A Ridiculous Result.

The friends of the administration
show Il cOmmendable disposition not to
indulge in super-eXultatiOn ut the elec-
tiOn of Warner Miller and the prospect
of choosing Lapham United States sena-
tors from New York. Never before has
that great state had such a pitifully
meagre intellectual representation in the
United States senate as it now sends in
behalf of Garfield and Blaine's friends.
Out of a contest in which bribery and
blackmail played such conspicuous
part, the sc;ndalous issue of the election
of two obscure congressman, is not one
to be very proud of, even il it were not
embittered with the further reflection
that their election may rob the Republi-
cans of u majority of the lower house of
Congress.
Mr.. Miller is very ordinary man. lie
has been in Congress, and the only thing
which has distinguished him there is the
one thing which marks him as conspicu-
Ously unfit for a popular representative.
lie and another congressman have IA
monopoly of the patent upon the pro-
cess of making wood pulp, a leading in
gredient in paper making, the high price
of which keeps up the price of paper
These two monopolists, it is alleged,
"are able to say how much wood pulp
shall he sold for, and thus regulate the
price of paper. They nave grown
wealthy by forcing up this price and by
preventing the importation of wood pulp
under heavy duties--thus levying a direct
tax upon the education and intelligence
of the country" The only relief is to
reduce the tariff on wood pulp i'm
portatiOn. These two congressman
in their places, by combinations, have
protected their monopoly and prevented
relief for the public. For this the New
York Times placed Miller {" in the low
est category of public men" and the
Erening Post said that when in Con-
gress he endeavOred " by specious argu-
ments and false statements, to further
his own pecuniary interests and that
he did not allow political matters to
stand for a moment in the way of his
private profits" This is the new sena-
tor from New York.

A Sudden Notion.

The resignation of Superintendent of
Water Works Kitch, at this particular
juncture, in the absence OF any reason
given for it, is altogether impossible of
explanation and therefore cannot he re-
garded otherwise than as an act of in
justice to the city and to those. who
elected him. He sought and was chosen
to the Office for a year and took it with
the understanding that he would dis.
charge its duties for the whole term. If
he had been ousted from it without
cause he would naturally and reasonably
have complained of it. Likewise his res
ignation, at this time, when important
work is about being begun and when the
whole administration of his department
will be embarrassed by a change in the

Why IT NtAndS Still.

Tho Field fund for Mrs. Garfield still
fingers at about three-fftbs of the
amount which it was at first exultlngiy
tclegraphed over the country, had been
raised and rendered her by the New
York chamber of commerce. Although
an appeal has been made for the widows
mite, and Mr.. Field has telegraphed to
one city after another to know what
they would do in their own way to swell
the fund, it has not exceeded $l5O,OW
as yet, and increases very slowly. Asa
Philadelphia Press correspondent writes
from New York, this is due to the fact
that "as fast as the chances of Mr..
Garfield S improvement have grown more
probable the likelihood of completing the
subscription has diminished. The senti-
ment among the least impressionable
capitalists has declared itself very clearly
in favor of providing Mrs. Garfeld's
family with a heavy fortune in case of
the presidents death, but not to force
him into the attitude of pauper if he
lives and retains his ability to earn a
handsome income" Messrs. Mackay and
Vanderbilt, either of whom could easily
furnish the whole amount, with degree
of good sense that millionaires do not
always manifest, are reported to have de-
clined "to do anything whatever which
would he likely to prove humiliating to
the man at the head Of the government. y
The Press correspondent is not rash in
predicting that "Mrs. Garfield will
shortly decline the offer, and that she is
only waiting until her husband RECEIVERS
sufficiently to talk over the matter in
order that she may gain his consent--a
consent which he will probably give with
emphasis and total absence of hesta-
tion." lie certainly reflects sound pub
lie opinion when nc adds: "Mr. Fields

Whatever opinion may exist about his
administration, and we have found many
things in it to commend, there will be
no dispute that sudden change in
the water department, at this time, is
embarrassing to the majority of his
party now controlling councils and
might expose the water works to danger
In this view of the case some further
excuse than yet appears is needful to
Justify his resignation.

THE END OF THE WOuLD.

James M. Swormstedt has figured 1t Qua
that the world will come to an end at mid
night Of November IL, 1881. He closes his
wonderful and fearful prediction as follows,
at is a very remarkable coincidence that
at midnight of November l2, the seven stars
from whence Christ will descend, and Jupi-
ter, the earth. and the sun will be in d.
rect line with each other. The comet will.
think. come straight from this line. The
most direful effect will follow it's contact with
our planet. Both bodies travelling at the
rate of more than thousand miles per
minute, there can but ensus the most disas-
trous consequences. II will produce the
most awful earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
whirlwinds and tornadoes the world has
ever witnessed The mouRtains will iow
down with lava, also with torrents Of ystsf
caused by the melting of the accumulated
snow of centuries. Whole cities win >hs
swept away by these foods. Other cities
will be thrown down by great earthquakes,
and still others will be destroyed by ttrue-
does aud whirlwiuds. Many others viii BE-

indicates that the force of the great coneus-
sion will be SO dreadful and produce such
tempest that the cloud which surrounds the
earth will be rolled together as a scroll and
carried Off by the comet.
"The earth will present wretched and
ruined appearance as il emerges beyond the
comets train. According 10 ST. John, the
world will become panic stricken az the
comet approaches the earth. Kings will de-
sert their thrones, great men their estates
rich men their wealth, the chief captains
and the mighty men their armies, aud all
other men their occupations, and will fee
to the caves and rocks of the mountains fcr
shelter. And after they reach those places
their terror will be so great amid the sppals
ing calamities that herald the app zach Of
the Christ they have SO long rejected theyl
will call for the mountains and rocks 10 fal
on them, aud hide them from the face Of
Him that sitcth on the throne, and from the
wrath OF the Lamb.

Al protection promised in Tins Psslm. and
