1t appears from The MINERS dispatches
that Congressman Springer proposes to
urge his bill for the admission of Dakota,
Montana, New Mexico and Washington
Territories AFTER the holiday recess. Az
the Committee on Territories will not rec.
commend it he will move it to be substi.
tuted for one of the admission bills now
before the house. As the Washington
Territory admission bill, amended by the
House Committee on Territories, SO as to
include Montana: is the only one which
will be favorobly reported by that Com
mittee at this session; Mr.. Springer will
endeavor to substitute his bill for it. Mr..
Springer will not succeed, for the House
will not agree to admit three Republican
Territories with a single Democratic one.
But he can delay the passage OF the Wash
ington and Montana bill if not defeat it
altogether. Probably this is what Mr..
Springer desires.

THE WOMAN MURDERER.

For some time past and indeed eversince
Mrs. Druse was convicted and sentenced to
death for the murder Of her husband, the
New York papers have teemed with com.
ments upon the affair and in denunciations
OF tho verdict. Her execution was set for
to-day in the yard OF the county Jail at
Herkimer, New York. Governor Hill has
been overwhelmed with petitions and
prayers for her pardon or the commuta-
ton Of Ter sentence to imprisonment for
life. He finally granted a reprieve the
other day until the twenty-eishth OF Feb
ruary. In & long review OF the case, the
Governor. among other things said:
"The law does not make any distinction
in the punishment OF murder on account
OF sex. The executive must accept the law
as he finds it, and be cannot properly or
honestly eyade it. He cannot place his de-

Mrs. Anna c. Bailey. after a stay of more
than q year in the city, at the residence Of
Col. J. C. C. Thornton, leaves this evening
for Ogden, Utah. There she will make a
visit of a few weeks at her daughters, Mrs.
Mollie Henderson. and then proceed to
California, where she contemplates spend
ing the winter. It is the good fortune of
few women to possess, in so eminent q
degree, the qualities of intelligence. sOcia-
biiity and friendship found in Mrs. Bailey.
Her numerous friends here, while regretting
her departure, will ever cherish pleasant
recollections of the past and extend the
hope that wherever she may be located
she will find the appreciation and happi-
ness she deserves.

Parties are but vehicles, and when they
cease to be useful they go to pieces. We do
not believe, however, that the old Demo.
cratic carryall is ready or the waste basin.
1t may need a few more spokes to it's
wheels and an additional spring, and, per.
haps, will have to be taken to ths work
shop. But, if it does, there is plenty o.
time between this and the next presidential
election to put it in perfect repair. We
still have hope that Mr.. Cleveland is the
boy to superintend the job. But, if he is
not, perhaps God will raise up a |. adler for
the people before their cause is wholly lost.

Silver stands firm at ST. or is within
fraction thereof. The continued hostility
to the metal by successive Republican ad
ministrations, aided by two or three Re
publican papers published in silver produc

OF silver coinage have failed to down" the
white metal. Against these combined in.

party it is still the money OF the people.

~ ~ ne and Edmunds at Outs.

The refusal of Mr.. Blaine to speak to Mr.
Edmunds or to take his proffered hand, at the
bier Of Mr.. Arthur, on Sunday afternoon last,
in one of those social anomalies that shock
the public sense of propriety, and give occa
sion for invidious criticism by their respective
friends. To our apprehension there was
wrong or mistake on both sides. Only the
dov before, letter of Mr.. Edmunds had been
nnblisbed in which he had taken occasion to
sneak of Mr.. Blaine as dishonest. With such
an oninior of Mr.. Blaine, it is q marvel how
-,fr-aould rise from his seat, as the latter en-
tered the room, and advancing towards him
extend his hand. Mr.. Blaine looked him IN
the eve and neither took his hand nor uttered
n word of recognition. And this untoward
event derives greater Importance from the
fact of happening in the house OF mourning
and between two gentlemen OF the hgnest
distinction. 1t would seem, however, that
such persons are as much the subjects OF hu-
man passion and frailty as the most humo
and uncultured people in the land. These
gentlemen had previously been at enmlty WIN
each other. Mr.. Edmunds had not favored
Mr.. Blaines nomination, and the latter had
mt favored Mr.. Edmunds' reelection to the
II. s. Senate. It is unfortunate, however,
that this exhibition of i'll feeling should have
taken place at the time and under the circum-
stances which it did. 1t widens the breach
between the two principals themselves, ana
must ALLEVIATE from Mr.. Blaine very many OF
his former supporters, who are friends OF Mr..
Edmunds. With such men as Mr.. Edmunds
and Mr.. Conklingin hostility to HIM, together
with MANY other prominent Republicans, he
cannot afford to part with many more OF the
Orominent men of his party if he ever expects
to reach the goal of his ambition.

TT, and many voted for Baker,

Jnepub4 n nominee, merely to reduce
81 Morrison's majority, not to defeat him.
= There is evidence, says the Daily Macs,
q. that plot was laid among the leaders of the
knights of Labor, probably at the Richmond
convention. to humiliate Morrison, Speaker
Carlisle, William L. Scott and Frank Hurd,
and make them feel their power. The fact
that several of the leading Protection journals,
such as the Philadelphia Press, published,
without scarcely any returns at all, the morn
ing after the election, that Hurd and Morrl-
son we're defeated and that Carlisle was pro-
badly beaten, shows that the scheme was
well.known among the Protectionist and that
it was also known how well the plot had been
laid.
Besides what was spent by the Republican
district and county committees to defeat Col.
Morrison, Jarrett tits said, distributed not
less $50, 900 to accomplish the same object.
If the Knights of Labor were not deceived
by the alluring theories of the benefits of pro-
lection, they might see at once its ill effects.
What better evidence do they want, when
they find themselves, after about twenty-five
years of high protective tariffs, barely able to
live on their meagre earnings, and the manu-
facturers able to contribute immense sums to
carry elections. As to themselves, they are

Though the earthquake shocks at Charleston
gave occasion for good deal of speculation
on the causes of seismic phenomena, an au-
thoritative and generally ineligible summary
of the conclusions of geologic science upon
that interesting subject is still needed. This
task is now to be performed by Major J. w.

in The Forum for December.
