there is little probability of any
republican pairing with him, that will
mean one vote less for the democrats.
There is still possibility, however,
that enough democrats may vote
with the republicans to carry motion
to postpone consideration of the bill
until next December.
Mr.. Josiah Quincy, of Mass, ex
headsman of the Department of State
will hardly go down to history either
as great statesman or as shrewd
political manager, but it cannot be
denied that Josiah is we'll up in the art
of self preservation. He has asked and
been granted permission by the Senate
committee on printing, which is investi
eating charges which allege that Quincy
was guilty of crookedness IN getting
the contract for printing the Patent
Office Gaz9tte, awarded to parties
with whom he holds peculiar relations
to withhold mis- testimony until all the
evidence against him has been pre-.
sented. Mr.. Quincy frankly stated
that his reasons for asking this favor
was that he did not wish to give the
other fellows any pointers. The com
mittee will push the investigation as
rapidly as possible.
Even the postal cards sold by the
government are poorer and shabbier
under the democratic than they were
under the republican administration.
For proof of this assertion you have
only to compare one Of the democratic
cards with one Of those sold under the
last administration. You will find the
democratic card much flimsier in quail
ity and the printing vastly inferior in
every respect. Verify the country is
going through a period of crawfsh
reform But there is day OF reckon
ing ahead, and the verdict will be
another period of obscurity thirty years
long for the organized incompetency
known as the democratic party.
It will be a long time before any one
who heard Mr.. Bland make that bitter
speech, accusing those members OF the
House who had declined tc vote to
make quorum SO that his bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage, which still
has the House tied up, could be passed
of teaching anarchy and with being no
better than men who would throw
dynamite bombs on the floor and
endanger the lives of those present,
will forget it, if they ever do. Without
entering into the question OF whethe
those who declined to vote wore JUST
ned in so doing-ex Speaker Reed
Insists that it is question which con
Germs only the members and the constlt
uents whom he represents, it can be
truthfully said that a man who could
make a speech as Mr.. Bland made is
utterly unfit to be entrusted with the
management Of any bill on the floor OF
the House. He lost his head, and
no man who loses his head is fitted to
be leader of ether men. BY none
| were his Incorporate words more
severely condemned than by some OF
the silver men whose leader circum
stances had made him. His standing
as man of judgment has never been
high in the House, but he will in the
future have no standing at all. Mr..
Bland insists that his bill will be kept
before the House until it IS voted upon
but it will surprise no one to see 1t side
tracked at any time.

UNPALATABLE TRUTHS.


1t was not to be expeeted that the
speech Of ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New
York, at the dinner of the Southern
Society on Thursday of last week.
in which he declared that the South
ern men now in public life are Gun
educated" and Ignorant" would be
received with pleasure by the Demo.
cratic majority in Congress.
On the contrary it was received
with expressions OF indignation and
contempt.
But apart from the character of
the reception the speech received in
Congress, coming from the unexpec-
ted source it did, the impression the
utterances of Mr.. Hewitt made in
the country at large is Enthusiastically
due to their palpable truth.
The present lower House OF Con
gress is pre- eminently a Southern
House, and Southern men are solely
responsible for its shortcomings. A
Southern man occupies the Speak
er's chair, and invariably names
Southern man to take his place
when he retires temporarily. A
Southern man is at the head OF the
Ways and Means Committee, and
one is also in charge OF the Com
mittee on Rules. The organization
the thing which has the power to
compel attendance and respect is
Southern; and if the South had the
capacity for public affairs, she would
in this Congress, have answered the
criticisms of such men as Abram S.
Hewitt by record the reverse of
which he has written for her. But
what he called ''the blank, Grass
ignorance" of her present generation
OF public men, an ignorance not SO
much of books as OF common. sense,
the needs of the country, practical
ideas and men, has not only oper-
ated to justify his scathing words
it has demonstrated that to the
charge of ignorance must be added |

be sure OF holding whaa it has gained in

sion of the al valorem system. and be-
lieved as many others believed, that
better results would be obtained by
specific duties
Speaking for his own state, he said it
was one Of the great producing and manu-
featuring states of the country. He did
not ask more for it than he was willing
to concede to other states. He believed
that the bill, as it now stood, discrimi-
mated against the state and he made this
statement with no harsh criticism upon
those who had framed the Wilson bill or
the senators who nad amended it. The
bill, as it now stood, discrimna ted in
favor OF New England industries against
those of the Middle States. He and
those who represented these states felt
concessions granted to the men whose
Democracy could not be questioned, and
who felt that their states would suffer if

THE CAUCUS ADJOURNED.
Late this evening the Democratic
caucus abandoned its effort to clarity its
muddle over thu Tariff bill. Its adjourn
ment restores the bill to the charge OF
the Democratic members of the Finance
Committee. who are expected without
Instructions to hear what senators have
to say as to changes of duties and modi-
| ficatiors of the free list. There is nc
pretenss that he caucus has reached

taken upon any schedule or item. The
caucus has merely been the vent for al
the objections in the Democratic ranks
against the bill.

THE Chicago Herald, the lore
most Democratic newspaper OF the
West, says OF the Pennsylvania cleo
ton: "a great change has taken
place in the character of Pennsyl-
vania's population in the last thirty
years. Yet its demand is still the
same. The American workingman
has disappeared from the Common
wealth, and his place has been taken
by degraded and brutallzed foreign
labor, with unpronounceable names,
which is carried on the constantly
diminishing pay rolls by number
only.
THE modern Pennsylvania, a
State of swollen monopoiists, pauper
labor and impoverished farms, made
the same demand yesterday that it
made one, two and three generations
ago, always with a lying pretense
that patriotism was at the bottom Of
it. 1t is not a genuine American
commonwealth that has spoken. II
is a satrapy, corrupt, debilitated and
ignorant. Gee whiz

ELKTON. MARCH 3, 1885,
A REVOLT IN THE SENATE.

The Revolt of the "conservative"
Democrats of the Senate against the
destructive features of the Wilson Bill
has caused the withdrawal of that mea-
sure from the Senatorial Committee of
three to whom it has been entrusted,
and it has now become the "battered
plaything" of the entire Democratic
membership Of that body.
In the interest of the Ohio wool
growers Mr.. Brice has locked horns on
the free wool issue with the Senate sub
Committee which has been consider.
Ing the Wilson bill in star chamber !;
but the savage vigor with which he
attacks their purpose and methods indi
Gates that he has other grievances.
These however are not of personal
character. Ohio, like the States re-
presented by Messrs. Morgan, Pugh,
German ct al, is coal producing
Commonwealth, and is interested in
iron and other manufactures. The
passage of the bill even as amended
by the Senate Sub committee means
disaster to the Industries named and
MIR. Brice says:
eve have here great measure at
fecting the whole country, yet it was
made up without the aid of Represent
atives of the States of New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and others
forming that great belt of common.
wealths which control the business
affairs of the country, and ought to
have voice in such an important
matter. New York and Ohio, two
States having a population of 1900
600 people and fifty Representative in
Congress, were shut out entirely from
any participation. y But now
this Tariff bill framed in the dark with
out party consultation, comes to the
Senate. 1t was placed in charge of
three Senators ex Confederate
brlgadiers, all living south of Mason
and Dlxons line and west of the Mis-
slssippi river, all cotton planters and all
idealists. These men assume control
OF measure of vast importance to the
great business and financial States
have mentioned, and the Northern Sen
ators have right to know something
about it and have some voice in its
framing. We shall tell our
outhern friends in the conference that
4 they persist they will destroy the
PARTY. The recent elections show that
tendency ID States on which Democracy
is dependent for success"
1t Is evident that the 80, majority
for Mckinley in Mr.. Brice's State has
had some effect on this Democratic
Senator. What he says is known to be
the sentiment of the other Senators
named, although they decline to be
interviewed for publication. German
and Gibson speak for iron as well as
coal Murphy for the factories having
their headquarters at his home in Troy !;
while Smith OF New Jersey, and Hill,
of New York, view the general field.
The chance to render the country a
real service by halting the Democracy
in what Senator Brice aptly calls an
intention to ruin the country is at their
hand, and it is possible that they may
combine to embrace It.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. &c, 49,

WASHINGTON, Feb 26, 1894.
Democratic cuckoo and anti cuckoo
Senators have temporarily buried the
Ratchet and are now engaged in fal
nore important fight; the tariff being
the battle ground. There are ten
democratic Senators who demand more
home protection than the sub com.
mlttee is willing to give them. A
caucus OF democratic Senators was
held this morning, but In as much as II
was understood beforehand that no
action binding upon the Senators was
to be taken 1t has resulted in accomp-
fishing nothing and the fight is still on.
The sub committee tried to reach a
compromise by taking coal, IRON ore
and sugar from the free list and put
ting small duty upon each of them,
but that appears not to have pleased
either the free traders or the home
protectionists. The former are kicking
because these articles were taken from
the free list and the latter because the
duty placed upon them is too low. 1t
is impossible to say what effect this
fight will have upon the fate of the bill.
1t may be that the home protectionists
are, as the free traders say they are,
making a grand bluff in order to secure
the highest possible duties for the
articles they favor, and that they will in
the end fall into line and support the
bill. The retention of the income tax
has made it certain that the three
populists will support the bill and
Senator Stewart, of New, may go with
them. In that case the republicans
will only have thirty seven sure votes
against the bill, making it necessary
for six democrats to vote with them to
defeat 1t. If reports are true concern
ing the condition of Senator Vance's
health he will not be able to return to
Washington to vote for the bill, as

direction of National affairs. With a
majority larger than any party has
had since war times, the majority
cannot even compel a quorum of its
own members to remain at its meet
ings and transact such miserable
public business as it has the ability
and courage to conceive.
The permanent remedy for this
condition OF affairs lies, OF course,
in the sending to Congress of prac-
teal men from all States, but this is
too much to expect of the South.
Mr.. Hewitt's division of the South
eners of today into three classes
those who 90 to New York and
engage in business, those who have
not money enough to do this, and
go into business at home, and those
who, being able to do nothing else,
go into politics-was not wholly an
imaginative flight The Grass ignor
ance of which he complains has been
manifested at every important step
the Democracy has This session
taken, and its effects are shown in
the hopeless confusion and divisions
in the party and its loss of all public
confidence and respect. Beyond
this, however, we can hope for no
betterment OF affairs, except by the
adoption OF the Reed rules or code
embodying their central idea. The
disordered, squabbline .inchoate mass
calling itself the Democratic party in
the House is the only vindication
Mr.. Reed required, and its only
possible hope of lifting itself out OF
the public contempt is by the adopt
ion of the parliamentary reform
which it wasted so much time in
holding up to ridicule and scorn.

The Railway Situation,
Editorial in Washington Post.l

Editorial in Washington POSt.l
Ia the speech OF Hon. Thomas b. Reed,
made at the Academy of Music, in Phil
delphia, The other day, he called attention
to the fact that we have more miles of rail
road in this country in the hands OF
receivers than there are in all of Great
Britain.
The Cause of this can be traced very
largely to the paralysis of business all over
the country, making the struggle for what
there is so great that the low rates, which
have thereby been brought about by the
competition of the trunk lines, have ceased
20 be remuuerative.
Is this condition of fairs healthy one
for either the shippers or the owners of the
roads ?
Since the passage of the interstate COM
merce law the leading roads have been
busy gathering up their tributaries into a
consolidation or lease-hold system.
Long before man trod Oh this planet the
law of the Survival of the fittest' was as
supreme as it is today.
Rivalry aud competition breed couquer-
ors; the weak 60 down and the stronger
gather up the wrecks, and so rapidly has
this been going on that if it continues few
years more dozen men will eventually
control the entire railroad system of the
country, and then there viii he "a uniform
tariff made that the public will lie power
less to resist
Today there is but a single transcoL-
tinental system not in the hands of receiv-
ers, in part at least, and that is the Great
Northern, which is not completed, and still
having the benefG of bonds to sell from
which interest eau be paid a little while
longer.
The Northern Pacifc, with its mileage OF
over 5000 miles; the Union Pacitic, with
nearly 5000 miles, aud the Atchison, with
over 1000, have struck their colors before
the waste of unhealthy competition, and
is kept from the same evil ending by two OF
its large stock holders, who may sooner or
later get tired of their load
The great Pennsylvania Railroad, with
nearly 6000 miles, and the New York Cent
raj Railroad, with the personal holdings of
the Wander bits in their connecting lines,
already approximate $4,000 miles
How long will it be before these roads,
with their uprivaled credit, will gather in
the whole of the lines ROW in the receivers
hands, and to be had at their own prices?
The piracy of the Can adam Pacific upon
our own roads is a crying evil that seems
to be tolerated as though il could not be
corrected, aud yet it will have to be some
time, and the ability OF that road, main
tanned by enormous subsidies of the Can
adam government, to prosper while the
American roads are being forced to the wall
will not always continue to be passed over
in silence.
Unless Congress is DESTROYS of having the
already rapid march of consolid alton hast
ened still farther, they shoI lid 50 amend
the interstate commerce act as to stop the
stealing of business that belongs to the
tran sentimental lines, and by some plan
OF dividing the business at living rates let
the weaker ones live little longer
In hard times like these we live very fast
in such matters.

THE way in which disgruntled
Democrats turn to Hill these days
must be calling to Presidential pride.
For Mr.. Cleveland to find appeals
from his own decision taken to the
New York Senator by members OF
his own party from other States
than New York must, indeed, be d
trial to his temper. The latest OF
these appeals comes from the Windy
City, where the Democracy Of Cook
county are offended by certain Fed
eral nominations, and at their head
quarters have turned Mr.. Cleveland S
picture to the wall and substituted
one of David B. Hill, to whom an
earnest prayer had been offered up
that he use all his influence in the
Senate to knock out the most object
ionable of the men the President has
named. From what we already
know of Hills influence it is not
impossible that this appeal may
nave successful issue and that the
Presidents choice may again be
repudiated. Harmony between the
administration and the Senatorial
cabal which follows Hill seems TO be
further off than ever.
