THE SPEAKERSHIP.

We take leave to suggest on behalf of an
expectant public i'll parquet, boxes and family
circle to the Democratic managers who are
setting the political stage for 1884 that they
are in danger of giving their patrons too long
a await" between the acts. Congress ad-
iourned three weeks ago. Another Congress
meets in December. That Congress has no
Speaker yet. Barely nine months remain in
which to make one; and to an impatient
public the scrimmages preliminary to the cleo
ton of q Democratic Speaker lag unaccounta-
bly,. Why this unusual quiet Z Why-if We
may be permitted the inquiry-why arc the
candidates for that high place not already in
the ringf Do not the party managers under
stand that fully one-half the consideration for
last Noyember's great political revolution lay in
the expectation that the set-to over the spoils
would begin at the earliest possible moment,
and that the public would derive much enter
tainment therefrom during the long interval
between the adjournment of the last and the
assembling of the new Congress Is the pub
lie TO be disappointed in this Then half
the fun of electing a Democratic Congress
ia gone already. Thousands of nOn-DemO-
cratic voters helped elect Democratic majority
to the next Congress at the last election whO
if they had been asked what they did it for
would have answered, after little hesitation
and sef-questioning, "Well to see what these
blank fools would do if they had chance"
And here now are three weeks gone, and the
blank fools " have done nothing TO amuse or
entertain their patrons.
Where is Joseph Blackburn, of Kentucky 7
Where his colleague Carlisle Both are can
didates for Speaker, but, unfortunately, only
one can be elected. Why do not these two
able-bOdied statesmen step TO the front and,
to slow music start the entertainment with a
Graco- Roman hugf And why does not that
sDrightly bottle-holder, The Louisville Courier
journal, leave off its glittering generalities
about the horns of the protection bull and
specifically back one or the other of these two
iree-traders as its candidate Then there is
Samuel Randall-Speaker that was, and that
hopes again to be, and may be-something
else hereafter. Why isn't his castor D" SHE'D

on his being Speaker Of the next House. If
his free trade opponents beat him this time
his game is up. But Samuel Randall makes
no sign. Here too-right in our midst" as
the language butchers say-are Samuel Cox,
lightweight champion, and William DORIS

that very many branches Of industry have need

for many reasons, this body of voters Is dis

All the trickery of all the politicians will fail

dice thrown to decide which of these two shall
be the Tammany candidate for Speaker Ana
why shouldn't the County Democracy decide at
the same time and in the same way-they've
done it before-between Mr.. Abram. Hewitt
and Mr.. Waldo Hutchns as their candidate
Springer, too, Of Illinois-he is candidate
why isn't his canvass under wayP And Eaton,
of Connecticut, and nobody knows how many
more. Why are not these candidates at the
front with their claims and their prospects and
their "sure things"f
The whole business lags unaccountably and
the public is disappointed. Half the nun Oh
electing Democratic Congress is in seeing
the tussle for the Offices; and here is no tussle
at all. What's up7 Is this real calm, or are
they all burrowing and making still hunt on
each other We have strong suspicion that
there is q lively fight going on just under the
surface, by correspondence and otherwise, and
that the public is losing the fun to which 1t Is
fairly entitled. We protest against. 1t as unfair
treatment of confiding public. We are SO
confident that something of this kind is gong
on that we hereby offer one years subscription
to THE TRIBUNE to any Democratic member

approached on behalf of at least one candidate
for Sneaker. Now, then, gentlemen, don't all
sneak at once. Let us see whether the pubic

In Brooklyn the Aldermen think they nave
discovered another source of mortality. IL Is
in the Illuminating gas made from naphtha'
commonly known as water-gas. Eight deaths
they say, have been traced directly to TINS
cause within two years, while in thirty years
before, while coal gas was exclusively used'
no deaths were recorded against the COM
panies. No trouble, except very bad lights
has been reported thus far in New-fork'
where haphtha gas has been used longer than
across the East River. An official e1amlna-
ton, however, has been ordered in Brooklyn
from which, of course, New-York will reap
some benefit. Naphtha gas is hardly so bad as
the cholera or smallpox; still, If a single
death can be traced directly to it, house
holders will do well to look closely after their
burners or leaks in the meters and the com
panies to their methods of manufacture.

The dealers in this city seem inclined to con-
slider their recent compromise with the farmers
rather as a truce than as the end OF the MIX
war. The producers, they say, have had
their little picnic -; now they purpose to nave
theirs, and not to take any more milk than they
actually need. They would be foolish, OF
course, to let any large quantity sour Oh their
hands but they can avoid this result, we think.
by supplying their customers with nothing
but the pure article. Householders then might
not get any more Croton than they have now,
but they would get it In the legitimate way
through their water pipes. Moreover, before
the dealers arrange "picnic" they should re-
member that their customers, the consumers OF
milk in New York, might want to go along. liz
would not take very much, if the milk war were
reopened, to stir indignant and badly served
householders to union with the farmers,
which would probably end in the employment
of very few or no middlemen in this business
The dealers in that case would have their pic
nic~ all to themselves; but it is doubtful If
they would enjoy it much.

SINCE the days when an Oxford under
graduate excused his non-interference in
favor of drowning man ON the plea that
he had not been introduced to the poor
wretch, there has been no more pitiable il
lustration of certain phase of English
character than that presented in the treat
ment of the starving people of the west of
Ireland. When, recently, Government
poor-law inspector visited st. Columbkille to
make inquiries into the condition of the peo-
pie, he was met politely by the parish priest
and resignedly informed that the people
were weary of inquiries. The inspector at
the time was surrounded by 1900 people
whose only means of subsistence was sea-
weed gathered from the shore, yet he had
come merely 'sto make inquiries and re-
port" And this was not the first time that
such inquiries had been made at the same
place since the present period of distress
began. In the fall Sedley Taylor, of Cam
bridge, was sent to that region to learn the
condition of the people, and he reported in
due form. Then poor-law inspector visit
ed the poor wretches, heard their furnishing
cries, and made his report, and next fol-
lowed the other poor-law inspector to whom
the priest gave his wearied answer. If the
distress had occurred on this side of the At
lantic bread and meat and clothing would
have been sent first and inquiries have been
made afterward. The nutritious qualities
of red-tape report have not yet been dis
covered in this country, and we doubt much
whether the poor, starving Irishmen of the
coast of Galway yet understand its advan-
tage as an article of food.
