Senator z;dIllIInds,



Mr.. Edmunds has been member of the
Senate since April 1866, passing through all
the seasons of corruption at Washington en-.
gcndered by the enormous expenditures Of
the civil war, and yet no faint of jobbery be
fouls his record. AS apublic man Eimurd,'s
acts for eighteen years avouch his sincerity
as Il Civil-service rcformer, aud impalt TO his
professions an authority commanding instant
belief. He is called cold and distant by
which We are to understand he produces such
an Impression upon POLITICIANS bursting with
schemes in which The masses have no interest.
This GOODNESS aul reserve are far higher
qualities than c)mplaisaucc in its various
forms when exhibited towards those who are
in politics for the importance it confers or
monetary gain. They would surround the
White House with an atmosphere warning
off persistent office seekers. Mr.. Elmunds
displays no unsecmly desire to be President.
He has no boomers in his pay, or any whis-
perng fcebleness III his composition. His
election would place statesman at the head
of the Government, Que who represents the
best political thought of the country on the
chief issue upon which parties can divide
under ext ting conditions.

THE PIancIs in AprII.

The astronomer of the Providence Jour-
mi says that during April all the planets
are evening stars, and all are on the list,
grouped on the SIMS ea5 crn side in the
following order Of nearuess to the great
luniuary: Mercury, Ngpunc, Venus, Sat
urn, Jupiter, Mas and Uranus Before
the month closes the order will be changed,
for Mercury meets and passes Neptune, and
Venus changes places with Saturn. It is
UNUSUAL for all the planets to be evening
stars thr0ugh The entire month.

EI,c Tariff on Wool.

The bill to restore the old rates of duty
on wool was defeated in the House, Mon
day, by vote of 1876 to 1lS Twelve Re
pubicars voted against the bill. They were
Davis, Long, Lyman, Rockwell aud Whiting
of Massachusetts, Henderson and Struble of
Iowa, Adams of Illinois, James of New
York, and Nelson Strait and White of
Minnesota. The Massachusetts opposition
to the bill arose from the fact that it con-
tanned no prop )sltion to advance the rates
of duty on wooden manufactures, so as to
make them correspond with the proposed
rates on WOOL The same reas IN caused a
number of New England Republicans to
refrain from voting at all. Russell of Mass
achusejts, Chace Of Rhode island, Stewart
and Poland of Vermont and Haynes of New
Hampshire, however, votci t r the bill.
Thirty eight Democrats also voted for it, and
this numb was considerably larger than
had been generally expected, although it is
true that god many Democrats who are
opposed tDthe Morrison bill voted also against
the wool Till. Distributed by States this
affirmative Democratic vote was as follows
Pennsylvania, 9 Ohio, 7 California,
New York, 8 West Virginia, 3 Alabama,
2; Wisconsin, 2, and Tennessee Michigan,
New Jersey, Maryland, Louisiana, Georgia
and South Carolina, / each. All the Con
necticut Democrats voted against the bill
AT least one of them will also vote against
the Morrison Till, together with several New
York Democrats who are opposed to the
Morrison bill as well as to the wool bill
against which they voted. The same is true
of four of the Virginia Democrats, two Of
whom voted against the bill, while two arc
absent. A few OF the Democrats who voted
for the wool bill will also vote consideration
of the Morrison bill. 1t is asserted among
those who, it is sail. will do SO are Sumner
and Winans of Wisconsin, Eldridge OF
Michigan and Weller of Iowa. The resul,
of the vote, however, taken AS a whole, mus,
be discouraging to the friends Of the Morri
son bill. 1t probably indicates a small ma.
jorIty against the consideration of that meas
ure, when an effort shall be made to take il
up next week.
