THE most sensational of ali political
sensations from Washington during the
short life of the present administration
comes this afternoon, in the announce
ment of the resignation from the United
States senate of Roscoe Conkling AMI
Thomas G. Platt. federal senator's from
the Empire state Of New York. The
event, We believe, is one alto
gether without precedent and it is
certainly without anticipation by the
enterprising newsmongcr who send
their readers all that happens and is to
happen and much that never happened
and never will happen in that political
centre. Even Conkling never appeared
in such a dramatic attitude before.
That his shadow of a colleague should
follow in his footsteps is Of course not
wonderful, considering their relations.
Mr.. Arthnr, no doubt, would he
glad to quit the vice presidency.
too, if he saw his way ont. The
idea of this startling move is, 40 doubt,
the English idea of the ministry resign
ing and appealing to the people when
overborne by Parliament. Conkling and
Platt and their alleged senatorial prerOg-
atives have been ignored by Garfield and
by the majority of their colleagues, and
they propose to carry their appeal to the
party in their state. The present Legis-
lature being strongly Conkling, will
of course re-elect them, but as
this was assured them before they re-
signed it is difficult to see what vindica-
tion or significance there will be in
such a re election. If the vacancies
could he referred to Il new legislature, to
be elected by the people, the chances arc
there would be two Democratic senators
to succeed them. In any event the situ-
alton is full of interest and rs amusing
to the Republican party rs is the skin
"ning of an eel-tO the eel.

1t is not strange that the MOrm0ns are i'll
dignnnt at the refusal of the Governor of
Utah to give a certificate to Delegate Cannon.
1t Cannon is really an alien it is strange that
nobody has found it out before. He is now
serving his fourth term in Congress. Accord
ing to his biographical sketch in the Congress
sioual Directory, he is of English birth and
came to this country with his parents at an
early age. The proper way to determine a
question as to his citizenship would be by &"
contest in the House and not by an arbitrary
decision of the Governor.
