If the house refuses to pass its own
naval appropriation bill of last session,
now submitted to it by tho senate. it will
provo conclnsively that the democratic
party is permanently welded to its policy
of obstruction. Tho cruisers have been
stricken out, tho ironclads have been
eliminated, the legislation that was put
on by the senate Is taken of, and the sen-
ato bill now stands, so far as amounts go.
precisely on the basis that tho house made
up the appropriation bill originally for the
present year. Tho house cannot afford to
reject this proposition of the senate, which
only few months ago was its own. The
democratic party cannot afford to have
tho house reject it, unless it is anxious to
return to tho minority condition from
which it has 50 recently emerged.

TuEsenate should at an early day take
up and consider the house bill prohibit
ing the importation of laborers under
contract. The condition of those brought
hero from Italy is little better than that
of slaves, They are let ont to those who
are willing to employ them, and have no
voice in the price or hours of their labor.
1t is competition with American labor
that should not be tolerated. Their en-.
ingmen, and causes no little discomfort
among them. This is branch of the
labor question which legislation will af-
feet, and the sooner action is taken by the
senate the better.

THERE seems to be u decided coolness
existing already between tho president
elect and the rilden wing Of the democ-
racy, Mr.. Barnum, late chairman of the
democratic national committee, and a
warm friend of rilden, has allowed him
self to be interviewed upon the dlsap-
pointments Of tho campaign. According
TO correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, he has no expectation of getting
any Office for himself or any Of his
friends from Mr.. Cleveland. Ho antici-
pates that Mr.. ClovelNnd's antipathy to
Tillen, recently developed, will extend
10 all the latter's friends, Of whatever

CHICAGO, Dec, 25,-Preparations are making
by the Illinois Central management to bring
sui within few days for the ejectment of the
Baltimore nnd Ohio from the use of the for

Near the wild, rocky falls of the river

That ran like race horse forever
And roared in its desperate flow.
The sunlight came over the mountain,
And kissed every leaaet and rill
The rocks echoed back every fountain
That sprang from the breast of the hill.
The snow-fretted waters kept boiling,
The winds curled the ripples that ran;
My soul in its casket was toiling
To leap over life's little span.

Ocrlooking the wild, rocky walls,

If tho house bill creating depart
