ing that an increased Army would
be used by Capital against Labor,
and Senator Conger took occasion
during the debate to make a Yio-
lent and malicious wave of the
bloody shirt. This was expected,
however, when the narrow mind
ed, partisan Senator from Mich.
obtained the floor. He INDUCES
in irrelevant shirt talk whenever
an opportunity offers, regardless
of time or place.
Members on both sides Of the
House are discussing the political
situation very seriously The
Democrats, almost to man, when
speaking conhdentially express
feal that they will lose the House
by the next election. The con-
seratiye men are not blaming 1t
upon the administration, but are
inclined to treat it as beyond the
Presidents control, saying that the
situation Of affairs is brought
about by u combination of circum-
stances The men who take this
view of affairs are, of course, not
the spoilsmen of the party who
blame it-sA on the civil service re-
form policy. They are men who
took deeper into the question, to n
great extent they look upon the
bad condition of the party as the
natural result to follow immed,-
ately upon the heels of victory
which involves 50 much RESPONSE
bility as the control of the natural
government, when there must, Ct
necessity, be many conflicting
views as to how the newly acquired
power should be exercised They
lay the responsibility for the exist
ing state of things upon the want
of harmony in the party outside of
the White House as much as upon
the disappointment over the off :
ces. There are many who hold
that both the party and their
President are in the wrong, mas
much as neither is willing to yield
anything to the other. They hold
that there must be mutual con-
eession and the party leader must
bring themselves to understand
that Mr.. Cleveland has tbs party
interest at heart us much as they
have, differing only as to the best
plan Of guarding them, and the
President must learn to look upon
the party leader in the same way.
They say it is time to stop sulling
and to begin some action,

THE Mexican pension bill pass
ed the House of Representatives
last week by a vote of l59 to 81.
There is little doubt it will go thro'
the Senate without trouble, and
thus will the gallant old soldiers,
many of whom will find this most
welcome -4aslGtauce, receive a
measure Of justice which has been
entirely too long deferred. The
text of the bill is as follows:
That the Secretary of the Inte-
rior be directed to place the names
Of all the surviving officers, sol
diers and sailors who enlisted and
served in the war with Mexico for
any period during the years 1915
1916, l747 and 1913, and were
honorably discharged, and their
surviving widows, on the pension
roll, mt the rate of IS per month
from and after the passage Of this
uct during their lives.
Sec. ?. That the Secretary Of
the Interior is directed to make
such rules and regulations as ale
necessary TO carry this act into af-
feet; provided, thnt where it shall
appear that a discharge is lost
secondary evidence may be per
mitted, and where it shall appear
an applicant has received a land
warrant, that shall be sufficient
evidence on an honorable dis
charge, unless the evidence shows
that he procured it by fraud, and.
provided further, that this act
shall not apply to persons under
political disabilities.

The first order will be composed
of 100 members and the second of

Our county judge turns up in
the whisky organ this week with
an ingenious and rather respecta-
BILE article in which he seeks to
justify his action in regard to our
license question. His style is
quite in contrast with that of our
profane Clerk and shows that at
least he recognizes the rights of
other people to differ with him ;
but, while he perhaps covers most
of the ground which can be cover
ed he leaves several of the main
points still untouched.
As to the influence welded by
Clerk Watkins our opinion was
formed upon the actions and con-
versation of that individual both
before and during the trial of the
matter in question; that opinion
will probably remain when both
these officers have ceased to act as
such, and is held by at least a ma
jority of those who were present
during the progress of the case.
We expected both parties to deny
the existence of this influence, and
therefore are neither surprised
nor shaken in our convictions.
| Judge Curnutt conclusively
proves that to err is human, and
would excuse his mistake upon
this ground. While for reasons
sufficient to us we have been led
to doubt his motives, we have new
er intimated that his decision III
the abstract was a crime. BY no
means; and had he stopped there
the TINES might have believed
with him that said decision was
an honest mistake.
He has nothing however to say
concerning his grounds for grant
ing license in the face of an appeal
which the Temperance people had
taken in order to secure what they
conceived to be justice. Is it Gus
tomary for lower Courts to fore
close judgment and sell a man out
before action is taken upon I'M APP
peal from said judgment? Would
it be just TODD this? And yet this
is exactly the spirit of what our
Judge has done in this instance. He
seems proud to think that Judge
Pittman was unable TO revoke the
license SO granted, although he sal
and listened to the Judge when he
remarked that evidently our peo-
pie had been aggrieyed, but il
seemed that there was no legal
remedy for their grievance. This
is whore the great injury was done
If Judge Curnutt had refused to
f. grant license, ms he should have
done, until the appeal was settled
no grievance would have been ere.

A FLOATING COFFIN.
An Examination OF the Wrecked Whaler
shows IA Criminal Disregard of Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 20.
Thousands of people visited the wreck of
the whaler Atlantic on the beach yesterday
None of the 2l sailors, still missing, has been
found, although the beach has been searched
for miles.
The investigation of the causes which led
to the disaster will be interesting. The At
lantic was fair sample of the vessels com
posing the large whaling fleet which sails out
of San Francisco. She looked as seaworthy
as any of the feet, but as she lies on the
beach broken into splinters it is plain that
she is floating coffin. The surf broke her
to pieces as if she had been stuck together
with glue One can pull the ring bolts out
OF her rotten tmbers. The shattered boats
show some criminal disregard of life. The
boards of which they, are made are of the
poorest material, loosely stuck together with
the cheapest nails and painted over to hide
the defects. A prudent man would not Sc
lect the boats for a duck hunt on a pom /.
much less for whaling expedition in the

McQUADE SENTENCED.

VIII be Taken 10 Stag Sing Wednesday
or Thursday.

New YORK. Dec 90.
The last act in the McQuade drama seemed
to have even more interest for the public
than the scenes of the Trial. This morning
the court house of general sessions was
densely packed. The other "boodlers" were
conspicuous by their absence. McQuade
was 10 his old seat and very quietly waited
for his senterce. When he court was
opened, Newcomb asked that the proceed
lngs OF Friday be read. The request was
granted.
After the reading General Tracy said We
move the arrest of sentence because the in
drctment was on insufficient grounds and the
evidence was not sufficient To connect the
defendant with the crime charged.
In pronouncing sentence the Recorder told
Alderman MeQuade his tate was the inevita-
bic result Of ill-gotten gaius | would advise
you to give it up and pay back to the city the
money which you have received, and have
no doubt it would work to your benefit. The
sentence of court is that you be confined in
the State prison at hard labor for term of
seven years, and that you pay fine of $500.
McQuade listened to the sentence without
evincing any emotion. At its close he sat
down, turned Immediately with business like
air and entered into conversation with Gen.
Tracy. After the sentence was given the
audience dispersed. McQuade went out with
his keeper and his faithful brother who stood
by his side throughout the trial. On the way
to the Tombs All immense crowd followed the
convicted alderman and his keepers but made
no hostile demonstration.
McQuade will be given few DAYS to look
after his business. He will be sent TO Sing
Sing, Wednesday or Thur day. Meanwhile
Lawyer Newcombe will take steps toward
securing stay of proceedings.
