The second caucus of Democratic mem
bers of the House was productive of more
discreditable changes in the Mills bill, the
tendency being to restore the oppressive
taxes the bill was meant to reform. There
was widespread disposition on the part of
weakened Representatives to mutilate the
bill in any and every way, provided only
they could get concessions asked for by pro-
tectionist constituents. So far did the as
sault on the bill go that the members Of the
ways and means committee proposed TO re-
consider all amendments and vote on the
bill in its original shape. This may yet be
done. After few more blotches have been
impressed on the measure, and everybody
is disguised with the spectacle of the bill
being ruined in the hands of its professed
friends, motion to sweep all the amend
ments away will have fair chance of sue
cess. The platform of the national conven-
tion, which meets next Tuesday, may per-
haps give needed stiffness to the reform
backbone.

The Hon. w. C. P. Breckenridge, the
distinguished orator of the House and the
eloquent advocate of free trade, has been
beaten in a canvass for delegate-at-large to
the st. Louis Convention from the State of
Kentucky. We regret to hear this, as we
had been informed that it was he who was
to make the address in seconding the motion
of President Cleveland's nomination

We have not vet seen the text Of the judi
cial decision rendered in Washington Terri
tory last Friday, by which the act of the
legislature establishing female suffrage there
was declared unconstitutional. 1t is five
years since the right of women to vote in all
Territorial elections OF Washington Terri
tory was enacted into law According to
the reports published as far as came under
our observation the system has worked
smoothly and well.

.senator Wallace of Pennsvlyania at

Ex-senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, at
the recent convention at Harrisburg, dis
cussed educational qualification in a forci-
BILE manner. Pennsylvania, he observed, is
suffering from "the masses of illiteracy with
which we are now being gorged to feed the
demand for cheap labor. We are being
overrun with a population that does not as
simulate with us with rapidity, with a popu
lation that is ignorant and degraded, which
is soon to become the curse of our social
development and legitimate business pro-
gress." The remedy he had to suggest was
constitutional amendment restricting after
five years the acquisition of the franchise to
those who could read and write the English
language "No man" he said, "who now
votes anywhere should be deprived of that
right during his life, but we should coerce
him to educate his children, and put spur
on the head of every boy of sixteen and OF
every foreigner seeking to help govern us
by at once providing, by constitutional en-
actment, that, after five years, no new voter
should have that right who cannot read and
write the English language"

1t is evident that the General Assembly
of the Northern Presbyterian Church at
Philadelphia and o: the General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian Church at
Baltimore, that the union of these two
branches of Presbyterianism must soon be
brought about. There was at one time
some prospect that this object would be ac-
complished the present year, but it is now
unlikely that we shall see anything beyond
the advancement of the preparations for it.
1t may be taken for granted that the time
for sectional General Assemblies of the Pres

to come to an end.

A DANGEROUS FIRE.
The Building, Nos. 22e-224 Orange Street.
Entirely DESTROYED.

Entirely DESTROYED.
A fire immense in its possibilities took
place shortly after . o'clock this morning.
The building destroyed was the Delaware
Bakery Company's building, Nos 222 aud
224 Orange street. It is situated in the
midst Of the most combustible district
in the city.
The fremen, at the breaking out OF
this fire, had not yet left the other fire at
No. 222 King street, to which they had
been called before 1t took them only a
few minutes to reach the scene Of the
second eonhagration. The flames had
made considerable headway when they
were discovered issuing from the rear Of
the building The fire department had
some little difficulty in getting under way
as they had drawn their fires at the time
The fire had been in progress about half
hour when it broke through the roof and
after this it took but short time to get
the ere under control, and at $3.50 o'closk
this morning the flames were subdued
No damage was done TO the adjoining
buildings. At the time of the FIRE all OF
the horbes in one building were out on
, the road with the company's wagons, and
the building was comparatively bare, ex.
cept some machinery and hay. The tots
loss will be about $4,000 against which
there Is an insurance of only $1,000
The president of the company is DaviC
Lemon and this the third fire from which
4 he has suffered.
