Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-04-23

Forty-seven Democrats in the house
stood out to the last and voted against
the adoption of the rule for counting a
quorum, but its adoption was inevitable,
and, as long as it seemed impossible to
keep Democratic quorum on hand it is
perhaps just as well. There will be no
more dead-locks this session. That is
much to be thankful for. The Republi-
cans are pretending to be much pleased
over the adoption of the rule, but as a
matter of fact they are not. 1t ends
their ability to make trouble whenever
they pleased, and for that reason is dis
liked by them. 1t is not probable that
the new rule will be put in force often.
Its existence is all that will be needed
to make voting quorum, as a rule.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Anril 20. 1891

w aShlnglOn, April ~, lSJI.
The more one studies the work of the
Democratic senators the more apparent
it becomes that they need leader
There is too much guerrilla fighting
Single leadership is as necessary in
politics as in an army, if results are to be
accomplished. 1t may please the per-
strike out on his own hook and make a
brilliant attack on party measure, but
the example is fatal to party harmony,
as it is always followed by those who
never would have attempted to lead
such a movement. 1t is not necessary
that leader shall have more ability
than any of his followers. All that is
needed is that one man shall be recog-
nized as leader. The full significance of
this will be plain to any Democrat who
will take the trouble to ask half dozen
Democratic senators to name the Demo-
cratic leader of the senate, and note the
number named. Now, there may be a
dozen leading Democratic senators, but
there should be and can be only one
real leader at time. If the Democratic
senators had one recognized leader the
party would be spared the spectacle of
the uncertainty now surrounding the
tariff bill. OF course every Democrat
knows that the senate is going to pass a
tariff bill, but there is no man who can
now say just what sort of bill it will be
when it is passed. This situation, with
clear Democratic majority in the
senate, is humiliating to every Democrat
and should not be possible and would
not be if the Democratic senators were
organized as good party men should be-
The attempt to saddle part of the res
| possibility for this unfortunate state of
affairs upon President Cleveland fools

tude the president occupies towards the
senate. His skirts are clear:

This formerly ran out in a long trough
and formed culm banks, large heaps of
waste material, which can be seen at
every breaker in the region. There is
probability that much of this will find
market if the new CRATES come into wide
use.
The effects of this new device on labor
will be watched with interest. 1t is one
of the sanguine expectations of the firm
that each boiler house may be run by
two men, and one Of the superintendents
has already declared that this will be
the limit, no matter how large or small
the place. Economy is the principal
feature of the CRATES success, and it is
expected that this element will COM
mend itself to all large users of steam
power. 1t is safe to predict, therefore,
that on this account the crate will sooner
or later come into general use, and
wherever it is adopted it will compel the
reduction of the force at present en-
ployed. However, these conditions will
not present themselves Immediately.
The crate is yet new, and will have to
stand considerable practical demonstra-
tion of its value before its adoption will
| take place in real earnest.

treasury department have found
time to get up such 2 big row among
themselves that it has eliminated in
the forced resignation Of Jeremiah
O'Rourke, supervising architect,
and the deposeG official is making
mysterious threat about making ex-
posures which will bring out SEN
sational political scandal, involving
several prominent members of the
administration.
The rumpus in the architects
office has in measure detracted
public attention from the steady de-
capitation Of republican officials in
the treasury department, under the
reorganization provided for by the
last session of congress. The law,
it will be remembered, abolishes
several entire bureaux, and it was
at first supposed that all of the en-
ployes Of those bureanx would sim
ply drop out of Office on the first day
of October, when the reorganization
is to go into effect, but Secretary
Carlisle had scheme worth two of
that, from partisan democratic
stanepoint, and he seldom occupies
any other. Had all employees Of tn g
abolished bureaux been dropped, it
would have caught as many demo
Gratis as republicans hence Mr.. Car
isles scheme to select the clerks to
be dismissed from all branches of
the treasury department. And to
add insult TO injury it was given
out that only those clerks whose
records were poorwould be dismissed
Up to this time nearly 100 have
been dismissed, and they are all re-
publicans, and some of them have
been for years considered among
the most Efficient employees of the
department. These dismissals have
also given Logan Carlisle an oppor-
tunity to vent his spite against the
high grade women employees. He
declared when he first went into
Office that no woman should hold a
position paying more than 1920,
and ii he is allowed to have his way
there will soon be none in his de-
DartIueut.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. "a, 1894,

W AehlNdION, u. u. Sept. ~ 1854.
"GrowiDg better all the time,'
was the reply Of Chairman Babcock,
of the republican congressional cam.
paign committee, when asked how
he regarded the outlook for electing
a republican majority of the house
And that isn't all. In addition to
having good working majority in
the next house the members of the
committee are confident that the re-
publicans will control not less than
26 of the state delegations in that
body. The importance of the last
can scarcely be overestimated. 1t
will head off an attempt which the
democrats have been calculating to
make, 10 throw the election the of
next president into the house by
casting the solid democratic vote in
all the northwestern states for the
populist electoral ticket in '96, pro-
vided, of course, that they control
q majority of the state delegations
in the next house, as they do in the
present house. With a majority of
the state delegations republican,
the next president is bound to be q
republican, no matter whether he
be elected by the electoral college
or by the house.
The nomination Of Hon. Levi p
Morton for governor by the repub
leans OF New York was received
with much pleasure in Washington,
where Mr.. Morton became exceed

vice president, and the belief is gen
eral that he will carry the state by
much larger majority than the
presidential ticket of Harrison ano

All temperance workers have rea-

Father Cleary has been made presi-

good man came az fraternal dele
gate to the national convention in
Boston in 1889. 1t is doubtful if
any other has 80 broad view of the
work of women as has Father Cleary,
unless it is Archbishop Ireland. For
this reason the election of Father
Cleary is of especial Significance.

ty, in addition 10 the direct laid "
above mentioned, and has expended
100000 for fair grounds, the inter-

that this agricultural society is an

If it were Of any commensurate ben

evidence that it has become but an
