Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL. Nd, December /, 1892
Representative Barnes Compton has returned
home after spending three weeks at Warm
Springs, n. c., where he went for the restora-
ton of his health. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Compton and their daughter, Miss Lille
journ at the springs.
When your correspondent visited him last
night he was almost buried under the stacks Of
applications for appointment, which came by
mail during his absence. many of them being
from residents of the District Of Columbia and
Of this congressional district, of whom he had
never heard before and, Of course, of whom he
knew nothing.
He says he does not intend to recommend
any man who is not qualified for the position
he seeks, and who cannot prove by the leading
democrats of his precinct that he is not only
democrat, but a working democrat. and as such
did his duty on and before the day of election
He says most positively only such will receive
his Endorsement, and that he expects the repre-
sentative democrats to recommend only such
to him. and that without their Enforcement he
will recommend no one for appointment to any
position. high or low. He takes this course
he says. that the blame for Unsatisfactory Sc
lections may rest on the democrats Of the
localities from which the appointments are
made.
He did not indicate how the District Of
Columbia democrats who seek his assistance
are to establish their loyalty, but it is to be
presumed that those who feed the army are as
loyal as those who do the fighting and as Mr.
Compton was chairman of the state democratic
central committee he ought to know. E.P. b

Congressman Brecisinridee's Daughter's
Legal Studies.


Lexington, Ky. dispatch to the New York
Times says: A pretty little story has been gain
ing currency within the las { few DAYS TO the ef-
feet that Miss Sophonisbs Breckenridge. the
bright and handsome daughter OF Col ". c. p.
Breckenridge, had just taken a bar examination
and been admitted to the practice Of law.
During her recent two years sojoun in
France and England with her school girl sister,
Miss Curry, Miss Breckenridge gave herself up
almost entirely TO the study Of law, with view
to assisting her father in his work. Since her
return she has kept up her legrl reading and
researches diligently, with the goal ever before
her that she so resolutely cherishes Miss
Breckenridge SAYS laughingly that il WAS the
irrepressible Susan Ii. Anthony who first pro-
claimed il 10 the world that she was an aspirant
for legal honors. before the idea xas in the
least formulated in Miss Breckinridge's own
mind.
Miss Anthony spent a winter in Washington
in the house with Col Breckinridge and his
family, in whom she vigorously strove TO in
doctrinate her womans rights principles. Miss
Breckinridge's penchant for a professional
career struck Miss Anthony as a step in the
right direction, a step which she proceeded to
advertise in numberless woman's suffrage pa
pers, to the amusement and sometimes discom-
future of her modest little victim Miss Breck-
inridge, the colonels second daughter, has
never had any prediction for the vsnisies and
frivolities OF society. Even in Washington her
labors in the city schools absorbed her interest
more than all the gay acts into which she Was
so constantly urged. and in her home, Lexing-
ton. stenography, literature and law absorb al
the attention she can spare from her household
duties.

me new SCUM wales Ministry Was Com
PEELED to swallow n.
An extremely significant vote took place in
the New South Wales parliament on October II,
when the protectioiist ministry saved itself
from defeat only by voting against a resolution
proposed by one Of their own supporter and
in favor Of an amendment offered by the most
bitter opponents Of protection the single tax
men.
IL was becoming more and more evident every
day that radical action on the baud question
could not be much longer delayed in New south
Wales, and with the evident design Of testing
the feeling Of the house Mr.. Chapman intro
duced a resolution declaring for progressive
land tax on holdings over Il 900 in value
This was opposed by Mr.. Cotton single
taKer who declared that If man holding land
up 10 gl.O00 in value was too poor 70 tax it
was clearer still that the man who owned no
land at all aud had only his hands 60 depend
upon ought not To be taxed by ad valorem
duties, aud who moved a straight single tax
substitute declaring:
That in the opinion Of this house a system
OF raising revenue by the direct taxation Of
land values, irrespective of improvements,
would greatly promote the welfare Of this
country"
In the debate which ensued Il was evident
that Mr.. Cotton's amendment would be car
ried, when the premier. Sir George Dibbs.
came out with the declaration that he should
vote for Mr.. Cotton's amendment. and with
further declaration that the government in
tended 20 press the local government bill
which authorizes the municipalities to raise
their revenues by tax on land values without
reference 10 the improvements on the land.
On division Mr.. Cotton's substitute ras
adopted in place of the original resolution by .
vote Of 46 20 IL. both the leader Of the govern
ha lar of tha

of 40 TO 10.
