The recent splendid victories in the cleo
tions of Philadelphia are attributed to the
fact that the young men came to the front
young men there who, for some years past,
had been held in thraldom as the Times
says, to lot Of vulgar, selfish,
uneducated fellows, party bosses and
hacks, who had boastfully proclaimed
that no man could aspire to the
humblcst public Office or even to position
in the party councils except by their favor
and under their command. The young
men grew tired of such injustice and OPP
preston and they rose in their might and
threw off the shameful yokes, and so won
the day for decency, progress, advanced
thought and good government.

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
1t is reported that Mr.. Blaine has request
cu ms lIltlllS W luONc All lllNcstlHdLlOn INTO
matters covered by the resolution reported
from the senate foreign relations committee
to-day. The investigation is to be sweep
ing in character, including the alleged loss
of papers from the files of the state depart
ment and the alleged connection of all par.
ties who held official relations with
the United States with the Pc
ruvian claims or contracts. 1t is said Mr..
Blaine regards such sweeping investiga-
ton rs the surest means of disproving
the insinuations AS to his connection with
the claims, and Of showing that if any per-
sons in official life have an interest in such
claims they are not close friends of Mr.
Blaine.
Combines CHANCES.
There is some opposition to Conkling's
confirmation, but not in any organized
state, and indications are it will amount to
only few negative votes, as the democrats

will be reported favorably at the first ex.
ecutivc session of the senate.

Henry Ward Beeeher has withdrawn from
the New York and Brooklyn Association of
Congregational Churches, because he
thought 1t right to relieve the association
from all apparent responsibility for his
theological opinions, which he -admits differ
In some respects from those of Con-
gregationalists in general, and have been
declared unsound and heretical by some of
the religious papers. The announcement
Of his withdrawal was accom- panied by a
statement of his belle which departed from
the standard of the Westminster confession
in regard 10 the doctrines of original sin, the
nature Of the atonoment and future
punishment. These beliefs, he said,
were those of his whole life.
He withdrew from the association
that Its members might feel no responsible
~ for him, nor obligation to defend him,
but he never was in warmer personal SYM
patty with them than now. His withdrawal
took the association by surprise, and after
some discussion a resolution was unami-
mOusly adopted declaring that his resigna-
ton was accepted with pain and regret,
that they recognized the magnanimity Of
his motives, that they found nothing in
his statement inconsistent with member
shipin that or any other Congregational
association, that they had undiminished
personal attachment and respect for him,
and hoped he would reconsider his resigna-
ton and return TO membership in the as
seciation.

be unable to keep the peace if he attempted

the candidate in question, is serene about it,
he thinks that he can make mere votes by
being kicked around than he can by making
speeches. BE represents the better class of
Democrats as being Disguised by the roughs

sever their political connection with them.

of the New York Times in 1876, and passed

THE FIRST srEAMsHIP.

In M. dc Lssseps'S new paper ar
interesting article appears, giving
the description Of the Savannah, tho
first steamship that ever crossed the
Atlantic. 1t IL just sixty three
years since the Savannah, vessel
OF $50 tons, sailed from the port af-
ter which she was named for Liver
pool. The vessel was built by Fran
CHS Fichett at New York, where she
was launched in 1918, and after
ward fitted with engines made at
Morristown, N. ]. The credit Of
crossing the ocean is due to John
Scarborough, who bought the steam
er just after che left the stocks. 1t
is stated that wlen the novel ship
with a flannel arrived off Cape Clear,
she was supposed to be on fire, and
cutter was sent from the naval sta
ton at Cork TO her relief. A rumor
having obtained credence that she
was designed to rescue Napoleon
from ST. Helena, a sharp watch waa
kept on her. The real object was to
sell her at a profit, and she was of
iered TO the Swodish and Russian
Governments, but as neither would
buy her, che once more made tho
ocean passage to New York, traded
between New York and Savannah,
and was finally wrecked on Long Is-
land.
