 NEW YORK, Feb. "A story is current on creditable authority that the Southern Pacific railroad of Cali fornia, instead of being pushed for ward across to Texas, is to be rapidly pushed forward to Tubac, Mexico. and thus reach and control large Mexican trade.

Privilege OF Parliamen ent.

Evidently the "obstructives" have no
friends in the House of Commons, or no
friends certainly that are willing to help
them in case in which they had found
Joint in the Speakers armor. In the
ordinary course of legislation in the British
Parliament now the legitimate opposition
is of very little account for the liberals
under the presumed lead of the Marquis
of Harrington are an 'amiably disposed
body, and view almost all public questions
from nearly the same standpoint as the
government. This gives an opportunity
for a great deal Of outside enterprise-the
guerilla tactics of oppositlon-and band
of liberal guerillas recently amused them
selves by whipping the government on bill
for the regulation of corporal punishment
in the armed service. They were assisted
in this dash by those obstreperous Irish
members who have earned for themselves
the name of ''obstructives." In the course
of the skirmish the "obstructives," as they
generally do, carried their proceedings to an
extreme point, and the Speaker appointed a
special reporter to take more precise ac-
count of their doings than is given in the
ordinary report. He was called to account
tor this as for breach OF parliamentary
privilege, which in its essence it certainly
was, for only vote of the House could
give authority for such an act. Unfortu-
nately, however, for the motion of the sob
structives, the Speaker had the sympathy of
the House, which, by a vote of confidence,
assumed the responsibility for what he had
done. In the House OF Commons as in
many other houses, 1t depends upon whose
privilege it is that is violated as to whether
the violation is an offence.

More Indian War.

Indians desperate with hunger and deter
mined on war are to-day reported from the
neighborhood of Sitting Bulls camp as
likely to be the lively feature of the
summer. Many parties of Sioux are
scattered in the country north of the
Missouri on marauding expeditions, and
the concentration of all the Immediately
available troops under the command of Gen.
eral Miles points to the fact that the mil
itary authorities are fully aware of what is
on foot and are making timely provision to
meet the trouble. Another war with the
Sioux who have adhered to the fortunes
of Sitting Bull and those who are in SYM
pathy with them, has for good while ap-
peared to be an inevitable fact. Those Indians
cannot live on the Canada side of the line.
They cannot get meat by their own exer-
tions, and the British government will not
supply them. They must come on our
side +; yet they cannot and will not submit |;
they will not live on our side on the only
conditions on which we can permit them to
live They come as enemies, therefore,
and sooner or later they will all come
together. If that event is to happen now
we are perhaps as well prepared for 1t as
we shall be for good while to come
General Miles is one of the men who may
be relied upon to give good account of q
|. reasonable number of Indians, and his
present tactics of keeping the country be-
fore him clear of all Indians who pretend
to be friendly promises we'll for such a
hasty determination Of hostilities as will
not give time for the reservation Indians to
become generally demoralized.

A Novelty in Burglary.

As q rule church does not seem to offer
robes, hassocks, odd pieces of carpet, mats,
lamps, pulpit chairs Bibles, prayer books
hymn books and lambrequins are not the
sort of property the general class of the
fraternity would care about possessing,
and we question whether even a New
to take an interest in such an
enterprise. But the gentlemen who
have been operating on the ecclesias-
tlcal edifices in Queens county evidently
take different view of the matter. They
have not only been emptying the places of
worship in that county of such articles as
we have enumerated, but have extended
their enterprise so far as to include in their
transfers organs, clocks, altar tables, cheap
chromos from the vestry rooms, and spades,
shovels and picks from the gruveyards,
while in one instance at least they at
erality of the robbers in their religious
opinions is marked, and might with advan-
tages be emulated by the churches they
have plundered. Denominations were as
nothing in their eyes and they paid no
attention to schisms It gave them as
much satisfaction to enter an Episcopal
as Baptist, a Methodist, q Unitarian
or O Catholic church, and oil edi-
tions of the Bible were alike to them,
provided they were equally well bound and
in AN equally good state of preservation.
One of the two operators captured had re-
Gently entered the holy state of wedlock,
and his brides house presented very
ecclesiastical appearance. Her seat was a
pulpit chair, her footstool q hassock,
her bed covering an altar veil and
her mantel ornaments crucifxes and COM
munion cups. The surplus property was
disposed Of by auction, and it is singular
that the slime of goods" offered by the gen.
tlemen did not suggest their occupation
until they were detected on Thursday
last by means of an alarm connect
ing church they attempted to rob at
Queens, Long Island, with the dominie's
house. among the goods found in posses
sion of the burglars are number of demi-
johns Of whiskey, but we trust it may be
shown that these did not come from the
vestry rooms of the Queens county
churches.

Dangers OF Diam monds.

The developments in relation to the al
legged extensive conspiracy to defraud per-
sons out OF large sums of money by induc-
ing them to purchase or nuke loans on
diamonds which turn out to be worth
not q tenth OF the amount secured
promise to be somewhat remarkable.
The victims of such fraud scarcely
deserve sympathy. Pure diamonds are
worth fixed value, according to their
weight, and any person possessing them
can sell them or raise money on them up to
within small percentage OF their intrinsic
value. When bargains in diamonds are
offered it may be concluded that they are
faulty stones, without intrinsic value, or
that a swindle is intended in some manner.
If any person should tell o man of COM
mon intelligence that some lady in
temporary difficulty desired to borrow
five hundred dollars on hundred twenty
dollar gold pieces. he would be laughed ut.

Law OF the station House.

Sergeant Oates, of the First police pre-
cinct, ought to be instructed by his captain
or somebody else in his duty when oficiat-
ing at the station house desk. On Satur-
day afternoon two First ward politicians
were arrested on a charge OF fighting in the
public streets. One Of the combatants,
who has figured frequently in similar
disgraceful ARRAYS, was alleged to have
threatened the others life, and to have
been prevented from carrying his threat into
operation only by the quickness and vigor
of his antagonist with his fist. When car
ried TO the station house the brawlers were
liberal in their abuse of each other, but
were discharged by the efficient sergeant
because neither would prefer charge
against the other. The offence of which
they were guilty was that OF disturbing the
public peace, and the charge of the police
man who made the arrest was sufficient to
hold them. 1t was the sergeant's duty to
have locked them up and sent them to the
police court in the morning. They stood in
the station house as offenders against the
law, and not simply against one another.
The police have been instructed by police
commissioner learned in the law that it is
their duty to arrest and lock up oil night
any housekeeper who may sweep handful
OF dirt from her doorstep into the gutter.
Does the same authority hold that the
police have the right to dismiss q complaint
made against two brawling politicians who
create disturbance by fighting and
threatening to use revolvers in the public
streets

Our Grain Crop.

An observation of the grain crop made in
all the counties on the line of the Union
Pacific Railroad as far west as the North
Platte River is reported in our kilograms
to-day; and gives indications substantially
similar to what have been hitherto reported
from many other parts of the country.
Wheat is in fine condition and corn is
likely to surpass any crop ever harvested.
Some damage has been done in places by
hail and some by insects. From other parts
of the country we hear of some complaints
that the dry weather has done harm. But
the areas affected by the various troubles
are small; while, taking all the grain pro-
ducing regions together, the evidence
is that we shall make crop greatly
in excess of our yearly average.
And this great product will coincide in
time with the occurrence of o good market,
for that there will be scarcity in all Western
Europe appears to be beyond doubt. 1t is
bad year in France and bad year in
England. Cold and rain have done the
harm in those countries, and cold and rain
have prevailed in all the other countries
Through this relation of the grain trade
the ''pull" against Europe that we have
had for some time-our season of great
comparative prosperity will be continued
yet throughout this year and will set our
financial condition beyond the reach of the
Congressional tinkers We shall hear less
and less of labor grievances as the money
gets more and more completely right, but
governments in Europe will have hard
time with overburdened and hungry
people.

A Questionablr verdIct.

The verdict of the Coroner's jury in the
Seymour case, that the death of the de-
ceased was the result of accidental shooting
by some person or persons unknown. is q
convenient one for the police as seemingly
excusing their failure to detect the crimi-
nal, but is not sustained by the evil
dence. Indeed, while the tragedy is
involved in mystery. there is much
better reason for believing that it
covers murder than an accident.
The direction Of the wound favors the
theory that the shot was fred by some per-
son on a line with the deceased and only
short distance from him. Accidental shoot
ing implies that the pistol was fred from
the street below or from one of the oppo-
site houses above the level on which the
deceased stood, in either of which events
different. Besides, the chances are strongly
against the accidental firing of ball car
tridges into the seminary grounds, where
it is known that people are accus-
toned to walk. That people will recklessly
and criminaliy discharge loaded pistols in
the streets on the Fourth we know by acci-
dents resulting from the practice, but gen.
orally such shots are fred in the air. At
all events, verdict in this case of wilful
murder against some person or persons un-
known would have been more justi6able
than one Of accidental death. But then
that would have exposed the carelessness
OF the police in guarding the grounds and
have made record against them Of another
undiscovered crime, while now they get rid
of the affair and discontinue any further

the course of Senators Blaine and Hamlin
by voting the greonback ticket. The green
back movement in Maine, as in many other
States, notably in the South, was the ex-
preston of discomfort and disgust with the
old parties. 1t gained its strength from the
support of men who were tired of empty
and barren personal politics and were not
disposed to be dragged at the heels of a few
machine men. If Secretary Sherman is as
wise and shrewd as he is generally believed
to be he may easily reunite the Maine re-
publicans on platform of honest money.

A Useless Plea.

The trial of Chastine Cox for the murder
of Mrs. Hull commences to-day. The
prisoners counsel makes no secret of the
fact that the defence will be s'homicidal
insanity" When the guilt Of a murderer
is undeniable the modern practice is to at
tempt to cheat the gallows by a plea Of in
sanity; but in this case there is but little
fear of its success. The confession of the
prisoner shows that his deliberate purpose
in entering Mrs. Hull's house at midnight
was to rob her Of her jewels,
and he has persisted in his assertion
that he nev er intended to charm hair OF
the poor lady's head" He was sane enough
to plan the burglary and robbery, and his
confessed acts after he entered the house
prove that he intended to secure the coveted
booty and escape arrest at all hazards. When
he sprang at his victims throat as she
moved restlessly in her sleep, and smoth-
cred her when in her terror she attempted
to scream, he was simply carrying out his
premeditated crime. A cooler, more sys-
tematc and more deliberate murder Was
never committed.

The SENTENCE of "Jake' Berry, who was
awarded eight months imprisonment and fine
for keeping disreputable place of amusement,
has been committed by the Governor and re-
duced by three-quarters, petitions to that effect
having been largely signed. But neither Berry
nor the public should forget that he knew ex-
nctly what he was doing when he opened the
low haunt with which his name is connected,
and that public sympathy with the prisoners
wife and mother is not to be regarded as a sign
OF willingness to paliate his offence.
