a PERPLEXlNG QUESTION.

Attorney General McKenna has mott
fled Secretary Guge that he cannot pass
upon the question Of the status of deputy
collectors AMI deputy marshals for the
reason that he is asked to decide u hypo.
thetical question.
Secretary Gage some time ago referred
to the Attorney General the question
raised by Collector Brady, Of Virginia,
who appointed number OF deputy col.
lectors without consulting the civil SER
vice list. The Secretary of the Treasury
has been unable to decide the matter,
and asked the Attorney General to give
an opinion whether the terms of deputy
collectors expire with the term of the
collector, as held by Collector Brady; If
the terms so expired, whether the success
sors should be appointed from civil ser
vice list or by the collector himself.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd first
took the matter in hand and wrote an
opinion to the effect that deputy collect
ors are not within the provisions of the
civil service law. This opinion was sub
united to. the Attorney General for his

THE AUTONOMY PROMISED.

Senior Jose Canalejas, editor of FL Her
aldo, of Madrid. and minister of Justice
under former liberal Spanish ministry,
is in Washington, where in an interview
yesterday he described as follows the au-
tonomy which the Cubans are to have
under The Sagasta ministry:
GAS the autonomy. which Spain now
offers to Cuba, it is autonomy of the gen
une character, and it is rendered in the
sinceresJ good iaith, believing that it
affords the surest guaranty of restoring
peace to Cuba and giving prosperity 10
the island. In all internal affairs, the
autonomy now offered will give the Gu.
ban people entire freedom in shaping their
own affairs. With such policy in view,
and with General Blanco to put it into
execution, there is every assurance that
Spain will do all in her power to restore
peace and prosperity in Cuba. Moreover,
we look with confidence on the success
of that policy. I'VE are naturally desir-
oIs that our friends in the United States
should recognize the complete change of
policy which has occurred, and should
cooperate with H. in having it bring the
beneficial results we look for"
All OF this reads very well land would
he GOOD thing for the Cubans if they
did not have the promise of something
better in the shape OF. a free republic or
annexation to the United States. Be
sides, while liberal ministry andp Gen.
eral Blanco would carry out such pol
icy in good faith, there is no telling what
changes for the worst might be made I'M
der conservative ministry and with
man like Weyler for captain general of
Cuba.

approval or rejection. Instead of doing
either the Attorney General. declines to
pass upon the question on the ground
mentioned
The Treasury Department has now
turned the question over to Mr.. O'Con-
nell, the solicitor OF the Treasury. When
h is opinion is obtained Secretary Gage
will give the matter further considera-
ton and will issue instructions to collec
tors throughout the country as TO what
steps to take in these appointments.
The matter is of the greatest import
ance and will be carefully considered Ivy
Solicitor .O'Connell. Collector Brady is
confident that lis action will be ulti-
mately upheld by the Treasury officials,
and that collectors will have the light to
appoint their own deputies without con-
sulting the civil service law.
Whatever the decision of the Treasury
Department, the case will probably 90
into the courts and will be fought out.
The civil service commission presented
arguments to the Attorney General
against the position of Collector Brady,
and declaring that to put the deputies
outside the protection of the law would
be a severe blow as the law itself.

DANGER IN POSTAGE STAMPS.

One of the newest diseases is the
postage stamp tongue" The credit of
discovering it is due ito London physi-
clan. 1t appears that the mucilage itself
is injurious, and that, further, it is an
excellent cultivating medium for germs
of the worst character. In the ailment
called postage stamp tongue" the..latter
becomes sore and covered with red spots
a bad sore throat is likely to follow if
great care is not taken. Apart from the
specific disease of the tongue any conta-
gious disease may be acc uired through
the medium of .mucilage. Never lick a
postage stamp with your tongue 1t
shows great lack of cleanliness and

BARR IN HIGH FAVOR.

The Rev. William Alexander Barr, the
new rector OF Monumental Church,
preached his initial sermons to large con-
gregations last Sunday Al the morning
service seats were at a premium. The
discourse, which was one of the ablest
ever heard in Richm ond. was on "Fairh. -
and was master handling OF that great
subject He.traced the faith of the great
men of all ages and showed how the
things which they so often looked for
ward to have been withheld from them,
but also from succeeding general ions.
At the conclusion of the sermon Mr. Barr
tonchingly referred to his predecessors in
the pulpit, and paid them all beautiful
tributes. When he referred to the late
Mr.. Stickney many eyes were wet. Mr..
Barr said that he hoped to wear the man
tie that had been handed down to him to
the success of Christ's Kingdom. TIC say
that the congregation was much pleased
with the new rector but family expresses
their feeling. Mr.. Barr's reputation
preceded him, but his presence demon
strated that the half of the man had not
been told.

AS free American citizen ex. Minister
Hannis Taylor non~doubt has right to
tell all he knows about Spanish affairs:
but, as man lately employed in the dip
lomatic service OF the United States, it
seems in rather bad taste for him so soon
after his resignation to disclose to the
world important matters of which he
gained cognizance because of his init
mate association with Spanish officials
and the trust they reposed in him as
minister to their'country. His revelations
will certainly not tend to raise American
diplomacy in the eyes of other nations,
whatever immunities American citizen
ship may give him from the consequences
of his indiscretions
