HAD RATHER BE
PRESIDENT. THAN RIGHT.

Senators Goiman and Hill are growing un-
easy over the Presidential boom of Adlai
Ewing Stevenson. They have planned each
Presidential thing for himself for several
years. and they are not pleased with the ap-
pearance of this new star in the West. Both
have been antagonistic to Mr.. Cleveland and
thrown stumbling blocks in his pathway, the
MARYLAND Senator all the while falicitatinS
himself that his New York friend was killing
himself while helping, politically, to slay the
President. Early in 1892 Mr.. German felt al
most sure he would be able to carry of the
prize, and now to see not only the Cleveland
men shouting for Stevenson, but to behold
that the South, where he felt sure Of great
strength, tends in the same direction is
poison to his soul. Senator Hill enjoys the
too apparent uneasipess of his Maryland
rival.
Senator Brice has been busy Of late casting
about to see il the time would not be propi-
tious for him in sc. The Ohio Senator thinks
the nominee will be ''some good western
man." He has held his breath quite adroitly
on both the silver and the tariff questions.
In his own state he is not confronted by such
hostile factions as threaten the peace of Hill
and German. His shrewdness in the distri-
button of patronage has strengthened him
wonderfully with his party at home. The
party organs of Ohio are filled with good
words for Calvin Stewart Brice. and even the
opposition papers admit his selection for the
offices have been exceptionally good. He
now has his finger on the southern pulse.
Some far-seeing politicians have suggested
that any statesman who wanted Presiden-
tial nomination in '96 had better keep an eye
on Senator Morgan. well-defined move
ment in his favor has already begun; it is
backed by some of the members OF Congress
His attitude on financial questions has made
him very popular throughout the South and
West. and already murmur that it is now
time to let by-gones be by-gones and unite
the West and the South is heard agoing. The
commercial interests now drawing the West
and South closer together are leading up to
political union as against the East south
ern Senator says:
For thirty years the state of New York
has dictated the candidate, while the South
has furnished the electoral votes. The party
has been frightened away from considering
the name of a southerner by the cry that the
North would not stand it. That cry has lost
its force The South and the West are prac-
tically one; our interests are so interviewer
with legislation that commercial interests
must necessarily become party interests the
same"
Some of the southern papers have already
hoisted the name of Morgan to the main-top.

women Of the District of Columbia are to-day
no better protected in their civil rights than
the women of England were two centuries
ago. In fact, the same common law prevails in
this District that was enforced in the mother
country century before Jefferson wrote the
Declaration OF Independence, and more than
a hundred and sixty years before Lincoln
parted asunder forever the chains that bound
the children of Ham in this country.

Washington, the beautiful seat of the capi-

greatest of nations. is to-day the abode Of

Blackstone, with grim stateliness, in one of
his lectures on the common law, tells US that

through his lectures as chattel property of

A noble wife may have amassed fortune
or brought to her husband the capital and en-
couragement that eliminated in great wealth;
but if the business is carried on in her hus-

estate in it-she is dependent largely on the
executor or administrator. Not unfrequently
the propertyfalls to the lot of distant relatives
who have no more equitable right to it than
has Benedict Arnold to place among the pa
triots of the revolution.
The women of this District should rise en-
masse and never lay down their arms, never
until they are recognized before the law as on
equal terms with the men. 1t is disgrace to
the lawmakers of this grand American re-
public that the facts are as l have briefly re-
corded them.

HENRY GEORGE AND THE POPE.
Rumors from Rome are Commented Upon
by Mr.. George and DR.. McGlynn.

Rumors from Rome are Commented Upon
by Mr.. George and DR.. McGlynn.
New YORK, March 25.-There was published
here to-day statement from Rome CORE
spondent that the holy office has condemned
the doctrines of Henry George, and that this
condemnation cannot but be followed by some
grave consequences.
In view of the fact that Henry George is ex-
pected to be a candidate for the mayoralty OF
this city, and that such pronouncement
would seriously affect his chances of success,
an Associated Press reporter made inquiries
as to the truth of the statement to-day.
Rev. James N. Connolly, secretary to Arch
bishop Corrigan, said: 'Henry Georges doc
trines were emphatically condemned by the
holy see two years ago. and there is no neces-
sity for any further condemnation of them
now
Mr.. John D. Crimmins did not believe that
the holy office had made any recent pro-
nouncement. "The pope" he said, issued
an encyclical two years ago, In which he con-
demned Henry Georges theory as to the es-
tate ownership of lands. That encyclical
deals with the question now as well as when
issued.'
Mr.. Crimmins handed the reporter COPY
Of the papal encyclical, which is dated May
Is. 1891. and emphatically approves of indi-
vidual ownership of land. 1t is entitled ION
the condition of labor" and discountenances
the establishment of trades unions or societies
not based on the principles and teachings Of
the Catholic church.
Mr.. Henry George said: 81 do not believe
there is any truth in the statement. don't
think the holy Office will or can condemn my
doctrines"
In answer to question as to whether the
papal encyclical was not condemnatory Of
his theories, Mr.. George said: 1.-The encycli-
cal does not deal with my doctrines at all,
and therefore cannot condemn it. My doc
trine is so palpably right that any such con-
demnation as that spoken of is utterly imros-
sible."
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn looked on the
statement as absurd. ''I am positive" added
he. ''that it is absolutely false. The inquisi-
ton has never condemned Georges doctrine,
nor will it do so. OF that you may rest as
sured."
1t is asserted that the condemnatory strict
ure on Henry Georges doctrine has been for
warded from Rome.

BUFFALO. Wyo., March 25.-Last weeks
blizzard, continuing seventy hours, has never
been approached in severity by any other
storm in this locality. Traffic is entirely sus-
pended and communication by wire with the
outside world has only just been restored.
Snow is drifted from ten to twenty feet deep in
every direction The mail coach took five days

The loss of stock is terrible. In one herd
near Buffalo containing stock which had been
fed all winter over 20 per cent. perished
The loss of range stock will likely be one

the country this spring.

REMOVALS OF LETTER CARRIERS.

BYTHE But few years ago, when
SECRETARY the question of government
ownership OF telegraphs was
considered in Congress. one
NATIONAL of the strongest arguments
Association advanced against the propo-
sition was based on the be-
lief that If carried into practice the army Of
civil servants would be so largely increased
that the very life of our institutions would be
threatened by the more than probable parti-
san use of the patronage by some of the
great political parties. The argument seemed
to have weight. 1t is advanced to-day, and is
IS good now as it ever was, and the only way
to destroy its force is to perfect the civil
service law; and by this I mean that where
necessary the law should be amended, its
application extended to the entire civil serv-
ice, and rigid enforcement exacted.
There is pending in this Congress a bill in
troduced by Judge Mcguire, Of California,
which aims to prevent the arbitrary removal
