A SPECK OK WAR.
The bill which passed the Sena'r
a few d ivs since giving the Pre-i
--dent power by proclamation to im
poge certain retaliatory measiir s
on Canadian fishermen and shipping
in American ports has aroused tin
Canadians to the highest pitch ol
’ excitement and caused them to say
• Borne very haish things about then
yankee cou-ins Rut their cousins
mean business all the same and. no
matter what may be the dam >ge to
the business of the t .vo countries,
thev mean th it Ainericm fisher
men shall n »t be om t iged hj Can i
da by any unjust discriminations
against them by the Canadian g.iv
arntnent, without having a dose of
the s irue medicine given to Cana
dians in American ports. The bill
is now before the House Commit
tee on Foreign Relations and will
ceitainly become a law, and
what it- more the law will
be enforced It is not improbable
that the two countries may become
engaged in mc ual warfoe a a not
very di taut day. The fishery busi
ness will commence in the summer,
then look out for squ dis.
POLITICS AND CHURCH.
Mich ie! Dxvitt the great Irish
agitator, addreese-1 a monster mass
meeting in Ne\j York on Monday
evening last. He devoted a large'
part of hi- speec t > the troubles of!
Ea'her McGlynn, th- <l‘po ed pas
tor <4 >t. Siephen'B Catholic church
of \'-w York, whi was suspended a
week ago, for being over zealous in
the support of Henrv George, the
late “labor candid de*’ for Mayor of
fa it city, and for making the decla
fa’iou that “(here should be Uo such
thing as iudividu d ownership in
land,” in opposition to the known
views and directions us the church
! authorities at Rome. Mr. P-v it
I made a vigorous cefcnce of Dr.
Ms Glynn’s po-ition and was biit-r
'and merciless in Ins denuiciatiori
of Cardinal Simeoni, who is the
Pope’Secretary, charging him with
being the tool of England and act
ing in concert with that country to
persecute the Irish people and ob
obstiuct their cause. Every time
the Cardinal’s name was m-nfit ned
by the speaker it w s receivtd with
iiis.se> and groans by tha great
gathering. He advised in his
>pe ch that Dr. McGlynn should go
to Rome and present Ids case and
hie theories to t e Pope in per.-on.
Dr. McGlynn has th- entire
membership of St. Stephen’s church
at his back and about $’0.(l0l> have
been raffed for liis support h y eri
thusiaS'ic admirers. Father Don
nelly who lias been assigned to the
chuich in place of Dr McGlynn, lias
met with the gieatest ii dignities by
by the congregation which refits

H O.HEN NO T TO VOTE.
On Tm*> I -v last tin- (l-iiied S nti s

.gaii si ilm pioposed amendment •>
Im cuDStltiii inn all owing woianti U
vote, feuaior B own, opp-n-ed t.m
proposition ami said that as a mem
ber of the select committee on wo
rn m stiff a-ie he li d signed (with
Senator Cockrell) a minority r< port
io which 'hey had -ought to e.-tab
lish lie f’lci that the p oposed
legislation would be injudicious and
unwise. He should not hesitate to
rei erite tn-d-y a portion of whit
he find then Said. He believed that
'he Ur tor intended that the
Sillier ol in des and females of the
titin a-r i e should be different, and
that heir diuiea and obligations,
wnile thex differed materially were
w io equ dly important and equally
honorable
It was doubtful, he said, whether
llie man or the Woman had now the
in-st infln nee in government d
iffairs. An intelligent, i oble, cul
tivated Wi man was a power behind
th throne. All h r influence was
in favor of morali'y and good gov
ernment. She n-w exercised an
mperceptible influence in public
-flairs mneli ereater than she couM
if female suffrage were enacted It
might be a gratifica'ion to a small
minority ol women, but it woul I be
i cruelty to n large m -joi ily ol lln in
T'he most ign< rmt and less re
fine'* portions ol the fem de popula
turn (to sav nothing us tlm l a-ei
classes) won d flock to the polls,
while ihe refined, inteligent and
virtuous women would stay ai
home. Thus there would be a vast
preponderance of ignorance and
vice at the polls. Thing- are bad
enough now in that connection.
Was the Senate ready io expo.-e
women to -uoh demoralization and
the country to such a s rain in order
merely to gratify a small minority
at the expense of mortification to a
large majority. He regarded the
movement as an attempt to reverse
the very I -ws of being. Neither
ihe plnsical nor moral laws ol
nature could be reversed, but this
was a movement to attempt to re
vere those laws. His opinion was
tha a very large majority of the
of the American people (and even
ot the lemale sex) oppose this move
meat, and they Were wise in doing
so. He therefore protested agaii.st
tile passage of the resolution.
AGAIN REJECTED.
The United States .'-enate in s -
cret session has r<-j cied the nomin
of Mr. James C. Matthews to be
Recorder of Deeds in Wa-hingion
city it will be remembered tha
Mr. Matthews was rejected by the
Senate la-t winter an i s-on after
the adjournim nt of Co: gross Bresi
dent Cleveland appointed and
comm s ione-1 him as Rec >rder It

Ma'thews i- in •v r w a y qn.-ldi d

nation of the position ha been a
great improvement on Lis piedeces
I >or, Mr Fred Douglas One of 'he
I grounds of opposition to Mr.
M a'thews was that he is a citizen of
New York, but that is not a v ■ i 1
excuse in the light of precedents. I
has also I c-aii stated that he would
! be rejected because he is a coloied
D. m-icrat, which, if tme, ought to
be known by the country. We
don’t know if the sia f ement has
been made by any one in a position
to know, but the idea of such a
cause bei g possible to be given
for rejecting a nominee *o an im
portant ( slice in this free republic,
is abhoirelit to the genius ai d tra
ditions of our government, (adored
Democrats aie entitled to the same
cons’deraiion by the Repub ic-m
Senate as ate white Democrats, and
anv other rule that givorsof p'o
sciiption on account ol color must
c dl forth the condemnation ol every
intelligent colon d man in the
■ ovntrv.
h is u-eless however, to specu
late on the reag ms of Mr. Mat
thews’ rej etion uhen it i- impos-i
