day afternoon and last evening. In the
afternoon Rev. Mr.. Williams of the First
church gave a very helpful and inspiring
address
A good audience assembled in the
evening to hear the Rev. G. NJ. Sanders
preach. He took as his text Matt. % 3s
the first and great commandment. The
rmo was pointed and vigorous, aud
held the attention of both old and young
until the close. An attractive feature OF
the services yesterday was the singing.
Mr.. Bradley OF Denver has arrived and
rendered valuable assistance along this
line. He is going to remain through the
week and over Sabbath. With Mr.. Rose
at the organ and Mr.. Bradley to lead. the
becomes a very inspiring part Of
the service. This afternoon after the
close of thu public schools there will be a
,hildren's service. There will be good
and short addresses and it is
hoped all the children will come. Rev.
O. NJ. Sanders will preach again this
evening.

The Sun quotes Secretary Blaine to the
effect that such a political revolution as
that of Tuesday is inevitable about once
in every two years when the biennial ID
heavals cause a change in the political
complexion Of congress. The only trouble
with the scheme is that history does not
prove It's truth. The Democrats had
control of the house in 1874, 1875 and
1878. The Republicans returned to pow
er in 1880. The Democrats were back
again in 1882, 1884 and 1886, while the
Republicans resumed control IN 1888.
In 1891 the Democrats will again be IN
control of the lower house of congress.
Without going further into the disgust
ing details of the ease, it is evident that
it win require another theory to fit the
case in last Tuesdays election.
The United States senate will be safely
Republican BY only a very small majority.
As the body stands with Wyoming and
Idaho included the Republicans have a
majority Of fourteen, but when Palmer
succeeds Farwell in Illinois, Villas sue
ceeds Spooner in Wisconsin, Davis of
Minnesota is replaced, Hill succeeds
Evarts in New York. ingalls, is succeeded
in Kansas and Blair in New Hampshire
the majority will be reduced to four.
Senator German, in an interview in
Washington yesterday said the victory of
the Democracy was an expression of the
people against radical measures such as
the Republicans has brought forth during
this congress. The senator was asked if
he thought the victory would be lasting
if it would give the Democrats the next
president. at depends upon their
course. If they are cautious and couserva-

of the result Of the election said today the

THE REVOLT AGAINST REED.

PHILADELPHIA Record: Speaker Reeds
historic eye got Bynum-sized decoration yes
terday. His great mistake was in trying to
stuff live silver dragon into pigeon-hole,
NEW YORK World: Mr.. Reeds conduct has
already shown the hollowness of his preten-
sions But in his action on the Senate amend.
ments to the House silver bill he has demon
strated that he not only does not favor, but
that he is opposed to majority rule when it is
not on his side.
NEW YORK Star: The House was prepared
for centest on the reference of the silver bill,
and was naturally astonished to find that its
Car had already settled the matter offhand by
referring it to his favorite committee The
silver men would not stand it. and in the skir-
mish that followed the Gar was worsted-per-
haps only temporarily, but still distinctly GEN.
sured by the aid of many of his hitherto obedi-
ent subjects.
PHILADELPHIA Times: The House rebelled
Yesterday against the Speakers autocratic rule
and refused to sustain his arbitrary reference
of the silver bill to the Committee on Coinage.
Some such revolt as this was inevitable. The
Speaker has strained his own despotc rules to
dangerous point and it. was only o question of
time and occasion when enough of his own
party would grow restive under them to join
with the opposition to overthrow his authority.
NEW YORK Times: The upshot Of the hgnt
was that the House voted to correct" the jour
nal by striking out the record Of the fact tnat
the bill had been referred, but refused TO oe-
clare that the Speaker had no authority 1or re-
ferring il. 1t was a rebuff for the speaker.
But the spectacle of dozen, more or less, OF
Republicans votiug:with the Democrats on
m after of this sort Is not reassuring 70 tne
managers of the party. 1t repeats too plainly
what happened in the Senate.

INCOMPETENCE OR POLITICS.

Frank G. Schlotter has been employed in
the Pittsburg postofice for five years as a
mail distributor. He has been deprived of
his place, as he asserts, because he is a
Democrat, and, as Postmaster Mexican
maintains, because he is incompetent Mr..
Schlotter is not satisfied to let the matter
rest at this, bnt has appealed to
the Civil Service Commission to in
vestigate his charges that the civil service
rules have been Violated in his case. Post
master Nc Kean says that Mr.. Doyle, a
civil service inspector. has examined the
case already with the result that he is satis-
fed as to MIR. Schlotter's inability to perform
the duties required of him in the posto flee.
As buttress to his case, Mr.. Schlotter has
procured the testimony of hundreds
of his neighbors in Coraopolis as
to his abstinence from pernicious ac-
tivity in politics and as to his gen.
eral good character. Most of these wit
nesses are Republicans.
We have tried to state the facts as they
are alleged to be bv the contending parties,
and with both sides of the story clearly in
view we can see no reason why the Civil
Service Commission should not investigate
the case. If what Mr.. SchIotter alleges is
true, if he has passed one or two civil service
examinations satisfactorily and has done his
duty faithfully and we'll for term of years.
his discharge is an infraction OF the civil
service rules. If what Mr.. Mexican
alleges is true, the commission will be
compelled to confirm his decision. In
justice to both parties Immediately con-
cerned and to the public, who are deeply
interested in the enforcement of the laws,
and especially OF the law designed to keep
the administration of the departments of
the Government and politics apart. the in
vestigation should be made. 1t cannot
injure any one unrighteously. The DIS
PATCH has always desired to see the busi-
ness ofthe Government conducted on business
principles and it has joyfully recognized
the disposition OF Mr.. Mexican and his
predecessor, Mr.. Larkin, to apply those
principles to the postofice.
OF course if the Civil Service Commission
through competent official has already
examined Mr.. Schlotter's case and reported
against him, we presume, no further inves-
tigation is needed.

VESTED RIGHTS IN MONOPOLY.

The Washington Post makes a vigorous
attack upon the proposition to establish a
Government postal telegraph, on the ground
that it is an unprecedented outrage to enter
into competition with the Western Union
telegraph, which amounts to ''confscation
of private property"
According to this theory, when one mer-
chant sets up store in opposition to another
already established he is attacking by his
competition the private rights of the first
merchant and is trying to coniscate his
property. Everyone knows that is absurd.
No private citizen or small capitalist can
get any property right that will be infringed
upon by honest competition. 1t is only In
the case of great corporations that the claim
is made that they must be guaranteed i'm
munity against competition.
The Posts effort in favor of the Western
Union is principally effective in bringing
out the practical assertion of the Western
Unions claim that it has vested right in
monopoly.
