A great deal OF fault Is found with
Speaker Keiter's appointment. Of the
House committees by members OF his
own party. The Democrats also are
having something to say with regard to
the matter. The Reading (Pa.) Ns,es
says that In 4 House so evenly divided
as the present U no Speaker With o
particle Of regard for his reputation or
the slighies. sense OF his grave respon-
ability would have formed an elections
committee. before which over forty o n
tested cases mast go. with but one
Democrat on it to twelve Republicans,
and yet this is precisely what Mr.. Ksifsr
has done. Mr.. Keller has certainly dis-
graced himself by such a committee.
and nothing that he can urge in his de-
Tense will justify him.

This toiy is opposed to po'ygamy, and

ten thousand converts have already been
brought over to their views. AS polys-

WebsteP's Presence.

In the speaking of Webster this was
very noticeable. His personal presence
WAS SO remarkable, the figure and mielI
SD Olympian, the cleaning of the eyes in
the dusk Of the swarthy and projecting
brow so wisrd, and the whole impressions
80 imperial, that it Was impossible tu
suppose that what was said would not
be AS weighty, majestic, and memorable
rs the speech of such a man ought to be.
That it was always 80 was not the fact.
but the grand aspect and manner were
so OverpOwering that it was impOssibld
not to recall the majestic again ami
again. and to believe that you had heard
4 great speech. In the famous Wymam
case, when Mr.. Webster was associated
with Mr.. ChOate. he WAS suffering witA
his annual catarrh, and his OvereOat WAS
buttOned closely around him, and he con-
stantly used huge red bandana hand
kerchief-Ohe of the eight, perhaps.
which he said friend similarly affected
"teok" for remedy-and his voice w4s
hOarse, and he seemed to be half sHrly;
but lie produced the same unQGestiona-
bic effect of power as when he stood in
his blue and buff Whig uniform in the
Senate on ono Of his great field-days. At
another time he WAS announced To de-
liver a lycenm lecture. The audience
was immense. The expectation was very
great. But his discourse was prolsng-
ed commonplace essay. absolutely unre
lieved by any felicity of phrase or strik-
ing thought, and it seemed as if con-
sciOusness of the character of his dis
course made him more majestic than
ever. His port was magnificent. The
greatest of orators pleading sublimVly
for his country in the very crisis OF her
fate could not have had the air of saying
momentOus and solemn truths mern
completely than Webster upon this Occa-
sion when he was saying nothing ia
particular. Probably the great audiences
felt that they had never more fully rr-
ceived the worth of their money, and de-
scribe to their children and grand chill
dren the imperial grandeur of Webster
as an Orator.-kE Editors Easy Chair. in

PendletOn on Railroads.

Senator Pendletsn denounces the Re-
publican party because it has so allowed
monepolies to flourish that they have
eaten ont the substance of pro-
ducers by exorbitant freights." Now
the hOnoroble Senator has had experience
in railroad management, as the annals
of a Democratic Congressional investi-
eating committee fully set forth, and he
should have known better than to talk
such nonsense. Let us examine his
statement by the light of the facts. In
1855 the Pennsylvania railroad received
two and three-quarters cents per ton per
mile on freight, while in 1881 it received
eight -tenths of cent per ton per mile,
and this reduction of rates saved to the
shippers by that line alone the neat sum
os $62,394,743. In 1855 the charage for
moving ton of wheat from Chicago to
New York was $3.50, or 95c. per bushel.
In 1881 the charge for the same was
1851, or less than 25c. per bushel. Esti-
mating the charge on wheat in bulk
from Chicago to New York, and it was
in 1881 not much above twelve cents
per bushel. 1t is difficult to see how
this action can be called "eating out the
substance of producers" Senator Pen
dleton ought surely to be able to rise
above the level of the demagOgue when
he undertakes to enlighten his fellow
citizens on questions of great public
importance.-O.S S. Journal.
