Henry George and Dr. McGlynn are at odds, and there ts likely to be trouble at the national ‘con- Yention of the united labor party in New York in April. McGlynn is fixed im his Judgment that the labor party should, in {ts convention, name a whoily independent candidate for the Presidency. George is as earnestly bent on fusion with the de- mocracy, taking the free-trade doctrine as _a basis for the amalgamation, Regarding his difference with George and the policy of tue party Dr. Mc- Glynn said yesterday: “We hold diametrically contrary views, 1am as sure a8 1 am of going to heaven that the labor party will go-to aestruc Af tt fools With elther of the old parties, We have ‘an issue, and ouly one. We have no business to attempt to throw the weight of the workingmen, as a body, for or against either free trade or pro: tection, That we should turn aside from ‘the straight path which George originally laid out for lus is preposterous. I shull advocate a separate in- | depentent candidate and campaign betore «ne convention, and { aia hopeful shat T shall carry the point, ‘Mr. George Will oppose me, no And likey enough he feels as confident as Ido carrying the convention.” George suid:, “Eee trade Isgolug to be the great issue, and the labor party can’t get along without taking it up. We should be tee trade to @ man, and if we are what {s the use of running a separate man for President if we have the chance to vole for a free-trader Who might be elected.” John W. McMackin, leutenant of George in te labor party and chairman of its general commit tee, said the threatened row in the labor party tion Will be averted by the nomination of Heary ¢ for the Presi ency and on a piat- form in which free-trade doctrine will not be avowed. That will remove, so he asserts, all the Giffereuce now existing between George and Mc- Glynn, Adherents of McGiyun, however, declare that If George takes a nomination he will be called upon to do 80 under a piedge of remoining In the fleid until election day. “They surmise t.at be Would accept the nowination, carry it part way through the canvass, and then withdraw in favor Of the democratic candidate, provided this nomi- ee stood on a clear free-trade platiorm. ‘Tuere is considerable talk among lesser leaders of the sabOF party of throwing George overboard altogether and nominating Mcwlynn for the Presi- dency. ‘That begins to look like the strongest probability, and itis pretty safe to predict that the fight 1a'the convention will be between George and MeGiyun for the nomination. to the Pope. ‘WEIS WELL PLEASED WITH THE CASH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THIS COUNTRY. ‘The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun in Rome has furnished a long description of the gifts to the Pope on the oceasion of his jubilee. He says the gifts are coming in so rapidly that tw. additional Wings have already been made to the bullding in Which they are to be exposed. So far 7,000 cases of articles have been handled, and the end Is not yet. Up to January 13 presents to the value of $10,000,000 have passed trough the hands of the Vatican inspectors. Even that sum has been SScepded im money, “the spanish Catholics of South America sending in coin $800,000. Ireland has also been likewise generous in that Archbishop Walsh, of Dubiin, brought from his diocese $20,000, and the bishop of Clonfert $4,000. ‘The United States has outstripped every other country tn cash donations, the archdiocese of New ‘York forwarding by itself $43,000. The exact sum of the whole moneyed gift cannot be ascertained, all the contributions not being yet in hand. This manner of testifying ta Pope Leo the fealty of the Catholics of the United States was strongly recom- mended by the American bdishops, and the pope 13 more pleased with it than that of any other country, since it furnishes him with ready means care dmong the workmen, Who are at a loss to ac- count for the action of the firm in drawing up such 4b upusual contract. a eee ‘The Baltimore Werchants’ Banquet.
