THE GRESHAM BOOM.
1t Pleases Washington Republicans

1t Pleases Washington Republicans.
WAsnINoToN. - The Gresham boom Is
rapidly gathering Roadway among Re
publicaus. The favorable comments
evoked by the mention of his name in
connection with the Presidential nomi-
nation throughout the country, find sub
stantial echoes in both halls OF Congress.
Gresham's candidacy is regarded with
special favor by those Republicans who
have either been iukewarn In their sup
port of Blaine in the past, or who, in con
sequence of his public declarations, have
come to look upon the plumed knight as
out of the race. Those republicans ia
the House, who for one reason or another,
have been hostile to Blaine have suddenly
exhibited a willingness to place wonder
full degree of confidence in his written
aud spoken utterances on the subject of
his candidacy and, with an implicit faith
in his sincerity Which contrast oddly with
their past attitude towards him, have ao-
oepted his dictum as final and have turn
ca eagerly to Gresham.

A Thiet's Luck.
Boston Budget.

A young lady governess was sitting in a
horse-car in an English provincial town,
when stylishly dressed man entered who
displayed prominently a valuable dia-
mond ring on one of his fingers. He
soon after got out, and the young lady on
getting to her stage on her way home
stepped out as we'll, and found on putting
her hand in her pocket that her purse was
gone. She, however, found a strange ar
tice in her pocket, which to her astonish-
ment turned out TO be the identical ring
which her fellow-traveler had been SO
ostentatiously displaying. Examination
proved that the ring was no flash article,
a jeweler eppraising it as of the value of
at least $3.50. Fortunately for the lady,
there were only shillings in tho purse
which she lost. The ring had evidently
slipped off the pickpocket's finger when
he was in the act of abstracting the
purse.

After much debate Mr.. Grain of Texas,
raised a point OF order against the appro-

from the statute a law fixing the salary
of this official at $4,000 and denounced
the practice of cutting down salaries on

was sustained and the appropriation ruled
out. Pending fu t1er action the com

Tux way the home rule bitterness ia
being carried into social matters is
peculiarly English, For over q year
great tory houses have been striking from
their list OF guests men especially ideuti-
fed with home rule. The most offensive
notable IT, this regard is the duke OF
Westminster. He received his peerage
from Mr. Gladstone, but that did not
stand in the way of his removing the
great liberals portrait from his library
and reforming his invitation lists. A
large majority of She social luminaries
upon the tory side have followed his
example The queen herself may have
given life to this singular policy At
any rate, no Gladstone member OF Parlia-
ment expects or receives an invitation TO
Windsor castle. Many liberals have ac-
cepted the challenge and given home rule
dinners and receptions. The visit Of the
prince OF Wales to Glasgow to attend the
opening % the exhibition has been the
occasion Of q oomical complication in
social circles The prince was never
afraid to come in contact with the
views Of democracy His royal parent
often disciplined him for associating
with NJ. Gambetta when in Paris, ana
some Of his best personal friends are in
liberal ranks. On his northern trip he
was the guest OF Lord Hamilton of Dial
zell, home -rnler. Thereupon the duke
of Abercorn and several other Scotch
tories refused TO meet the prince.

In is the navy rather than the army,
after all, upon which Great Britain would
have to depend if an invasion should be
threatened. The naval heet Is well mana
ed and on the whole efficient, and 1t
could probably save the nation from ser
ious injury even as things stand. But
il Il evident nevertheless, that there Is
much TO be done before it can be regard
ed as in every way equal TO the great re-
sponsibilty thrown upon it. Lord Charles
Beresford points ont that Great Brit
ain suffers with the United States by the
delays of contractors, and adds that this
feature of the aystem might become
serious matter. as it not evident he
asks, "that were England beaten in the
waters, which form her only frontier,
"the enemy would have only to block
"her food supplies and let her starvef
They would conquer US without
striking blow. England can never be
Saved by her army, Therefore, as the
"navy is our sole hope, it must be very
"strong very much stronger, 1 main
"tain, than now" There is reason IN this
view of the case. An enormous standing
army would be drain upon the resources
of Great Britain altogether disproportion
ate to the advantages TO be derived; but
the navy stands upon a different footing.

HOMO YEN CHANG, who has the honor OF
being the first Chinese lawyer admitted
to practice in this country, thanks TO the
action Of the general term of the su-
premo court at Poughkoepsie, N. Y,
recently, has been qualified for active
practice for several years. After several
examinations, aud fortified by special
act OF the Legislature, he mas gained his
point, He is a Yale graduate, and ought
to find enough to do in the litigetions
that spring up in Mott street.
SPEAKING of German DEGREES excluding
Frenchnien from Alsace Lorraine, let us
suppose the Republic to Issue a decree
excluding Germans from France. The
right to do so as measure of retaliation
undoubtedly remains with France; but if
the right were to be advanced Germany
would deem it declaration of war. The
acceptance by France of these restrictions
shows the complete and enduring nature
of the German victories in 1870.
In is announced that the Pope will
write letter to his faithful children in
Ireland advising them that his rescript
against the nationalist plan OF campaign
is not intended TO interfere with the legit-
innate aspirations Of the Irish for pol.

the irritation caused in Ireland by the
rescript but its effect has been felt in
Ireland, and no Papal explanation or re-

repression OF immigration the influx
continues in constantly increasing vol
ume. The reports of the Statistical Bur-
eau of the Treasury Department for
April shows total immigration FOR that
month of 1860, an increase over April
1887, of $3.50. For the ten months end
ing april 30 the total WAS 372 800, an in
crease over the corresponding period Of
the year previous of 1882. Among the
interesting facts shown hy the table are
these. The Irish immigration for APru
was precisely the same as in April, 1887
and the figures for four months show
decrease of nearly 1900 IL such immi
grafton "a compared with the previous
year; Germany shows falling off for the
month Of some 1900, and for the four
months of about $500. The increase is
mainly from Italy. When 1T is consider
ed that Germany and Ireland furnish on
the whole the best GLASS of Immigrants
this IA not encouraging. The CHECK
seems to be working in the wrong direc
tion.
