HOUSE.

The proceedings of the House yester-
day were entirely destitute of interest.
Nearly an hour was occupied in the high
ly exhilerating occupation of drawing
seats. This was attended with good
deal of confusion. Though it was under
stood that all members should vacate
their seats and allow first come-out of
the hat-to be first served, good many
of the knowing ones seized upon choice
locations and kept them till their names
were called towards the end of the list.
1t was hardly "a fair shake" for those
who honestly carried out the spirit of
the agreement
The canvass of the votes cast at the
recent election for judicial officers was
proceeded with in joint convention; and
afterwards the report of the committee
on rules was submitted and adopted.
The amendments are of no special con-
sequence.

long bound the party to Roscoe Conk-
ling They proved Intellectual, however,
and the candidate of the boss for speaker
of the assembly was selected without OPP
position, his only competitor withdraw
ing at the last moment, thus proving false
to his friends for the reward of smile
from the grandiloquent Senator who car
ries the offices of the State in his breech-
es pocket. 1t is safe to say that Conk-
ling will dictate the Senator to succeed
Herman as he did the choice of speaker OF
the House.
In Ohio we see another example of
bossism The chief boss of the State,
now secretary of the treasury, was likely
to be thrown out on the cold charities of the
world at the close of Mr.. Hayes term, and
there was but one vacancy to be filled
that of United States Senator. There
was formidable candidate for the place
in the person of Gov. Foster. He was
ordered to leave the track, and did so OBJ
sequiously, leaving Sherman clear field.
In this bulldozing Mr.. Garfield took an
active part. Foster is the choice of the
people of Ohio, but trifles like this were
of no consequence when the interests OF
the bosses were concerned.
The same system is being employed to
influence the Senatorial elections in Maine
and Minnesota In the former State Mr..
Hale has apparently got coutrol of the
machine, and all the barnacles who have,
for the past quarter of q century, chung
to public Office with bulldog tenacity,
are giving him their aid. He is rich,
thanks to the liberal requests of Ills
father-i law and is therefore in posi-
ton to be able to influence the few doubt
ing Thomases who pay no respect to boss
rule except when it is to their interest to
do so. He will, without question, be
chosen over his ADLER competitor, Mr..
Frye. CT
In Minnesota the boss system has ap-
parently met with cold douche, but there
is no telling as yet how the cat will jump.
The Ramsey clique are determined to re-
turn that leech upon the public treasury
to the Senate, and to that end are employ
ing all the disreputable tactics Of which
they are masters. Members are being
threatened, cajoled, and promised fat Of
fees if they will but fall down and wor-
ship the sacred COW, and there is some
reason to conclude that in some instances
they have been influenced by these meas
ures. One thing is certain: the Ramsey
cohorts will stop at nothing that shall
offer the slightest hope of success. They
have political influence, considerable pa
tronage, and an almost unlimited amount
of money. We shall see before many
days how effective these agencies are in
influencing the votes of legislators.
The Republican party as whole, in all
parts of the country, is a great machine,
manipulated by few ambitious engi-
neers. Money is the prime factor in all
political battles; then comes patronage,
and finally threats of the loss of political
caste One or the other of these influ-
ences generally proves effective. for legis-
lators are but human, and are given to
to the weaknesses of the flesh.

ALMOST Il TRAGEDY.
A Serious Mishap While Speeding the
Flyers Over the Snow.


Flyers Over the Snow.
Dayton avenue, the favorte snow drive of
gentlemen having fast roadsters, was the scene
yesterday afternoon about O'Clock of an ac-
cident nearly approaching the tragical in its
results as affecting Capt Bart. Atkins, the
well known reinsman and owner of one of the
fastest aud handsomest driving horses in this
city. Yesterday afternoon some fifteen or
twenty gentlemen were exercising their road
sters on the upper end of Dayton avenue, jog
ging out to the upper end
and speeding in. Several lively
brushes had been had, when it so happened
that Geo. Allen, Thomas Marrett, p. T. Kav-
anagh and Capt. Atkins made the upper turn
together and started toward the city, in the
order named. Fairly settled down to work,
Capt. Atkins passed Kavanagh and Capt. Mar
rett and pulled up on George Allen. The
speed was lively and the sport exhilerating,
when just as Capt. Atkins had got his horses
head even with Aliens cutter on the right
side, Aliens horse was seized with sudden
vertigo or choking. The suffering horse
made violent plunge in the air, and then fell
over broadside directly in front of Capt At
kins' horse.
This contretempts was SO sudden, the speed
so fast and the horses so close together there
was no escape from collision. Capt. Atkins
horse never swerved but sprang over the pros
trate animal, against which his sleigh struck
with terrible force, overturningi and hurting
Capt. Atkins through the air as if shot from
gun over the gutter, the boulevard and the
sidewalk, a distance of fully twenty feet,
against the picket fence of DR.. Days premises,
upon which Capt. Atkins struck with his
head, with a force sufficient to break two of
the pickets.
When reached it was found Capt. Atkins
was much less seriously injured than was an
ticipated by those who witnessed his terrible
fight through the air, though it was found he
had been cut across the. upper portion of the
forehead, and had also sustained severe scalp
wound directly across the center of his head
and some three inches in length, with num-
Der of slight bruises about the head and face.
He was removed as quickly as possible to his
residence, SO College avenue, and his injuries
attended to by DR.. Hand, who promises to
have him around all right in few days.
George Allen escaped with few slight
bruises, and neither of the horses suffered any
injury. All things considered, the wonder is
that the casualties were not far more serious

THERE is prospect that there Will be
considerable railroad legislation in the
various Western States this winter, The
recent consultations of lines have
alarmed some timid souls, while the large
increase in the value of stocks and the
heavy dividends declared have ledto the
impression that the rates of transporta-
ton are too high, There are two sides to
the question, however, and both will no
doubt have an airing before the legisla-
tive Solons of the West when the proper
time comes. 1t must not be forgotten
that the past year has been one of unex-
ampled prosperity, and it is probable that
never again will the railroads earn so
much proportionally as they have done
in the past twelvemonth.

THE oARNIV4L OF THE BOssEs.

The action of the legislatures of Penn
svlvania and New York demonstrates
anew the power that the bosses exercise
over the politics of those States. In the
first-named State, though Mr.. Grow was
undoubtedly the choice of majority of
the people, and though majority of the
members of the legislature were elected
with the express understanding that they
would vote for that gentleman, he was
laid out as dead as mackerl ebv the
Republican caucus manipulated by the
Camerons, pere ct fills. 1t appears that
the Republican members of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature are the absolute prop
crty, in fee simple, of the Cameron
bosses The man selected by these mar
mates as United States Senator from the
second State in the Union is Harry w
Oliver, man of great wealth. but of
rather inferior mental capacity when com.
pared with Mr.. Grow. He will represent
the manufacturing interests of the State
acceptably, it is to be presumed, but
nothing further. He will also be a de-
vout worshiper at the shrine of the Cam
erons, and this is all they require.

THERE were nearly thirty-two thou

four thousand OF the deaths two-fifths
were children under five years of age, a
majority of whom fell victims to the
miasma of the tenement houses. The
newspapers of the city are raising cry
against this evil, and demanding that
this class of residences be taken under
