CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-William Florence.
OF irving Park, wrote recently to SEN
ator Palmer saying that the Democrats
OF this state We're enthusiastically in favor
of his nomination to the presidency.
Senator Palmer has replied II am
sure Cleveland would arouse the en-
thnsiasm of the masses of the people.
The contingency of my nomination for
president is so remote that it is hardly
worth considering at ALL l would not,
under any circumstances, accept the
vice presidency. | could only be in
duced to accept the first place by the
assurance of the convention that it was
necessary that l should do so-a CON
tingency that is very unlikely"

WTLKEsDARRE. Pa. Feb. 23.-Farmcr
Silas Wood and his aged wife, residing
at Bunker Hill, Wyoming county, had a
novel experience. The couple lived
alone, and We're supposed to have con-
siderable money in the house. About
midnight Wood and his wife were
aroused by two masked men who had
broken into the house. The men de-
manded money. but Mr.. Wood pro-
tested that he had none. Dragging the
old couple from their bed they took tho
bed cords from il and tied them to the
bodposts, leaving them in that position.
They ransacked the house, but got only
seventy cents.

Secretary of War Elkins and number
of Secretary Fosters friends.
Secretary Fosters friends recall that
previous to his entrance into the cabinet
he was man of robust health, always
in cheerful and happy frame Of mind,
and stranger to even days illness
for many years back. REPORTS that
came to this city privately after his re-
turn from Fortress Monroe late in Jam
nary indicated his complete restoration
to health; but those who have seen the
secretary in the past ten days have
found him listless and Indifferent, and
altogether changed from the Foster Of
other days.

WAITING FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
New Jerseys Investigating Committee
on the Coal Combine.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. Assembly
man Bookman, chairman of the COM
mittee on railroads and canals, makes
the following report on the absorption
Of the Lehigh Valley and New Jersey
Central railroads by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad company:
1.-The committee has appointed SER
geant-at-arms and clerk, and con-
ferred with the attorney general. The
latter official was unable to advise in
telligently as to what proceeding your
committee is to take until he has in-
spected the alleged lease and agreements
under which the alleged combination
between said railroad companies has
been made. That he has written for
copies of the same, and when obtained
will advise your committee what action
the committee can take.
Your committee further report that
the first question seems to be whether in
the making of the said leases or com
pacts any existing laws of the state have
been violated, and until that question
has been settled by the attorney gem
eral it is not possible to advise
just what legislation, if any. is
needed to prevent an injury to the
people OF this state by such commission"

SELIGMAN, Mo, Feb. 23.-The report
Is current here that Mrs. Robert Rcins,

death her 3-year-old stepson. She called
in neighbors after the child was dead and
claimed she had burned her hands nearly
Off trying to eXtinguish the fire. On ex-
animation her hands were found to be
uninjured, 1t is asserted that the scent

cused of burning the child to death.

An Opposition Convention.
The conference of objectors to tho
early convention met in Union hall.
There were about 200 people present.
Among them were ex-Superintendent of
Insurance Maxwell, ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Fairchild, Congressman Tracy,
L. Ellery Anderson, ex-senator Chase
and V. d. Locke, of Buffalo. They de-
cided to hold an opposition convention
in Syracuse on May 81. Speeches were
made by ex-Secretary Fairchild, who
was chairman, and others. Nearly every
city in the state, he said, was repre-
sented. 1t was a protest against the
methods prevailing at the other conven-
ton.

THE PROSPECTS OF THE LIBERAL
PARTY.

There are several revelations
awaiting the various parties in the
forthcoming Legislative session,
and one of the most comical to the
Conservatives and grievous to the
so-called Liberals is that which
awaits the leaders Of the Repub-
lican-Annexation party.
The Leo has been striving, since
the election, with a pertinacity
worthy of a better cause, to
show their party as united, de-
faint, and above all, homogeneous
and we'll disciplined, while their
opponents, they say, are on sundry
questions of widely different opin-
ions amongst themselves.
This is, to certain extent true,
a larger body of intelligent men are
likely to hold a greater variety of
opinions than q smaller body of less
intelligent men divided into a few
self-seeking leaders and a mere
rout of followers obedient just ex.
actly in proportion as they think
tn ely see their way to the fat bits
and scraps which may be tossed to
them after the great men are pro-
vided for.
But the awakening, the revela-
ton is not yet. Let US suppose the
session a few weeks old, few
Bush aimed blows warded off, the
solitary piece of artillery sllenced
by the converging fire to which it
will be exposed by the fatuous folly
of it's commander, the gas-bag burst,
the bottom dropped out of canton
neering, the chiefs of the party and
the chairs of the Cabinet not vet
within speaking distance, then
comes dissension, disgust, disinte-
grafton.
Neither the leaders nor the rank
and file of the Radical or disturb
ance party are men who can play a
losing or even a waiting game;
they are too hungry, too impatient.
The leaders have ostentatiously
played for place-Cabinet place,
and the followers for what they
can get; and let it be once plain to
them that they have nothing but
the cold shade of opposition to look
forward to and the party, as such,
is defunct. "Sauve qui peut " will
be their motto, and the fortuitous
concourse of atoms is at an end, and
the more ambitious and energetic OF
the fragments will be "to LETT to
the highest bidder.

they should have delivered him
certificate at once. If Nation was
elected he also should have received
his certificate Immediately. The
Inspectors have no power to
award the election to anyone, ten
days after election day. If they
threw out any ballots on February
3, they cannot count them now,
whether they were properly re-
jected in the first instance or not.
1t is too late to give certificate OF
election to NATION. Horner might
possibly take legal steps to compel
the issue of one to him, though such
a course would be of little use if
the ballots above described were
improperly rejected, as the Court
would probably in that case declare
the seat vacant and order new
election.

On THE first page will be found
an important communication in re-
gard to the coffee blight which
should be carefully considered. The
coffee blight has not been so des-
tructive of late as formerly, but
there is no guarantee that it may
not re-appear in force. If Prof.
Koebele, whose deeds speak for
him better than any words of ours,
can discover an insect which will
kill the blight, this government
could not make a better investment
than by the expenditure Of the
funds necessary to secure his SER
vices.

WHO Is ELECTED IN NORTH HILO ?

Inquiry at the office of the Min
lister of the Interior yesterday eli
cited the information that no certi-
ficate of election had been deliv-
cred to either Horner or NATION,
the two candidates for North Hilo
who received the highest number
of votes. The statement received
here at first gave Horner a plural
ity of one. Later returns repre-
scented the election as q tie. 1t is
now stated that the inspectors re-
iected two ballots for Mattoon be-
cause the crosses were enclosed in
parentheses. This was probably
an error on their part, and if these
ballots had not been rejected, Mat
toon would have had a majority.
The law requires that all ques-
tions as to the validity of ballots
shall be decided Immediately, and
of course by the Inspectors. They
cannot seek help from outside par
ties and have no authority to
change decision once made. The
inspectors in this case are evidently
awake to the fact that they have
made a mistake, and are looking
around for some one to help them
out of it. If Horner was elected,
