IN DEBT TO THE PARSONS.

President Cleveland gave vent to
very natural indignation the other
day, spurred by the false and ma
ignant charge of a minister that
he is a drunkard, and the minister
has since been trying to wriggle
out Of the predicament his too pre-
vious mouth got him into. But Mr..
Cleveland will find, when he bal
ances UP the help he has had from
ministers judicious and rash, friend
ly and rancorous, with the injury
they have done him, that there is
a large balance remaining to the
credit Of the gentlemen of the cloth.
There was that Brother Ball, who
sprung the Maria Halpin story, and
gave the president the opportunity
to put himself in favorable contrast
with his opponent by answering in
quiries as to how the story should be
met, with the reply: ''Tell the
truth" Then came that good and
sanctimonious Brother Ecob, who.
descanting on the virtues of Mr..
Cleveland's opponent, was remind
ed that the latter'S mother had been
a good Catholic, and complacently
assured his hearers that "there was
good Protestant day Of Judgment
coming that would purify, as with
fire, the touch of that Catholic

much he owes these clericals who
would have done him injury, but
gave him aid, is under heavy obi

DIR. Tiers laudable efforts-laud-

point-to increase the emoluments

able, if, possibly, unduly expensive
profession, have ended in nothing
but the expenditure of an immense
amount of his energy and a waste

reminder of an incident of his cam

from New York suggesting that
there was something more than mere
hypercriticism in the suggestion
made during the discussion that the
doctors be forbidden the use of any
language but the English in writing
their prescriptions.
There recently doctor was called
to prescribe for a sick baby, and
Waited Latin, with all the mysteri-

A BELATED HOWELL.

Howell's Atlanta Constitution
bowls at Senator Palmer for his OPP
position to Buck" Hinrichsen's
proposition to commit the Illinois
Democracy to free siXteen-to-one
coinage in an editorial under the
caption "a Senatorial Scamp" It
bases it's Screed on Hinrichsen'S
statement that the resolution of the
Illinois legislature in 1891, request
ing the senators and representatives
to vote for free coinage, was ap-
proved by Mr.. Palmer, then a can
didate before it for election to the
senate: In his present attitude the
Constitution discovers the turpitude
that makes the valiant old senator
scamp" @
So far the statement rests on the
unsupported statement of Buck
Hinrichsen; but suppose it to be
true, there is a higher authority
in party policies than state legis-
lature, and that is the national con-
vention Of the party. In June, 1892,
the Democratic national convention
i
Patterson, a Colorado delegate, to
insert the word ''free" before the
word coinage" in the currency
plank, thereby refusing to adopt
free coinage as the policy of the
party.
subsequently,, on July i, the SEN
ate bill for free coinage came up
for action. 1t provided for the I'M
restricted coinage of standard dol
lars, and the issue of certificates in
lieu of the coins. On Dolph's mo-
ton to recommit Palmer voted aye,
as he did on Vests motion to post
pone to December. On his own mo-
tion the certificate provisions were
stricken out. On Carey's substi-
tute, practically an enactment of the
Democratic plank, Palmer voted aye,
but against Perkins substitute
making the standard dollar of 600
grains weight. Finally on the bill
as thus amended, providing simply
for free and unlimited coinage, Pal
mer voted no. We are not aware
that there was any popular outburst
OF indignation among Illinois DEM
ocrats at this recreancy of the SEN
ator, nor did the subsequent legis-
lature denounce him, and even
''Buck" Hinrichsen has but now dis
covered the awful crime.

he was greeted with applause and
cheers and an impromptu verse. a
parody on some popular melody.
Meanwhile the. members were getting
tired of the long delay, and the scenes
familiar to the last night of the SEES
sion began to be enacted. The air
was full of flying paper missiles,
waste baskets and other debris, and in
the confusion some inspired idiot
turned off the light, leaving the house
for moment in complete darkness.
About dozen josh resolutions of more
or less humor and with more or less
visible point to them were sent up and
read in a funereal monotone by the
chief clerk and the house was kept in
reasonably good humor during the
operation of the call. Shortly after
midnight the sergeant-at-arms report
ed that there were still eight absentees,
but it being apparent that no more

the call were demanded on the previous
question.
The previous question was the mo-

NICARAGUA,s REPLY.
A. Suggestion That England Leave
e. Her Demands to Arbitration.

,1WASHINGTON, April 15.-It is au-
;thoritatiyely stated that Nicaragua
has made a reply to Great Britain'S
sultimatum. 1t is in the nature OF
counter proposal, and not direct ac-
ceptaHce or rejection of the British
demands, = and as such it is not yet
known whether Great Britain will ac-
cept it as responsive to the ultimatum
The ultimatum made three demands,
as follows:
First-A money indemnity of f15,50O
sterling for alleged personal injuries to
British subjects, including the British
CONSUL Hatch.
Second-Revocation of the declara-
ton Of Punishment against British SUBJ
jects.
Third-Formation of commission to
decide by arbitration the damage done
to property of the British subjects ex-
PEELED from Nicaragua. The ultimatum
contained no limit of time, but in a
subsequent note Earl Kimberly stated
the answer to the ultimatum would be
expected within seven weeks of Feb,
26. The seven weeks are up tomorrow
l. Nicaragua's answer is in two parts.
To the second demand it says that
Nicaragua even before receiving the
British communication had revoked
the decree of Punishment. To the first
and third demands the answer is that
In order to preserve the friendly rela-
lions with her majesty's government,
and for the purposes of arbitration,
Nicaragua proposes that all payments
for personal injury, injury to property,
etc, be referred to an impartial COM
mission of arbitration The foregoing
is. regarded as a most diplomatic an
swer, as it comedies Nicaragua's will
ingness to adjust the differences, and
yet courteously suggests that the f15,5O
demanded is an ex parte estimate, and
that the whole question of amount of
damages should be left to arbitration.
Great Britain's answer to the counter
proposition is awaited with interest,
but the Nicaraguan answer is so pa
cific in character that it is be-
lieved the subject has ceased to have
warlike aspect, and that diplomacy
will adjust the remaining details

MEXICAN BARS COME DOWN
Thes Quarantine Regulations
on Cattle From Greaser-
dom Rescinded.
N Bug BOON TO CONSUMER
The Move Will Relieve Any
Scarcity, if a Scarcity
J. Really Exists.

WASHINGTON, April Is. = In
view of the great rise in the price
of beef and the reported scarcity of
cattle, the chief of the bureau OF
animal industry, DR.. Salmon, has
recommended to the secretary of ag-
ricufture. the admission of Mexican
caetle into the United States under
strin gent regulation, calculated to
insure rigid inspection of all cat
tie admitted. DR.. Salmon believes
such a course may be safely pur-
sued with the exercise of due vigi-
lance, and that under the circum-
stances it is judicious. 1t is hoped
by this means to check the tendency
to excessive prices to the consumer
without injuriously affecting the in
terests Of the beef producer. In ac-
cordanee with these recommended
tions Secretary Morton today is
sued the following special order:
Special order concerning importa-
tion of cattle from Mexico: 1t is
hereby ordered that the regulations
of this department issued Feb. 5,
1899, Qcli1hlS lHe quarantine line on
account of Texas or splenetic fever,
and the regulation of Feb. IL, 1895
concerning the Importation of ami
mails into the United States, be mod
flied. so far as they relate to the
admission of Mexican cattle into the
United States as follows:
Mexican cattle which have been
inspected by an inspector of this de-
partment and found free from any in
fictitious or contagious disease, may be
admitted into that portion of the state
of California south and west of the
said quarantine line through the port
of, San Diego and into that portion of
the state of Texas south and east of
the said quarantine line through the
ports of Eagle Pass and Laredo for
grazing or for immediate slaughter.
Cattle may be admitted through the
port of Ell Paso for immediate slaugh-
ter only. In all cases where cattle are
admitted for immediate slaughter they
shall be shipped by rail or boat to the
point. of destination. On and after
May !, 1895, cattle will be admitted at
the port of Brownsville, Texas, for
grazing and immediate slaughter.

New LAWS Concerning Inventions
Go Into Effect.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Patent Of
flee rules Go, 1S4 and g. which were is
sued on Feb. Ia last, in consequence of
the decision of the courts in the Ber-
liner telephone patent cases, went into
effect today, although they will not
affect the practice of the office for six
months yet.
Heretofore an applicant for a pa
tent whose claim was rejected could
hold it in allegiance for two years be-
fore altering his specifications or ap-
pealing for new hearing, in the mean
while shutting out other patents.
BY making slight changes at the end
OF the two years, and repeating the
process at the end of two or more years,
applications could be kept pending for
years, thus prolonging the life of inven-
tons much beyond the contemplation
of the law. In the Berliner cases, the
patent was in the Office for about fif-
teen years, and was then granted to
run for seventeen years. The courts
declared this action Illegal The new
rules require applications and appeals
to be made within six months, and di-
rect the rejection of any claims that
have been pending for five years, unless
the applicant can show cause why the
case was not rapidly prosecuted.
