POLITICAL.

There was lively scene at one of the
States Senate. Senator Evarts took occasion
10 denounce the political associates of his
brother Senators, Rlddlebergcr and Malone,
as swindlers and regulators. The next day
Riddleberger replied with a furious attack
upon Mr.. Evarts, the bitterness of which has
hardly been exceeded in the annals of Con-
gress. The language was of the lighting"
kind, but Mr.. Evarts neither opened his lips
nor appeared to hear it.
Certain New York Democrats are
sad TO be Disguised at President Clevelands
reappointment of Postmaster Pearson. Ac-
cording TO the Chicago Times Washington
correspondent, "they say that If the Presi-
dent thought it necessary TO especially en-
phasize his admiration OF practical cvil-ser-
vice reform he could have done so very etfec-
tually by selecting for Parsons successor
Democrat of high character, who would have
carried out the theory that great postoliice
such as that at New York should be conducted
upon purely business principles and without
regard to partisan considerations. To go
outside of the Democratic party to find such
q man is for the President to confess that he
could not find Democrat who came up to
the standard, or that he could not find one
whom he was willing TO trust to carry out
his policy. They say that the effect OF Pear
sons nomination and confirmation would al
most inevitably be heavy loss to the Dem
ocratic party in New York. and that the in
jury can not be fully repaired even by filing
all of the important Federal Offices in that city
with active Democratic partisans."

Can't. Kane,s Course Defended.

tapts name NONiSc lDtirnocus
There was considerable excitement in
naval circles over the news of the uprising
at Aspinwall, and the burning of that city.
The censure of Capt. Kane, of the Galena,
says Washington special, for not firing on
the rebels was regarded by many as unjust,
in the absence of full particulars. Officers
familiar with affairs at Colon-which is the
Colombian name for Aspinwall-say there
is no doubt whatever that Capt. Kane must
have been in consultation with the leading
railroad, steamship, and business men of
that place, and that Hhis movements were
governed by their advice. Had Capt. Kane
fired on the rebels and damaged any property,
the United States would probably have
been called upon to pay damages. This,
naval officers say, would have caused an
endless amount of claims. for which Capt.
Kane would probably have been court
martialed and dismissed. AS the case
stands, the Colombian Government is now
responsible for all the damages inflicted.
Capt. Kane has an excellent record for
bravery. and his friends are confident ibis
explanations will be satisfactory to his SUI
perors. The activity of Secretary Whit
ney in massing men at Brooklyn to be dis
patched to Aspinwall Tomorrow in the Pa
cific Mail steamship City of Para received
