will be overwhelmingly Democratic the
commentator, in whose editorial columns
the discovery of the interesting project is
brought to our notice.
This statement of the scheme by the Re-
publican organs certainly credits the Demo
cratic managers with great deal of astute-
ness; but it is hardly feasible. In the first
place, it puts too much faith in
the power OF the Democratic lead
ers to credit them with the ability
to prevent q Republican Congress from
passing a postal measure urged by Re-
publican Postmaster General in order that
the Democrats may profit by it in succeed
ing Congress. Next the success of the
scheme depending on the accuracy of the
statement that the next Congress is ''over-
whelmingly Democratic, would be likely
to be seriously damaged by the fact that in
the next Congress the Senate will have q
Republican majority and Republican
President will have the veto power over any
law that Congress might pass. 1t may be
possible the Democratic managers have the
degree of ability which induces this Re-
publican Congress to refrain from passing a
measure in order that the Democrats may
have its use in the future as a political club;
but to suppose that they can make the
Senate in the next Congress pass q measure
and induce President Harrison to sign it,
unless the Western Union will agree to
throw its support against them, can only be
fully characterized in the mathematical
orthography of the late A. Ward. 1t is SO
mulch"
Finally the certainty of the Republican
organs that the postal telegraph bill can
be used as club over the Western Union,
and the recognition OF the value of that
company's aid in 1892, is likely to have a
reflex action on the fact that the present Con-
gress which is Republican in both branches
has omitted to pass the bill Do our in
discreet but organic contemporaries fail to
perceive that the only pertinence of their
discovery is in furnishing a hypothesis by
which to explain the determination last
week that the postal telegraph bill should
not be reported from committee? AS the
present Congress is the only one in which
the "club" scheme could work, it must be
concluded that the aIlege club is of the
boomerang variety.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH BILL,
Postmaster General Wanamaker Wants the
Measure Pushed.

Postmaster General Wanamaker Wants the
Measure Pushed.
WASHINGTON Jan. la-With the approval
Chairman Bingham has made public the follow
ing letter from Postmaster General Wana-
maker, addressed last Friday to REPRESENTATIVE
Evans, the Chairman of the sub Committee on
Postal Telegraph:
Il learn with great pleasure that you intend,
as chairman Of the subcommittee on Postal
Telegraph, to ask the general committee to-day
70 vote upon the question of reporting the bill
70 tine house. The long time that has elapsed
and widespread public int crest In the question
as evidenced by the communications TO the de-
partment, seem to warrant the expectation that
early action will be taken. ANY decision of
your committee will at least let the people
know where postal telegraphy stands.
. Il md in the records of the Forty-seventh
Congress the able report of Mr.. Bingham to the
House of Representative favoring postal
telegraphy which append because it is so full
OF information showing how the Western
Union came to get its great power. and the
need OF some intervention in the peoples be-
half. 1t is true the argument is in favor of the
buying or building of telegraph lines, but all
the arguments apply with equal force to the
Dill now under consideration by your COM
mittee. call your special attention to the fol-
lowing paragraph as germane to the present
time, as much so as If written yesterday:
objection has always been made by the
Western Union Telegraph Company to the es-
tablishment of postal telegraph system con-
trolled by the United States Government in
connection with the postoffice service of the
country, and sundry attempts at the establish
ment Of such postal system have been defeated
by the Interpositon of agencies and influences
unknown to your committee
Il have the honor to be, etc."
Mr.. Bingham to-day said that the bill which
the above letter refers was not introduced by
Mr.. Evans until the 18th of December last.

THE OTHER SIDE oE THE CASE

The question of capital punishment has
been brought up in Massachusetts, by its
opponents in connection with the fact that
while murderers have been under sentence
of death in that State, other murders have
been committed, says one of the journal
istic assailants of capital punishment.
Says cotemporary:
According to the theory of the advocates of
the death penalty, the fact that James Palmer
was awaiting execution in the New Hampshire
State prison should have made human life
secure within our borders at least for a time,
but the truth is it did nothing Of the kind. In
the legal interval between his sen tence and the
date fixed for his last short walk to the gallows,
Isaac Sawtelle planned and deliberately carried
out one of the foulest murders in the history
of the State.
We do not believe that any advocate OF
capital punishment ever held that the execu-
ton of criminals, much less their being
held under a sentence which may or may not
be carried out year hence, will absolutely
prevent anyone else from committing
crime. But it is the argument that it estab-
fishes deterring influence; and that deter
ring influence is certainly not disproved by
the facts which are cited from New Hamp-
shire. Indeed, since the anti-capital pun
ishment people are disposed to rely so i'm
plicitly on the facts of one or two isolated
cases, it is pertinent to point to them that
none of the criminals referred to are hanged
yet; and that the protrscted delay in the
execution Of the sentences permits BELIEF
among the criminal and violent classes. like
that which gave rise to many homicides in
this county, that changing is played out. d
But another claim is made by the sup.
porters of capital punishment which its op.
ponents ignore. That is that capital pun
ishment will prevent at least the executed
criminals from committing any more mur'
ders. 1t so happens that one of the casei
which these opponents Of capital punish

NEBRAsKA,s AGONY PROLONGED.

Nebraska's political muddle is very seri-
Gus one. The contending parties show un-
finching determination to hold to all they
nave as long as possible. There is, how
ever, prospect for settlement of the con-
troyersy. though rather distant one. The
Supreme Court has issued a summons for
Goyernor-elect Boyd to answer to the bill
filed by Ex-Governor Thayer, which will
settle the question of the right to the Guber-
material Office. The hearing may be post
poned for five weeks, under the law, and in
the meantime the Legislature will do no
business. The deadlock is expensive and
aggravating, and, worse still, does not appear
to have any compensating features when it
shall De broken.

Get Thee to Market!

with the snow falling and the delicious brick
paVements iced to nicely on the outside, the
scene in the Allegheny market house these
wintry mornings is wonderfully bright and
attractive by contrast alone. But it has pos
tive beauties, too, which are enjoyed almost
entirely by the better half of humanity. Mar
keting has hot charming sound; it brings up
visions of chickering's with butchers and con-
troversies with cabbage vendors, of baskets
heavy to excess and an infinity of vexation.
But the market itself is not an inferno; it is
great deal nearer paradise.
The boasted markets of Philadelphia, Wash
ington and Fulton markets in New York, the
French market in New Orleans, the glories OF
Covent Garden, or the quaint and curious
charm of the Partisan market stalls, have all
been praised beyond measure. but the fact re-
mains that for very many solid merits and some
points of beauty the Allegheny markets cannot
be excelled.
OF course. women know, or most of them do,
what display of flowers these markets boast,
even in midwinter. Violets perfumed the air
there yesterday-more than scent per cent, for
the price was % cents dozen found. Why
is it Lancaster sends US SO many roses7 Boxes
of beauties plucked the morning before come
from Lancaster daily. The young tomatoes
from Bermuda. so cents quart! are blushing
on the stalls. and the mass of green's and yell
lows tells of great variety in the vegetable line.
The game dealers are drinking the Supreme
Courts health all the time now. The recent
decision allowing them to sell game killed out
of season in other States is great boon to
them. Quail, and deliciously plump little
birds, some Of them, are to be found in great
quantities on the stalls, as practical result
Of the Supreme Courts ruling. The Court has
made somebody happy at last.

NO OUTCOME TO 1T.

Senator Hiscock's argument for the Sher-
man bill for the issue of 5000, ,0O0,0 of two
per cent bonds as basis for bank circula-
ton, that it would really be a one per cent
loan for the Government-as the banks
would pay back one per cent in tax on cir
culation-is quoted approvingly by the
New York Commercial Advertiser. Con-
cerning the Senator's further declaration
when asked why all the outstanding bonds
should not be exchanged for two per cents,
that he was in favor of it, the same journal
says: "No stroke financial could be made
which would in like manner command the
admiration of the world"
This looks very nice on paper; but there
are practical difficulties. If the banks can
get no more than one per cent interest out of
their investment in bonds to secure circula-
tion what reason is there to think that they
will take out fresh circulation to the tune Of
5000, 000 900? If the profit on circu-
lation is grea: enough to induce
them to do SO, why should they not
do so on the present bonds, which, at ruling
quotations, are little better than per
cent investment? The only way to make
United States bonds stimulate bank circula-
tion is to pay better rate of interest than
the low one which is represented by the
present quotation on Government bonds.
As to the conversion of the present bonds
into per cents, on terms which will be to
the advantage of the Government, that is
the merest moonshin as long as the holders
have the privilege of saying whether they
will make the exchange or not. In a matter
like this involving the rate of interest to be
paid on Stated debt, what one side gains
the other must lose. If the Treasury does
not offer a premium to make the old bonds
yield an interest of less than two per cent,
the bondholders will not make the exchange.
The Government therefore. in order to re-
place the per cents with Is must lose what
ever inducement is necessary to make bond
holders assent to it, plus the cost of the
transaction. Whenever the point is
reached where the Treasury can,
under the contract call in the bonds,
and when it has not the cash on hand to pay
them off entirely, then the refunding can be
luduc cdOfduiaSeousiy- OAbll tneui ~ is lult
to talk of gaining anything by an exchange
which can only be effected by putting the In
ducement Oh the other side.
Concerning the further argument of the
Commercial Advertiser that there should be
an increased use of frst-class securities like
Government bonds, as basis for circulating
medium, there is no objection to be made.
But in view of the dwindling total and low
rate of interest on Government bonds, those
securities can only be made attractive to the
banks by making them a present of increased
interest at the cost of the people. As that
would condemn the whole system, the only
alternative is to look elsewhere for securities
of greater volume and lower but practically
secure standing.

AN EVENING OF ENJOYMENT
Given by Members of the Iron City Fishing
Club to Friends.

Given by Members of the Iron City Fishing
Club to Friends.
The members of the Iron City Fishing Club
held reunion in the Pttsburg Female College
last evening. and from 7:3o until quite late they
industriously angled for each others hands.
The club is composed OF over 100 members and
is nine years old, with a remarkably brilliant
record for pleasure, merry-making and health
giving and has promising future. 1t Is COM
posed of representative citizens, including many
leading professional and divine lights, all of
whom were out last evening In party
costumes in which. last summer, they
caught the festive fishes and gathered
round the camp fire up in Canada, where they
tented for period Of several weeks. The
delivered a brief address Of welcome. spicy
with reference to the shady hooks and fra
grant pines of Canada, and Overlooking with
pride and interest in the club. Musical selec-
tions followed, rendered by Prof. Horner,
Prof Slack, Murphy brothers and Benjamin
Dangerfeld, interspersed with short addresses
by the members, who testified, as the spirit
moved them, to the greatness and glory OF the
Iron City Fishing Club and promoted good
cheer and jollity by so doing.
Under the direction Of Mr.. Smith. the Secre-
tary, a stereoptlcon exhibition was given of
scenes and localities that revived vivdly the
summer days. The views numbered SO, and
were charming reproductions of some of the
most notable places Of interest in and about
the camp ground of the club, including
many camp-life representations. in which
figures and faces were strikingly familiar.
A banquet, served by Luther. was fitting eli
max to the evenings gayety. and over the deli
cious dishes served wit and repartee flowed
merriy. The club has not decided where the
sweltering DAYS of next season will be spent,
but it is probable that the same locality select
ed and enjoyed last year will be revisited. The
officers or the club who last evening composed

The Shadow of q Name,

There was great disturbance in little bar
Der shop in Allegheny yesterday morning. The
stout and stalwart Teuton who presides over
the shop elected customer with as much fuss
as force. The other customers in the store of
course were curious-a man always is more
than usually anxious to fully survey and COM
prehend his surroundings when he has lather
all over his face, towel under his chin and a
razor saving the adjacent air-and they all
asked what the elected party had done to be
treated so.
"Done?'-asked the barber, Done? Did
you see dose clothes, and that hat? He was
bad debt collector. or Something's like that
won't have no man with such clothes in this
place. The neighbors they all think he come
to collect money mid me-not much, he don't
he don't get shaved here"
And l find that the unfortunate uniformed
agents of dett collecting concerns experience
the same difficulty elsewhere. They are wei.
come nowhere and the badge they wear casts
bigger shadow than most men care to incur

ment cite affords a very good illustration of
the Importance of this. Sawtelle had al
ready been subjected to the reformatory in
fuences of Imprisonment, and had as is fire.
quently the case been set free under the be-
lief that he was reformed man. Accord
ing to the logic above quoted, if imprison-
ment prevents murders the crime which
Sawtelle committed should have been i'm
possible; but it was not. The lesson is very
plain that surer way to prevent this GRIM
inal from more murders is to execute him.
1t is to be suggested also that prompter
application of the death penalty is likely to
be more effective. The present practice of
letting so long time elapse between the
crime and punishment. that people forget
what the punishment is for, should be re-
formed.

IRON AND COKE.

Some signs of strength have been notice
able in the Eastern iron market since the
shutting down of furnaces in the South and
the Shenango and Hooking valleys. There
is considerable talk in the East, however, Of
shut down there. 1t is proposed to make
q general movement against the coke pro-
ducers by the shut down and force them to
accept lower prices. The coke men have
proposed sliding scale based on the price
of iron, but this is not satisfactory to the
Eastern furnace men. There are some seri-
Gus phases about the question, but the gen.
orally good outlook for business promises
that all signs of trouble will vanish in an
era of prosperity before midsummer.
