T. Sores, to whom it bel-n ought to be a source of satisfaction to every honest New Yorker. The result is all the more satis factory because it as accomplished in the face of the violent opposition of Pavjd B- Hill, who fought with all his power to keep the Democrat, Rockwell, in the seat to which be was not elected. RwRESESTATivK Oatss, of Alabama, Las introduced, by request, bill which discounts the Alliance sub-treasury scheme. It provides for the issuing of Jl,('n.j,0u0 to each of the Congressional districts of the country, for the purpose of enlarging the National banking sys tem. The Democratic party polled 30.93 per cent of the toUl vote in New York at the last election, and theleuiocratic Legisla ture thinks this entitles them to twenty three of the thirty -four Congressmen to be elected from that State next fall. This is not a gerrymander. It is anoth er attempt to steal the S-tate. Tnk; Democratic Congress which ob jected to buying soap for th West Point cadets, has appropriated $20,000 for ex tra committee clerks who have nothing to do but swell the patronage of the Tammany doorkeeper. The Democratic parry always has been opposed to soap except when it could be ased to grease the wheels of corrupt legislation. Tiik Republican convention of New York will be held at Albany April 28th, to select four delegates at large to the National convention. There is a move ment on foot to again name the " big four "of 1-ssS Piatt, Miller, Depew and Hiscock. There are other Republicans who would as well represent New York, but these four men together represent every shade of Republican sentiment in the State, and when they pull together as they did in 1SSS, they make a very strong team. Few States can boast a big four which have so many resources and know Low to " play politics " better than these men who will represent New York. Thb platform adopted by Iowa Reput licans at their convention on Thursday is full of common sense, Republicanism patriotism and enthusiastic determina tion to recover this fall the ground lost there in State elections. A state that has given Republican majorities in Pres idential yers cf 60,000 and 78,000, and which gave to General Harrison nearly 32,000 majority in 1SSS, is not a doubtful State in the coming national contest. The strong words in which t.h.jvaln winiatration have all the more weight in the absence of anv instructions to the LT;4cgaita wo tue National Convention. Reed on Hill. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. Never was happier answer made to one of those glittering generalities that small men, who k to pose as states men, deal in so liberally, than by Mr. Reed to Mr. D. B. Hill's repetition of the stale assertion that though other parties hare nourished and decayed "the Demo cratic party is for ever and ever." All things that are noble and useful change into higher forms of nobility and usefulness. But "the poor ye have al ways with you," it is a pity that we have, but we have them. Ignorance never changes, nor does dirt, it is the same to day that it was when Cicero thundered in the senate, and when not one Roman in a hundred could understand his ma jestic language, the same as when Corn mod us fed his horse with gold-covered oats out of a nianger of alabaster, while his subjects ate black crusts and slept on lousy skins. All things change, ex cept the worst of things. Mr. Reed, however, wisely avoided the indignant tone in his reply to Mr. Hill. There are people upon w hom indigna tion is wasted ; they are so constituted that it does not hurt them ; they can not even understand what it means. But people of this kid are peculiarly sensitive to ridicule. So Mr. Reed spoke sarcastically. "Th ere never was a time," he truthfully reminded his hearers, when the Democratic party was not shouting : For Gods sake, let us get back to yes terday.' We would like to go back ifi'M years, but we can't do that we know we cant ; but let us repeal sonietnins ; let us undo something that it has taken years of toil to do ; let us make the world a little less civilized than it was." This is sarcasm. But it is truthful sar casm. Uan any one, any ituwcni, name one new thing that the Democratic party has promised to do since ISfiO ? From IS'W to lS'ij it contented itself with predicting failure to the Lnion cause, and to placing obstructions in its way. From 103 to 1SS0 it sought to gain power by promising to repeal all the reconstruction acts. By 1SS0 it -had learned that the benefits flowing from these acts were so many and so great that the people m ould not permit one of them to be repealed. In 1SS4 it began to promise to repeal all protective tariffs. And in 1SD2 it is hesitating between a promise to repeal the tariff laws and a promise to destroy the value of the cur rency. But to-day it has not a single promise of progress in any direction to offer. It points out nothing that needs doing, and makes no promise to do it. It is to-day as yesterday "the same" par ty of repeal, of retrogression, of retard ment. Officer After Him.

Isaac Lohr, a prominent young stork dealer of this place, sold one of his two re maining boms last week. He is always ready to sell or trade and it is said that he bu owned l." different horses since last CdL Many of my reader will remember the beautiful chestnut grove at this place. In the summer of ISM the boys erected a tab ernacle under Its spreading branches in which a number of entertainment were gives by the lads and lasses of this place, assi-ied by the comet band. Persons who bavt witnessed the performances of various theatrical troupes agree lu saying that the performances given in this tabernacle were as good aa any of them. This greve was also a resort for pic-nie parties and several of the largest political meetings eiei held in the county were held in it. Vany kindly remembrances are no doubt cherished by those who have admired the txauties of this grove, and have been pleas auly entertained beneath its sighing branch es, and for that reason It paint me to state that its present owner has cut down during the put winter a large number of the most stably trees and hid them sawed into shin gles lor a barn he proposes building.

The probabilities are, however, that tbey could tell the reason why soue of their number already own their own homes, whilst others have the means to buld them. Perhaps, our well organized bacielor's club has something to do with it. Twi memoes of the club, brothers, have beet doing tleir own house work for years.

Th New York Democrats also have a gerrymander which allows 171,000 pec ple in Ieinocratic districts to ilect a Congressman, but requires 50(1,000 in Re publican districts. Democratic organs that have been lifting up their voices again the Ohio bill that was defeated look upon this as a fair, apportionment The New York bill gives the majority of the Congressional districts to the cities of New York and Brooklyn, and will en able the Democrats to control 23 of the , J4 districts. The Mugwumps of New York, however, can see nothing wrong about the bill because they are not near sighted. They cannot see corruption at heme except when it strikes them in their attempt to control s Ieniocratic convention. Then and Now. Coxgressmax Rat, of New York, came down on the free traders of the House the other day, in sledge-hammer style, when he said in reply to a free trader who had just preceded him on Ihe floor : " The Democratic party on the tariff , question WM tne great American politic al and hypocritical crab, with ten legs, reacntngin all directions.

The salaried prevaricators of tue Philadel phia Vsw are hard at work aiding and abet toryuay. Ibe organ ol our minister to Eusia on Wednesday morning had a sever al column article from Washington in which . i . . a laoonuus euon was roaje to convince the public that Senator Q'lay really delayed .i . rjrLin i . uic larui inn uju was opposea to its pass age. This was backed up in the editorial columns of the same paper in a way to in dicate that the short-menioried editors cf the Vew have apparently forgotten that on November 3, IMji, (when things were differ ent), they gladly published an interview with James M.

In the an xious days of las-t summer, when tiie rates of duty in the McKinlev bill were still in a formative stage and timid in fiuences were at work to make some 01 these rates lower than tbey should be. Senator 4uav personally exerted himself to secure the hitfhest rates posfcible. He was always accessible to representatives of imperiled in terests : he could always be seen at his house or bis committee room, and be was always polite and kind to every caller. He bad the intelligence to grasp technical details and the industry and fidelity t3 his constituents io waicn tnese oeuuis turoupti the ten ani ious days when the bill was in committee of conference. His assistance during those days and during the weeks of di-haie in the senate which proceeded them will be remem bered with gratitude by representatives of the glass interest, the potterv interest, the iron and steel interests, the textile interests and other Industrie? which leaned upon him. Maj. McKinlev himself has reason to know thai he had Senator yuiiv s help in securing satisfactory rates from the conference com mittee. The organ of oar miniaUr to Baatia is, by the way. the same paper that on the morning following tbe last gubernatorial election indulged in a job lot of sickening Cattery because it (bought Delamater was elected, and the next day when it foun i he wa?nt elected indulged in an amount of bilious denunciation of the Republican managers that was sorrowful to contem plate.

When they reached her both drew off their heavy over coats and by w rapping them around her fi nally succeeded lu extinguishing the tlames, not, howevtr, before they had both been burned severely about the bands and wrists. The officers summoned the' ambulance and bad tbe woman removed to the hospi tal.

At first she refused to tell bow her clothing had become ignited, but finai'y said that during a quarrel her hus band, Frank Jevilie, a French Italian, had thrown a lightel lamp on her.

PniLATiELi-iiiA, March 17. The Pennsyl vania prohibitionists have lost their case in tbe lower courts. They attacked the consti tutionality of the Baker ballot law in the Philadelphia courts to test it. As a result the common pleas court No. 2 this afternoon refused to grant the injunction asked for against city olticers to restrain them from carrying into effect' the new ballot law. This deciiion was given without un accom panying opinion. The prohibition leaders will, however, appeal to the supreme court. Their contention is that the law makes dis criminations in favor of the strong political parties, and that it prohibits the probi tionists from having the names of their cau- aitlMten urinted iiDon the official ballots, be- the profnoilion candidates in the last elec tion fell below the three per cent, of the ag gregate n.'.mber of votes cast.

Lord or,, w. tha Half Rates to Clergyman on Pennsylvania Railroad. la ollericg half rate to clergymen the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has insti tuted tbe most oompreliensiveaQd liberal ar rangement ever adopted under like circum stances. Not only ia the reduction availa ble by ministers of the Gospel who reside npon tbe lines of the Pennsylvania Rail road, but it applies equally to those of any section of the United States, and tbe rate is accepted on tbe entire Pennsylvania Rail road system both east and west of Pittsburg, a. tierpyroan naving a cnarge in any por tion of the west or south is entitled to trav el at half fare over tbe Pennsylvania on pre sentation of his clerical order to any ticket agent of tha company, and likewise the clergymen of the east may tue tbe lines of the company over their entire extent under tbe tame conditions. Mioisters of the Gospel were never before accorded such concessions, and It is easy to prtdirt that they will show their apprecia tion of the Pennsylvania Sallroad'a liberali ty by patronising it whf p they or their fam ilies have occasion to travek Quay's Senatorial Fight.

He ia quite confident of suc cess, aa he has a rifcbt to be from tbe very encouraging ioformalioa which he found awaiting his return.
