,
embodies a dual form of government.
Here we have federal and state govern
ment. There we see the local govern
ment of the German states aud the
imperial government of the empire.
The imperial Legislative power is
vested i'll the reichstag, which consists
OF 1877 members, elected for three
years by popular vote, and the federal
council or Bundesrath, which is COM
posed OF 82 members appointed by the
states. The former is the popular
body ; the latter presents some aspects
of n grand imperial cabinet.
The constitution recognizes the king
of Prussia as the head of the empire,
with the title OF emperor and the
hereditary right of Succession. He is
commander in chief OF the army and
navy, appoints ambassadors, declares
war, makes peace, concludes treaties
The consent of the federal council is
essential to u declaration OF WAL except
when German territory is invaded or
attacked. The consent of that body
and the approval OF the reichstag are
necessary 10 tho validity of III inter
national treaty.
The emperor may cOnvoke, prOrogue
Dr. dissolve the council. He may convoke
or prorogue the ~reichstag, but not for
more than thirty days without lis con-
sent. With the consent OF the council
he may dissolve the reichstag. In case
of u dissolution new elections must be
held within sixty days and the new
reichstag meet within 80. To become
a law II bill must be passed by Il major
ity vote In each Legislative branch, be
approved by the emperor and counter
signed by the chancellor. In case OF
certain measures relating 10 imperial
taxes, the army or the navy, unanlmlty
in the federal council is practically
essential.
The chancellor OF the empire Is
appointed and may be- removed by the
emperor. Beside having extensive
administrative powers he is president
OF the federal council and has the
deciding vote IN case Of n tie lie is
also entitled 10 speak III the r"IciIsi"E
