catia Bt E cians FULLER'S CONFIRMA- TION. DELAYING The Republicans Hope Thereby to Se- eure[the Cluef Justiceship. Washington, May 8.—It looks as if the republican senators intend to “hang up” the nomination of Mr. Fuller as chief justice until after the election with the hope that a repub- lican president may have an oppor- tunity to appoint a man in his place. This is said to be considered “good politics” by Mr. Edmunds. Mr. Evarts and other members of the judiciary eommittee, although a number of republican senators think it a pretty small business and the two republicans from Dlinois are urging the immediate confirmation of Mr. Fuller as a worthy man. The nomination came to the sen- ate a week ago to-day. The com- mittee on judiciary, over which Mr. Edmunds presides and to which the nomination of Mr. Fuller was refer- ed, usually meets on Monday or up- on the call of a majority of its mem- bers. It was known to be the wish of the President and the justices of the supreme court and of all others concerned with business before that body that the new chief justice should be sworn in and take his seat before the adjournment of the spring term next Monday. Jumping on Sam Jones. Sam Jones and Sam Small, the eternal improvement company, shook St. Louis dust from their feet last eve Both preached in different churches yesterday morning and in the afternoon held forth at the tem- perarice tent on Lucas place. Small’s engagement terminated with the af ternoon talk and he left on the early evening train for Atlanta, ing ing. and tele illness, Ga, by gram announcing his wife's followed suit. Sam Jones, called home au Mrs. Jones was par- alyzed on one side some years ago and is a source of constant anxiety | to her husband when he is absent, | as he cannot tell at what time she is liable to pass away. The way these evangelists pack themselves off on trains on Sundays just like or- dinary traveling have no regard for men not commend them to the Christian® people. From all appearances the Sams didn’t leave a bit too soon for the good of the local option campaign. The men have deteriorated in the past two years. They go over the same old ground. Small has taken Jones’ slangy, uncouth style and Jones has not improved any. Yes- terday afternoon, in front of the speakers’ stand, sat Rev. H. W. Wil- liams, D. D., editor Baptist. Dr. Williams is a south- erner, but Jones disgusted him. He listened respectfully until Sam said “I want to tell these high-license preachers that they won't be in hell five minutes before the devil will | saddle and bridle ‘em and lope ‘em through hell to shove ‘em off.” Then Dr. Williams turned away his ~ head and showed his disgust at such talk. A Post-Dispatch reporter, who was present and noticed this evidence of abhorrence, saw Dr. Williams to- day. The reverend editor spoke very plainly. “Ihave gone to hear Sam Jones the last time,” ‘said he. “When he made that remark about | ‘loping through hell, it was all I could do to keep from taking my hat and leaving in mortification and disgust. is going to be run that way, out of it.

I telly solemnly that I denounce all such things and when a man talks that way, nodecent man nor women should listen to him. Now, you understand, this is the opinion of a prohibitionis and a Christian. Another preacher said to-day: “Bob Ingersoll has never heaped upon the Christian greligion, upon the sacred $calling of the ministry such vulgarity, as has Sam Jones. Ingersoll is never valgar. Sam is always vulgar.

To the Kansas City Times: Topeka, Kan., May 7.—In reading youy paper of yesterday I discovered that some of Blaine’s friends in speaking of their chieftain’s chances for a nomination and election count- ed a good deal on Senator Conkling’s death as highly beneficial to the as- pirations of the plumed knight. True Mr. Conkling is dead, and while Blaine and his supporters may de rive comfort and encouragement from the fact, there are thousands yet living who will reserve a green spot in their memory held sacred to the name of Roscoe Conkling.

It is all changed, now. The na- tive born New England factory girls are gone from Lowell. Cheap work- ing girls of foreign birth have been imported to take their places—and that, too, by the very protected mill owners who pretend that working men and workingwomen get the bene- fits of a high tariff. The tariff on such goods as are made at Lowell was only one-half as high from 1843 to 1860 as it is now; yet the high tariff of the present day has driven Yankee girls out of the factories and given their tasks to cheap working- women imported from abroad. The Lowell Offering is gone; the read- ing-rooms are gone; the winter lec- tures are gone; the whole New Eng- land aspect and personnel of the mills have vanished; and the appear- ance has become alien, repulsive. dress, as strange and Anda similar change place in all the factory dist Massachusetts.

Instantly the cham- ber became silent as death, and all eyes were turned in the direction of the two standing senators. Every one expected to see Wade demolish- ed in a moment by the great Illinois senator. “You, sir,” continued Douglas in measured tones, “continually com- pliment southern men who support this bill (Nebraska), but bitterly de- nounce northern men who support it. Why is it? You say it isa mor- al wrong; you say it is a crime. If that be so, is it not as mucha crime for a southern man to support it as for a northern man to do so?” Mr. Wade: “No, sir. { say not.” Mr. Douglas: “The senator says not. Then he entertains a different code of morals from myself and—” Mr. Wade: (interrupting Douglas and pointing to him with scorn | marked on every lineament of his face) “Your code of morals!

With regard | to France the chancellor said a disturbance of the peace through any Boulanger adventure was out of the question. On this point he spoke with such emphasis that Mr. Schurz gathered that Prince Bis- marck desired that his views which were so much at variance with those of the press, should be made known.
