WASHINGTON CITY. March 2l-Clerk
Mcpherson, of the house of representa-.
tives, has been engaged in some statis-
teal work of an unusual character. By
dnt of examination of the Congressional
Record he has ascertained that Springer
o. Illinois made precisely 100 speeches,
long short, good. bad and indifferent, be-
TWEEN the lst day of December. 1870, and

az some one who uses his name, saws
Springer's speeches will average an hour
each, and he thus occupied the time of
congress by his speeches exactly twenty
five days, which at $3.50, 900 per day in
volved a wastage of wind and money to
she tune of 81, $50, 000 But this is not all
for which the public has to hold Springer
accountable and mulct him in damages.
The View of the Democrats.
According to this same authority, Nc
Pherson declares that every roll-call of
the house in the expenditure of time and
salaries, etc, costs not cent less than
$500. II Is a matter of record that when
Springer was not making speeches and
calling TOM Reed a tyrant he was en-.
gagged in the business of demanding the
yeas and nays and of the ~oll-callS 1t is
safe enough TO say that Springer was the
primary cause of demanding 400 of
the whole number demanded which
brings him in debt to the people in the
further sum of 100000, making tota!
of 81 100000 as the cost of Sprin gers ac-
tivity. The Democrats, however. have a
different way of looking at it, They say
that Snringer's alertness saved the country
hundreds of millions.

That Charge of Bribery at Sacramento
The Torn Paper Witness

Acih l. dIitE W ltht>s.
SACRAMENTO Cal, March. 2l.-The in-
curry into the charges of bribery in con-
uecJion with the recent senatorial contest
was resumed before the legislative COM
mittee, but ho additional facts were ellie
tied. United States Senator Elect FELTON,
was examined, and stated that he had not
spent 81 in the recent canvass, nor had
any one been authorized to do so for him.
Torn papers found in the waste basket in
the office of the state librarian were past
ed together and found to include a roll
call on which a number of names of legis-
lators had been checked off, but having
no significance in itself; sheet of MANILA
paper which bore the impression of sew
eral names written in lead pencil, paper
on which there were some figures in pen
ell, and some paper bands bearing the
mark of the Fresno bank, which had evl-
IDENTIFY been used on packages of money.
Some More of the Scraps.
The committee decided to summon the
cashier of the bank in question to testify
as to the bands. Among the contents of the
now famous waste-basket were found
scraps of paper, which, when pasted to-

Yesterday Cashier Mckenzie and Pay

and Savings bank, identified the torn

Tho POLICE FORCE.

CT course all kinds of spccn!ations
are afoat in regard to the formation OF
the police force, us il the veal and hap
piness of the city depended upon the
selection OF this OF that man for Chief
of Police. We presume tho Police
Commissioners will be able to settle
the difficulty in manner satisfactory
to the people If not to the politician.
We do not see the use OF advocating
this man because he is Republican,
or that man because lie is a Democrat,
when it wns understood that the force
Is to be entirely non.partisan. The
greater object should be to try to get
good competent men Oh the force who
will give their time and energies to the
protection Of the city and the preser.
vation of order in preference to the
success of the particular party to
which they belong.
Amongst the two or three hundred
applications for positions upon the
force there is more than one man who
would make good head for the force.
These is no need for the commissioners
to hamper themselves with choice
between two or three men for chief
when so many good men are applying,
and the hurry is not 50 great that
the Commissioners are compelled to
make choice before they are ready.
Mayor Wiley and his associates Nessrs
Lawson and Jester are the men who
are responsible for giving the city u
good non-partisan police force and
for the good order of tho city not tho
politicians Of either sido. and these
gentlemen will no doubt do the very
best that can be done to attain that de,
erable end.

A Remarkable Drowning Tragedy

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June ia SAD
drowning accident occurred at Parker
Ford, on the Schuylkill Valley railroad
a short distance above Royersford. q
man and child sinking to their death in
the Schuylkill canal. The mans name
was Bixley, aged As. He lived at Parker
Ford, and was employed at the stove
foundry of Buckwalter & Co., at Roy
ersford.
Yesterday he was in an advanced state
of intoxication, behaving like crazy
man. By some means he induced two
children by the name OF Knerr to accom-
pany him. Selling them by the hand
he ran along the canal bank, dragging
the children along at such rate of speed
that they were unable to keep their feet.
The children, realizing for the first time
that they were in the grasp of a mad
man, shrieked for help. Their screams
and frantic but futile efforts at releasing
themselves from the powerful grip of
Blxby increased his rage, and with a
leap he sprang into the canal, pulling
the horror stricken children after him.
AS the trio sank one Of the children
tore away from the demon and made her
way to the towpath, where she sank ex-
hausted in strength. Her condition was
soon discovered by others, and it was
learned that Bixby and one of the Knerr
children, a girl years of age, were
drowned. Persons with graphing irons
made search for the bodies, and they
were soon brought to the surface. Bixby
leaves wife and six children.
