THE PARTISAN EPIDEMIC.

The partisan confictin the National House
of Representatives, yesterday, nearly reached
the stage of riot and entirely paralleled the
disgracefulness that marked the fights over
the control of various State Legislatures. The
resort to the old argument of calling the
Democratic leader ''traitor" marked the
logic and reason which governed the Re-
publican side; while Mr.. Mills, to whom the
epithet was applied, proceeded to get into a
rage which was not much more dignifed.
All this is going on while the public
business is suffering for attention and at a
time when it will require all the time of
Congress to give decent degree of attention
to the appropriation bills that must be
passed within the next six weeks. 1t is the
inevitable result of the determination of the
Republicans to put legislation for party in
terest above that for the public benefit; and
the Democrats have their share OF the re-
sponsibility for it. in resorting to obstruc-
tive tactics to meet a juncture which is as
yet nothing but possibility.
The political leaders on both sides need q
very forcible reminder that it is their duty
to lay aside partisan SOU uabbles and give
their attention for the rest of the session to
The public needs. Those who cannot do So,
will set themselves down as unworthy repre-
sentatives of the people.

A coMMENpApLE EFFORT.

The latest ambition of the young Emperor
of Germany in the line of benefcent tyrrany
is indicated in his avowal of an intention to
summon the powers of Europe to an impe-
rial and international council for disarma-
ment In estimating the character OF the
present Hohenzollern, THE DISPATCH has
heretofore recognized his disposition to aim
at high ideals, with question for the future
to decide whether his efforts may not prove
volatile and inconstant. His apparent vari-
alton between projects for the benefit of the
workingmen, visits to and from his imperial
cousins on other thrones, and projects for
reducing the war-lords OF Europe to peace
lords may be taken as corroborative of that
idea.
But we must do the young ruler OF Ger
many more justice than that, by recognizing
that so far all his acts are consistent with a
definite abandonment of his reported passion
for the glories of conquest and an intelligent
aim at the victories of peace. No greater
benefit to the working class of Europe can
be secured than the decrease of mill
tary burdens. IF the imperial iunkets

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY. JAN. q, lSs
THE RE-ELECTED SENATOR.

The reelection of Senator Cameron yester-
day was so generally expected that it is
neither sensational nor surprising. With
the foresight of practical politics, Mr..
Cameron through his friends and lieutenants
laid his plans early and captured the Legis-
lature even before it was chosen by the
people. Had those who have since been
shouting for a profounder, more eloquent
and abler man to represent Pennsylvania in
the United States Senate been half as vigi-
liant or earnest in making this an issue at
the November election, Mr.. Cameron might
easily enough have been defeated. 1t will
not be contended even by those who admire
him personally that many men of stronger
and more brilliant qualifications could not
readily have been found in the State. But
it is apparent that the recent attempt to oust
him was more the result of spleen because
he looked out for himself in the late elec-
tion, in place of bolstering the weak State
ticket than of any new perception of more
capable men in the Commonwealth. Then,
too, the opposition was nominally based
upon his lukewarmnesS toward, or rather
actual personal feeling against, the force
bill. But, while this was "a good enough
Morgan" to play upon strict party feeling,
it commended itself none too much to the
general public who are by no means con-
sumed with enthusiasm for this new panacea
for party ills.
Allowing for all that might fairly be
urged against Cameron, it is but due to
recognize that he holds a better position with
the public now than when he was formerly
elected. In the old times, as the head of an
aggressive party machine in the State, be
was included in all complaints against its
workings. The term Cameronism came in
itself to have an offensive Specification in
politics. For years back Mr.. Cameron,
however, has had little part in State affairs,
and as for his bearing in the Senate, no
special reproach attaches to it. If he has
not been loquacious, others who were have
pleased the country no better. If he has not
originated legislation of striking character,
he is at least responsible tor originating
none that is vicious or undesirable. If he
has not voted as often as the average Sem
ator, there is no charge that he has voted
more frequently wrong. And, while he has
been criticised for want of scope and variety
in his motions. there will be a good many to
think his favorite motion, that the Senate
do now adjourn" has been as salutary and
becoming as any other upon which he might
have fixed his affections.
On the whole, if pronouncedly negative
Senator, he has at least not been an unsafe
one; and unless positively more desirable
man were sure to be chosen, there was no
inducement for a change.

BYNUM,s WRONG SCHEME.

There is one fatal defect about Mr.. By
NUNS reported scheme to retaliate upon the
Republicans in case of the passage of the
force bill, in so far as the scheme applies to
Ohio. The Buckeye State will elect Leg
islature this year, in good time to undo
anything that may be done by the present
Legislature. And it is quite certain that a
resort to any such tactics would easily
change the political complexion OF that
Legislature. Two wrongs will not make a
right. The elections bill, pending before
the Senate is wrong in principle. and has
caused more than enough damage already,
by obstructing public business. 1t is
hoped that it may not pass, and that if IT
does it will not lead to such wrongful meth
DDS as are proposed in the Bynum scheme.

EXPERT OPINION VS.. DEMONSTRATION,

The exact results of DR.. Koch's remedy
are still the subject of wide discussion. The
Buffalo Express, which has been taking an
uniavorable view of the new discovery, cites
the opinions Of the Therapeutic Gazette, of
Philadelphia, and of DR.. Virchow, as e1-
pert testimony on the dangerous nature of
the remedy, and as tending to snow that it
cannot accomplish all claimed for it
Expert testimony on a matter that cannot
be submitted to actual tests, is, of course,
the best information that can be got. But
the public has for several generations had
some very striking demonstrations that ex-
pert testimony can be mistaken. Expert
testimony demonstrated in Stephenson's time
that the wheels of locomotive could not
draw load on smooth railway tracks; and
DR.. Landner attained Immortality as an ex-
pert by his scientific argument that steam
power could never propel vessel across the
Atlantic ocean. In this day expert testi-
mony can be secured both for and against
almost any given proposition. So the fact
that even high authority can denounce
Koch's remedy is not conclusive against it.
We 10 uOt rank lue OplulOu Oh flrc1OW
as low as that of the experts who were so un-
fortunate as to set their opinion up that q
thing could not be done which was done
Indeed his statement of the extreme yiru-
lence of the remedy corresponds with that
of Kock, and eorroborates his oft repeated
declarations that the lymph must only be
administered bp scientific men thoroughly
versed in its properties. But while the
remedy may be one of terrible power and
likely to cause .intense suffering, what pain
is there which a man will not undergo in
order to save his life? As to the question
whether the remedy does cure consumption
and external tuberculosis. few such actual
demonstrations as tie case OF DR.. Painter,
referred to in yesterdays DISPATCH, is
more convincing than all the expert opinions
IN the world.
Neither this case, nor that similar TO it,
reported from New York the other day,
amount to full demonstrations that the
remedy will completely cure consumption.

Some Street Law Suggestions.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Now that the Supreme Court has, in the
sporting parlance of the day, knocked out our

vernacular, "What are you going to do about

MOVING THE SEAT OF WAR.
Hostile Indian Chiefs to Go to Washington
to Be Argued About.


to Be Argued About.
Washington Letter in N. Y. Tribune.l
Secretary Proctor's consent has teen given
to General Miles to bring all of the rebellious
and contentious Indian chiefs who have been
amusing themselves on the warpath in the
Northwest to the capital. This will transfer
the seat of the Indian war to Washington,
where there will be an engagement between
the military authorities and the missionaries
who swarm about the capital. These mission
aries and philanthropists have many
theories concerning the Indians. They
are not agreed among themselves as to
what is just the best thing to be done.
They nearly all agree that the Indians have
been badly treated, and that the War Depart
ment's method of settling Indian grievances is
altogether too rude and unchristianlike to be
tolerated. The war of theories, however. will
not interfere with peaceful settlement Of the
question. The chiefs who will be brought on
here will have numerous presents and be made
much of. But it is probable that the best end
ing of their visit will be accomplished by an
agreement with them to enlist IN the service of
the army the young and warlike Indians who
are to-day the sole cause of the outbreak.
A1ady missionary who was at the White
House yesterday said that IL was discouragiDg
for the people who are working to civilize the
Indians to see the bad Indians selected for good
treatment She says that it is almost ira
dition among the Indians that IL they wish to
accomplish anything in the way of obtaining
favors from the Government they must first
begin by fomenting rebellion. All the bad
Indians, as fast as they come into the
reservation, receive extra rations and blankets
while the good Indian who has never been cut
on the warpath is calmly ignored, or else is
simply patted on the back and told that he is .
most worthy fellow. She says that this diff
Guilty is always in the way of their best teach
ing. She says that the Indians should be
greatly pitied. They are obliged TO live upon
their reservation. The Indians of one reserya-
ton cannot visit the Indians of another
Their lives are SO restricted that discon-
tent is almost certain to result This
lady does not approve of the system of issuing
ratious by the Government This system is
only an encouragement of laziness, and stands
in the way of bringing the Indian ND to self
supporting condition. She would favor the
giving of y substitute in the shape of money in
satisfaction of the claim for rations. The
money could be invested in lands and cattle,
and would afford in time means of income for
the Indian free from Government aid or inter-
farenca.

STREET BILLS TO BE CONSIDERED.

The announcement that the street bills
introduced in the Senate Monday were
only designed to secure a place on the
calendar for bills which are TO be more
carefully prepared, evidences the wisdom Of
those who have the matter in charge. This
legislation is of vital Importance to Pitts
burg. There was but little time In which to
meet the emergency. But this move insures
consideration of the necessary measures by
the Legislature and ample time for the
legal gentlemen to prepare proper bills.
The perfected measures can probably be
substituted at an early stage Of the legisla-
tive process so as to avoid the opposition of
the hypercritical.

CLEAN STREETS WITHOUT EXPENSE

CLEAN STREETS WITHOUT EXPENSE
That is a very good scheme which Chief
Bigelow and his fellow workers have de-
v:sed. There is quite popular demand for
some kind of taxation to be levied on the
street railway companies. This should not
be made burden, though the city is proba-
bly, entitled to some compensation for the
franchises granted. Mr.. Bigelow's solution
is happy one. He would have the surface
railroads keep the streets clean. This will
relieve the city of considerable burden of
expense, and at the same time not burden
the railway companies unreasonably.
Especially as Mr.. Bigelow lends them the
benefit of his ingenious device for doing the
work easily and economically.
