there could be none. But, less than a
score of Southern Brigadiers who meas
urably control the Solid South, demand
ed that it should not pass, or if it did.
that the Ircidcnt shiml 1 veto it. There
was where jurty politic were injei-ted.
there where jorty exigency arose. If the
bill passed and w vetoed, it politic-ally
damned the lYesioent in the North. It
it wag passed and was permitted to lie
come a law, the Solid South was Ist,and
with it was lost the Lojieof Mr. Cleve
land i re-el-tion. So the rty lash was
applied, the caucus thumb-screws were
put on, the ignoniinions surrender was
made and the country is given still fur
ther proof that the Southern Brigadier
are again in the saddle. But this is not
all the political fates have in store for the
Northern States. The fate of this bill
marks the way a9 truly as a surveyor
blazes his line through a forest, to a sim
ilar surrender on the graver question of
protection to our home industries'. Ran
dall and his followers have lecn counted
on to stand with the Republican minor
ity in defense of Protection, hut he and
they all, save Swden, of this State, are
the men who abandoned their couvic
t ions and the interest of their constitu
ents at theilemand for party unity. Well
says the old legal maxim, Tale in one
thing, false in all." Beyond all perad
venture the tariff w ill be betrayed in the
house of its pretended friends, as was
this bill Behold Randall! kicked and
bufl'ctted by the minions of the Admin
istration, its every tixil and pap-sucker
taking a shy at him ; trampled on with
both Presidential feet, derided, denounc
ed, scoffed at and mocked, at every turn,
craw ling on his belly to the fi-et of his
enemies and accepting their dictation for
the sake of preserving the unity und
harmony of the party that has spat upon
him. A vaunt, Randall! thy star hath
fallen, and all confidence in thy profes
sions have vanished.
The poor, pitiful pretext put forth to
ease down the Tsis- surrender on the re
funding bill, is the merest rot. Well
know its Ix-liayers that its stiH.iiement
until the next session is a mere reprieve
from certain death, when, the election
Is-ing over, it is sure of lieing vetoed.
Had its pretended friends sb-od true,
they had strength enough, as w as show n
bv repeated votes, to have pasued it over :
the President's head. It was done to j
death at the dictate of the President,
and it will never Ixi-onie a law so long as
i rover Cleveland is Chief l'xcciitive,
unless the jieojilc do. as we fee! assured
they will, elei-t a Congress this fall so
overwhelmingly Republican that it can
defv, and override a Presidential veto.

Roscca Conkling's Twrrlbl Struggle
with Death.
But for a surgical oera!ioM. in w hich gd
lurk and great skill were joined in his be
half, Kosooc Cockling would be dead
man.
The cause of Sir. Conkling's tllneas M
luppnscd to date from the bilzzanl. On that
now celebrated Monday evening, March 12,
he started to walk home, as wa bis wont,
from bis office in Wall alreet to his uoma in
the Huffman House. It was shortly after 0
o'clock, and the snow in some place was
six feet and more deep. He had a terribly
trying experience sticking in snow drifts
nearly breast dorp. He sai! : For nearly 20
minutes I was stuck there, and I came as
near giving right np and sinking down there
lo die . a man roulJ. Somehow I got out
anil made my way along. When I readied
the Sew York Club nt twAity-fifih street I
was covered all over with ice and cked
jnow, and they would snivel believe tliat
I bad walked from Wall street. It took
three hours to make the journey."
Mr. Conkling transacted business as usual
fur some days after this, appearing, notably,
in the Stew-art wil! case for two or three days
until the case was adjourned over U May.
H was noticed then that he had a somewhat
preoccupied air, and although his attention
w as centered on the case, he leaned his head
on his band and repeated questions put to
him as though he bad not heard tbeni dis
tinctly. -Jle complained, too, of a pain in
his head and ear. He undoubtedly caught a
severe chill in his walk home on March 12,
but he was able to get out the next day, and,
a is often the case robust constitutions, the
cold grew worse, without his paying any
attentoin to it at firt. When the pains in
bis head and ear. however became unbear
able. Dr. Cornelius Aenew wss summoned
to attend hitu. 'Ihiswason Friday, March
3u.
Dr. Agnew said Mr. Conkling was suf-
fering from and abscess in the ear. Tae
pain increased until meningitis was develop
ed, and by Thursday of last week Mr. Couk
ling wa delirious. Inflamatiou of the brain
was feared.
It was agreed that the threatened inflama
tiou resulted froru the presence of a a quant
ity of pus back of the ear, and if this pus
were not .removed, worse in (Tarnation and
death would inevitably ensue. The removal
of the pus involved cutting through the
skull and draining the matter away, an oper
ation whose attendant dangers were greatly
enchanccd by the probability of hemorrhage.
Dr. Sjnds was M-lected to jierform the opera
tion. Dr. Sands turned Senator Conkling's
head over on the right side and cut a lateral
incision in the scalp two inches behind the
left ear. The incision was about three inches
long. The scalp parted, and the assistant
surgeons drii-d the slight hemorrhage that
eiiued, ami stssl by, ready to stop the
sssib!e hemorrhage from the lateral cnt. j
The skull lay exposal. Deftly and "quickly
Dr. Sands ran the edge of a Iiltle steel chisel
under the sqiiainiis jnirtion of temporal
bone the scale-like plate of the temporal
back of the ear. Dr. Sands gave three or
four smart raj-s w ith a mallet upon his
chisel, and raised the lne plate. As he did
so the pus gushed out. The diagnosis of
Dr. Baker was confirmed. A xcket of pns
formed back of the car and was pressing
uhiii the brain. Dr. Sands bad the plate
raised for a little w hile and let as much pus
out as would flow. About an ounce came
out. Then Dr. Sands let the plate back.
The heroic operation performed on bis
ski'li the doctors say, prevented his dying
but it did not rera.ive the scute pain in the
distinguished invalid's head. Most of the
time during the night and far into the day
Mr. Conkling pacsd bis room in the greatest
apmy. lie did not recognize those auout
him. and seldom uttered a word to indicate
bow great was his suflerine. His w ife was
w ith him a great part of the time, but be
was unable to recognize her. His periods of
clear consciousness were infiequent and
brief. There was a constant procession of
I callers to inquire how be w as, but tiot more
j than lliree or four ktsoiis were admitted to
his presence. Those w ho did see him dc
j scribed his appearance as pitiful ill the ex-
trenie. The sK-ctac!e they saw was that 0f
I man of magnificent physique fighting grin(ly
j and heroically excruciating pain that seem
' eil to be gradually driving him crazy.
When the doctor arrived, Mr. Conkling
I recognized him and said : " Doctor.can't you
do anything to stop this bothering me "
i. ici I- .
f ny, certainty, repneo (lie uunur,
' take this medicine." Mr. Conkling took
it reaililv from the dorlor'a hand, mid then
j, , ou, . , m verv bu,v
! then administered some pihs, which speedily
j produ -ed sleep.
! Col. Frederick A. Conkling. the disting
! uished atic:it's brother, was one of the
1 most melancholy men seen about the hotel.
: Col. Conkling contirnn the n--Mrt that the
j Si-nalor sdclirium, which continues to altern-
ate with tits of stupor and insensibility, takes
j the form of an exaggerates! desire to return
! to fancied duties of great inqiortance.
j " I must get to work to work to work,"
the sick lawyer m ans or cries, as his rnood
is d -;MiiJet)t or frensied. Meantime, he
walks the 3 Kir, bis eyes tjishing with the
unnatural lire that ia burning up his tissue.
Sr. Yomi, April bi.-Mr. Conkling pass
ed a bud niiit, bis rest being disturbed by a
severe eiiugh, whu.l seemed to exhaust the
sulli-rer. Dr. Darker called St l'i o'clock

1'p to l o'clock his diMors could n-p irt no
inq-roveuient and tlitf best they could say
was that be was no worse. Una attendant
slated that he was too weak to have either
administered during the night and another
that he was in a stupor at o'clock this
evening, but the doctors denied both these
stories.
I MF.i.viu r. has xn noi-s.
i
j Mr. Melville, bis partner, said that Mr.
' Conkling recognized bis wife for a moment
i Saturday afternoon since then he bad re-
oignized no one. His cough was distressing
j to listen to. He was losing strength all the
j time and tossed his hands around. Mr.
; Melville had no hope of his partner's recov
i cry.
. At C,a a triend of Mr. Conkling, who has
; had constant aci-ess to the sick room, tele
j graphed to Senator Jones, of Nevada :
; "Chances are diminishing. Tliere is little
j hope.'
! SO WORsE. SIT KO SETTEE.
At A r. k, Dr. Itarker called and, on
leaving said that Mr. Conkling was a shade
belter and bad asked for a mint julep, and
drank it with relish. Two poners were sent
to his room lo hold him down in case he
should become violent, although, as Dr.
Barker saij, there were no indications of
such a nature.
Edward Stokes said at A.W r. it. : " Mr.
Conkling is failing rapidly. There is no
chance of recovery. I don't think the end
is for iuii. '
Judge I'oxe came frouj tbe iiouse at f 1:30
r. H , ami said Mr. Cockling was then awake
and omghlng badly.
Siw, Yobk, April 10. li isj-oe Conkling
passril a pssl nij;ht last night and took 21
ounces of n-mrishmt-nt before noon to-day.
His mind was clearer and his doctors regard

Jieuj a dr,vi as a sign of gres,ex sensi
likemni. F.Jwsrd Kokes iiid after his ftoruiug
visit tliat lie (. It more cucourogod Uiu id
any time since Mr. Conkling was taken sick.
Col. Fred I'ratit called and had a long talk
with Mrs. Conkling, w ho is saucb exhausted
with watching.
At 2 .' Dr. Barker said that Mr. Conkling
hsd one chance in three of recovery. He
called agaiu at 9 o'clock and ssid that his
latient was greatly improved and that his
chances of recovery were increased. Tlie
fact tliat he no longer talks in his delirium
isa iiMxl sign. He has slept considerable
during llie day ami at o'clock was half
dozing and did not toss about as he Had
done. Judge Shipman, Alderman Conkling
and Mr. Melville all expressed the opinion
that Mr. Conkling was belter than at any
time since be was taken sick.
Dr. Barker said to-night: " I will not say
the critical point has been passed, but his
cl uinces have increased. The coughing has
ceased, and the sub-saltus is gone. If lie
tests as quietly to-nihr as ie did Sunday
night. I shall hare brighter hopes than
ever before."
Matthew Arnold Dead.
Loxdox, April 16. Matthew Arnold, the
distinguished writer, is dead. While walk
ing with bis sister yesterday in Liverpool,
w here he had come to meet bis daughter, he
suddenly fell on bis lace and instantly ex
pired. His death was caused by disease of
the heart. The news of his sudden death
sent a shock through England. It was ut
terly unexpected. Mr. Arnold had enjoyed
the best of health since his return from the
I'nited States. On Saturday he was unusu
ally cheerful over the expected arrival of bis
daughter, who was returning from America
on tbesleamer Amania. Iuring his journey
to Liverpool and on Sunday morning he ap
icared perfectly well. Accompanid by his
sister be was going toward Landing Stogc.
when, without any preliminary symptom or
warning, the fatal stroke "came. The sud
den fail to the pavement terrified his sister,
who called for help. Those who first arrived
lilted his prostrate form, when it was found
tliat life had fled.
Matthew Arnold, the eldest son of the late
Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, was born on Dec, 24,
1-122, and educated at Winchester and Rugby.
He distinguished himself at Oxford and iu
IS54 was elected a fellow of Oriel college.
In 1H,1 be was ap-Kiiited an inspector of
schools and in 1 tv7 was elected professor of
poetry at Oxford. Twice he was commis
sioned by the goverment to inquire into the
! state of schools in Fnnce, H illaud ana (jer-
many. In ISi'i he lectured in America, and
again last year he visited this country. Some
of bis best known works are in verse, though
he has of late years devoted himself to prose.
He is probably best known here as the
author of the eulogy of Buddha, an exposi
tion of the faith, called - The Light of Asia."
His latest production, America and the
Americans," has drawn Uon him a grjat
deal of censure from this side of the water.
His style was graceful and his imagination
exquisitely pure.
No Chance for the Soldiers.
Wakhisutoji, April 10. The Democratic
Washington W, in commenting on tl.e
amendments to the dependent pension bill,
agreed to by the House committee yesteniay,
closes with the remark that "the dcciident
pension bill is dead so far as this Congress is
concerned." It has lieen believed all along
that the Democrats did not intend to allow
any pension bills except private and individ-
ual ones to become laws this session and the
existence of that belief was mentioned in a
dispatch to the l'ren at the time the de)end
eilt pension bill was Kissed by the Senate,
but it was hardly expected that the Demo
crats would publicly announce their inten
tion to dcleat it.
President Cleveland must be spared the
necessity of passing iqioii any general pen
sion bills before tlie election. It is true that
the failure of the House to jiass this bill
which has been pnqiared by theOrand Army

Wayne county for the marriage of William
Brown, of Cleveland, aged forty, and Mrs.
Robertson, of this city. About two weeks

clerk received a circular from the authorities
at Pontiac, Michigan, warning him to look
out lor a J. W. Brown, who was roaming
around seeking whom he might marry. He
did not appear until March 2t, by which
time the wanting had been forgotten. The

OEPEW NOT IN THE RACE-
HE SAYS KM PU -VTIC. LL T THAT HE IS HOT A CAJt
- pmATC roBTUE rSESIOEXCT.
New Yoek. Al 13. Chamicey M. De
pew conversed in his breesty way yesterday
about tlie nimoT that be intended to carry
the New York delegation to Chicago and
torn it over to Mr. Blaine at the proper time.
'"I hare already reiterated the fact that I
am not a candidate tir the Presidency," he
said, "and now I wish to state distinctly
that I am not a stalking horse for Mr.
Blaine I am making no effort to capture
delegates, and hare not interested myself at
all in the selection of a single delegate.
There is no foundation whatever for such a
report. It is true that I am Mr. Blaine's
frien.L I have admired and advocated him
for the Presidency for the past t we! ve years,
lie is a very strong man, and that strength
is not confined solely to the Republican
party."
"Do yon think he will be nominated?"
"If tlie State conventions are as wild with
enthusiasm for Mr. Blaine as those recently
held in Vermont and Connecticut it looks as
if the Chicago convention will nominate
him. These conventions are strong indica
tions of the drift of public sentiment. Mr.
Blaine is as strong as he was in IS I, and
would carry a large Independent vote. He
lost the Presidency by BurcharJ's sjieech.
I know of two clubs with a membership of
WO that had "Blaine badges and intended to
vote for him until Burchard's nnfortunate
utterance. I think Ihe vote he lost by that
three R's speech would be for him now if he
were nominated."
"Will Mr. Blaine accept a nomination?"
"That depends more upon the way his
nomination is made. lr it comes unani
mously and spontaneously, without any
manipulation, I presume he would accept.
But if there is anything like a contest I do
not 8tipiose he would consent to run. We
have a good list of Republican candidates in
the field. Senators Sherman, Allison and
Ben Harrison, besides others.
"Now Sherman would make a fine Presi
dent. He is able and ex-erienced. I think
he could carry the strenght of the Republi
can party. It is natural that a man who
has been in public life as long as be has
should have antagonisms, but they are con
fined to sections, and would not a fleet the
general result. Allison would certainly be a
splendid man to head the ticket, and Gen
eral Ben Harrison emmiiiently belongs to
the brilliant array of candidates."
'"Can the Republicans carry New York ?''
"Sew York is splendid fighting ground.
We have 153 solid votes from the South to
' confront us at the start, and only forty-eight
more arc necessary to put the Democrats in
power again. New York and Indiana would
elect a llemocratic President. We have this
outlook to 'contemplate, and must work ac
cordingly. Every erlbrt should be made to
carry Sew York. We must not exect any
thing from the Mugwumps, for they have
gone over to the Democrats; csiiccially those
who believe in free trade. . The Civil Service
Mugwumjis have at last been disillusioned,
and know now that civil service, as admin
istered by this llemocratic administration, is
a fraud. But I believe they would vote for
President Cleveland against any Republican
candidate. We must fight for Sew York."
The Big Temperance Temple.
Ciiicauo, April 12. "Mrs. Matilda B.
Carse says so, and what Mrs. Carse says is
so." The abovc words were sjioken by Miss
Willard Cox at the headquarters of the Cen
tral Woman's Christian Temperance Cnion,
on La Salle street this morning. Miss Cox
is Ihe private secretary of Mrs. Carse, the
president of the union, and she was tellin
of her chiefs visit in the east for the purjsise
of securing a portion of the necessary $x KJ,
000 required for the erection of a National
Temperance Temple in Chicago. This pro
ject is now engrossing all the energy and at
tention of the leaders in the Woman's Na
tional Association of Temperance Workers.
It is desired to secure the siace on Dearlxirn
street, between Jackson and Quincy, which
lies just opi?ite the ostoftiee, as a site for
the building. A ierii(aiient lease of the
grounds can be obtained by paying $35,000
per year rental,
The plans for the building have already
been completed. It Is to be 12 stories high,
with a tower at the northwest corner, sur
mounted by a bronze figure of tbe Sistiue
madonna. Tbe first floor is to be left for a
large auditorium caahle of seating 2,000
people, known as Willard Hall, named after
Francis E. Willard. It is promised to lay
t he comer stone one year from May 1. By
that time Mrs. Carse exects to have the
$."s)0,Iiiio in stock subscribed, which is
necessary before the foundation can be laid.
About $250,000 of the stock has already been
secured in suliscriptions, that are as good as
cash. The names of a numlier of Chicago
capitalists are on their books.
Cost of the Creat Strike.
Chicaoo, April 12. A local paper in a cal

just forty-five days, makes the following re
capitulation of the losses sustained to date
by Ihe Engineers' and Firemen's Brother
hoods and the striking switchmen :
Loss of wages on "J" Itoad, $.T0n.1 55 ;
pay roll of IJrutheriHiod, fl.VI.45t) ; Qrievanee

strikes, i2t.7O0 ; cost of switchmen's strike,
$25,0(10 ; miscellaiieous.$lO,iXU. Total, $0 II
5S0. 01 the loss to the Burlington is the follow

of engaging new men, $50,000; damage to
property, $'J,OJ0; miscellaneous, $J0,OJU.
Total, $2,17.1,010.
These are all direct haws, affW-ting one or
the. other uf the combatants in the great
strike. There are indirect losses to the com
mercial community scattered through the
whole ramification of the "J" system In sev
eral states. Besides these, the article suys,
hundreds of minor employees have been
thrown out of work, and the indirect losses
already affect a great number of humble

The Next Chief Justice.
Toledo, April 12. A daily paper to-day
says: " tetters received here by an intimate
friend of both President Cleveland and the
late Chief Justice Waite, indicate that the
next Chief Justice of Ihe United Slates will
be John M. Tmnkey, present Supreme Judge
of Pennsylvania. Karnes cannot be divulged
at present, but there is little doubt that the
President is contemplating the appointment.
Judge Trunkey is popular with both Repub
licans and Democrats, and his nomination
would be hailed by the people of Pennsylva
nia with delight, and the Senate ran hardly
refuse to confirm so popular an apointment
Judge Tmnkey was elected to the Supreme
Bench in 187. and has filled tlie position
with honor and credit."

in the world, died yotenlay from old age.

these aged 21 years, 'and the mother, were
driven together as a team. This remarkable
pony was what is called an ' Indian Pony,"
and was foaled in 1837 in Kosciusko county,
this State, making her age at the time of her
death M years. For the past four years it
has been necessary to fred her on soft feed
snd gmel. She has never known a day of
sickness in her life and could easily he
driven from Chili to this city, a distance of
nine milts, in one hour.
Some time in last December she was turn
ed out with a number of other horses, and
while playing was kicked by one of them,
and as a co'iscipienec she has not been driven
any since.
She was all through the late war and
escaped without an injury so far as known.

memory in a sluirt time.

favoring a froe ballot and the right to have
it counted. It protested against Chinese
immigration, denounced Cleveland's action
iu the return of the rebel battle flags, his

reducing the revenues on such articles of
general use as cannot lie manufactured by
our own people. It also deprecates the at
