THE REPUBLICAN LEADEK.
That the notorious llobesou is Under
of tho Republican aide of tho Hntue of
Representatives ia no longer questioned.
Twice rebuked by emphatic voters bla
impudence baa carried blmaloog and en
sblcd biia to get the better of these de
feats. As Chairman of the caucus wMch
dictates the party policy bo makes and
nnmnkes at bis own sweet will. The
nnnsntlty who occupies the Speaker's
ehnlr is bat bis creature and be Ttrtnally
controls the appointment of all confer
ence meetings. Outside of the House bla
power is rcoogntzed by schemes of every
dogTee. They know that without Kobe
aon's aid their maguifloently corrupt jobs
' would go for naught; bat th it with bis
syniyathle fully onlUted and liU hearty
co.oper.ition they stand mere than an
even chance to win.

ford to Ignore him. His control of ap
propriations of public money Is au iuflu-
uce potent enough to break down bar
rier which to a less influential paraon
than Robeson would bo Insurmountable.
Trne to bis instincts and faithful to his
old time ally, Itobcson is behind the job
to grant two and a half million dollars
fur the so-called repairs of worthless raon.
itors at Cheater, Pa., Philadelphia and
Wilmington, Del., upou which vast sues
have already been eqnaudired by Con
gress and gone into the pockets of Kings.
In this of course be has the approval of
that disinterested patriot John Jioncb,
who with slgual devotion to the wants of
the nation recently invited the Naval
Committee of the House and a number of
gliba lobbyists to visit these throe points
to make a personal inspection. The real
object of Mr. Roach was to lay the fnun
datton for a gigtutio job in these worth
less monitors, which are nothing more
than so much scrap iron.
Mr. Robeson may succeed in hi
schemes for plundering the Treasnry by
means of job, for there are rotten Dem
cerate as well as venal Republicans mix
d up in the proposed nVal, bnt iu furlh.
erenco of the scheme they will be com-
" pelted to show their lianas and every
man or them Mill be marked.
,, "'-.fc STATE POLITICS.
Witbiu'the coming three monthR three
important State Conventions ill be held
at tho Slate Capital, to-wit: Cameron
Stalwart Republicans, May 8; Wolfe In
dependents, May 21, and Democrats,
June 28, and much speculation is rife iir
to the probable result of encb. The pro
gramme of the Cameron Convention is to
uomiuate Gen. James A. Beaver for Gov
ernor; Senator William T. Davits, the
leader in the Senate of tho Wolle Inde
pendents, for Lieutenant-Governor; Sen
ator J. M. Grier for Secretary of Intern,
al Affairs, and Win. Henry lUwle for As.
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court
Aud it is possible, that the programme
may be carried out; but the fact that Gas
Trustee James MoManes and Common
Councilman William El wood Rowan, of
Philadelphia bave determined to violent
antagonize the nomination of Mr. Rawle,
mainly for the reason that he connot be
coaxed, hired or driven to do the dirty
work of the Philadelphia boss politicians,
will make his selection more than doubt
ful. The one thing certain is that the
defeat of Mr. Rawle will be swiftly fol
lowed by some astouudinu results to more
than one Philadelphia political leader.
The Wolfe Independents are likely to
move with more than ordinary caution
If the Stalwarts nnmluute Raulu lor Jus.
tioo of the Supreme Court and McClure
for Congress, the Independents will en.
dorse both nominations, while if Beaver,
Davies, and Grier are, made the nominees
of the regulars, it is quite probable that
the only nomination the Wolfe Couven
tion will make for the present v. ill be that
ol Hampton L. Canon, of Philadelphia
for Lieutenant-Governor. Alter tormn
latinga platform they will probably ad
journ to await the action of che Dvtno
cratio Convention. It is reasonable to
assert that two things the Democratic
Convention will do, that will commend
its action to popnl.tr favor, viz: utterly
reject any importunate candidate of u
fiction for Governor, aud nominate a
candidate who can and will, secure the
entire strength of the party at the next
election.
The passage ot tne Chinese Eiclu
slon bill is causing some discussion in
shipping circles as to what is to become
of the steamship lints now rntinlHg be
tween Sin Francisco and Cblua-thr Oc
cidental and Oriental and the IVcifio
Mall lines. These two companiot Li ve
five steamers ou the line, and they re.
ceive from UUtueso passengers some
$900,000 per annual. U .less they are
subsidized they must withdraw, as the
freight alono oanuot support them. And,
what is more, tba lreight from . Hong
Kong must fall off quite one-half when
Mr. "John" in driven out of the country,
as moat ot bin food comes from Hong

PresliUnt Arthur yesterday attached
his signature to th anti-polygamy bill,
which had passed both houses of Con
gress, and it is now a law. The bill pro
vides among other things that any man
who married more than one wife in any
Territory of the TJnit.d States shall be
punished by a fine of not more than (500
and by imprisonment of not less than
five years; declares that any male person
living in that relation with more than
one woman in any Territory is guilty of
a misdemeanor, and shall be punished
either by fine or imprisoment; prohibits
polygamlsts from voting or doing jury
servlce,and from filling any plea of pub.
lis trust. The opponents of Mormon,
ism are confident that the vigorous en
fnrcement of the act will set the seal of
fate on this institution. It is claimed by
the advocates of the bill that Utah Ter
ritory will soon be settled by Gentiles
enough to o institute a majority of the
population, and that the political dis
nbilitita impos- d upon the professor of
Morraonlstu will dtttr others from join
iug, and thus prevout its spreading any
further,
Enough has occurred during the prei
eut week to indicate clearly to the conn
try the character of the Forty-seventh
Congress and the tcopo of national legit.
lation. The majority party lias lormally
annouucod that it will oppose the raduc
tion of internal tuxes ou tobacco and
whisky, the two principal sources ot
r-venne. It is quite immaterial what
stand is taken with r gard to bauk checks,
matches, proprietory articles, etc., as al
together the revenue derived therefrom
amounts to but about $11,000 000. The
tax upon all these is more cf an annoy
atice than anything die. The Commis
alouer ol Internal Revenue recommended
the abolition of this tax two years ago,
aud the reasons given apply with great
lorce now. It may be considered certain
that this annoyance will be swept away,
The Senate has added a couple of mil
lions on the post office appropriation bill,
reported laterality on a grand oeeaii
steamship subsidy hcheme, ottered to
guarantee $50,000 000 to Captain Ends,
restored thefruukiug privilege, projected
an exteuidve steel-clad navy aud raised
certain class, s ot pensions. There is no
leceptiou about this. It' there was any
doubt as to the reckless character of tbi
Congress, it should be silenced in the 40
to 15 vote ou the restoiatiou of the frank
ing privilege. It carries us back to th
bale-iyn days of the Credit Mnbilier peri
od v-heu the public revenues ere divid
ed up between sherry and champagne,
It la understood that it cos, something
over $8,000 to carry the Cungresuoun
immrntn Iroui WushiUKtou to Clevelam
and back, on th occasion of tba Garfield
funeral. This is aboal $130 apiece. Con
sidering that the railway company fnru
ished trnpnr!ation tree, the sum named
must be supposed to represent what it
cost to furnish food, beverages, carriage
hire aud other light refreshments suitabl
for a season of mourning. It seems like
a liberal allowance, to say ixi leatt, and
ought to covtr a good many nice extras.
Advocates of the franking privilege
say that "the postal service is intended
for the public," and that therefore "there
is neither sense nor re-uson in compelling
members of Congress to pay postage on
thousands of letters to their constituents
in answer to inquiries," The answer to
this is that it is as much the business of
a member of Congress to answer the in
quiries of his constituents as it is that of
a merchant to send out circulars and
answer the letters of his correspondents.
It is all iu the line of business, and if one
has the right to solid his mail matter free
the other is equally entitled to the priv
ilege, Tba talk about one being a pub
lic and the other a private interest
is all bosh. Running for Congress is
a business occupation as much as prno
ticing law, carrying on a store, or run
ning a factory, and should be put upon
precisely the same footing as those pur
suits. Ex-Senator Chaffee appeared on the
floor of tba Senate this afternoon, and it
was observed that be was engaged in
earnest conversation, for some time, with
Senator L"gan and Senator Teller, and
it was supposed they were discussing the
subject or Teller'a appointment It was
apparently believed ut th? Capital to-day,
that the appointment of Mr. TelLr only
awaits information from Guvt ruor Pitkin,
aud that if he agrees to appoint Mr.
Chaffee to succeed Teller, the latter will
be nomluated f or the Secretaryship of the
Interior. Acansi,

Some uuseeudy bit of scandal have
been going rouud and are still coming
out concerning Ibe expenses of President
Gaifield's sickness nnit tho funeral obse
quies. Many 1 1 the statements made are
doubtless more or less exaggerated, but
there is truth enough to make some peo
ple ashumed of tbrmelves. This is par
liculnrly Ibe case rtl itive to tbe exper.sea
ol the luueral train from Washington to
Clt velaud. Besides au item of $1,200 for
while glovts there is one ot $1,700 for
ebaw ague, brandy and cigars and one
one ol $300 lor "ci.cktaiN," while the
whole cost til the Congressional purty of
in- un.era loots up u modest little bill of
$7,000. It has bevu deultd tbnl tbe items
referred to were iu tbe bills rendered,
but Irom the beat information that can
be obtained tbe statement appears to be
true. Congrcssuiau Page, ol California,
who was di legated by ibe Committee of
I Liu Jiouso to audit the ascouuta, says

think it proper to have a scandal over
such a matter Opinions may differ as
to Mr. Page's right to lake this course.
but opinions will concur that It was the
worst possible course to take to prevent
a scaudal. It is remembered hera that
the press was Very carefully excluded
from tha funeral train. Even the report
ers tor tbe Associated Preso were relaxed
leave to accompany the Congressional
mourners, which la uu nnnanal thing.
Both bouses of Congress barn been
squinting all wintir at tbe restoration of
tl.u franking privilege but, like all prev
ious Congresses inca tbe privilege was
abolhhed, they lacked tbe courage to do
it openly and directly. At last, however,
a way has been found to prrctieally no-

use of th (Secretary of the Senate aud
Clerk of the House, as well as members
of cither body. This does not ootitun-
date sending private correspondence free
but is intended to cover all matter per
taining to publio business. Many ob
jections bave been raised to this plan,
chiefly by those who desired to bave the
old franking privilege absolutely restored
but it has finally been agreed to iu the
Senate as the best attainable method. and
will doubtless pass the House. There
ought to be no objection to the free pas
sage of matter actually relating to public
basiuess, bnt it was the wholesale abuse
of tbe franking privilege that made it in
tolerable. Whether tbe new plan will
escape these abuses remains to be seen.
The tendency of Congress, especially of
the SeLate to vote its members privileges
or donations of money, increases con
stautly and was illustrated recently by
the passage of a resolution giving Mr.
Kellogg, of Louisiana $9,550, nnd Mr.
Duller, of Sonlh Carolina, $3,E00, for ex
penses incurred in maintaining their
rights to the seats they bold. There is
no precedent for this action. Contest
ants have generally been paid their ex.
penses, bnt sitting members havo not.
Mr. Butler is a Democrat, and Mr, Kel
logg is a Republican, which explains why
the two resolutions were matte depend
ent on each other.
Tbe annual seed campaign baa been
conducted with unusual vigor this year,
and many Congressmen thluk they bave

summer by tbe judicious distribution of

Intended, is a very cheap way of securing
Yotes. When the agricultural appropruv

the Commissioner of Agriculture to di

This proposition brought to his feet an

A very general idea is that a tendency
to ocrtnin diseases is Indicated by cettaln
types of faocs, as is shown by the fre

consumption or other disease, although
It may perhaps be shown that Ibe rflVcta

influenced by snub.
