The Senatorshlps at stake in Cali
fornia and Michigan hare been
awarded without unnecessary delay
and yet In the exercise of wisdom.
These western Commonwealths are
great In their way, and now and then
produce a statesman of remarkable
stature, out ine supply does not, as
here In the East, exceed the demand,
and so the choice of a United States
Senator is with them an eay matter.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, how
ever, will do well if their choice shall
fall upon men as worthy and as able,
each in his way, as Miller and Conger,
whose election Is assured by the result
of caucuses reported yesterday and to
day. Omar D. Conger, who is to fill the
chair of Zaehary Chandler, now tem
porarily filled by Governor Baldwin,
ts a man of well-enrned national re
putation. His twelve years of service
In the House of Representative have
been marked by unflagging devotion
to the public interests, combined with
a zeal in behalf of his party which has
made him the most cruel thorn in the
side of the opposition. There is
something of Zach (.'handler's rug
gedness in his character, although he
is lacking in some of that glorious old
stalwart's good points, and notably in
tact In leadership. He has risen,
however, to leadership by fearlessness
in harassing the flanks of the enemy.
No doubt the congratulations that he
will receive from his Democratic
associates in the House will be sincere
for there is nobody whom they dread
so much in the guerilla warfare which
the minority condition of the Repub
lican party in Congress has made
necessary for the last six years.
"Whether he will be as useful on the
floor of the Senate may be questioned,
but, without doubt, his elevation to
that body was well earned. General
John F. Miller, who is to succeed Mr.
Booth of California, lias figured little
in national politics, but is known to
public men in all parts of the country
as a man whose usefulness has been
limited only by opportunity. An able
lawyer, of tine executive capacity and
skilled in business affairs, he is also
a stalwart Republican-und has an aimy
reputation of marked courage and
great mental resources. With such a
character and record he can hardly
fail to lie an acquisition to the Senate.
Another Senatorship that seems to
await only formal registration of pro
nounced public opinion is that of Con
necticut. General Joseph R. Hawley
awaits this call to come up higher, and
In him Connecticut will have a Sena
tor of the approved pattern of states
manship which was lost to that State
with the appearance of Barn urn's
money-bag as contestant for honors
worn by Buckingham and Foster.
His tardy entrance upon a heritage
long since his own by right of public
services and distinction as the favorite
son of the Land of Steady Habits will
be a cause of satisfaction all over the
land. The assured result of these
three Senatorial elections should in
spire the Legislature of PennsylTania
and.New Jersey to throw aside all
petty issues, and address Itself to the
selection of Senators who are at least
the equal of either Miller, Conger or
Hawley in ability. There is a plenty
of good Senatoral timber at hand, but
there are also many crooked sticks
begging to be picked up. The time is
ripe for the best men to come to the
front. Let them be brought forward
Robbers Arrested.
Reading, January 9. The Lancas
ter county officials yesterday succeeded
In capturing two of the five notorious
Buzzard brothers, who for years past
have been the terror of tho country
districts of eastern Pennsylvania.
Their names are Abe and Joseph
Buzzard, the remaining three being
still at large. Two of the other meai
bers of the gang, Diller. Clark and
Henry Hower, were also captured.
The Buzzard brothers are recognized
as the leading members of the notori
ous "Welsh Mountuin gang,'1 one of
the most relentless bauds of plunder
ers ever known in the State. All five
of the Buzzard brothers live in small
cabins in the mountain fastnesses and
their comrades live in tho forests ad
jacent. Thegang number some thirty
and they operate between Reading,
Lancaster and Philadelphia, running
off cattle, stealing horses, robbing rail
road' stations, freight depots and farm
bouses. Their boldness this winter
bas become alarming. Horses have
been stolen to transport plunder, and,
after having been driven all night,
abandoned, more dead t linn alive, at
daylight. School houses and churches
have not been spared, and cross roads
stores have been rifled of their con
tents. A month ago ten of the baud
were captured. Seven were sent to
the eastern penitentiary and the re
mainder were acquitted. The arrests
yesterday were regarded as very im
portant, and it is believed that the
deathblow to this robbing gang is to
be dealt very soon. One of the Buzzards
who at one time was reported to be
the leader of the band, Is now reported
ts be aiding the detectives. The pris
oners takeu were sent to the Lancas
tor Jail.
