Mgr. Persico Has Almost Com
pleted His Report to the Pope
Regarding Affairs in Ireland.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-Mgr. Persico's re-
port on the Irish question is almost
completed. He directs attention to the
anomalous fact that all the governing
authorities in Ireland, from the lord
lieutenant downward, are Protestants,
and not well disposed toward Catholics.
On the other hand, he says, the
agrarian struggle engenders out
rage and total violation of
the moral law. He himself has
improved the state of affairs, but
much remains undone. The Irish peo-
pie refuse absolutely to admit that the
plan of campaign is criminal; they con-
slider it a legitimate retaliation upon the
land owners, who, they say, must pay
for the misdeeds of their class in the
past. The land courts sometimes sue
coed in quieting the people by obtaining
concessions FROM the landlords, but gen.
orally they inspire little confidence.
The pope may still do much. provided
he can convince the Irish people
that he is not acting in ac-
cOrdance with an agreement
with the English government. The
people must be made to comprehend
the moral importance of their acts;
they must be taught to accustom them
selves to a separation of political ques-
tons from moral questions. They must
not serve as the instrument of those
who, under the pretext of nationality,
led them to the commission of acts that
are contrary to morality. Mgr. Persico
expresses the most absolute disapproval
of boycotting. He signifies the opinion
that Irish political aspirations must be
satisfied before peace can be restored.

STATE TREAsURER's REPORT.

Treasurer BoBLETER's official an
nual report to the state legislature,
full synopsis of which appears in an
other column, confirms what the GLOBE
has heretofore said regarding the defect
i've financial methods practiced by our
state authorities. SAT no time within
five years has the revenue fund been in
healthy condition." says the state
treasurer, land for only twenty -nine
days of the entire time has there been q
credit to this fund, and then not to eX-
coed ten days in any fiscal year." This
is precisely the state of affairs the
GLOBE alleged to exist, and for saying
which we were accused of manufacture
ing campaign thunder. The truth is.
the state has conducted it's finances on
a purely credit system, instead of
doing SO on strictly cash basis. The
result of credit system in private bust
ness affairs is too we'll known for the
public to be deceived by the idea that it
can be made success in the conduct OF
public business. Treasurer BoBLETER
explains in detail the causes, as they
appear to his mind, which have led up
to the establishment of this objection
able and deplorable system. 1t is the
duty of the next legislature to take this
matter promptly in hand and correct the
evils connected with the states financial
management. The suggestions in this
direction made by the state treasurer
merit the consideration of the legisla
ture. Something should be done, and
done promptly.

LEWIS VISIT TO BENJAMIN.

Mr.. MORTON has bee to Indianapolis
10 see Gen. HARRISON. and a pleasant
social time they have had of it. Gen.
HARRISON is an agreeable host, and Mr..
MORTON makes a delightful guest. AS
these two distinguished gentlemen sat
in the parIor of the HARRISON mansion
and toasted their shins before blazing
fire, the long hours of the winter even
ingS were whiled away with remlnls-
cences of the late campaign. There
were good many things to be recalled
of common interest to these gentlemen,
and one can readily imagine how con-
fidential they became. Our word for 1t,
the distinguished vice president-elect
did not fail to exhibit to the still more
distinguished president-elect the stub
of his campaign check book, and how 1t
must have meilowed the presidential
heart to see these evidences OF LEWIS
fidelity to the cause. 1t was probably
lust at this moment when the preSI-
dents heart was softened into tender
ness by the sight of these stubs IN
blocks of five, that the vice
president unfOlded the real pur-
pose of his visit. He had friend up.in
New York, Tom PLATT by name, who
wanted to be secretary of the treasury.
1t was the same Tom PLATT VINO held
the New York delegation in line at
Chicago, and wheeled them into the
HARRISON column at a critical moment.
1t was the same Tow PLATT who, after
afn6 inSlctQH Dn0n
New York's right to the second place
on the ticket. and put forward the name
ofLEvI P. MORTON for the position. Lit
was the same Tom PLATT who induced
the aforesaid LEVI to put his bank ac-
count at the disposal Of the Republican
campaign committee. And just at this
moment, when the food OF memories
had been rushed in upon the presidents
mind, the 'scheming Levite proposed
the name Of Tom PLATT for the treas
ury portfolio. 1t was mastery stroke,
and we dare say had its effect.
There is one thing the people Will re-
member in this connection, however,
and that is, the vice-president is not
supposed to be cabinet maker. 1t is
possible that he may become one at
some time in the future. But, as mat
tiers now stand, the sole duty of the vice
president is to preside over the senate,
and, Oh tie, to give the casting vote.
Until the constitution is amended it
would be better for Mr.. MORTON to
leave the matter of cabinet making ell
tireIy to the president-eIect. 1t is all
right for LEVI to have little season of
hobnobbing with BENJAMIN in true
Hoosier style But he shouldn' interfere
in family affairs. The presidents cabinet
is his political family. and it is down.
right impudence for Mr.. MORTON to be
putting his oar in at this juncture.

FIGHTING FRANCE.

The European situation continues to
wear peaceful aspect, and yet those
who are in the habit of looking under
the surface assert that things are not
what they seem. Strange as it may
seem to those who have not been giving
strict attention to European affairs
lately, still there is evident force in the
statement that France is now the men,
acing power in European politics. Ever
since the dethronement of NAPOLEON
the Third and the rise of the republic,
France has been practically eliminated
from European affairs. 1t has been
looked upon by the continental powers
more as a nation by sufferance than
power capable of disturbing the peace
of Europe. Recent developments have
served, however, to disabuse the Euro
pean mind in this respect. 1t is dis
covered that the French army, both
in discipline and equipment, will COM
pare favorably with any of the military

PARIS, Dec. 13.--During another ex
citing scene at the Panama Canal COM
pany's Office to-day, on call for M. de
Lesseps, Charles de Lesseps, his son,
appeared. He announced that only
10000 bonds had been subscribed for,
and that the company would therefore
commence returning the deposits to-
morrow. Referring to his fathers re-
marks Oh the previous day, he said:

His remarks were made on the strength
of a hopeful report that / made him.
The result is bankruptcy or the winding

assistance of the company. The Pana-
ma Canal company has issued note to
the press stating that the result OF the
issue is unknown, but giving no indica-
ton whether the minimam number of
bonds required has been subscribed.
1t is suspected in Paris that the an
nouncement made by M. De Lesseps
yesterday that his appeal to the public
for subscriptions to the Panama canal
loan had been successful is merely
trick to encourage investors in London
and the same belief prevailing here has
made moneyed men very shy of plung

HEALTHY WEATHER.

The old theory that weather out of
season is unhealthy is fatty contradicted
by the report of the st. Paul health de-
partment for the last month. The
weather has been exceptional for two
months past, and particularly in Nov
ember, when. instead of wailing winds
and snow-drifts usually characteristic
of the season. we reveled in balmy
breezes, and Italian skies were a perpet-
ual feast for the eyes. Yet the local
health report exhibits the lowest mort
uary figures in the record of a city
which has the reputation of showing
the minimum death rate of all the cities
on tile continent. Thus, persons who
have been worrying about this excep-
tionally fine weather being dangerous to
health, will find that they have been
worrying without cause. The best
philosophy is to take good weather when
we can get it, without murmuring. and
to take it in whatever season it may
come

CALIFORNIA,s ANNEX.

1t is possible that the question of how
to get rid of played-out state may yet
become practical one. Nevada had, in
1880, vote of 1875, and at the recent
election but 12,27S. The failure of a
few mines would leave hardly anybody
there but the Indians and Chinese. 1t
is believed there is less than 10000 pop
ulation of white people there now. The
senators are San Francisco millionaires,
and Nevada is merely convenience
held by them to give senatorial honors.
They buy their election. and, of course,
only the very wealthy can afford the
luxury. 1t is a burlesque upon the
state system to have such farce con-
tinued, but no way has yet been sug-
gested of getting rid of even defunet
state. 1t is problem for the states

There has been return of the old love

in that country are seriously thinking OF
diverting the attention of the French
people from domestic troubles by en-
tering upon some foreign adventure.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Whether it is best to have an
extra session of congress, or not to
have it, is the question now per-
picking the Republican mind. There
are arguments of weight on both
sides of the question, and that is what
makes it so perplexing. The Republi-
can majority in the next house is so
small. that the party leaders fear to
take chances on what summer may
bring forth. They fear that between
March f. and the first Monday in the
following December, the wicked Demo-
Gratis may hatch a scheme for obtaining
control of the lower. house of congress,
and through the agency Of the Demo-
cratic clerk. who holds over until his
successor is elected, they may be
able to organize that body. Then,
again, there is the danger Of
death slipping in to decimate
the Republican majority, with all the
probability that new election in some
of the close districts would add to the
Democratic strength in congress. This
is the argument, and the only argument,
in favor of an extra session. The argu-
ments against an extra session are more
numerous, and in some respects more
potent. Extra sessions are never popu-
lar. The people are prejudiced against
them and unless some extraordinary Oc-
currence OF crisis in national affairs JUS
titles the assembling of congress in ex-
ira session, the president who issues the
call is sure to lose prestige. The Re-
publican leaders realize that it would be
bad for the HARRISON administration to
make break of, this kind so early
in it's career. Then with the re-
assembling of congress will come
the inevitable scramble for office,
and with 1t the rise of factional discord.
This, above all things else. is what the
Republican party wants to avoid in the
beginning of its restoration TO power.
1t went out of power four years ago in
blaze of factional fury, and to come
back with fires of discord burning as
fiereely as they did when the party went
out of power, would be a bad beginning
for the HARRISON administration. Con-
scious of this fact the Republican
leaders will go slow in advising an extra
session. It would be safer for the party
to take chances on losing control of the
house of representatives in the next
congress, than to jeopardize the success
of Gen. HARRIsoN's administration by
making it unpopular at the start.

SHOOTING AT A STONE.
How a Land League Drilled to Do
Murder.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-Before the Par
nell commission to-day a laborer named
Buckley, stated that he joined The Fen
ians at Trales in 1880. In 1882 man
named Roach was expelled from the
national league for causing the arrest Of
a Lacquer. At Fenian meeting it was
arranged that the witness. with two
men, whose names were Fitzgerald and
Phoenix. should shoot Roach. and re-
volyers were then given to them for that
purpose. After several unsuccessful
attempts to kill their man, meeting
was held at Cases house. at which
the witness was asked if he
would shoot Roach if the
league provided funds for his
escape to America. The witnesses con-
scented to the proposition and soon after
met Roach while the latter was driving
cattle. Buckley shot at his victim, but
his revolver missed fire. Roach then
took to his heels and escaped. The
witness was arrested and charged with
the attempted murder, but got off by
swearing to an alibi. The league gave
him $50 with which to go to America.
He was dissatisfied with the amount,
but Phoenix told him that he could not
expect any more seeing that he could
not kill Roach. On crosS-examination
Buckley said that before shooting at
Roach he Used to practice with the re-
volyer, shooting at stone the size of
mans head. This last confession caused
q sensation in court.
