The German voter is in q tough posi-
ton this time anyhow: our next pre-
sident is bound to BE- an Irishman.
Both Irish and Germans are naturally
repu blicans, but for come reason any
thing which brings any gain of either
one to the party's voting strength Is
al ways balanced by q loss of votes from
the other. Not that this Is conscious
sort of thing: it IL not-but somehow
the arguments that appeal to an Irish
man never do to German and vice =
versa.
THE HUNT FOR ANARCHISTS.
The secret service of the treasury
ia cooperating with the Italian en-
bassy In an effort to locate the Ameri-
can anarchists, but there is NO special
result expected. Government de-
tectives and city detectives as q rule
these peopl, and do not keep track of
them; so that in q sudden call like this
it is difficult to pick up the threads.
In New York they are viewed 90 pub
lie amusements, in way. 1t pleases
some of the Woodworking ill-clad
cast off Europe riffraff to sit down in
chair and rest while an orator points
out their essential moral superiority
to people who work less and are better
clothed-and that is the end of 1t
mostly. The audience are willing to
pay for their amusement: the speaker

sionally. the lead ers have to make
showing of energy in order to main
tain the interest of their constituents
and fanatic is told off to try TO shoot
somebody in authority somewhere.
Probably nobody regrets the neces-
sity more than these same leaders
because 1t involves an expenditure of
cash better devoted to beer. But be-
tween times, except for talking, these
anarchist orators have about as long,
easy job of it as girl growing hair
for the market.
The treasury department ia display
ing more real interest in the fight be-
tween the American and Canadian
steamship lines over the immigrant
question. The former are tied down
by legal restrictions regarding the
character of their human freight,
being forced to return those "likely to
become public charges" (under which
elastic head are classified all anarchists
who can be reoognized) while of course
the Canucks can bring over whom they

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE DEMAND FOR PUBLIC BUILD
INaS.
(Boston Transcript.)

The demand upon Congress from all
parts of the country for new public build :
ings Is something portentous up 30 date.
Last year there were nearly four hundred
bills for this purpose introduced, but
only sixty -ssvsn Of them passed, and to
construct tho number thus authorized
here was an appropriation OF 1900. 600
This has all been exhausted, or soon will
be, and the work oontem plated is BY no
means completed, owing to the rise IN
materials Those buildings In process OF
construction must BE- cared for before
new projeots can be reasonably enter
tained. But though the session 10 COM
paratively young, there have been already
introd uoed In the House alone hundred
and twenty live measures proposing the
building Of Federal court-hsusee, post
cflises and oustom-houses at various
points. and involving an appropriation of

ICE CARNIVAL AT yASSAR.
Event the First 90 be Held In Three
Years by $50 College Girls.

For the first time In three years Vassar
college had an Toe carnival. Several
times last winter elaborate preparations
were made. but the weather always inter
fered. Recently q favorabls moment was
seized before the barometer had time to
change.
Tho lake was flooded. and early the
next morning every man ON the campus
went down and passed Judgment On the
ics-ths janitor, the engineer. the men
of-all-work, and finally the superintend-
emit of grounds him self. Each came baok
shak ing his head and declaring that II
wouldn't do. But later the president In
vsstigatsd, and desresd that the carnival
should be held. So this bullstin notices
went up; people who could not skate
were respectfully requested to keep of
the Ice; people who could wers requested
to come down and prsotios. Costum es
were hastily gathered. and the carnival
"was."
There was pale moonlight, but ths lake
was fairly aglow with huge bounres here
and there along its shores. Moreover.
strings OF Chinese lanterns formed q
border of oolorsd light, and halfway up
the lake lanterns were stretched across
from shore to shore, with large American
flag in the center Of the line: band
from town was stationed under ths pine
trees on the nearer shore, and footed ss
braveIy az heavy overcoats and the Light
of some half dozen lanterns would per-
NIT. Fortunately, for the musicians, the
night WAS still and not very cold.

MIR. MORLEY ON THE BOER WAR

MIR. John Morley. former Chief Seore-
tary for Ireland, In q spesoh to his oon-
stituen's in Scotland the eothtr day. in
dulged In some very harsh criticism OF
the wsr In South Africa and the govern
msnt's part in bringing 1t on. Senator
Hale's arraignment 10 the Senate the
other day was not more scathing. While
admitting thst Great Britain had now
no choice but to finish the war he de-
clared that there had been conspiracy
of gold hunters. some English some
foreigners. The war was the outcome OF
a sordid plot against the peace Of South
Africa at the expense Of the fame and
strength -kof the British Empire. "1t
was maddening. " he said. "to think
the we'll intsntioned people tof Great
Britain should be dupes in stock jobbihg
bears" Hs ridiculed the idea Of Dutch
conspiracy against the English In South
Africa, said it was an afterthought OF
the government "conjursd up to mask
hibiscus and z hastily "biunder." II the
government had believed any such con-
spiracy existed 10 would never have spent
its time negotiating about the franchise.
To the claim that the Beers ultimatum
made them responsible for the war he
replied that the sending Of the ultimatum
no-mors disposed Of all other questions
than the dsfla noe Of the American colo
nists In throwing the tea overheard in
Boston harbor dispose Of all the questions
Of the war of American Independence.
Mr.. Morley took Q gloomy view OF the
future. He declared that m uoh had bssn
said about putting hands on the plough
and not turning back, but he asked.
what seeds are being cast In the burrows
what crop are the British soattsrings
Tarss. and q orop,,of tares. Great Britain
not only faced the problem Of the future
appeasemsnt Of South Afrtoa, but she
might be called upon to face dangers In
other quarters where the war had kindled
passions and ressntmeKts. There WAS
also the question Of CONSUMPTION. He
dosbted, too, WHISTLER the relations be-
twssn Great Britain aud her colonies
would remain indefinitely what thsy
wore before the war. Suppose there WAS
another peaos conference at The Hague.
The most polite diplomattst would burst
out laughing II the British Ambassador
appeared.
In conclusion Mr.. Morley warned his
hearers not to be dupsd by she idea that
the Beers, after defeat, would settle down
quietly. With reference to the point a.
which the conflict would come to an end.
he observed: "Somsthing depends on a
chance wnict, hops, IL remote. but is
certainly not Invisible. Of our being called

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Conditions That Now Exist in the
Anthracite Coal Markets-The
D., L. and w. Board.

The anthracite market as yet shows
mer dullness. There is more heard of
stocks accumulating and the inde-
pendent operators, who usually bear
the burden of any stories of cut prices
are reported to be making more lib
eral concessions. Still prices are
pretty we'll maintained. 1t is doubt
full, however, if the talked-of ad-
vance on July 1st amounts to any
thing.
Business at all Western points is
rather dull. Shippers to upper lake
points have succeeded in getting
freight rates down 10c and a heavier
movement may be expected. The
freight rates from Buffalo are now:
Chicago, 65c; Milwaukee, 60c; Duluth,
40c. AZ Duluth and in Chicago terri
tory there is but little doing in the
way of sales, though the situation at
Chicago is improving. Some improve
ment Is also reported at one or two
Eastern points, notably Philadelphia,
but at New York, Boston and the
lower lake ports things are pretty
quiet. Scattered strikes continue at
the collieries, but as yet there Is no
sign of any widespread disturbance.
The lessening activity in the Connells-
vile region is likely to check the out
flow of labor to Western Pennsylva-
mia, and at the same time diminish
the chances of a general strike.-En-
gineering and Mining Journal.

THIRD BATTALION WON.
First of Series of Revolver
Matches Held on Saturday.

The first of a series of fve-team
matches for the revolver trophy Of
fered by Lieutenant Colonel f. w.
Stillwell, of the Thirteenth regiment,
was shot Saturday afternoon on the
Dickson City range by teams repre-
senting the First and Third battallons,
the latter team winning.
The conditions governing the matches
are that each battalion is to be repre-
sented by team of six men; that the
team winning the majority of five
matches in a season is to hold the
trophy for one year, and that it Is to
become the absolute property of the
team winning it for three consecutive
seasons.
On Saturday five shots were given to
each man at slow and rapid fire, the
distances being twenty-five, fifty and
seventy-five yards. The score was as
follows: First battalion, slow fire, ESQ.,
rapid fire, 204; total 464. Third battal-
ion, slow fire, 1885, rapid fire, 265; total,
col.
The teams were made UP as follows:
First battalion, Lieutenant Colonel
Stillwell, Captains Kambeck, Bevans
and Foote, Lieutenants Gunster and
Relph; Third battalion, Major Robling,
Captains Stokes and Gilman, Lieuten-
ants Henshaw, Daley and Cooper.
