A correspondent OF the Pennington
Chronicle brings forward the name of
James Morrison of Phillips as a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Congress from the second district. With
out disparaging Mr.. Morrison in the least
it is difficult to see at this distance what
the Republicans of that district would
gain by retiring their present representa-
tive whose long experience has given
him an influence in the House which a
new member could not have for many
years no matter what his ability The
great influence of Maine in the House of
Representatives, an influence altogether
disproportionate to her population or her
wealth, has been largely attributable to
the fact that when she has sent an able
man to the House she has continued to
send him. A reversal of that policy
would soon destroy her influence or very
much reduce it.

SAVING STONE LOGS.
The Work of Remarkable Mill Operated
by Geological Survey.

There are many novelties in the gov
eminent departments at Washington.
and especially in the scientific
bureaus. The most novel that has yet
been discovered is petritied lumber
mill operated by the Geological Survey.
1t is an institution that has not many
visitors, its location down in the base
ment of the Survey building on f street
being rather out of the track of the regu-
lation sightseer, but there the Survey
lapidaries grind thin sections of rock
and minerals of all sorts for microscopic
examination, and there is band saw,
the invention of the Survey, that will
cut anything from hot butter to a
quartz crystal.
Lately the scientists have been saving
up lot of vegetable pertifactions from
Idaho. They can carve up anything in
the shape Of perified logs that they can
get in front Of their saving machine.
Even the ossifed man of the dime
museum would not be safe from them.
and, indeed, lately they were called on
to cut up petrified woman, one that
was on exhibition in Washington. AT
ter they had bored into one of the dam
sells lower limbs little way they struck
gaspipe. The petrifed lady was made
out of Portland cement and the scien-
fists gave her up as hard case which,
in fact, she was.
But the most interesting case that, has
come to the petrified Ium Der mill lately
was known as cycad, sort of veg eta
BILE parasite which dourished in the pre-
historic forests of the country some
millions of years ago, before the woolly
elephants and sabre toothed tigers had
made their appearance in the Businesses
ofsthe Rocky Mountains. and even back
farther than local traditions
are carried in Alexandria. The
cycads were practically an
| unknown quantity The lot sent in was
in fact the greatest collection that had
ever been gathered, some small speci-
| mems having been secured by the British
Museum, but nothing to compare with
| the giant 900-pound one that is now at
the National Museum. One OF the small

The Springfield Republican which can
not be accused of any bias in favor of
the Republicans has this to say in regard
to the New Jersey senatorial imbroglio:
"The situation in the New Jersey leg
islature is deplorahlA The rival Sena-
tors have not sestled their difference and
the business the people want done at
Trenton is at a standstill. The Demo-
Gratis are open to severe censure in this
matter and they deserve to get it. Hav-
ing won prestige as the lawful body the
Democratic Senate has refused to recog-
nize the propriety and justice of che at,
torney-generaPs opinion to the effect that
the newly-elect Republican senators
according to all practice have right to
their seats before the Senate is organ
lied. By this course the Democrats have
made it clear that their real purpose is
to prevent by hook or crook a Republi-
can organization of the Senate. The pres
emit prospect is that the will of the people
as expressed at the recent election will
be negatived by a base conspiracy un-
less through quo warranto proceedings
from which the Repu blicans could not
expect much il the courts should decide
against the Democratic tricksters.n

The Evolution of the Cuckoo.
concord Monitor.l

Many people have forgotten the deriva-
tion of the word "cuckoo" as applied
to the thick and the followers of Pesi-
dent Cleveland, and to refresh their
memory we publish brief account of
the circumstances which gave the word
it's peculiar significance.
Almost every one is familiar with
those Swiss clocks which, when the hour
is struck, permit the figure of cuckoo
to appear from a little trapdoor. The
tiny bird echoes each stroke of the clock
with its peculiar note, but new er emits
a sound until the clock has taken the
lead: and then disappears, to remain
silent until again called forth by the
striking of the hour.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, in the
course of discussion of the silver oues-
ton during the extra session of Congress
on one occasion alluded to the enemies
of silver as SO many "cuckoos.n obedi-
emily repeating the strokes of the White
House clock-Mr. Cleveland, The smile
was so apt that it attracted wide atten-
ton at the time, and the word has since
become common term to Designate
the supporters of the administration in
Congress-
When the silver repeal bill passed the
Senate and came back to the House for
final action, Mr.. Tracey, of Albany. N.
Y, who had taken a lively interest in
the proceedings, rose to thank his
Democratic colleagues for their obedi-
ence to Mr.. Cleveand's commands. His
remarks were interrupted by shrill cry
of "Cuckool" raised by an irreverent
representative and so Tracey acquired
the name of Cuckoo Tracey. and
the name has since become a general
term for the Clevelandites.

ter about it that reconsideration was
carried and the resolution was referred
to the executive committee who will let
it slumber until next year. Then reso-
luton approving Mr.. Cieveland's Hawaii

it was so savage that the chairman by a
ruling referred it to the same committee
which will never rssurrect it. Nothing
like harmony was restored until they
sat down to the banquet. In their hun
ger and thirst they were united.

Ex-Mayor Jones of Waterville has
resigned from the Democratic State
Committee, giving as reason that his
self-respect will not permit him longer to
be identified with a crowd who, with
hardly an exception. are using their po-
sitions not for the advancement of the
party but for their own personal aggran-
dizement. The New Age, the Augusta
organ of the party, confirms all that Mr..
Jones has to say in regard to the state
committee, and adds some interesting de-
tails of their performances 1t says that
Immediately after the presidential cleo
ton the committee got together and pro-
ceeded to parcel out the offices. All but
two of the members were candidates for
some Office. and they proceeded to en-
dorse the claims of each other. On all
candidates for local offices they imposed
an assessment or fee of $40, accompany
ing it with thinly disguised threat that
if the money was not forthcoming the
candidates could expect no help from
the state committee. Chairman Dona-
van is accused of endorsing candidates
for important Offices two days after cleo
ton and of refusing even to consider
the claims of prominent Democrats.
Charley Morton, who is head dispen-
ser of offices, and whose will seems to be
law, is accused of saying in 1892 that he
should prefer Democratic defeat to four
years more of Cleveland. The New Age
thinks there is a successful future for
the Democratic party of Maine, but that
it can only come when the Morton Dona-
van wing is relegated to the rear. A.
These signs of dissension in party
whose mission it is to save the country,
are very painful. But it is hardly fair
to visit all the responsibility upon the
Morton-D onavan combination. The
larger part of it belongs to Grover Cleve-
land, who has recognized this combina-
ton and conferred upon it all the power
it has. If they dictate who shall fill the
offices, it is because Cleveland permits
them to. To abuse Morton and Donavan
and at the same time sound the praises
of Grover Cleveland who has conferred
upon them the power to use the offices
for their personal aggrandizement is in
consistent and absurd.

Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan's chicken has come
home to, roost. He is the presiding
officer of the New York Senate, and at
the last session of the legislature he
held that in the absence of rules the pre-
vious question could be invoked to shut
off debate in the Senate. While this rul-
ing was probably right on it's merits,
there is no doubt that the Lieutenant
Governor was strongly influenced in
making it by the fact that it would great
~ help the Democrats who were then in
control of the Senate. The present ses-
sion of the Senate found Sheehan still in
the chair, but the majority On the floor
was reversed, and much to his chagrin
when the Republicans sought to stop
debate by moving the previous question
he was compelled by his last winters
record to sustain them. The result is
that the Republicans have secured the
adoption of rules limiting debate and
also a rule for counting a quorum. In
support of the latter they were able to
quote a ruling which Gov. Hill made
some years ago-the ruling which Speak
er Reed cited when he introduced the
quorum counting rule into the House of
Representatives. The consequence is that
the Republicans in both branches of the
New York legislature will have complete
control of legislation, without adopting
a single rule that has not been endorsed
by eminent New York Democrats.
