EDITORIAL NOTES.

Is one respect the Democratic party in
the House resembles q person who has
Just been turned Off" by the hangman
1t hasn't any ground to stand on.
IT speaks we'll for the law-abiding spirit
of the people of Lancaster, Pa, that they
did not forthwith "string up" the man
who was caught in the act of setting fire
to a frame building in that city.
WHEN you find man who gets two
dollars worth of work for every dollar
that he pays for work you may safely bet
your last cent that you have found loud
and obtrusive champion Of the rights OF
labor.
THE liveliest political circus of the
season will be the misunderstanding du-
plex arrangement in the second Missis-
sippi district. For every blow that Mr..
Chalmers may deliver on the brazen front
of Bourbonism-and he knows how to hit
eflectually-he will have the thanks of
Republicans.
THE English papers speak Of hale and
hearty widow ofnlnety- eight winters who
has successively mourned the demise of
eight husbands, all of whom were sea-far-
ing men born in the town of Epson. This
venerable dame should be an authority
in the matter Of Epson salts, having
buried so many ofthcm.
If true goodness may be developed in
a statesman by disappointment in the
disposal of four offices, how many such
aililiative dispensations would be re-
qured TO produce entire sanctifcati ton?
An algebraic formula for the solution OF
this class Of problems would be valuable
acquisition, almost tantamount to boon

March On!

The determination Of the majority of
the House of Representative to exercise
Its constitutional power, and perform its
constitutional duty of judging of the
qualification, election, and return of its
own members brought forth fruit yester-
day in the admission and swearing
in of Mr.. DIackey, of South
Carolina, and the exclusion of Mr..
Dibble from the seat usurped by
him. The next case in order is that
of Mr.. Bisbee, of Florida, whose seat is
now held by Mr.. Finley. Every anti
Bourbon member will realize the import
ance of being in his place promptly this
morning as soon as the House is called to
order 1t is n waste of time for few
Btragglers to leave room for filibus-
tering on the journal. The whole
country is keenly interested in the
proc eedings, and absentees will find
themselves conspicuous objects of obser.
vation and criticism. Let not a good
record be marred by inattention. The
work in hand is too important to suffer
ny the Neglect of any man.

IFMr, Reed can, by rule, throttle all effective
opposition in the Mackey-DibOle matter, why
should not Mr.. RObeson in his turn, be given

mality ofa yea and nay voter Washington Post
Or, on the other hand, if Mr.. Randall
can, by alternate motions to adjourn and
to take a recess, and the ordering of

one-tilth Of the members, throttle all
effective support of the right of member
to his scat, why should not Mr.. Dibble,
in his turn, resort to the same means to

any other business TO be done than the
calling Of the ayes and noes on motions TO
adjourn and take a recess? Win some

show the country how sixty-one members
Of the House may perpetually nullify
every grant Of power to Congress by con-
filming the business of that body TO calling

"He is Reported to Have Said"

" Eic is ltcpOftcu 10 I1tNc oulu.
The New York Tribune has in its en-
ploy many grades of malignants, but per-
haps the most artistic of them all is the
fellow who always prefaces an especially
mischievous falsehood about an individ-
ual with the words: :" He is reported to
have said" 1t is the 7ribunc'S mission
and purpose to poison the public mind
with false information, and then to try
and utilize the inflammation thus pro-
duced. Its satanic instincts glow on
every page, and its eulogy Of sneaks is
only surpassed by its vituperation of
men. Yesterday it gave an account of
the Presidents reception at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York. Ex-Sena-
tor Conkling was there, and the
reporter represents him rs chattcring
"to a well-known Democrat as to the
Republican gubernatorial nomination.
The placid and calm manner in which this
silly stuff is written would convey to
the casual, as to the unsophisticated
reader, that the reporter had really heard
the story he was relating. But he
snatchcs grace beyond the reach of art
when, with affected unconcern, he thus
concludes:
In further conversation he is reported to have
said Uneauing Mr.. Conkling): "If the Demo-
crats nominate good man l think they will stand
good chance of electing him this year."
The satisfied smrk of the cat which
had just swallowed the canary could not
have eXceede d in expressivenesst the face
of this man after discharging the above
drop of vitriol in Mr.. Conkling's face.
Those who know that gentleman
well assure us that if he had any secrets
TO divulge which he thought would in
terest the public he would not button
hole personal enemy of either party,
and pour them into that individuals ear.
Nor would he request that any informa-
ton from him be communicated to n
mud-thrower in the Office Of the New
York Tribune. We should even doubt
that journals authority to speak of his
opinions. How noble it is in the Tribune
not to name its informant. Mr.. Conkling
sis reported to have said" This was
sin further conversation" and not
necessarily with the well-known
Democrat" lie may have been talking
TO the lrtbuRc's own confidence man, or to
one of the walters at his hotel or to his
bootblaclS, or to a chimney-sweep. Or
perhaps he did not talk at al. Indeed
the 1rjbune'S statement that he did would
convince any respectable jury that he did
not. The story is undoubtedly mali
cious invention by somebody, and there is
no place in which it could have been SO
appropriately told as in the mendacious
Tribune.

Hon. J. Proctor Knott, OF Kentucky, president
of the Louisville Water Power and Canal Company,
and Colonel s, Taylor Suit, Of Maryland, vice.
president Of same company, returned few days
ago from an extended trip to New England, where
they had been investigating water powers. A re-
cent charter granted the above company the right
10 build a canal through the city OF Louisville and
to Isc the water OF the OHIO River for navigation
and wator power. IL is claimed that the iall OF
water around the falls at Louisville Is some thirty
feet aud that the supply is continuous aud mex

Tho Lie about Senator Cameron.


Senator Don Cameron said recently to
some manufacturers that if the State of
Pennsylvania should be thrown into the
hands of the Democracy "he could stand
it rs well as any other manufacturer, he
being as largely interested in protection
as any of them" He did not say that he
would oppose his own interests, or stultify
his record, or abandon his opinions, in
retaliation for the detection of some Re-
puhlicans from their party. lie indulged
in no threats on the tariff or any other
question. This is his statement to Penn
sylvania Republican Congressman. OF
course, those who manufactured the orig
inal falsehood which has been thus re-
futed will continue to repeat it just the
same,
"For It's their nature to-"
at is good enough Morgan till after
election" and will do duty as the star lie
of the campaign.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania have
no question to decide at this time con-
cerning Senator Cameron. They have
only to decide whether their party shall
live or be destroyed. Their candidates
are unexceptonable men. Cameron
probably could not have beaten Beaver
for the gubernatorial nomination if he
had been opposed to him. The course
of Senator Mitchell is doubtless nearly a
fuliillment of the contract under which
the Wolfe boilers allowed him to come
to the Senate. He probably had no
option. He waited long time for a
reason to raise the standard of revolt,
but none being given him, he rebelled
without cause or pretext. Tho office
seekers who compose his following re-
belled for the sake of rebellion. The
engineers of the Independent move
ment in Pennsylvania do not re-
side in that State. 1t is but n
piece of general scheme for the
disruption Of the Republican party. The
deadliest enemies the party has are men
who have failed to rule it, and who are
determined on its destruction. 1t cannot
live if they can kill it, The sooner they
are openly denounced'the less harm they
will be able to do. The way to unearth
them is for the Republican State com
mittee of Pennsylvania to come here and
confer with representative Republicans
and ascertain by their conversation who
Senator Mitchell referred to when he
said that his factional warfare had the
support of "some of the best men in the
Republican ranks at Washington" The
Republican party of the country should
be warned against all who now refuse to
fight its battles.

citation TO save It's members from loss by reason of
changes In the export trade. The amount raised
was S720 900, aud IL was divided up among firms in
the association He produced the books showing
the firms paid and the amount to each.
His association was not directly Interested
in The Carlisle bill. They had favored a
reduction of the whisky tax in order to
help maintain the tariff. Mr. Cockrell asked him
IL they had any understanding with the tariff linen.
"They [the tariff menl scduced us and then Tilted
u.s." was the reply. The point TO Mr.. Mller's tcst-
mony was that his association had not raised any
money to influence legislation, nor did he know
of amy being raised or expended for that purpose.
Edwin Stevens Of Cincinnati, treasurer Of the
National Dstillers' and Spirit Dealers Association
was the next witness. His association numbered
five or six hundred members, aud was organized
