IN CONGRESS. The Trials and Tribulations of Ooxey and His Work-Escapcrs. About $1,000,000 Savad on Fraudulent and Illegal Pentiont In a Year. L0BBYI3T3 STILL AT WORK. Falsity of Republican Prophecy Prospect of Democratic Harmony. Krora our Kogulnr Correspondent. Washington, May 4. President Cleveland and his Cabinet are pursu ing the even tenor of their official duties just as though there was no such thing in existence as Coxey's army. The President has promised to attend the unveiling of the Martha Washington monument at Fredericks burg, Virginia, on the 10th inst.. and tomorrow Secretary Herbert will leave for the Pacific coast to inspect the Government Navy Yards in that section. Coxey's march upon the Capitol was one of the most farcical fizzles of the age. To day he and Carl Crown and Christopher Columbus Jones are being tried in the police court for vio lating the law in attempting to make speeches from the steps of the Capitol. They are not likely to be severely punished probably small fines as a warning. If the foolish men now on their way to Washington to join Coxcy could get within smelling distance of the pest hole in which the poor Coxey ites are confined Coxey says camped they would turn back at once. In asmuch as Coxey was told by the Health officer of the danger attendant upon putting those poor devib in a marsh partially filled with dumpings of city filth, with an open sewer on one side, and stagnant green scummed cesspools on the other, and the foul atmosphere thoroughly impregnated with malarial germs, it looks as though he would be glad to gain a little ad ditional notoriety by having a lot of them die like dogs. Nearly all of the four hundred men now there are half sick lrom exposure and lack of proper food, and daily inspections by the Health officials is followed by the am bulance carrying some of them to the hospitals. Coxey, being comfortably quartered at a hotel, says he intends to keep these men here until they are joined by several hundred thousand; but ho won't. Those who don't get sick will desert ; every day some of them get arrested for begging in the streets and are sent down as vagrants. In addition to recovering $17,513. 24 paid on fraudulent or illegal pen sions, the Democratic management of the Pension Bureau has saved the Government in the neighborhood of a million dollars during the last twelve months by the discovery of frauds and the stopping of accrued payment on them. That is just the sort of thing that the people have a right to expect from the Democratic management of every branch of the Government. They would doubtless resent being called lobbyists, but there can be no doubt that the work upon which the gentlemen who are here representing the various parties interested in Paci fic Railroads legislation, now being considered by House and Senate com mittees, are engaged in is lobbying pure and simple. Each and every one of them is after legislation that will protect the interest he represents, regardless of the interests of the Gov ernment. The Republicans in Congress are not doing much talking this week about the special election Tuesday in the third Ohio Congressional district, at which the Democrats elected Paul J. Sorg to Congress by a substantial majority, although a week ago they were boasting that the district would go Republican as a protest against tariff reform. It seems that the Dem ocrats of that district are like those of all the other districts they want tariff leform, and the Democratic Senators cannot give it to them any too soon. , The Republicans are as quarrel some and spiteful as a lot of setting hens these days, and all because the Democratic Senators do not see fit to take them into their confidence as to the nature of the proposed amend ments to the tariff bill. With the ex ception of the day that the Senate ad journed immediately afier assembling, because of the death of Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan, there has not been a session ot the Senate for a week at which the Republicans have not attempted to provoke the Dem ocrats into a row. To the credit of the Democrats, be it said they have, as a rule, kept their tempers, allowing the Republicans to make a lot of ridiculous statements about something that they knew absolutely nothing about the intentions of the Dem ocrats. The favorite misstatement seems to be that a new tariff bill is oing prepared. Although denied when first made, by Senators Voorhees and Harris, it has since been reiterated by half a dozen Republican Senators. The Democratic Senators will, in due l'me, announce the amendments to the tariff bill, which will be supported hy the Finance Committee, and they W'll pass them, too ; also the bill. The object of the Republicans is to create dissension among the Democrats, but " will not succeed. The Democrats are to day nearer together than thev nave been during the session, and will remain so.

At Lemont part of the strikers decided to go to work. As a result cf the ceasing of work in the coal mines it is now intimated that there may a coal famine in the face of the fact that in a few months with steady wotk our miners can easily turn out a year's supply of coal. Notwithstanding his professed re formation, the celebrated Aloe 15uz z.ird was recently arrested in Reading, charged with being a participant in the robbery of the Cedar Lane post office Character will tell in spite of profession. Considering that they neither marry nor are given in marriage, the recent shooting of Mary Gilmartin by a jealous Catholic priest in Cincinnati, illustrates the impossibility cf even the priesthood living above inherent human passions.

Only three out of twenty seven State leaders indorse Senator Hill's views. All but three censure him in strong terms for his desertion of the Democratic party. One of the three upholding him in his tariff" views chided him for his opposition to the income-tax. Of the 1,070 new applications for license to sell intoxicants in Phil.i. delphia only 45 were granted, and tieven ot wnom agreea not to estao lish a bar.

With millions tied up and hoarded in banks and elsewhere the American patriot who will trot out and air him self as usual on the approaching 4th of July, prefers to still hoard his capi tal for political effect in the face of labor unemployed. This we believe to be very largely the case from Maine to California. We presume Carnegie to have suffi cient justification among high pro tectionists, even if low protectionist are disposed to find fault with the cpuality of his iron plates for war vessels A defective war-ship is like a defective pair of boots, the sooner they are worn out the sooner another pair will te needed. Though the people of Europe last year consumed 514,000,000 pounds of American bacon, 84,000,000 pounds of American h anis and 81,000,000 pounds of American pork there are still a few hogs at home yet. This is a great country for hogs. While some are white, we have the red and even the black kind also. Wanting a new trial the honorable Mr. Breckinridge says through coun sel that the damages that he did are put excessively high ; that the verdict is contrary to the evidence ; and that the court erred in its charge to the jury on certain points of law; that the evidence is insufficient in law to sus tain such a vetdict, &c. Rev. Dr. Talmages' sermon on the subject of "Home Religion," which he took from the 8th chapter and 39th verse of Luke, is indeed well worthy of perusal and study, both by the formal and informal christian. A spirit of pure religion and touching pathos permeates this sermon. No one can read it without feeling better for it. Regarding the proposition to make Hon. E. B. Coxe the Democratic candidate for governor, which seems to have emanated from Washington, this gentleman in person says : "You can say for me that I am not directly or indirectly a candidate for governor, nor for anything else. I have as much as I can do to attend to my private business. , Now report comes that the chair man of the Congressional Committee BLOOMSBURG, PA. in Colonel Breckinridge's district is an antt-jireckinndt'e man. Since com ing events sometimes cast their shad ows before we apprehend that the aunties of his district are laying a plan lor the colonels defeat. In matters such as the colonel has lately been interested in the aunties are apt to take lively interest for or against a tellow. So much is said of our Presidents right a'ong, for better or for worse, that any school child could tell you at once who he is ; but on the other hand so little is said of the man who would fill his place in case of death, the Vice-President, that about every other man you may choose to ask the name of the Vice-President of the United States wants a little time to think, if indeed he can answer correctly when you give him time. A safe field for bachelors is in the city of Mongolia which lies close to the borders of Russian Siberia. Its a little chilly there, but of course this fact makes no difference to bachelors Maiwatchin is the euphonious name of this delectable spot that is peopled only by men. The Chinese women of the vicinity are forbidden to pass the wall of Kalkan or enter into Mongolia, As to who does the cooking, washing, &c, our informant sayeth not. Just as electric car lines are now competing with large and powerful railroads that once had monopoly of passenger and freight traffic, so we find small telegraphic lines are now being built in different parts of the State, which in time may prove quite a rival to the Western Uuion Tele graph Company. If they are built for the purpose of competition they will compete to the general advantage of the public ; but if they are built only to sell to the highest bidder, we can pretty near guess who will buy them out. The naxt thing on program before Congress that is likely to consume as much time as did the debate on the tariff bill is the reading of the whole bill by paragraphs for amendment. This slow work was to commence at 1 o'clock on the 25th ult. ; but it is difficult, indeed, to say when it will be finished, as objection will likely be in terposed by manufacturers, at every step, through hired Representatives who are engaged to watch individual interests upon which there is a high protective tariff. Coal-dealers are beginning to rather anticipate a coal famine as the result of idle mines. The relations between capital and labor are too close for the one to be seriously affected and not the other." Capital without labor is a useless responsibility and labor without capital is wone than useless, it is disastrous, both to the employer and the employed. Capital, being always organized for self-defense and labor claiming the same right, is what causes reductions of wages upon the one hand and demand for better share of profits that labor earns upon the other. Hiram S. Maxim now says that aerial navigation is a certainty of the immediate future whether he succeeds in demonstrating the fact or whether some one else demonstrates it. He rather expects himself, no doubt, to demonstrate it to the satisfaction of the most skeptical, and to the utter dismay of our railroads which are still largely monopolizing passenger and freight traffic on terra Jirma, and growing from one degree of fabulous wealth to an insolent demand for the earth. We have often dreamed that the Almighty would head off our rail roaders yet in some way, and it is possible that Mr. Maxim's scientific idea is heaven-born for this purpose. WOMEN AT THE POLLS. Newburg, N. Y., April 28. The first taxpayers' election at which women were permitted to vote was held here to day and was the liveliest ever known. The question was whether or not $50,000 should be spent for a city hall. One lady who came to vote found that the assessors had left her name off the roll. "That's only one vote lost," she said, "but I'll make up for it." She went away and brought six other ladies back to the polls, all of whom voted as she would have done. Although it rained rhost of the day the vote was very large for such an election. At one time there were 23 ladies in line, awaiting their turn to vote, and one brought in her own car riage 40 of her sex to the polls. They polled about 230 of the 854 votes that were cast, and it is esti mated that at least 90 per cent, of the women voted ballots against the pro ject. Many of them came in their own carriages and comprised the best people of the city. Insomnia is fearfully on the increase.

A horrible railroad accident took place at the Water Gap to-day, John Golden, a freight brakeman, had his head completely cut off. The man lost his hat while riding past the place last night. In passing the spot to-day he saw his hat layiuz between the rails. A3 the train neared the spot Golden jumped!! and reach ed between the rails for his hat. He was not quick enough, however, for the moving train caught him just as he was pulling his head back and pin ning his neck down to the rail cut his head off.

Wools- ton, pastor of the Kensington Baptist Church, Girard avenue and Hanover streets, yesterday, to hear him talk upon " Romanism as I Saw It in Rome. The societies came from all parts of the city and mustered some 1,700 or 1,400 strong. The church was entire'y inadequate to hold them and about four hundred were unable to even gain admittance to the build ing. The line formed at Girard and Frankford avenues early in the after noon. Headed by the State Fencibles' Band the mechanics marched to the church, a few squares away. Clear field Council headed the procession and John M. McCullough was mar shal of the host. At the church, beside the address of Dr. Woolston, there was an interest ing musical programme. Mrs. A Erdmann sung splendidly the " Star Spangled Banner," while Miss Anna Peters gave, with stirring fervor, Stand by the School House." It was the largest gathering the notheast ever saw on a Sunday afternoon, and the parade of the councils was viewed by hundreds of persons. Mr. Woolston dealt with things as he had found them during his pi! grimage to Rome. He leveled the hottest kind of shot against what he declared was the evil work and tend ency of the ancient Church of Rome m us endeavor to lav hands on America which it would make as desolate as it has made Italy."
