THE vigorous efforts that are being
made by the Republican bosses of Phil
adelphia to re-elect the notorious Billy
McMullin to the board of Select Conncil
in that city illustrate more than any
thing else the utter rottenness of Phila-
delphia politics, and reveal in their true
colors the kind of men who, when the
political caUldron bUils, have heretofore
tlOated to the surface in the manage
ment OF her municipal affairs. AS the
decent Democrats in McMullin's own
ward. 1.-THE bloody Fourth. - as it is ia
miliarly called, have spewed him out of
their mouths, the bosses have come to
his rescue, simply because his vote in
council can always be depended on to
sanction their corrupt and plundering
schemes to rob The taxpayers of the city.
The struggle at the election on next
Tuesday week between the bosses to per-
petuate their power IN the city conncils,
and the friends of honesty and reform in
the city government to get possession
/ of them, will be fought to the bitter end
At an immense reform meeting held in
/ that city on last Saturday night under
the auspices of the well known commit

that the coming contest would decide
whether the taxpayers Of Philadelphia

SELDOM has greater horror or n more in
eXcusable one ever visited New York than
the fire which on Tuesday night of last week
destroyed the old World building and desc
lated several happy homes. The building
caught apparently, in the lower story, close
to the elevator, and in few moments the
merciess flames were transmitted to every
one of the five stories, the elevator acting az
an immense stove and giving intensity to
the fire. Several hundred men and woman
were employed in the building, but most of
them fortunate " escaped Six persons
were killed. Two of them jumped from the
fifth story and had their brains dashed out
other four were consumed with the building.
There IS some doubt as TO the whereabouts
OF three or four other persons and the num-
her Of dead may vet be increased. A num-

THE House Of Representatives on
Monday last. under the suspension Of the
rules and without debate, passed a bill
which provides that no person who is
guilty OF bigamv or polygamy shall be
eligible to a seat in Congress as a dele
gate from any Territory. q great many
members were primed with carefully
prepared speeches in favor Of the bill,
but its quick and quiet passage knocked
the talk completely out of them, and
prevented the steady flow of pent-up
stream Of impassioRed eloquence for
buncOmbp, or home consumption. Now
that Congress has embarked in the vir-
the and morality business and aimed a
blow at Mormonism, let it be followed
by declaration that no person ought to
be admitted TO a seat in Congress who
is in favor OF repudiating a part Of a

J. r. LOCKE ON IRISH LANDIORDs.-Since
his return from his travels through great
portion Of Ireland, Mr., Locke, Of the Toledo
Blade, an eloquent extract from one Of whose
letters we published a short time ago, has de-
Hvered several addresses on the Irish cause
in various sections of the country, He ap-
peared before an audience in Boston on last
Sunday week, and gave a graphic description
Of the hardships he had himself witnessed
among the Irish tenants. Of the curse of
Irish landlOrdism he said
What is landlordism It IS condensed
villainy. It is the verv top and summit of
oppression, cruelty and horror. IT was con-
ceived in lust and greed, born of fraud and
perpetuated by force. Tt does not recognize
wOmanhOOd, manhood or childhood It's cold
hand is upon every cradle of Ireland It's
victims are the millions of people in Ireland
who cannot get away, and the Instruments
used to hold them are bavOnets and cart
ridges Irish landlordism is legal brigandace
it is an organized hell. It is a villainv
which has no top or bottom. Itreaches from
the bOttOmless depths of he'll. where it was
born, to the summit of British greed and IA
pacity, and that has never vet been measured
sum of all villainies. Irish Iandlordisrn com
prises all the villainies that the devil ever in
vented with African slavery thrown in
merely as flavor. Irish landlOrdism makes
African slavery virtue by comparison.
When a negro slave got too old to work he
was provided for while life lasted. The Irish
tenant, when he becomes old. and cannot
work, is thrown ont upon the roadside with
his wife and children TO die and rot"

THE lower branch of the New YORK
Legislature on yesterday week, just a
month after the session commenced'
elected as Speaker Charles 4. Patter-
son the regular Democratic nominee,
the Tammany, or John Kelly, members
voting for him. What caused this erim-
jnal waste Of a whole months time ? It
wasn't because Mr.. Patterson was in
any respect an unfit man for Speaker,
but it was because Kelly's men, who
held the balance Of power in the House
as we'll as in the Senate, demanded, in
the first place, that they should be al
lowed to dictate to the House the chair
men of the Committees on Cities and
Rail Roads, and also that a man of their
own selection should be elected chief
clerk. These demands were, of course,
rejected, and now at the end of a month
these same Tammany patriots, back
squarely down from there original posi-
tion and vote for the regular caucus
candidate, who will frame the commit
tees according to his own best judgment.
It seems that the compromise was ef-
fected by the regular Democrats agree
ing to withdraw all the other caucus
and that another caucus
should be held this Tuesday evening,
which the Tammany members agreed
to attend, for the purpose of nominating
for the House offices. This
will perhaps end the controversy, or it
may not. We will see. How long will
John Kelly and his followers continue
to disorganize the Democratic party in
New York, and prevent it from accom-
plishing its honest purposes ? That this
boss Of Tammany Hall is able to con-
troll the action of forty thousand Dem
ocrats in the city of New York, and
as many more in the balance of the
State, is the great political wonder of
.he age.

THE Election Committee Of the House
at Washington, although purposely con-
stituted to turn out of their seats a large
number Of Democratic members from
the Southern States, upon the pre:ext
that the negroes were intimidated by
the white people from voting for the
Republican candidates and by their
votes electing them. has discovered that
it is an easy thing TO allege fraud and
make charges of bull-dozing negro votes
but it is not so easy a matter to proye
them, even to the Committee on Elec-
tions in a Republican Congress. Last
week that committee dismissed the
Louisiana case of Lanier (Rep.) against
King lDem.), the contestant, Lanier
having utterly failed to produce any ev-
ideuce to sustain his trumPed up claim
to "a seat. This was n case over which,
after the elections a wear ago last No
vcmher. the Republican press howled
loud and long asa specimen Of Southern
intimidation. Another case. that of
MADISON, Rep, against Oates, Dem. from
Alabama, is likely from the latest re-
ports to 90 the same way and for the
same cause. But then Lanier and Nab
son will both get their pay for attempt
ing to crawl into Congress under false
pretences. and that probably is about all
they were after.

THAT eminent Democratic statesman,
Morgan r. Wise, of Greene comfy, this
State. who was first elected to Congress
in 1873 and reelected in 1880, proposes
once more to try the suffering patience
of his constituents by again asking them
to make him their candidate and give
him a third term Of official life at Wash
ington. If there ever was a member or
Congress from this State who required
to be given "a rest, - and an exceeding
Iy long one, it is Morgan r. Wise, and
we trust that the intelligent Democracy
of the counties of Westmoreland, Fay
ette and Greene, if they should happen
to form a district under the new appor-
tionment bill, as they now do, will see
that he gets it beyond all peradventure.

THE English people are working
themselves up to a high pitch of excite
ment over the persecution Of the Jews
in Russia, and town meetings are being
held calling on the government to make
a friendly protest against its continu-
ance. The Journal Of st. Petersburg,
commenting on the proceedings of one
Of these indignation meetings, says that
Englishmen would consider it a very i'm
puIeut piece Of business if similar meet
ing were held in Russia and the same
sweeping language was INDUCED in IN
deuouucing English legislation for Ire
land. The hit is palpable, but England
will continue in the future, as in the
past, to see the moat in the eye of some
other nation without ever discovering
the huge beam in her own.

DEATH FROM EATING SNOw.-Sam Black,

ADDED "Here's plenty to cat lvino aroDnd

snow as he walked. His cousin protested
but he kept on eating the snow until he had
swal lowed a large quantity. In a little while
he showed symptoms of Illness and as they
were in desert place his cousin had finally
to carry him in his arms. He was taken to
the nearest house, Mrs. McCOnnell's, when,
as he now began to be violently i'll, physi-
clan was sent for and, meantime, salt admin
istered to vOmit him. Nothing availed, and
in few hours the young man bTeathed his

TEIRTT-TwO MINERS BURIED ALIVE
An explosion occurred at the Grove shaft Of
the Midlothian coal mines, in Virginia, at
O'Clock Friday afternoon. ThiTty-tvFO men,
ten of whom are white, were caught / n the
shaft, and there is little hope that any Of
them viii be got out alive. The gas testers
went down 10 the bottom Of the pit three
times, but were forced to return on account
OF the smoke and gas. They report the pit
on FIRE.
The scene at the shaft was most distress
ing, as nearly every one there had some uela-
tive OF friend among the entOmbed miners.
The cause Of the disaster is not positively
known. BY some it IS attributed TO gas
while others say the boiler in the pit exDIo-
ded. There is no doubt that those who were
not killed by the explosion win be suffOcated
by black damp and smoke, with which the
pit is chOked.
