THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: mere than all the ether papers published in Washington. Pek... New York Office: Room 03, Tribune Building, It is not believed in Washington that the Controversy between Major Raymond and Mr. Mudd, contestant fora seat in Congress, had anything to do with the former's relief from the engineer commissionership at this time. Mr. Mudd’s threat to retaliate for a flat refusal of his request or demand that a District em- Ploye should be replaced by one of his political followers was probably empty vaporing. If it ‘were believed that the change of Commission- era was in the slightest degree attributable to any such canse, the local feeling would be one of profound indignation. No sympathy would be necessary for Major Raymond, for he hax frequently expressed his willingness and even his desire to be relieved, but the District would Dave « right on its own account to be indig- nant that a commissionership should be made the foot-ball of spoils polities. If Mr. Mudd were a full-fledged Cougressman he would have no right to meddle in the administration of the local goverument to the extent of de- manding the dixmissal of an employe and tho employment of one of his edberents solely on political grounds, In replacing District employes against whom some charge of inefficiency or impropriety can fairly be brought the political complexion of the administration will naturally mfinence the character of the appointments to fill the vacancies, since competent men can be found in either party. Bat some regard should be paid to the non-partisan character of the District, and to the cousideration that the ma- nicipal government must for the District's wel- fare be preserved from offensive partisanship, If it were possible that the refusal of a threat- ening demand of the gift of a District office as political spoils should result in the dismissal of the refusing Commissioner instead of a sug- gestion of the impropriety of his conduct to the meddlesome place-hunter, then the pre- tence of a business-like and reasonably non- partisan conduct of District affairs would clearly be farcical, and the administration re- sponsible for the condition of things would be guilty of a breach of trast. ees Mr, Giadstone’s declaration in a letter that the coming session of Parliament will probably be one of pressing interest has set all the political tongues a-wagging. He is not addicted to empty speeches. One of the chief points in the opposition policy is the hostility to the new Iaad purchase scheme of the government, The Gladstonian Liberals will, so Mr. Morley in a recent speech foreshadowed, contend that three conditions must be complied with if this Measure passes the House of Commons 1. That the British state shall not be a direct creditor of the Irish tenant. 2 That the bene- fitsof the bill sha!l not be confined to the formers but shall be distributed equally among the tax payers of Ireland. 3. That it shall be part of a political settlement to which the Irish members shall be consenting parties. It is noticeable that the Liberals are divided in opinion on the new scheme for federal home rule, some of them agreeing that a subordinate Parliament is good for Ireland and even for Wales and Scotland, but not for England. This is the fifth session of the present Parliament, ——— - ‘The comprehensive mind of Rev. Dr. McCosh has grasped the details of a confederation of Protestant churches for parish aud other mis sionary work. The scheme does not contem- plate consolidation. Each church presorves its fall identity. According to the philosopher's plan the Episcopalian remains under his bishop, ‘the Methodist under his conference, the Pres- byterian under his presbytery, the Congrega- tionalist under his council, aud the Baptist under his convention. The prime purpose is to prevent the overlapping of church work and to insare a strong. united effort in districts where now little is done by any denomination. This vast echeme, which would in the past have been utopian, is now among the possibilities. Somewhat later it will probably be carried out. All the signs point to such a confederation for practical work of the clurches usually called evangelical. i ee, —_—n ‘The residence in various Central and South American countries that have no extradition treaties with the United States of prominent fagitives from justice from the United States has suggested to the All-American congress the propriety of formulating a stringent treaty which shall deliver all such offenders to our authorities for punishment. Such a document has been prepared by one of the commit- tees, and stands a good chance of adoption. No argument is necessary to re-enforce the facta and procure the ratification of a properly formed treaty of extradition with every civil ized power. a Half of the threadbare fiction known as the queen's speech at opening of parliament deals with Irish and African affairs. The queen tells her “Lords and Gentiemen” that the bloody Portuguese at her request have promised to withdraw from “the territory in question.” She vaguely outlines an Irish pol- icy which is to consist of two things—-“increas- ing under due financial pregaution the nam- ber of occupying owners” and “extending to Ireland the principles of loca! self-government 0 far as they are applicable to Ireland.” ne ‘The fact is developed that the democrats of Mary and—at lesst the great majority of the intelligent leaders—are in favor of ballot re- form, which is a poiuter for the legislature. ‘The Australian system ix gaining ground rap- idly im this country. and the solos at Annapo- ha should hasten to join the procession by enacting the reform bill. a Pretenders to great thrones used to shake ‘the earth where they landed.

The strongest Presbyterian city in the United States is evi- dently averse to change and the old theology is by so much stronger than it was s pposed to be. — + An Towa court has decided in a liquor sell- ing case that the possession of a government license by a party is prima facie evidence of iutent to violate the state Inw, and now a liquor seller in that state will have to take the chances and not pay taxes to anybody. oe American cattle dealers are endeavoring to secure privileges at Montreal which wili make that city the greatest live stock shipping point ia America, It is proposed. if proper arrange- ments can be made. to ship 100,000 head from there next year, aml if the business continues te imcrease a few years will suffice to sve com- mercial guion between Canada and the states, ‘Ten millions of -‘boodie” abstracted from the ‘United States are known to be in Ounada.
