EVERY day brings forward a new
candidate from the south for a position
inGeneral Harrison's cabinet. This
serves to show that the republicans of
hat section are not without material,
but most OF it will require to be care
fully inspected. This the president
elect a be depended upon to do, and
it is reasonably certain hat no such
politicians as Malone and Powell
Clayton will be seriously considered.
There should be no place anywhere
under the next administration for men
of that class.

THE corps of engineers which was
running a bogus survey for "a mythical
railroad in Iowa ana bleeding COM
munities under the promise of the loca-
ton of depots and round houses, illus
trates how easily people a be imposed
upon. The trick, however, is an old
one and has been tried with variations
time and again. The conf
dence game which this party
OF surveyors engineered in a small
way, railroads and construction COM
pnnies are playing on a magnificent
scale. They go into communities, map
out n road on paper, get large grants of
money, subsidies and lands and fail to
carry out their agreements. The most
profitable business is the building OF
railroads on paper so long as the COM
munities through which they are sup.
posed to run pay for them. 1t is useless
to warn people that they should not
allow themselves to be gulled by i'm
practicable aud visionary schemes. The
mere mention OF a proposed railroad is
sufficient TO send counties and towns
into a railroad craze and into a frenzy
Of speculation.

BURNING FARMERS, BARNS.
Series OF Incendiary Fires in Southern
Pennsylvania.

a Series Of Incendiary Fires in Southern
Pennsylvania.
LINEBoRo, Pa, Feb IA curious streak
of incendarism has lately made havoc of the
rich farming barns along the southern border
of this state. These fires have spread about
from pace to place, their origin being a mys-
terry. Now they are creating considerable
alarm
The first of these fires occurred Sept. 90,
1888, wllen the barn of William Myers, in
Mannheim township, lying west Of the Balti-
more and Harrisburg railroad, and about
equidistant from Summit and Glenville sta
tons, was burned. The manner of the fire
was mysterious, and it was supposed to be of
incendiary origin, but it gave no premonition
of what was to follow, and caused no special
alarm in the community.
Eighteen days afterward, on Oct s, the
barn of Chr istian K eifle, little further west,
was destroyed. That of Emanuel Heindel,
near Green Ridge, five miles from here, came
next, and then that of Benjamin Forty, a
mile and half northeast, was destroyed Nov.
Pa These were among the first instances OF
destruction. Following them is a long list of
barns set on fire by some unknown incendiary.
The success attending his efforts have led him
to send notices to those whose barns he in-
tends TO visit.
These notices are in the form OF letters
often, and again are simply chalked upon the
property itself. The farmer is advised to
clear his barn of produce and live stock,
which he generally does at once The barns
are then set fire to in some mysterious man
nar.

So little doubt is there than an extra session
will be called that the Republicans are be-
ginning TO prepare for it, They expect to
revise the rules at the outstart so that the
possibility of successful fiilbustering will be
reduced to a minimum. This will be done
early SO as to facilitate the consideration of
the numerous contested election cases now in
prospect. Tie proposition that meets with
most favor is one providing that when the
previous question is ordered, but two motions
shall thereafter be in order, one motion TO
adjourn and one motion to recomnit. II
both these shall be voted down, it shall be
construed as the win of the house that the
vote on the p eyious question shall proceed,
pending which no further dilatory motion
can be entertained by the chair Another
regulation that viii be avoided is the one
that prevailed during the greater part Of the
present session. namely, a fixed hour of adj
jouInment. This was the greatest stand by
that the flibusters had within the past year.
and the next congress will not likely be at
the mercy of the minority through the opera
lions of such rule.
