Salaries—The Stand- ing Committees. At the opening session of the one hundred and third session of the Baltimore annual conference of the M. E. church at High street church, Balti- more, yesterday, as stated in a special dispatch to ‘Tue Stak, there was a prolonged and sharp dis- cussion on a motion by Rev. A. J. Gill to refer the report adopted at the last’ session on suppjement- ing preachers’ salaries to a special committee to be remodeled, 5 Rev. C. W. Baldwin said it by reference to & committee it was intended to remove some of the harsh features of the plan, he was in favor of reference. He was not, however, in favor of de- stroying the former's work, Rev. A. M. Courtenay thought that the time migint come ‘when the plan ghould ve modified or dropped. The vote last year he considered in the nature of a pledge. | T! Were defects in the seheme, but he thought the theory was correct. Ef the’ motives were to do away entirely with the paper, he was opposed to the vote, Rev. Mr. Gill said “that such was not the pur- Pose, Me thinghas not been tested. I cam see ow there is a Kind of moral coercion in the plan. Tam not in favor of placing one set of men to help another. “Tue men were mean who would not pay their assessment: “some brother wrote me Rev. Job. Price said an anonymous letter Saying some bitter things. If he ls present 1 hope he wil be blessed in the hear ing; but I will say that a man who is afraid to sign his name to such a letter does not. deserve, to bea member of this conference, [Applause] Rev. J. J. G. Webster offered as & substittite for the pending motion that the conference pledge 1t— self to sustain the plan, and that a committee de appointed to recommend any changes that may be deemed proper. Rev. r. Alex. E. Gibson said he hated and loathe. the plan, but would pay his assessment. Rev. W. 8. Edwards said that he was not_ mean, “I am willing to be compared,” he sald, “with any one on the floor as to meanness. (Laughter.] You know whatI mean.” Laughter.) ‘The tax 18 an arbitrary measure, beyond the power of the an- nual conference to adopt and command. It 1s con- trary to the New Testament plan, and works In- Justice and hardships upon men hardships none the ess than of those whom the plan it, is hoped will relieve. Ibelleve the plan can be modified so ay to accomplish the end,” Rev, John Lanahin said that it was stated at the last session that the plan was a voluntary on He intended to pay the money, but woutd fight the plan until the day of judgment, He was 0p} to clap-trap, | He was surprised at the remarks, as he thought the voluntary plan would work easily.

Yesterday afternoon District Commissioners Webb and Wheatley sent the following letter to Senator Plumb with reference to the debate in the House Wednesday regarding the District appro- priation bill, ‘Sm: It appears, from the speech of Mr. Hender- Son in the House yesterday, that his attention has not been called to the fact that the Commissioners are required, in order to get before the committee on appropriations of the House their detailed esti- mate for street improvements, to transmit @ schedule of such improvements to the Secretary of the Treasury, to be by that officer considered, ap roved Or disapproved as he may think the public werest; demands, and then transmitted to Con- frees, This course has always been pursued and Deen this year. Tt will thus ay pear that the committee had be. fore it during all of its deliberations a detailed Schedule of streets to be improved which could only be changed by its action, and which was en- Urely out of the control of the Commissioners. In fact, the committee of the House did change the schedule, substituting New Jersey avenue for New Hampshire avenue, which latter avenue was contained in the Commissioners’ schedule, and_1t appears that the Senate committee do ndt with the House committee in this change. ever, this may be, boun of these avenues as in- vended to be improved are within what 1s known as the northwestern section of the city, and in Whatever way they may be treated by ‘Congress the entire amount expended upon them will come out of the amount of the appropriation for streets apportioned to this northwest section. Xt will also be borne in mnind that in this matter of appropriation for streets the Commissioners have no ion; the money must he expended upon the streets specitied by Congress, and this has always been the case. In every year since the Present government came into existence appro} ations have been made for streets according to this schedule furnished by the Commissioners as it comes finally from the hands of the committee, the committee having power tomakesuch changes: asit may think best, Tt isa mistake to say tat in the apportionment of the appropriations asked for streets discrimination has been made in favor of one section and against the others, ‘The north ‘West section, which is designated as that in favor of which discrimination 1s made, embraces all that part of the city lying between North Capitol street and Rock creek and Boundary and B streets, and ‘the tables furnished in the annual report of the ‘Commissioners show the proportion of population, area and taxable value of the different sections, and that the proportion of the appropriation devoted to the northwest ern section, Judging trom this data, “1s much less than it is entitled to, What 1s Temarkable about this matter 1s that it ts pro- Posed, by those who make the charges that the northwest section has made more than Its propor- tion, to equatize matters by reducing the amounts appropriated for the sections discriminated against. ‘The Commissioners in the scnedule re- commended an appropriation for the northeast and southeast sections ting $108,312 while the House committee, by their proposed reduction, Practically make the amounts for these sections $13,000 less, claiming unjust discrimination in favor of the northwest. ‘The Commissioners would further state that the the total amount asked for ($400,000) 1s not twenty. per centof the total amount needed, and petitioned for, for street Improvements in the city.

Very respectfully, ——-___ ‘The Washington Monument. Ina recent volume of essays relating to art, by Col. L Edwards Clarke, of the Bureauof Education, published by W. H. Morrison under the title of “rhe Democracy of Art,” occurs the following graphic description of the Washington Monument. ‘The author has been referring to the public works of art undertaken by the earlier republics of Greece and Italy, and quotes the decree of the Signory of Florence, directing the erection of the bell tower to the [then] new Cathedral, and since known as the Campanile of Giotto. This quaint decree reads thus: “The Florentine Republic, soaring ever above the conception of the most competent Judges, desires that an edifice should be construct 380, magnificent In its height and beauty that it shall surpass everything of the kind produced in the Ume of their greatest power by the Greeks and Romans,” ‘The author then proceeds: In view of the recent completion (Februar, 1885) of the mighty shaft; erected to the memory of Washington, in the capital city of the United States, for which the greatest altitude of any structure on earth is claimed, and on which the capstone was not laid till nearly forty years after the laying of the corner-stone, we may surmise that thjs monument,—erected conjointly by individual citizens, and by’ the Congress of the United States, to the most eminent of the founders of the Great Republic, and purposely planned to o'ertop pyra- mids cathedral sptres,—was designed in a similar spirit of emulation with the works of the elder nations, as expressed by the decree of the ‘Signory, if not, in fact, inspired by some memory of that very decree, ‘This monument, by the magicof its completion marvelously transformed from the seemingly hope- less apis of its long unfinished state to a struc- ture of majestic beauty; the truncated, meaning- Jess pile, taking on at last, the harmonious lines of the obelisk; 1ts magnitude lost in the grace of its ands in its completed ‘perfection, ure, simple, sublime, First seen, far off a line of figne ag: the sky, it thrills and captivates the beholder, and, on a nearer view, effectually retutes, by its upspringing ligntness and majestic grandeur, the stereotyped sophistical objection of complaining critics, that, since an obelisk was a monolith of moderate height, the project of con- suructing a gigantic monument in the form of an Obelisk, was utterly inartistic and foredoomed to failure! Never had the sententious utterance of the Romans fuller justification; “fnts coronat opus.” As the statue of Washington, by Greenough, rep- resents the apotheosis of the hero; so this monu- ment to Washington is the apotheosts of. the obe- lisk; literally litting the monolith to the skies, ‘Although but few weeks have elapsed since the placing ‘of the cap-stone, and workmen are sul usy in completing the details, it ts evident that an absolutely new and striking’ feature has been added to the hitherto familiar landscape.

I foe ane ‘\ 4 ‘ SHARP DEBATE IN THE SENATE. Mr. Hoar Criticizes Speaker Carlisle. ‘HE CHARGES HIM WITH AN ASSUMPTION OF POWER REVOLUTIONARY IN CHARACTER—THE KENTUCKY SENATORS DEFEND THR SPEAKER. Inthe Senate yesterday Mr. Hoar called atten- tion to what seemed to him an evil which threat- ened to revolutionize the constitutional methods of the government. He spoke of thesystem in the House of holding back appropriation bills until within a few days of adjournment, and thus fore- ing the Senate to accept them or compel an extra session. He said that not only was Congress com- pelled to submit under penalty of an extra ses- Sion, but it throws out of the House consideration of all other important measures not controlled by the committee on appropriations. Bills matured by able men on the other side of the Chamber had been passed with substantiai unanimity by the Senate, and yet they could not get. consideration in the other House because three oF four members op em, a nine-tenths of the mem- bers favored’ them “In the ‘time of our fore- fathers such a condition of things would have caused a revolution, Who does not know that measure after measure which has, Tecelved substantially, unanimous | ap- In the Senate, and which would rece substantlally the unanimous wal of the House, are not permitted to be, taken up becatse e appropriation are used to keep them ou because three or four members disapprove them. ‘Mr. Hoar then referred to Mr. Carlisle as a gentle- man, “said to be Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives,” and caustically eriuicised Speaker Carlisle's letter to Mr. Randall, in which he refused. to recognize the latter to inove a measure for the Tevision of the tariff. He declared that atany time ‘Within the past twenty years such an assumption of power would have created a storm which Would have driven the usurper out of his seat, or would have created a revolution in the government itself, Under the constitution a majority of the Repre- sentatives have the right tomake laws, subject_to the veto of the Ex here fs a Claim advanced overthrowi tutlonal power of the Senate and Li grading every member of the House, whlch ought to be the most dignified legislative body on earth, Under the existing order of things legislation can- not be enacted if two or three members of either Dody refuse to give it thelr approbation.

Mr, Blackburn regretted that his colieague (Mr. Beck) had found it necessary to reply to the un- warranted, unfounded, and inexcusable trade of She Senator from Massachusetts, The rules of the Senate may have become moss-grown, but he did not think the rules of self respect and Common de- cency should be abrogated. ‘The speaker of the American Congress needed ‘no defense. ‘The idea Of the Senator from Massachusetts preaching homilies on non-partisan legislation Was more absurd than the devil prating about the scheme of universal redemption.

Where he was known Such an assault would not hurt him, and he did not believe that even in the state of Massachusetts a great deal of hari would be done. He denied ‘that the Speaker of the American Congress was a usurper; such ap assertion Was untrue. He denied ‘that the Speaker of tne American Congress refused. to submit a measure of tariff revision, He denied that Mr. Hoar had discussed Carlisie’s letter, but Was discussing, in violation of the rules of the Senate and of Common decency, the §} of another House. He hoped thatthe state which had furnished such meh as Dantel Webster and Rufus Choate would find an opportunity tc do a service to the American people by sending a son who would be at least the peer of the present Speaker of the House of Kepresentatives in fair dealing, high character and able patriotism Tne debate was continued at some length. NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS, ‘The Bill as Agreed Upon in Conference. The conferees on the naval appropriation bill came to an agreement last night. The bill as agreed upon differs not far from the original measure. ‘Two of thegunboats provided for in the ‘House bill have been omitted, as well as the tor- pedo boat, and the item for the purchase of Ericc- son’s Destroyer, inserted by the Senate, was also dropped. In its present shape the bill makes pro- vision for two cruisers larger than the Newark and faster than 19 knots, with a premium for any excess of and two gunboats of the pattern of gunboat “No.1.” ‘There are also two coast de- fense vessels, not to exceed $2,000,000 in cost, and forthe beginning of thelr construction $1,000,000 1s appropriated. ‘Their design, dimensions ‘and ed are to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Navy. For torpedoes $30,000 18 allowed, and the provision for the naval war college is excluded, "he other changes made in the House bill are un- important—not amounting in all to more than $100,000. “The Secretary ot the Navy 13 authorized UW readvertise for the Construction of cruiser No. 1 (the Newark) and the limit of cost 1s extended to $1,300,000, exclusive of armament.

Mgr. Stranicro’s Report to the Vatican om the Laber Question. According to a cable dispatch to the New York Herald Mgr. Strantero, the papal ablegate to the United States, who conferred the beretta upon Car- dinal Gibbons, has, ina report to the vatican on the present condition of the Catholic church in America, included a special statement on the Knights of Labor. In this statement Mgr.Strantero Tefers to the matter as difficult to deal with. Half of the million workingmen in the order, he say3, probably belong to the Catholic religion. ‘This society has but lately sprung up in Amer- ica, It has been received with favor by the whole working class, and has suddenly developed great strength, There are many, however, who for rea sons not yet sufficiently explained,were very much alarmed at the appearance of this society. They said that its objects were secret and its intentions bad, and therefore it should be condemned as a secret society. He refers to the condemnation of the order by Cardinal Taschereau, of Quebec, a8 a secret society. The American episcopate was gen- erally opposed to such measures, which, though possibly’ suitable to Canadian “Catholiés, mliht ve Unwise When applied to Americans should it Eetconsiderst necessary to extend those measures to the United States. ‘The American prelates re- ferred to tue different conditions in the United states, where citizens are accustomed to freedom and independence of ideas. ‘The’ statistics of the Knights of Labor are not secret to any one; they are printed and freely circulated. There is’ not, the Monseignor says, a single article in thelr stalutes that can be properly condemned from a Catholic Potnt of view, After referring to the action of the American Episcopate at Baltimore last October, be says: Mr. Powderly, the master workman, Who 18 a Catholic, will do tits best to prevent the'society from committing anything against the civil and ecclesiastical laws which might be condemned by the church or state. The social question, however, has a greater importance in America than else- Where, because there the capitalists are embar sed by over production, and as the profits to- day are less than they were formerly, the pay of the poor workingman is reduced, and so the work- ingmen strike. “And sioce it 18 very aimcult to restrain the passions of people who want. bread and Work, the result is that serious riots and events damaging to a weil ordered society fre quently occur, Everywhere in America are formed societies to help as much as possible the condition, sometines terribly hard, of these poor working: men; and these societies are tn full syuapathy with the workingman, and doing their best to improve bis condition. ‘The statement refers to the effort made to elect Henry George as mayor of New York, und speaks Of Mir.
