They Will Go as Far as They Dare.

The long delayed report Of the House
Committee on Rules, controlled by the lead
ers Of the Republican majority is expected
to-day or tomorrow. The issue which it
will make cannot be postponed much longer
Until the now set of rules is reported, specific
comment upon the tyrannical intentions
and arrogant partisanship of the majority is
premature
Some OF the recent decisions OF Speaker
REED indicate that he, at least is ready to
carry partisanship to the point whore it
challenges right and reason. Pending the
debate over the new rules, the House is un-
der common parliamentary law; and it is a
mild use Of words to say that Mr.. REED s in
depreciation OF the common law has been at
times violent and defiant.
Yet there is something almost respecta-
BILE in the vigorous and arbitrary assertion
OF the irresponsible power now welded by
the Speaker. 1t shows grit. 1t shows a
definite purpose. 1t shows u willingness to
pen a square fight for party advantage,
and to stand the consequences.
The majority will go Just as far as it dares
In the attempt to fortify its slender margin
OF control by means Of changes in the code
governing the practical operations of the
House. The minority will resist the effort.
For the time the Democratic side of the House
Is deprived of the invaluable services of
Mr.. RANDALL. one OF its two representatives
on the Committee on Rules. 1t is fortunate
that In his absence the undivided respon-
6ibility falls upon Democrat OF MIR. CAR
LIsLE's experience, ability, and courage.
The appearance of the majority report on
rules signed by Speaker REED, Mr.. McKIN-
LEY, and Mr.. CANNON, and of the minority
report from Mr.. CARLISLE, will be the signal
for the first real battle of the session.
But, oh. that SAM RANDALL could bear
his accustomed part in that buttle!

The influenza has been somewhat dignified
in the eyes Of the public by the recent
discovery that SCHILLER had it and GOETHE
wrote about it. In May, 1852, SCHILLER went to
Mannheim to see the second presentation OF
his Robbers" on the stage La grippe was
then making half Mannheim sneeze and
groan. After attending one performance OF
his tragedy SCHILLER hurried off to Stutt-
gart in the hope OF escaping the epidemic.
The day after his arrival there he wrote TO
DALBERo. manager Of the Mannheim Theatre:
Since coming here have more than paid for
all my pleasure with you by my sufrerings
from the horrible epidemic, which. to my un-
utterable disgust. has rendered me incapable
of work." At about the same time GOETHE was
complaining In letter to the Duke KARL AU-
GUST that the unusually warm weather had
become a standard topic OF conversation. just
as was the influenza O short time ago." The
great KANT dignified the grip by trying to
investigate its causes. He surmised that the
insects which were responsible for 1t had been
imported from China to Russia. whence they
had spread to the western part of the Continent

wanamaker and the Utica Post Omce.

The Postmaster-Gener recently sent a
detective to Oneida county with instructions
to investigate the management OF the Utica
Post Offlce under Postmaster BAILEY, We
suppose this Is the first step toward the
removal Of that meritorious public servant
and distinguished Democrat.
The report OF WANAMAKRR's inspector,
according TO Washington despatch in the
New York Herald, asserts that under Post
master BAILRY's administration some Of the
letter carriers have got drunk while on duty,
and ono Of the clerks has received In the
Post Offlce building visits from women Of
bad character. In general way, adds the
inspector, 1.-The conduct Of the Office has
been loose and irregular"
Tho charges which WANAMAKER's agent
has scraped up In Utica are Of a sort which
it Is difficult to meet and answer. There Is
only an indirect imputation upon Mr..
BAILEY himself. His reputation stands too
high in the community, and his efficiency as
Postmaster has been too thoroughly demon
strated for WAEAMARER to risk an attack on
that line. So the detective sent to make out
n case holds Mr.. BAILEY responsible for the
alleged immortality Of his subordinates.
There may be some foundation for tho
charges against the Utica letter carriers and
the wicked window clerk. The charges may
be lies and libels on those young men. The
intention on WANAMAKER's part is the same
in either case.
1t strikes US that OF all the underhand
methods which the present Postmaster
General has devised and adopted for getting
rid OF Democrats in his department, this
Utica business is about the most contemp-
tible. How much manlier it would have been
on WANAMAKERs part II he had proceeded
against Postmaster BAILEY on the ground
that the latter is an offensive partisan, hold
ing Office under Republican Administra-
tion and at the same time publishing an in
tluential and aggressive Democratic news-
paper. That would all be true.

railroad seems TO be over as far as Albany
is concerned. The closing scene was en-.
acted last night mt the Lark street rink,
when the men were advised TO get back ia
their places. Edward BOwan called the
meeting TO order, and was termed id
liar by two or three OF the audience by
saying that the strike was still on. John
J. Hart was called upon when the disorder
had somewhat subsided, but his address
called forth the widest excitement. and it
seemed that a riot was imminent Mr..
Hart said there would be money here by
Monday, and he was called liar. One
man asserted that the leaders were living
high and paying the expense of wreckers'
counsel instead Of giving bread to hungry
men and their families. Master Workman

PRINCE GEORGE JAILED.
lie Knocked Down Three Roughs aud
Had "a Royal Time.

MONTREAL, Sept l3-Priuce George
showed his pluck Wednesday night and
got into serious trouble. The whole story
lss been carefully kept from the public,
and all questions are met with official de.
aial. Aftor the Academy reception on
"Wednesday night, Prince George returned
o the hotel, changed his dress suit, only
retaining his white tie aud black scanned
gloves, and then started out with one Of
MS lieutenants and local nabob to see the
,ity by gaslight.
While passing the corner Of St. Constant
and Laganchetierre streets the trio were
lccosted by a number Of ruflans, who
lsked for money. Before they had time TO
comply with the request. as was their in
ention, the prince aud his friends were
attacked. just how Il happened is not
known, but in a moment the prince and
MS friends were engaged in a rough and
tumble fight with six OF their assalants.
The Montreal nabob was soon laid low,
and for few moments things looked bad
for the prince and the officer. Six to two
we're big odds Then the prince and the
lieutenant got back 10 back, aad handling
heir fists with true pugilistic science, as
onished the roughs. Three Of these fell
before the scientific hitting Of royalty
alone, while ths officer laid two low, and
.he sixth took to flight
Had matters ended here, everything
would have been serene. But they did
not. For along came two Of Montreal's
most stupid French hobbies" who, seeing
six men lying on the sidewalk and two
others bending over them, arrested and
ook them all to the station Ia spite Of the
protests Of the prince They were all, OF
course, considerably battered aud tough
looking from the result of the fray, so no
protests or requests could obtain release,
and they locked up the royal prisoner
Finally the sergeant of police consented
TO telephone for Col. Hughes. the chief Of
police, who came to the station in great
haste, recognized the prisoner and immedi
ately released him. Then there was a
trembling lot Of police, each expecting
prompt dismissal, and somebody would
have gone had it not been for the request
of the prince that no such harsh measures
be taken.
Humble apologies followed, however.
md a hack was called for the prince and
his friend, Who accompanied by an escort,
were driven back to the hotel. The affair
has been a well kept secret; blue blood
aud royal fists conquered Last evening
the prince entertained bis friends aboard
the Thrush
