been carried 80 far as to serve notice on
the President to appear before the United

be appointed Already there is talk as to
who the receiver shall be, and the friends of
Hon. John S. Combs, among them num-
Der of coal companies, are strong advocates
for him. In commenting on this subject the
Cumberland Times says: 1--WE are not in
favor Of a receiver; but in the event of the
appointment of one, Mr.. Combs would be
good man for the office as no one is more
familiar with the interests and necessities of
shippers and the canal, or better fitted for
the duties pertaining TO receiver"

Squabbles.

There has been no sharp difference of opinion con-
corning any Of the squabb!es in which the PRESS
has lately been engaged.-Advertiser.
There was an election last month which
interested the people of the city so much
that the vote was the largest ever thrown at
municipal election. But it was ''squab-
ble'' in which the prudent Advertiser avoid
cd taking any active part. Before that the
Mayor Of the city had assumed the position
that it was an lnfraction of his prerogatiye
for the City Council to presume to deter
mine bow the city's vote should be cast in
the election of directors of railroad owned
by the city. But it was ''squabble' in
which the Advertiser preserved strict neu-
trality. When the Mayor assumed that be
had the right to vote in meetings of the Nav
or aud Aldermen in other cases than when
there was tie, The Advertiser treated the
prepesterous claim as "squabble' with
which it was beneath its dignity to be con-
cerned, although it ventured an opinion
upon the department of certain city officers
These questions relating to the fundamentals
of municipal government it loftily Ignored.
But it comes TO the front valiantly when
the City Marshaps conduct in office is COM
planned of to maintain that hearing in
the case of subordinate officer OF the execu-
tive department of the city must be condnct-
ed with the formaity of trial OF President
of the United States impeached for high
crimes and msdemeanors, the penalty Of
which is not only removal from Office but
disqualification to hold any office of trust OF
honor in the future! Any complaint against
the Marshal for culpable negligence, for al
tering complaints entered in court after they
have been sworn to, for exercising discre-
ton that does not belong to him, is, in the
Advertisers judgment, mot serious and
might better have been omitted" Probably
it regards such little matters as being, like
Mayors usurpation OF authority, or an i'm
portant city election, merely ''squabbles,n
about which it is bad form not to seem in
different.

Speech i'm Opposition to the Senate
uAmendments to the Naval Appropriation
Bill.
In the House Wednesday Mr.. Randall, cb air.
man Of the committee on appropriations, ad-
dressed the committee of the whole in OPPOSE
ton to the Senate amendments to the Naval
Appropriation bill. Mr.. Reed in reply spoke
as follows:
Mr. Chairman. am very glad to have SO
satisfying an explanation made by the gentle
man from Pennsylvania Mr.. Randall. 1t is
formed upon the model Of the explanations
which he ordinarily gives to the House-expla-
nations which can see by previous votes are
satisfactory to the House. He states no reason
whatever for the conclusions to which he ar
rives; he simply states to the House that he
mas arrived at certain conclusions. The first of
these IS that vessels should not be built by the
Navy Department. Now, one would ordinari-
ly suppose that the Navy Department was
created for the purpose of building vessels.
Yet the gentleman from PENNSYLVANIA gives
ne no other reason for not building vessels
than, hrst, that they are liable to be built by
the Navy Department, and secondly, that
there Is bill Tor that purpose now on the
Speakers table. Yet he knows that the bill
now on the Speakers table is there not for
life, but for death. In other words, he does
not want any provision in this bill for building
cruisers, because there is another bill of similar
purpose on the table which he knows cannot
pass
Now these are broad views for the Congress
OF the United States to take upon subject
like this. Their soundness the gentleman
from Pennsylvania will have the satisfaction of
seeing ratified, undoubtedly, by his side of the
House, and / suppose that satisfaction is more
supreme and serene in his mind than any flight
of oratory or any of those explanations which
gentlemen in charge of large measures ordina-
ly vouchsafe to the community whose interests
are intrusted TO their care. If so, all can do
is to commend him to the satisfaction that is
pretty sure to follow. Still the public will
very naturally judge of the character of the
majority which satisfies itself by such reasons,
and will necessarily be charmed at the result
OF its efforts for reform made year or two
ago; and the whisper of the next Democratic
candidate for President as to the generality of
reform which is 10 be distributed over this
country will broaden and increase in its inco-
herence. Laughter
NOW, think of nation of 100000 people
without any navy treated to these two reasons
why 1t should not build navy; first, that the
Navy Department, would b. liable under the
amendment Of the Senate to build the vessels;
and secondly, that there is another bill pend
ing which cannot by any possibility pass, and
therefore we should not pass this!
Now, just think of 1t for moment. Here
you are with the responsibilities of the conn
try upon you. The gentleman from PennsvI-
vania takes gentle refuge in the past-t6at
home OF the Democracy-the place where they
