WASHINGTON, March 90. 1885.
President Cleveland and the other
members Oi the administration are en-
tirely satisfied with the present state
OF the various diplomatic complica
tons. The new ministry OF Spain has
sent a communication explaining the
delay in replying to Secretary Gresh-
ans demand in the Alliance case, and
it is probable that the demanded
apology will speedily follow; there has
been decided let down in the attitude
cf the British government as to its
dealings with Nicaragua and Venezuela
since President Cleveland instructed
ambassador Bayarl to inform the
British foreign office that if it Violated
the Monroe doctrine in its dealings
with those countries the United States
would forcibly interfere, and all OF the
other complications are being pushed
to satisfactory settlement.
According to the latest advices from
Germany, President Cleveland's de-
termination not to appoint delegates
to the expected monetary conference.
because OF the difference between the
avowed purposes for which it WAS pro-
posed to hold the conference and those
of a conference which the Wolcott
amendment to the Suniry Civil ap-
preparation bill authorized the United
States to take part in, was unnecessary.
1t seems that the government OF Ger
many has been engaged in a little
game of buncombe, for the purpose OF
placating the bimetallists over there
who have been making themselves
troublesome, and that it has no real
intention of inviting the powers to at
tend q monetary conference.
II there were the same number oil
changes in the diplomatic corps every
week that has been announced during
the week just ended it would only take
few weeks to change the whole corps.
One ambassador and four ministers
represent the weeks changes, not to
mention the small fry.
At the last cabinet meeting local
photographer succeeded in getting a
splendid group picture of President
Cleveland and his entire Cabinet, which
will make fitting companion picture
for that OF President Clevelands first
cabinet, taken just previous to the
retirement of Secretary Manning from
the cabinet, Just az this one was taken
Just before the retirement of Post.
master General Bissell Mr.. Bissell
will retire on Saturday and on Monday
Hon. w. l.. Wilson will assume the
duties of Postmaster General.
Ex-Gov. Campbell, OF Ohio, who is
the idol of the Democrats of his own
State and almost as popular in all the
other states, is in Washington. He
says he is devoting HIS time exclusive
" to the practice OF law just now, but
inasmuch as Senator Brice and other
prominent Democrats have been con-
ferring with him it is safe to assume
that a little of his time is being given
to discussion Of plans likely to bring
about future Democratic success, which
he is so anxious for.
Attorney General Olney's speech
against the granting of a habea.
corpus by the U. S. Supreme Court in
the case Of Debs, the leader of the
Chicago railroad strike, has been very
highly complimented. In the follow
ing quotation therefrom the whole
case is stated in a nutshell: by
legislation, Congress has made steam
railroads interstate commerce carrier,
for governmental and private purposes
In July, 1894, interstate railroad trans
portation was being interfered with in
the State Of Illinois and the city o
Chicago. The interference was on al
immense scale and was accompanied
with the burning of cars, with thu
derailment of trains, with assaults
upon passengers and employees by
which many were killed and man,
more wound, with bowling and excit
ed mobs in full occupation of entir'
districts and terrorizing entire com
munities. 1t was an interference TO
which, with all its consequences ant
incidents, the present petitioners (Deh
and his accociates) are to the fulles
extent responsible, unless it be tru'
that men can wantonly touch thu
match to powder and yet be blameles
because not rightly realizing the ensu
ing devastation; unless it be true tina
men can make vehement appeals TO
something to be done and yet pleat
not guilty when their tools and dupe
resort to the only means by which tina
something can be done; unless it b
true that those who seek to execute
plot by the only means possible, in tn
open, and taking the legal consequent
ces upon their heads, are to be brand
ed as criminals, while those who sit il
an Office and hatch the plot and urg
on its contamination are to go un
whipped of justice because of loud
mouthed professions OF virtue in gener
al and respect for law and order il
