Free Binding Irvine.

The House of Representatives on Mon
day passed the bill placing binding Irvine
on the free list, under a suspension OF the
rules, by vote of 1873 to ~. Three
Democrats, Covert Of New York, Cadmus
of New Jersey, and Coburn of Wisconsin,
voted against the bill, and three Republi-
cans, Broderick of Kansas, Picker and
Jolley of South Dakota, voted for the bill.
Since the bill has been pending the binder
Irvine trust reduced the price, but the ruse
deceived no one. Had the bill failed the
price would have gone up. The opponents
of the bill declared that as the tax was but
seven tenths of cent pound, the farmers
could stand 1t, but the Democrats thought
that seven-tenths was just as good to the
farmer as 10 the trust, and voted to give it
20 the farmer. The bill now goes to the
Senate

Untrammeled Delegates.

The practice of instrueting delegates to
a national convention is wrong in principle,
and we observe with satisfaction that the
Democrats of but two or three states have
hampered their representatives by lnstruc-
,io,s Persons who cannot be trusted to
act for the good of the party, should not
be chosen Us delegates.
A convention should be deliberatlve
body, composed of free an untrammeied
delegates to interchange views, and con-
suit together for the best interests OF the
party. Instructed delegates are tied. They
are mere machines to carry out lnstruc-
tons and they must obey them, even IT
thew should be convinced their action Is
wrong, or risk the imputatiOn of violating
a trust
If every state should instruct, unless "A
particular candidate should have enough
delegates to win, there would be dead
lock. Consultation would be useless, be-
cause the delegates would be pledged, and
instructions would have to be obeyed.
Instructions are bar to unity and har-
mony, and are conducive to disappo:nt-
ments and lukewarmness. A state that
instructs centres the interest of Democrats
therein upon particular candidate, to an
unusual degree. Their hopes become bound
up in his success, and should he fail of
nomination disappointment follows and
sometimes lukewarmness.
Parties are organized for the promotion
of principles. Men are but instruments
by which principles are put In practice
After platform of principles and policies
is constructed, the selection of candidates
will be no difficult matter by a convention
of free delegates, moved by patriotism and
a desire to promote public and party in
terests. A convention thus constituted
may be relied upon to nominate able, clean
and resolute candidates, who will redeem
pledges if elected.

Hedging on Free Silver.

The speeches on free silver coinage by
such able Republicans as Senators Teller and
Stewart. and the plain talk INDUCED in by
these and other Senators, has had decided
effect on the Administration. The probable
loss Of the four mining states has driven the
President to hedge little. In response to a
resolution of the Senate requesting . copy of
she correspondence by the Administration
concerning any steps toward securing an in
ternational conference to consider the ques
ton of enlarged use of silver, the President
said he could not furnish it now, but would
do so at the earliest opportunity, and added
1T may not be inappEoprja1e, hoWegey. 10 say

Through Grain Trains.
Philadelphia CPa) lie dyer, May 4.

Philadelphia (Pa.) lie dyer, May 4.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has just made
an experimental movement ola through train
of 40 car loaded with grain from Chicago to
Philadelphia without change of engine or
break in the train. This is a novel departure
in the methods of the transportation of grain
in bulk between the West and the seaboard.
Under the old plan grain has been hauled to
the East in freight cars attached to trains
which carried other kinds of freight and
merchandise destined to various points on
the system. This arrangement involved
great delay in the yards at the terminal OF
each division of the road, the frequent shift
ing of cars and an enormous amount of hand
ling. In order to obviate these difficulties
and to expedite the shipment of the vast
stores of grain to the seaboard, the Pennsyl
vania Railroad determined to institute COM
plete service of through grain trains. The
first train of this character left Chicago on
Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock, and arriv-
ed in this city Monday evening. The great
train is composed of forty grain cars, and each
car is loaded to the maximum, containing
$4,000 pounds of corn. The weight of the
grain alone is 2,640,000 pounds, or nearly
1900 tons-50, 900 bushels The weight of
the entire train, including locomotive and
caboose, is 1000, 900 pounds, and the length
VI TUE Train Is Lbpb ltGt. IL luiHiSu buC
power necessary to move this granary on
wheels, the tender of the locomotive must
carry 10000 pounds of coal and 5000 gallons
of water. Extra engines, or "helpers," are
provided in crossing the heavy grades Of the
mountains. No attempt at making fast time
is contemplated in this movement, but the fact
that the train goes through solid, without
stopping even for the usual change of engines,
saves a great many hours on the schedule
time of the ordinary through freight. The
through grain train is equipped with all the
modern appliances, including air brakes.
1t is run on a special schedule and receives
almost as much attention as passenger train.
At each stop it is inspected with care, and
its progress over the line is carefully watched
by switch and signal men. This is the first
freight movement of this kind ever inaugural
ed in this country, and means great deal
for the trade of Philadelphia. 1t cannot fail
to add new life to the shipping interests of
this city, as the amount of grain delivered to
this port by the Pennsylvania Railroad will
be largely increased.

Bright be the place of thy soul
No loveler spirit than thine
Fer burst from its mortal CONTROL
In the orbs of the blessed to shine.
On earth thou vert all but divine,
AS thy soul shall Immortality be;
And our sorrow may cease 10 repine
When we know that thy God is with thee.
Light be the turf of thy tomb
May its verdure like emerald be;
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee.
Young flowers and an evergreen tree
May spring from the spot of thy rest;
But nor cypress nor yew let US see,
For why should we mourn for the blest?

Violation of the Civil Service.

According to the testimony of Postmaster
General Wanamaker before the House Com
mittee on Reform in the Civil Service, the
twenty-one employees Of the Baltimore post
office who were reported by Commissioner
Roosevelt as guilty of violation Of the civil
service law and their dismissal recon
mended, are still retained in the service and
no proceedings have been taken against
them. Mr.. Wanamaker said that after he
had received Commissioner Roosevelt's re.
port, he ordered an investigation by two post
office inspectors. He did not read all the
evidence gathered by the latter, but assumed
they we're reliable men, and acted upon their
report, instead of Commissioner Roosevelts,
and did not interfere in the matter. He also
admitted that there was no law for ordering
investigations of such matters by the post
office inspectors. In his evidence Mr.. Wanna
maker declared himself as a civil service re
former ofthe highest type. He ought to have
said of the highest Republican type" which
means the adoption of the theory and the
practice of the spoils system.
