THE eyeutful fall Of the British
House OF Lords is again foreshadowed
in the announcement that the Govern
ment eontempla.es introducing once
more at the next session Of Parliament
the black sheep bill, the object of
which is 10 keep out of the upper House
those peers who are = discredIt to their
order. The bill will differ from others,
in that it will invest a committee of the
House, consisting of judicial peers and
certain lay peers, with the power Of
penal discipline over the House of
Lords. The action of the committee
will be the subject OF confirmation or
rejection by the House itself, cut if the
bill is literally construed upon the lines
designated the membership of the
House of Lords will be materially de.
creased.

ALL the proceedings of the Ways and
Means Committee o. the House, says
the Chicago Herald, indicate that it is
the intention of the party not TO dimin-
ish taxa tion, but to increase it to the
very verge of a revolution. With the
Republicans taxation is ratchet.
wheel which turns only one way, and
that way forward. The truth is that
this sudden and exorbitsnt increase OF
taxation is absolutely necessary if tue
Republican policy of administering the
Government is to be carried out. This
policy, if 10 can be dignifed with that
name, is simply to enrich with public
plunder every member of the party. In
order to do this it is proposed to steal
all the money now in the Treasury, and
all that can be got into it during the
present Administration.

A Pair or Female Highway Robbers.

WHEELING. West Va, March "A
tremendous sensation has been created
In the western part Of this State by the
arrest of two women, the wives OF
well-to-do farmers, for professional al
highway robbery. Some OF their ad
ventures we're as bold as any OF Jack
Sheppard's or that ever figured in a
romance.
A series OF sensational highway rob-
berries have lately been committed in a
remote part of Jackson county. On
Friday nigh. A. B. Mitchell, a we'll
to-do farmer was stopped Oh the road
near his home apparently py two
masked men, who presented revolvers
and demanded bis money. While the
robbers were searching Mitchell party
of friends arrived Unexpectedly and the
robbers took to flight.
They were pursued, took refuge in a
house. but were finally Captured. The
pursuers were amazed to find, when the
masks were tern from their faces, that
they were two women, the wives of es-
tims BILE farmers in the community,
named Mitchell and Jones. The women
broke down, and confessed 10 large
number of bold robberies. Restitution
will be made to those persons robbed

robberies at first in order to scare their
husbands, who were addicted to drink
and kept late hours. Their unexpected
success encouraged them, and they
have kept them up for several months
for the money to be made. They are
known to have secured nearly $1,000
from two robberies alone.
Among other robberies which the
women confessed TO committing was
one on a cattle drover named Hugh
Nicholson a week ago. Nicholson was
riding through q lonely part of the
county, four miles from the locality in
which the women lived, when be was
suddenly ordered to halt.
He put spurs to his horse, but two
revolver shots disabled his horse and
brought him to the ground. The rob
oers then went leIsurely through his
pockets and secured all the money that
Nicholson carried, which, however,
happened TO be a small sum. Thew
then assisted him to his feet, 5ade him
good bv and left. Nicholson has no
suspicion IS to the identity OF his as
sailants. The exposure of the female
robbers has created an intense sensa-
ton in that section. The family con.
nections Of both women are very exten-
sive, and q strong effort will be made
TO save them from prosecution, and
hush the matter MP, if possible.

Independence for Canada.

MONTREAL, March 3.-Evepts are
shaping themselves gradually but slow
ly for some radical change IN Canada IS
status. Ever since the loyalty address
to the Queen was passed by the Com
mons at Ottawa, and the young Liber-
ais OF Toronto and Montreal passed
counter>resoiutions in favor of Cana
dian Independence, arrangements have
been quietly proceeding in this city for
the establishment of an organization
which will work systematically and
INCREASINGLY in favor of 1.-THE emancipa-
tion of the country" The project is as
yet in its infancy, but its promoters.
though somewhat reticent admit that
It will soon be fully launched.
They say that the end in view is a
patriotic one, and only pacific and cons
stitutional methods will be employed.
A Canadian Independence League.
with rami6cations all through the land
and beyond its borders. will be formed.
It will have an organ published In the
English language which will be called
1882" the date uDon which il is hoped
Independence will have been brought
about.
As for the French Canadians, the
League will rely for organs on several
of the Liberal newspapers which have
already decl red for a Canadian repub-
lie. All the Liberal and other clubs
in the country will be so many branches
under the direction Of the Supreme
Council in this city.
1t is hoped that independence clubs
will be formed at least in every county,
If not in every town and village.
Literature favoring the change will be
prepared and disseminated abundant.y.
Members and candidates at every elec-
tion will be asked 70 pledge themselves
to the idea. This Will be for this
country. Outside an effort will be
sought to obtain the moral support of all
the independent nations Of both
Americas to remove sin 1892 from free
America the last vestige OF monaTchical
and European Iule." This particular
date is chosen because of its being the
four hundredth anniversary OF the
discovery of America by Columbus.
Universities and political clubs in the
Uuited States and Europe which favor
the extension of Democratic ideas and
the triumph of Democratic institutions
will be invited to assist the movement
and exert their moral influence in Sc
curing the independence of Canada.
A large number of prominent p liti-
clans, especially in the Liberal ranks,
declare themselves in private in favor
OF Independence.

ADMIRAL SHUFELDT, of the. United
States Navy, tells how the Russians are
tilching territory from the Chinese. on
the boundary between Siberia and
China. The means OF communication
are so poor in China and the avenues of
news are so few that it is impossible for
the Chinese to keep track of the goings
on in their provinces. The Russians
send a regiment of Cossacks, with their
families, about tens or fifteen
miles into China. The regiment t
will settle down, take up the land
and cultivate it. They take up
the boundary stones as they settle
down, and put them at the edge of
their settlements, and the next year an
other regiment comes along, and takes
mp the land below and moves the bound.
airy stones further on toward Pekin.
These eDcroachments have been going
on for years. and the Chinese cannot
understand the perpetual shrinkage of
their northern frontier.

\ FIRE broke out in the Rock Tun-
mel OF the South Willkesbarre Colliery
in Luzerne county, Pa, on Monday
evening, and eight men who were work.
ing there were cut off and imprisoned.
The day shift of men had Just come out
and the night SHIFT had gone down.
Seven men were working in a gangway
of the tunnel, when Thomas Jameson,
the driver boy, started in with his two
mules to bring out their loaded ears.
He had not got FIVE hundred feet from
the bottom of the shaft when the naked
light he carried on his head fired
heavy blower Of gas, which was escap
ing from a crevice ia the coal. The
flame was strong. and in a few minutes
the dry, half rotten timber Of The sides
and roof had caught ere and were in a
light blaze. Jameson started to warn
the men Of their danger bu, did not get
back, He with the other seven men
are shut in by a wall of fire and
although, rescuing parties have been az
work ever since, the men have not been
reached and there is very little hope
OF theiI being reached alive.

THE proposal to erect a monument to
VIM. Henry Harrison, who was Presi-
dent for one month, says the Pittsburg
Times, tRp'tblican,) comes rather late.
His best service was rendered when he
was Governor of the Great Northwest,
fighting the Indians and mauifesting
high civil and military qualities. His
grandson, the President .! the United
States at the present time, will or will
not haye a monument, as some future
Congress shall determine. At present
there is no such thought.

THE jury in the Leconey murder
case tried at Camden, y. j.. brought
in verdict on Monday of not guilty.
The verdict was received with ap-
lause. The case was a remarkable
one. Chalkey Leconey, a well to do
farmer, wss charged with killing his
niece, Anna Leconey. The trial has
been in progress four weeks. Chalkey
Leconey was at first considered guilty,
and eircumstantial evidence was strong
against him. The defence. however,
created a sensation at the trial by ad-
vanclng the theory that the crime had
beer committed by two colored men,
one of which assaulted the girl, then
killed her to hide his crime. From the
beginning to .he end OF the trial the
mot her and father of the murdered girl
we're firm believers in the prisoners in
nocence and testified in his favor.

On all vital points affecting the well
fare Of the country the Harrison Ad-
ministration. says the Albany Arqlls,
has.been a disastrous failure, and when
TO its malign influence is added the
recklessness and extraysgance Of the
present Congress, the situation be-
comes terribly grave and the outlook
very dark. Even the marvellous energy
and progress OF our country can hardly
suffice against such destructive forces,
and it will be providential rather than
natural IL we escape a panic as the re-
suit of this misgovernmeut. The Con-
gressional elections in the Fall will af-
ford the people an opportunity of re-
cording their verdict on the Harrison
Administration, and the palpable indi-
cations are that it will be most en-
pbatic verdict-one that will, at least,
check the saturpalis OF plunder now in
full operation at the National Capital.

No Hurry.

The Rebublicsns will probably admit
ldaho and Wyoming into the Union
during the present Congress. Bills for
ihat purpose have been reported in the
Senate and the House. The main. and
In fact the sole, reason for the admis-
sion otthose Territories is, OF course.
the creation Of new Republican States
The enthusiasm of the boomers esti-
mates the population ot Idaho at from
10000 to 150, 600, q gain of from 800 to
4OO per cent. since the last census.
WyomiDg's population, according to
similar oftimistic calculations. is from
SO-OOO to 10000. 1t would be we'll to
wait until these figures are verified.
New Mexico had in 1880 population
four times as large as that of Idaho and
SIX times as large as that of Wyoming
at thst time and both New Mexico
ana Arizona have great mineral re-
sources. but have, or st least it is as
sumed by the Republicans that they
have, the misfortune to bs Democratic,
and consequently their admission Is not
TO be though. Of
A large part. probably 3 fourth or
nt'h. OF the actual population of Idaho,
consists OF Mormons. disfranchised

community in which SO large part of
or the tnhabi anIs are prevented from
exercising the suffrage, cannot be great;
ana the disfrsnchised part is, rs u
whole, the settled in distinction FROM
the rowing element OF the population.
1t would be interesting to know what
expectations of big appropriations from
the Government for tie purpose OF irri-
cation stir the patriotism of these
Territories.
The case of North Dakota shows that
it Is possible 10 admit a Te ritory to
the Union when it is neither financially
nor morally prepared for 1t. The case
OF Nevada shows the uncertain prospects
OF prosperity which are founded largely
upon the hope OF mineral wealth. II
seems clear enough that there should
be no hurry about admitting Idaho and
Wyoming; yet the Republican delega-
tion IN the Electoral College needs to
be added to.-N. Y. Sun
