The Democrat. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1890. IDAHO is making strenuous efforts to se cure admission to the Union. But the New York Telegram thinks that " Idaho ought to be made wait * little longer. The voting population of the Territory is about 15,000 as against 45,000 for Wash ington, 40,000 for Montana, 41,000 for North Dakota and 70,000 for South Dakota. A BKIDOB across the English Channel is not among the improbabilities of the fu ture. The project is pronounced feasible by competent engineers, and a late num ber of the Scientific American contains the plans and estimates for such a structure, which were discussed at a meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute at Paris during the past year. Tun last edition of the United States Official Register, or '• Blue Book," con tains a list of all the employes of the Oov ernmen, with the exception of tbdse in the general postal service, together with the officers of the army and navy, the total number of names amounting to 58,- 000. The volume shows that 16.234 per sons are employed in the city of Washing ton, 12,215 being men, and 4,021 women. These are divided among the Beveral de partments as follows: Treasurjr, 2,334 men. 1,308 women j War, 1,74!) men, 79 women ; Navy, 1,430 men, 27 women ; Interior, 2,308 men, 801 women ; Poat ufllce, 481 men, 147 women ; Justice, 82 men, 15 women ; Agriculture, 106 men, 120 women ; Labor, 44 men, 9 women ; Government Printing Office, 1,504 men, 709 women ; Washington City Govern ment, 906 men, 667 women ; Totals —11,- 031 men and 3,894 women. The remain ing 125 are employed chiefly in the smaller executive offices of the Govern ment and at the Capitol. THE UNITED STATES MILITIA. The report of Adjutant General Skelton upoi the militia force of the United States shows the strength of the militia of the States to consist of 7,697 commissioned officers, 91,373 enlisted men and 7,308,498 men not organised, b it available for mili tary duty ; of the territories, 214 officers, 3,365 men and 101,673 availahles; of the District of Columbia 141 officers, 1,643 men and 42.000 availahles, making a grand total for the United States of 8 052 officers, 103,292 men and 7,352,171 availa blcs. New York is the banner militia State, with 743 commissioned officers, 13,- 478 men and 650,000 availubles, Pennsyl vania following with 628 officers, 7,865 men and 657,905 availahles. Ohio ranks third, the Buckeye State having 375 officers, 5,544 enlisted men and 600,000 availables. THE MEW KUI.ES. New York World. The Republicans in the House of Repre sentatives have acknowledged themselves beaten and have surrendered. " General parliamentary law," as interpreted by Mr. Reed, is to become part of history. Con gress will be tr übled by it no longer than the time required to pass the code of rules, which, it is expected, will be repor ted to-day. The democrats have won in this con test. We call this fact to the attention of those who have admired the splendid genius who has been " standingin the breach until, Republican reinforcements could be brought up "—who has displayed " the audacity of a born ruler of men." He is beaten. The reiiforcements have not arrived, and his party has dragged liini out of the breach in order that he may no longer make a sorry spectacle of himself. The Speaker has been advised that it is much safer to loot the Treasury under the semblance of law tl an by brute lorce. The Democrats have won at every point in the struggle. They compelled the Republicans, against the angry pro tests of Mr. Reed himself, to vole Smith into Jackson's seat wilb a constitutional quorum. To obtain lliat the Repulbi cans robbed the hospitals for votes. The Democrats have won again in com pelling the adoption of rules before the transaction of oilier public business. Aed they have won peaceably, by proper. legit imate, dignitied means. When Reed committed his first outrage there was nat urally an angry outburst of indignation, but Mr. i arlisle, Mr. Crisp, the Breckin ridges, Mr. Wilson and oihers insisted on adhering to the higher grounds on which Ihe parly stood. There has been no violence and there has been mi t ire: ts. but there lias been the culm courage of convic'ionof tlie right, which has pro duced a speedier anil deeper ettecton the Republicans than could have been wrought by a thousand mountebanks shaking their flats in Reed's face. Though the rules are bad in several particulars, and ought not to be adopted without amendment, their presentation is a victory for the friends of an ordeily, decent, regulated and eun.tuutional con duct of business in the Rouse. THK CONTI-.hT A r WASHINGTON. There have been exciting scenes in ihe House of Representative at Washington during the past couple of weeks. The contest arose us loliows: It litis been the invariable practice from the foundation of the Government, for Con gress to adopt very shortly afier its lirsl assembling a set of rules for the ordeilv conduct of its business and fur Ihe pro tcrtion of the ngt.is ol the minority. These rules are subject lo debate and I amendment before aHopiion. and though j finally passed by the niajorily, lliey serve to limit and dtetine the powers of the ma jority and of the speaker within the bounds ot fairness and equity; The present Congress has now been in session for two months, and in defiance of ail precedent and all reason has thus far persisted in proceeding without any rules whatever. The reason why the Republi cans do this is that they hare only a bare majority of *ll the members elected, that they cannot always count n having a majority present, aad that their only hope of crowding through certain proposed biHs, Buch as a federal election law, and also of arbitrarily determining in their own favor enough of the numerous con tested elections to Congress, to supoly themselves with a working majority, lies in the absence of the ugual rules, and in thus leaving in the hands of the speaker unlimited powor to refuse to recognize ! members, to put motions,-and to enter tain appeals. The Democrats, however, relying upon 'unbroken precedent and on the general | .principles of common justice, demand that the majority shall offer, and after i giving the usual opportunity for debate and amendment, shall adopt a set of rules in themsual manner. As this en tirely reasonable and proper demand has remained so long unheeded, they have at last refused to-vote. The immediate re sultwnf this manoeuvre if that the roll-call does not show the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business. And it is just at this point that the hottest tight has>been waged. From the time of the First Congress down to the present, the answers to dhe roll-call have been held conclusive on the question of a member's .pretence or absence. But Speaker Reed ; lias 'broken over all precedent, and notic ing that as a matter of fact numerous Democrats are present, though silent, be counts them in, directs the clerk to re cord thed presence, and thus makes up a quarum. Then the Republicans having a ' majority of that quorum, can transact business as they please. The fatal dan . gor of the speaker's assumption of pow :er is that it leaves it to one man to deternnue beyond appeal whether a quorum is present or not. This is a question which, howeVi r deter mined prima facie, should always be, and has in Congress always been, determined finally by calling the roll. This leaves it to the House to say whether a quorum is present or not. Mr. Reed has also as sumed the power to refuse to put motions to adjonrn until to bis own mind " the proper time " arrives, and to refuse ap peal to the House from anv and all of his rulings, and has actually exercised this despotic power. Naturally the Demo crats have hotly reseuted his unwarrant able course. When Mr. Blaine was Speaker, the same plan of " counting a quorum " was urged upod him by " Ben " Butler; but, against the wishes of his owu party, he refused to accede, and stated that such a thing was unheard of and wholly un justifiable and would, if enforced, bring Congress " to the very brink of a volca no." In 1880, while this same Mr. Reed was an influential member of a Republi can minority, he urged on a similar occa sion that the " constitutional idea of a quorum is not the presence of a majority of the members of the House, but a ma jority ol the mem tiers "present and partic ipating in the business of the House." Mr. Garticld and other eminent Republi cans have held the same views and ex pressed them repeaiedly. If Mr. Reed persists in what he and the most eminent members of his own party have hitherto denounced as unconstitutional, the " vol cano " will certainly be in eruption before long. Some l>ay.

Keedy, the Present Bnegess of MtllvMe Bo raajk. Prior to the mi ieting of the Convention proper a caucus was held, which resem bled an executive session of the United States Senate in that none but members of the Convention were allowed admit tance. U leaked out, however, alterwards —as the members talked quite froely of what took place that a committee compMed of the delegates present from the Third ward Messrs. Bcott Dibert aud Jacob Fockler —was appointed to wait on Mr.,J. M. Sbumaker, of the Third ward, to see whether he would aooept the nomination for Mayor. In a short time the committee returned and reported that Mr. Shumaktr positively declined running, notwith standing the fact that the gentlemen of the committtee used all their eloquent powers of persuasion to prevail upon him to do so. This threw the assemblage into a quan dary. The names of H. W. Btory, Irwin Howell and C. T. Frazer were mentioned without arriving at a choice. Finally the caucus hit upon Mr. Dwight Huberts,, wham they thought to be willing to take the chances of leading the ltepub'ican tiofcet'to what now looks like defeat. TUB CONVENTION. The reporters and others not delegates who had applied for admission were then given places in the Convention. Chairman Keedy called the Convention to order and named A. H. Walters and Chas. H. Wehn as Temporary Secretaries, after which the following delegates pre sented their credentials : nm war a —A. H. Walters, Thomas E. Hamil ton. Ben. W. Thomas. Seeond-F. W. Coxe, John W. Harris. & A.

Mr. Keedy then stated that the Con vention was ready to choose u Permanent Chaiiman. H. W. Storey, Esq., was chosen for the position, aud the Temporary Secretaries were retained as permanent. The roll was then called, showing a few absentees. Il was then decided that where only two delegates weie present they should cast a third vote. Nominations for .Mayor were then de clared in order. 11. W. Slick nominated Dwight Roberts, and Ben. W. Thomas naminated Thos. P. Keedy. The latter gentleman did not want his name used but his request to have it withdrawn was denied him. The Convention then •proceeded to bal lot viva voce, resultiug in Id votes for Roberts arid 20 for Keedy. The an nouncement of the result by the Chair de claring Mr. Keedy nominated was fol lowed by applause. Mr. Scott Dibert moved that the nomi nation of Mr. Keedy be made unanimous, which was agreed too, every member ris ing to his feet. There were calls for Mr. Keedy, who spoke briefly as follows: GENTLEMEN:-1 feel that I must accept this nomination, so generously tendered me, al though Ido so with reluctance, coming, as It does, without any solicitation on my paft, I shall make the best light l can tor the office. Tne Chairman then called for nomi nations for Cit Treasurer. Curt. Campbell nominated Jacob M. Caldwell, and F. \V. Coxe named S. M. Miller. On the ballot which followed Caldwell had 3 votes and Miller 39. Mr. Campbell, one of the representatives from Mr. Cald well's ward moved that Mr. Miller's nomi nation be made unauimoiis, which was agreed to. For City Controller, E. T. Carswell had 42 votes —the whole vote of the conven tion. Foi City Assessor Morgan Reese was named by Clias. Brixner, Clius. Brixner by S. S Reed. Emery West by S. S. Kin kead. Messrs. Jnies Quinn, Geo. Fock ler, John W. James, levin Rutledge, August Hammer, and J. M. Wertz were also nominated. On Ibe first ballot Mr. West had 33 votes, lammer 26, Frazer 10, Rutledge 18, Wertz 10, Reese 4, Quinn 5, James 6, Fockler 6, Brixner 3. Messrs. West and Hammer, having received a majority ot the voies, were declared nominated. A second ballot resulted in 8 votes for Reese, 2 for Brixner, 1 for Fockler, 8 for Quinn. 7 tor James, 16 for Hutiedge, and 6 for W i rtz. On minion the two lowest were droppi after which a third ballot was inkeii suiting in 11 votes for Reese, 10£ for Q ,6 for Wertz, and 22J for Rut ledge.

OBSERVATIONS. " It's queer isn't it," says some one. " that the caucus nominee should be laid out by one whose name had not before been mentioned." That of course is one of the ways of doing unexpected things. When the convention bad completed its work a delegate of generous impulses, but judicious foresight, made the remark that the dsy after Brother Keedy is elect ed he would set up the oysters for the crowd. This delegate, on inquiry, was found to be 'Squire Rutledge. The plan of gcttiog a man who would stand up against the odds was a pretty sharp one on the part of the managers. Quite a number of Republicans had been importuned to take the nomination. Upon searching the whole camp not one avail able stick of timber could be found. But the plan of putting the nomination upon some men without previously nsking his consent, was bit upon. And how well it worked, too. HASTING'B MILITARY IDEAS. He Delivers an Interesting Address at the National Guardsman Association Meet ing. At the National Guardsman Association meeting, which is being held at Washing. IOD, General D. 11. Hastings delivered an address entitled, •' The Relation of the Militia of the States and Territories to the Regular Army." It was evident that he had given considerable thoug'it to bis subject and was thoroughly familiar with it. He took the position that National Guards should pattern after the regular army as far as possible. The same sys tem of tactics should be adopted ami dis cipline while in active service should be based on the rules in vogue in the army. Generul Hastings advotaled the adop tion of regular uniform, an idea which is followed closely in the Pennsylvania mili tia and which has earned for it a reputa tion as being the most business like of any (if the National Guards in the Stales. General Hastings was frequently inter rupted with applause during his address, following liim came Generals Wiley, Gnbiu and Snowden, each of whom mai e short but interesting speeches OH the sub ject under discussion. Four Striking Features of the I'enuityl runiu Lluiicml. Of all the passenger truius of the world, none presents for the convenience and accommodation of its passengers so many original and novel features as the Penn sylvania Limited. This train offers four great features unique in the history (>' pHß9enger travel. As it speeds across the continent there are Hashed over the wires, to meet or overtake it. the fluctuations, of the New York aud Philadelphia stock markets, and there are also posted on its bulletins fulll reports of the doings in tin foreign and domestic financial marts. Thus tire wayfaring ntan reads as he runs. In order that the traveler may dispaich any commission which these reports mil) suggest, or dispose of any current cor respondence, a stenographer and type writer is provided f ;• the free use of the train's patrons. He will lake the dicta tion of loiters or telegrams, and see that they are forwarded from the train. Tlitis may business proceed though tnu count ing-room he many miles away. So much for the men. Ladies could never before travel in such comfort. For their convenience a waiting-maid is assigned to each tram, whose dutV't is to seive as Ladies' maid in all thai the term implies. Ladies without escort, ladies with children, and invalids are the pecul iar objects of their care. So that one's own maid may be left at home, and yei the fair traveler may receive assistance from ouc well trained in the duties of her vocation. The fourth important feature also ef interest to the ladies, is the obser vation cur. This cur is atlaclu-d to the rear of the train. Tne Int. tcr h -If of it is a large op< n sitting room furnished with easy chair-. IJroad plate windows admit a wide ex panse of light, and the broad platform ut the rear makes a pleasant open-air observ atory in fair weather. This car is open to all passengers and forms a magnificent sitting room for lad'es. Witu these four prominent character istics, in addition to the superior sleeping apartments, bath rooms for both sexes, a (lining car unexcelled in service and cui sine, smuKing and leading apartments' and a barber saloon, the Pennsylvania Limited sustains its claim of being the most complete passenger train of tin world. The Wilmore 'I leket Olflce It hbeal. J On Thursday cveuing, shortly alter 7 o'clock, the Pennsylvania Railroad Station ut Wilmore, was robbed of about sls in money. The burglars broke a glass in lite window, so us to be able to un fasten the sash lock. They then entered by the window and t tok the money drawer nndits contents. The safe, which contained a considerable amount ol money and which wns unlocked, was not disturbed. Il is supposed the ra-eais bad not time to complete their work before the time for the return of ihe agent.There is no clue to Ihe thief. During the storm on Fricay afternoon the roof was blown off :he Pennsylvania railroad station at Loya lianna. WIND AND SLEET. The New Glass Works at Blairsville Blown Down Yesterday.

The sleet, driven by the wind, came down as if shot from a gun. No one could be out of doors. The new glass works were blown down killing Manager Charles E. Barr, of the glass company, and the Secretary, John I. Berney. Many others were badly hurt, some of the.u perhaps fatally. The town is in a state of great exct'ement. There were also many minor accidents. THE FLOOD COMMISSION A Number of Timely QueHtiom Arknd —Why Don't the Commission Publish How They Have Distributed the Money. To the Editor of the Johnstown Democrat. Webster 9aid in his reply to Hayne, 1 thank Qod if I have none of that spirit that lifts man up I have none of thatolher spirit that drags angels down. What a difference between the above statement and the so called Slate Flood Commission who seem just now to be trying to direct the attention of the public from their own transactions by endeavoi ing to slander and besmirch others. Would it not look as well for them to publish the names and amounts each in dividual received from their 'own Cort mitiee? Would it not look a little more decent to publish the names of men in Johnstown to whom they gave live and six thousand dollars, men who lost no more than some of our people in South Fork, wheio the pitiable sum of 155,(100 was divided among foriy-two individuals, including in this no companies in which there were more than from thiee to live men ?

Our IVople Make tiood Vu of Thli fetr't First Opportunity—An Accident. The laiidies ami their lassies had an op portunily Friday evening to carry out some of their postponed plans lor the earlier part of (be season. The sleigh rides arranged for at Christmas, should there he snow, were first in the thought* of many yesterday as the snow began t* cover the ground. The snow had scarcely begun to fall rightly till the liverymen had rigs engaged, and by evening tbey were mnhlng engagements a week ahead. Many of the swains were loth to he put off several days because there were other* ahead of them. In the evening the jingle of bells was almost constant, and the. streets were more lively than they have yet been this winter. Munv of the (lriveis made the best of their time, too, as their norsea were by uo means slightly warmed up. There was one mishap, however;'to j rn .r the pleasure of the occasion. The horse driven bv .Mr. Claude M. Johnson, ] of the Johnson Foundry, became unman- j ageable and took to running. Near I the posiollice the sleigh upset, throwing Mr. Johnson out, but not hurting him. The horse broke aw ay from him and ran toward the Frankliu street bridge. In stead ol keeping the street it took the sidewalk part of rite way. There was al- \ most a panic in that neighborhood, as the j streets were full ol people. The sleigh .i was wrecked, and several people nar- ] rowly escaped injury by being run over or struck by the dying sleigh. The horse ran down the road that { leads to the river, just above the Franklin street bridge, where it slipped and fell. Some one caught it and held it till the owner, .Mr. Johnson, came up aud took, away. MAUItIAGE LICENSES. The following Have Been Granted Slime I Our Last Report.
