Mr.. j. ]. Van Alien has given the coun-
try genuine surprise. No one thought
he would voluntarily surrender the high
position of ambassador to Italy. He
wanted the place and he received it.
When he was nominated some of the
newspapers said he was not qualified to
fill it, and the republican papers declared
he was given the position because he con
tributed $4,000 to the campaign fund OF
the National Democratic party. Not
withstanding the opposition TO the nomi-
nation it was confirmed. The Senate
committee that had charge of the nomi-
nation undoubtedly made a careful in
vestigation Of Mr. Van Aliens qualifca-
tiOns and if it had not been satisfied OF
his fitness, it would not have reported
it favorably
The attacks which were made upon Mr..
Van Allen were outrageous. He admits
that he contributed sum of money to
the campaign fund Of the Democratic
party, but he denies he did so with the
hope of reward. He believes in the
principles of the democratic party, and he
was anxious that that party should get
control of the government. No doubt
many others helped the party with money,
some Of whom probably have received APP
pointments to important positions.
If men are to be barred from holding
Office because they render their party
pecuniary assistance some of the ablest
and purest men will be kept out of public
life.
There are certain expenses in every
national campaign that must be paid by
somebody. Who is TO pay theme If it is
to be regarded as dishonorable to pay
such expenses only men who have little
regard for their regulations will be con-
tributors and party politics will fall into
bad hands
The cutlery against Mr.. Van Allen was
a senseless one. The newspapers that
started it are those opposed to Mr..
Cleveland. Nearly all of them are re
publican, and they attacked Mr. Van
Allen because Mr.. Wanamaker, who raised
a campaign fund of 400, 600 to assist in the
election of Gen. Harrison, and who was
made Postmaster General, was attacked
by democratic papers.
Mr.. Van Allen declares he did not con-
tribute $4,000 to help elect Mr.. Cleveland.
He gave some money, but no more prob
ably than he would if he had had no hope
Of getting the office for which he was
nominated.
He made mistake in resigning. The
President told him as much He did
just what those VINO were attacking him
wanted him to do. They will now as
sumo a yirtuous tone and declare they
have been instrumental in purifying poll
tics. 1t is pretty safe to say that Mr.. Van
Allen is purer and ADLER man any one
of them.
Mr. Van Allen gains nothing by resign
ing, and loses much. After the Presi
dent had paid him the compliment
of nominating him he ought to have re
spected the Presidents wishes by holding
on to the place. His resignation will be
interpreted by many as q confession of
the truth of the charges made against
him

People are talking about the grip again.
1t is heard of in many cities in this coun-
try. There are said to be numerous cases
of it in some cities. They are of mild
type, however and the disease may not
become epidemic
There is considerable alarm in respect
to it in Europe. 1t is the prevailing topic
of conversation not only in England but
in all other European countries The at
tacks are sudden, and are accompanied
with great prostration. There is no
catarrh, but there is great inflammation
of the throat and eyes. Even the lungs
become involved unless great care is taken
In portions of England and Germany
the schools have been closed, and the at
tendance at parliament is very small on
account of it. 1t has caused a very great
increase in the death rate in London from
lung diseases.
1t differs considerably from the grip
that swept over Europa and this country
a couple of years ago. 1t is not so dan
gorous but is more infectious.

The presence of the Florida excursion
lists in the city this evening will pro5a-
bly, mark the active opening of the holt
day trade. The merchants and the local
purchasers will be stimulated by the
presence Of the visitors to renewed eff
forts to sell and to buy, and the spirit Of
activity thus engendered will hardly flag
before Santa Claus pays his annual visit.
Thus the good effect of the Merchants
Association excursion will extend beyond
the time being.

A peculiar suit for damages was insti-
tuted against the Pennsylvania railroad
in Philadelphia court a few days ago.
Joseph Wood, an elderly man, was at the
Holmesburg junction station of the Penn
sylvania road waiting to take a train. 1t
was shortly after dark, and he was stand
ing near the edge of the platform, when
an express train dashed by. As it passed
a bloody human head, hurled by the train,
struck Wood, knocking him down and so
severely injuring him that he will have
to use crutcnes the remainder of his life
The bloody head that did the damage was
that Of a woman the train struck at
the crossing few rods from where Wood
stood.

The month of November was an excep-
tional one in London. During the whole
of the thirty days the city was almost
fogless. The phenomenon, very natur-
ally, interested scientific men and they
set about looking for an explanation of
the seeming failure of nature to be nat
ural. They, or someo them, have reached
the conclusion that the great coal strike
is responsible for the clear atmosphere.
The London fogs, so it is said, are usually
niue-tenths smoke, and so little coal was
burned in the city during November, be
cause of the strike, that the natural
breezes were sufficient to carry away
the smoke

of the statement of estimated revenue to

time for the minority report until the lat.

a preliminary skirmish The bill. there

A NOVEL ACCIDENT.
Gas Escaping From a Cable Conduit Ixnitet
by FRACTIONAL Heat.

Gas Escaping From Cable Conduit Ixnitod
by FRACTIONAL Heat.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon novel
accident occurred on It'll street, above Chest
nut, Philadelphia. There was sudden putting
sound and burst Of flame through the trac-
ton slot in the center of the street. The cable
had broken gas service pipe crossing the
street, and then FRACTIONAL heat had set it afire,
and it looked like young natural gas well
ablaZe.
Some of the horses would pass over 1t, but
others had to be taken out Of the cars. The
flames rose about foot above the street and
extended six feet along the conduit, within
which they roared. Once a cable car stopped
right over the flames. being blocked by cars
ahead, and it was in danger Of catching fire
every moment.
A city fire engine was called to help traction
out of its new difficulty, and gang of men
from the bureau Of gas was set to work to mend
the break. Meanwhile the break in the service
pipe Is depriving people along the side of the
street Of gas. There was bad temper all
around.
