taferia f vccwnii. EDtr.SDURC. pa.; FRIDAY, - - MARCH II, 1890. The rt 'public in Brazil seems to be on a very uncert tin foundation. A citizen of Indianapolis recently called at the White house. "Mr. liar riajit cin'r be seen t).diy," be was told. "I suspected as much," was bis answer. "II baa grown too email." The Republicans in Congress, under tbe guidance of Speaker Reed are es tablishing some ver bad precedents for tbe Democrats to follow when our turn comes. They will nuke some frightful grimaces when they bare to swallow tbir own medicine. EX-CONUUES-SMAX W. P Tavlcee, of Kentucky, who was shot in the bead by en tries E. Kincaid, at Washington on Friday, February 2S h, died at the hospital in Washington on Tuesday last. Kincaid who was out on bail was re-arrested End Is now in prison. A ppe arancks indicate that the United S'a'es, leading England, will become in the greatest iron pro ducing countrv In th world. The 'P'ff" produced in 18S3 was above eight and a h ilf million tons, an in creas of nearly a million and a quar ter tons over the previous jear, and th UrgH; product we ever bad. I'enrisylv wila is still the Grst iroa-rro-daclntr State, t ith Oiio second and Alabama third. Koi'.Kiir (i. Blaine, brother of Secretary B aine, who has for some years ha I the otlloe of a curator of tbe ltpirtmftit of Auricu'tore. has been app('.ut-d bv Secretary B isk superin tendent of the quaractlue aUt.ons under the bureau ot am mil industry. The principal duties attached to hi new position is that of drawing the salary, which it is s.i'.d Mr. B aloe can do with as much ability as any o' her man in tbe United Kitr. It runs in the family. The U'publicMr. organization, says the Chicago Herald includes within it the fan it ica. bigots and extremists ot the communities, the Pharisees, who are of the I-am-hoIier tban thou class, and w'u, when in the church, are intolerant and disposed to persecute all who d.ftVr from them. They are tbe descendants, in moral lines, of the men who hung (Quakers and Babtlsts and witchrs. and who to-day, if they bad the power, would employ tbe fagot, the halter and the lash to 'extirpate Iemacrats and to crush out any other tbiug which dared to differ from them. 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 say what the ultimate fate, of the Panama project will be, but It Is quite possible that the Commission row bent out to examine the canal as far as it is made, and to report on the feasibility of its completion, m ty advise that the original design might be realized, and it is just possible that France might ralsf the Decefs ry money ; but, consid ering that the preliminary work of the Nicaragua Canai is now well In band, it does not appear likely. Among the 07 immigrants wha landed at Csstle Garden on Tuesday from the North (lermin L'oyd 6team ship Eider were at least 600 swarthy, lusty-timl't-d Hungarians, whose des tination; according to their own teat I mony, and. what is more conclusive. their railroad tickets. Is the Pennsyl vania coal uiint-s in the neighborhood of Pittsburg. The Government inspec tors were unable to End out whether any of the Hungarian horde came here under contract, although there is little doubt in the minds of those who are familiir with the landing of immS grants that such is the fact. A Con Miit s ().) despatch says that on Monday erening S natot John A. Buchanan, of New Philadelphia, intro duced a Li.l in tbe S'ate Se-nate to elect Presidential electors by Con grtss district!". Should sush a law be en.cted, and it should not be declared oncocsliiution il, the D.-mocrats of Ohio would, under the recent appor tionment of the S:ate, surely elect fif teen of the t wetty-tbree Iresidectiai electors in lSirJ. Following are the Uiiiu points of the bill : --There shall be tw electors for President and Vice President chown at Urgs by the voters of the S.aU of Ohio, and the two per sons who are candidates for said cfilas baying the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. There shall be one elector for President and Vice President chosen by the voters in each Cotigress district of Ohio as defined by law, and tbe person who is a candidate for said cilice receiving tbe bigbest number of votes shall be declared elect ed." Hon. RortEET P. Portek, Superiu-tendent-of the Census, says that the rrtseni will be the quickest census ever tuken. 4 This," be said, "is no dis paragement to the work of Superint tendent Walker in the census of 1SS0, Jor I bave tbe benefit of all his metbods and experiences. Within twenty days I shall commence searcblrg tbe records of every county in tbe United States for the statistics upon borne, farm and property mortgages, which Congress made a special tea ure of tbe present census. The census must be taken be tween June 1 and 30. So far our or ganizition is as nearly perfect as it can be made. It now rests entirely witb the supervisors of districts to earry out tbeir Instructions, aud I see no reason why their work should net all be done in the t ma allcted. In regard to tbe stidbtics I be!:eve that within twenty days after the completion of tbe taking ot the census that is, the lafUr part of Juiy we sha.l be able give almost absolutely accural sra';stics in most of the depatiuien:j. The owners of the silver mines in tbe West want the Government to keep up the price of silver by buying op a large amount every month and holding it. On the same principle ic would be a good idea for tbe Government to boy up all the surplus wheat, corn aud other farm products, thereby prevent ing tbe price from going down and maintaining a fixed price for all tbe marketable pioduce of a large class of its best citizens. The farmers are now taxed to keep op the miners and mano faeturersaud why not tax the miters and manufacturers to keep tip tbe farmers. Then, working on tbe same theory. If thd' 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 tbe more you examine into it tbe worse It appears. To pro'ect one class yoa must rob many, and when yoa attempt to apply protec tion's benificent principles to tbe masses who deserve protection yoa cannot do it for tbe reason that some class must be robbed, and to attempt to rob tbe few for the benefit of the many, the few would soon fail, and there would be none lert to steal from. The farmers are too numerous for tbe Government to undertake to raise them with a bot tle and as a conseqaeoce, are weaned early and left to take care of them selves. They have submitted long and patiently to tbe protection theory but they will eventually learn that they can be robbed in other ways than that of bHcg knocked down with a club and having their pocket books taken. A movement is on foot among tbe Republicans of Pennsylvania to form an anti-Quay combine, force tbe boss to weakeu on Delarnater, bis guberna- toiial candidate and withdraw him from the Geld. Quay has the Republi can forces in tbe State well in band and can nominate Delamater if be wishes. but there are signs of a storm a brew ing and be may be compelled to haul iu his sails before tbe storm breaks. It is rumored that Calvin Wells, of tbe Philadelphia Press and George W. Chlldj, of the Philadelphia Ledjer, along with other influential Republi cans in that city are ready to revolt against Quay's domineering dictation, while all over tbe State are to be round 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 tbe party are out epenly against the nomination of Delamater on account of bis subser viency to Quay, claiming that his nom ination will be a disgrace to tbe party acd lead to Its certain downfall. It la daily growing more evident that the Republican party in Pennsylvania, is on tbe verge or a family fight and that tbe only prospect for maintaining peace lies in the possibility of forcing Quay to pull off Delamaler as a candidate auu leave me party tree 10 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 that their grip is slipping. The process of unseating Democratic members of Congress and putting Re publicans not elected in their places. says the Hanlsburg Patriot, goes meri 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 testis mony taken in the case did not sustain tbe allegations ot Intimidation and fraud made by tbe contestant. Not scintilla o? evidence was there to show that tbe return of Cate ought net to stand. A ballot box wbicb be used to suppress votes was brought before tbe committee, but there wap no evidence that it bad been tused at tbe election Tbe case of tbe contestant was so flimsy that four Republican members voted against ordering tbe previous Question. The majority for Cate, Democrat, was l.oHS. but if it bad b:en 13,343 a Con gress which baa tbe gall to follow i political bound like Thomas B. Reed would not bave hesitated to unseat him. It is a very pretty crop. Indeed, that the present Republican leaders aie sow Ing. Iz will spTicg op and bear fruit in g:wd time, never fear 1 The whirll gi of politics always bas its revenge. Some very notable figures bsve been compiled by the Knancuil CTironiele j showing the general nsults of tbe op J erations of tbe railroads ot the country j iu 11). Reports Lave bern received j frutu 154 roads, cperatiug 12.C4G miles, j whv.ee earnings aggregated 563o.478.510 ! and net f 2S.273,CS2. This is a gain of ; J 12 .Oo in gross over 1?3, more than three quarters of which was net gain. In other words, the Improvement In gross earnings was 5 per cent, while in net It was over 12 j per ce&t. This generally favorable eihibit for 1S61) is supplemented by leports for January, 1S90, which are equally en couraging acd gratifyirg. Reports from 154 roads for tbst mcnth show over 13 per cent, gain in gross earnings over the correspondings month of 1889. The reports for Februsry are likewise surprisingly good. For tbe first week, SG, 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 51 roads increased over 15 per cent tbe largest percentage of any week of tbe vear thus far. The Enyineerinq Jfeira says that tbe woikof railway extension during tbe coraing season promises more activity than in any year since 1887. The sum mary oi tbe various enterprises shows 5.138 miles of railway partially com pleted or in process of construction, 7.041 miles surveyed or nnder survey, and 2,831 miles of line not yet surveyed, but whose projectors are pushing them with such energy that tbe prospect seems fair for tbe beginning of active work before tbe close of tbe year, this makes a total of 14,010 miles of lines in the United States which bave a prospect of being completed or laced under construction before the close of Ibe year. Cemlng Hone te Boeet. The Republicans of the house at least that portion cf them who don't be lieve in log rolling and pork barrels bad an object lesson the other day of tbe btg avenue and easy-going ways Speaker Reed's new rules open to the public treasury. It wa in tbe public buildings loot, and there are said to be $35,000,000 in tbe pot. Cannon and Peters, two members of tbe commit tee on appropriations, protested vehe mently, but five jobs, sppropriating a mi. lion and a half, went through de spite their opposition. Tbe combina tion of members who want 140 new buildings was too strong. Mr. Cannon is on tbe com mi tee on rules, and was one of tbe loudest supporters of Speak er Reed's theory of counting a Quorum, lie was tbe first to take tbe floor to sustain bis dictatorial rulings before there were any rules aod a leader in defending tbe quorum rule aod tbe rule against dilatory motions when they were reported, but be seemed oc Thurs day, when tbe public building pork barrel was opened, to think be was back ncder tbe old system with the 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, wbicb 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 quorate and Mr. Cannon was helpless. This public building combine is one of a nuxber that are so strong (bat they can only be successfully reached under tbe methods of the eld rules, requiring quorum to appear on the record. Many members who are opposed to the log rolling have not tbe courage for local reasons to vote openly against the wasteful appropriations, especially as tbey could accomplish their purpose by refraining from voting. But the pub ic building "combine" la very etroag. and tbe new roVsare admirably framed to carrr out Mr. Breed's theery thar the otjct of a parliamentary body is action, and cot stoppage of actiou." Tbe Ilouse has not made much progress in general legislation. because it bas been engaged in seating conles'anta iu the place of Democratic members, but the whirr of tbe wheels of the legislative machinery In grinding out appropria tions for local purposes and class interests ia becoming so deafening that It is alarming even some of t hone who set it It in motion. PitUbrrrg Tout. Gambling 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 their contracts, at ex tremely high figures, with producers on tbe Kennebec and elsewhere in the East. Cheap lee from northern New York means disaster to a great many specula tors who bave proceeded in tbe 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 fi'teen inches thick. Tbe 1'ress and Knickerbocker reports that within two weeks fiay seven new ice bouses, and as many more ice s'acks. bave been built at tbe lake, report in detail ice housed 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 jast now. Politicians acd farmers and clergymen are competing for tbe ice harvest, and everybody else wbo has a dollar to in vest is potting it Into frozen water. Tbe temperature of tb week that begins (Monday) wilt make or nnmake a great mauy fortunes. X. Y. Sun. Would Embarrass Harrison. iNDiANAroLis, Ind., March 10. At tbe convention to-day of tbe State pen slon association Harrison and tbe Ks- tmbiican pension policy were roundly denounced. Colone Tom Bennett of Richmond was particularly severe upon the administration's backwardness in passing a service pension law. lie re lated bow he bad introduced resolu tions at a Republican Convention, and bow Secretary Hal ford bad beseecbed mm to witndraw them, as tbey would embarrass Harrison's campaign for tbe Chicago nomination. He conclnded by saying he wonld not hesitate now, if be had tbe opportunity, to embarrass Mr, Harrison's administration. He con eluded by saying : 'I hope this admin istration will giye as justice. It nor, we will give it justice." A. P. Powers, treasurer of tbe asso ciation and an old dyed in the-wool Re publican, was also very outspoken. He said Indiana was getting more Individ ual pensions than any other State, but It was because the State was close. "A mere trick of tbe administration," he said. -We aie tired or this d fool policy." Vfalked la Her Kleep. Miss Mary Case.an opera slnger.'iving at No. 21 Great Jones ttreet New York, is a soutnembuliFt, and that fact was brought home to her in a start lice roan ner early on Tuesday morning by Policeman Stuart of West Thirtieth street station.

There she was given proper clothing, and told the Sergeant sue re numbered nothing since retiring to her own room tbe night tefore. Afterward she was escorted to her residence. A Terrible Fewer. "Thx Speaker counted a quornn and tbe bil was passed." What bill ? Not a political bill ; not a ptrty meas ure. But tbe bill in question was ro an appropratlon from the publsc treas ury. It was the entering wedge, the sharp edge to open the way for extrava gances wbicb now foot op f 1.610 000. 000 of appropriations in sight, with a train behind it which no man can es timate.

Montana, at its initial State elect loo, chose a Democratic Governor and le gislature as re urred bv the officials of tbe various localities immediately utter the voting. When it was discovered that the Sen ate was equally divided, a plot was con trived to coovert tbe Democratic ma jority in tbe Ilouse into a Republican majority, in order to secure two Repub lican United Statts Senators. Tbe son of tbe President and other Republicans influential with the Federal Adminis tration were among the early abettors of this scheme, the method of which was to change the representation of a county by throwing out tbe vote or a atrougly Democratic precioct. The attempt to impeach tbe correct ness of the returns in the Tunnel Pre cinct of Silver Bow Couuty failed su utterly as. in truth, to - establish the opposite of the Republican pretense and to prove that tbe vote was correctly counted as honestly cast. This was judicially established in a case tried in the new S:ate Court, in wbicb. not withstanding tbe R-publcansT expecta tion that tbe decision would be in their favor through partisan bias, a local offi cial was sustained in place on tbe ground that tbe 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 tbe Republicans carried tbe county or that tbe voters of Montana did net choose a Democratic majority for the popular breech of tbe Legislature. The Republicans wbo ask admittance to tbe Uoi:ed States Senate as fron Montana, notwithstanding the cert iflca tion of the Governor that tbey have no just or leg I cUIin. res: their case ab solutely upon tbe Msertion of tbe penr falsehood that the L'gisla'.ure was Republican cn J int ballot.

Sooner or later the Ilutiao Republic will be in trouble agio. Tbe war i which ended a few month ago iu tbe victory of Hippo'.yte did not mend the abuses which hive made IIa;ti an arena for revt!otitns since the end of tbe last century. Toe only hope apparently for llayti in that ebe may pass into the bands of some strong Government able and willing to rule with justice and for Hayti's real interests. That tbe Hy tian blacks are unable to govern them selves bas 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 opeuing of tbe sixteenth century, to take the place of tbe two million of aborigines whom Columbus found there and civilizition wiped out of existrrc?. Hayti's bistoiy tells of nothing but the cruelty, rapacity and senselessness of the Spaniards, French and English, wbo iu turn held tbe island. It was simply a haven for ad venturers until tbe colored population, inspired by the French Revolution threw off the bonds of slavery. Io 1804 Uaytl was for tbe firbt time an inde pendent Sca'e, a privilege gained after much bloodshed.
