to-day regarding the current report that

could not consent to Mike Kelly's returning
Treasurer Billings said he had made no offer
to Kelly. Director Conant said he had made
no offer, as he could have done no good, and
that so long as his two partners opposed
kelly's return there would be no such offer

LONDONDERRY, June 21.-An empty

CHALLENGING BRICE,s SEAT.

The meeting of the Ohio Republican
Committee last night indicates that the
question of Senator-elect Brice's qualifica-
tion to seat in the Senate is likely to be
one of the pretty fights in the coming ses-
sion. The correspondence of Senator
Sherman with Chairman King shows that
the question has been under actual discus
sion among Republican leaders for some
time. and while Senator Sherman's eX-
pressions are very cautious ,,as coming
from possible Judge i'm the case, it is
plainly regarded as a means not only of
strengthening the Republican majority in
the Senate, but of relieving the pressure
over the Senatorial election by the Ohio
Legislature.
The only ground of challenging Brice's
eligibility is the doubt as to his residence in
Ohio. While the certificate and action of
the Legislature which elected Brice are to
he taken as prin0G fdcie evidence of his
eligibility-and thus will give him his seat
pending the contest-it is also the
case that the Senator-elect's own actions
in emitting to pay taxes in Ohio,
and in describing himself in sundry rail-
road directories as Calvin S. Brice, New
York - give considerable color to such a
contest. The challenge of his eligibility
will, of course, make the Democratic or
gans froth at the mouth; but, if he can be
shown to be ineligible, the Democrats will
have none but themselves to blame for
the loss of the seat.
IT is to be wished that confidence could
he expressed in the decision of the case on
the evidence as to which State Mr.. Brice
was really an inhabitant of at the time of
his election. But it is much to be feared that
his fate will turn on the question whether
corporate affiliations are stronger in the
Senate than partisan necessity. The re-
spective weight of the two influences in
that body are likely to make the issue both
doubtful and interesting.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The notion seems to have gone abroad that
the place is to go to Southern Democrat.
Crisp, of Georgia; Mills, of Texas and Nc
Millin, Of Tennessee, are the leading COM
petftors from this section. The odds appear
to be in favor of Crisp-Ne1U Orleans Plea
yune.
In length of service X. @. Mills comes near
attaining the dignity of father of the House.
Moreover. he is almost so years of age. This
will probably be the last chance the Demo-
Gratis will have for six or eight years to elect
a Speaker, and they ought to choose Mills
81. Louis Globe Democrat.
."CRIsPis a Randall Democrat, while Mills
is a Mills Democrat" says the Fort Worth
Gazette. This is one of the greatest compli-
ments that has been paid to Mr.. Crisp by
Mills friends. Samuel J. Randall was one
of the greatest and best men ever sent to
Congress by the Democratic party. He we'll
merited the name, 'TThe Great Commoner'
which was bestowed upon him by all parties
in Washington. Any Democrat might be
proud of the name ''a Randall Democrat.'-
Chicago Inter Ocean.
1T may not be Mr.. Crisp's fault, but It is
certainly his misfortune, that this hold-back,
or so-called conservative" element of the
party has rallied around him to a man. and
his election to the Speakership would mean,
and would be universally accepted as mean
ing, the triumph of this element and its con-
troll of the legislation of the House during
the coming session when that legislation
must of necessity go far toward shaping the
issues upon which the Presidential cam
paign of 1892 will be fought and determining
the result of that fight.-St. Louis Republic.

Capital Fights New Inventions.

A practical electrician who is working
constantly on an electrical motor that will
if it is ever completed exercise q powerful
effect in the revolution which is gradually
being brought about in locomotive power.
said yesterday: "There is nothing like the
difficulty as far as the scientific side of the
matter is concerned that there is in the
financial side of the problem of electric To-
comotion. What mean is, that if a perfect
electrical substitute for the steam locomo-
tive were to be discovered to-day, and am
convinced that such q discovery will be
completed within the next year or two,
there would still remain the problem
of its Introduction to be solved. You
see, such an immense amount Of capital
is locked up in the present system, directly
and indirectly, that the influence of money
is all against such a radical change in the
equipment of railroads as Mr.. Edison sug-
gesued the other day as possible and prob
able result of pending electrical discoveries.
The railroads are naturally conservative in
their views OF electricity as motive power,
for they realize what an expensive job the
etc, would be. While there is plenty of
money to be had for pushing electrical re-
search, there Is even more money arrayed
against its practical results. This has al
ways been the fate of the inventor, and there
is not machine of great value in use today
that has not had to overcome the artificial
opposition of capital before it could COM
nland q market. For this reason / donot ex-
pect to see electricity ruling our railroads
for some years after the scientific problem
has been solved"

BONDS FOR SILVER BARS,

The statement Of Secretary Foster, in
his speech to the New York Chamber of
Commerce, that the Secretary has power
to sell bonds in order to provide for the
redemption of silver certificates, meets
with challenge. Some Eastern papers
are disposed to find in the law an entire
absence of any such authority, especially
of the sweeping character which the Sec
retary asserts.
The question is serious one; but its de-
termination ought to be unnecessary in
view OF the wantonIy bad policy of the
act. Not to enlarge on the gratuitous
aggravation of the matter which the
Secretary makes by presenting the remedy
in the power of the Secretary "to issue
bonds for gold, paying per cent" when
2 per cent is the interest rate established
on Government bonds by previous policy,
it is enough to follow one transaction
through the course he suggests to show
its public injury. The Secretary buys
81, ,000, 900 of silver and issues 81, 900, 900 Of
certificates, which, by the legal fiction, is
supposed to be based on the silver. But
the silver cannot be used to redeem the
certificates, and when they are presented
the Secretary redeems them in gold and
sells s1,OOO,0OO worth of bonds to make
good the draft on the reserve. What is
the net result of the whole transaction?
The debt of the United States has been
increased to pile up in the Treasury the
product of single interest which, by the
statement of the case, cannot be used for
the Treasury payments, and is simply a
dead weight and unavailable asset, unless

APARTISAN ILLUSION.

A Washington telegram states that a
split in the Democratic Congressional
ranks is likely to be the result of the
warmth generated by the Speakership
contest. If Mills is defeated he will retire
to his tent and sulk, and if Crisp is beaten
he and his supporters will kick over the
traces, is the summary of this hopeful
view from Republican source.
1t should be remarked that expectations
Of coming split in the ranks of one or
ganization are often cherished by the rain
bow-chasers of the other side, and rarely
realized. 1t will not be wise for the Re-
publicans to lay to their souls the flattering
JUNCTION of Democratic dissolution in this
case any more than in the case of the
purely putative Democratic revolt from
Tammany at the last New York elec-
ton.
The Democratic contestants may make
the fur fly as between themselves; but
when it comes to party action the fetish
of partisan allegiance is too strong for
them to throw off. The expectation of a
Democratic split is a Republican illusion.

mind. An ancient maidenlon an ocean ship

the crash of falling masts. In mortal terror
