added that Piggott had made his escape
assisted by a body-guard consisting of an
Irish constable and tive Scotland Yard
detectives. Labouchere, Sir Charlel
said, had received letter from Egan, in
July, 1888, in consequence of which q
number of documents were handed to
Labouchere. Sir Charles asked permis-
sion to call witnesses to testify to infor-
nation which the Court ought to have.
LONDON, February 26.--In Bow Street
Police Court this afternoon, warrant
was issued for the arrest of Piggott for
perjury and forgery against Parnell,
Egan ct al. The Parnell Commission
adjourned till tomorrow to allow the
Times counsel to decide what course 10
pursue and what part of the case to
abandon. Professor Mcguire, Houston's
patron and colleague, who had been
summoned to testify for the Times, died
suddenly to-day. 1t is reported he had
stroke of apoplexy upon hearing that
Piggott had fed.
LONDON, February 27.-From a gentle
man high in authority in the prosec ution
of the Parnell- Times case, a representa-
tive of the Associated Press to-day heard
the true story of how the conspiracy
against Parnell was detected. It consti-
tutes one of the most romantic narra-
tives in the history of politics. Without
the evidence by which the conspiracy was
the Times would undoubtedly
have won its case, notwithstanding the
spuriousness of the letters. Up to July
last year, Parnell, his counsel and COL
league, were wholly at sea, and every ef-
fort to discover the forger and get at the
bottom of the case had proved futile.
At this time evidence was sent from the
United States by young Catholic priest,
Rev. Father Dorney, Of Chicago, to
whom it had been entrusted by Patrick
Egan and Alexander Sullivan, its COM

Gus for Speaker of the House. All of

No action was taken by the caucus as

until the Republican programme was
known.

FLEETS LAND.
A Decision Of the Commissioner on
Land Near Tacoma.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 5.-Com-
missioner Croft, OF the General Land
Office has rendered decision in the
cases of John Fleet, James DeLacey
and John Algyre vs.. the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, involving a
quarter section near Tacoma, Wash.
The tract is within the PR nary limits
of the Northern Pacific grant.
Fleet settled on the land under the
presumption laws in the spring of 1869,
made the necessary improvements,
and in the fall of 1870 went to the To-
cal land Office and made final proof,
but the Register refused to listen to
him, declaring it belonged to the rail
road company. He moved away and
has not since lived upon the land. In
1883 Algyre moved ON the land and
built a house, but he has not resided
there since 1854. In 1856 Delacy
settled ON the land has since resided
there AMI has made valuable improve
ments.
The Commissioner decision states
that Fleet holds the land on his rights
under the act of March 3, 1887, hold
ing his abandonment involuntary, and
allows him to complete his entry. The
Commissioner also holds that neither
Algyre nor DeLacy can have any
claim to the land, for, unless Fleet is
entitled to it, it must belong to the
railroad company under its grant. The
land is said to be worth 100000.

Representative Randall hopes to oc-
cUpy his seat in the House Monday.
He also hopes 10 lie able to take as ac-
tive Il part in the legislation OF the
session as lac has Away, done. The
last hope can hardly TIC realized, I'M
les Mr. Randall possesses 4 great deal
more strength than lis appearance in

Assistant Secretary BUssey, OF the
Department OF the Interior, takes up
the greater part OF his annual report
in defending the pension decisions he
has made since last March. \ judi
cial decision should always be It's own
defense, but then perhaps Mr. Bussey
doesn't consider is decisions judicial.
Anyway there is something about his
report that seems out Of keeping with
good taste and the general fitness OF
things.
Secretary Tracy may now claim to
he even with Secretary Noble for the
Tanner dismissal. Last week Mr. No
BILE made a call on five OF the most
prominent of the re-rated officials OF
tons. One of them is protege OF Mr..
Tracy, to whom he at once went in
his trouble The result of the inter
view was that the officials refused to
resign, and announced their intention
of fighting for their places. In the
meantime it was whispered around
that Mr.. Tracey had determined to
make this fight to the death, and
that if he failed to keep his men in
the Pension Office he would leave the
! Cabinet. Just as things had reached
/ this interesting stage the semi-oiiicial
announcement is made that out OF
personal consideration for the men
concerned, Secretary Noble had decid-
ed not to dismiss the officials who re-
fused to resign. Personal tiddlesticks!
He found out that Secretary Tracy's
Congressional backing was about ten
times heavier than his own and con-
Guided it was better to back down than
to get knocked down.
Representative Hooker thinks the
recent elections have reminded the
Republicans that minority and Repub-
licanism may be synonymous some
times and that they will not attempt
to pass set of rules in the House
which will deprive the minority OF its
parliamentary rights.
Arrangements have been made by
the Navy Department. to secure the
new smokelcss powder for the small
arms in that branch of the service.
Senator Berry says the Democrats
of the Senate will be able to say what
will not be done by that body, but
they will have to allow their oppo-
ncnents the privilege of deciding what
will be done.
The Speakership nomination will be
settled at the Republican caucus to
morrow night, and not before. The
field is still energetically working to
get up some sort of combination tC
"down" Reed, but unless they make 8
great deal more progress in the nexl
twenty-four hours than there is now
any indication of they have LITTLE
hopes OF success.

monopoly

Total farm mortgages in these States
amounts to $3,725,OOO,OOO.
By the census of 1880 the total
value if all the farms in these was $5,-
107 ,04O,003, and it is doubtful if the
census of 1890 will show them to be
more valuable than in 1880.
These mortgages with the enormous
interest accommodating, will, in ten
years eat up the farm, and force their
holders to be tenants. If this is the
result of twenty-five years of protec-
ton to the American industries, then
what will be the result ten years hence
with protection =?

A REPUBLICAN VIEw-Every man
has a good character until he loses it,
and the Republican party can not
successfully plead its former reputa-
ton if it ever loses it or falls below it.
The issue is and will continue to be
the tariff for many years, and on that
issue parties will rise or fall. If New
England manufacturers continue to
scream for raw materials for their in
dustries, Massachusetts may some day
initiate Connecticut and vote the
Democratic ticket. In any event, we
may be sure that present issues OF a
political and non-sentimental charac-
ter will take the country rather than
appeal to the past record OF either
party. The era OF sentimental politics
is over and that of purely practical
"pocket" politics has begun.-Orego-
