REPUBLICAN, PROTEST.
Republican Members of the Kansas Legis
Iature File Their Protest Against Senate

Republican Members of the Kansas Legis-
Iature File Their Protest Against Senator
Martin.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The seventy
seven members of the Kansas legisla-
ture who ask that an investigation be
made into the right of Martin to his
seat as a senator from Kansas say that
IT these Seventy-Seven members had
been permitted to vote no one would
have had a majority of all the votes
cast in the joint assembly and that
there would have been no election of a
United States senator.
They therefore resolved to enter their
solemn protest against what they de-
clare to be the revolutionary and ille-
gal transaction and instructed the pres
ident of the joint assembly to appoint
3 committee to prepare formal state
ment and emphatically protest to the
senate Of the United States, which pro-
test was the one presented to the SEN
ate yesterday. The memorial concludes
with the following:
We, the undersigned members Of the senate
aud house of representatives Of the state OF
Kansas, duly elected and occupying seats in
our respective houses, who were present in
Representative hall on January q, $685. at II

vote for Hon J. W. Ady, after said presiding
ofhcer had abandoned the chair, do protest
against the admission of Hon. John Martin as
a senator from Kansas. for the reason that he
did not receive majority of the legal votes
cast in said assembly, and was not elected
If only those members elected to the legiSia-
ture have right to vote in the joint assembly,

A SIGNIFICANT SHOWING.
Public Opinion Still in Favor of the Dem
ocratic Party.


On the whole, the democrats have
done well in the spring elections. Chi
cago elected a democratic mayor in
spite of the formidable revolt in the
party against the nominee. In Cincin-
natl and other Ohio towns the demo-
Gratis divided the offices with their op-
ponents, and got fair share. In ST.
Louis the republicans got all the offices
but one, and this is about the only vic
tory of which they have a right to
boast. Rhode Island has given dem
ocratic plurality for governor, and has
elected two democratic congressman,
both of whom were in a minority at the
November election.
These results are all the more signifi-
can't when we compare them with the
April elections four years ago. The re-
publicans had then just succeeded in
displacing the democrats, who had had
control OF the executive branch of the
federal government for four years. The
d1Str1 button of patronage was in active
progress then, as now, only republicans
We're taking the places of democrats,
instead of democrats succeeding repub-
HcanS. The spring elections of 1889
showed remarkable revolt against the
party that had just succeeded to power.
Chicago, which two years before had
elected republican mayor by 10000
majority, chose a democrat by $4,000.
Cincinnati, which had given Harrison a
big majority, divided the offices. st.
Louis went democratic, and majority
of the town elections in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa showed democratic
gains. Rhode Island, which had given
Harrison 4, 436 plurality in November,
1888, gave a democratic plurality of
4,419. 1t is true that the conditions of
suffrage had just been changed in that
state, and number of new voters ad-
mitted, but the republican vote, which
had been 2O,769 in April, 1883, fell off
to 6,S70 in April, 1889, while there was
large increase in the democratic vote.
All these things, taken together,
were construed by democrats to mean
that the people were not well satisfied
with the new administration. The re-
publican press tried to ridicule this in.
depreciation, but mark what followed.
Ohio elected a democratic governor in
the November following. Indiana,
which went republican in 1888, has
been carried by the democrats every
year since. The same may be said of
Illinois. Iowa elected a democratic
governor in 1889, and reelected him in
1891. The symptoms of dissatisfaction
were, therefore, correctly interpreted
in the spring of 1889, by the democratic
press, inasmuch as subsequent events
fully supported what it then said.
The elections of this spring are sig
nifcant to this extent, that they fail to
show any marked change in public
opinion since the November election.
The democratic party retains the con-
fidence of the masses of the people,
which is a good deal more than could
be truly said of the republican party
four years ago.-Louisville Courier
Journal

they are led by men who instinctive1y
sympathize with them and think they
are doing the highest possible service to
the cause of humanity in leading them
where they wish to go. Under such
leadership the democratic party is at
all times irresistible, but it is idle to
expect that it will display the same en-
thusiasm now that it did while en-
gagged in the work of evicting Harrison
from TIE white house. Having in Mr..
Cleveland a president they can trust to
do his best for the country, and know
ing that, whether they understand him
or he understands them, they can rely
on him to do all in his power for the
welfare of the country, democrats are
! going about their business, leaving the
affairs of government to the members
of the administration, and leaving the
repu blicans to do the shouting and per-
spring in poEtics.-St. Louis Republic.

Death In the PIT.

LONDON, April IA spark from an
engine yesterday ignited the gas in ths
coal pit near Pont-y-Pridd, Wales, and
caused the gas to explode A large
number of miners were at work at the
time and the explosion caused terrible
havoc. The exact number. of lives lost
is not known, but it is reported that
twenty persons Were killed and many
others were more or less seriously in
jured- Nearly two hundred miners ara
entombed in the mine. The rescuers
who went down were driven back with
out being able to bring up more than
five of the dead and the fate of the
other miners is in doubt The most
agonizing scenes are witnessed and a
crowd of men, women and children,
relatives of those below are crowding
around the mouth of the coal pit The
worst fate is feared for hundreds of
miners.
LITTLE HOPE FOR THE MINERS.
The pit Is worked in sections, one
being above another. The fire result
ing from the explosion broke ont in the
eastern section From this section
seventy men succeeded in reaching the
surface through the main dip working,
led by miner who knew the roads.
They had terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through fire and
smoke. Many Of them were scorched
and all were terribly exhausted when
they emerged to safety. They brought
no good news of those who were left
behind, but on the contrary expressed
their dread that all those in the mine
had persisted.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

The Interstate Commission Renders an
Opinion in the Southern Egg Case.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The inter
state commerce commission IN az cP:za-
ion by Commissioner McDill, announced
its decision Of the case of Charles H
Brownen against the Columbus & Gin
cinnati Railroad company in favor of
the defendant. Upon complaint al
leging unjust discrimination against
carload shippers of eggs in
favor of shippers in less than car loads,
it appeared that under the official
classification" eggs take second-class
rates for car loads or less quantities;
that the commodity is carried in re-
frigerator cars; that for carload ship
ments, ice to the amount of 5000
pounds is furnished by the carrier
without extra charges; that less than
carload shipments are taken from 10
cal stations in pickup cars to dis
tributing points and forwarded in car
loads to New York and other large
markets: that notwithstanding the
special facilities afforded to small ship
ments by the carriers, the large dealers
control 50 per cent of the traffic
Held, that no unjust discrimination
results to the carload shipper from the
equal rating of carload and less than
carload lots, and the special service
rendered in gathering and forwarding
small shipments, and the complaints
should therefore be dismissed Com
missioner Morrison disSented.

REPUBLICANS RALIYlNG.
The G. 0. p. Is Now Doing All the Shout
ing and Perspiring.

The G. 0. p. Is Now Doing All the Shout
ing and Perspiring.
AS long as Harrison was in the white
house threatening the country with his
policy of radicalism the democrats were
united and aggressive all over the
United States But now that they have
in the white house man in whose hon
esty of purpose they have entire con-
fdence they are devoting much less at
tention to politics and more to private
business.
The result is clearly seen in the late
western town elections. There is no
installing the meaning of them, as it is
everywhere plain on the face of the re-
turns. The democrats are not taking
nearly as much interest in politics as
they did last year, while the republic
ans are taking. more.
This was to be expected. 1t is pos
sible that in the west at least the re-
publican party might have been finally
demoraliZed if in its national policies
the democratic party had been pre-
pared to assert its principles and vindi-
cate its traditions at every point of the
line. This, however, it was not prepared
to do. It's national policy is thoroughly
and positively democratic in the matter
of tariff reform, but in nothing else in
that practical way that enlists the en-
thusiastic cooperation of democratic
voters who have no axes to grind and
who are not applicants for office. The
theories of the party platform are all
that theories ought to be, but until
they become the vitalizing spirit of
party policies they are mere barren
localities.
They are foolish who expected that
the republican party could be disor-
ganized on the single issue of tariff
reform. That is great issue, it is
true, but to give the rank and file of
the democratic party the enthusiasm
that wins great and lasting victories it
must have one of two things-either an
opponent in power who tramples in the
most ruthless way on all it holds sacred,
or else a leader who is in thorough
sympathy with it, who has a quick and
intuitive perception of its thoughts,
desires and aspirations.
In Harrison, democrats had an OPP
ponent calculated to stir them to their
utmost exertion. The result was ap-
parent last year. Now the republicans
are ra1lying, as it is easily possible for
them to do. when they are not con-
fronted by that determined opposition
that democrats will offer when their
party is in administration only in case

CROCODILE EGGS.
a Great Delicacy Among the Indians of
South America.

a Great Delicacy Among the Indians of
South America
Crocodile eggs are considered a great
delicacy by the Indians of Orinoco, who
roast them in hot ashes just before
they are ready to hatch They have a
white skin like parchment, yielding to
the touch when handled, yet SO tough
that it is quite difficult to break them.
They are about twice the size of tur-
key egg, and the Indian who likes them
need never go hungry during the croco-
dies breeding season, for they are eN-
ceedingly plentiful. Each female croc-
odile will lay on an average forty eggs.
These she deposits in hole in the
sand, leaving them to be Matched by
the hot sun
Despite her generally wicked ways
and bad reputation for general cussed-
ness, the female crocodile exhibits in a
variety of ways a strength of maternal
tenderness that is surprising. After
depositing her eggs in the nest she
carefully covers them with sand to save
them from the ichneumon and various
reptiles who prey upon them, and who
succeed in finding large numbers of
them in spite of her care. Then when
the period of incubation is over she re-
turns with infallible instinct and assists
them in their first efforts to get on in
the world.
After leading them to the nearest
water, however, she leaves them to shift
for themselves, which they are abun-
dainty able to do, for they begin snap
ping and biting at everything within
reach before they are fairly out of the
shell and take to fishing as contentedl
as though instructed by Izaak Walton.

DECREASED EXPORTS.

An Enormous Falling Off in Breadstuffs-
Sufficient to Account For Gold Exports.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE advance
sheets of the report of the'chief of the
bureau of statistics of the exports of
breadstuffs for the nine months which
ended March 81 show an enormous fall
ing off from the exports of the CORE
spending time last year, but there is an
increase compared with the exports OF
1S90-91 and also 1SS9-90. For the month
of March, 1893, the exports of bread
stuffs were $40, 407, 1SS, against $77, 17O,-
719 in March, 1892. That seems like an
alarming falling off but the exports in
March this year were s2S, 900, 900 larger
than in March, 1891, and S25, 600, 900
larger than in 1890.
The total exports for the nine months
which ended March 81, 1898. were s145,-
O32, 1865, against 1888, 159, 912 for the same
period of last year, ss5, 257 900 two years
ago and S11O, 626, 377 three years ago.
The exports of corn fell off for the
nine months ended March 81 from SOL
624, 1874 in 1892 to s13, 645, 5SS in 1898. But
two years ago they were s12, 753, 900.
The exports of wheat for the nine
months ended March 81, 1892, in value
amounted to $3.50, ,96S, while for the
nine months period which has just end
ed the exports of wheat fell to 81, $50,
400. Two years ago, for the correspond
ing time, they were s31, 7s2, 900; three
years ago, S34, $40, 900.
The falling off in meat products and
in cotton is also large, while there has
been an increase in imports, making
the balance of trade strongly against
the country. The chief of the bureau
of statistics said that the showing for
last month was worse than for any
time during the last four years since he
had been at the head of the 7~rreau.
The amount of the balance of trade
against this country is startling.
