The locomotive shops of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad at Mt. Clare have re-
Gently completed four fine new locomo-
tiyes, said to be the largest and most
powerful ever built there. They have
54-inch boilers and 230 tlues. This
greatly increased number of tlues en-
ables the formation Of much more steam,
and hence greatly increases the work
ing power of the engine. The cylin-
ders measure IS by "a inches, and the
driving wheels measurs go inches. The
engines weigh fifty tons.

A Big Break The break on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal two miles be-
low Shepherdstown is not yet completed,
and it is thought that it will not be be-
fore Saturday evening. A large force
of hands have been at work on it, but
it was of such peculiar character that
the work was slow and tedious. The
break was caused by springs in the bot
tom of the canal and in the bank, which
gradually percolatcd the bank and
caused it to give away. An immense
hole was scooped out, being about
twelve feet below the bottom OF the
canal. Stone walls had to be built,
drains constructed to carry the spring
water off, aud then the immense hole
puddled and filled in. About fifty men
were at work OH Monday, and Boss
Brashears said it would take all this
week to complete the job.
The President and pa7master went
up the canal on Sunday, paying off the
hands for the month of April. They
had to make part of the trip in buggies.

Now that the obstructionist news
papers have safely passed the first spssm
of their agony, it may not be inappro-
pirate to suggest that the proposition
to repeal article thirts-two of the sched-
ule of the constitution is to be sub
mitted to a vote of the people. Ii ma
jority asks for its repeal, it will stand re-
pesled. Otherwise 1t will exist as bul.
wark behind which the timid may rally
in the hour of danger. The advocates OF
statehood do not contemplate the estab-
lishment of state government unless
the people want it done. Are our an.
easy brethren now calm enough to COM
prehand the situation?

Less than month ago bill was in
troduced in the house of representatives
by Congressman Merriman, democratic
member from New York, which read as
follows:
Be it enacted, ETC., that all claims
presented by any person or corporation
against the United States for loss or
damage resulting from the late rebellion,
which claims will require judicial de.
oision, be and are referred to the court
! of elaine, which shall have full power to
hear and determine them. That this
act shall take effect Immediately.
On Friday last Judge Fullerton, an
eminent New York lawyer, was heard
before the committee on war claims and
his remarks uncovered the intent of the
| measure to be the authorization of the
payment of the rebel war debt by the
people of the United States. Judge
! Fullerton's argument embraced the fol-
lowing points:
In the first place the government had
| no right or authority to say that sov.
| ereign state could e. and should not
| pay one of its obligations; secondly,
that the confederate states did not par
tIcipate in the ratification OF the amend.
ment to the constitution; which forbids
the payment of their obligation; and
thirdly IN arrogating to itself tho au.
thority, it assumes the responsibility oi
the debt and must pay it.
The speaker contended that the rebel
debt was an honest debt and must BE-
paid to the innocent holders of confed
crate bonds. This is the first move
towards carrying OUT the programme O.
the demoorasic party. All it lacks ii
full control of the government to con
illuminate its design. Tie question il

The Sioux Falls Prsss is anxious to
extract the Press and Dakotaian's g
opinion of the Harrison letter Our
opinion of the Harrison letter is
that it is no more bind
ing upon the people OF Dakota than
the action of the house committee ON
territories. The disposition of eastern
statesman to use the Dakota case, ac-
companied by ths weak subserviency
of our people, as powerful campaign
argument in the doubtful districts OF
the states does not strike us as q di-
version to which We should lend our
selves with a hearty amen. Dakota is
asked to make OF hereelf q bone of con-
tention, to be gnawsd by the angry dogs
of the strife, to be tossed hither and
thither in the melee and not to forget
for an instant that she is only an inert
bone-the play thing of politicians, who
will use her for what she ia worth and
then throw her up in the corner for
future reference. It seems to US that
the time has arrived when Dakota
should rise up and declare that she is nc
| longer bone-that she possesses blood
flesh. sinew and brain and ia an animate
creature. susceptible to the influences
of right and wrong. With due respect
for Senator Harrison, We are of the
opinion that he has no right to suggest
that an outraged people should tamely
bow their heads IN the presence OF rank
injustice and continue to submit when
submission takes them into the lowest
depths of humiliation. Senator Harrison
is but one man, honest in his Intentions
but liable to err. 1t is not necessary fol
Dakota to follow him blindly. Our owr
| judgments are of some value.

Chancellor of the German empire, greet
ing: When happy agreement was come
to over the Caroline Islands question on
conditions proposed by the United States,
we did not fail to convey our satisfaction
there as TO the knowledge of
the illustriOus Emperor of Germany. But
this feeling Of our heart we will not con-
ceal from you, most eminent Prince, who,
from your own Judgment and out of vol
untary resolution, were tie cause of this
difference being laid before us for settle
ment. We will willingly acknowledge
that If the many sided difficulties have
been solved, it Is In great part owing to
the zeal and cOnstancy with which you
have supported our work from first TO
last. We thank you, therefore, that ow-
irg TO your management the welcome OPP
pOrtunity was offered to us OF undertake

You have voluntarily followed your own

TWO SWELL DINNERS.
An Incident of Bonanza Mackay's Din
ner Not Told in the First Reports.

The influence OF good fellowship on
millions is potent. A few nights ago that
GENIAL optimist and bon vivant Herman
Oelrichs gave a dinner at the Hoffman
House. Like all his dinners, it was a
triumph Of gastronomic art, for Mir.
Oelrichs, who knows as much about
cooking as he does about steamships,
Yachts and athletics, devoted the whole
OK his attention 30 the terrapin and a
special preparation Of chicken which he
ad brought up from Maryland and which
lie regarded as staUe secret. Around
the table sat such aesthetic and abstem-
ious sayants as Amos Cummings aud
Tom OchiltIes. There were eight or nine
others, including large aud pompous
gentleman with red mOuSt2che, VITO
was urged to sing and whose voice WAS
invariably dOwned in enthusiastic APP
plause the very moment he began song.
When he satdrown the whole company IN
yariably shook him by the hand aud
drank his health in three rOnsing cheers.
IL chsnced that in an adjoining room a
small man. with a sort OF peeyish express
sion Of the mouth and without the
slightest grain OF animation, was also en-
tertaning q party OF friends. They sat
about the room stftly and talked about
such thrilling things as the revision OF
the tariff, the Bland silver bill aud the
Presidential succession. The host was
John W. Mackay, the great bonanza
millionaire. He and his guests sat and
talked in a desultory way, while the
bowls Of the Oelrichs dinner party came
through the closed doors. Finally the
fun grew so loud in the inner room that
Mr.. Mackay's principal guest, Roscoe
Conkilng, opened the door slightly and
looked in at the Oelrichs dinner party.
II was at the moment when Mr.. Cum
mings was making grandiloquent
speech. comparing the pompous gentle
man with the red m0ustsche TO Mario.
He ceased and the whole company broke
into cheer for Roscoe Conkling, and
NJ. Mackay and his millionaire guests
moved into Mr. Oelrichs' dining room and
joined the crowd Of jolly diners. IL would
have taken very strong inducement TO
have moved Mr.. Oelrichs' guests into Mr..
Mackay's rooms. So good fellowship is
sometimes stronger than millions.
