Mr.. KassOn moved to 90 into Committee of the
Whole for the consideration OF the tariff commits
sion bill.
Mr. Valentine antagonizcd this with the agri-
cultural appropriation bill and raised the point of
order that the tnrlH bin was not q privileged
question under the rules.
Mr.. Ensson stated that for two weeks the COM
mlttec on Ways and Means had yielded to the
Committee on Appropriations; but he thought
that the bill of which he had charge wns much
more important. In respect to the time Of its pas
sage, than the agricultural bill.

order, and ruled that the bill for the appointment
of u tariff commission had not precedence under
the rules to consideration at the present time.
The agricultural appropriation bill was then
taken up for consideration, Mr.. KaSson stating
that though he would not now antagonize that
bill, he would, when its consideration WAS com

were wrong; if he were to decide that
no man ought to be appointed to Office
whose support could not be counted on
for him in 1884; ifhe were to assume the
hostility ofcertain men and open quar-
rel with them on the ground that if he
did not begin it they would if he should
use the Democrats in the Senate TO make
up an Administration party, from which
Republican Senators were TO be excluded |;
if he should issue letters Of marque to po-
litical and journalistic buccaneers to
sail the political seas and do all possible
harm to the unarmed vessels of those
they either envied or hated if, in short,
he would wage such war upon Republi-
cans who opposed Grants nomination in
1880 as some of these year ago wanted
to see wagcd on those who favored that
nomination, there would be no lack of
aCtivity-no calm in politics.
But what Stalwart Republican would
give his voice for such policy2 II is the
glory of General Arthur's Administration
thus far that it has not sought to aggran-
die any set of men in the party. II would
be nmistako if greedy factionists who
hate the President were made strong by
too generous an estimate of their charac-
ter, or too absolute immunity from obser-
vation. There is great repression of feel
ing just now among elements of deep an
tagonisms. Let us hope that much of
this feeling may yield to time and to calm
judgment. The President is generous and
wise to ignore old factonal differences
between Republicans, but it is the part
of wisdom also to observe with care those
opponents who are not equally generous
and whose antecedents teach that they
crouch but TO spring.
The present political calm has II healthy
basis. The President is simply attending
to the public business The country and
the Republican party best thrive on re-
pose.

be on the subject Of the grant TO n member Of the
royal family on his marriage. The guard attend

room to the railway carriage Is simply single file,
and the proximity Of any Of her subjects Is 80
close that he can reach over their shoulders ana
touch Her Maiesty's garments. 1 do not know
how a hang.dog countenance might be regarded
by the guard which is placed on the line to pre-
vent her being interrupted by jealous loyaists
ever anxious to greet aud yoclferously welcome
her presence. The grant TO the royal offspring Is
o time honored custom, and desorvcdly so since
the sovereign, on an occasion of great national
distress from the dearth of employment and the
failure ofthc crops, relinqushed their hereditary
family property to aid the nation in its dire ext
gcncy. The formal application for the usual
grant would follow the marriage, whether the as.

RGfrin the Police Court yesterday with being an
unlicensed commercial agent Mr.. Rar testified to
finding the defendant soliciting orders for n spring
mattress last Tuesday. Mr.. Lambert appeared for
the defendant and held that his client was not
Hmenable TO the law because he only exhibited
the mattresses and furnished parties with one for
Il week for trial, and If they decide to buy one he
does not furnish the purchaser with the article or
receive the price, which Is done by another person.
The court said that the selling and offering for
sale were separate branches and any one con-
neced with either branch Is acting In violation Of
the law, and 1t was clearly shown that the defend
ant offered for sale these goods, and he would have
to impose fine of SOS or sixty days. An appeal
was noted and bonds fixed at 800.

that the reason why the increase of
Asiatics in this country is moderate is
because of the collisions which seem in

which the Federal Government views

not be left to regulate Chinese immigra-

consequences of an increased immigra-

TO alarm them, even in the absence of
any unlawful demonstration, Those
