State Superintendent H1GBEE will be

There's heap of eloquence in ]. W.

State Senator Cooper has appointed N.
S. Quay chairman Of the committee Of five
Stalwarts to confer with the committee of
five Independents, with view of settling
the difficulties in the party, and fixed, in
compliance with request from Mr.. Wolfe,
Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, at the
Continental hotel, as the time and place Of
meeting.
sAda'' writes from Washington to the
Pittsburg Dispatch as follow: very few
of the Pennsylvania members wives have
gone away as yet, and it. is probable that
the majority of them will remain with their
husbands until the close of the session.
Mrs. DANIEL ERMENTROUT's house, on
Capitol Hill, is such delightful summer
residence that she will scarcely be tempted
to return to Reading before the close OF
the season, even if it should extend into
the heat of June. Mrs. Emertrout is one
of the most entertaining women whom
have over met, and her sprightliness and
intelligence in conversation would make
her attractive oven without her pleasing
personnel."
Somebody puts the Times up to calling
him MARRIOTT BRosIUs," and it
viciously speaks of Judge Livingston as
"an ornamental candidate for supreme
Judge" who is simply smiled at " by
tho bosses utilizing " his honest and par.
donable ambition, by getting an ostensiblc
Livingston delegate where they can't get
square-toed boss delegate, and they
support Brosius, tho expressly requested
candidate of Judge Livingston, hoping
thereby to gain one vote for the machine
slate at Harrisburg" And "Mr. Brosius
is worthy gentleman, but if he doesn't
know that both he and Judge Livingston
are to be used as foils for the bosses, he
ought to be beaten as simpleton, and if
he does know the truth, he ought to be
beaten as political knave" This seems
to call for card from Brosius, Livingston
and the bosses.
When GARFIELD sent for FOLGER to in
duce him to 20 into the cabinet, Folger
who foresaw the quarrel with Conkling,
made every possible excuse to decline ac.
ceptance of the offer. "To tell you the
truth, :" he said to Gen. Garfield, "I'm moi
in sympathy with your end of tho party
"Tm in sympathy with all the party-botl
ends--judge," was tho response. "But
Pm an old FREQ trade Democrat in views, >
persisted tho judge. "I don't believe the
present tariff can stand or ought to stand. y
81 am something of free trader myself
judge" said General Garfield. "Im OF
record Oh that. I'm one Of the few mem
bers in America of tho Golden club.
realize that tho war tariff will have to bt
greatly modified" "Then, too. I'm no
much of national bank man." despair
ingly put in tue judge. "Neither am 1
My views on those subjects arc very de
termined," said Gen. Garfield. "Be
Sides" interposcd Mr.. Folger, "I'm not :
strict party man. I'm given to having m,
own way. Pm good deal of STATE
rights man. My old Democratic tempe
has boiled over more than once because O
the extent to which the central govern
ment has interfered with the states ant
also to civil service reform -" Why, 70,
and agree on those things exactly,
broke in Gen. Garfield, slapping judy
FOlger on the knee, and nearing him as j
he was going to kiss him. Tho judge i
reported to have said that Gen. Garfield
was the most unanimous man he had me
in the whole course of his life.
