party of the administration throughout the
country were unable to break the invincible
column so well led by Malone and his
splendid lioutenants, Riddleberger, Cameron,
Wise, and Paul. When Massachusetts, Con-
nectcut, Pennsylvania New York, Michigan,
Colorado, California, Nevada, and Kansas
found themselves overpowered by the dcmoc-
racy, the bourbons of old Virginia werc made
captivos by the rcadiusters, and John s. Wise
was elected congressman at large by five
thousand majority, and five of the nno con-
gressional districts of the state elected the
liberal and republican candidates. 2
OF tho seventy.six members of the senate
after the fourth of March thirty-eight will
be republican, thirty-six democratic, and
two readjuster Thirty-nino votes are ncces-
sary to mako president pro temporo
or TO adopt any resolution relating to
the organization of the body. The New York
Times deprecates the acceptance of the needed
thirty-ninth vote from the rcadiusters. This
involves the grandest political question which
has been presented since the adoption of those
constitutional amendments which liberated,
citizcni2ed and enfranchiscd over four millions
of American born men, women, and children.
1t calls upon the republican party TO
decide whether IL will restore the union of
these states under liberal policy toward
southern seceders from the bourbon democ-
racy, or whether it will surrender that task to
some organization yet to be formed. The
north is not and ought not to be, the
nation. It is eighteen years since the fall of
Richmond. The north does not give good
promise of the two hundred and one electoral
votes needed to prevent bourbon restoration
in 1884. This need not alarm republicans.
| The Old Dominion is already out of
tho old ruts. North Carolina, despite
straight republican obstinacy, came within
three hundred and forty-threo votes of
escaping from the bourbon captivity, and
did overthrow it in three of her congress
sional districts. But it was coalition that
did this. For ten years the unaided rcpubli-
| can party OF the North state had been as
helpless as in Kentucky.
If tho coalitions in Virginia and North
Carolina are to go on and be the allies of a
progressive national republican party the
coalition in the senate must of course be cor
dial and harmonious.
Ono would think, from reading some of tho
assistant democratic papers claiming to be
republican, that Gen. Malone was a poor
relation instead of respected and self
respecting ally-that he was sort of political
tramp instead of a great party leader. For
tunately for the country such view has no
support on the republican side of the senate.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN did much to
build up the successful anti-bourbon coali-
ton in Virginia. If alleged statesmen out
side of the senate. advocate an alliance Of
republicans with incorrigibe bourbons to tear
down what has been built it shall not be
without remonstrance in these columns.

Judah II. BonJamin.

The cable that brings the report of Mr..
Judah p. Bcniamin's retirement from the
practice of the law in England says it was
ary because of an affection of the heart,
although otherwise his health is good. But
when it is remembered that Mr.. Benjamin is
far into his seventies, it will be seen that his
final retirement is not far off. Mr.. Benjamin
accomplished what no other man at the Eng
Iish bar has ever done. He went to England
in 1867, read his two years terms in chambers
as any other barrister would, rose immedi-
ately to the front rank in his profession, and
was made queens counsel in less than five
years from the date of his admission to the bar
Last year he was engaged as counsel in every
case that was brought before the house Of
peers. His style in speaking was u model Of
logic and rhetoric, and he had at command u
sarcasm so delicate and yet so cruelty piercing
that il was feared as personal chastisement
IIo lived in London in the most absolute
simplicity, although Mrs Benjamin lived
magnihenty in Paris, He gives great part
of his income away, and is fond of assisting
young lawyers, He had in London two

THE MILWAUKEE HORROR.
Evidence of the Firemen Before the
CorOner's Jury.

MILWAUKEE, January 30.-Interest in the
Newhall House Inquest, which began TO fl 1t.
ten, was renew wed to, day BY the testimony oil
various hremen. Chief Lupp,r! said the
fremen aud policemen did their whole duty
in saving lives. He considered the tele-
graph wires very much in the way, but did
not give orders to cut the wires. The de-
parimeut has no reel aud horses for fire
escapes. The fremen often looked ever the
prem ses TO know what to do 10 an emergency.
II the fire companies OF the department had
not been at another fire more lives could
have been saved at the burning hotel. The
latter had not sufficient 6ie escJpes, in the
opinion OF the witness, but he added that
the Newhall was nearly as we'll provided
with escapes as any other hoiel. The testi-
mouy cf the other firemen agreed in the
% ain points.
In the afternoon session David Rose, Sec
retary of the local Board Of Underwriters
testified that he had examined the hotel
shortly before the fire in regard TO the in.
surauce rates. He found the hose on pess
instead of reels. The drying-room was ex-
tremely dangerous, and the propristors re-
fused to substitute wire for wooden bare
He therefore addressed circular to agents
alvising them that the rate should not be
reduced. The Nswhall Hotel rate was
higher than that OF any other hotel on &C
count OF its dangerous condition.
A. G. Cary, one of the oldest agents in the
city, ssid the hotel was extremely dangerous
and he did not consider the risk good at ever
two per cent.
Several of the fremen testified to beins
timid in entering the building, because they
knew it was FIRE trap.
The district attorney stated 10 answer tC
a question of juror, that he had endeav
ored to show that the FIRE was ince ndiary
hut that any positive evidence to that effec
would be taken advantage OF by the othe
side. He c1uld not present all the evidenct
10 the possession OF the prosecution wirhou
Injury TO the case against Scheller.
A juror disagreed, and wanted all the eyi
deuce. The disirc, attorney, plying, sait
that ii the jury were not satis6sd d with the evi
dence that the FIRE was incendiary, the.
would return pc force verdict of scci
dental fire.
