The "So-Ex" Rule.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The fact that
Mr.. Cleveland has been making excep.
tions to his ''no re-appointment" rule
has given much encouragement to those
cx-oificeholdcrs who are again candi.
dates for federal positions. 1t was in
the belief that the President did not
contemplate that strict adherence to
the rule with which common report
had credited him, that caused Repre-.
sentative Meredith, of Virginia, to prt.
sent to Mr. Cleveland this morning Il e
name of Col. Catlett Gibson, of Culper.
er, Va, for the position he held during
Mr.. Cleveland's first incnmbencv. OF
District Attorney for the eastern di:.
t:ict of Virginia. Mr.. Meredith was
not left long in doubt that he had in.
t.rpreted the ''no-ex" rule too hope.
fully, for Mr.. Cleveland quickly put
damper on Col. Gibson's aspirations
in these words: Il might as well be
frank with you. Mr.. Meredith. |
can't appoint your friend Mr.. Mere
dith states that the mock" rule is
still in force and the rule alone barred
Col. Gibson from securing his old posi-.
ton.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April >.


There was such an array Of vacant
chairs on both sides ofthe Senate cham
Der when Yesterdays journal was read
that The absence of a quorum was sug'
gestcd by Mr.. Hoar.
The roll was called and only IS Sena.
tors responded. After some little de.
lay, however, a quorum was obtained
IA Senators being present. and business
was proceeded with.
The report of the committee on privi-
leges and elections in favor of seating
the three Senators from Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, by appoint
ment of the Governors of those States,
was taken up and Mr.. Chandler, a
member of the committee, made an ar
gument in support of the resolution.
He opened his speech with reminis-
cences of John P. Hale, of New Hamp-
shire, the first anti-slavery Senator
QS45l quoting some verses of Whittier,
written in honor of that occasion, and
after reviewing the history of some
eubernatorial appointments of Senators
from that State, he said that he had
been under the incubus Of supposing
that the Governor had not the power
to appoint Senators in cases where the
legislature had failed to elect; but he
had now reached the conclusion that
the Governors had that right. The
question was one simply between q
technical and narrow construction of
the constitution and broad and liberal
construction Of it. The modern idea
was that, as the States were entitled to
the Senators they all should be in the
Senate, not only for the benefit of their
respective States, but for the benefit OF
the whole United States, and that when
ever there was not Senator elected by
the legislature there should be one ap-
pointed by the Governor. He admit
ted that the power of the legislature
was primary, while that of the Govern
or was secondary, but it did not follow
that the power of the Governor in the
matter was any less complete than that
of the legislature. He expressed his
surprise that the Senators from Oregon
and Illinois (NIitchell and Palmer
should have taken the position they did
take on this question after their argu-
ments last session to prove that if there
was any. one thing that was vicious in
the present constitution with the coun-
try it is the method of electing Senators
by State legislatures. They had then
been decrying the State legislatures.
now they were elevating them and
were advocating the Highland, as far
as possible, the exclusive right-of
State legislatures to elect United States
Senators. He could not follow them in
either of their projects.
Mr.. Palmer, another member of the
committee on privileges and elections,
argued against the majority report and
replied to some of Mr.. Chandeliers pro-
positions.

A DOUBLE WEDDING.-An interest
ing nuptial event was the marriage in
Washington last night of two sisters,
the daughters of Mrs. John H. Chi
chester, of Fairfax county, Va, al Cal
vary Parish Church. Miss Lucy Hun
ter Chichester was married to Mr..
Douglass Sorrel Mackall and Miss
Sally Dulauy Chichester welded Mr..

The couples had their own ushers brides
maids, best men and maids of honor. For the
min Minor and Henry Mackall and for the
other Messrs ]. NJ. Davidson and Luke Low
ing When the brides and their attendants
arrived at the church two of the ushcrs led
the way to the chancel. They were followed
by two bridesmaids, Miss Belle Stoddard and
Miss Carrie Machcn. The other two
ushers came next, followed by the
other two bridesmaids. Miss Mary Chi
hester and Miss Bessie De Butts. The
two maids of honor, Miss Eta Chichester
and Miss Laura Chew, walked in just before
the brides, who came in together. At the
chancel Rev. Mr. Aspinwall, the two grooms
and their best men, DR.. Louis Mackall and
Mr. /. K. Seymour, were awaiting. The
double ceremony did not seem to take much
longer than ordinarily, and after it the two
couples walked smilingly down the aisle fol-
lowed by their train OF attendants. A recep-
ton, to which only the more intimate friends
and the family circles were invited, was
given later at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
John C.. Davidson, the sister of the brides.
Both couples started on their wedding trips,
but took different directions. The brides re-
ceived number of presents, which were
shown to their friends.

II VIEW of the facts that the price OF

creased under the Harrison so-cailed
reciprocity treaties, by means of the tax
those treaties impose on such articles
imported from Colombia, Venezuela

discriminating tax permitted by them
upon the products of the first three

fight its way to the front, if only allow

OYSTER CASES DIsAIIssED.-The Cir
cult Court of Mathews county has adj
journed, and the famous oyster cases,
in which injunctions had been award
ed by Judge T.. r. B. Wright against
the commander of the Chesapeake, the
Oyster Inspector of Mathews county,
and others, restraining the same from
collecting the oyster-taX and to test the
constitutiouality of the law, was
abandoned by the plaintiffs and the
cause dismissed. This suit was insti-
tuted for the purpose of testing the con-
stitutionality of the oyster-law, the
plaintiffs claiming that the Legislature
had no right-frst, TO tax the ordinary
tongs; second, to tax the patent tongs !;
third, to authorize leases of oyster
grounds fourth, to authorize the coun-
ty Judges to pass final judgment on
the question of the locations held by
the lessee and of the natural oyster
rocks without the Intervention of a
Jury, A very great amount Of inter
est has been manifested in Matthews
and adjoining counties in these ques=
tions, which are of such vast interest
to the oystermen.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 5.-'lhe
British war ship Garnet arrived yes
tertlay from Honolulu. The officers
say that the English residents of the
islands, next TO being taken over by Eng
land, prefer being annexed BY the
United States, a more stable govern
ment meaning greater security in prop
erty interests. The natives, however,
prefer monarchical government. The
officers of the Garnet say the leaders OF
the revolutionary movement have little
to do with the financial interests Of
the islands, and are regarded as of the

John wise Makes a Speech

NEW YORK, April 5.-The unusual
spectacle of hundred and fifty stalwart
republicans rising from their seats and
wildly cheering the name Of Gen. Robt.
f. Lee, was an incident at the dinner
of the West Side Republican Club, held
at the Hotel Endicott last night, which
will not soon be forgotten by those who
were present. Capt. John 5. Wise, one
of the speakers, gave his reasons for
joining the republican party. John l..
n. Hunt, ex-president of the board of
education, presided. At his right hand
was seated the venerable Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford. On his left sat Capt.
John S. Wise, OF Virginia. Capt. Wise
arose, and during his speech had this
republican audience wildly cheering
for his old commander, General Rob-
ert E. Lee. He said that until the mat
ter was settled by the great struggle
between the opposing armies in the late
war the question of whether citizens
primary allegiance was due to the fed
eral government or his State was an
open one. 1t was never definitely set
tied to whom that allegiance was due
until it was decided by the god Of bat
ties. Capt. Wise paid high tribute to
the integrity and lofty principles OF
Gen. Lee, under whom he served, and
declared that no mau ever went into a
struggle with more honest convictions
of what he thought TO be his duty. The
speaker said he was called with u class
of 300 young boys to take his place in
the field. He went and fought for his
State, TO which he honestly believed
his allegiance was due. When the war
ended he accepted its issues and,
influenced by the words of Gen. Lee,
he became member of the party
whose principles had triumphed. Capt
Wise repeated Gen. Lees words in
which lie told his former comrades in
arms that whatever else they might
think, one thing was settled, and that
was that the first duty of an American
citizen was the allegiance he owed to
the old flag and the federal government.
At this moment those present broke
out into wild cheering. That speech,
Capt. Wise said, made him a recon-
structed citizen and republican. In
continuing, Capt. Wise made an appeal
to the republican party to avoid sec
tionalism and not to attempt limiting
the lines to territorial boundaries. The
sectionalism of the South drove him
into the republican party, in which he
proposed to remain during his life, and
he had five sons who were following in
his footsteps.

THE RAILROAD strikers at Toledo are
to appeal from the recent decisions
against them by the U. S. court of that
circuit to the U. s. Supreme Court.
But the decisions referred to must be
affirmed, for otherwise there would tie
a government within government
which would be a governmental ab-
surdity. Then. too, no man has any
right to incommode or interfere with the
business of the public because of some
real or imaginary injury he may have
received from somebody with whom
the public has nothing to do, and what
Is true of one man is true of an organl-
Zation Of men.

POSITIONS IN THE TREASURY DE-
PARTMENT.-Mr. Logan Carlisle, chief
clerk of the Treasury, has prepared a
statement showing the number of posi-
tons that should. be allotted to each
State if the places were properly di-
vided up among the States according
to population. There are over 4, 900 po-
sitions in the Treasury Department,
only 673 of which, however, are in the
unclassifed list. The others are all in
the classified service, and not to be Sc
cured by the applicant whose only back
ing is political influence. The 67S of
fees in the unelassifed service are real
ly the only positions that can be Sc.
cured, and Of these 35 are Presidential
appointments. So are division chiefs
aud the rest are positions paying less
than 5000 per annum. Virginia, ac-
cording to this list, is entitled to 100
plums-91 inside the civil service fence

A REPUBLICAN newspaper that APP
proved every thing eX-President Har-
rison said or did, referring to
the arrest and Imprisonment OF the
President of San Domingo by French
soldiers because he took money from a
French bank, says st is difficult to
conceive of a situation that would Justi-
fy the seizure of the legal President OF
the republic by foreign power.
But, under Mr.. Harrison, the legal
ruler of Hawaii was actually dispos-
sessed of her government by a foreign
power. The same paper also says
"The island of Hayti and San Domingo,
without its people and politics, would
be a valuable acquisition but with
them it would be far worse than the
white elephant drawn in the lottery"
And vet Mr.. Harrison wanted to put
the whole southern half of his own
country under the dominion ofthe race
to which the people of San Domingo
belong.
