If Ireland will be satistied with nothing less than what Is demanded by the Land League, the only posstbla prospect be- fore that country Is martial Jaw and the sus- pension of liberty. And if, on the othor hand, Parliament will grant no more than the Tory party will allow, why, then, Parlia- ment must lay Its account to deal with con- tnuing agitation and ever-incrensing disturb- anev.

Wasiunxautoy, D, C., Dee, 18,—Repyesenta- tive Whitthorne, of ‘Tennessee, was the first of thy ex-Confederaty Brigadlers who pub- Hlely denounced any efforts to create trouble in conneetion with the Electoral count, and who had the manhood to say that he believed that Gen, Garfield was honestly elected, nnd that he should use every effort to see that he was peacefully Inaugurated. Speaking of the general polltical outlook of the next Adiministration tha other day, Mr, Whitthorne also said: * GARFIELD AND' JEFFERSON, "Garfield has the opportunity to do what {thas been possibly for no President since the days of Jefferson, He ean Jay down tho chart whieh will be the guido of the future, He owes nothing to the politicians, He ts capable of such a course, 1 always said on the stump during tho eampaign that he was the Inrgest-brained man that I knew In pub- He lite, Me ought to make himself free of allentangling alliances. I doubt whether he will do It?” “What do you consider will bo lis great. est trouble 2 QANFIFLD’S DANGERS. “His dificnity lies, In the fact that he Is full of tho milk of human kindness, He ts a minn of strong and gencrous linpulscs. He does not like to say no, and he hates to quar- rel, Ho is tke strong man that can be ruled by a women, He will surrendor rather than haven fight. Thatmay be the trouble with him. The politicians will bulldoza him. ‘Choy will organize very strongly ngalnst hin. ‘They will make endless ce- mands upon hin, ‘They will want to run their own States, The ‘bosses’ will want all the patronnge. We ‘shall see whether they get it or not But, as I havo said, Garfleld bas tho chance that Jefferson had. I doubt whether he will, however, avail himself of his op- portunity.” “Do you thint thore fs n disposition on the partof the Democrats to make any trouble In connection with the Electoral count?” “Thera may: be a few narrow-gauge men who hayesome such notion, but thoy wilt not have the control of things. Gen, Garfield was honestly elected, in my opinion, and he will be ptaceably Innugurated,—he certainly will be Inaugurated.” ONE DIFFICULTY Fo THR NEW ADMINISTRA> TION. A Congressinan who has had a great deal todo with business before the Interior De- ‘partinent sald to mo the other day: “One of the frst and prentest troubles of the Garfield Administration will be the condition of pub- {le business in the Departments, notably in the Intorlor Depattment. Everything is very much ‘in arrears, and public service his been neglected, and, while this has been In the Interest of ceonomy, It is nono the less truc that business has been neglected. ‘There have been too many attempts in all the Depurtinents at economy, in order to meat the howly of the Democratic Congress. Estimates have been ent down really below pressing necessities of public business, nnd the Government is suf- ‘orlng for it. ‘This is particularly true in the Department which hag ‘especially come under my observation,—the Interior Depart ment,—and notably ns. rezards the Pension OMee, the Land Olliee, ang the In- dian Serviee, ‘The congttion of business before the Ponsjott.
