SCOPE ONE For HjLT.

One Democrat more or less in a Congress
where the party has majority OF one hundred
and fifty already is not matter Of much con-
sequence 1t does not affect results Indeed,
from the point Of view Of partisan adyan-
tage the Democrats who seem TO be more in
harmonious and quarrelsome the larger their
majority, might well prefer TO reduce rather
than increase their number, while the Repub-
licans. seeing the embarrassments in which
their opponents have been plunged by their
unweldness, might well vote to increase their
troubles by piling their enormous majority still
higher. The Rockwell case, however. was not
decided on considerations Of political finesse.
The continued occupancy by Mr.. Rockwell Of
a seat in the House to which he was not elected
has no political effect. His own party is no
stronger, the Republicans no weaker for it..
Still the vote by which he has been seated is
not without considerable political significance.
Public attention has been attracted TO the case
in an unusual degree. and the interest in it has
been much more marked than In ordinary
cases Of contested elections. And this, not be-
cause the facts differed so materially from the
ordinary Accomplishments Of such cases. No
unusual conditions appeared no Outrages or
crimes. OF lIdUuS vi Nhu"N7
ter nothing, indeed, bur state of things which
has come to be common and familiar in election
contests.
What gave the case its unusual interest and
attached such significance to the result was
the fact that it raised the question once more
in concrete form as 70 the leadership and the
policy of the Democratic party for the Presi-
Dental campaign, and possibly for consider
able period hereafter. For the facts in the
case were so VIGOROUSLY adverse to the claim
of Rockwell that mp to the time when Senator
| Hill took an active interest in his behalf very
| few of his own party friends had the slightest
| idea that he would be able to retain his seat.
| EXCEPT for Senator Hills interference no one
doubts that Rockwell would have been igno-
miniously elected by Congress in which bis
party has one hundred and fifty majority. Even
the partisan Committee on Contested Elections
had reported against him, and the expressions
of approval of the report by Democratic mem
bers had been so general and so positive that
it was not supposed until few days before the
vote was taken that he had more than the ghost
| of chance. lie was saved by the fact that
Senator Hill not only supported his claim blu,
threw himself boldly and bodily into the fight
and made personal matter of it. 1t was, in
fact. when the vote came to be taken a simple
test of the strength of David B. Hill as the
leader of his party. The cleavage in the Dem
ocratic party in Congress was on that line, and
no other This was brought out when Mr.
OFerrall, of Virginia, paid his little tribute
to Grover Cleveland and evoked applause from
that gentleman's followers
The line il drawn between Senator Hill a,
leader and the policy, all too well known, b,
which he would bring the Democratic part,
into power and keep it there, and the leader

Public confidence in France has been restored
during the last week by the firmness and en-
ergy displayed by the Government in dealing
with the Anarchists. According to our cable
dispatches published to-day over one hundred
suspects were arrested yesterday by the au-
thorities in Paris, Lyons and other centres of
Anarchist activity. The panic at present seems
to be no longer on the side of the public, but
on that of the dynamite men, who are APP
parently doing their best to get rid OF their
explosives in order to save themselves from ar
rest. Under the circumstances, no further APP
prehensions need be entertained OF Anarchist
disturbances Oh May Day.

A dispatch which Governor Seay, OF Okla
homa. has sent to the Secretary of the Interior
is an emphatic and most gratifying tribute to
the proverbial goodnature Of the American
people. The Governor assures Secretary Noble
that the settlement of the new lands in the
Territory has been accomplished without any
bIoodshed-" not riot. not gunshot wound in
all the country" When one considers that the
love of money is the root of all evil and that
the love of land is phase OF the love Of
money, the significance Of this testimony OF
the Governor 10 the temper OF the new settlers
cannot be mistaken. They were as peaceable
as they were adventurous They were de-
termined to secure homes, but they did not
altogether lose sight of the golden rule in their
eager quest for eligible building sites Let
us hope they will all live long and prosper.

The United States have grown richer by
about S2,000,000 for every working day in
the past ten years. About 81 .000. 900 a
week for the past two years has been
coming to this country from England for

The accumulated wealth of this country
is said to be about SD, 900, 000, 900 to-day,
about four times what it was before the
war.
The farmers produce every year about
$1,000, 000, COO.
The manufacturers produce every year
about $4,000, 900, 600; and that is SI,000,000,-
600 more than the manufactured products
of Great Britain.
More tonnage handled by the railroads
of the United States in 1890 than on all the
railroads of Great Britain, Germany,
France and Russia.
More tonnage through the Detroit River
in 1889 than the entire tonnage clearing at
London and Liverpool IN foreign and
cOaSt-wiSe trade.
More tonnage by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system than by all merchant ships of
Great Britain.
