All communications should be addressed to TUB COLUMBIAN, llloomsuurg, ra. TIIl'kSDAY, JL'M'U, i8(J6. An exchange sarcastically says : "It is rather curious that McKinley does not like the bicycle, since he is bo fond of a straddle." A San Francisco Democrat wagers $500 that if Tattison is nominated at Chicago lie will get more electoral votes from the state of California than the Republican candidate would get from that state. Pattison is strong in the west because of his stand in the Pacific Railroad case. Let us hear no more Republican wailing about the condition of the Treasury. By their votes against the beer tax the hypocrisy of the plaints and professions of Republican Senators has been made a matter of record. A tax on beer would all go into the Treasury, but would do no good to the Trusts. Appropriations by this Congress exceed by $15,000,000 those of any single session in the history of the country. With a prospective deficit of $50,000,000 during the next fiscal year, Congress is going to adjourn without in any way providing the money to meet it. That's the sort of statesmanship the voters will be asked to endorse. The coronation of the Czar of Rus sia cost the lives of nearly 1,500 people and $40,000,000 in money. The Czar is no doubt undisturbed by the loss of life, as life in Russia is held very lightly, but the world at large wiil look with disgust upon a pageant of such grandeur in a country where millions of peasants are dying of starvation. The people of America may be glad that they do not live in a country where such a display of in humanity is possible. It is rather cheeky to ask the Legis luture to pay the expenses of the Philadelphia "Lexow" committee, which were to be borne by the Thila. Municipal Reform League. The committee was simply a Quay annex, to be used to scare or castigate some of the Philadelphians and Pittsburgers who were not in line with the boss. The committee was forced for its own welfare to abandon its so-called inves tigations, and the Philadelphia people who wanted reform naturally aban doned the committee. Probably Quay can induce his Reform Legislature to pay the bill. The Czar. The coronation of the Czar has ab sorbed the attention of the world for some days, and certainly the spectacle with its accompanying circumstances is well worthy the notice of mankind. According to all accounts the corona tion has surpassed the dreams of the poet in all its barbaric splendor. Millions of dollars have been expend ed that nothing might be lacking to the impressiveness and brilliancy of the event. Aside from this the posi tion of the Czar as the autocratic ruler ot almost one hundred millions of people, widely scattered, and of diverse races, with the surging discon tent of nihilism beneath the surface, makes the situation doubly interesting. It is recognized that at any moment the caprice of the policy of the Czar may plunge Europe into war. The Russians themselves appreciate the leading part assigned them in the drama. The correspondents at Mos cow unanimously report the discovery that the Russians think they are a match for all western Europe without any allies. Nor is this merely a mat ter of curious interest ; there is with it a feeling that the time is not far dis tant when their belief in this will be put to the test. The nihilists are said to be in a state of armed neutrality awaiting the revelation of the policy of the Czar subsequent to his corona tion. There are the usual stories of the reforms, amnesties and liberties to be granted after the coronation, but there is a reasonable doubt of the ful fillment of these expectations. The one thing perhaps of most personal interest to Americans has been the effect made by the simple dignity and plain costume of the Ambassadors of the United States as contrasted with the gorgeous paraphernalia of other countries. The comparison made by the correspondents is usually with France, and the'United States loses nothing in the comparison. COUET HOUSE NEWS. WhM f'a: Occurred Thcra Slnco Our Former Rej r.
