[Special Telegram ] When the house committee on appropriations is appointed, the first thing that will be brought to its attention will be the necessity for an urgent deficiency bill to prevont the closing of a number of United States courts, Nearly all of these courts, owing to the exhaustion of money appropri- ated for jurors’ and witness’ fees for the last fiscal year, wore compelled to close three months before the new appropriation became available, which was on the 1st of last July, This threw a great deal of cumulated business onto the present fiseal year and has made, together with ordinary business, .such ansuroad into the present appropriation that it is pretty well exhausted.

Lord Salisbury Sald to Have Check- mated Persico's Scheme By Re- newing Diplomatic Relations With the Vatican. Parker and Gladstone, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpoy, Dec. 13.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—The extraor- dinary letter from Dr. Parker, published by the Horald has, for the moment, thrown more important matters into the shade. Gladstone sometimes has made himself rather cheap, especially of late, but it is not generally known that his friends had the privilege of farming him out whenever they were short of funds,* Perhaps he would pre- ferto have some choice in regard to the time und place of exhbition, the settlement of terms ‘and the distribution of profits, Parker undertakes to manage all this part of the business, but wheu ho returns he will find the sage of Hawarden ‘quite ready to be hawked round for sale like a quack pill. Parker has got himself into @ pretty mess As he has preached in America, it is un- necessary to suy what style of a man he is. He goes in for salvation at any price. I passed his tabernacle on Temple street and saw au immense crowd sround tho doors. I asked a Parkerite what was the matter. He said & woman was going to preach. “And Parker toot" Iasked. The Parkerite groaned and dechined to answer. This stimulating diet is served regularly at the temple on Holborn viaduct, But what awill the faithful say now that their high priest has been rejecged ! Brooklyn had his lectures laughed ab und now he has tried to sell the grand old man. Dr. Parker used to pray a geeat deal for Gladstone’s health and long life. We now begin to fear that these good wishes were prompted by regard for No.1. A statesman who can be hired out for interviews, like a perambulating juror, may be made almost as good as an annuity to a smart manager and poor Gladstone thought Parker loved him for his own sake. However old o man may be, he always has something new to learn beside human nature, When Gladstono set up lately in the timber trade all moneys were remitted straight to Hawarden. Souvenirs frem the felled trees are still on sale at 6d and up- wards. The business is strictly in the hands of afirm. No interloper is allowed to touch it. Young Herbert takes the moncy and sends off the goods With the usual circular, “hoping to merit your continued support.” Herbert will call upon Parker as soon as the latter arrives. He will want to have the mnew hiring out game properly explained to him. Great in- dignation is expressed in the Gladstonian circlg. Healways has been careless about the people he t p with, A friend of the great man has just been explaining tome that anybody who figttered him could persuade him into anything, but ho will notbe per- suaded to pour out six columns of talk on America to fill a paper’s pockets. He may, at times, be duped, but he knows how to resent an affront. Parkers only chance is to explain his letter away on true Gladstonian principles. Failing that it may require more than one Wogian's, preach- ing to draw a erowd back to the temple. The Parkerites are all agitated. So is a much more important body of extreme Protestants of every denomination. The Duke of Norfolk has gone to Rome as a special envoy from the queen and a thousand conjectures as to his errand fill the air. Some of the papers try to make the queen is merely sending a triv sago in reply to the pope’s jubilec gift. But assuredly there is something more than that in the truth, I believe it to be that the goy- crument inténds to resume the firmer diplo- matic relations with the vatican r guriless of the popular prejudice which still exists on the subject. It will be remembered that Gladstone sent an envoy to the pope, though it was denied that Ire had any official authority. Afterwards it came out that he held diplomatic intercourse with the papacy and that his expenses were paid like those of any minister. Salisbury, no doubt, intends to counteract the singular mission to Ireland of Monsignor Persico,who has naturally fallen much un@er theinfluence of the home rule party. If the pope egn be brought to issue a pronunciamento to favor home rule, a large party of the Irish clergy would be catly pleased as well as strengthened. It is hoped that M. Persico’ will sucged in call- ing forth some such document. The government wish to bring influences to bear upon the other side, therefore a proposi- tion will be made for the dispatch of a papal envoy to St. Jumes, while the Duke of Nor- folk,may for a time consent to remain En- glish mipister at the Vatican. This would be very satisfactory to the pope, who has long and earnestly desired the restoration of a formal ofticial relationship with the British government. Repeated overtures had been made towards that end, but till now mome have been well received, When, however, it was seen that Monsignor Persico had been sent ofticially to Ireland, und that he was returning with the obvious intention of procuring the papal benediction on the home rule movewment, it was thought to be high time to make an an- swering move, isbury in this affair has once more shown great sublety and insight. He silently watched all that had gove on, and just as his adversary appeared to have won, the game he touched one piece and cried “Checkmate.” There can be little doubt that the présent arrangement will be successful. ‘The Duke of Norfolk will be eminently welcome at the vatican. He rvepresents an ancient family which made great sacrifices for the church and suffered much on its account, including entire exelu- sion from political life for many generatious. The present duke's domestic affctions have drawn him the sympathy of the whole nation. This coup must be regarded as one of Salisbury’s - mas- terpieces, und though Exeter hall may once more raise its bray, 1 belicve the peoplo gen- erally will approve what is gheing done and that the vatican will again be represented at the ¥ sh court, and that Mousignor Per- le intrigue with the ultra home crumble to pieces.

NEBRASKA DAIRYMEN MEET. First Session of the Annual Con- vention of the State. A WELCOME TO THE DELEGATES. J. Dixon Avery Tells Aba ebraska's Progress in Butter Making—-Prese ident Whitmoré's Address— Other Interesting Papers. Dairymen's First Meeting. The third annual convention of the Ne- braska Dmirymen's association opened in Germania hall last night at § o’clock with an attendance of about thirty dairymen und dealers in dairy products from abroad and in The exercises were opencd by an overture by Prof. Rohr's band. This was followed by a welcome address by ex-Gov- ernor Suunders, He said that he did not kuow why he had been called upon to a dress the gathering, nevertheless he was pleased to say a few words to them, Theirs was an_ hongrable business and, indeed, to him it was the most honorable that could be followpd. When a boy he was rdised on a farm und had his share in the milking of the cows. He would say to them that they were welcome here. We could not do without them. Their business was not only honorable; it was also absolutely nee- essary for life. It began as v as the history of man. Two of the articles made use of in the feast at Abraham's tent when the messénger of the Lord called to an- nounce to the patriarch that his sced should last forever, were milk and buttor, because the scriptures said that Abraham placed be fore them milk and butter and gave them of the calf to eat. Butter was good for the king and lord and laborer. ‘Neatness be- longed to their business. A hearty man could perhups eat a rough meal with Jurd before: ‘him, but place on his table o plate of butter which had but the least speck of uncleanlmess, and it would pall upon his taste more than the conrsest dish that could be served to him. The gov- ernor concluded with anothar hearty welcome 10 the homes and firesides of Omal The Temple quartette, consisting of Mesars, Riggs, Whe H. Burkley and W. Down- ing, sang, in an exccllent mauner, “To Arms.” Mayor Broateh then weleomed the convention, and incidently referred to the great improvements which Omaha has made in the past few years. Rohi's orchestra then played another medle J. Dixon Avery, of reply to the address b delayed b smont, who was to dayor Broatch, wi the lateness of the Norfhern Pa- «cific train. He, however, made a few rvemarks of a practical nature, which were appreciated by the audience, The association he said was not a mutual ad- miration society. At its meetings, he was satisficd, would be given expression to the best thotghts on dairying by the best people in the business, and before the close of the session he expected to listen to dairymen from Iowa, Dakota and Wisconsin as the best manner of handling milk. Neb stands second to no state in the countr; corn raising state. At Sioux City a Nebraska countyghad been declared the queen of the corn produced and displayed therg. Where torn could be produced dairying could be successful. If corn was king then was the cow queen. Better corn ‘could be produced in thg west than in the cast. It had been once said that butter could not be produced west of the Ohio, but it had since been demonstrated that good butter could be made here during certain months of the year. In Nebraska there were daries whose butter commanded just as good price as that in the cast. Elgin had had an experience of thirty years, while Nebraska had had only six years. ars ago there = ; it wo state. To-day between. 1 seventy-five existed, Some of theso doing excellently, others fully well Town was second to but one state in tho e in the product of her dairies, and that was New York., ‘Twenty years ago lowa was as Nebraska is today. Nebraska had all the favorable conditions, and in the next decade should be equal to her neighbor acgoss the river. It should pay attention to ll|o~u'mlllu~ tion of cheese. Yearly it imported between 80,000 and 36,000 boxes of that article. It paid out between 300,000 and $400,000 for cheese. All that aimount should be saved to the farmer. He closed his remarks by im- pressing upon his hearers that it was better % have to consume the grass of the prairie than to pay this enormous sum anuually to New York, Wis i The Temple quartette then sang another picce with admirable tffect, Hon. W, G. Whitmore, of Valley, president of the associati rred to the fact that when the siation was born two years ago the country was being ruined by one of the most gigantic frauas ever perpetrated om a longsuffering people. Organiz tion was the dairyman's tionds and was. the power which resulted in the enactment of the national Jaw which relegated *bull” butter to its own sphere and compelled its sale on its own mor- its. That was all that dai en ever asked, However, they had already been admonished from Washington that pressure would be brought to bear upon the present congress to repeal the present oleomavgarine law or de- stroy its force. Would they suffer that to be repealed?! While deploring the necessity, he suggested that in view of more recent devel- opments in the world of trade it would be necessiry to organize a national butter trust. Nebraska, however, with her advantages of climate, easy means of cultivation,: rapid and cheap communication with the east and west could defy ¢ ctition in dairy pro- ducts. But they were now confronted by tho fact that they could not raise grain against the competition of Bomb: h its bound- less and fertile plains, and millions of labo ers, which the Suez cangl has bronght within three weeks of London, more cheaply and quickly than our products could be shipped to the same place. The means of escaping from competitition was to rise above it by producing something superior, Tho market was never stocked with the very best. The best results in dairying were obtained mixing the ingredionts with brains. was the hot bed of ism, the home' of cremmeries, tho paradise of rich farmers: poor when growing wheat and corn to sell; rich when following modern scientific methods of dairying. The dairymen of gin had a board of ¢ Tt was organ- ized in 1572, The business of the first yoar amounted to 1,000, In 'S3 the business amounted to 2,752,231, and over §1,000,000 in the first eleven years of its existence. These sules we of butter and cheese alone, Nebraska boasted of & fow of the finest creameries in the country, Four of these in year had produced 1 000 pounds t This was au increase over last year of 40 per cent. t they did not supply home demand. Dealers had informed that in half of the year, half the butter and nearly all the cheese handled by them came from Wisconsin and Illinoi What a com- mentary on Nebraska enterprise phn M, Thurston then spoke, contrasting the condition of the New England farmer, the old style of butter-making with the pos sibilities of the farmer of Nebraska and the means within his reach e ug o and swmending the objects of the association, which he understood to be to avail itself of all scientifiic ndvancement in the art of util izing the products of the dairy, ing that bl of farming had been thing it in milk, butter or chees meat, thus doing away with the pessibility of auy com- bination of men to interpose the dificuity of transpogtation, and closing with the lop that the time would come when none but the Dbest blooded cows, the heaviest pork-pro ducing hogs and the best blouded horscs would be upon the Nebraska farm. Jule Lumbard of Chicugo, who hus sung at all the conventions of this association, taen sang “America,” the audience standing and repeating under Mr. Lumbard's leadership, the last hatf of each stanza. Though suffer ing from a cold, Mr. Lumbard's effort was adimirably mad 2 Prof. li. H. Wing, of Lincoln, secretary’ of the association, then made # request for members stgting that the dues were $1 per year and life membership fees were 85, This was the only means of raising money to print the proceedings, which was absolutely ueces- sary for the advancement of the members. Allan Rost of Omaha, made a few remarks claiming that the railroads had milked the farmers dry and after the flower o2 the life of the lafter had been pussed they were left poor and with their farms mortgaged. He asked the business men of Omiha and the state i, only salvi- help them in maintaining honest butter as aginst oleomargerine. He favored organi- zation among the dairymen if it would have the effect of protecting them iun their inter- osts. L. 8. Coftin, of Fort M was his glory to be a farm, been ofe his life long. At the of their live stock breeders in Towa, it was shown that there was only one man in that state who was licensed to sell oleomargarine, and he resided in Council Bluffs. But he Qid not sell his stuff there. He sent it over to Omaha and it was sold here, “But it wasn't made here,” Colonel Chase. Mr. Coffin contrasted the condition of New gngland farms with their rocky soils, in which his fingers had often bled while pick ing the rocks., One saw large houses and commodious barns, as if the peopls were prosperous. But, you could throw a stone from one house to another, so small were the farms. Now, if people could thrive there under those cireumstances what could they not do out here with their boundless acres. He often felt if he could bring his uncles— all his father's brothers were uncles—out here blindfolded and take off the bandage on his farm, ho was certain they would think they were i Edon. Mr, Coftin will en- large upon this idea and several others of w practical nuture on next Thursday.

DIVISION A PLUCKY CHIEF, Congressman Mills Expresses Doubte About Tarift Legislation Being Agcomplished This Session —Capital News. A Civil Service Scrap. WasiNeron, Dec. 138.—[Special Telogram to the Ber]-Civil Service Commissionor Oberly has got himself in trouble again. 1t ems that the elvil service commissioner is very desirous for the promotion of a certain female clerk, although an interview with him was published in which he said that ail lady clorks should be dismissed from the ser because they are unfit to hold positions, Thae particular female clerk in question passed u limited examination and finally a general ex- amimation to get into the department service, She has done so and twice the commissioner, it is sald, tried to get her promoted and failed. He made the third attempt the other day in the treasury and from this attept has avisen all the fuss and has caused the present ommotion which is now agitating the treas. ury department. The commissioner—and hd is one of the two democratic commissioners— went to the chief of tho division where ha wanted the clerk promoted and demandod " to know in rather strong language why tho promotion he had asked for had not been made. The chief looked at him in surpriso and the commissioner continued and inti- mated that he wanted the promotion made at once. “Phis fired the blood of the chicf and he re- torted: I want you to understand, sir, that 1 run my own division and do not want the {nterforence of a civil service commissioner. This angered the smooth-faced commis- sioner and the blood rushed to his checks and in an excited manner demanded in a voico loud enough to bo heard by many clerks in the room and even in the corridors that tho promotion be made. The scene and the ex- cited manner of the civil service comuissioner caused a sensation The chief only replied: “Do youknow, Mr. Commissioner, that you are breaking your own law. Go back to your office and read rezulation No. 10, §will conduct the busi- ness of my own division. Good day.” “The commissioner left in a fu Civil ser Neither the commissio iner or other persons s shall attempt 1 coutiol or way oF in any wmanner als or promotions. “The other civil service reform commission- ors are much exereised _over the conduct of their eolleague, and us the factof the scene he made iu the 't as been brought to their attention, developments are watched with interest.
