Hon. T" Matthew Stanley Quay is a
Republican United States Senator, tho
head of the Republican party organ
ization. and Messrs. Garrison and
Dudley are his lieutenants, recognized
representatives of the Republican
party acting for it under its authority.
To the work of these three men it is
very largely indebted for its new lease
of power. and what they have done
already is a fair indication of what it
may be expected to do. The campaign
for the Presidency, conducted by this
trio, was so notoriously corrupt that it
is not easy to be surprised at any thing
that develops concerning it, but it is
impossible for people, Republicans or
Democrats, who have any sense or de-
cency left. not to be shocked on learn

Quay, Dudley and Clarkson.

The complaint of Funk & Wagnalls,
publishers of the Prohibition organ
called the Voice. charges upon Quay,
Clarkson and Dudley the theft Of that
journals subscription lists, for pur-
poses of the recent campaign. The
exposure covers nine columns of the
Voice, and alleges that Dudley, Clark
son and Quay bribed employees of the
Voice with money, and promised them
positions under the Government if
Harrison should win. These a1lega-
tions, if brought home, would have
two good effects. It is we'll. in the
first place, that many proofs OF Dud-
ley's villainy should be forthcoming
in order that the people should aban-
don the idea that Dudley is prosecuted
for political reasons. He has been a
rogue since 1880. and the hypocrites
of the Republican party, like Har-
rison, Sherman, Hoar, Boutwell, and
the whole canting tribe, have honored
him for it Tho more valiant he grew
as q briber and suborner the farther
back he walked into the council cham
bers of the party whose corruption
funds he discussed. It is well, in the
second place, that the gap should
widen between the Republican and
Prohibition parties. II she Voice
should convict Quay, Clarkson and
Dudley of the crime now charged it
would be difficult for the bribers to
stay in authority for more than one
term The corruption which has sci
in is too gross and palpable to be toll

Bees in New Zealand.

A considerable quantity of German
red clover is annually imported into
New Zealand, where it fourishes, but
has not hitherto ripened sufficiently to
yield seed for reproduction. This has
been explained by the absence of those
fructifying insects which, it is well
known, contribute so much in Europe
to the propagation of many kinds of
plants. In 1885 a parcel of one hun
dred wild bees was imported from
England, and set free in the neighbor-
hood of Lyttleton. They multiplied
greatly, spreading over considerable
district, and already the farmers near
'Lyttleton were able last season to
gather and make use of clover seed
from their own fields.-London Times.

agent The theft Of mail lists and
other documents from the Prohibition
paper, the New York Voice. has been
fixed on the campaign committee by
the confessions Of the clerks bribed to
do the stealing and by letters from
Dudley surrendered by them. The ac-
cessories of the committee In the theft

Another incident shows how, his
party estimates him. He has just re-
ceived q letter from Los Angeles. Cal,

spiracy and warning him that all the
others who may claim to have origin
ated it practice a fraud upon him,
upon the Republican party and upon
you. sir, if they come asking recogni-
ton [oAfce1 because of such alleged
service"
1t is hard to imagine any thing more
base than the lie told the British Min
lister; more treacherous than the breach
of his confidence, or more scoundrelly
than the publication of the letter OBJ
tanned by the conspirators. as if it
were manly Americanism to induce a
foreigner by fraud and trickery to take
part in an American campaign. The
conspirators, however, believe that
they have deserved so well of Harrison
that they have only to convict
themselves of their villainy to
insure their reward. Instead of
concealing their share in the
plot. they glory in it. Instead of leav-
ing the country to escape the scorn
and contempt of their fellow-citizens,
they court the applause of their fellow
Republicans for an act of baseness
without precedent in the politics of the
United States, and to make a fitting
climax for it all they write to the Re-
publican President-elect warning him
that the claims on his gratitude pre-
sented by other scoundrels for this
particular piece of scoundrelism do
them an Injustice! .4 13 p lssH r..

Of the American Gaslight. on
nj Toronto, during the discussions upon
che remedies to be employed In cases
where persons were suffering from the
Inhalation of gas. It is not uncommon
Gor the workmen of the gas companies,
In looking for leaks or digging up
broken pipes, TO be overcome by the
gas, and, according TO the accounts of
che treatment to which they are sub
1ected by the surrounding philanthrop-
lists. they seem to be fortunate if they
escspe with nothing more than a tenn
poraxy loss of cousciousnesa = One Of
the participants in the discussion had
had the prudence TO ask advice on the
subject from q physician. who gave
him sensible set OF rules consisting
mainly in directionssto give the sufferer
plenty of air and admfnister = little
brandy and water, assisting respiration
by artificial means if necessary. An
other one had heard, also from a ply
stefan, that sweet oil might be admins
tered with advantage. and had used
this remedy in many cases with excel
lent results, which he attributed to
the efficacy of the Oil, when swallowed,
in <'lubricating the breathing appara-
sSus. SO that recovery followed rapidly.
Another gentleman had had a some
what different experience. On one
occasion, when seVen Of his men
were found insensible in trench
from an escape of gas. he had
them carried into purer atmosphere,
-sprinkled with water, and dosed with
whisky and water until they were
sufficiently restored to eat, and then
gave them apples. After they had
devoured these, it was found that ''the
acid OF the apples Immediately started
the gas out of their stomachs." and
they were soon able to drink some
coffee and walk home. "A similar
method of .'starting the gas out of
their stomachs" Of bis men with acids
had been tried by third member,
who, however, used vinegar instead of
Che acid Of apples. The fourth remedy
MENTIONED was not an amateur de vice,
but the prescription of a physician,
who was said to have on two occasions
treated men overcome with gas by
injecting carbonate of ammonia.
Whether this application was intended
TO -'lubricate the breathing apparatus
Or 40 start the gas out Of the stom-
ach" we are not informed, but it is not
surprising to hear that the patient
was i'll for eight Or ten days after
wards. A much-disputed point, that
of the relative poisonous effects of
coal and water gas, was touched upon
by one Of the speakers. who said that
the effect OF the Inhalation OF water
gas was ga very serious matter in
deed" and entirely different" from
the effect of coal gas. In his practice
extra precautions were taken in deal
ing with water gas, and men did not
recover from the effect of inhaling it
for some weeks.-American Architect.
