Defense of the Craftsmen,

To TIE Editor o. The Evening Star:
Will you allow me space in which to make a
few remarks in defense of the craftsmen in the
supervising architects Office, who have been
attacked and slandered in the discussion Of the
outside architects the designing and construc-
ton o. public buildings.
The repor. of the committee Of the House on
the bill. for which Mr.. Tarsuey of Missouri is
responsible, includes the statements that the
work of preparing drawings for the various
post Offices. custom houses. DC, is done by
cheap clerks and 'mere copyists, and that
The bans of iIany buildings are copied" from
those previously made for other structures.
As a measure of justice it is but right to the
craftsmen thai the pubic and some so-called
inteliigen; legislators should know that these
statements are absolutely false. The working
force of the Office is composed Of trained men
Whose ability averages at least as high as that
found In outside Offices, and whose salaries,
which are earned, are not those Of Cheap"
men, The quality of the work is equal to that
OF the best Offices in the country and the
amount done per man will compare favorably
with that in any other Office
As TO the charge of using one set Of plans for
another building the writer can state from
actual knowledge covering the last four years
that such thing has never been done or even
suggested Only last week when the bill came
up for final passage Mr. Bankhead, the chair
man OF the committee on public buildings.
repeated this absurd statement about ..copying
plans. 1t seems strange that men in such po-
siiions should not investigate and make them
selves familiar with the subjects over which they
have jurisdiction and avoid such an exhibition
of ignorance and injustice to men who cannot
strike back ONE o. THE DRAFrsMEN.

THE POPE'S JUBILEE.
Nearly Sixty Thousand Attended the Mas
in st. Peters.


At daybreak yesterday the pealing Of church
bells in Rome announced the celebration of the
pope's episcopal jubilee. BY O'Clock thou
sands Of pilgrims and citizens were crowded
before the doors of st. Peters. At 5 o'clock
two battalions of infantry in full uniform we're
drawn up before the Cathedral of st. Peters.
SO as to be ready to aid the 200 or more gen.
darmes in preserving order. The crowds
swelled steadily, but remained quiet despite
the tremendous pressure caused by some 5000
ticket holders in their hopeless struggle to get
near the DOORS
At G o'clock the cathedral doors we're opened
and the foremost OF the crowd swept in
Within half an hour the great building was
packed to the steps; 10000 pilgrims and q, 900
or 10000 Catholics from Rome gained admis-
sion. No fewer than 10000 persons. many Of
them ticket holders, were turned away by the
military, who cleared the spaces round the
building SO as to prevent disorder when the
service closed
The pope entered the catheral at 945, pale
but smiling. and apparently in somewhat better
health than usual. The cathedral rang with
tumultuous cheering as the pope WAS borne to-
ward the altar. His holiness officiated at the
special jubilee mass, informing the opening words
OF the lie Deum and giving his blessing in q
clear. penetrating voice.
Inc mass lasted until l0:45. but apparently
did not fatigue his holiness He remained in
the cathedral forty-five minutes after the cele-
bration and then proceeded to his apartments
The crowds dispersed slowly. At noon most of
them had gone and quarter Of an hour later
the military withdrew
Yesterday afternoon the Irish pilgrims
attended service in the Church Of st. Sylvester
and were blessed by Cardinal Logue. The
English pilgrims. at st. Georges, received the
blessing from Cardinal Vaughan.
The weather was magnificent all day. The
air was mild and dry and the sun shone
uninterruptedly. Last evening st. Peters and
all the other churches ali the converts and
hundreds Of private houses were illuminated
The streets we're thronged and The square in front
of st. Peters was almost impossible. without
exception. however. the people were perfectly
orderly. Not an arrest was reported. King
Humbert and Queen Margaret took their usual
drive through the city Yesterday and everywhere
were saiuted respectfully.

A Cowboy District Attorney.

From the Galveston Daily News.
Everybody in the Panhandle knows Lorenzo
Dow Miller. Better than that, everybody likes
him and admires him. Dow lives at Panhandle
City and is district attorney and rules over
twenty mine counties. He is genius
Born in Texas, he went to the Panhandle
years ago. when the Indians were still in the
country. His capital consisted of an unusual
amount of common sense and a six-shooter.
He went out on the plains q cowboy and has
punched long horns all the way from Lost val
ley to the neutral strip. Around his camp fro
at night he pored over an old volume OF Black
stone. Before very long he bought some more
books. Honest, sober and industrious he made
friends as fast as the prairie grass grows in the
spring or yeariing runs in a stampede. He
astonshed the world one day by announcing his
candidacy for district attorney. He astonished
the world on the day after the election by hav-
ing beaten W. H. woodman, his opponent.
From that time Dow has gone on until he is
invincible in his district. One of his argu-
ments, made before a Greer county jury be-
fore the yernacular OF the ranch had given way
to the polish of the effete east was as follows
Gentlemen Of the jury. look at that prisoner.
His phiz is dead tough. He's thief. and a
sneak thief at that. Look at those kuots on
the back of his head. They are the bumps of
cussedness. How l came to know is 1 travelled
with circus once and got on to the racket.
Now want to give you confidential stiff and
drop few points into your system. II you
turn that fellow loose the bars of every ranch
in this county will be down before Sunday
night and some fine steers will be LOST
He left the case go and the man got two
years.
You must know Miller to appreciate him.
You must hear him tell how he bluffed judge
out of ining him for contempt by threatening
to attach the aforesaid judge as witness IN
Hansford county, and thus compel him to 60
200 miles across the country in the snow.

The Senate on Saturday afternoon, without q
word of opposition, confirmed the nomination
Of Judge Howell E. Jackson to be an associate
justice Of the Supreme Court. The Senate
went into executive session at o'clock and ten
minutes later the nomination had been con-
frmed and the doors were again open.- 1t has
seemed as though the opposition but desired to
postpone confirmation until the chance for the
appointment of circuit judge by the Presi-
dent had passed. Should Mr.. Harrison now
send in a name, with only eleven days OF the
session left, it is probable some resistance
would be encountered by the person appointed,
even though he we're democrat.

Appointment Of Senators by Governors.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
The frequent illusions seen in the press to
contemplated appointment Of Senators by the
governors Of those states where the continued
failure Of legislatures 70 elect. presuming that
some of them will adjourn without electing,
bids fair to leave vacancy are based upon
ignorance OF the law and precedents of the
Senate. Senators have been appointed by gov
errors and such appointees have been admitted
where legislatures have not elected. but only in
cases where the legislature had not the oppor-
tunity to elect.
In Arkansas the governor appointed sue
cessor to Senator Sewer, to take his seat as his
own successor March 4, 1887. but in that case
the legislature had adjourned before it had re-
ceived notice that Mr.. Sewer had drawn the
short term and of course had no opportunity to
elect.
In New Hampshire the governor has twice
appointed to succeed to an expired term, but in
both cases the legislature. which was elected
next preceding tho expiration of the term. had
not met, as by its constitution it meets in an
nual session in June. But in cases like the
present ''deadlocks' in our western states the
governor has never appointed Senator. or at
least no Senator appointed in such case has ever
been seated.
There are instances within the memory Of
many OF us where legislatures have been dead
locked and where vacancies have existed for
nearly two years without appointments.
The term of David X. Atchison of Missouri
expired March g. 1855 The legislature could
not agree on his successor. and not until new
legislature WAS elected Mr.. Green elected.
vacancy existed from March A. 1885, till jan
nary 10. 1851
The term Of John Petit of Indiana expired
at the same time. The legislature could not
agree on his successor. and successor was not
elected till January, 1857. The same legislature
elected Jesse ID. Bright his own successor
In both these instances the Germans were in
political unison with the United States Senate
and yet no appointments were made. anofit was
held that legislature failing to elect when it
had an opportunity prsct .caly gave the state
consent to the coHsutlt onal requirement in
regard to equal suffrage in the Senate"

THE CHARLESTON POST OFFICE.
Mr.. Anderson Saws the state Delegation Will

A dispatch from West Virginia stating that
candidates for the Charleston post Office had all
primaries for settlement has caused considerable
feeling among the West Virginia delegation in
Congress- Mr.. Anderson decided Immediately
after the death of Senator Kenna that he would
recommend Mrs. Kenna for appointment, and
this proposition is heartily supported by the
rest of the delegation. Mr.. Anderson said to
STAR reporter today:
''You ask me in respect to special to the
Post from Charleston, W. Va. stating that
primary election win be held at Charleston to-
day TO select a postmaster under the next ad
ministration in which IL is stated that The
candidates have agreed to submit their claims
to the people, &c. / have no information
upon this subject except what the special SAYS
in regard 70 the matter, and will say further
that Mrs. kenna has never been consulted on
the subject j have never heard that such
primary election would be held, and Mrs.
kenna was also ignorant of the fact that 1t was

that Mrs. kenua would return with her family

and that she might accept some position with

educating her children. As soon it was
proper for me 20 do so inquired whether she

She was not an aspirant for the position. 1t
was rendered to her and accepted bv her.

Presbvferian Ciergymen Protest Against
the Continuance of Theological Contro-

Presbvterian Clergymen Protest Against
the Continuance of Theological Contro-
versy.
A new phase in the theological discussion
which occupies the attention of some of the
ministers Of the Presbyterian Church is the
preparation Of an address signed by some 235
pastors who occupy prominent pulpits in
various parts of the country. The address is
an appeal made by active working pastors
against the continuance of Theological con-
troversy and strife over doctrines which are not
essential
1--WE are persuaded those who signed the
address say, that the great body of the church
iaymen and ministers, have little sympathy with
the extremes OF dognatic conflict and are al
ready weary OF the strife of tongues and are
longing for peace and united work We feel
tnat We do not speak for ourselves alone but
Tor the great multitude who hold the same con-
vlctlon IN regard to the first duty and main
work OF the church, while representing at the
same time many different shades of theological
opinion.
DESIRE FOR HARMONY.
1T is In this spirit that we join our voices in
plain, straightforward, fraternal expression
Of the desire for harmony and united devotion
to practical work. For This reason wedepre-
cate any and every attempt to impose new tests
OF orthodoxy or to restrict the liberty hitherto
enjoyed Dy those who sincerely subscribe to
the essential and necessary articles of the Pres
byterian Church. Especially would We deplore
any hasty add lion by informal resolution or
by judicial decision to the confessional state
ment Of the doctrine Of Holy Scripture We
hold firmly to the teaching Of the first chapter
OF The Confession Of Faith, and to the Holy
Scriptures rs the Word of God, the only in
fallible rule of faith and pra ice. We do not
express any individual opinion in regard to the
theory of the inerrancy of the original auto
graphs OF Scripture in matters which not
essential to religion, but. differing may in
regard to the abstract truth of that theory, we
protest unitedly and firmly against making
sent to it a test of Christian faith or of good
standing in the Presbyterian ministry"

Among the signers are the Rev. Teunis s.
Hamiin Rev. George o. Little and Rev. Samuel
v V. Holmes Of Washington. Thirty-two
