The spanking majority of fifty, with
which the Teller silver resolution was
smashed in the house, Monday after
only few hours of debate, is in every
respect gratifying Only two republi-
cans proved recreant to the call Of rea-
son and of honor, and these were from
populist North Carolina. The white
man voted for the resolution; the black
man lodged it. Only two democrats
broke away from party lines one from
South Carolina and one from Pennsyl-
vania. The lonely democrat from New
England, Mr.. Fitzgerald, Of Boston,
squared himself with G. F. Williams by
voting for it. Speaker Reed had his
name called and his vote recorded in
opposition, and he was vigorously ap-
plauded. AS the house represents the
people, its vote is of some significance
as gauge of the feeling throughout
the country. The senate represents no
body can say what How little it's
opinion is valued, is proved by the fact
that the stock market scarcely turned
a hair, after the vote to pay govern
ment bonds in deprecated silver. This
is a sad reflection upon the usefulness
of the senate-an humilating com
mentary upon its public reputation. The
silver majority are an exception to the
rule that a legislative body finds one
of it's greatest glories in the high esteem

Wheat figures for January are sig
nficant The price is the highest since
February. 1892, and though the average
price for the month is trifie lower than
for that month, 1t is higher than for any
other month since then. The exports of
wheat have amounted to 1856, iii, 900 for
seven months as compared with a sim
liar period for 1872. when the total was
loO,OOOoOO, the largest on record. But
this does not tell the whole story. The
exports Of corn for the period mentioned
for 1878 amounted to 97,2OO,0OO while
in 1892 the corn exports were only 49,
100000 That is to say, the exports Of the
leading breadstuffs for the last seven
months amounted in the aggregate to
2SS,S71O00 bushels, as compared with
only 1sS,0OO,OOO bushels in 1872, the
last time that Europe was badly off for
food. This shows better than anything
else the dependence of Europe upon the
American cereal supply 1t is also sug-

Much Value.

Boston, Jan. GA telegram was re-

N. W. l., stating that bonds, money
and jewelry. amounting to nearly $25, 900
had been taken from Abraham Tebbitt,
the alleged defaulting leather commits
sion merchant, and his wife, who ac-
companied him.
When the officers searched Mrs. Teb-
bitt $4,000 in United States bonds and
$500 in cash, and several diamond rings,
brooches and earrings were found.
About $1050 in cash was found on Mi.
Tebbltt, together with a gold watch, a
diamond, jewelry and two tickets for
Vancouver. Both prisoners will be held
in Regina until Boston officers arrive.
MRS. Tebbitt had hidden a large pro-
portion of the wealth in her hustle.
Mr.. and Mrs Tebbitt were arrested
by the Canadian mounted police.
Inspector McCauslind will leave Bos-
ton tonight for Regina, provided with
three warrants for the arrest Of Tebbitt.
These have been obtained for the pur-
pose Of preventing the prisoner from
getting bail, and leaving, pending the
arrival of the eXtradition papers.
The leather merchants who claim to
have lost through dealings with Tebbitt
held meeting this morning and an
pointed committee of three. This
committee will see that counsel is re-
tanned at Regina to represent the Bos-

The erratic Gov. Black sometimes
surprises New York with an exhibition
of independence. His latest effort in
this line is his declaration against Sem
ator Ellsworth's press-gag and anti
cartoon bill. He is said to have even
told Mr.. Platt that ne would use his in
fiuence against it. and would veto it if
ever it got through the legislature. Here
at any rate, there is reason to praise
the governors attitude, He has taken a
similar stand against Quigg's proposed
caucus law, and that is another cause
for dlspleasure in the camp Of the
bosses. Where Gov. Black will land, af-
ter such manifestations of independence
as have lately come from him, is an in

Mayor Van Wyck's most oonsnicpo,

Mayor Van Wycks most conspicuous
success thus far has been a remarkably
complete demonstration of his capacity
to disgust friends and critics alike. His
performance with the school question, as
told in the Spy last week, seems to have
reached the limit of endurance. The
mayor must have become very tiresome
when even the Journal, his only sup
porter for election, goes back on him
However, he still suits Croker, we pre-
sumo. and we do not see that Van Wyck
