TIE Commonwealth club, the new
Democratic social organization of Phil
adelphia, opened its house on Saturday
evening with a brilliant gathering of
state Democrats, and the occasion was
likewise made memorable by the presence
Of Judge Black and Senator Bayard,
whom the party Of the whole country
delights to honor. The Commonwealth
does not assume to usurp the functions
or direct the management of the regular
organization Of the party in Philadel-
phia, but it will bring together into q.
social union and for friendly conference
distinguished and influential members
of the party from all over the state.
Such an association cannot fail to be
potential for the good of the party in
Philadelphia and in Pennsylvania. In
its organization we discern the promise
Of better things.
Occurring at the same time with the
inauguration of the Commonwealth
club the proposed reorganization of the
Philadelphia city committee gives as
surance that the better men of the party
there have at last determined to Law
their hands upon its direction. The
promised agreement Of all factions to
unite in the selection of Mr.. Randall for
chairman is only less gratifying than
the report that the Democrats of Phila-
delphia, ''either from choice or necessi-
ty, are united in the purpose to dig the
Democracy out of it grave clothes and
make it a liberal, progressive and ag-
gressive Reform party, so broad in its

The Congressional Committee.

There comes from Washington
nothing less than we expected in an EN-.
phatic denial of a story that the Demo
cratic congressman from this state were
disposed to name Gov. Curtin as the
Pennsylvania representative on the
Democratic national congressional COM
nittee, but that, owing to Don Gamer
on's hostility to him, he was abandoned
and Mr.. Randall was made the choice of
the delegation. In the first place the rela-
tions between Gov. Curtin and Mr.. Ran
dali are SO cordial that there was no
room for any such misunderstanding on
this subject, has been invented by the
newspaper correspondents. Again, Gov.
Curtin has only SO recently acknowl-
edged himself and been recognized as a
member of the Democratic party, that
he would not allow his name to be used
for 1. place SO prominent in the direction
Of the party organization, nor would he
likely be suggested for it. Cameron
would not likely object to any distinc-
tion for him as Democrat, as for years
it has been the aim of that clan to drive
him out of the Republican organization,
and weaken his influence in it by max
ing him avow his complete Democratic
affiliations. But, above all, there is not
a member of the Democratic delegation
from Pennsylvania ia who would be apt to
recognize Don Cameron's right to die
tate to him whom it should select as it's
representative; and any indication of
preference would very promptly operate
against his choice. 1t is altogether prob
able. therefore, as reported, that Mr..
Randall, the senior member of the dele
CATION, was the unanimous choice Of its
members, and he knew nothing about it
until the choice was made. Besides him
the most prominent members of the
committee are Gen. Rosecrans, of Cali
fornia; McLane, Of Maryland /; Cobb,
of Indiana; Morse, Of Massachusetts :;
Singleton, of Mississippi; Flower, Of
New York !; and Whitthorne, of Ten
nessee. From among these the chair
man is to be chosen, and, like as not, it
will be Mr.. Randall.

sPEAhER KEIFER.s ELECTION.
The Part Played BY Our :. quiet Old Quaker
Congressman"

The Part Played BY Our :. quiet Old Quaker
Congressman"
The New York Sun of yesterday has a
three column narrative, protesting to come
from an "insider," detailing the ring
influences which set up and accomplished
the election of Keifer to the speakership.
According to this story, little Of which is
new, the Pennsylvania delegation was for
Hiscock until Cameron was secured by the
Keifer syndicate and he in turn secured
the congressman from his state by liberal
bribes
Fifteen of the eighteen were pledged to
Hiscock even more strongly than Don
Cameron was. Don called conference.
1t was hardly love feast. Even allowing
the reported opposition Of the administra
ito to Hiscock to be true, and that Keifer
was favored candidate, several of the
delegation refused to yield except on the
| distinct understanding tht the Keifer men
should support Edward Mcpherson for
clerk Of the House. Don kicked like a
mule. Mcpherson had been a prominent
fugleman for Blaine in the revolt
against imperialism in the Key
stone state. Cameron was SO in
censed that he always spoke OF him con-
temptuously. He would not even lecog-
nize him Oh the streets. McPherson's s
friends, however, were obstinate. Don
was forced to give way. Keifer and his
managers were then invited to meet the
Pennsylvania delegation and arrange the
details of the surrender. They met at Don
naming Of the clerk, the de legation de-
O6oI ho o1,oir s},i IN Of
tee on ways and means, and of five other
Keifer personally pledged himself to carry
out the agreement, and the delegation
was formally surrendered to him.
1t has always been a subject of local
wonder how Herr Smiths aid was secured
for the Cameron plot, especially as the
outcome. showed that he got no desirable
place Oh the committees for it. The
San's correspondent relates the explana.
tion this way:
On the very threshold of success, how.
ever, the ringsters came very near over
reaching themselves. Everything in the
Pennsylvania delegation was as merry as
a marriage bell, when a. Herr Smith, a
quiet old Quaker Congressman from Ian
caster, tumblcd over a package of politi.
cal dynamite. He caught Cameror's
fugleman, Sam Barr, working like a
beaver against Ed. Mcpherson for clerk
of the House. The discovery created =
furious row. Half dozen of the Penn.
sylvania members held meeting at The
Ebbtt house, and threatened to bolt the
action of the whole delegation unless Don
called off his dog. Painter, Robson, and
the gang were alarmed. They saw Don
and after much solicitation he removed
the dynamite. The old Quaker and his
associates then meekly grounded their
arms and went into the caucus under the
! Cameron plaid.

THE prospect of much building dur
ing the coming summer is greatly im-
pared by the almost absolute certainty of
prevailing high prices for lumber. In
the eastern sections of the country, nota-
bly, in the lumber regions Of Pennsyl-
vania, the light snow did not afford the
lumbermen Shedding to get their logs to
the water. The lumber lands nearest to
the streams are well-nigh cut off and the
logs are dragged to the river side with
great difficulty unless there is sufficient
snow to slide them. Already extreme
war prices are being asked for lumber
In the West there is great shortage in
the cut, and the camps are breaking uI
after only about a two-thirds product.

Fell into II Sewer.

Last evening, between s and Q clock,
as DR.. A. Cattell, veterinary surgeon, was
driving on South Queen street, tho night
being very dark, his horse fell into deep
trench dug at the corner of South Queen
and Vine streets, which has been dug for
the purpose of laying private sewer from
the Swan hotel to the public sewer. The
horse got both its fore legs and one of it's
hind legs into the trench, and in this
position fell across a drain pipe
several feet below the surface. All
efforts to pull tho horse out proving ur-
availing, the bank was dug away so as to
allow the animal to get its other hind leg
into the trench, and then one end of the
trench was filled up with dirt, forming an
inclined plane out of which the poor beast
was enabled to walk. It was badly cut
on the legs aud so badly sprained that it
could scarcely walk to the stable. DR..
Cattell complains that the place was very
poorly lighted, there being but one sickly
lantern burning near the middle of the
street. Supposing that to be the point of
danger, DR.. Cattell pulled his horse off to
the right and went into the trench as
above stated.

Our COMPOSITE Nationality.

VuF composite N6tlOuAltys
There were an unusual number of pop
u!ar gatherings of national interest over
the country on Saturday, the varied
character of which, and the popular in
terest manifested in them amply Illus
trate our composite nationality. The
exiled Russian Jews have found hospi-
table welcome on these Western shores.
In Philadelphia, where large number
OF them are now quartered awaiting set
tlement il favorable localities, a very
large meeting of influential citizens was
held in their behalf. Men of all profess
sions and leading members of widely
differing religious sects were on the
platform together and among the
spokesmen, their voices blending in an
harmonious appeal for practical benev-
olence to the immigrants. In Brook
lyn meeting of the same religious faith
as the newcomers was held, and at it
there were foretellings of great Jewish
immigration about to set in to America
and the promise that they would be use
full husbandmen and exemplary citizens.
Our wide domain offers boundless op-
p0rtunity for those who come to till its
soil, and here, rather than among the
ruins of Jerusalem, the Jew may yet
find the union of his scattered people
and their promised land.
The anniversary of the birth Of Robert
Emmct, the gallant and ill-fated Irish pa
triot, furnished occasion for an outburst
Of Hibernian celebration, and in Boston,
Brooklyn and New York, the foremost
representatives of this nation, SO strong
in our citizenship. held meetings at
which men of distinction spoke and to
which some of the foremost Americans
sent letters of sympathy.
While these events were progressing
in the East and turning the eyes Of its
people toward the other side Of the At
lantic. on the Pacific slope there was
popular holiday to allow q hearing
for the almost unanimous protest
of the people against further toler-
ance of unrestricted Chinese i'm
migration. In the San Francisco meet
ing, participated in by leading men in
every department of business, and all the
Judges of the United States and state
courts -" resolutions were adopted urg-
ing the speedy legislation by Congress
pursuant to the terms of the recent treaty
with China. restricting and controlling
Chinese immigration. The contrast
afforded by these demonstrations is in
deed remarkable, and constitutes a curl
Gus commentary on the many elements
which are fused into this nationality of
ours and the many problems that have to
be solved before it becomes homoge-
neouS whole.

man, was passing along Grant street, he
saw the reflection Of light thrown against
Judge LivinsstOn's stable, which fronts
on Cherry alley. Being careful man he
walked up to the stable to find out what
caused the light, and saw that fire had
been kindled on the southwest corner of
4 frame stable, belonging to Lawrence
Knapp: directly opposite Livingston's s
stable. Picking up stick he pulled from
a hole in the corner of the stable a bundle
of cotton waste saturated with benzine or
some other inflammable fluid, and then
hastened to give the alarm to MIR. Knapp,
whose employees soon extinguished tho
flames.
The incendiary had thrust into the hole
in the stable, a quantity of pine wood and
showed the saturated cotton waste against
it aud lighted the match. Fortunately the
wood, which had been left lying there by
the carpenter who had been making re-
pairs on Saturday, was wet from the rain
which fell last evening, and did not readily
iguite but had it not been for Mr.. Black S
opportune arrival on the scene, and his
pulling away Of tho burning cotton waste,
destructive fire might have resulted In
the stable was one-seated phacton, a
two seated carriage, two sets of harness
and some other valuables. Adjoining the
stable is Bender's machine shop, and in
the immediate vicinity are Sensenig's,
