A recent dispatch from I'aris state;
that an ambassador of one of the great
powers has expressed the belief that t
grave crisis in the far east is imminent
and that it can ouly tie avoided iy an
alliance between the United States, Great

quoted as saying that "it is impossible
for the United States to remain neutral,
as they cannot abandon their China
trade to Russia without a struggle."
It is of course difficult to obtain an
expression of opinion concerning this
statement in any official quarter, but it
is not credited by those who have the
lest means of accurately judging the
real trend of affairs iu the east. They
say that Russia, strictly speaking, is
not a commercial power, and that con
eequeiitly there is little, if any, proba

Hut what will they do with their vic

state or have they merely pulled it from
the control of a political leader who may

put it in the hand- of one who is both
selfish and dishonest? Have they "re
deemed" Xew Jersey so that the new
spoiler may take what the outcast has
left? Have they taken Maryland that
they may change the name of Gorman

These serious questions to be seriously

corruption. Here legislatures are

hands of the corruptionists. High of

Inconsistence when accompanied by-
faithful personal allegiance is rewarded

The proposed inquiry by the senate
committee into the municipal affairs of
Philadelphia will be a gigantic farce if
the committee adheres to its original
r.lans. This is now admitted by its
most enthusiastic friends. It is no long
er a secret in political circles that the
investigation is to be so conducted as
not to drag in the railroad and traction
companies, which are alleged to have
debauched for many years the Quaker
city councils. The political agents of
these corporations have leen assured by
leading members of the committee that
the manner in which certain ordinances
were massed bv city councils will not be
brought to the surface.
The investigation will not extend be'
yond the departments of the city gov
ernment. Kfforts will be made to show
up the methods of distributing political
patronage by the Philadelphia combine
and extent to which the offices are used
to keen that organization intact. If the
railroads are dragged into the investiga

much explanation by relatives of cer

At the recent election in Pennsylvani
1S7.000 Democrats, says the Philadel
phia llfvord, did not go to the polls; in
New York 15.",000 Democrats failed to
vote; in New Jersey, notwithstanding a
heated canvass and a strong candidacy,
there was a falling off from the Cleve
land vote of over 36,000.
There is no consolation for defeat in
reminiscence of past strength; but there
is food for rumination. The voters who
in 1S'J'2 drove the Republican party out
of power expected of the Democratic ad
ministration unity of purpose and a re
demption ot the promise made to the
country. Instead of unity, there has
been constant bickering. The pledges
on the f aith of which power was obtained
have been but calf redeemed. The vo
ters, finding themselves deceived, have
tiecome disheartened and disgusted.
There is no way open for future recu
peration except to intrust the future
leadership to young, vigorous and active
Democrats who would bring honesty of
purpose to the task of redemption. The
politicians responsible for Democratic
failure should accept the rebuke of the
people and make way for better men and
more straightforward methods.
President Cleveland Friday signed
the most important civil service reform
order he has ever made, under which all
postoffices which are not near enough to
a free delivery office can be brought
within the classified service, and which,
in its practical operation, will enable the
postmaster general to divide the country
into large postal districts so that the
postmaster at the metropolitan centre
will le the only official, high or low, in
the postoffices of the district who will be
outside of a civil service law bringing 73
per cent, of all offices of all classes into
the classified servke.
The civil service commissioners sug
gested this plan of extending civil ser
vice reform to postoffices, and it was
cordially adopted by the postmaster gen
eral and the president, who were very
desirous to reach this result without
waiting for the legislation which con
gress seemed unwilling to give toward
that end.
The order will work a revolution in
the postal service, but Postmaster Gen

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C. Nov , 1. lSf'5
Political defeat is a part aiid portion
of the history of every political p:trty and
amounts to little when the memt-ers of
the defeated party huve the sense and
the courage to profit by the lesson
which can always be learned fr.ni de
feat. The hvsm of the defeat by which
the Democratic party this week 1. t the
states of New York, New Jeisey, Mary
land ami Kentucky, which are n iturailv
Democratic, and allowed the Ritiubli
cans to pile up abnormal off year ma
jorii s in other states, is so plain that
he who runs may read it, and he can
run a great deal faster than some of the
Democratic candidates did in the states
named, too. If tiie rank and ti'.e of r e
party displays the sense and courage to
protit by this lesson the Democratic par
tvhasEtili a eod hgtv.ing ciiance m
elect the president and a majority cf the
house next year there is no chance 10
regain control of the senate before lS'.'O
or later; if not, its chance for doing
either may be considered infinitesimal.
Everybody knows the cause 01 me
Democratic defeat this week, as well as
that at last year s congressional elec
tions. It is tiecause there are not enough
Democrats to win when they are divided
into administration and anti adminis
tration Democrats. In when the
nartv was united it won a great victory.
capturing at one time the presidency and
the control of both brauehes of congress.
Barring the control of the senate that
victory can lie duplicated in lS'.'f.. pro
vided that the Cleveland Democrats and
the anti Cleveland Democrats can be
made to become just plain Democrats,
and to stop cntting each others throats.
A good start might lie made in trial di
rection by those this is no time for
crimination and lecrimiuation; mere-
fore no names need tie called who ex
cused their opposition, both open and
secret, to the regular Democratic nonr
inees in several states on the ground
that it was an off year and defeat would
have no effect upon the presidential con
test. Let them come out like men and
sav whether thev are Democrats from
principle, or only Democrats wheu they
can name the parly's nominees, and
having declared themselves let them
live op to their declarations..
In tins same connection mere is also
a duty devolving upon the men who
have manipulated the party machine.
A li tie consideration will convince them
that they are not blameless. Had they
leen less arrogant in displaying their
power to force objectionable nomina
tions, in some . instances for co better
reason than a desire to force objecting
Democrats to eat a dish of crow by vot
ing anil working for those nominees,
the party would have made a better
showing. Iet these men forget the in
jury done and endeavor to conciliate the
kicking Democrats and to get the party
unitwd once more.
Due of the principal reasons why a
unit d Democracy will stand an excel-
ent chance of winning next year is
found in the present condition of the
Republican party, which regard its win
ning next year as such a certainty that
its mem tiers have already began to fight
for the control of the spoils of victory,
and by the time they succeed in nomin
ating a presidential ticket they an; like
ly to be hopelessly split up into fighting
factions. If the Democratic party re
mains as it now is it will be in no con
dition to take advantage of such a state
f affairs. It is only a question of
whether Democrats prefer following up
personal grudges and "getting even
with Democrats against whom they are
held and losing, to suliordinating their
personal' feelings for the succe.-s of the
party and winning.
Hon. Lawrence Gardner, Secretary of
the Democratic national committee,
sneaking of the elections said: "I do
not think that our defeat means that we
have no hope for '.'. It was not
against the principles of Democracy that
the people vote, and ex Representative
Coombs, of N. Y. gave an explanation
ot ttie result in his 6tate alter saying
that he had uone to give, by adding
"But we must get together in New
York. The way the Democracy is di
vided there is astonishing.
President Cleveland and all the mcm-
liers of his cabinet are settiug a good ex
ample for other Democrats by declining
to express for publication their opinions
of the party's defeat. This is all the
more creditable to them because they
could, if so disposed, truthfully call at
tention to the fact that the most crush
ing defeats have occurred in the states
in which the campaigns were personally
managed by anti-administration Demo
cratic senators. President Cleveland, as
well as the memliers of hiscabinet, have
some decided opinions on this subject is
certain, but it is fortunate for the party
that they have the goi d judgment to
keep them to themselves at this time,
when the rank and file of the party, who
are neither responsible for nor have tak
en any part in trie bickerings, are
smarting under a defeat which ttiey be
lieve to be undeserved. It is a matter
that should only be discussed in private.

A Ileal in ll i'oal.
Philadelphia, November 10 Nego
tiations are said to. have been nearly
completed by which practically all the
s.,ft coal operators of Central and West
ern Pennsylvania and the Cumberland
region, interested in the tidewater trade,
have formed a combination for the allot
mmt of tonnage, much like that whicl
is suppt s?d to prevail in the authraciu
tiade. This important deal, which is
understood to include the railroads as
well as the producing corporations and
individual operators, has been attempted
several times before, but could never le
carried to a successful conclusion owing
to the mauy conflicting interests in
volved. Recently, however, the threats of
strikes and the demoralization of prices
have co operated to bring the bitumin
ous jieople together and the new com
bination, or pool, is the result of numer
ous conferences. The parties to the deal
are said to include the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio, Beech Creek, Hun
tingdon and Broad Top, West Virginia
Ceutral and other railroads interested in
the tidewater trade of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Yirgiuia. The Nor
folk and Western aud Chesapeake and
Ohio railroads are said to be included in
tne deal.
The oterators interested in the move
ment include practically all, lioth large
and small, whose mines lay in the coun
try tributaries to the railroads named
and whose product comes to tide. In
arranging the combination each mine
has been auo-ted a certain percentage of
tounage and central selling agencies are
to be established for each railroad sys
tern. This does not mean that the of
liees of the individual operators are to be
abolished, but that a strict watch is to
lie kept to see that the percentages al
lotted are closely adhered to. The ef
fect of the deal will be, it is expected,
that the output can be better regulated
according to the demands of the market
than has been possible hitherto, and
that prices can be better maintained
than under the present fierce competi
tion for trade.
ou Id 11' t Drink Beer.
Wichita, Kan., November 10 Wil-
iani Meyer, secretary of the Anhenser
Bush Brewing association agency in this
city, was ordered committed to jail by
Judge Tucker for contempt of court last
night. 1 he attorney general was prose
cuting a man nained Herron for a vio
lation of the prohibitory liquor law.
Herron's liquors were brought into court
under the search and seizure clause of
the law. Expert testimony was required
to prove to the jury that what seemed to
be beer was beer and hence intoxicating.
Meyer was subpa-naed as an ex-iert wit
ness, and iu his examination he stated
he knew by taste that beer was beer.
Just then the judge ordered the court
bailiff to pull a cork, which was done.
The judge presented the bottle to Meyer
and ordered him to drink it in order to
testify to the character of its contents.
Meyer refused to drink the beer and the
judge immediately issued a commi?
ment sending him to jail for contempt.
Habeas corpus proceedings were imme.
diately commenced and the papers are
now io the hands of the officers to serve
upon the jailer. Lawyers are divided
iu their opinion as to whether any judge
can exercis the authority to the extent
of compelling a witness to drink intox
icants in the interest of justice.

get hold of a bottle of stuff used for bluing
clothes. The child swallowed a large
qua'ntity of it, but, further than making
it quite sick for a while it apparently did
no harm. Within the past few days, how
ever, the child began to turn blue all over
her body. The doctor says the stuff is
ooz'iig out through its skin, and when it is
all out the child will get white again.
The steamer La Gascogne, of the
French line, arrived in Xew York on Sun
day night from Havre with 544 passengers
on board. During the voyage she encoun
tered head winds and rough seas, and on
Xovember 7 an anormous sea swept over
the starboard bow, carrying the first lieu
tenant, M. Landegren, from the bridge to
the decks below, fortunately without in
juring him. It was by the merest chance
that he was not washed overboard. The
wave which swept him away smashed the
bridge, carried away stanchions, stove in
the iron partition- beneath the bridge aud
did other damage about the decks.
