No MOVE MADE YEr.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch says: Many inquiries are
received here asking just when the
Virginia delegation will get together
to agree on a plan for settling the ques
ton of appointments, in which the
whole delegation have an interest. No
move has yet been made in this direc-
ton. In 1885 the delegation did not
get together in formal conference un-
til about the latter part of April. This
year they will probably all go home
right after the 4th of March and not re-
turn until they are notified they can
get a chance to be heard Mr. Cleve-
land, it is said, will want all the mouth
of March to make changes in foreign
ministers of the first and second classes,
and TO appoint the more important
heads of big bureaus in the departments
and he will hardly give a hearing to
State matters until May or June. In
1855 Virginia was favored because there
was desire to rid the State Of most of
Mahone's friends at as early date as
possible. The Virginia delegation may.
however, get together for consultation
in the early spring, but perhaps not I'M
i'll Mr.. Cleveland and his cabinet indi-
cate that something is in sight. Like
the applicants for places, they will also
have TO wait.

THE War Department, to which the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railroad bill was referred for
its opinion on the section providing for
a bridge across the Potomac at Airing
ton, has not increased its reputation for
wisdom by its report thereon, for in
that report it says The navigation ofthe
Potomac above the Long Bridge is as
Stunning large proportions, that the pro
posed bridge would be an obstruction to
navigation, that Congress is going TO
buihd better bridge at Arlington, and,
finally, that the proposed bridge would
be preiudicial to the public interests
and is unnecessary, as travel can be
better accommodated farther up the
river. Every body, except the war en-
gineers who prepared this report,
knows that the navigation" if by that
is meant the commerce, of the Potomac
above the Long Bridge is nothing like
as large as it used to be, and IS decreas-
ing year by year that ali commercial
vessels that now go TO Georgetown 90
in tow, and that to tug boats bridges OF
fer no obstruction that Congress, es-
pccially in view OF a large deficit, will
not build bridge across the Potomac
when railroad company agrees to do
50 at its own expense, and that travel
between Washington and Mt. Vernon
and the country between, can mol be bet
ter accommodated by bridge above
Georgetown than by the one proposed !;
and now the latter could be prejudicial

AS THERE are niue members Of the
[. S. Supreme Court, and as six OF them
are republicans, it would have been
pushing partisanism 10 its EXTREMIST
limit if President Harrison had nomi-
mated another republican for the seat in
that court made vacant by the recent
death of Secretary Lamar. In selecting
Judge Jackson, of Tennessee, Tor the
position, he has not made mistake,
though Representative Houl, Of the
Judges own State, says that by doing
so. che has betrayed the republican par
tv, because the Judge believes in the
strict construction of the Constitution, =
and though Senator Dolph, of Oregon,
says he "can't understand how arepub-
lican could appoint democrat" Presi-
dent Harrison is at least better than
some of his party.

a wonderful story by those not informed as to

OK THE subject Of pensions IN tins
country English people are certainly
disinterested an dunprejudiced, and are
therefore enabled to treat it fairly
The following is what the 81. Jomes's
Go-ette of London says oft:
.The people Of the United States are
in the habit of congratulating them
selves upon their freedom from crush
inc military burdens. Looked nj in the
l:sht of the pension list. the boast Is
seen to be empty enough. The reason
for the enormous increase IS that Con-
gress, being compelled to find some
means-of spending the huge sums
noIlred into the Golfers III Washington,
has waived tie rule which formerly re-
ouircd Old soldiers to prove that their
disability to earn theirlivin@ originated
in the service OF the Republic. Thus, Ii
Il man who, thirty years ago, served IN
the war has his finger cut oil by acct
dent he GETS his pension. In point OF
fact. however. it seems to be sufficient
to get Your desire to live on the State
represented in the proper quarter, and
the pension drops into your mouth like
Il ripe PLAN.
Aud yet when an unsuccessful at
tempt was reccntly made in Congress,
by a northern man, to reduce pension
expenditures, by droppins..trom the list
some at least OF those not entitled to
pensions, it was opposed by southern
democrats, who could not have acted
in accordance with their convictions,
and must have been impelled by the
fear Of being called ''rebels' by men
who would have respected them more
had they voted otherwise.

IN THE case between parish priest
and the Bishop of the Newark diocese,
MGR Satol!i has decided in favor of the
former, as he did in the case of Dr.. Nc
Glynn and Archbishop Corrigan of New
York. Such decisions must naturally
tend to destroy the authority of the
Catholic bishops in this country, and to
induce the priests to do as they think
proper. That such condition would
not be conducive to the church's well
fare goes without saying.

A NEW JusTICE.-The President yes
tcrday evening sent to the Senate the
nomination of Howell E. Jackson to be
associate justice Of the Supreme Court

mar, deceased. Judge Jackson is a
democrat and is now the judge of the
sixth judicial circuit, composed of Ten
nessee. Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.
The nomination came as great sur
prise and was received while the Sen
ate was in executive session. With the
exception of a few who think the Pres
dent should have appointed u repubii-
can. the nomination was well received.
There will, it is said, be little ifany OPP
position to his confirmation.
Howell ildmunds Jackson is a native
and lifelong Tenncssecan, having been
born ut Paris, Tenn, April s, 1882, be-
inc. therefore, 81 years ofagc. lie was
graduated from West Tennessee Col
lege in 1915 and afterwards spent two
wears at the University ofNrginia. He
served on the Supreme Bench OF his
state twice by appointment. He was
elected to the State House OF Repre-
scn.atives in 1850 on the State credit
platform, and was very soon afterwards
elected to the L. S. Senate as demo,
crat, serving from March i, 1881, until
March 3, 1881.

also the financial strength sufficient for
its accomplishment.
We, therefore, ask you to take up this
reorganization of thc Richmond Termi-

ing you our personal support, and in
full confidence that the sccurity-holders
will support lis in the request. We APP
preciate the labor and responsibility
connected with the undertaking, and
are. therefore, willing TO do all in our
power to give you full control ofthe re-
organization, as suggested in yourlette

cases. Vey respectfully,
