The republicans n Congress, under the guidance of Speaker Keed are es tablishing some ver bad precedents for the Democrats to folio when our torn comes.

The fate of the Panama Canal shows that, although money is the first requi site in engineering works, there are other requisites. It is almost impossi ble to s:iy what the ultimate fate, of the Panama project will be, but it la quite possible that the Commission now bent out to examine the canal as far as it is made, and to report on the feasibility of its completion, m y advise that the original design might be realized, and it is just possible that France might rals! the necessary money ; but, consid ering that the prelimiuary work of the Nicaragua Canai is now well la band, it does aot appear likely. .MO(i the 027 immigrants who landed at Csstle Garden on Tuesday from the North Germin E'oyd steam ship Eider were at least GUO swarthy, lusty-limt'fd Hungarians, whose des tination; according to their own testi mony, and. what is more conclusive, their railrosd tickets, is the Pennsyl vania coal mints in the neighborhood of Pittsburg. The Gofernment inspec tors were unable to find out whether any of the Hungarian horde came here under contract, although there is lKtle doubt in the minds of those who are famliiir with the landing of ImmN grants that such is the fact. A Cou mi'.i s (().) despatch says that on Monday evening fv.natoi John A. Buchanan, of New Philadelphia, Intro duced a Liil in the State Senate to elect Presidential electors by Con grtss district.. Should such a law be enacted, and it should not be declared oncoDs.ilution I, the D.-mocrats of Oio would, under the recent appor tionment of the S:ate, surely elect fif teen of the tw-iity-tbree Presidential electors in 1 $;. Following are the main points of the bill : - There shall be iwi electors for President and Vice President chosen at largs by the voters of the S.aU of Ohio, and the two per sons who are candidates for said cfilcea baying the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. There shall be one elector foi I'resident and Vice President cboeeu by the voters in each Congress district of Ohio as defined by law, and the person who is a candidate for said cilice receiving the hignest number of votes shall be declared elect ed." Hox. Robeet P. Pouter, Saperiu-tendent-of the Census, says that the rrtsent will be the quickest census ever taken. "This," be said, "is no dis paragement to the work of Superic tendent Walker In the census of 1S80, lor I have tbe benefit of all his methods and experiences. Within twenty days I shall commence searchirg tbe records cf every county in tbe United States for the statistics upon home, farm and property mortgages, which Congress made a special fa ure of the present census. Tbe census must be taken be tween June 1 and 30. So far our or ganization Is as nearly perfect as it can be made. It now rests entirely with the supervisors of districts to earry out their int-tructions, aud I see no reason why their work should net all be done in the ( ma allcted. n regard to the stitietics I beheve (hat within twenty day aft?r the comp'. efion of tbe taking Ot the ceuaus that is, the U(Or part of Juiy wesha.l be able to give almost absolutely accural s;a;stics in most of the tieiui:uiec:j. The owners of the silver mines jo the West want the Government to keep up the price of silver by buying up a arge amount every month and holding it. On the same principle is would be a good idea for the Government to buy up all the surplus wheat, corn and other farm products, thereby prevent, ing the price from going down and maintaining a fixed price for all the marketable produce of a large class of its best citizens. The farmers are now taxed to keep up the miners and manu facturersaud why not tax the miters and manufacturers to keep up the farmers. Then, working on the same theory, if the - Government would give a bounty to every consumer it would equalize taxation and make us all rich. But for some reason protection does not work on general principles and the more you examine into it the worse it appears. To pro'ect one class yoa must rob many, and when you attempt to apply protec tion's benificent principles to the masses who deserve protection yoa cannot do it for the reason that some class must be robbvd, and to attempt to rob the few for the benefit of the many, the few would soon fail, and there wou.d be none left to steal from. The farmers are too numerous for the Government to undertake to raise them with a bot tle and as a consequence, are weaned earlv and left to take care of them selves. They have submitted long and patieutly to the protection theory but they will eventually learn that they can be robbed in other ways than that of being knocked down with a club and having their pocket books taken. A movement is on foot among the republicans of Pennsylvania to form an anti-Quay combine, force the boss to weaken on Delamater, bis guberna toiial candidate and withdraw him from the Geld. Quay has the Republi can forces in the State well in hand and can nominate Delamater if he wishes, but there are signs of a storm a brew ing and he may be compelled to haul In h!a sails before the storm breaks. It is rumored that Calvin Wells, of tbe Philadelphia Press and George W. Chllda, of the Philadelphia Ledger, along with other Influential Republi cans in that city are ready to revolt against Quay's domineering dictation, while all over the State are to be found signs of an under current of hostility to any longer wearing tbe Quay collar. In the western part of the State, a num ber of prominent members of the party are out epenly against tbe nomination of Delamater oa account of his subser viency to Quay, claiming that his nom ination will be a disgrace to the party acd lead to Its certain downfall. It is daily growing more evident that tbe Republican party in Pennsylvania, is on tbe verge or a family fight and tbat the only prospect for maintaining peace lies in the possibility of forcing Qnay to pull off Delamater as a candidate and leave the party free to make a nomination. Such an event would be a great relief to Messrs. Barker and Swank, the delegates from this county, who at present cannot let go to spit on their bands and are constantly admon ished tbat their grip is slipping. The process of unseating Democratic members of Congress and fputting Re publicans not elected in their places, says the Hanlsburg Patriot, goes inert ly on. It will not be long before tbe Republican majority of eight will be trebled. Tbe case of Featherstone vs. Cate, from Arkansas, is tbe last one of these outrageous performances. The testi mony taken in tbe case did not sustain the allegations of Intimidation and fraud made by tbe contestant. Not a scintilla o? evidence waa thereto show that tbe return ot Cate ought net to stand. A ballot box which he used to suppress votes was brought before the committee, but there wap no evidence that it bad been used at the election. The case of the contestant was so flimsy that four Republican members voted against ordering tbe previous question. The mijority for Cate, Democrat, was 1.J43. but if it bad b:en 13,343 a Con gress which baa the gall to follow a political hound like Thomas B. Reed would not have hesitated to unseat him. It is a very pretty crop, indeed, that the present Republican leaders are sow ing. It will sptiDg up and near fruit, in good time, never fear ! Trie whirli gig of politics always has its revenge. Some very notable figures have been compiled by the Iltiancvil ClirvnirU showing the general n suits of the op erations of tbe railroads of the country in 19. Reports Lave btrm received from 154 roads, operating 12.C40 miles, wln.se earnings aggregt d 5830,473,510 and net S2S3.273,GS. This is a gain of Sli.iVO-JO in gross over 1SSS, more than three quarters of which was net gain. In olhor words, the Improvement in gross earnings was 5 per cent, while in net it was over 12 j pr cetif. This generally favorable exhibit for 18S9 is supplemented by reports for January, 1S90, which are equally en couraging ac gratifyirg. R.-ports frcm 154 roads for tbit mcnth show over 13 per cent, gain in gross earnings over the corresponding month of 1S89. The reports for Februsry are likewise surprisingly good. For tbe first week, 80, roads showed a gain of oyer 13 per cent., for the second week 84 roads gained over 11 per cent., and for tbe third week SI roads increased over 15 per cent the largest percentage of any week of the ear thus far. The Enyinetrinq 2sevs says that the work of railway extension during tbe coming season promises more activity than in any year since 1887. The sum mary oi tbe various enterprises shows 5.133 miles of railway partially com pleted or in process of construction, 7.041 miles surveyed or under survey, and 2,831 miles of line not yet surveyed, but whose projectors are pushing them with such energy tbat tbe prospect seems fair for tbe beginning of active work before tbe close of tbe year, this makes a total or 14,010 miles of lines in the United States which bave a prospect of being completed or f laced under construction before tbe close of tbe year. Cemiag Hene te Beast. Tbe Republicans of the bouse at least tbat portioa cf them who don't be lieve ia log rolling and pork barrels bad an object lesson the other day of tbe big avenue and easy-going ways Speaker Reed's new rules open to the public treasury. It waa in the publie buildings loot, and there are said to be $33,000,000 id the pot. Cannon and Peters, two members of the commit tee on appropriations, protested vehe mently, but five jobs, appropriating a mi. lion and a baif, went through de spite their opposition. Tbe combina tion of members who want 140 new buildings was too strong. Mr. Cannon ia oo tbe commitee on rules, aod was one of tbe loudest supporters of Speak er Reed's theory of coonting a Quorum. He waa the first to take the floor to sustain bis dictatorial rulings before there were any rules aod a leader io defending the quorum ru'e aod the role against dilatory motions when tbey were reported, but be seemed on Thurs day, when tbe publie building pork barrel was opened, to think be waa back ncder the old system with tbe ju dicial gavel of speaker Carlisle to se cure bins bis rights as a member. When one of tbe worst bills was reached be moved to adjourn a purely dilatory motion, which tbe Democrats were quick to characterize as such, with a keen enjoyment of tbe ludicrous atti tude in which the Republican leader found himself. Tbe vote on tbe bill showed no quorum voting. Mr. Can non raised tbe point cf "no quorum," but the speaker cooly counted a quorum and Mr. Cannon was helpless. This public building combine is one of a nuxber tbat are so strong tbat they can only be successfully reached under the methods of tbe old roles, requiring a quorum to appear oo the record. Many members who are opposed to the log rolling have not the courage for local reasons to vole openly against the wasteful appropriations, especially as tbey could accomplish their purpose by refraining from voting. But tbe pub lic building "combine," Is very alroag. and tbe new roles are admirably framed to carry out Mr. R reed's theory tha "tbe otjacr. of a parliamentary body is action, and cot stoppage of action." Tbe nouse has not made much progress In general legislation. because it has been engaged in seating contes'ants io the place of Democratic members, but the whirr of the whet-ls of the- legislative machinery ia grinding out appropria tions for local purposes and class interests is becoming so deafening tbat it is alarming even anm of those who set it it in motion. Pittsbttrg Post. tiambllnrr In lee. The condition of the ice crop in the upper Hudson River region is a matter of serious concern to dealers who bave already made tbeir contract, at ex tremely high figures, with producers on tbe Kennebec and elsewhere in the East. Cheap Ice from northern New York means disaster to a great many specula tots who have proceeded in the belief that March would be as open a month as was January or February. Tbe ice in Lake Cbamplain, for in stance, is from nine to E'teen inches thick. Tbe Press and Knickerbocker reports tbat within two weeks fiay seven new ice bouses, and as many mure ices'acks. have been built at the lake, report in detail ice boused or stacked or contracted for amounting altogether to from eight hundred thousand to a million tons. The lake and neighboring ponds are a scene of feverish activity jest now. Politicians acd farmers and clergymen are competing for tbe ice harvest, and everybody else who has a dollar to in vest is putting it into frozsn water. Tbe temperature of th- week that begins (Monday) will make or unmake a great many fortunes. X. Y. Sun. Would Embarrass Harrison. Indianapolis, Ind., March 10. At the convention to-day of tbe State pen sion association Harrison and tbe Re publican pension policy were roundly deiiounced. Colore' Tom Bennett of Richmond was particularly severe upon tbe administration's backwardness in passing a service pension law. He re lated bow he bad introduced resolu tions at a Republican Convention, and bow Secretary Hal ford bad beseecbed htm to withdraw tbem, as tbey would embarrass Harrison's campaign for tbe Chicago nomination. He conclnded by saying be wonld not hesitate now, if be had tbe opportunity, to embarrass Mr. Harrison's administration. lie con cluded by saying : "I hope this admin istration will giye as justice. If not, we will give It justice." A. P. Powers, treasurer of the asso ciation and an old dyed in tbe-wool Re publican, was also very outspoken. He said Indiana was getting more Individ ual pensions than any other State, but It was because tbe S'ate was close. "A mere trick of the administration," he said. "We are tired of this d fool policy." TTalked In Her Kleep. Miss Mary Case, an opera singer.'iving at No. 21 Great Jones ttreet New York, is a sour nam butist. and tbat fact was brought home to her in a start ling man ner early on Tuesdy morning by Policeman Stuart of West Thirtieth street station. While on post, etiortly before daybreak he saw an uncanny locking figure, clothed in white, send ing at lb ladies entrance to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. At first the thought or "ff-bost-' flsbed arroea bis mind, out in going nearer be discovered Mi3s Case, clad only in a nightdress. The woman stared so vacancy tbat he knew she was asleep, en he touched her oo ' he shouldtr and asked wha: business she had there.

There she was given proper clothing, and told the Sergeant she re membered nothing since retiring to h-r own room tbe night tefore. Afterward she was escorted to her residence. A Terrible Power. "Thk Speaker counted a quornn and the bll was passed." What till ? Not a political bill ; not a p trty meas ure. But tbe bill in question was ro an apprnpratton from the publsc treas ury. It was the entering wedge, the sharp edge to open the way for extrava gances which now foot np f 1.610 000, 000 of appropriations in sight, with a train behind it which oo man can es timate.

Montana, at its initial Slate election, chose a Democratic Governor and Le gislature as re urred bv the officials of tbe various localities immediately ttttr the voting. When it was discoyred tbat the Sen ate was equally divided, a plot was con trived to coovert tbe Democratic ma jority in tbe nouse into a Republican majority, in order to secure two Repub lican United States Senators. Tbe son of tbe President and other Republicans influential with the Federal Adminis tration were among tbe early abettors of this scheme, tbe method of which was to change tbe representation of a county by throwing out tbe vote of a strougly Democratic precinct. Tbe attempt to impeach tbe correct ness of the returns in the Tunnel Pre cinct of Silver Bow Couuty failed sj utterly as. in truth, to establish tbe opposite of the Republican pretense and to prove tbt tbe vote was correctly counted as honestly cast. This was judicially established in a case tried in the new Scate Court, io which, not withstanding the R"pub!cansT expecta tion that l be decision would be in tbeir favor through partisan bias, a local offi cial was sustained in place on tbe ground tbat the Democratic vote of Silver Bow the same by which the Legislators were chosen was in all re spects legitimate and accurate. In point of fact no one seriously pretends that the Republicans carried tbe county or tbat tbe voters of Montana did net choose a Democratic majority for the popular branch of tbe Legislature. The Republicans who ask admittance to tbe Uoired States Senate as fron Montana, notwithstanding tbe certifica tion of the Governor tbat they bave no iust nr Iffr.l iilm rear thtir i-mkm uh- salutely upon the weertion of tbe pa'eoe fals-hood that the L'gisla'.ure was iiopuMican cn j lint ballot, lhse pretensions have no other foundation whatever than this notorious and judi cially 1. randed falsification.

Tne only hope apparently for Hayti is that she may pass into the bands of some strong Government able and willing to rule with justice and for Hayti's real interests. That the Hy tian blacks are unable to govern them selves has been proven very clearly since tbey began to try to do so. This is not entirely the fault of tbe African population, who are descended from the slaves imported by tbe Span iards at the opening of the sixteuth century, to take the place of tbe two million of aborigines whom Columbus found there and civillntion wiped out of existrrc?. Hayti's history lells or nothing but tbe cruelty, rapacity and senselessness or the Spaniards, French and English, who io turn held tbe island. Ir was simply a haven for ad venturers until tbe colored population, inspired by the French Revolution threw off the bonds of slavery. Ie 1804 Hayti was ror the Crt time an inde pendent Sta'e, a privilege gained after much bloodshed. Republic, kingdoms dictatorships and every variety of form of government, have flourished in Hay ti for loLger or shorter, principally shorter, periods during the last ninety years.
