THE National House of Representa-
fives had another display of bad man.
ners, Friday, making two for the same
week. 1t was onIgthe other day that
one honorable gentleman intimated
that q second honorable gentleman
was ,..p1p, and the party of the sec
ond part metioned something about
"smacking your chops if you ever
speak to me again" On Friday the
lie was exchanged, fists were shaken
and the House extempoiized specta-
Gle on the Donuybrook Fair model. All
of which is eminently calculated to in.
crease the respect of the people for the
present Democratic Congress.

"PIG IRON" KELLEY, although
wrong headed on the currency ques-
tion when he comes to q discussion of
the tariff, he is sound and sensible and
.wields weapons of satire and agreement
that are terror to free traders. In
attacking Fernando Woods bill the
other day he compared the measure to
"a mule, which has no pride of ancestry
and no hope, of posterity. Woods
committee he likened to the Hindoos,
who, when intoxicated by arrack, some
times arm themselves with a knife
and3''run q muck" stabbing at every
person they meet, without feeling
malice against anybody in particular.
rhe com mmittee, Judge Kelley said
inspired by the writings of British free
trade dreamers, had determined to run
a muck among American manufac-
lures.

THE Democrats developed their fraud
programme on Monday. 1t is to set
on foot a one.sided Investigation 10

all inquiry into the CrOnin rascality In
Oregon, the bulldozing in Mississippi,
and the shotgun campaign in South
Carolina, Mr.. Potter, who had charge
of the Judiciary Committees resOlu'
tion, would not even allow an amend
ment to be read, and tried to force the
resolution through under the gHg Of the
previous question. The Republicans.
led by Garfield and Hale, resorted to
the parliamentary expedient Of refus'
ing to vote, and thus leaving the House
without a quorum. Finding their
game blocked, the Democrats voted
an adjournment. The fight was re-
sumed on Tuesday, and ended as on
the previous day. All the Republicans
ask is that the investigation be fair and
thorough and be not confined to
matters selected by the Democrats for
the purpose of rejecting on the Presi'

THE outlook in Europe is much more
pacific than il WS5 a week ago, and
there is now strong probability that
diplomacy will triumph after all, and
that the people of England and Rus
sia will be relieved from the tension
under which they have so long labor
ed. The Powers have agreed upon a
new basis of arrangements to be sub
mitted to the Gar, and the departure
of Count Schouvaloff from Lond0n for
st. Petersburg and the statement made
by Sir Stafford Northcote, the cOnser-
valve leader in the House of Com
mems, for the p0stpOnement of a re-
quest to set apart day for discussing
the foreign policy of the country, wo'd
lead 10 the belief that there will not be,
Immediately at least, an outbreak of
hostilities. The illness of Prince Gorts'
chakoff may also be looked upon as
having assisted to bring about this
change in events. His preiudices were
well known, and it may be considered
certain that had he still been eXerci
sing the functions OF Prime Minister,
there would have been less prospect of
the present negotiations endil G in an
amicable settlement. The new ar
rangements differ materially from the
provisions contained in the treaty of
San Stefano, aud if they are accepted
will place Turkey in better condition
than she would have found herself in
under the latter. The administration
of Russia will be confined to that part
of Bulgaria north of the Balkans, while
Roumelia will still remain, to GER
tain extent at least, under the author
ity OF the Porte. The Asiatic compen'
sation is asked by the new arrange
ments to be reduced to a minimum,
and this, if put into operation, will
not threaten England's supremacy in
Asia. Other arrangements demand
definite settlement of the war indem'
nifty and the right of selfgovernment
to Thessaly and Epirus. All of these
bases are evidently of English origin
and include the demands which the
Court of st. james has all along per-
sistently made, so that from this stand
point and with the Gar in favor of
peace there can be but little difficulty
in the way of Congress.-Baltimore

From San Francisco the news Is

broke for day or two, then rallied,
and closed firm for all northern and
desirable woods. One of tho latest tel.

the prospect OF a permanent break is
