CcnOrship of the Press.

Under the lottery law framed by Con-
gress and the instructions given by the
Postmaster General to his subordinates
throughout the country, there is serious
danger OF encrOachments on the liberty
of the press that should be rebuked and
opposed by the newspapers of the coun-
try without regard to party lines.
These postmasters are instructed to act
as censors and inspect all second class
matter, and whenever the postmaster
finds what he considers unlawful mat
ter, or even suspects that articles arc of
that character, he is authorized to sup
press the publication and refuse it pas
sage through the mails.
This dangerous innovation is claimed
under the specions prctcXt of suppress
ing lottery advertisements, and SO far
the public seems to acquicse without a
protest against this new assumption of
power. If this step meets with popular
favor then the next move will be to
examine lirst-class matter. breaking tho
seals OF letters in search of contrabanG
publications or writings. If that be ac-
complishcd then we will rapidly forget
the Louisiana State Lottery in the
multitude of grounds upon which these
poStmastcis can act as ccnsors OF press
and people. Lexington (Ny.) Press,

Tho Largest and Finest Steamships Ever

NORFOLK. Nov. la.-Eight large
foreign steamships are now in port load
ing cotton. with Il capacity of over fifty
thousand bales, a large proportion of
which will go to the Continent and to
France, which is an exceptional feature.
The largest and finest steamships ever
in this port are running here this sea-
son, while those of all the lines running
from Europe to Southern ports touch at
Lamberts Point on the outward trip,
making an active show of shipping in
the lower harbor.
These foreign ships and the large fleet
OF coasters always around the piers
leave considerable money with the Lam

THE WORLDS FAIR.
The President Resigns and then
Reconsiders the Resignation.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-[Speciall There
was 4 big sensation in Worlds Fair cir
cles to-day over tho action of President
Lyman J. Gage in rendering his resig-
nation to the board Of directors last
night.
1t was said i'll the morning papers that
President Gage had threatened to re-
sign at last nights meeting. AS Il mat
ter of fact, however, he did resign and
temporarily left the directors room and
went into an adjoining apartment.
The directors were thunderstruck and
in great haste reconsidered the offensive
resolution. and the president once more
returned to the room.
An authorized statement by President
Gage in regard to the matter is to effect
that the trouble arose over Il resolution
introduced by Director II. n. IIiggin-
botham in relation to IN apportionmcnt
OF the fair and the part which was to go
on the lake front. Tho resolution
placed about one-haif of the fair on the
lake front including attractive features.
This was contrary to previous plans. and
to clinch the matter the resolution
provided that there should be no changes
made. and the whole scheme pushed
through without any consultation with
the national commission. This ignor-
ing OF the national commission was
what chiefly aroused President Care
and led to the dramatic scene above
mentioned.

Ing ana Currency.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., December H.
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency met this morning and there
was general discussion Of the financial
situation.
There was considerable difference Of
opinion manifested. Several members
thought that the great need was a re-
storation of public confidence. and that
with this secured, financial affairs would
right themselves.
Mr.. Walker and one or two other
members of the committee were In favor
OF additional legislation Ia the interests
OF the National banks, and MIR. Walker
will draft bill TO meet his Views OF
what should be done TO permanently bet

The result Of the discussion was the
adoption OF resolution 10 request thu

ATKINSON's BILL
To Prevent Frauds at Elections Passes the
House Without Opposition.

Congressman Atkinson succeeded in get

election officers into those of the clerks

he remembered, grew out of the Atkin-
SOn-Pendleton contest. Mr.. Atkinson
alleged that his name had been scratch

him in Wetzel county, while the cleo
tiOn returns We're i'm the Clerks Office

the merits of this claim, which the

Mr.. Atkinson drew up % meet similar
cases in the future, seemed 10 meet
with general approval in the House,
and there was no objection 20 its passage
to-day.
Democratic members asked questions
about it and these were answered by
Mr.. Atkinson 20 their satisfaction. The
bill was called for by the discovery that
while the United states statutes pro-

GLADSTONE'5 SPEECH
On the Irish Situation-The Policy of the
Liberal Party.

LONDON, December 11.-Mr. Glad
stone upon arriving at Redford, ad-
dressed a meeting of 1000 persons. He
said he had anticipated that the Irish
members by their action would settle
the present difficulty. The continuance
of Mr.. Parnell in the leadership would
be fatal to Home Rule in Ireland, Scot
land and Wales. Parnell was no longer
the leader of the Irish NationalistS,
who had separated themselves from
him. He (Gladstone) admitted that the
Irish party ought to be independent,
and that the consideration and settle
ment of this question ought to be left to
them. but there was something beyond
all considerations in Irish politicS,
namely the great cause OF liberalism III
England. Ireland and Scotland.
The trouble respecting the Irish lead
ership. he said, was an additional rea-
son for the granting Of Home Rule.
WHY should English and Scotch and
Welsh politics depend upon the choice
of an Irish leader? The confidential
communications between the Liberal
and Home Rule parties and his conver-
sation with Mr.. Parnell at llawarden in
November, 1889, he said were iully sat
isfactory 10 both parties. That TACT
was proved not by himself, because he
had no reason publicly to speak about
II. hut by the other party. He believed
that the O'Shea divorce proceedings
would entirely destroy the moral force
needed in ireland for any one who would
me the leading champion OF the
National cause. The Liberals felt that
in granting Home Rule they constituted
the Irish leaders. The Liberals were
unwilling after what had appeared in
the divorce court relative to the report
ed conduct of Mr.. Parnell, to make him
the constitutional Governor OF ireland.
II was absolutely untrue that Mr.. Nor
lev had suggested that Mr.. Parnell mold
Office under the British crown before
Home Rule was conceded. The Liberal
nartv's work in Parliament was to re-
sist coercion in ireland, and that work
was as sacred and as urgent now as IL
had ever been. no matter who might be
the leader Of the Irish party
Mr.. Gladstone subsequently addressed
an audience of 5000 persons at Work
son He counscled his hearers not to
abandon Ireland on account OF anything
that had happened to an individual. The
DIFFERENTIATION OF the Liberals was ire
vocoble: they could not undertake TO
support effectually the cause OF home
rule at the next election in connection
with one particular name.
