Workingmen In Congress.

The fact that man who. until recent
ly. drove an ice wagon has been elected
to Congress from one OF the New York
districts should not be regarded as very
extraordinary, and yet the effect of lis
announcement will, in most minds, be
a feeling of surprise.
Although, in our theory Of govern
ment, wealth is not requisite for p0.
lilical prefermeDt. nor The lack of it a
bar to obtaining Office, vet the actual
practice has in so many Instances be-
lied the theory that. in the popular
mind, riches and office-holding are
usully associated. Doubtless the popu-
lar idea is greatly exaggerated. In all
probability the larger proportion of
members of the lower House of Con
gress are men in quite moderate cir
cumstances, and the plutocrat Repre-
sentative and even the millionaire Sem
ators are less numerous than is i'm
agiDed.

Montana Democrats Arc Firm.

Il 1t is to be noted that the Democratic
Senators do not qualify taking the oath.
Should they do SO aud go into session, il
would be'evident policy for the Repub-
licans to give them the organization of
the Senate in order to get the Leglsla-
ture into shape that il could go through
the forms of the election OF Senators.
In tins the Republicans would vote
their illegal members. and give ma
lority to their candidates for Senators.
Unless the Democrats propose to aban-
don their rights, they cannot afford to
organize the Senate.

Attempted Usurpation In Montana.
New York Star.1


The latest makeshift OF The Rspubli-
can revolutioniss in Montana is to have
the Lieutenant Governor. in the alb
sence of the Democratic Senators. count
himself as one of the members of the
Senate. declare the presence of a quo
rum of that body, and proceed to bLsi-
ness. as if the Senate were duly organ.
lzed.
Politically. the elected Senate is
equally divided. and by thus importing
the Lieutenant Governor into the list of
quorum members. it is hoped to seize
tie power that belongs to a majority of
the Senatorial district.
Tue Democratic Senators absent them
selves because their presence would be-
used TO give couDtenance to illegal
action Of the whole Legislature by max
ing up JOINT convention with an uu-
lawfully constituted Assembly COM
posed of the elected Republicans aud
the late Republican candidate IN tho
Silver Bow districts who were defeated

Memorable Fires.
New York Tribune. ]

November 1889. and especially the
closing week of the month, will be
memorable fer its fires. The contrasts
between the fires in Lynn and Boston
and that in Minneapolis are striking.
In the Eastern cities large extent of
territory was burned over in each case.
but there was no lose Of human life. 10
Minneapolis only single building
suffered from the flames, but probably
a score of lives were sacrificed. The
construction of the burned build
ing was obviously faulty. The stairway
was narrow, the single fire escape in
adequate. and the structure, though
nominally fire proof. when put to the
test was far from being so. In fact. its
faulty condition attracted notice three
wears ago, and important changes were
suggested, but nothing in the way Of
improvement was really undertaken,
Either the owners or the city authori
ties made a grave mistake in not having
the neesful repairs made in time to
prevent the catastrophe of Saturday
night.

In a general way. it seems likely that
the Yves, will have a similar share Of
committee appointments than under
the Speakersbip Of Carlisle, Democrat,

York and Pennsylvania will have a
larger share. THIS is not only just, but
expedient from party point Of view.

SALT WATER AND GAS.
Excitement at Saltwater Over the
Finding of Gas Vein.

An eruption at the natural gas we'll,
Saltwater, shortly before 10 o'clock
Wednesday night, created considerable
furry about town and has given some
thing of boom to the gas company's
stock, which heretofore has been below
par. Recently, by the giving way of
machinery. the drill and 1000 feet of
rope were lost in the bore. Efforts to
fish up the rope by means of a spear
were successful Wednesday night, and
on the lifting of the rope, which had
become tightly packed upon itself at
great depth in the casing, the act
was followed by tremendous guSh of
salt water, which for three minutes
spouted to a height of seventy feet, an
escape of what is supposed to have
been natural gas briefly following the
subsistence of the water. The oc-
curence was quite generally re-
garded as an evidence that
a formidable gas vein had been
reached. Judge Nethaway, one of the
most prominent stockholders in the en-
terprise, said yesterday that he would
find immediate purchasers at Sc per
share for all stock offered, and also pro-
posed TO buy for another party, at $40 per
share, fifty of the eighty shares owned
by the head driller, but the latter de-
ciined, saying that his confidence had
led him to just refuse the same amount
per share for his entire holding. One
theory given as accounting for the
demonstration at the well is that the
rope had merely damned the slowly es-
Gaping gas from insignificant veins pen
etrated heretofore by the drill unno-
ticed. Another is that the conclusion
consequent on the drills great fall at
the time OF the accident made slight
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-01-11

fissure in stratum covering such
reservoir of gas as the stockholders
are looking for, and have now at
hand. A third notion prevailing
slightly is that the water was thrown to
such a height merely by the release OF
air suddenly compressed by the light
ming descent of drill and rope. How
ever. confidence in the outlook is greatly
increased among the projectors, and as
soon as the water can be pumped from
the casing, and the latter (Which was
broken by the fail of the drilD can be
repaired. drilling will be resumed. The
hole is now about 1900 feet in depth.
Great interest Is shown i'll future de-
velopments.
The great delay in the receipt Of the
st. Paul morning papers yesterday was
occasioned by wreck on the Omaha
line half mile east of Lake Elmo. A
regular freight, west bound, had stopped
to repair an accident to the engine. and.
it is claimed, no flagman was sent back
to warn a North Wisconsin special,
which collided with the rear Of the
other train. Several cars were COM
pletely wrecked. The accident oc-
CURED at 5 o'clock a. m. and the track
was cleared soon after noon.
Mr.. John Nunan, guard at the state
prison, and Miss Tillie Evans were mar
ried Wednesday evening by Rev. Pat
rick A. McCarren, assistant pastor OF
st. Michael's church, Charles w.
Nunan, of st. Paul, brother of the
groom, and Miss Catherine Doran at
tending as groomsman and bridesmaid.
Albert Hasinger, one of the convict
crew engaged in filling in at the rail-
way trestle at the foot of Nelson street,
was accidentally precipitated from the
timbers there yesterday and fell dis
tance of twenty feet to the ice on the
lake. Fatal internal injuries were, it is
feared, inflicted.
Three young sons of respectable par
entS were in police court yesterday,
charged with stealing whisky from the
cellar of FOSS' saloon on North Second
street. Sentence was suspended.
A special term and an adjourned ses-
sion of the November term of the dis
trict court will be held Tuesday, when
Judge McCluer expects to set court
cases for trial.
A. M. Kiehle. who during his absence
arranged to take the road commercially
for an Eastern house, returned yester-
day from his former home in New
York.

Chicago, Jan. Ito E. P. Ripley, General
Manager-Dear Sir: The inclosed is a copy
of the communication which l was directed
to give to the committee of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, who
have been in conference with us to-day, and
which was accepted by them, and they have
declared the strike settled 1t is important
that no question should arise as to the good

intention that there should be no opportunity
for such question.
As to the meaning of the word available"
desire to say that when it becomes neces
sary to employ men outside of those now
in the service, care must be taken to con-
slider all the qualifications that go tomake up
availability. including experience and
familiarity with our surroundings and rules.
In short, that the very best are to be selected,
regardless of personal relations, or preju-
dices for or against any men or class of men.
1t should furlner be fully understood that the
