The Arbitrary Action of tho House 0f
Representatives in the Recent Contest.


Representatives in the Recent Contest.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAzETTEs The
recent action of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington in unseating one mem
Der and giving his seat to another should
not pass without protest.
The power OF either House of Congress to
examine into the election returns and the
qualifications of its members is unques-
toned. The power to refuse seat or un-
seat member when the election has been
unfair in any way follows as consequence
Of the first power. But this is the limit and
In no way, either in law, justice or common
sense does there arise a power to give the
vacant seat to another person. The whole
matter went to the State to be tried over
again.
Whoever holds the certificate of election
from the Governor Of State is the properly
accredited member, and to admit another
person without such certificate is entirely
irregular.
Under this recent ruling and action, II Is
evident that Congress would have the power
not of electing, but of selecting its mem-
bers and party once in power could
always stay there by ejecting a sufficient
number Of its opponents to keep them in a
political minority. This shows the absurdity
of the claim. 1t is one of those precedent
evolved from the crude brain of Tladle,is
Stevens, who did not pretend to act within
the law
Such action, If followed up, Is sufficiently
revolutionary to disturb business. Business
men everywhere should set their faces
against any men of any party who for mere
temporary gain would throw the country
into disorder. W. F. QUHIBY.

and Pennsylvania Visit Wilmington.
Last evening about 60 members of Excel
sior and Americas Conclaves, Heptasophs,
or Seven Wise Men, of Philadelphia, and
Star of Bethlehem Conclavc of Camden, N.
j., arrived in this city. Ten members of the
order from Baltimore accompanied the
party, which was headed by the Americus
Band of Philadelphia. They proceeded at
once to the room Of Friendship Conclave,
whose guests they were. After speeches by
a number of the visitors and members OF
Friendship Conclave, lunch was served,
and the party left for home at 2 o'clock this
morning.
The visitors were marshaled by p. s. Rep.
f. w. Woolverton of New Jersey. Among
the prominent officials present were Robert
Gillespie, supreme archon, and John Crote,
grand inspector general, of Baltimore; II.
Peterson, supreme chancellor, of Philadel-
phia, and William f. Harrison, supreme
ephor, of this city
The visit was satisfactory to all and before

unable to make satisfactory arrangements
with the railroad company, which accounted

PARIS, June lin the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day, NJ de Freycinet defended the
resort to European concert. He declared
any other course must lead to adventures.
The idea of French military intervention in
Egypt had no place whatever in the govern

concert France had accepted The duties
which the decisions of Europe might entail.
An order of the day, expressing confidence
in the Government, was adopted by vote

An Inset.

While the Friendship Engine Company
were trying their steamer at Tenth and
Market streets last evening two young men
came along in a buggy. Their horse took
fright, whereupon the driver declared that
the animal would "face that engine or
bust" and endeavored to urge the beast on.
The thoroughly scared horse plunged and
backed, running against an awning post,
tearing a wheel from the carriage and land
ing the young men in the street. No serious
damage was done to the men.

LAMDEN'S LETTER.
A Statement That it Was Written by Har-
ringtOn and Fisher, and in Dover.

ringtOn and Fisher, and in Dover.
Occasional correspondence of the Gazette.1
DOVER, May 31.-The coterie of Republi-
can politicians of Dover who control the Re-
publican party in Wilmington and named
the Postmaster and candidate for Mayor,
are also endeavoring to boss the politics of
Sussex county. The medium through
which they work in Sussex county is no
other than the notorious Bob Lamden, IL
boiling sucker, who after getting all he
could out of the Democratic party, has sold
his body and soul TO the Republicans, and
the Morning News says he twill be remem-
bered." ''Another letter from Bob Lamden,"
such was the cry sounded by the Ne,ns' boy
while selling the paper through the streets
this morning. His claim that Sussex county
will give the Republicans 725 majority, con-
clusively shows what fool he is. But who
writes these lettersl Does Bob Lambden
write them himself, or is he the willing tool
to subscribe his name to what somebody
else writes Let us state fact. The day
preceding the publication of the first letter
from Lambden, the aforesaid Lambden
was in Dover in constant COM
pany with Dick Harrington, George
p. Fisher and Beniah Watson. The letter
was dated that very day as from Laurel. In
order that the letter could be published in
the next mornings Ners it would have been
necessary for the letter to have been sent
from here at least by the O'Clock p. M.
train, yet Lamden has the letter dated from
Laurel, from which point after his arrival
home, the letter could not have reached
Wilmington in time to have been published
next day In short, he had letter in the
News dated from Laurel when he was in
Dover all day and the natural conclusion is
that the letter was penned here and written
as dictated by either Fisher or Harrington.
If not why did he come to Dover to write
letter from Laurel

THE GBEAr STRIKE.
Thousands of Idle Men in the Western
Iron Districts-Trxtent Of the Troubles,

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 2-At midnight
last night the lockout began in this city as
well as at other points, and to-day an army
of the unemployed were seen upon the
streets. The exact number of these idlers
cannot be given, of course; but taking in
1900 members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation as basis, the total can be reached
approximately. Including such labor as
depends upon the puddlers and other depart
ments of the mills concerned, and adding
the army of helpers and heaters and coal
miners and ore laborers and the flremen and
other diggers, the grand total will not be
far from 1000 in this city and vicinity.
The situation at present may be summed
up in few words. Both sides show deter
mined fronts. the manufacturers insisting
that at no former lockout was there such de-
termined opposition to the demands of the
Amalgamated Association, and the latter in
sisting that already signs Of yielding are evi-
dent among millowners, and that the lock
out will not last over two or three weeks at
the farthest.

plOyes of the railroads centering here con-
