Doesn't Seem Possible.
The Tribune this morning says it is diff.
cult to realize that the premium on gold
has actually disappeared. 1t is now de.
clared to be probable that the premium
will be reversed, and that legal-tender
notes will be worth little more than gold.
On the whole, it must be admitted that the
Resumption Act failed miserably as hin.

Edwin Booth, the tragedian, has pub

the theater is permitted to be a mere sboE

moral 'jimcracks." Now as to the moral
tone Of the entertainments in the New York
theaters at this time, there is little to con.
denim. This week we have "Coriolanus'' at
the Grand Opera-house, Comedy of Errors
at the Park, "My Son" at Waliack's, "Mes-

cry, double Marriage" at the Lyceum,
almost Life' at the Standard, "Round
the World in Eighty Days" at Niblo's, and
"Evangeline' at Booths. Not one of those
pieces is immoral in itself, and, excepting
the incidental ballet at Niblo's and the
scant costume at Booths, there is nothing
in the representations to condemn on the
score of indecency.

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia conference of
the Democratic Committees of the Senate
and House was held yesterday, and the re-
port of the Congressional Campaign Com
mittee was presented and approved. The
object of the conference was to select the
four Senators to represent the Democratic
party on the Investigating Committee pro-
vided for by the Blaine resolution. The
names of several Democratic Senators to
serve on this Committee were suggested,
but the majority of those named declined
the honor. 1t was finally agreed to appoint
a committee of three Senators, giving them
the power to choose the minority of the
Blaine Committee. Senators White, Ran
som and Salisbury were appointed for that
purpose, and the conference adjourned.
PLACE FOR CHANDLER.
1t is reported that Representatives Hale
and Frye, of Maine, and Hubbell, of Michi-
gan, have been laboring to induce the Presi-
dent to tender to Senator Christiancy for
eign mission in order that place may be
made vacant in the Senate for Zack Chand-
les, Hales father-in-law. All that Senator
Christiancy San be induced to say on the
subject is that he has not been rendered a
foreign mission. This story was circulated
nearly year ago, and at that time Mr..
Christiancy declared that he would not be
used to further Chandler's Senatorial aspi-
rations

PITTsRURG, Dec. 19-An important meet.
ing of the Western Nail Association was
held here yesterday, all the mills being
represented. The object was to hear the
report of the Committee recently appointed
to consider the idea of forming pool to
control prices production and distribution.
The Committee recommended the establish.
ment of agencies at Pittsbnrg Wheeling,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis.
All sales to jobbers shall be made through
these these agencies and shall be for cash,
and no sales shall be less than in two hun
dred keg lots. This does away with all
drummers and solicitors but leaves the job
bers, the middle men, still an opportunity
to make their profits on the small sales OF
less than two hundred kegs. The plan also
provides for the establishment of board of
control who shall meet from time to time
as is deemed necessary, and fix prices, pro-
duction and distribution. This plan was
finally adopted at late hour last night.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-John 8. Young,
member-elect to fill the vacancy caused by
the deatAtof Judge Leonard, of the Fifth
Louisiahs District, was sworn in this morn
ing. This fills every vacancy, and the
house has again its full complement of two
hundred and ninety-three members.
Mr.. Cabell of Virginia, asked leave to Of
fer resolution, reciting that it was repre-
sented that Judge Alexander Rives, of the
District Court of the Western District of
Virginia, had transferred two men-B. Rey-
nolds and Lee Reynolds, convicted of muir
der, from the custody of the State Court, for
trial in the U. 8. District Court of
Virginia; and directing the Committee on
Judiciary to inquire into the action of said
Judge Rives, and under what law or author
ity said action was taken. and what action
should be taken by the House in the prem
ises.
Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Hale, of Maine, objected.
Mr. Cabell wanted to know who had OBJ
jected. He wanted it known who had
made this objection.
Mr. Townsend rose to question Of priv
ilege, and wanted to know whether gentle
men were to be menaced in discharge of
their official duties on this floor. Gentle
men had right to object, and he did not
like the manner of the gentleman from
Virginia.
The Speaker said the reporters and Clerk
had to know the names of the objectors, so
that they could go into the record. Mr..
Hale said he had objected and he did not
care who knew it. Mr.. White, OF
Pennsylvania, said he had also
objected and he was not at all terrified by
any menace from the gentleman from Vir-
ginia By this time number of gentle
men from both sides of the House had gath
cred in the area in front of the Speaker s
desk.
Mr.. Cabell advancing across the area
toward Mr.: White. said he had menaced
no one. When he made a demonstration
toward the gentleman from Pennsylvania
that gentleman would know it. [Slight
sensation.
Mr.. White wanted to know what the gen.
tleman meant by that.
Mr. Hale said they had heard that sort OF
talk before. He supposed, however, that
there were still some rights of objection left
on the Republican side of the House.
The Speaker said he was always particu-
lar to give the Republican side the largest
latitude of objection.
Mr. Townsend, of New York, objected to
the manner in which the gentleman from
Virginia had spoken.
Mr.. Acklen suggested that it would be
well to read the riot act. [Laughter.]
Mr.. Townsend said the gentleman should
have thought of doing that in Louisiana in
the last election.
The subject was then dropped.

GANG OF BARBARIANs.
LINCOLN, NEB., Dec Ex-Governor Gar
ber has offered reward of $1,000 for the
apprehension of the gang of villains who
burned Ketchum and Michael alive in Gus
ter County last week. Additional infor-
nation from Borden County stamps the
outrage as the worst ever known.

tending horizontally, with their feet barely

death. The people in the west part are
fearfully excited, and the country will be
secured for the apprehension of the gang.
