Tho Adjoining pennsylvanIa District


Our Pennsylvania neighbors have a
somewhat serious time discussing the Con.
grsssional question, with reference to the
successorship to Mr.. ShaIlenberger, their
present Representative, There seems to
be divided sentiment as to whether he
should be his own successor, or whether
the doctrine OF rotation, that seems to have
prevailed as a political tradition in the dis
triCt, should still be followed. There is no
charge Of dereIiction OF duty against Mr.. S.
nor Of lack OF good ability, but it seems
that he is in his third term, aud three
terms are rs much as any man or any
county in the district is entitled 10. There
fore he should retire and let some other
man from someo other county have chance.
We met Mr.. shallenberger recently at
the Wool Growers meeting in New York,
and afterwards in the Tariff Convention,
and we take this occasion to say to our
Pennsylvania neighbors that We formed a
high opinion of the good sense as well as
the good speaking ability Of their repre-
sentative. He certainly understands and
is fully alive to the interests Of his constit-
uents, and moreover he is a man of excel
lent character, and now that he has &c
quired experience in Congress We do not
exactly see why his constituents, outside CT
the lists of aspirants, should desire a
change. We presume the chsnge is mostly
wanted by said aspirants and their friends.
The people ct Urge a.e not supposed to de-
sire it simply because he has had three
terms. II he is faithful to his people and
able to represent them creditably, which is
not denied, how are the public OF the three
counties comprising the district TO be ben
Gifted by dropping him and taking up q
new man?
There is something childish about this
talk in regard to a particular county in a
district being entitled to the candidate. 1t
is notorious that members OF Congress, ex-
cept.perhapsast to the procurement Of places
at Washington for personal friends, have
no partialities as regards the counties COM
posing their district. Their ambition and
their interest are to spread themselves over
the whole district as thickIy and Intimate.
" rs possible. For instance, our distin.
guished friend, Col. Ben Wilson, will wear
out his shoe leather running after aims at
the departments for an Ohio county
man just as freely rs for Harrison county
man. And when he visits this part OF bis
district and gazes upon the industrial pur
suits Of the people he tumbles Us promptly
to the tariff US il he had been brought up

Richmond special says: The democrats
in the Virginia legislature are endeav-
oring to avoid the issue made in the
Riddelberger bill appropriating $780,
600 for the erection and maintenance
of a colored normal school. The dem
cratic leaders in the state senate have
offered a substitute proposing the
maintenance of normal school for both
races in order to make the read
~iusters appear to vote against white
schools. The readjusters have de-
termined to give the amount proposed
in the Riddelberger bill to the colored
normal school, which will be the only
one Of this kind in the state. The bill
will pass.

New York, Jan. lS-The Sun pub
fishes the following information from
Rome: In spite Of all the denials by
official organs Of the English govern

has really turned to the Vatican, asking
help in the Irish question. He would
make almost any concession to persuade
the pope to send secret agents to Ire.
land to pacify the country and TO d.
rect the influence Of the clergy to that
end. The mission of Mr.. Errington
has not been successful thus far. The
pope is not willing to supply spiritual
constabulary for the furtherance OF
Giadstone's purposes. Leo XIII Is
only too anxious to have English am.
bassadors accredited to the holy see,
and anxious, more than anxious, than
any English bishop is supposed to be
for the establishment of a Roman nuncic
at London, but be sure that he is moi
so simple or 80 easily managed as tc

to-day.
Governor Ordway Of Dakota, now

of the navy to transmit the report Of
Capt. L. A. Beardslee, relative to af-
fairs in Alaska and the operations Of

Of that territory.
1t is said that Folger will succeed
Hunt on the supreme bench and Conk-
ling will go into the cabinet as secre-
tary of the treasury. Dayis' action in
the Hunt matter is thus explained by
many, that Folger's experience in the
treasury department has been unpleas-
ant and his work hard.
