a CHALLENGE TO THE "srALWA

The antimachine Republicans in the
New York Legislature have placed their
q stalwart opponents in very awkward
position by their recent challenge to them
to vote for Depew. They have adopted
resolutions stating that since Depew has a
majority Of. the Republican votes of the
Legislature, it is the duty of all who de-
sire that the State should be represented
n the Senate by Republicans to vote for
him. A rebuke is at the same time ad-
ministered to those anti Conkling members
who have been scattering their votes since
the balloting began, but the heaviest blow
ia at the Conklingites The latter are a
minority, and they are resisting the will
of majority. In so doing they have put
themselves outside the organization rules,
and are become mere flibusters. 1t is not
possible that they can much longer maintain
their present attitude, and it is un-
likely that the anti Conklingites who have
heretofore cast scattering votes will be
willing to take The responsibility of help
ing their opponents to defeat the Republi-
can party. As soon as it is made apparent
to everyone that the Conklingites are now
working for nothing but the defeat of their
own party, there must be concentration
against them, and it is by no means i'm
probable that several of Conkling's men
will choose to abandon him rather than
leave the Republican party. The longer
the deadlock lasts, indeed, the more hope
less does Conkling's situation become, and
the more iudefensible. There are, how
ever, already indications that an important
breaking up OF the contending elements is
at hand, and when this happens it will not
be to the advantage of the late Senators.

IsrHMUs COMPLAINTS.

The work on Lesseps' canal does not ap.
pear to make rapid progress. Again NUT
terings of complaint and discomfort are
heard from that region. A local paper ex-
presses mild wish that there was some
what less Dragging being dore in Paris and
somewhat more work on the Isthmus
The engineers and managers and work
men and lawyers who were said to have
been sent over in shiploads do not seem to
be in the best possible spirits, either. 1t
is alleged that the employees are all UNDER
paid that the work is not being carried
forward in an earnest and businesslike
way and that it looks at times as though
the main object of having anyone on the
Isthmus at all was to sell shares in Paris
Perhaps all this will pass over, but it is
now some time since these gloomy reports
began to be waited from the Isthmus.

we WHITrAKEa CASE.

Poor Whitaker appears to have no
friends Ii he had they would certainly
not allow him to keep his case before the
country. or harrass the Government with
applications which it cannot and ought not
to grant. He has had more than enough
of inquiries. 1t has been proved to the
satisfaction Of every dispassionate observer
that he is an impostor, and that he himself
perpetrated what he called the outrage
upon himself. Had not the Courts which
investigated his case been almost culpably
merciful, he would long since have been
prosecuted FOR his criminal conduct, and
would in all probability have been serving
a term in the Penitentiary to day. The
fact that there are silly people ready to be-
Iieve that he has been prosecuted, argues
nothing in his behalf. The Tichborne
Claimant still has thousands of believ.
ers. who entertain sort Of second advent
theory in regard to him. Whitaker has
trespassed too much upon the indulgence
both of the public and the Government,
and we are disposed to think that it might
F,e the greatest kindness to him to give him
lis deserts.

a DAMAGING STATEMENT.

Paymaster Kenny, having been asked
by San Francisco reporter why the
canned provisions for the Rodgers were
not ordered in San Francisco at first,
states that the reason for ordering them
from the East was the frequent frauds
practiced upon the Government by San
Francisco merchants. He said " The
Government has learned by sad expe-
"rience that California packers cannot be
depended upon. While l do not deny
"tbat you can put up as good beef here as
" elsewhere, l do maintain that the spirit
"of competition is SO rLe that your best
merchants cannot compete. The conse-
"quence is all manner OF stuff is put
aboard the ships. An instance in point !:
"a 1t was but the other day that the Wa
" chusetts came into port, and reported

BEY AND BUFFooH.

The Bay OF Tunis has caused much ex-
element by appointing his favorite buff
foon to sort OF viceroyalsy. The Bey
evidently thinks it his duty to keep up the
custom of the Caliphs. From time imme-
mortal it has been the practice of these
princes to make statesmen and rulers of
their BARRIERS and buffoons, and for the
most part the BARRIERS and buffoons have
proved as capable rulers as their masters.
Sometimes they have succeeded in over
throwing the latter, but they have gener.
ally governed as oppressively as any
Caliph or Pasha could desire. The present
Bey's buffoon appears to have bad repu.
tation, but probably he is not worse than
the Bey. Let us remember that Haroun-
al -Raschid was fraud of the first water,
according to the latest researches. and not
be surprised when Bey of Tunis does
foolish things

each week sixteen pages of matter are given to the

the family, the business office, the shop, the

Won. F., had spoiled and been thrown over

"you,) had spoiled and been thrown over
"board. There are now lying at Mare
"Island thousands of pounds of canned
meats, California productions, that can
"not be put aboard a vessel destined for a
long and important trip" This is avery
damaging statement, and though the Gov
ernment, in the case of the Rodgers, did not
fare any better by going East for canned
provisions, the fact that it should be
thought necessary to go there is grave
impeachment of the honesty and trust
worthiness of California merchants and
manufacturers. The fact no doubt is,
however, that the Government unwit-
tingly fosters the cut-throat competition
which produces such results, by making
mere economy OF price the criterion of
everything. 1t is plain enough that if the
Government purchasers adopted system
of refusing to accept anything on the sole
ground of cheapness, but insisted on prae-
tical tests of the quality of all supplies,
and were ready to pay reasonable prices
for first quality goods, this disgraceful
swindling would soon be eliminated. But
SO long as the cheapest contract takes the
Job the Government must expect that
rogues will resort to ali manner of devices
to secure profit out of ostensibly impos.
sible. price lists; and it is obvious that
this can only be done by supplying the
most inferior things. The truth is that
the system followed by the Government
invites and almost necessitates dishonesty,
and no better method for securing the very
worst of everything could be devised.

THE CHINESE. THEIR EDUCATION, PurIosoPHY AND
LETTERS. BY W. A. P. Martin, d. D., LII. d.
New York: Harper & Brothers. San Francisco
A. L. Bancroft Co.
DIR. Martin has here collected series of
essays on Chinese subjects which have ap-
peared in various periodicals. The informa-
ton conveyed is frequently both interesting
and important. The State educational sys-
tenn of China is of the most fossilized charac-
ter. The erudition required of the scholar
is a mere barren familiarity with grammatical
forms and the rules of composition and
rhetoric. There is no instruction in ontology,
and the so-called science of the Chinese acad-
emies would have been laughed at in the mid
die ages of Europe. But though the quality
of education is as unsatisfactory as it can be,
nothing more admirable than the prii.

SATURDAY, JAN. Is, 1881.
U. s. SENATOR.

The Wheeling daily papers are full
of pungent squibs on this subject. 1t
is Camden, Hereford and Mathews
dressed to suit the imagination of
the scribes. At this writing no
caucus Of the predominant party
has been held, consequently all is
conjecture. At the last Senatorial
election the Republicans performed
a coup u etat and were instrumental
in settling the matter. 1t may be
the Democrats will forestall any
such occurrence at this session by a
caucus nomination. AT this writing
Hon. j. N. Camden, of Parkersburg,
seems to be the favorite. A compil-
alton of injurious newspaper COM
ments has been issued against him,
and we suppose his opponents are
able to furnish plenty of copies free
of charge. We are not very well
acquainted with all Of the candi-
dates, but we doubt if any of them
can show as successful business
record as Mr.. Camden. OF course,
the cry of wealth and of personal
interests will be raised against him
even in his own ranks, but we doubt
very much if personal success should
count aught against any man of
either party in this free country.
Success is the reward of industrious
application-tireless and unceasing
energy-and those who harp upon it
as disqualification are the drones
of the world. All honor we say to
the man who through and by his
own efforts, wrests, through toll and
vigilance, competency in this
world. Luck is the FOOLS word for
success. Work-hard work-activ-
ity, carefulness, prudence, judgment,
unceasing, untiring and sleepless,
are the true, essential elements that
wins the prize, and if Mr.. Camden
has been able to go to the front by
these aids he cannot be bad man.
and certainly should receive credit,
instead of denunciation, as his merit.

A Singular Asset.
Galveston New s.

"I'm a peaceable man." said the
intruder, grasping his club with
both his hands, "but If you DONE
come down with $3.50 damages
for my lacerated feelings, the bonn
bardment will begin at once.'
The owner of the dog paid down
the money, az he was afraid the
other fellow might exasperate him
if he hit him with q club of that
size. The ow ner of the dog also
said that he was sorry the dog had
bitten the intruder's son.
"Why, he amt my son." said
the intruder.
"Whose sou is he, then p asked
the astonished owner of the dog.
"He is the son of a friend
of mine who owed me $3.50
but he is poor, and the only
available assets he has are the dog
bites on his boy, which he turned
over to me for collection"
"Well, I'll be blowed."
ooh, you needn't complain yeu
are getting off dog cheap. l ought
to make you pay in advance for
the next time that boy is going to
he Bit"
