The fact that Bourbons in the South
are habitually addicted to election frauds
is n less serious matter than the other fact
that the entire Democratic party, as rep
resented in Congress, is fully committed
to the encouragement and support of that
sort of rascality.

TIE vulgar impression that Great
Britain is ruled through ministry re-
sponsible through the Commons to the
people is brushed aside by our morning
contemporary. 1t seems that the Queen
is the actual ruler of her domain! And
yet it was only two or three years ago
that the Commons hauled Her Majesty
over the Goals very roughly for having
ventured to send an unimportant letter
to the Viceroy of Indian without having
first submitted it to the ministry. The
simple truth is that the throne of Eng
land is a mere shadow, the Queen costly
and dignifed figure-head, with far less
power than is exercised by every Presi-
dent of the United States who Vetoes a
bill.

JOHN PAUL's speech in the House has
made just such an impression upon the
country as may always be expected when
intelligent and truthful statements elo-
quently made meet a tide of calumny.
1t was just so during the debates last year
that made Malone forever famous. Paul
has overthrown the reckless accusers of
Virginian honor in the House just as
Malone did the laundering Bourbon
Senators. Neither dreamed that while
they were falsely accusing the Read
justers Of reputation they were
Courting exposure of tho shameless
financial history of their own States,
The thoughtless South Carolinian who
shouted "Repudiation at John Paul
know no more of the pitfall he had pre-
pared for himself than did Ben Hill
when he assailed Malone year ago last
spring. TO see such brave defiance of
Bourbons in Congress rs these Virginians
display gives hope to the country that
sectional leadership has had its day. No
Southern man can read John Pauls
withering arraignment Of the blindness,
the lnsincerity and treachery to South
ern interests Of the Bourbon leaders
without reaching the conclusion that the
Virginians deserve lasting gratitude fol
blazing the way for the diyorcement Of
the South from political alliance which
brings only paralysis and death to that
section. The House Of Representatives
hereafter will be sure to give John Pau
an attentive audience, for he has fairly
won his spurs upon his first field in Con
gress. The Virginians will award him
unstinted honor for his vindication oi
their truth and manhood.

Some Conundrums.

The New York Tribune is doing its best
for the Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
OF course there is no pretense that the
boilers can elect their candidates. Whose
organ isthe Tribune? For whom does it
always split its brazen throat? What is
the Democratic party going to do for the
HiLunes powerful friends in exchange for
its present services? Has the Tribune
contracted to fight with the Democracy
in New York rs well rs in Pennsylvania
How many Republicans can it take into
the Democratic ranks? As many as it
did in 1872? Have certain great interests
from whose veins the Tribune has of late
years drawn so much nourishment formed
an alliance with the Democratic party ?
Have they agreed to transfer their lobby
lists, high and low, to the service of the
Democracy? Is the Tribune under their
orders? Are they to name pres-
dental candidate for the Demo-
cratic party? VIII he be q man of
Democratic or of Republican ante
cedents? Is the Tribune wolf in sleeps
clothing, or n sheep in VOLTS clothing ?
Do it's antecedents entitle it to public
confidence? If it really should go upon
the town again, as it did in 1872, would
it still be respectable? Will Democracy
cease TO be Objectionable if Mr.. Reid
withdraws his objections to it? If the
TTJune'S hostility to the Republican party
cannot be overcome by persuasion would
it be proper for Republicans to oppose
the Trib,meS opposition? There arc four
or five other newspapers which are
likely to oppose the further existence OF
the Republican party will it be
wise for the party to insist upon
going on if these puissant editors
command it to stop? These are ques-
tions that may have to be answered this
summer, and timid souls had better be-
gin to consider them. If the time has
come for the Bourbons to be reformed
into power, let political nondescripts
mount their Reform hobby-horses, and
charge upon the ranks of the wicked Re-
publicans.

The Pacific RaiIxyaya.

The senate committee on railways has re-
ferred all the bills in regard to the consolida-
tion of Pacific railways, to subcommittee
consisting of Senators Sawyer, Saunders, Will
liams, Brown and Sewell, with instructions to
prepare bill authorizing such consolidation.
One point under discussion this morning and
upon which the committee We're agreed, is
that the government, in the event of such con-
solidation bill, reverse tho right to fix the
maximum rate to be charged by the road for
passenger and freight transportation. The
bill will also contain provision forbidding
the consolidation Of parallel or competing
lines of railway between the Pacific ocean and
ports on the Gulf of Mexico or Mississippi
river, and further proviso as a condition
precedent to consolidation, that the assent of
the stockholders representing not less than
three-fourths of the amount of stock, shall be
obtained

lieutenant Master G. G. Calkins, of Ohio, ia
be lieutenant Ensign David Daniels, OF
Massachusetts, to be master; Third Lieut.

THEY Will GO HOME.
And Leave Phantom Committees to Toll,
II They Toll at All.

The two hardest worked committees of the
house-'ways and means and appropriations
announce their intention to sit during tho
holidays, but they may think better of it, as
the house. The statement should be taken
with salt, at Jeast, in view Of the fact that
these committees have done good amount Of
work already, and the further fact that in
dividual members intend to be at home dur
ing the holidays-or, at least, enough of them
to prevent aquorum. OF the ways and means
Mr. Dunnell will go to Minnesota on political
business, MIR. Mckinley will go to Ohio on pri
vate business, Mr.. Hubbell will go to Michigan
on political business, Mr.. Russell, who voted for
adjournment, probably intends to go home to
Massachusetts,, while Tucker, Carlisle, and
Morrison, who naturally want nothing done
with the tariff, will not be likely to stay here
for the sake of hurrying work they would pre-
fer should not be done at all. This would
leave only six-not quorum; but we must
take the committees word for it that it will
sit every day next week until we see how it
holds out. This committee has been in ses-
sion more than half the days of congress-
since its meeting on the fourth of December,
and has accomplished all that can be done (aside
from its work on the tariff commissions re-
port, upon which il is at work. until congress
shall get through with the appropriation bills
and decide to take hold of revenue matters.
OF the committee on appropriations it may
be said that it is already sufficiently ahead of
the house to permit it holiday without
danger of being overtalSen or even pressed.
Blackburn, of this committee, has already
gone to his Kentucky home, and it is said
that Hiscock, Robeson, Cannon, Burrows
Butterworth, Atkins, lie Fevre and Ellis will
leave on or before Friday for their homes.
This would knock the appropriations COM
mittee to pieces pretty ba A : and one is justi-
fed in suspecting that it WI not meet during
the festivities of adjournment.
There is a small percentage Of opinion that
the senate will not concur in the holiday ad-
journment resolution, but it comes from an
underwhelming minority

found incapacitated for active service, by rea-
son of color blindness, has been wholly retired
from the service with one years pay, to take

has been accepted to take effect at once.

DANGEROUS Indians,

A report from Lieut.. Read to the secretary
of war, which has been forwarded to tho In
terror department, says with regard to the
band of Montana Indians from whom large
amount of stolen property was recovered by
two sergeants and two scouts of tho his com
mand on the cd instant, that these Indians
are furnished arms, ammunition, and whisky
in unlimited quantities at Norris's place, thirty
miles above Dry Fort, and because of the
close proximity of white hunters to the In
dian camp he apprehends trouble.

The Tariff on ConI.

Senators German, of Maryland, and Davis,
of West Virginia, were accorded hearing by
the finance committee of the senate yesterday
in opposition to a reduction of the duty upon
impOrtations of bituminous coal as proposed
by the tariff commission. The arguments ad-
vanced were that the present duty is barely
sufficient to protect our own products, and
that any reduction would inure TO the benefit
of foreign capitalists and would seriously
damage the mining industries of this country.
