Senator Lexows opinion that all the cOndl-
lions I'm New-York favor Republican success will
be shared by Republicans generally in all parts
OF the State. He also finds in Governor Flow
ers withdrawal an indication that the Demo
Gratis are badly discouraged and have little hope
Of success. Certainly by retiring Flower the
Democrats will not be able to escape fhe respon-
sibillty for his acts of commission and omission.
Flowers record Is thoroughly bad, and IL he
were a candidate again he would OF course. be
hopelessly riddled. But. as Mr. Lexow remarks,
1.-The record Of Governor Flower is the record
"of the Democratic party In the State" Flower
appointed Maynard; he vetoed the NewYork re-
form measures; he did his best TO prevent the
Senate investigation: the list Of his misdeeds Is
a long one; and his party must shoulder the re-
spousibility, whether he is candidate or not

AILMONEY MEASURES.
The House Will Deal Mainly
With Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, April S.-ApproprIa-
tien bills will have. the right of way in
the house during the week. 1t is the
Intention OF the house managers to push
ahead with these bills and get them out
of the way as soon as possible. Some
of the prominent house Democrats are
alarmed at the slow progress made in
the senate with the tariff bill and the
seeming indifference those in charge of
it are manifesting. They think by
clearing up the work of the house the
country will see that any responsibility
for che delay of the tariff which may
exist will lie at the door of the senate.
The principal fight Involved in the con-
sideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill is that over the subsidy to the
fast Southern mail. 1t may require two
days. to dispose of this single item.
After the postofice bill Is disposed
of the consular and diplomatic
bill will be disposed Of. This
bill will probably be made
b=s for general review of the foreign
relations of the government. The mat
tiers connected with the attempt to re-
store Queen Liliuokalapi will be
threshed over again. The Brazilian
resolution and the action of Commander
Stanton in saluting the insurgent gen.
eral De Mello will come 10 for their
share of attention. as will also the
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, incident and per-
haps the wreck Of the Kearsarge. In
fact The debate Win probably take 9

sALOONkEEPEKS BARRED.
Gin Jugglers Cannot Hold Post
Offices.

Gin Jug2lers Cannot Hold Post
offices.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April SIT may not
be generally known that the postoffice
department in Washington has estab-
lished rule that no man engaged in
the saloon business shall under any
contingency be appointed postmaster.
The rule goes even further-and ig-
nores the application of any man to be
postmaster within the town or city
where he has ever kept saloon at any
time in the past. In other words, sa-
loonkeepers are forever barred out
from patriotically serving their country
in the position of postmaster.
A saloonkeeper might become presi-
dent and appoint postmasters, or he
create postmasters, but gin-jugglers in
the past or present tense may not be
trusted to receive and dispense mail
matter to their fellow citizens. There
fore, those unfortunate individuals who
happen at some remote period In their
past lives to have practiced inside the
bar, and now aspire to postoffice posi-
tions. may Just as we'll withdraw their
applications.
1t will soothe these gentlemen, per-
hapS. to know that they are not pro-
hibited from turning their endorse
mentS over to some friend who has had
a wide and varied practice on the other
side of the bar. Whisky sellers are
barred. Whisky drinkers are still
eligible.

NEWS Is COMMERCE.
Attention Called to q Supreme
Court Decision.

court DECISION.
WASHINGTON, April S.-Gov. Till
mans reported statements that news is
not commerce, and that the interstate
commerce has nothing to do with if. has
directed attention to & decision rendered
by a majority of the supreme court in
1877 bearing indirectly on this subject.
At that time Chief Justice Waite. in
.. delivering the opinion of the court,
held "rhat, since the case Of Glib.
bonS VS.. Ogden. it has never
| been doubted that commercial in
tercourse is an element of commerce
| which comes within the regulating
power of congress-" The question at
issue arose in the case of the Pensacola
Telegraph Company VS.. The Western
Union Telegraph Company. The for.
mer company. which had the exclusive
right to establish and maintain tele-
graph lines in certain counties in
Florida, sought to enjoin the latter COM
pany from using the right of way of the
i Pensacola & Louisville Railroad CON-
pany, which had been granted to 1t to
erect competing telegraph line. on
account of the exclusive right of the
Pensacola Telegraph company under
its cnarter Upon the hearing decree
was passed dismissing the bill, and an
appeal was taken TO the supreme court.
The chief justice, in the course of his
opinion, held as follows:
both commerce and the postal ser
vice are placed within the powers,
of congress because, being national in
their operation. they should be under
the protecting care of the national gov
ernment. The powers thus granted are
not confined TO the instrumentallties of
commerce or the postal service known
or i'm use when The constitution was
adopted, but they keep pace with the
progress of the country and adapt them
selves to the new developments OF time
and circumstances. They extend from
the horse with its rider to the stage
coach and the steamboat to the railroad.
and from the railroad to the telegraph,
as the news agencies are successfully
brought into use to meet the demands
of increasing population and wealth.
They were intended for the government
of the business 10 which they relate at
all times and under all circumstances.
As they were entrusted to the general
government for the good of the nation,
it is not only the right but the duty of
congress to see to it that intercourse
among the states and the transmission
of Intelligence are not obStructed or
unnecessarily incumbered by state
legislation"

TALKING REPUBLICANS
Will Shoot or Their Mouths While
Business Waits.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April SIT is not i'm
probable that Senator Davis may be
heard from ON the tariff bill now before
the senate His friends say that he is
considering the advisability of prepar.
ing an elaborate effort and delivering it
during the progress of the debate.
1t has developed that the Democratic
majority has determined not to go into
an elaborate discussion of the bill, hut
to allow Senator Voorhees, argument TO
stand aione-or nearly so-as the Demo-
cratic presentation of the subject. This
will throw the responsibility for further
delay in the passage of the bill upon
the Republican minority, as 1t is now
expected that nearly every Republican
senator who has any oratorical talent
has determined to deliver himself dur
ing the pendency OF the bill. If this
proves to be the case, it is not unlikely
that the bill will not be brought to a
final vote in the senate before some time
in June. Meantime the business inter-
ests of the country must wait while
Republican orators manufacture cam
paign ammunition.

Horrible Death to One and Fatal
Injury to Another.

Injury to Another.
CHICAGO, April S.-Frank Kennedy
was crushed to death and Frederick
Koenig perhaps fatally injured beneath
an elevator in the Columbus Cloak
company's store this morning. The
men were making some repairs to the
elevator. They had been at work half
an hour when they were startled by
seeing the elevator cable in motion.
They looked up and saw the cage COM
ing down upon them. Before they
could move the cage had cut off all
means of escape. Both Kennedy and
Koenig shouted for help, and then both
were crushed by the heavy cage which
slowly settled down upon them. The
cries were heard by other mem in the
building, who ran to their rescue. The
heavy elevator was quickly raised from
the bodies of the unfortunate men.
Kennedy was dead. and Koenig uncon-
scious. Koenig was terribly crushed
about the chest, shoulders and legs, and
is in a precarious condition. The
attending physicians have hopes. how
ever. of his recovery. How the eleva-
tor started Oh its downward course is
unknown, as there was no one but the
unfortunate men about the shaft. Both
men were married.

lapsed. Four persons were killed and
five were wounded. and there are be-
lieved to be two others in the ruins. All
the killed. injured and missing are
negroes. The building was built in 1860,
and was regarded as unsafe because OF
the inferior quality used in the con.
struction, and the fact that for years
water has stood in the two cellars. The
first floor of LIS was occupied as store
house for feed by j. Wade & Sons. The
upper stories were rented to two negro
families, all of whom escaped unhurt.
The first floor of No. 154 was vacant.

WILL SAY.
HIS POSITION a PROBLEM

Which Will Not Be Solved Until
His Address Is Before the
Public = Indications Strong
That He Will Assail the vii.
son Bill-House to Consider
Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, April S.-If the plans
of the Democratic leaders OF the senate
do not miscarry, the senate will devote
itself almost exclusively this week to
the consideration of the tariff bill. Their
plan is to have the bill taken up each
day Immediately after the conclusion of
routine morning business, which means
that they desire to absorb as much of
the morning hour. which usually lasts
until 2 O'Clock, as possible, and cut out
the discussion of miscellaneous SUBJ
iects, many of which are Introduced
when question like the tariff bill is
under discussion for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning delay. They may not succeed
in getting such an order as this.
but the announcement of the puI pose
of making such an effort In that dlrec-
tion is an indication of their intention
of crowding the debate along as rapidly
as it possibly can be done. The Demo-
cratic members of the finance committee
will also probably undertake to extend
the daily sessions until O'Clock, which
will most likely be resisted by the Re
pubiicanS. Great interest is felt in
Senator Hills speech. which is an
nouncsd TOR tomorrow. 1t is known
from former utterances that he is op-
posed to the income tax. and that while
the bill was in the committee he sought
to have many changes made in the
schedules, and objected to the
WHOLESALE ADOPTION
of the ad valorem system-that indeed
at that time the bill as whole found
very little favor in his eyes. 1t is not
believed that he has changed his mind.
. but he has been very reticent on the
subject since the time of the three days
caucus. Whether Mr.. Hill shall speak
tomorrow in accordance with his an
nouncement will depend upon Senator
PETER. Mr.. PETER has not concluded
the speech begun by him Thursday,
and he will have the floor to proceed
tOuOilOn IL OpOu lie
1t Is considered probable. however. that
he will yield it and continue his ad-
dress later in the week. Senator
Lodge has announced speech for
Tuesday, and may also conf1ict with
Senator PETER. The latter is expected
to consume all of another day, and pos.
sibly two days more. These three
speeches are the only ones positively
announced for the present week, but
there are other senators prepared to
lake the floor when the opening shall
occur. Other questions which may
receive attention during the week are
the Chinese treaty. the Russian thistle
bill and The resolution providing for the
coinage of Mexican dollars in this
country.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, April S.-if the
announced programme Of the strikers is
carried out, tomorrow will be day of
rioting in the coke regions. Opinions
differ as to the real likelihood of the
strikers making good their alleged pur-

meetings have been held over the south
ern end OF the region today, and they
have been literally attended. The
! purpose of these meetings. on the face

march on the plants in operation

set for the assaults OH the works is Just

men of the turbulent element are

strikers are planning to shut off the
