FIFTEENTH YEAR, P—— OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 17, 1886. —— NUMBER 266 A SUPPLEMENTARY MEASURE Gladstone’s Proponnds His Irish Land Bill in the House of Commons. WHAT THE SCHEME PROPOSES. Detalls of the Plan to Purchase the Land From the Landlords— Favorably Received by the Irish, The Irish Lana Bill April 16.—Gladstone propounded his Irish land bill to the house of commons this evening. There was hardly any excite- et attending the event compared with the enthusinsm which attended the proceedings of yesterday week, when the home rule meas- ure was proposed. At 4 o'clock the louse was crowded to its utmost, Gladstone rose in his place at 5:25 p. m., and was greeted with cheers. He said the alm of the present endeavors of the govern- ment was directed toward securing content- ment among the people of Treland and a per- manent restoration of social order. The speaker’s proposals would greatly beneiit the tenants of Ircland, but the landlords were the principal objects of the measure, although he thought many of these landlords were most hostile to nment’s polis At the outset the wished to make a most emphatic de- nial that it was his intention to ask the Scoteh and English to run any pecuniary risk on account ot the landlords of Ireland. The history of Treland was a long indictment against its land owners. England was not clear of responsibility, for the deeds of Irish landlords were English deeds, With the power in our hands we have looked on and done nothing, The land wet was intended to go into effect on the sanie day on which the home rule bill would become operative. It could not o on without the operation of the other, which would provide a legislature in Ireland to ap- point statutory autiority to deal w landed estates, and act between the vendor and the purehaser, Purchases would be m: through the issue of £150,000,000 at 3 per cent, the stock being issued at par. These new Irish consols might, with the consent of the treasury, be commuted for stock of a 1o denomination, If the stock could be issued forthwith, a seript of equal value would be issued for the same purpose, The act was to give landlords the option to sell out under its terms. Its aetions were confined to agricultural hold- ings, and do not include mansions, The state authorities, acting between veasant and Jund owner, would purehase the land from the latter and put the peasant in- possession as absolute “proprietor, subject to an inual rent - eharge until - the to yments equalled the purchase mor i state would not force small oceupiers become proprietors, In districts where population wa ested the st have the powes ide wether expropria- tion of 100 cro land should be compul- sory.

Adding to this the uperial contribution, the sum paid 1o Eng- land by Ireland, wounld be £6,:40,000 per an- nun, secured on the revenue amounting to 030, no portion of which would e ap- purpose until £6,000,000 w glish exchequer, 2 present contribution of Irish taxpa and was £6,5%,000, of which paid in civil seryice and in the service of collection, £4,810,000, The residue, which seemed to ' represent an Imperial contribution for the army, and navy national debt and fmperial civil changes, wis £2,055,000, What did England do with it?

Marlin” was his signature, which he soon changed to Metz, claiming that the latter was his real name. Heing a good musician he was engaged by T. J. Grover to take the leadership of the opera house orchestra. He was prosperous, and soon be- gan to have outside engagements, Henderson being the prineipal point. Recently he hived a hall for musical and social purposes, whieh he christened the Metz hall. ~ At the dedica- tion of this tempie he sought the services of one of the prominent ministers to do the honors of the occasion, but he met with a rebufl. Having “opened his temple of music he managed to persuade several newspapers to pufl up the enter- prise and aid him on the road to fortun still owes for the same, In the mean his wife lefton a visit to friends in J ville, Wis.

During the evening she was recognized by one of the Henderson bloods. He informed the proprictor of the hotel, whose wife was chatting with the woman, of the character of the “‘cousin.” Prof, Metz was called down into the lobby, and as he landed —on th ground floor the proprictor struck him betw the eyes, and knocked him about fifty feet, If an officer and other men had not in- terfered, he would have been killed. The professor fled and left his cousin behind, They both met on Water street, and in the rmin and mud they waiked to the depot, a sadly broken up pair.

Representative Dorsey, of Nebraska, to-day appeared before a sub-commutteo of the house committee on commeree, which has for some time been considering a bill to tax the manu- facture of imitation butter. Mr. Dorsey frankly stated that he was larzely interested in the manufacture of pure butter, being a third owner of a dairying association, but he was the Dbetter prepared, by reason of that interest, to represent the evil effects of the imitation butter now imposed upon the public for the genuine article. Ile made a very convineing argument, described the manufacture of oleomargarine, butterine, ete. The commit- tee has decided to reporta bill to tax oleo- margarine, and all iwitations of butter, 10 cents a pound, and Mr. Dorsey is confident of its passage. JUDGE BAVAGE'S 1 Colonel James W. S to be adirector of the Union Pacific railway to-day was no surprise here. Mr. Savage is a well known citizen of Omahaamong the poli- ticians here and in New York, and it is said the president recelved indorsements of him from the latter city as well as the former. Sceretary of War Endicott, who is an old personal friend, secured the reappointment, however, TOO POOR TO MARRY. A loeal nawspaper, speaking of the report that President Cleveland is engaged to be married, says to-day: “One of the lady vat- ronesses of a leading charity organization is said to have been told by Miss Cleveland that she (Miss Cleveland) expected that there would be a new mistress in the white house within a.year,and the lady says that Miss Cleveland spoke as though the coming change would not afford her any great amount of pleasure. The president is amused atthe way gossips are making a benedict of him, and does not mean to pay any atten- tion to the stories, He goes on working, and does not seem so particularly fond of ladies’ society. While Miss Cleveland had some friends visiting her recently the latter are said to have seen the president but twice in a two weeks’ stay. To a friend who asked him about the rumors of his appraaching ze, the president responded: ‘I can- ord to get married. 1 am a poor PPOINT age’s reappointment FOR THE PROTECTION OF SETTLERS, The senate, upon motion of Senator Van Wyck, has directed the committee on public lands to ascertain by what authority timber cut upon the public domain, by the consent and knowledge and under the rulings of the interior department, 1s seized by the agents of that department and ordered to be sold with- out judgment or exceution of court directing the same. This resolution is not directed at the Moutana Improyement company, which is charged with having shipped a large are of timber, and there is no complaint that the proceedings against it ave irregular. But it is intended to protect citizens and miners of the frontier, to whowm the timber on the lands is absolutely necessary. An act of congres passed in 1578 permits actual seltle to eut timber on mineral lands for actual use, Secretary Schurz construed the law to mean that timber coula be cut only for domestic purposes, and that every man must eutit for his own use, and that it could not besold. When Secretary Teller came into the interior department he modified that order so that timber could be cut by persons who did not require it for their own use and could be sold by them for domestic pur- poses and for use at mincs, But he prohibited its being eut for shipment out of the country. It has been claimed in the interior department that miners and settlers in the northwaest have excezded the authority given them by Secretary Teller, and are ex- Porting large quantities of timber, and Secre- tary Lawar has returned to the construction originally given the law by 8 cretary Schurz, which is said to ba working ry great hardships amonz the settlers on the frontier, BAM BANDALL'S SCHEME, Mr. Randall says he proposes to do what he can one of these days to dispose of the appre pristion bills in the house and that he will not be responsible tor a long session of con- gress, But for some reason, which no one hias been able so far to name, Mr, Rendall’s committee has done less in four months than it has been in the habit of doing in six weeks, The work of that committee is away behind, notwithstanding half of its labors were distributed to other committees, It is plain, thercfore, that the reason the committee on appropriations is 80 late with its bills is a e sire upon its part to have a hold on the proposed legislation of the house. For many years it has been the tactics of the chairmen of the committee on appropriations to hold back a suflicient num- ber of the thirteen to fifteen appropriation bills to control the work of the house. Ap- propriation bills are privileged, and can sue- cessfully antagonize the consideration of any other weasure, ‘The scheme has been to call up an appropriation bill whenever an eflort was made to secure consideration of & measure objectionable to the majority of the committee on appropriations, and thus jockey all measures with appropri- ations until they were worn out, It is that Mr, Randall is “lying low” with 1 propriations to defeat the tariff bill. So far no one has been able to get an impression from him regarding his proposed action on the tariff bill, 1 LATION FOR THE FARVERS, A member of the house committee on agri- culture said this afternoon that he did not be- lieve the bill establishing a distinet depart- ment or cabinet oflice out of the agriculture would be passed by this congress, notwith- standing the fact that it was proposed to at- tach a bureau of labor with it, and make the departinent one . ot griculture and strength toany measure and makes cowards out of members.

WASHINGTON, April 16.—To-day was the twenty-fourth anniversary of the emancipa- tion of the slaves in the District of Columbia, and the event was celebrated in a somewhat unusual manner. The colored people dis- agreed among themselyes as to how the cele- bration should be conducted, and as a resnlt divided into two factions. Each party made elaborate arrangements for a e and public meeting at night, and each endeayored to excel the display of the other. Party feeling ran high, and it feared that trouble would ensue in case the two pro- cessions should come together. Fortunately nothing of the kind oceurred, In view of the lack of harmony between the two parties, the president positively re- fusea to review either progession.
