ICoNIMUNICATED.

Our popular young fellow towns
man, Edwin Byrne, has, suddenly and
without previous hint to many of his
even familiar friends, projected n
surprise upon Us. He has not mapped
out and in a day bnilt a new suburban
line of railway connecting us with the
capital, or emulatcd Edison in start
ling the world with a new and novel
conception, or, by coup d etat, revo-
lutionized department Of trade or in
dustry or formulated new tariff bill
that the Senate will pass, or done any
other thing oflike great Importance; but
he has accomplished a stroke of policy,
and good policy at that, of far deeper
concern, at least to him, than any OF
the feats above mentioned. He has
caused to be fastened upon his own
person the graphing hooks of the
marital ceremony and contract which
for good bind him in the holy bonds of
matrimony with Miss Mary King, our
estimable young townswoman, a trans
action which took place in Washington
city at the residence of Cornelius A.
Brown at No. 1884 B street southwest
at : o'clock o. M, April %, 1894. Alex
andria sincerely wishes the greatest Joy
to these young contracting parties.

The republican legislature Of New
York endorsed Senator Hills opposi-
ton to the income tax, but that the
voters of his party, even in his own
State, do not, is made plain by the fact
that those of the sixteenth assembly
district thereof have declared in favor
Of such tax, In view Of the present
character and condition of the vast
majority OF the people of this country,
the talk about an income tax being OBJ
iectionable TO the voters of any party,
proves that those who indulge in it are
simplctons, or else believe that those
who listen to them are.

As Is only natural, the first effect Of
the coal strike has been to increase the
price ofcoal. That increase is as moth
ing TO the rich, but to the poor it is a
great deal as it adds to the cost of liv-
ing, already too great for many to bear.
The strikers idea is that an injury to
one is the concern Of all, and not that
the injury to many is the concern of
few That the latter is the more con-
ducive to the general welfare goes
without saying. But as strikers have no
reasonable regard for their own inter-
sts,they can't be supposed to have any
for those of other people.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL IS, 1894

THE FACT that Nicaraguan creditors
have seized and sold the property OF the
Nicaragua Canal Company to satisfy
judgments for debt, is not conducive TO
the success Of the scheme by which
that company is trying to induce tne
government of the United States 10
give them hundred million dollars
An intcrocean canal through the ter
ritory of Nicaragua, and therefore sole
" within the jurisdiction OF the govern
ment ofthat country, may or may rot
prove very profitable to the few who
would have control gifts receipts; but
why5li the 100000 people of this
country should be taxed to raise the
money to build it. Tor the especial ben
eft of the few referred to, is what they
neither understand nor will agree to.
1.-THE company are so keen set on hav-
inc the canal, and are so confident OF
its enormous profits, why don't they
build it themselves, instead of trying to
make Congress tax people who will
have no interest ii to do so for them?

THE most ridiculous game of bluff
ever attempted in a legislative assem-
bly, was essayed in the U. S. Senate
Yesterday, when Mr.. Aldrich, who, by
the by, is somewhat noted for ''foolin
with the kyards," bantered the demo-
Gratis to vote on the tariff billa amend
ed by the Senate. but backed out when
his offer was accepted. Is is any Won
der that a body, which has so lost its
Retrospect as to permit and condone
such tricks, should have lost the re-
spect of the country?

EX PRESIDENT HARRISON doesn't
hold to the idea that sauce forthe goose
is sauce for the gander. He recently
advised the students in California
college to shun politics and beware of
political ambition, but day or two ago
he served public notice on Messrs. Nc
Kinley, Reed and the numerous other as
pirauts for the Presidential nomination
of his party, that they would have to
hustle, as he intends to be sin it, " and to
remain so until the end. He undoubt-
edly believes that preceptis better than
example. Then, too, he likes to re-
ward friends and to punish enemies,
and has other human desires that can
be gratifed in the White House.

The motion for new trial in the
case of Pollard vs.. Breckenridge was
overruled in Judge Bradiey's court
this morning. The defendant was
present in person, and was also repre-
sented by Major Shelby and Mr.. H.
w. Mckenny, of his counsel. The
plaintiff was not present but was repre-
sented by her attorneys, eN-Judge
jeremiah NJ. Wilson and Mr.. Calder
on Carlisle. Mr.. Carlisle stated that
the attorneys on both sides desired to
have the defendants motion for new
trial taken up as soon as possible.
Before the Judge replied Mr. KcKenny
stated that unless there was something

SECRETARY GRESHAM says that "an
American citizen who voluntarily takes
au oath TO support and bear true allegi-
ance to a foreign power, contemplating
participation in its affairs, probably
abandons his right to claim protection
from the United States" Where the
probability comes in may be plain to
the Secretary of State, but it can hard
ly be so to any body else. When a
man willingly expatriates himself and
becomes a sworn citizen of another
country, his native land is relieved Of
all responsibility on his account, and
though to avoid the consequences of his
own actions he may forswear his new
citizenship, the obligations thereof re-
main upon him until he can be renatu-
rallied, and till then his native country
must let him paddle his own canoe.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
SENATE.

A call of the Senate had to be again
resorted to this morning to secure the
attendance ola quorum before the reg
ular proceedings OF the day were begun.
4 request for unanimous consent to
proceed to the consideration OF o pri-
vate bill on the calendar was objected
to by Mr.. Hale on the ground that at
ter the morning business each day the
remnant of the morning hour-really
two hours-might be spent in the regu-
lar consideration Of business on the
calendar.
In few minutes afterwards the Vice
President announced that the morning
business was disposed of, and there
upon, at 11:30 g. M, Mr.. Harris moved
that the Senate proceed to the consid-
Grafton of the tarifbiil. In response to
a request by Mr.. Allen to allow some
business On the calendar to be taken
up, Mr. Harris remarked that the dispo-
sition of the tariff bill was of vastly
more importance than the consideration
of ali the bills on the calendar put to-
gether, and he insisted on his motion.
Are we not entitled" Mr.. Allen
said in remonstrance, ''to have some
business transacted in the morning hour
independent of the tariff bill? I real
ize AS fully as the Senator from Ten
nessee the necessity of acting promptly
on that measure, and am perfectly will
ing to GO to work at 10 o'clock in the
morning and continue in session up TO
9 or 10 o'clock at night The Senator
from Tennessee has my sympathy to a
great extent"
The question was taken on Mr.. Har-
ris's motion and it was agreed TO Yeas,
81; nays 10. So the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of the tariff bill.
Mr. Hale inquired as to the parlia-
mentary status Of the bill, and was in
formed by the Vice President that it
was being considered in the committee
of the wbolc-the pending question be-
date when the bill is to GO into effect
from the 1st to the 30th of June, 1894.
SO that pursued Mr.. Hale, "a bill
OF 206 pages. covering every industry
of the country and covering doubtful
results to many Of them, is to go into
eiloct only 30 days ahead. | appeal to
the Senator from Tennessee to let this
part of the bill remain Enacted npon
until We have more daylight. until we
can see through and know what is
likely to be done. | do not believe"
he continued, that the Senator from
Tennessee knows what is going on in
by-ways and corners and holes in the
wall, in which an attempt is being
made to fix bill that will gain the
votes of more Senators than are now
prepared to vote for it.
Mr. Hale was followed by Senators
sherman and Stewart.
