Special Dispatth to The CHICAGO Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 26.-Collector Har-
yey spent the day here on his return from New
York. There having been some question raised
as to tho payment Of the reward Of $500 for the
capture Of Thoma!en, he made some inquiries
about it, amt tho Secretary Of the Treasury will
doubtless order it paid without contest. It is
expected that Thoualen will appear in Chicago
on Dec. 10, to which time he WIS bailed under
S5,000. If he does not, bis bail is said TO be
good, and If he should undertake to forfeit his
bail it is not probable that he will be able to
escape the vigilance OF tho United States
officers.
MOORE AND DUDLEY.
Jesse H. Moore, OF Illinois, is said to be a
candidate for the position Of Commissioner OF
Pensions in case Col. Dudley, the present Com
missioner, Is appointed Commissioner OF
Patents The Commissionershlp of Patents IS q
position to which Col. Dudley aspired when be
WIS appointed Commissioner Of Pensions, bur he
took the latter place at tina urgent request OF
Gen. Garfield.
The tops of the cars which arrived here from
the West this morning we're covered with snow

!. Specfol Dt,pateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. :6-The only Illinois
members who have thus far arrived arc Repre-
6cptatiyes Davis. Of Chicogo. and Cannon ana
Henderson. The names OF tho three, at different
times have been mentioned III connection with
the Spcakcrship contest, and Gen. Henderson
ut one time has been spoken or very faForaoiy'
lie now has very many trlcuus' out II docs not
appear thut he Ia organizing any canvass. 1t the
Illinois delegation shall be disposed to unite in
favor of one OF their own members in the null
tipiicitv Of candidates froul the West and tho
great struggle between the two sections Illinois
possibly might have chance At present, how
ever, tho State can hardly be considered in the
field. At least, If any organization has been
commenced on behalf Of any one from Illinois,
it hus been kept very secret.
SOME FIFTY MEMBERS
Of the House of Representatives have arrived
since Thanksgiving, Il minority OF them Repub-
licans, and tho Speakcrship contest may now be
cousidesed as having fairly begun. The differ
ent candidates do not this morning give any
more tetinit reasons for their confidence. The
contest for the Clcrkship has not fairly opened
yet. Sir. Rainey, the colored ex-Conyressina1
from South Carolina, very much desires tho
position, and thinks that the party should gfve
il to him, innsmuch as he was their last caucus
nominee, but there is q general impression that
MIR. Edward tlClherSQn Will receive tue pl0ce
Tho supporters Of Mir. uiscock have received
some encouragement today from i report taut
two of the Ohio clegaion-Townsend Of Cleve-
land and Afcknley-have determined to vote
for Hiscock This, II it proves true, will be u
serious blow to Keifcr's candidacy, and will give
Hiscock IN impetus III the West, WHICH hitherto
has been wanting.
STAR ROUTES.
1t is evident, from the talk Of congressman
who haye arrived here, particularly from tho
section where the star mail routes exist, that
they arc by no mems satisfied with the economies
which Postmaster Gcncral Junes has ACCOM-
plished in that service. and that they will use
all efforts In their power to secure return of
many of the important lines Of star-route serr-
ice which huve been discontinued The matter
undoubtedly will bo BROUGHT up In Congress,
when the whole subject Of the star routes will
doubtless be debased- One of the tlrecuons
Which the opposition will take will be tho intro
ducuon of a resolution directing the Postmns-
ter General to '1iscontine no more star-route
service Until Congress hts had titno to examine
the subject. It is very possible that new Post
mastcr-G General would welcome such q resolu-
ton.

LONDON, Oct. THE Times says !:
The speeches of Gladstone, in the pres
ent condition of affairs, can barely fail
to be taken as an important political
manifesto. The country will listen with
anxious interest to Gladstone's ju6g-
ment on the question now demanding
the attention of the Government, and
will feel that the occasion is a less one
for party controversy than for frank
exposition of Gladstone's views on
urgent matters Of affairs at home and
abroad. The Cabinet council called for
Wednesday next is to consider affairs
in the Transvaal and Egypt.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR READ
ERS.

The New York Tribune, which is one
of the most striking illustrations of what
brains, industry and judiciously applied
capital can accomplish in the way OF
successful journalism, says:
A newspaper is business enterprise,
and must be conducted on business prin-
ciples. Men are constantly asking ia
vOrs from newspapers, which mean q
sacrifice of space representing money,
who would never dream of asking law
yers to take cases without fees, or ex-
pect their doctors to take their pay in
thanks. The deadhead is disappearing
from other departments of business life,
and the newspaper deadhead, distin-
guished though he may be, must follow.
Newspapers, being business enterprises,
must live in business way. If the pub
lie does net support the best newspapers,
it must expect to see the worst news
papers thrive. The daily is product
rather than force. 1t will not only
reflect but represent the age it lives in.
1t is true, and especially true of our
own country, that newspapers in the
hands of men having convictions and
believing that they could, with this
modern lever, help move the world,
have accomplished great things. With
out them the great movements of the
past century for the furtherance Of per-
sonal, religious and political liberty
would have travelled at a snai's pace.
But this was possible only because they
had the support and sympathy of the
best men and women of the community.
The newspapers can lead, but leadership
implies a following, and where none will
follow none will be brave enough to
lead. AS rule newspapers are what
their readers make them. The respon-
sibility of the subscriber is as great in
its way as that of the editor. The
surest way Of keeping the standards of
our journalism high, and of raising
them, is for that portion Of the public
which knows the value and necessity of
a dignified and able press to withhold
it's support altogether from newspapers
which cater to depraved tastes and are
reckless of the truth, and to give it to
newspapers which can safely be taken
into the family, and are not only decent
but Just.

Disgusting STUFF.

A good many silly, and some bias
phemous things were said throughout
the country on the occasion of President
Garfield's funeral. The most disgusting
harangue, however, was made by
minister named Jones, who was the
chaplain of Garfield's regiment, and
who officiated at Cleveland at the clos
ing ceremonies. Here is specimen {:
"When we sent General Garfield to
the Capitol at Washington he weighed
two hundred and ten pounds. He had
q soul that loved his race a splendid
intellect, that almost bent the largest
form to bear it! You bring him back
to us a mere handful of some eighty
pounds, mostly of bones, in that casket!
Now, ask, why is this?'
The solemnity of the occasion could
have been the only bar to suppressing
such an idiot.
Frederick Wagner, barroom- keeper
in New York City, quarreled with his
wife the other night, turned down the
.gaslights, unleashed a fierce and power
full bloodhound, and set the brute on
the unfortunate woman. The dog
seized her by the neck and arms, LAGER
ating and tearing the flesh badly. Her
cries of distress reached the ears of
some boys in the street, and they in
formed the police, who rescued the
woman and arrested the villain; and
yet, Notwithstanding the fact that he
had previously assaulted her, the poor
wife was unwilling to press the charge.
Congress voted Mrs. Lincoln sos, 900;
it made all letters to and from her free,
and it gave her life pension of $4,000
a year. Mrs. Garfield will have at least
$4,000 from Congress, probably pen
sion of $50, 900 year, and fund now
being raised for her will not be less
than $4,000 which at three per cent.
would yield $1,000 year.
