As the Republicans have a major

As the Republicans have major
ity of ten in the Senate of this Com
monwealth, it would seem to be no
more than right and just that they
should organize and control it, but
the Independents are preparing to
play into the hands of the enemy by
demanding that one of their hall
dozen members be elected Speaker.
Otherwise they will c~oalese with tine
Democrats. 1t is possible for the
independents to thus place the Sen
ate in the hands of the Democrats,
and thus give them control of the
entire machinery of the State gov
eminent, but as Pennsylvania is es;
sentially and thoroughly a Repnbli-
can State, they will only be storing
up wrath for the day to come, and
the more certainly insure their total
determination at the next ensuing
election.

WHATEVER else may he said OF
the shutting down of rail mills in
Cleveland, Chicago. and elsewhere,
it is simply absurd to suppose it to
De, as charged by some, a gigantic
game of bluff, designed to frighten
the Democracy out of free-trade
proclivities. The rail mills have e a
son to fear unfriendly legislation on
the part of the next Congress, and
would be very foolish to pile up
large stocks upon which they might
realize heavy losses.-Later Ocean.
