ton OF all the principles of reform
whenever such a violation seems ex-
pedient, would wipe out Conkling
as a political leader in New York.
If Mr.. Hayes prefers this course to
the much talked of plan of keeping
the Republicans united until after
the Fall elections, We may look for
the early appointment of Fenton, or
some one in the interest of Fenton,
collector of the port of New York.
Senator Conkling has given to the
Administration an advantage which
its negative qualities would never
have enabled it to achieve.
Senator Blaine, unlike Senator
Conkling, writes out his own "inter-
views" for publication, and when
ever he has a speech to deliver out
side of Congress, prints it and sends
ships to the principal newspapers in
advance Of delivery. His newspa-
per training is valuable to him.
This morning we have" telegraphed"
from Chester portion of his tariff
speech at that place on Saturday.
If every wire in America had been
down that speech would have ap-
peared in the Geographic columns
of the papers. It was in type in
the Offices before word of it was
uttered by the Speaker.
The House having practically
decided not to adjourn at an early
day, the tariff bill of Mr.. Wood
will be thoroughly discussed. Mr..
Wood has control of the bill in the
House, and, as seen above, Senator
Blaine has made bid for the lead
ership of the opposition in the Sen
ate.
Testimony was closed on Satur-
day in the greatest of Am erican land
contests. before the Senate Commit
tee on Public Lands. The indefati-
igible freshman, McGarrahan, has
for 20 years sought possession of a
quicksilver mine of fabulous value,
and in about three weeks we may
expect a report, which will certainly
settle the case, from the able Com
mittee now having it in charge.
The testimony is voluminous, max
ing more than 1000 pages, and no
accurate idea of its merits can be
given until after it is reduced 10
