THE QUESTION of restoring to the
people of the District of Columbia the
privilege of suffrage has again been
raised there. AS not one-third of those
people have any material interest in
the welfare of the District, the question
should, in accordance with justice,
of course be decided in the negative
But as most of them are from the
North, and are republicans, and as all
the districts in the South have had ne
gro suffrage forced upon them, the
people of the latter would not regret
an affirmative decision. What is sauce
for the goose should be sauce for the
gander.

THERE IS no spent up Utica" about ex
Governor Foraker's desires in respect
of national territorial acquisitions, pro-
yided they be islands. He says 81 be-
lieve that we ought to take under our
flag every island that possesses advan-
tages." He would have, not only Ha-
wall and Cuba, but Ireland, and as
England and Scotland form an island,
of course take them in too. There is
nothing small about Mr.. Foraker, ex-
cept himself and his detected attempts
cheat and bribe at elections, when he

WILL HAVE It OYER AGAM.-The
resignation of J. G. G. Black as con-
gresham from the Tenth Georgia dis
trict was yesterday accepted by Gov
ernor Atkinson, who will at an early
day call an election to fill the vacancy.
This is the district represented in the
Fifty. second Congress by Tom Watson,
populist. In 1889 Black defeated Wat
SON, and in the last election again con-
tested the district. Black was elected
on the face of the returns, but, frauds
being charged on both sides, he has re-
signed, and the race will be run over
again, this time under new and strict
registration law passed by the last Gen
eral Assembly.

THE ROBERT EDWARDS HEIRs.-The
true and direct heirs of Robert Edwards
are now residing in the counties of Lam
caster and Northumberland. and also
near Norfolk, and but for them being
Virginians, slow to action, would have
had the property in possession long ago.
The principal heirs are the Balls and
Edwards of those sections. Robert
Edwards left his home at Swanfield,
Lancaster county, went to New York,
took up land and leased it for ninety
nine years about the year ITO, and

The LABOR riot in New Orleans is
regrettable throughout the entire South
and is comparatively new thing in
this section. Such riots have hereto
fore been almost entirely restricted to
the North. Under the law, the negro's
rights are as sacred as those of the
white man, and every man, black or
white, has the natural, as we'll as the
legal right to work for his living. The
mortality of the mob doesn't compare
with that of many of the Northern
mobs, but, for all that, its leaders should
be made to feel the enormity of their
crime, and unless New Orleans re-
verses her past history they will. Law
and order must be preserved, or the
coming anarchy will soon be at hand.

GOVERNOR WERTs of New Jersey is
wiser than the legislature of that State,
as he has vetoed bill that provided
for an elective judiciary there. An
elective legislature, with unrestricted
suffrage, makes a travesty of law, but
with Judges elected by such suffrage,
Justice would gather up her skirts and
flee the country.

THE BULL Took THE JACKpoY.--
Fourteen young men, of Watsessing,
n. j., were routed on Sunday by q
bull. To enjoy the fine weather the
young men went to John Noll's field to
indulge in game of whisky poker.
They spread newspapers on the ground
to sit on, and with q square of card
board for table. they soon BECAME in
terested in the game. One of the young
men looked up and saw bearing down
upon the party Mr.. Noll's bull. They
dropped their cards, left the jackpot
and scattered for the nearest fence.
As they tumbled over the fence the bull
came to the opposite side and COM
menced to tear up the sod in anger.
Then it turned and eased its fury by
trampliug the newspapers, cards, jack
pot and all.

ONE of the glazing crimes of omis-
sion of the late democratic Congress
was its failure to reduce the salaries Of
every body, engaged in the Govern
ment's service. Those salaries were
set when money was plentiful and the
price of everything was high; now the
exact reverse obtains, money being
scarce and the price of every thing
people have % buy b,ing low. The cost
of living now is not half as much as it
was then and as wages and every thing
else have been reduced, there is no
good reason why Government salaries
should not he also, and those who receive
them take pot luck with their fellow
citizens.

Lifting a Dead Tiger.

When one comes to lifting a dead
tiger one becomes fully aware of it's
weight; so does one arrive at due ap-
probation of its strength after once feel
ing the forearm. which is one splendid
mass of steel-like muscle Then one
understands how the tiger in his prime
can throw a bullock over its shoulder
and canter away with it. Then, too,
one may well come to pooh-pooh the
claim of the lion to be styled the king of
beasts.
But however interesting may be the
study of the tiger in this particular
phase once or so it pals after a time;
lifting it is peculiarly hard and hot
work and it is dirty work also, and is
sometimes made particularly exasper-
ating by the laches of the elephant Sc
lected for the carriage of the tiger. For
that Intellectual beast is required to
kneel to receive its freight and to kneel
long enough to allow that freight to be
hoisted on to the pad and fastened on,
and, as often as not, it will rise at the
critical moment just when the tiger has
been raised to the edge of the pad, and
tumble the tiger and some of the lifters
on to the ground and so bring about the
status quo ante.
The elephant has wonderful intelli-
gence in some utterly useless directions.
1t will, for example pick up pin with
its trunk and, 1 dare say, with sufficient
encouragement would swallow that and
convert its interior economy into pin
cushion; but have never known one
to direct its talents to the simplification
of tiger-padding, although have seen
many devote their minds and bodies to
the unnecessary duty of adding to the
difficulties of that operation. - Black

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Our Regular Correspondent ]

WASHINGTON. D. G., December %, 1894.
Although there has not been at the outside
more than seventy-fve members of Congress in
Washington at any one time during the present
week, that has not prevented those industrious
gentlemen who make business of manufactur-
ing Washington news for sensational papers
sending cut detailed programs-each entirely
different from the other-of what disposition
Congress will make of the Carlisle Currency re-
form bill. As that distinguished philosopher,
Josh Billings used to say, it is better to be ig
norant than to know SO darn much that amt
So" While President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle, as well as Chairman Springer, who is
in charge of the currency bill, hope and believe
that the bill will pass the House in some shape,
neither of them would attempt to positively
say that the House would or would not
pass it, although these Irresponsible scrib'
blers do so daily. AS matter of fact, no man
living is in a position to state with a reasonable
degree of certainty what will be the fate of the
currency BILL and all attempts to do so are but
4uesses. 1t was well understood by the demo
Gratis of the House when the adjournment for
the holidays took place that the recess would be
devoted to a study of how the bill might be i'm
proved and that no conclusion was to be reach
ed until they came together again. 1t is believed
but even that has not been definitely determined
upon, that the fate of the currency bill will be
settled at a democratic caucus to be held as soon
as Congress meets again. At any rate it can be
sat down as certain that the democrats, and not
the sensation mongers, will decide the matter.
If Spain persists in making the duty upon

lass than the amount charged upon -four shipped
