There Is not much prospect that this
Congress will do anything towards estab-
fishing a postal telegraph system. The
House Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads has decided, by very large major
ity, that it is inexpedient for the govern
ment to have anything to do with the
matter, and the Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads has decided to
report favorably bill providing for such
a system. The great minds in the two
branches Of Congress differ widely. The
Western Union Company argued against
the system. and its arguments seem to
have been effective. When Congress gets
through with the tariff bill and the appro-
priation bills it won't make any inquiries
about the postal telegraph bill. 1t will
adjourn without much delay.

The New York Times says that District
Attorney Speer and his allies are trying
to work up a solid Arthur delegation in this
State, but that at least six Of the delegates
have kicked over the traces and will fol-
low their own sweet will at Chicago. The
Times also says that it is predicted that
the heads of Collector johnson and
Marshal LOngstreet will fall in
the basket because they are not
assisting Mr.. Speer. 1t will be surprising
if there are not more than six Georgia
delegates at Chicago who will not sup
port Mr.. Arthur. Leading Republicans
OF the State do not hesitate to name a
much larger number. 1t may be that the
official heads of Longstreet and Johnson
VIII fall in the basket but if
they are not earnest supporters
Of Mr.. Arthur they do not
know which side their bread is buttered
on since their official terms expire before
shat Of Mr.. Arthur does. According TO
eur correspondent at Brunswick the
johnson faction shouted the lOudest for
Arthur at the District Convention which
met in that city last week TO select Chics-
60 delegates.

The Baltimore Conference.

Another effort is to be made, it seems,
to harmonic the differences OF the Demo-
cratic party with respect to the tariff. A
conference composed of protectionists and
revenue reformers is TO be held at Balti-
more. 1t is not easy to see what the con-
ference can accomplish. To make any
concession to the protecuenists is to take
a step backward, and step backward
means defeat in the national contest.
The majority have already made
all the concessions they reasonably can.
Mr.. Carlisle was elected Speaker with the
understanding that he would make up
Ways and Means Committee favorable to
reduction of the tariff. The committee
reported a very moderate bill. In the
House Democratic caucus Mr.. Morrison,
the leader of the majority, agreed to PER-
NIT amendments to be offered to the bill.
The protectionists are not satisfied. 1t is
impossible to satisfy them with anything
less than an agreement that the present
war tariff shall not be disturbed. w hat then
can the proposed Baltimore conference
accomplish? Is it expected that the rev.
enUe refnrmers will abandon their fight
for tariff reform, or that the proteetionists
will abandon their opposition to the de-
clared policy of the party? If not it is not
easy to see what can be done. After all
the wisest course would be for the party
to meve straight ahead on the course that
it has marked out.
The great increase in the popularity Of

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-01-30

Are we to witness the revival of a
mania similar to that which ragged in
Holland some two and half centuries
since? 1t is recorded in the City Regis
ter of Alkmaar that in 1859 100 TULIPS
sold for 10000 guilders, OF. about $40, =
900; and that one s, ecimen, named
1.-The Viceroy,'' brought the amazing
sum of 4, 200 guilders. So extraordi-
nary was. indeed, the flower frenzy
which prevailed in the Netherlands in
1886 and 1857, and reached its climax
in 1888, that men speculated in bulbs as
in our own times they dabble in mining
stocks or buy and sell railway shares.
The highest rice'ever given at Haar-
lem for tulip was $4,000 gulders, the
"Semr er Augustus" having been the
variety thus honored 1.-The owner
ship of bulb was often divided into
shares Men sold bulbs which they did
not possess on condition of delivering
them to the purchasers within a stipu-
lated time; while of some varieties far
more bulbs were sold than actually ex-
isted. a These extravagances were not
of much duration, but they lasted long
enough to. involve many hapless adven-
turers inruin. Something of a not widely
different kind threatens to arise among
ourselves During last spring the sums
of I58 and of 215 guineas, or f420, for
two plants, were paid at Stevens Nat
ural History sale rooms for couple of
varieties OF an orchid called the Cat
leyea Trianp." Last week still higher
sum was given fora single orchid; and
such is the speculation now existing in
orchidaceous plants that ere long some
English speculator may see his way to
getting up corner" in the 'L@liss''
and '.Cattlevas" for which the Brazilian
forests are so justly renowned, or in or
ganizing q .'put and CALI for the wax
like "Fandasn of Hindostan, and the
lovely .iphalenopses, = or moth orchids,
of the Philippine Islands. Oddly
enough, these prodjgious prices are paid
for specimens of plants which are found
scattered over almost the entire surface
Of the globe, They abound every
where except in the coolest and most
exposed regions, but are most numer-
GUS in the humid forests of the torfid
zone, and especially of America. s7ea
Until comparatively recent date the
imported specimens were cultivated in
hothouses together with other exoties,
but now single and specially prepared
structure of glass and iron is devoted to
varieties of one sort alone, Sometimes
it happens that individual plants pur-
chased for few shillings may prove,
when they flower for the first time, to
|, be distinct in, some particular from the
previously known patterns of the same
kind when this happens it is q
windfall; and, should the fortunate pos
SCISSOR wish TO part with the plant, there
are plenty of purchasers who would be
