talk for political effect. There's nothing un-
usual, they say, in attaching political riders
to appropriation bills.


And this does seem to be one of the enter
prises so much affected by leading Democrats
which Mr.. Tilden happily describes as IN
chOate offences. 1t isn't revolution yet. NO
more was the transaction which Smith Neeu
and PeltOn had under way in South Carolina
bribery. 1t was InchOate. 1t would have been
bribery if it had been carried out, and very
loud case of it. But it slipped up; 1t was
inchoate. Mr.. Tiden, looking it all over as
an expert, pronounced it an inchoate offence,
and all the Democratic newspapers and Con-
gressmen broke out with appreciation. Nobody
had done anything wrong; no blame attached
to anybody; the average CROSSROADS Demo-
crat dismissed the whole matter with the
remark that it was an inchoate offence,
under kind of dim notion that an
inchoate offence was something rather cred
liable than otherwise to the offender
This is another inchoate performance. 1t may
continue to be so and never be anything else.
That depends on whether the Democratic
leaders, like Beck and Thurman, carry out the
programme they have announced. There are
indications of a backdown at present Mr.
Thurman is not quite so fierce as he was at
the last session. and Mr. Beck has notably
subsidized since he "gave away" the caucus
and said things that have been making HIM
trouble ever since. But. whatever happens, IL
is well enough to remember that what these
gentlemen have all along proposed is actually
revolutionary in its character. Mr.. Garfield
stated the whole Issue very tersely In
his speech at the beginning of the debate,
when he described it rs plan to starve the
Government into submission to their purposes.
"Sign these bills" they say to the President,
cor we will withhold the appropriations
necessary to carry on the Government"
What happens if they carry out the threat
Why simply this: that the wheels of the
Government stop and everything is at a stand
still. If that isn't revolution, pray tell us
what is 7


The threat to withhold the supplies was
distinct and positive. 1t still hangs over the
Executive, so far as the action of the caucus
which directs the movements of the party in
power is concerned. There was no other reason
for attaching the riders to the appropriations
than to coerce the Executive. If additiQnal
proof were needed as to the intention OF the
party, it might be found in the utterances OF
the leaders in both Senate and House at the
close of the last and beginning of the present
session and in the further fact that though
they have greatly toned down within
the past few days, not one of them
yet, as was pointed out by Mr.. Gar
field, has ventured to deny the purpose
or disclaim the revolutionary design. 1t
remains to be seen whether, upon cooler re-
Election and in view Of what they must have
lately learned of public opinion on this sub
ject, they will persist in carrying out their
rash threat, twill discreetly back down and
leave their proposed revolution to be counted
among the inchoate offences of which they
are so fond.

We have before suggested, in as forcible
terms as we could find, the adyisability of
watching all proposed rapid transit legislation
at Albany, and the present status of the See
bacher bill gives increased point to that sug-
cestion. This bill has had a curious history.
II suddenly appeared in the meeting OF
the Assembly Railroad Committee last week, a
few hours after Mr. David Dudley Field arrived
in Albany, and was undoubtedly, in its original
shane, the bill which the New-York Elevated
Road wanted to see passed; it was then
loaded down with a feature very objec-
tionable to the company, that requiring
il to run five-cent car on every
train, and thereupOn the bill was held,
apparently to await events Our Albany dis
matches give the statement of the chairman
of the committee that he is holding the bill
to please Messrs Seebacher and Calvin, and
also the statement of Mr.. Seebacher, who
seems to be in no hurry to have the bill re-
ported which he was in such haste about
last week. 1t is impossible to avoid the re-
Election that if the committee should
make up its mind at any time TO re-
move the fye-cent feature from the
bill, it would be just in shape again
to suit the NewYOrk Road. We there
fore renew the suggestion that this bill and
all Others on this subject may well be closely
watched. The sentiment that has already de-
veloped itself against any invasion of Park
Row or Broadway, or any of the principal
streets below the City Hall, is uncOmpromisng,
and those representatives of the city who
guard its interests in this matter will earn a
debt of gratitude which will not be repudi-
ated.

Washington Special to Globe-Democrat


The work of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Commits
tees has so far proved eminently
satisfactory to Republicans in the
States where elections have been
held or will be held this fall. The
documents desired have always been
appropriate, have been promptly
sent out, and have contributed no
little to the success and future good
prospects of the party. Usually at
the close Of campaign like that
of this fall the committee has dis
continued its labors until the CONS
mencement of another campaign.


The requests from Republican
leaders that, in view Of the Presi-
Dental campaign next year, the
Committee keep up its headquarters
here and continue it's work without
internission, have been so numer-
-ous that it has been decided to act
upon this suggestion. The Repub-
lican Congressional leaders think
that they can utilize most ad-
vantageously the committee
for such campaign work as
the developments o. the next ses.
sion of Congress may make advisa-
BILE. Past experience has shown
that such is the case. The deter
mination to keep the committee con.
tinuously at work is but a further
indication Of the fact that the Re-
publican party is determined to
spare no effort IN naming and aug
menting its almost assured pros
poets for SUCCESS in 1880. >

The heat in the Savage grows more
intense as the water is lowered. The
mercury now stands at l40 degrees at
the nearest point to the 1900 level
that can be reached. At the lowest
donkey pump it stands at l25 degrees.
A day or two ago it took three
men eight hours to fill an oil-cup on
this pump. They formed in line in
the incline so that the man nearest
the pump could receive assistance
from the man behind him, and the
latter from the farthest man away
from the intense heat. In this order,
changing positions as they became
exhausted, they worked out whole
shift, and Superintendent Gillette
says he thinks they were not able
even then 10 do any goad. 1t is so
hot in the bottom of the incline that
if piece of iron is touched with the
bare hand a blister is raised the
same as if an attempt had been made
to steal red-hot stove.


When three miners quit work last
week on account of the great heat, a
man who had been trying to get en-
ployment in the mine for several
months applied for one of their
places. He said he had fred on a
Panama steamer, worked at an iron
furnace on the equator and expert
enced high temperatures in other
places. He thought he would re-
quire an overcoat in any mine on the
Comstock. Superintendent Gillette
said he was just the hind Of man he
had been looking for, and if he had
any friends who were as much accus-
toned to heat as he was to fetch
them along and they could all
get work. The man went into
the mine at II o'clock at night and
came out the next morning. All the
time he was in the incline he was
gasping for breath, and did not at
tempt to do thing. Several times
the older hands thoug ght' he was about
to faint, and conducted him to the
air pipe. When he came to the sur
face he spent about an hour under
the shower bath, dressed and left and
has never been seen since.


A drift will in day or two be
opened, which will connect with the
1900 station and bring in supply

will be held where it is-some three
feet over the floor of the 1900 sta
ton. When this drift is done it is
expected that the 2,2o0 station will
be 50 cooled and freshened that furth-
er serious trouble will be AVOIDED

NECESSITY OF SELF PROTECTION.


The recent action of the wheat buyers in
their convention at St. Paul is attracting
wide attention. The defnant attitude the
buyers assumed in absolutely declining to
use the sealed half bushel, has made deep
impression among producers. The general
admission that the brass kettle can be made
to swindle, coupled with the refusal to use
anything else, has set the farmers to reflect
ing.


The farmers have the power to help
themselves if they will. We are not
sanguine that they will do so even
though the way is plain and
simple. They are strong enough
numerically to elect their Governor and a
legislature. They seem to delight to stand
by the Republican party, even though it outs
their own throats. A member of the wheat
ring is in the Governors chair, and is talked
of for third term. The Republican can
didate for Congress in this district last fall
is member of the ring, and he, too, received
the majority of the votes cast. This fail, il
the Republicans make an entire State ticket
of members of the ring, of course the farm.
ers will give them their support. They al
ways do. They have not grit enough to in
duce them to vote for their own interests
and they come up smilingly anc
elect the ring candidates every
time. When the farmers have wi
enough to organize for self protection anG
make that organization sufficiently effective
to be felt at the polls, there will be no meet
ings of wheat buyers to hurl defiance at tn,
laws of the State. The farmers will deserve
the plundering they are receiving if they dc
not protect themselves. If they love tn
ring which oppresses them SO we'll that the,
continue them in power, the robbery the,
suffer will be self inflicted and deserved. I
romans entirely with the farmers to de
termine for themselves the kind of treatmen
they shall receive.

lady passing up First avenue last even

Fifth and Sixth streets, when plank tipped
from under her and threw her headlong to
the ground. Scrambling up hastily and
scared half to death she stepped into deep
hole, where two of the planks had been re-
moved and was second time thrown down.
This time she did not get up so readily, but
was assisted to her feet by passing gentle
man. She seemed greatly shaken and con-
siderably hurt, but after resting few mo-
ments she managed to walk slowly off un-
assisted. This dangerous trap should be

ends of boards sticking up to catch unwary
