Chamberlain Wants Action on Irish Oues-
tiOns.

LONDON, March 2O-Mr. Joseph Cham
berlain has addressed letter to his con-
stituents, in which he expresses the opinion
that the time has arrived when the gov
ernment should prove its readiness to pro-
pose a substitute for Mr.. Gladstone's re-
jected Irish bills. If large and final
measure of land purchase could be passed
it would greatly lessen the difficulties in
the way of gtanting to Ireland a liberal
local government. These questions, he in
Inmates, will be openly and fully discussed
at the coming Easter conference.

PEsTH, March 2O.-When Herr Won Tisza
arrived at the lower house of the Hunga-

that had gathered outside the building
groaned and Kissed at the Prime Minister,
shouting "Get outw Resign" An alterca-

Polonyi and Herr Kroitzik. The quarrel
will probably lead to duel. The house
held secret sitting to discuss the matter.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Jeff Davis Denies that the Southern Confed-
eracy Meditated a Union of the Two.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 20-The statement
having been published in several quarters
that the government of the late Southern
COnfederacy meditated union of church
and state, DR.. j. William Jones, secretary
of the Southern Historical Society, to-day
received the following letter from Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis:

Dear Sir-I have received yours Of the 18th
instant, with the inclosed slip. The story refer
red to is not only untrue but absurd. The Con-
stitutiOn of the Confederate States differed from
that OF the United States by having in its pream-
bic a reception of the Supreme Being, and lin
vOking the favor and guidance of Almighty
God" and in a section of the first article ii is
said, Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof"
No such prohibition was contained in the Con-
stituton of the United States, as originally
adopted, but the same prohibition was made by
spirit and letter of the Constitution by the Con-
federate States government was so marked a
feature as never to have been denied by it's worst
enemies, but IL these silly ISLANDERS be worthy OF

HAVANA, March 2o.-General Salamanca,
since his arrival here, has been indefatiga-
BILE in his labors and is constantly on the

tion of affairs. He has made frequent visits
to the iails, hospitals and other institutions.
Several DEGREES. having in view the welfare
of the people, have been issued. One re-
trious citizens will be protected against
their depredations, and another assures
them that severe measures will be taken to

with the new GovernOr-general,a and there
is for him only unstinted praise.

SUMNER NOTE.

To counteract the influence of the
flannel shirt craze, which threatens to
carry the country by storm next July
and August, some of the wide-awake
shirt manufacturers are produc-
ing feather-weight summer shirt
in light cambria and linen.
These shirts will weigh but
few ounces. The ladies have caught
the flannel shirt idea from their sweet
hearts and big brothers, and will wear
jaunty flannel blouses during the hot
weather. The blouses are made princi-
pally in loud checks and stripes, and are
designed to be worn on all informal Oc-
casions where freedom and comfort are
studied.

The Man for the Place.

We note with sincere qualification
the movement in favor of EX- Senator
Creswell's appointment to the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench of the United
States, caused by the death OF Justice
Stanley Matthews.
The appointment of Gen. Creswell
to this high position could not but be
gratifying not only to all Marylanders,
but to the people generally throughout
this section of the country, for his en-
viable reputation as an able and up
right statesman and jurist is not bound
ed by state lines, nor is the appreciation
of his eminent worth confined to any
class of people. But here, where he is
SO well known, the people are especially
DESTROYS of his appointment, and the
members of the Hartford County Bar
have united in a memorial to the Pres
ident, urging his selection tor this posi-
ton. A similar memorial has been
signed by the Cecil County Bar.
This, it seems to US, is Gen. Harri-
sons golden opportunity. He could
take no more effective step toward
Matchmaking his administration, OBJ
literating sectional lines, and making
the Solid South a thing of the past,
than by the elevation to the Supreme
Bench OF Southern Republican of the
high character and attalnments OF Gen.
Creswell. 1t would not only encourage
and strengthen the very best element
in the Republican party Of Maryland
and the South, but would inspire good
men of all parties with confidence in
his expressed determination to make
his administration broad and liberal and
worthy OF the respect and support of
the whole people.-BeL AH Times.

The proposition to increase the pay
of members of Congress will revive a
debate as old as the Constitution itself.
1t was proposed at first that they should
serve like members of Parliament with
out compensation, but objection was
made to that proposition because it
would limit membership to the wealthy
Or deprive the poor man of his indie
pendence If he should accept the office
ard have his expenses paid by his con-
stituency. 1t was finally agreed that
Senators and Representatives should
receive a compensation for their SER
vices "to be ascertained by law" The
question as to the amount a Congress
man should be paid has been a fire.
quent subject OF debate since then,
though the conservatives have managed
to keep it down, so that the Office should
not be temptation to polltlclans,
merely because of the pay attached.
But what is moderate and reasonable
salary at one time becomes insufficient
at another and more luxurious period
to meet necessary expenses. Some
Congressman are greatly overpaid at
$4,000 year and Others are quite as
much underpaid. 1t is not an easy
matter to strike fair average, and not
practicable to follow the example of the
base ball men with their players-grade
them and pay them according to theil
rank.-PhiladeIphia Ledger.

The Hagerstown Mail assumes that
the Republicans need put forth no ex-
ira effort to carry Maryland, for "the
Democratic bosses will do the job for
them" This from a Democratic paper
is refreshing. 1t adds further:
at may as we'll be understood first
as last that the people will not tolerate
any longer the nomination of members
OF the Legislature for the sole purpose
of serving boss or lobby. We will
probably have better methods or Re-
publican rule"
Commenting still further on the poll
tical condition OF the state it says:
The great danger is from Baltimore
city. There the nominations to the as
sembly have been made, not in the in
terest of the city or the state or thu
party, but inimical to all. The conteS
has been whether the henchmen of this
or that one OF the three prominent loca
bosses should be nominated and whel
elected, dealers IN legislation woul'
negotiate with their owner for the who'll
block of the city votes. 1t has no
been uncommon tor the city press ant
city business men to appeal to TIT
county members for protection agains
their own representatives in matters c
local legislation.

The name of Hon John A. ]. Cres-
we'll has been generally received through
out the State with marked evidences
of approval, as the successor of the late
Associate Justice Matthews Of the Su-
preme Bench. Full endorsements OF
the Bench and Bar of a number OF
counties of the State have been for
warded to Washington, and his profes-
sional associates of the Baltimore Bar
are very generally testlfying their APP
proval by letters and otherwise of his
appointment. The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore SIN said
on Thursday that among Southern Re-
publicans, there are few men whose
loyalty to their party, professional abil-
tiles and personal qualities suggest a
fitness for the place which is equal to
that of Mr.. Creswell, of Maryland. AS
one of the representatives Of the best
elements of Southern republication,
and the opposite of a carpet bag leader
of colored cohorts, he is a man upon
whom the President could safely confer
this great office, and there does not
seem to be a Southern Republican
whose selection would be more crafty
ing to the South or more creditabe to
the appointing power. Mr.. Creswel's
name is becoming more prominent
every day in the discussion of the sui
ject at the seat of government. Judge
Hughes, of Virginia, is another South
ern Republican of character and ability,
whose appointment would give general
satisfaction.

1t is stated that President HARRISON

1t is stated that President Harrison
has rendered the post-office at Rich
mond, Virginia, to Mrs. Stonewall Jack
son. This lady lived in Richmond un-
til few years since, when her daughter
was married. She has been living with
her father, in North Carolina, during
the past six months. Her father has
reached a very advanced age, for which
reason she declined the tender of the
post-ofice at Lexington, Virginia, where
the body of her husband Is buried. Her
friends in Richmond, however, will en-
deavor to induce her to accept the
Richmond post-mastership, which is a
lucrative one. 1t is stated that the
President thinks that, by appointing
Mrs. Jackson, he will not have to recog-
hize either of the contending Republi-
can factions, and will, at the same time,
give the position to lady held in high
esteem by all.

Commissioner Tanner the new chic
of the Pension Bureau, with the ap-
proval of the Secretary of the Interior
has just made the following ruling as to
pensions which is of importance to the
heirs of deceased pensioners. Pursuant
to the act of Congress approved March
I, 1889, whenever pension certificate
of any character, original, increase,
restoration, arrears or otherwise shall
have been issued by this bureau, and
the beneficiary mentioned therein is
found to have died before payment, the
amount due on said certificate to the
date of said pensioners death will be
paid to the widow of such pensioner.
If there be no widow then said amount
will be paid to the minor child or child
rem OF said deceased pensioner. If
there be neither widow nor MINOR
children, then the amount due said de-
ceased pensioner will, In the discretion
of the Secretary of the Interior, be paid
to the executor or administrator of his
estate. Minor children as contemplated
by this act are minors recognized as
such by the lex loci.

The Hagerstown Mail a prominent
Democratic paper has recently been
reading its party in Maryland a few
wholesome lessons upon the political
situation IN the State, which some Of
its Democratic contemporaries show a
disposition to resent. The SIN espe-
cially has recently made the Mail the
subject of sarcastic ridicule for its too
truthful utterances, yet the latter journal,
has, whether sincerely or not recently
been quite as outspoken in sounding
the note of warning to its party. APP
preciatlng the importance ofthe coming
election in Maryland, it strikes the nail
on the head in calling public attention
to the character of the Representatives
sent from Baltimore to the Legislature,
and forcibly portrays the "audacity"-
not honesty-that has characterized
Democratic management in the State.

The initial number of The Amend-
ment the official campaign organ of the
Prohibitlonists appeared in Philadelphia
this week, and which will be issued
weekly until the election, which will
decide the fate of the proposed prohi
bitory amendment in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Joshua L. Baily has an interesting
article in this plumber showing the
changes effected in the character OF the
saloons of Philadelphia, and the result
in criminal statistics, under the Crooks
Law now in force in that city.
Mr.. Baily said: The decrease in the
number of commitments to the county
prison in nine months under high Ii
cense as compared with the cores
pondind period of the previous year
amount to 1876, while the commit
ments for intoXication during the same
time show decrease of $500, ard the
commitments to the House of Correc-
ton for the same period show a de.
crease of 735.
The writer claims, however, that there
is no proof of dimunition in the con-
sumption Of liquors, but that the sales
of liquors, by brewers to private fami-
lies have increased many fold. In con-
cluslon he says: eff the prohibitory
features of license law can be made
effective to reduce by more than one
half the number of saloons in the State,
prohibition without the license feature
is the agency we should now invoke to
close the remainder"

MR.. HALSTEAD'S REJECTION.

The rejection by the Senate of the
sarcastic Ohio E !itor being the pre-
vailing topic of public interest at
Washington, the following from the
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger will be read with interest.
An event has Just occurred in this conuec-
ton which has caused considerable dis
cussiou and given rise to much specula-
ton. Tie relations existing between
Secretary Blaine and Senator Sherman
are not of that character to induce social
intercourse between these two gentlemen.
They met to day (Monday) however, at
the White House, by previous arrange
ment and perhaps upon the request of the
President, with whom they spent nearly
an hour 1t is supposed the conference
was in reference to the rejection of Murat
Halstead, in whose appointment each of
the three high officials felt personal in
terest. The President is disappointed and
feels somewhat aggrieved at the action of
the Senate in rejecting Mr.. Halstead, and
was disposed to again send in his name.
This, however, wonid have had the ap
pearance of a challenge, and would, per
haps, have produced a feeling of antag-
onism between that body and the Execu-
the Presidential term, therefore Mr.. Hal
stead's friends, Including Secretary Blaine
and Senator Sherman, concluded that it
would be impolitic to again present that
gentieman's name at this session and ac-
cordingly the President has been advised
to wait ultil final adjournment and then
appoint Mr.. Halstead Minister to Ger
many, subject to the advice and consent
of the Senate next winter The rejection
of Halstead does not make any disquali-
ficatlon for future appointment or affect
the right of the President to appoint HIM
to Germany during the recess. 1t is be-
lieved this will be done aud that MIR. Hal
stead will be appointed within ten days
following the final adjournment. In such
cases the President is required to nomin-
ate within ten days of the next session,
and the appointment holds good until the
Senate acts upon iJ. Friends of Halstead
believe that if appointed during the re-
cess he will be confirmed next December.
There has been considerable speculation
upon the probable cause that impelled
Senator Quay to vote against Halstead.
Quay was not Senator when Haistead
made his now celebrated denunciation of
certain members of that body, and there
fore many persons infer his vote was not
given on account of the editor offending
in this particular. In the absence of any
other revealed cause, the opinion has
been expressed that Quay's vote is an act
of hostility against the Administration,
because of the promised appointment OF
John Field to the Philadelphia post-otfice.
