WHILE the appointments made by the
President average evenly-not 6rst-class,
but fair-there are some which cannot
find any justification whatever Tanner,
Grant, Halstead, Egan, are by no means
good selections for the positions. Tanner
and Egan would not be good selections
for any office of Importance. Taken
altogether, the Presidents Cabinet and
the appointments he has made do not
reach the standard Of Hayes, Of Garfield,
or Of Arthur. In fact the inaugural, the
Cabinet and the appointments put the
seal Of dreary commonplaceness on the
President. The average is below the
standard Of his party predecessors and
does not in any manner approach the
standard Of Mr. Cleveland.

which had to pass before April 1, so that
the loan could be issued.

read third time by sections; and after
being amended as requested by the bid

Major Lydecker,s Sentence,


WASHINGTON, May 3.-The sentence
of the general court martial in the case o
Mai. Lydecker, of the corps of engineers,
who was tried on charges arising out o.
the acqueduct tunnel frauds, was made
public this afternoon and is as follows:
TO forfeit to the United States 800 per
month OF his pay for nine months and to
be reprimanded in general order"
The court is thus %lenient in view of the
evidence before it; that in spaces so con
fined as those above the arch in the tun-
mel it was almost impossible to secure
thoroughly good work under the contract
system imposed by law.
President Harrison, in approving the
sentence, SAYS: The offense of this off
Ger was the neglect OF a very high and
important duty. 1t was not very import
ant from a military standpoint, whether
pecuniary loss did or did not result to the
government, but that very great loss and
inconvenience has been inflicted upon the
community by the delays which have re-
suited from the failure to discover the
faulty and fraudulent character of the
work is apparent. The suggestion that
the s~trictest and most faithful supervision
of the progress of such work is powerless
to detect and correct shams which are
practiced by the contractors in this case. is
a dlscredit to the engineering profession
and entirely inadmissable."

ParnelI at a Disadvantage.

LONDON, May 3.-During to-day

CURED a 1st remarkable incident. At
torncy-General Webster quoted the state.
ment made by Parnell in the commons
during the debate on Fosters bill in 81,
%suspendlng the writ of babeas corpus, to
tho effect that secret societies had then
ceased to exist in Ireland.
did you believe that when You said
ltP' asked the encouragement.
No" replied Parnell "at any rate
it was a grossly exaggerated statement"
There was a buzz of surprise throughout
the courtroom at this response.
ID you or did you not" continued
the Encouragement, Intend to mistake
the fact when you made that statemenf?''
II have no doubt | did, was the re-
ply.
Attorney eneral- .'Deliberately2"
Parnell-'Yes; deliberately. y.
Attorney General-"You deliberately
made the statement, knowing it to be un-
true2"
Parnell-"Yes; or if not untrue, very
e~xtravagant and boastful."
Attorney General-"You have never
since Withdrawn it?"
Parnell-''No; | have not"
The nonchalance with which the wit
ness made these admissions aslonished the
audience and elected Kisses.
Probably, y added Parnell, the state
ment vas to mislead the house; I am
afraid it did not, for the bill was passed.
My purpose was to exaggerate the effect
the league had in reducing the
number Of secret societies. The
league undoubtedly diminished the
number of secret societies, though it had
not swept them away as | stated.
Parnell was mex asked what had be-
come of the land league books. He ex-
planned that some of them had been
brought to London and were before the
commission. The cash books aud ledgers
had disappeared; he did not know where.
Neither was Treasurer Kenny, Egan or
any of the league officials able to tell what
became of them. The letter books and
files of letters had also vanished. Pre-
siding Justice Harmon here impressed
upon the witness the fact that the court
attached great IN Importance to the missing
documents, and Parnell promised to try
to find them.
