REPUBLICAN DEPRESSION.
The Meeting of the Boston Independents
Another Dampener.

The Meeting of the Boston Independents
Another Dampener.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-EverybOdy in
Congress read the reports of the Boston
Independent meeting, of yesterday,
with the greatest interest to-day. 1t
gave both Democrats and Republicans a
much more adequate idea of the size and
strength of the Independent movement
than either ever had before. They saw
that there was no analogy between these
kickers and the sulking stalwarts of the
early weeks of the Garfield campaign.
The latter could be cajoled and bribed,
and were, in any event, in
the hands of their leaders
But the names of 1900 gentlemen who
called the Boston meeting forbade even
the suggestion of any such methods of
persuasion, and everybody knew that they
were their own masters. The obvious
effect of the meeting was to depress the
Republicans and correspOndingly en-
courage the one Independent, Col. Lyman.
and the Democrats. The Blaine bluster
was temporarily stilled. The Blaine men
devoted their energies to-day to pointing
out how Henry l.. Pierce was a sOrehead
and how Charles r. Goldman
was dude. Some of the
Western Blaine men mixed Col. Goldman
with John Goldman. and spoke of him as a
dude dressed with British gold, whose
mission in life was to break up American
shipbuilders. The Blaine men summed
up the men who were at the meeting, i'm
patiently, as a lot of conscientious Phari-
sees, dudes, sOreheads and Democrats, and
then tried to whistle up their courage
again. One of them was reminded that
it was not wise for them to shout before
they were out of the woods.
"H-ll," he said very frankly, "we've
cot to shout before we get out of the
woods" Most of them are not so candid,
but all Of them were equally staggered by
the Boston meeting. The Democrats
talked all day of the strength displayed
at the meeting. They were more than
ever impressed with the necessity of nom
mating Cleveland or Bayard. So far as
Washington is concerned the Boston
meeting had its perfect work. Boutelle
ought to have skipped that spontaneous
serenade at Bangor, and returned directly
to Washington. In the absence of BOu-
telle and Keifer the Republicans of the
House are apt to feel blue when they hear

ENGLAND TO INTERFERE.
English men-of-war will protect British

so by her representatives. To-day there are
fully 5000 Jamaicans and British subjects on
the isthmus who would suffer in the event of
revolt. England says that she win protect
them.
Inquiry is made as to the treaty of 1916, be-

Messrs. Hogeman and Couch, the as

ginia, which closed its doors on Thursday
last, say that an approximate statement
Just made of the banks affairs shows the
liabilities to be about $125,0OO and the
nominal assets about $160,O00 The as
signees feel confident that large
part of the Indebtedness of the bank will
be paid, but as a considerable portion of

necessary to take some time to wind

ment. l said then what 1 say now, that he
was the originator of this scheme"
didn't in my opening statement mention
Mr.. Dorsey?" asked Col. Bliss.
''Col. Bliss, in his opening, said that Mr..
Dorsey was the centre Of the Conspiracy" re-
piled Mr.. Merrick. Col. Bliss then
referred to Mr.. Ker's testimony, in
which he said that the counsel for
the defense during the trial read a neWspa-
per interview with Col. Bliss in which he was
credited with saying that Mr.. Dorsey's case
was weak one. He also read from the
record Of the trial to prove that no such inter-
view was read in court. That statement of
Mr.. Ker's, he said warmly, is entirely manu-
factured."
Col. Bliss said "The arrangement which
was made early in the session to unload on me
has begun. propose to meet those makingit.
| will put IN testimony some letters that some
people forget have ever been written"
The committee decided to hear the letters
next Wednesday, and to listen to any further
testimony that Col. Bliss desires to give, after
which an adjournment was taken.
In his testimony yesterday Mr.. MeFrick
said that James w. Bosler had requested that
Mr.. Merrick should not be allowed to see his
books, because Mr.. MerTick was a Democrat.
and the books had political entries in them.
Mr.. Bosler was under subpoena. Mr.. Merrick

"Public sentiment in the District of Columbia
was very much influenced in some way
against the prosecution from the start. 1t

\ Proposition to Hold no July Court.

Is viii be noticed in the proceedings q
/ the Tax-Payrrs' Union. there is a rropo-
sition before Judge Chrismap to omit The
! july term of the Circuit Court. When il
/ is cuudiGcrcd that there are about 10 OF
! 100 cases now on docket awaiting trial, and
/ four of these murder cases, with one OF
| two others for granddaughter, the PROPOSE
ton is really serious one. THIS, not
taking into account any new eases that
may bc developed by the grand jury. But
aside from any question of the right or
eXpcdicncy of thus pOStponing cases of so
serious a nature as these, the thoughtful
the long ran, will the economy come in /!
Surely not by holding a special term at
some time in the early future, which
would certainly have to he done in order
to reduce the docket to 4 size within the
power Of the Court to dispose of within Il
term of four weeks, its present limit. The
only argument we regard as worth con
sidcring III favor of tho proposition is,
that the crops are late and in the grass,
and that to take the farmers out of their
fields to attend protractcd term of
Court will result under the circumstan-
ccs very disastrously to the agricultural
interests of the County, and through
them To all others; but we do not regard
this, plausible as it may seem, of sufficient
weight to Justify the delay, arrangement
and great injury likely to follow the
postponemcnt of an already heavily
burdcned civil and criminal docket
We fear our friends of the Taxpayers
Union, in their laudabe zeal to ccono-
mizc and reduce public expenditures, are
just little in danger of running to the
other extreme. Investigate and econo-
mizc, gentlemen, wherever Legitimate
economy can be accomplished, but do
not carry your efforts to the extent of
disturbing or obstructing any of the reg
Ular functions of County government.

The Republicans believe that the post
Office appropriation bill, as it has passed the
House, will result in serious Gripping OF
the mail service by creating antagonism be-
tween the Government and the railroads.
One provision of the bill directs that the
mails shall be carried on the fastest trains,
and that there shall be weighings, which are
the basis of compensation, only once in four
years. The Postmaster-General has shown
that the business increases on the average
about 10 per cent. each year, yet the roads
are not to be allowed to Ieweight until
1885, In other words the railroads are to be
compelled to carry two-fifths more matter
without any Increase of compression. The
Pennsylvania railroad has already notified
the Government that it will not carry the
mails ON it's fastest trains on any such con-
ditions. The result will be litigation in the
courts with the chances that the Govern
nent will be defeated, The bill cuts down
the appropriation for postmasters' salaries
aud the pay of railway clerks below the
amount absolutely necessary, aud there is
ne doubt that at the next session OF Con-
gress there will be a heavy deficiency 70
make up. But before the next session OF
