consideration nt tho hands of Mr. Iteilly
judging from tho past. Tho Immigration

Bviiry licpubllcan in Schuylkill county

for thu presidential nomination, and no wheie
in tho state is there a stronger Quay senti
ment than in Schuylkill county. The Iie
ptihlicau convention to be held in Pott.svillc
on Saturday will undoubtedly elect two dele
gates to St. Louis favorable to the iiouiinatiun
of Senator Quay, and resolutions will bo
adopted endorsing his candidacy. To do
otherwise would be a misrepresentation of
tlio Republican party of Schuylkill county,

out from tho shouldor in his annual report
on firo Insurance. Ho shows up tho weak-
iiom of tho mutual companies doing business
in this stato, iu a way that must result In

LogUlaturo. It Is surprising, as one raids
tlio criticisms of tho Commissioner, how it is
possible for tho people to bo gulled so easily.
Iu no other way will thoy pay out tholr
money witli so little investigation. They
appear to be sutisllod to take tlio word of nu
insurance agent without any qualification

dollars are being lost ovory your. In tho
judgment of tlio Commissioner mutual com

and other ufoguards should bo thrown
around tho Insured.
NATIONAL DELEGATE.
YVo have received a communication from a
prominent Republican living Iu Muhanoy
City soliciting tho Information as to who is
the choice of this paper for national delegato.
It Is true the IIkkald was the first to an
nounce tho candidacy of Joseph MeConnell,
of Ashland, l : :). honor of representing
his party at Ht. Louis, but in doing so vrc ,
rueroly expressed tho sentiments .of tile
majority of Kepubllcans north of tho moun
tain.
Mr. MeConnell has done yeoman sei-vieo
for tho party ill the put, and we believe he
is juslilled in seek lug tho distinction and
honor, lie represent tho young olemont of
the party, nnd is a man of pronounced ideas
and the serant of no political "boss." What
ever opposition there wU when his candidacy
was first u mum need has now disappeared,
and as the selection of this cud of the county
bis election will be made unanimous.
It is rumored that Senator Coyle will be a
candidate for national delegate, hut this is
hardly to bo credited in the face of the senti
ment of not only the delegates to the con
vention but tho party members generally.
We give tho Senator credit for greater
shrewdness as a politician than to knowingly
put his head Into tho lion's mouth.
Our Mshanoy City correspondent will thug
see that In presenting the inline of Mr. Mo
Connoll we woro reflecting the sentiment of
tho great majority of the Republicans of the
county, and at tho same timo paving tlio way
for tho reward of a faithful party worker. As
to tho contest lielow the mountain, the party
voters of that section arc well able to make
theirown selection. It is customary to select
a national delegate from each of the two
Beetions. We licliove, however, that Con
gressitinn llrumm Is killing the gooso that
laid the golden egg in asking that ho bo sent
to St. Louts. Ho lias fined well at the hands
of the Republican paity. Hut thoro is such
a thing as asking too lunch, and wo think
that (lino lias arrived in tho career of tlio
Congressman from Schuylkill.

THE AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS.
Ilalllugtnn llooth's Now Movement Starts
Out Auspiciously in Cblcngo.
Chicago, March 30. Uulllngtou Booth's
followers In Chicago fired tho first volley
for tho now American Voluutcors yester
day afternoon at a hull on tho west side,
In closo proximity to Salvation Army
Iieadnuartcrs. Majors Blackhurst ami
Trumblo, who arrived from Now York to
orgunizo tho Chicago contingent, wore
erected with cheers mingled with count
less "anions" nud "hallelujahs" whon
they explained tho causes of tho rovolt.
Thoy announced tholr determination to
remain loyal to tho standard or Mr. nnu
Mrs. llalllngton Booth, and to forever ro
nounco nil allegiance to tho redbrcasted
soldiery with which they havo been Identi
fied for years.
Many formor prominent members of the
Salvation Army grasped them by tho hand
and co-operated in tho organization of tho
Volunteers. Ono hundred others enlisted
ut tho mooting in tho afternoon, and the
number was incrensod in tho evening. As
tho Volunteer oliicials approached tho hall
they woro accorded ono continuous ova
tion by a largo crowd or people who lined
tho sidewalks forscvcral blocks. Notwith
standing tho public demonstration In
honor of tho Volunteers, a number oi Sal
vationists who are lighting under General
Booth's banner stood on tho curbstouo and
rofuscd to bo led into secosslou.
Major Blackhurst was tho principal
SHcaker of tho day. As thoolllcial mouth-
pleco of Halllnitton Booth his remarks
created Interest. The spenkor said that
Ballington Booth had been misrepresented,
and thnt tho fundamental cause of tho
wholo troublo was tho fact that Balling-
ton Booth was in too closo touch with
American Ideas, which conflicted with
thoso In London. Ho said that Ballington
Bootli was summarily dismissed by Com
maudant Hurbort Booth, of Canada, who
represented tho Knglish general. The
major confirmed the rumor that Gonornl
Bootli onco ordorcd down tlio American
Hag in a certain ofllco of the Salvation
Army over which Ballington Booth had
jurisdiction, and to this Incident Mnjor
Blackhurst attributes tho widening of tho
chasm which Bepurntod father and sou.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Until Houmw Will I'ay Attention to Ap
propriation lllll'.
WASmtfOTOX, Maroh 80. The present
arrangement In tho senate is to Uiko up
tho bill providing for a settlement of the
accounts botwoen tho state of Arkansas
and the United States at the conolitslon
of tho morning hour today, and to give the
day to the bill If necessary to dlsimso of It.
It Is doubtful, howevor, whether f urthar
timo will be given the bill If It Is not out
of tho way wheu the adjournment hour Is
rcnohnd tonight. It Is oxpuctod that tho
postuffico appropriation bill will be re
ported from the appropriations committee
today, nnd if It should bo the disposition
will be to tako it up in the senate tomor
row and pas It as soon its posslldo. Sen
ator Mitchell says that ho will ask tho
senate to proceed with tho consideration
on the Dupont election cio after today,
providing appropriation bills do not stand
In the way. There probably will bo ntv
prolonged debate over the postolnce' bill,
unless upon tlio fast mall subsidies, and
it will, in all likelihood, bo disposed of in
two or throe days' time.
Tho sundry civil appropriation bill prob
ably will consume tho mnjor portion of
tho time of the honie this week, nnd by
ninny It Is considered doubtful whether
it will have been disposed of whon the
house adjourns next Saturday. Tho bill
will preolpltnto tho general opposition of
the Democratic sldo liccause of tho fact.nl
roady pointed out, that for all continuing
work now under contraot (river nud har
bor and publlo building work) tho bill
oarrlos upproprlotloiis for only olght
months. This is an entirely now departure
and will bring up a discussion of appro
priations nil along tho lino. In addition
to this tho bill carries SIO.000,000, ovorlll,
000,000 less than tho estimates.
It is tho Intention of Chairman Hltt, of
tho foreign affairs committee, to call up
tho conference report on tho Cuban resolu
tions as soon os tho sundry civil bill is out
of tho way. It is not thought that tho
adoption of tho report will oncounter much
antagonism.
