THE process OF unseating Democratic
members of Congress and iputting Re-.
publicans not elected in their places,
says the Harrisburg Patriot. goes meri.
ly on. 1t will not be long before the
Republican majority of eight will be
tIebled.
The case of Featherstone VS.. Cate,
from Arkansas, is the last one of these
outrageous performances. The testi>
mony taken in the case did not sustain
the allegations of intimidation and
fraud made by the contestant. Not a
scintiila % evidence was there to show
that the return of Cate ought not to
stand. A ballot box which he used to
suppress votes was brought before the
COMMITTEES, but there was no evidences
that it had been used at the election.
The case o: the contestant was so fimsy
that four Republican members voted
against ordering the previous question.
The majority for Cate, Democrat, was
l,34S. but II it had bsen 13,34S Con-
gress which has the gall to follow a
political hound like Thomas b. Reed
would not have hesitated To unseat
him.
It is u very pretty crop, indeed. that
the present Republican leaders are SOW
ing. Il will spring up and bear fruit,
in good time, never fear The whirli.
gig OF politics always has its revenge.

HaytI in hot Water.

Sooner or later the Haytian Repu5lic
Will be IN trouble again. The war
which ended few month ago in the
victory of II HippO;yte did not mend the
abuses which have made HaytI an arena
for revolutions since the end of The las:
century. The only hope apparently for
Hayti is that she may pass into the
hands of some strong Government able
and willing to rule with justice and for
Hayti's real interests. That the Hay
tian blacks are unable TO govern them
selves has been proven very clearly
since they began to try TO do so.
This is not entirely the fault of the
African population. who are descended
from the slaves imported by the Span
iards at the opening of the sixteenth
century, 20 take the place of the two
million OF aborigines whom Columbus
found there and civilization wiped out

nothing but the cruelty, rapacity and
senselessDess of the Spaniards, French
and English, who in turn held the
island. II was simply haven for ad-

had there.
Miss Case awakened with a art. and
on seeing her predicsment fell at the
policeman's feet. Then she became
rational and accompanied him to the
station. There she WAS given proper
clothing, and told the Sergeant she re-
membered nothing since retiring TO her

she was escorted to her residence.

Gambling IN Ice.

The condition of the ice crop in the
upper Hudson River region is matter
OF serious concern to dealers who have
already made their contracts, at ex-
tremely high 6gures, with producers on
the Kennebec and elsewhe in the
East.
Cheap ice from northern New York
means disaster to great many specula-
tors who have proceeded in the belief
that March would be as open a month
as Was January or February.
The Ice in Lake Champlain, for i'm
stance, Is from nine to fifteen inches
thick. The Press and Knickerbocker
reports that within two weeks fifty
seven new ice houses, and az many more
ice stacks. have been built at the lake,

or contracted for amounting altogether
to from eight hundred Thousand to a
million tons.
The lake and neighboring ponds are

Would Embarrass Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 10.-At
the convention to-day OF the State pen.
sion association Harrison and the Re-
publican pension policy were roundly
denounced. Colonel Tom Bennett of
Richmond was particularly severe upon
the Administrations backwardness in
passing service pension law. He re-
lated how he had introduced resolu-
tions at a Republican Conveation, and
how Secretary Hslford had beseeched
him to withdraw them, as they would
embarrass Harrison's campaign for the
Chicago nomination. He concluded by
saying he would not hesitate now, If be
had the opportunity, TO embarrass Mr..
Harrison's administration. He con-
cluded by saying: 81 hope this admin
istratIOn will give as justice. II NOT,
we will give it justice.n
a. L. towers, treasurer of tie asso-
citation and an old dyed in the wool Re-
publican, was also very outspoken. He
said Indiana was getting more iudivid-
usl pensions than any other State, but
IL was because the State was close. "A
mere trick OF the administration, :" he
said. We ale tired or this d-fool
policy.n

10 1889. Reports have been received
FROM lJ4 roads, operating II. .O46 miles,
whose earnings aggregated $3.50 AIS, $40
and net S2SS, ,273, ,6S2. This Is a gain Of
S42 S65. 029 in gross over 1888, more than
three quarters OF which was net gain.
In other words, the Improvement in
gross earnings was 81 per cent, while
IN net it was over 12i per cent.
This generally favorable exhibit for
1889 is supplemented by reports for
January, 1890, which are equally en-
coursging and gratifying. Reports
from 154 roads for thst month show
over l3 per cent. gain in gross earnings
over the eorrespondings month OF 1899.
The reports for February are likewise
surprisingly good. For the first week,

third week 81 roads increased over l55

A Brief Record Of n treat Conspiracy.

Montana, at its initial State election,
/ chose a Democratic Governor and Le-
4 gisIature as re urred by the officials OF
the various localities Immediately after
1 the voting.
When It was discoyeIed that the SEN
ate was equally divided. a plot was con-
| trived to convert the Democratic ma
! jority in the House into a Republican
majority, in order to secure two Rspub
llcsn United States Senator'S The son
of the President and other Republicans
influential with the Federal Admins
tration were among the early abettors
of this scheme, the method of which
was to change the representation of
county by throwing out the vote of
strongly Democratic precinct.
The attempt TO impeach the correct
ness of the returns N the Tunnel Pre-
cipct of Silver Bow County failed so
utterly as. in truth. TO establish the
opposite of The Republican pretense and
to prove that the vote was correctly
counted as honestly cast. Tais was
judicially established in a case tried in
the new State Court, in which. not
withstandIng the Republicans expecIa
tiou that the decision would be in their
favor through partisan bias, a local Off
ciai was sustained in place on the
ground that The Democratic vote of
Silver BOw-the same by which the
Legislators were chosen-was in all re-
spects legitimate and accurate. In
point of fact no one seriously preteDds
that the Republicans carried the county
or that the voters of Montana did not
choose a Democratic majority for the
popular branch of the Legislature.
The Republicans who ask aGmit.ance
to the United States Senate as from
Montana, notwithstanding the certifica-
tios of the Governor that they have 40
just or legal claim. rest their case alb
sslutely upon the assertion of the
patent fals-hoOd that the Legislature
WAS Republican on J1int ballot. These
preiensions have no other foundation
whatever than this nOtuTious and judi
ciaIly branded Justification.
In the face Of this record, and with
out consideration Of the suggestion that
the matter be tested by ano her vote al
the election of this year. the Repubii-
can msiOri OF the Committee on
Privileges and Elections has voted 10
award the two seats for the State 70
the fraudulent Republican claimants.
The Committee guilty of this unmiti~
gated Outrage against law, truth, just
ice and popular rights is appropriately
headed by HoaT ot Massachusetts,, the
inventor Of The Great Na'iOnai Gerry

there are enough fair. clear minded and
