It was recommitted to i tbe cemuilfee on sericulture, I A WAsniNOTOX dispatch on Monday savs the fight between Senator nay and Congressman Dalzell will be renewed as soon as the Senator retarns from Florida. There will not only be a row between these two men, but the entire political organ- ization of western Pennsylvania will be involved, and peace will not be declared until one or the other faction is beaten. Just before Quay went to Florida President Harrison settled tbe contest over patronage between Quay and Dal zell in a rather novel manner. Each of these gentlemen bad a candidate for Census Supervisor of the Pittsburg dis trict. The President wanted to appoint Dalzell 's man. principally because be waa the choice of Census Superintend ent Porter, ne did not dare to dis please Senator Quay, however. So be hit uton the nnique plan of making two districts out of one and appointing both candidates. The President then con gratulated himself on having escaped from this dilemma. He is not free, however, by any means. Senator Quay has telegraphed to the Senate to have tbe nomination of George Oliver, Dal zall's census supervisor, hung np, inti mating that be would oppose conSrma tion on his return. Mr. Dalzell was very angry when be learned of thi". but does not think it wise to talk for publi cation at present. One of the Pennsylvania Congress men said that this last step of Quay's meant war to the knife between tbe Quay and ant .Quay factions of the Re publican partv in Allegheny county. It is Quay against the field, and the fibt will be fought to a finish. Tbe Chris Magee wing of tbe party will join Mr. Daizelland bis followers, and an attempt will be made to down Quay before next year's election. George Oliver whose appointment Quay now intends to oppose, is a brother of Ila ry Oliver, the influential and wealthy Republican who has helped carry many a P ght for Quay. His lnfioence will, of course, be opposed to the Senator now. and the war will be formally begun during the next fortnight. Osi of these days a defeated Repub lican party, says the Chicago HtraUL, will be asking Itself whether it patd to steal Montana ; whether It was good policy to overthrow the parliamentary practice of English-speaking people for a thousand years for tbe purpose of getting a little tighter grip upon things in the Filty first Congress ; whether it availed anything to set op Tom Reed as a dictator among a few people wbo are patient under impertinent aggrava tion, but who very well know tbe time and tbe place to rebuke upstarts and violent demagogues; whether there was anything lading In the advantage gained by unseat mg a score or more of honestly elected Democratic CoLgress nien ; whether there U real prot in th encouragement of fellows like Foraker. who must sootier or laf-;r ex pore them selves as this wretch has done, and whether tte crimes of a Dudley and a Quay can be hidden by the otter tatious piety of a man like Wanamaker. Oae of these days all these things will come home to the R-pul!:cns of this country. Tbey are electioneering for des-truction. A CORRESPOND EXT Of the Xvrth- western HailroaJer advances some oUJ theories to account for the frequency and severity of storms of modern times. He gives tbe figured to prove t bat there are now over 30.000 locomotives in actual ose in the United Slate, besides the hundreds of thousands of stationary engines of all kinds and sizes. From a round 30,000 locomotives he estimates as much as 5.1.00U.000.000 cubic yards of vapor each wek. over 7,000,000 000 cubic yards a day, to be returned as raia "quite enough," be Siys, 'tD produce a good rainstorm every twenty-four hours." He estimates other engines of all kinds at 130,000, probably a very low estimate, and concludes that there, with the locomotives, send about 470. 000.000,000 yards of vapor Into the air every seven days. "Is it not enough," he asks, "to g1v us floods of terror?' Hundreds of gas wells sending their poison into the atmosphere ; millions of cesspolea and sewers. Would it be any wonder if some blighting plague should lay waste the land ?" The Senate on Tuesday ratified the British extradition treaty. Tbe text of the treaty waa recently published. Extraditions ia not to be bad for politi cal offense, cor shall any person sur rendered by either party be tried for any other Cense than tbe one for which he waa extradited. The treaty doea not apply to any crimes committed before ita ratification. Daring the dis cussion of the measure, whicb lasted about two hours, several efforts were mari-tn emrt itin i.n. nuriiiw I ' - - i ulars, but tbey were not successful. The principal points of attack weie tbe sections including manslaughter and obtaining goods or money under false pretenses. Tbe amendments that weie made are said to be of an nBlmpoitant character, and It is expected that tbey will be accepted by tbe British repre sentative without serioos ot jectioa. Geo. Wilcox, who recently died in Wtat Franklin, this Slate, lived and died in the Dtmocratic faith. His will, jual filed in the Bradford county court, is a somewhat remarkable document. He left a stated sum to bis grandsons, on condition that they support tbe Democratic ticket, state and national. His grand-daughters, in order to interit any of the old man's wealth, must eith er marry Democrats or remain single. Should any one fail to comply with the will their amount shell Lo divided among those wi.o remain faitL'ul. In the evect of all failing to obey the re quest. tLea tbeir interest iu the taiate is forfeited, aud the entire sum oti to ILe Democratic National CoUiUiUU. (ioviusoR Beaver baa appointed D. J.

Mr. Waller ia president cf the Bioomsturg Normal School, ar.3 bas for years been prominently and actively engaged in educational matters. There were about twenty aeplr&nts for tbe puellion. The Msutana lllectlen. Tbe case of the two Republicans wbo claim to be tbe legally elected Senators from Montana ia based entirely upon alleged frauds in Silver Bow county. liy throwing out all tbe Democratic votes in one precinct they were able to make pretext of having carried tbe Legislature. The Democrats all along have furnished ample proof that no fraud waa committed there, and that any attempt to go behind tbe returns would be tLe most barefaced robbery. But tbe Republican editors, who have grown so accustomed to defending fraud that they rather dligbt in it. have kept on shouting "Wolf I" until they are black in tbe face. An investigation has just been finish ed which ought to settle all doubt as to tbe honesty of tbe election In Silver Bow county. It seems that tbe result of tbe Shrievalty contest hinged on tbe disputed precinct, just as tbe Legisla ture did. Accordingly tne whole clr cumstancM of tbe election. have been gone into carefully, and both Repub licans and Democrats have produced all tbe evidence at their disposal. Tne result baa been a complete vindication of tbe Democrats. It was shown that tbe counting of ballots was practically done openly and in tbe presence of nu merous witnesses. Tbe local Republi can manager was not there, it is true, because be bad been put to bed drank. Tbe R-rublican claim of fraud was based chiefly on tbe fact that there were only four votes cast in the pre cinct for their candidates. At the in vestigation, they could only produce three men wbo would swear that tbey had voted their ticket. Not one of the Republican accusations was npheld, and the facta were shown to be just as tbe Democrats claimed. Tbe hearing of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections was in pro gress on tbe Montana case oo Saturday at the very time this testimony waa be ing brought out in the New State. In the course ot bis argument. Colonel Paine, the counsel for tbe Republican claimants, admitted that their right to their seats depended upon the Si'ver Bow casa. If the votes in that precinct were to be counted. Messrs. Maglnnis and Clark were tbe duly elected Sena tors from Montana. Colonel Paine would not have been so hasty, perhaps, in making that admission if be coula have anticipated the result of tbe investigation-. Bo.b the disputes in West Virginia and Montana have ended disastrously for the Republicans, so far. Mr. QoS'i nnwise claim that be bad been elected Governor of the former State simply served to bring out tbe fact that bis party bad been guilty of the grossest frauds and to tarnish bis own reputa tion. And now tbe facts disclosed in Montana will prove an equal boomer- rang. Tbey show clearly that tbe Re publican cry of fraud was simply in tended to divert public attention while they ato.e tbe State. JV. Y. Star. Ilarrissn not Excepted. Tbe fact that young Mr. Douglas, son of the eminent statesman, Stephen A. Douglas, made an Interesting and forcefully instructive speech at tbe Lincoln banquet this week, attracts at tention not only by reason of its own excellencies, but because it affords a rare exception to tbe rule which says that the sons of great men rarely do great work. We don't have to dig ins to ancient history of foreign countries to detect this univrrsal law In active operation. We find it in oar own time. George Washington left no son. It Is extremely fortunate for tbe father of bis country that his paternity was con fined to the Natioo, extending no further. With the single exception of John Adams, the race of great men at that time left no marked significantly important successors. Wasbluglon, Jrfferson. Hamilton. Burr, Arnold, where are theli children of importance. Coming later djwo, and no', so very much later either, we strike Franklin and tbe race of scientific men wbo witn him peopled tbe intellectual earth with idra, but not wi'b children. Look at th B-ntona. the Claya. the Webeters, the Calbouns, where are tbeir offspring or account f Tbis is In all lines. It is not to be found in tbe upper realms of statesmanship and politics alone. It is as true in journalism, in literature of whatever name. In trade, in commerce, in finance, in every realm of art. in poetry, in science, and the exceptions are just frequent enough to call atten tion to the well proved rule. y. Y. Press. A Seteor Burst at Sea. Tbe Allan Line steamship Scandi navian, whicb plies between Philadel phia and Glasgow, made a narrow es cape from total destruction on ber last voyage from Philadelphia owing to tbe explosiou of a meteor on tbe decks of tbe vessel on tbe night of January 22 last. Sbe was in latitude 41.46, longi tude Co.OG. At tbe lime of tbe occur rence tbe sea was running bigb and tbe wind blowing furiously. Chief Officer Miller, who was on watch at tbe time, siys that a auaden gale sprung np from tbe northwest, accompanied by a dense snowstorm, with occasional squalls of bail and rain. The night was exceed legly daik. In a twinkling a ball of fire decended from tbe heavens with a hissing sound and exploded on the decks between tbe main and mizzen masts. Sparks were scattered all over tbe ship hundreds or pieces of metal flew in every direction. Holes were burned in tbe decks, and tbe wiliest consternation prevailed among tbe cattle that were being carried on deck. Several of tbe crew weie burned, aad it was ocly through tbe peie'.sient efforts of tbe rffic"rs that order was maintained Tbe vessel's bead was kept before the cowling gale with tbe greatest difficult ty. Tbe nydiographic Office at Washing ton and tbe Meteorological Offices throughout Europe look upon the affair as one of tbe most interesting and won derful phenomena yet reported by sea faring men. Protecting tbe Farmers. The St. Louia GIo6e-Z7oera tells tbe Western farmers that the duties on all important agricultural products are so high as to be practically prohibitory. These duties are not merely proh.bi lo ry ; tbey are futile and absurd. Witb agricultural products absolutely free of duty, tbeir price could not be affected in tbe slightest degree in a country wbicb is a large exporter ot tbese arti cles. But duiiea are imposed on wheat, rye, corn, and other products of tbe faim, to amuse American farmers with tbe belief tUal tbey are protected while tbey are undergoing tbe process of tanff extortion. Tbe way to protect tbe farmers is to wiuen tbe area of Commercial freedom. so teat tbey may cave wider maikeis tor tbeir surplus products and obtain the comm-xikiea tbey consume at fair prices. Si long as the existing system sbll endure tbe farmers of tbis country :i; be vol.grd to 11 tbeir products under conditions of fiee trade, and to buy wtat they consume at prices mas'.pu'ated by tariff sheltered combin ations, trusts and mouopolies.

In certain portion) of the West there bas been a curious and dangeroua de valopment of lawlessness among that portion of tbe community that conaid era itself tbe most respectable and might reasonably be expected to be tbe most law-abiding. It is founded on the belief that tbe end justifies tbe means. no matter what tbey are. Like the ancient miriner whom Bosina Yokes made famous, and wbo married a dozen wives in bis tours around tbe world, "It doesn't matter what you do, if yoor heart is only true to Poll." Tbe Prohibitionists, wbo look upon tbe rest of tbe world as nn worthy of regard, are tbe chief offenders in this respect. In Iowa tbey have destroyed property in drfiance of tbe law. invaded tbe privacy of homes and walked rough shod over the personal rights of people, until there baa been a revulsioo of feel ing, and their oojust and cruel liquor laws will probably be repealed. It ia in Missouri now that their chief activi ty is displayed, and in comparison with the scenes enacted in aome of tbe older cities of that State, tbe worst mining town on tbe frontier is peaceable and law-abiding. In Lathrop. tbe women went through tbe town in a band. Tbey bad pledged themselves to exterminate tbe liquor traffic, and tbey wrecked saloons and and drug stores, throwing tbe liqnoi Into tbe streets and deetroying property generally. Tbey even talked of invad ing private booses, bet tbst idea wss given np. One woman told ber follow- , eis that she knew a bouse where tbey kept liquor all tbe time, and advised that It De raided. Tbey did not do so. because of tbe intimation that If they did they would be met with a double barreled shot gun. Tbe resnlt of tbe outbreak will be watched with Interest. Tbe prose cuting attorney bas s'goified bis inten tion of doing bis duty an ) having tbe women responsible for the outbreak arrested. Tbe law-abiding Piobibi tionists bays threatened in relnrc to kill tbe first man who serves a warrant on any of thir wives abd daughters. It would seem that these geotlemen might profitably reform their own fam ilies before tbey undertake to reform the rest of the world. JV. Y. Star. Another Ballot-Box Deal. Washington. Feb. 17. Tbe feather atone-Cte contest oase may develop some interesting debate. Mr. Cate, tbe Democratic sitting member, bas recent ly come into possession of some inform mat Ion, with tbe necessary proof, which may, perhaps, create some diversion in bis favor. Among tbe many things filed with the election committee as evidence by Mr. Featberstooe. tbe con testants, in support ot bla case, is a ballot-box accompanied by a statement to tbe effect that it was used in the election whicb resul'ed, according to the Governor of Arkansas, in tbe choice of Mr. Cate. Tbe box ia one of the "funny" kind. Over tbe slot in tbe top through which the ballots are inserted, can be fitted, at will, a cover, by meaus of wbicb tbe ballots are di verted In their downward course and are carefully deposited on the outside of tbe box. Mr. Fealherstene alleges that tbis Is tbe reason Mr. Cate secured on the face of tbe returns more votes than be did. Now Mr. Cate comes forward with tbe statement that not only were such boxes not used in tbe election in bis district, but that this particular box was, for several days preceding tb election, reposing quietly on one of tbe shelves ia tbe rooms of tbe Re oblican national league la this city ; that there are marks on trie box wbicb prove ita identity, and that he can prove that it was taken straight irom tbe beadquars ters of tbe leagae to tbe room of tbe Tlonae Committee on elections. This statsmsat be proposes to bsve made on tbe floor of tbe House, and It may prove very useful to bis case. An Expenslre Entertainment. Tba most notable entertainment, without exception, ever given at the executive maneioo wbere refreshments were served, was tbat to tbe diplomatic corps in February, 1831, at the close or the Hayes administration. There bad passed before the President and Mrs. Hayes 7000 persons by actual count. Of this number 4500 partook or tbe lavish refreshments served. There were two large wine barrels of terrspin pre pared ana served. Over 1500 loaves of bread and 120 bams were made Into sandwiches. There were nearly 1000 quarts of cream furnished. Nearly 400 chickens were used in salads. Over 150 gallons of coffee and gieat tanks of lemonade were consumed. There were cakes and confectiocs without stint. Tbe steward of the household, W. T. Crump, who managed thia emormoua gastronomic campaign, b d a small amy of men and women in tne kitchen. A supply of 2500 clean plates was kep: constantly on band and required 10 dishwashers. There were seven cooks in the kitchen and 50 waiters em ployed in serving tbe guests. Tbe ae tual cost of tbis single entertainment was although no wines were served wbicb was mors than bas ever been expended by any President for State dinnis during a whole adminis tration. Tbe jam waa unparalleled, owing to S-nators and others abusing the executive hospitality by bringing' as many as 10 ladies on tbe card des tined only to include tbe ladies of their families. Washington Star. An American Bismarck. The Albany JSTcent'ngr Journal, a Re publican paper of great authority, speaks admiringly of Mr. Speaker Reed as "the Bismarck of American politics.' Mr. Reed may or may not deserve this title, but Its unquestion ably tbe Bismarck idea or politics tbat be represents. It is well tbat thia Should b recognized. Tha smart nir thing is that there ara Americans wbo recognize it and yet can approve it. The concentration of rxbitrary power in the individual official, whether by personal assumption or witb tbe con sent of tbe legislative body, is essen tially Bismarckian. Not less so is tbe idea that those wbo bsppen to possess temporary power are at liberty to ose it without restrsint and in disregard of tbe checks and limitations whicb it is tbe object of free government to secure. Thoroughly Bismarckian, also, ia tbe policy wbicb looks to tbe centralization of power, tbe subordination of local government and tbe control ef popular elections by tbe central authority. It is in support of tbis policy tbat Mr. Speaker Reed bas assumed that extra ordinary attitude which baa gained for him tbe title of the Bismarck ef Amer ican politics, bnt tbs policy ia not of bis invention. Americana bave not been accustomed hitherto to regard Biamaik aa a model In politics, nis methods are tbe opposite of those tbat bave been considered American. It is odd tbat we should be adopting Bismarckism about tbe time that dermany ia growing out of it. Phila. Times. Are er Papr hm Her Lire.
