Strange little episodes are sometimes
witnessed in the House. There was one
a day or two ago that was regarded as
amusing, The VirtuOus Mr.. Randall and
the severely economical Mr.. Holman had
slight disagreement. This was rather
strange, because usually they are very
good friends.
Mr.. Randall was trying to push the sun
dry civil bfll through the House at break
neck speed. debate was going on rela-
tive to some amendment, and Mr.. Randall
wanted it closed in fifteen seconds. Mr..
Holman wanted sixty seconds in which
to speak his mind about the amendment.
They both became stubborn, and the
question of time was put to a vote. Ran
dali won, and Holman, not satisfied, de-
manded quorum.
The two men were appointed tellers. OF
course one had to stand on the Republi-
can side of the aisle and the other on the
Democratic size. They both tried to get
on the Democratic side. This created some
amusement. Mr.. Holman, thinking prob
ably that as Mr.. Randall had recently
stood up with the Republicans TO defeat
the consideration of a Democratic tariff
bill, he would fee more at home on the
Republican side, undertook to push him
to that side. The Pennsylvania, under
standing, perhaps, the significance of
Mr.. Holman's act-that is, that it needed
only a slight push to land him in the Re-
publican party-showed unmistakable
symptoms of anger, and with flashing
eyes, the report says, said
to Mr.. Holman; Don't you try to crowd
me, sir" Both men by this time were
pretty mad-so mad, indeed, that they
omitted the usual shake of the hand
which is always INDUCED IN by tellers be-
fore the count begins. Mr.. Randall ap-
pears to be getting quite sensitive over
his alliance with the Republicans in tariff
matters. He had better change his course,
or the Democratic party will undertak e
to push him over on the Republican side,
and it will likely be more successful than
Mr.. Holman was.

Democratic Indications.


The indications that the masses OF the
Democratic party are satisfied with the
administration OF President Cleveland
and that they favor a reduction of the
tariff to a revenue basis are unmistaka-
bic. In our dispatches yesterday we
published the substance of the platforms
adopted by the Iowa and Arkansas Dem
ocrats at their State conventions on
Thursday.
The sentiment Of the Democrats Of Iowa
with respect to the administration and
the tariff may very safely be taken as the
sentiment of the Democracy of the North
west relative to these two subjects,
and with equal safety it may be assumed
that the Democrats Of Arkansas are in
harmony with the Democrats of the
South when they announce their approval
Of the ADMINISTRATION course and fire
Morrison tariff bill.
The President hasn't sought to please
any particular section OF the country, and
hasn't attempted to strengthen himself
with Congressman or politicians by con-
ferring favorsupon them. He has simply
pursued a straightforward, honest course,
and has endeayored TO administer his
great office in the interest OF the people,
and not with the view OF securing re-
nomination. The people have not failed
to recognize the fact that Mr.. Cleveland
is a conscientious man whom they can
trust, and they do not fail to show their
appreciation Of him on all suitable &C.
casions.
The expressions OF the Arkansac and
Iowa Democracy show that the fight for
revenue tariff is going to be waged with
greater determination in the future.
! The opposition of few Eastern Demo
Gratis to the Avowed tariff policy OF the
Democratic party will not be regarded
with as much forbearance as it has been.
Those who believe in the Republican doc
| trine of protection Will not be permitted
to obstruct the Democratic party in its
Efforts to secure tariff reform. If they
cannot conscientiously sympathize with
those efforts they will not be permitted to
seek public Offices and hOnOrs in the name
Of the Democracy. They will be forced
to fall into the ranks OF those who carry
the protection flag.
The Democratic party might as well
abandon the fight for tariff reform as to
continue it with powerful enemies to that
reform in its counsel. The Democratic
masses hardly know what to think when
no effort is made to discipline d leader
who carries enough followers over to the
enemy to secure their party's defeat.
Every State, Congressional and county
Democratic convention throughout the
West and South which occurs this year
ought to speak out strongly in favor of
tariff reform. Such course would
sirens CITIZEN the party in Congress and win
converts from the protectionists
Harmony and enthusiasm are necessary
to success. Divided counsels threaten
disaster. If the party intends TO con-
tinue to contend for tariff reform it will
be better off without its protection con-
tingent than with it. A successful tariff
reform bill means quarter OF a century
of power for the Democratic party

A Queer Recommendation.

Even men VINO have the reputation OF
having plenty Of common sense do very
foolish things sometimes in matters con-
nectcd with politics. A day or Two ago
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
advised that the Item providing for the
continued collection of the records Of the
war be struck out OF the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill.
The course of the committee excited some
surprise, and when one Of its members
was asked about it he said that TIE com
mittee had been informed by somebody
tnat the cOmpilers of the records were
partial to papers which commended the
Confederate cause, and suppressed to
great extent those which tended to make
that cause odIous.
There was not any question OF economy
involved, because in the same bill the
committee inserted an appropriation,
about equal to that for the war records
which 1t struck out, to pay salaries OF
private secretaries for Senators.
1t is not improbable that Senator Logan
influenced the committee to act as it did.
1t is alleged that he was especially dis
DeNVAhNu " IN SOlbc cIlhl BldCCu III IuS
war records which is rather favorable to
Gen. Porter. There is nothing that is so
much calculated to excite Senator LOgan's
hostility as friendly word Tor Gen.
Porter.
He seems determined 10 do all he can TO
send only his view of the Porter case
down to posteIty. 1t is commented as
rather remarkable fact that W1en he was
addressing the Senate a few days ago on
the Porter bill he sent to the clerks desk
copy OF his book, 1.-The Great Couspira-
cy," and had the clerk read liberal ex-
tracts from a chapter in it which is de-
voted to the Porter case. In his speech
he had charged Gen. Porter with conspir-
ing with the Confederates, and ne had TIE
extracts from his book read to prove the
charge. II it were not known that Gen.
Logan loses his head as it were, when he
discusses the Porter case 1t would be
thought, doubtless, that he had the eX-
tracts read in the Senate in order to have
his book advertised through the Congress
sional Record.
There is no danger that provision will
not be made for the continued publication
OF the war records. The House will see
to it that an ample appropriation is made
for continuing the work

He Had to Do So.


From the Detroit Free Press.
Among the eXCursionlsts sitting on the City
Hall steps yesterday noon to eat luncheon
were young fellow who had a wIde-awake
look and Il glri in a pink dress who insisted on
holding his hand and looping over on his
shoulder Two or three gentlemen observed
the situation and halted for a second look
Their smiles were noted by the young man,
and he released himself and came over to them
and said:
gentlemen. let me explain. Did either one
of you ever live in the country"
NO" they replied in chorus
"Then you don't understand the country
girl. She requires to be loved after a certain
fashion. She wants practical realization Of

how much l adored her, beginning now and

men.
''Wheu city girl is in love she conceals the
fact, or tries to. The country girl is only too
proud to give it away. You saw MS squeezing
hands. You've got to squeeze country girls
hand about 80 often or she imagine you have
got mad about something

"You may have noticed that fed her crack

looked very silly 10 you, but that's another
phase OF country courtship. II you'd claw of

in chorus, and they lifted their hats to the

The frst-cass receiver is sometimes a
costly luxury as well as a necessity, as
the stockholders OF the Atlantic State
Bank Of Brooklyn have found out TO their
SORROW. When the bank went down with
the Metropolitan Savings Bank, it was
compelled to apply Tor IA receiver, although
the securities were generally held to be
worth every dollar Of their face value.
When the receiver closed up the affairs of
the institution, he declared dividend 81
D per cent. and turned in little bill of
$4,000. Now the stockholders are find
ing out that the East Tennessee bonds,
which the receiver sold Tor 81, are quoted
at %. This sale cost the stockholders a
clear loss Of 5000 The Peoria Decatur
bonds, sold by the receiver for 81, are now
bringing 10. Losses on other stocks show
that the same assets. If placed on the
market to-day, would realize a handsome
profit 10 the stockholders, instead of the
81 per cent. loss which they have been
7toUelled to bear.

The report OF the Republican part of
the Pan Electric Investigating Commit
tee has had quite a stirring up effect on
the New York newspapers.
1t seems that before the investigation
was begun the New York Times minated
that several of the leading New York pa
pers had sold their influence to the Bell
company. The newspapers to which the
Times referred kept very sharp lookout
on that Pan Electric investig alton, and
when il came out that the Times
had published reading notice for the
Bell Company, and had been paid 81 200
for it, they were wild with joy. Their
ov knew no bounds, however, when all
the reports eXOnerated all the papers
except the Times from the charge OF
having been improperly influenced by the
telephone companies. They took particular
pains to give that fact wide circulation.
and it was accompanied by such remarks
a. to lead the public TO believe that the
Times is a rather venal paper.
The Times attempts to get even with its
critics by showing that the editors OF the
sun and Tribune are the creatures of Jav
Gould. and that the Associated Press is
to certain extent controlled by Mr..
Gould
1t is probable that the Times would
have acted more wisely itit had not drawn
the Associated Press into the quarrel
which it has with other leading New
York papers. It is notorious fact that
neither Mr.. Gould nor the Western Union
mas any control over the Associated
Press. There are those who would like to
make the country believe that Mr.. Gould
sees all the dispatches the Associated
Press sends out, aud revises those which
do not suit him, but they have never been
able to get hold of any proof that would
sustain them in making a charge of that
kind.
When it is shown by proof OF any sort
that jay Gould has anything to do with
Associated Press dispatches it Will be
time enough to charge that he controls
them.

A Question for an Expert.

A rather interesting suit is in progress s
in New York city. Gen. Farnsworth,
who had an interest in the Bankers and
Merchants telegraph lines, of which the
Western Union somehow o. other got
control, is claiming 100000 as damages
from the Western Union.
A day or two ago Col. Bob Ihgersoll,
one of the attorneys tor Gen. Farnsworth
had the following little talk with A. S.
Brown, one Of the Western Union wit
nesses, who was giving his testimony;
Q.-You have saio that telegraph COM
pany that did not pay expenses was of no
account? A.--That's so.
Q.-lt takes hen three weeks to hatch
eggs; would you go to the hen on the
twentieth day and try to convince her
she was losing money, and that she had
better leave her nest? Ali she had
been sitting three years | would.
GLOW does 1t happen that the West
ern Union doesn't hatch out dividends?
Mr.. Choate--W What do you mean?
Col. ngers0ll-That the Western Union
has passed two dividends without paying
any.
The chief reason for referring to this
interesting bit OF testimony is TO advise
Col. lngersoll that when he wants to
know somsthing about the hen and egg
business he ought to call on r. b. Hayes,
VINO at one time occupied the White
House, but who is now occupied with a
hennery somewhere in OHIO. Mr.. Hayes
is an expert, and could tell whether or
not an attempt ought to be made to con-
vince a hen that she is not making money
il she fails to hatch eggs in twenty days.

The Augmentation Bills

Senator Edmunds' little talk 10 the SEN
ate about the delay of the House in pass
ing the appropriation bills will meet with
very general approval. Congress has
been in session seven months, and the APP
Precipitation bills are not yet disposed of,
and are not likely TO be for several weeks
A Joint resolution was necessary to en-
able the departments ofthe government to
keep open their doors and continue the
transaction Of public business.
When the appropriation bills, by n
change in the rules at the beginning OF
the present session, were divided among
half dozen committees, it was conf
IDENTITY asserted that they would all be
passed long before the close OF the fiscal
year, which ends June 80. Indeed,
one Of the arguments in tavor of a change
in the rules was that it would open a way
tor getting through with the appropria.
ton bills in the early part OF the session.
The bills, however, are about as far be-
hind as at any previous session. In fact,
it is alleged, they are further behind.
Unless Congress remains in session "A
month or more the Senate will not have
time to give them proper consideration,
and several of them are certain to be
dumped on the Presidents table al the
very last moment.
There should be some rule adopted by
age OF appropriation bills. The present
delay in passing them ought TO be con-
demned in the strongest terms.
