In debate in the Senate Monday on bill
changing the bankrupt act an amendment was Of
fered repeating the bill uncondtionally. sena-
tor Edmunds stated that the Judiciary Committee,
of which he is chairman, has under consideration
a House bill repeating the bankrupt law, and
would il due time report on it. The repeating
amendment offered to the bill before the Senate
was then withdrawn.
The Springfield Union says that the opponents
of Mr.. Blaine's nomination rely upon the habit
which of late decades has grown upon American
politics, of passing over the leaders and taking
new men for Presidential nominees. The same
fate that defeated the Presidential aspirations OF
Clay and Webster and Seward will, they say, de-
strov Mr.. Blaines; he is too large a man, too
long and prominently in public life to be Presi-
dent. Some new man will come in, it is said, and
take the prize. Perhaps it may be so; nobody
can tell anything about the result yet, but, asks
the Union, is it not time that the American people
falsiied the saving that no first class man can be-
come President, and that only new men have a
chance for the nomination
The democrats in the House of Representatives
have been so preoccupied with hunting down the
administration that the appropriation required for
the transaction of public business has failed.
One of the first results Of this specimen Of reform
legislation, as experienced here, has been to de-
Drive the new post Office and other government
buildings of their supplies of fuel, light and water.
OF course this causes inca!culable inconvenience,
to say nothing of the interruption of the public
business 1t may be too much to expect Of the
majority in the first flush of unexpected success,
to carry on running fight with every executive
officer of the government, and attend to the nds-
pensable business of Congress at the same time.
But isn't it about time for the sensible democratic
members, especially the Massachusetts portion OF
them, to begin to see the absurdty of the position
in which the policy Of their leaders is placing
them ?-Boston Adgertiser.

In calling the convention for the election of

tives and hundreds of Chinese. had opened the
roads over the Nevsdas, and the train was on
time until ii reached the town of Wells, on the
Humboldt mountains. There they overlook the
trains which had left San Francisco for the four
DAYS previously. The road from Wells to Toano
(thrty.sx miles) was still bockaded, no trains
having passed over that section for four days.
The snow was any depth from four to fifteen feet.
As the wind was still blowing, to open the track
with shovels was as futile as emptyiDg the ocean
dry with spoon. Seventeen locomotives were
assembled at the western end of the blockade,
eight of which were put behind an immense snow
plough. The five passenger trains were massed
into three, and, arranged, charge was made on
the obstruction. As such power was hard to lie.
sst, in three hours the snow plough was pushed
through to Toano, and the caravan of trains
reached Ogden only three hours behind time.
But the successful trial demonstrates that trains
can be pushed through any blockade ever likely
to impede any road. The change coming down
the mountains was as great as that gong up
them. In the valley of Salt Lake farmers were
ploughiDg and the atmosphere was mild.

SHOWS were encountered again on the Wasatch
range, so deep that at some of the villages the
combs of the roofs of some OF the houses could
alone be seen. But there was no obstruction
yet the cars crowding along between snow banks
as high as the roofs was interesting to the passen-
gers.
On Saturday the 18th, the train encountered a
fearful snowstorm on the Rocky Mountains, at
sherman, lasting until midnight of Sunday
Sometimes there was danger of the train being
blown from the track. Taken altogether, Mr.. [.

sonably.
Looking at the lavish expenditures of
the democrats in useless investigations ex-
cept for party purposes, and then at their
putting out of the post office lights to save
expense, we get the measure of democratic
economy as practised at Washington.
They advertise widely for every scoundrel
who is willing to defame public official,
every man who has a spite against re-
publican officer, every spy or informer, to
come to Washington and pour out his
SANDER at the public expense; but for the
necessary business of the government, that
which concerns everybody, they have no
time and no disposition to appropriate a
dollar, because it is not in accordance with
democratic economy.

The election in Calais serves to let down
the spirits of the democrats from the pitch
attained in consequence of the Ellsworth
election. They think the prospect for the
fall election is not very promising for the
democratic ticket. Rockland, Camden,
Belfast and Calais, in Mr.. Hale's district,
have all made republican gains, showing
that the republican party in the district is
sound and strong, and that the democratic
gain in Ellsworth is exceptional and due
to local causes. Next September the re-
publicans in the Fifth district will carry
every county in it and pile up one of their
old.fashioned maiorities.

The democratic papers are silent about
the election at Calais. Last winter tina,
city was represented in the legislature by
a democrat. This spring republican
mayor is elected by about 200 majority,
and the city council is almost entirely re-
publican. We have copy of lying cir
cular which the democrats distributed at
their caucuses on Saturday night, to injure
Mr.. Downes. the republican candidate for
mayor, but the base trick failed to have
the effect intended Good for Calais.

DEMOCRATIC ECONONY.

The democratic House is giving the
public lesson in economy by neglectng
to make provision for Lighting and warm
ing government buildings, including post
offices and custom houses Mr. Randall,
chairman of the Committee on Appropri-
atoms on the part of the House, was in
formed three weeks ago that the appropri-
alton for lights and fuel for government
buildings was expended, and that an ap-
preparation must be made or the supply of
coal and gas be shut off at all the govern
ment offices. That notice Mr.. Randall
and the democratic managers treated with
contempt. What was it to them if the
post offices and custom houses were closed
for want of light and warmth And so
orders have been sent to put out the lights
and fires at all the principal offices, and
clerks and people are compelled to grope
about in the dark and cold to attend to the
mails unless lights and fuel are furnished
from private sources. The discomfort,
annoyance, and interruption of business
which have been caused by Mr. Randal's
democratic economy, are Swallowed forth
In the comments of the newspapers of the
larger cities. The mails all over the land
have been impeded by the disarrangement
which has ensued. The inconvenience
and suffering of the clerks are trhes in
f1ntessimally small when compared with
the trouble and detriment occasioned to
the great public.
This is what the democrats call econo-
my. This is the way they take to cut the
appropriations down. Holding the purse
strings they refuse to relax them for the
necessary common expenses Of the pos,
Offices. They pinch the postmaster slight
~ and the public great deal. These
