The progressist party in the German
Reichstag, led by RICHTER, TAskER, VlR-
CHOW, BUNsEN and MoMMsEN, is giving
BISMARCK considerable trouble. The
discussion on the 2sth ult, on the Sec
ond reading of the Budget, brought all
these orators into the field. BISMARCK
slashed and parried for time, but final
ly, was compelled to retreat behind the
throne and declare he WAS only the
spokesman of the Emperor, and protest
ed against the manner in which his, BIS
NARcK's, name was being constantly
dragged into the debates. Herr RICH
TER retorted that it was consolation
for the Liberals to know that the Hoben.
zollerns had no liking for the domination
of major domos, aud that the Crown
Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM would main.
tain complete independence in his.deal-
ngs with Prince BISMARCK. At the nd
journment BIS. was pretty badly used
up, having been roughly handled, par
liamentarily.

The Gazette misrepresents the cent?
ments of the law abiding citizens of st
Clairsville and Belmont County when j
says the people of that county "shall a

Law and Order is the creed of ever,

Bailey, the Republican candidate for
State Treasurer in Pennsylvania, has
GILT plurality. Time has been when
Pennsylvania gave one hundred thou
sand Republican maj 'rity. But the time
| is past when that could be done In a
| year or two Pennsylvania will be o
Democratic state.
A prominent Senator explains that
while Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives can, if able, give great as
sistance to the floor, recognizing the
proper man at the proper moment and
keenly apprehending the vulnerable po-
sitions of both parties, the leader OF q
party is valuable only In emergencies.
He says that man in the chair can
serve his party better than dozen lead
ers on the floor.
1t is an undoubted fact, and one that
some of the Republican papers of New
York candidly concede, that four fflhs
of the-stay-at-hom vote in that State
al the recent election was Democratic.
The Democratic majority in New York
CITY and BROOKLYN was cut down woe
fully, but it is not reasonable to suppose
that these voters have permanently re.
tired from politics. They will be found
at the polls at the next election and their
appearance will count heavily in the
general result.

GIBRALTAR is a part OF. the Spanish
dominions, and the occupation by En-
gland is offensive TO the pride of the
Spaniards, as well as injurious to the in-
terests Of Spain. Being free port
dealers in contraband goods, and SNUG
glers, use it to pour into Spain heavily
taxed articles without payment of duty.
1t is not likely that England would con-
sent to give up an impregnable strong
hold, and outpost, such as Gibraltar,
without first measuring strength with
Spain, or any other Power, that coveted
possession; therefore. we may conclude
that diplomacy will smooth over any
difficulty existing, and that England will
continue in possession.

do not want to hurt hair of any one
else. But Mr. Edelin, and others must
not display so much zeal in the future
or they will get hurt. had great diff

Mr.. PATRICK EGAN, of Paris, sends an
eloquent and soul-stirring Grafton on the
cause of Irish liberty to the great Chicago
convention. He has sent similar illusions
on similar occasions before. They sound
well, but there is an objection to Mr..
Egan's effervescence. 1t costs too much
money. Mr.. Egan is treasurer of the
Land League, but ought not to spend the
funds of the league in such foolish
manner. The money was not designed
by the donors to pay for the transmission
OF speeches by cable at the exorbitant
rates charged. There is no lack OF elo-
quence on the spot where one of these
great demonstrations occurs, and distant
patriots like Mr.. Egan should send their
remarks by mail. There is too much
suffering in Ireland, and too much prac-
teal work to be done, to admit of any
money being foolishly or needlessly ex-
pended.

TIE exact age of Judge Gilbert NJ.
Spier, of the New York Superior Court
seems to be one of those things which no
fellow can find ont. The public interest
and curiosity touching Judge Spier's age
seems to center in the circumstance of
Hon. Richard o. Germans receiving at the
late election in that State large major
ity of the votes cast for the position Judge
Spier now holds, the general opinion be-
ing that the latter had reached the sertu-
agenarian point in September last, and
hence ineligible for the Office under the
constitution of the State. Judge Spier
thinks he is one age and the man who
wants his Office is quite certain that he is
another. Mr.. O'Gorman appealed to
Judge Spier's old neighbors and the fam
lily bible record, and was sustained, but
Judge Spier repudiated both his old
neighbors and the family bible. Judge
6pier is Republican, and believes in q
"higher law" while Judge O'Gorman is
only plain Democrat.

JUDGE HILL, of the United States court,
district of Mississippi, has recently de-
cided novel question of admiralty law
1t seems that barge of coal tied to the
wharf boat Natchez, lying at Kleinstop
on the Mississippi river, took fire, and
that James Hamel by cutting the barge
loose from the wharf boat saved it from
destruction. The owners declined to
compensate Hamel, and he libeled the
wharf boat for salvage in the United
States court. The defendants set up the
defense that the wharf boat was not sub
ject to salvage service, it being only the
hulk of vessel, without motive power
or means of propulsion and not engaged
in commerce or navigation. Judge Hill,
however, entered decree giving Hamel
compensation as salvor.
