THE DEAD LOCK IN CONGRESS.
Democratic senators who are no Better than
their Republican Associates.

WARRINGTON. June 20. - Democratic
membeu Of the House charge that the Demo-
cratic members Of the Senate are no better than
the Republican members Of the House, with
this advantage on the side OF the Democratic
Senators, that they are covers for their Repub-
lioan associates, In the committees OF confer
ence appointed to dispose Of the Appropriation
bills, the party seems hopelessly divided on this
important issue, and when the surrender Is
made TO the Republicans 1t will be glory enough
for that party to say that the Democratic mem
bers Of the Senate repudlated the action Of their
own partisans in the House, and this will end the
honor which the peoples direct representatives
have been striving to attain this session by cut
ting down the extravaRant expenditures OF the
Administratton party. 1t Is proposed, to avoid
this embarrassment, that the Joint resolution
suggested by tho President should be pissed,
renewing ali existing appropriation bills until
the 10Th Of December next, with the under
standing that II the Republican ticket 10 elected
the Senate bills shall pass, and " the Democratic
nominees are elected the House bills shall be
concurred In by the Senate. The proposition is
novel one yet the prominent Democrats OF
the House prefer this plan to a deadlock and no
hope OF escape therefrom. All salaries are TO
be PAID as now provided. to be read justed next
December IL the bills appropriating the lesser
amounts should become law.

JERSEY CITY,s DEADLOCK.
A Supreme Court Decision that Gives epub-
Iican Aldermen n Majority.

The Jersey City Board Of Aldermen
elected last spring stood six Republicans to six
Democrats. When the Republican canvassers
met to count the votes they found that Henry
J. Powell, the Democratic Alderman elect, in
the Fourth District, was credited with num-
Der Of ballots given to Harry ]. Powell. BY de-
Quoting these, majority could easily be count
ed for Frank G. Fry, the Republican candidate.
The votes given to Harry J. Powell were thrown
out and Mr. Fry was counted in. This gave the
Republicans n majority and they were jubllant.
Mr.. Powell went to the courts and In the mean
time legally restrained the City Clerk from
swearing Mr.. Fry in.
Yesterday the Supreme Court set aside the
Injunction. which virtually gives Mr.. Fry his
seat. The board will stand Eve Democrats to
seven Republicans, and will probably oust the
Democratic Superint tendent OF the Poor, the
City Marshal, Poundkeepers, Weighmasters, and
minor officials.
