Cowardice of Statesmen. The latest advices from Wii-nini;-ton are to the effect that tho Imini ' grntloii restriction bill, which piivt'd tho Somite several weeks itf,'o by n good uuijority, will be Hide trucked in the House. This plan is not nd'vted beenilbO of any fear that tlm inou-ure wool 1 meet with n.i adverse nnir Hy in the lower house. If the bill reached the stao where a vote could j botakon,it is even admitted by op ponents of the 11. ensure that it would pass with a good working niajorlu. There arc, however, a number of Congressmen who expect to be caudi dates foi re elec'luu. and they do not care at this time to make a reroul that would be used against them. If they voted for the bill certain foiein elements in theh district would array themselves against these cowaidl statesmen; and, on the other hand; il they voted against a restrictive meas ure certain Auiei ii'im hi bur elements, who have strongly petitioned their roproseutativesto iHRs the bill, would call them to an account of their stewardship. This is the reason w hy the bill has not boon pushed forward in the House, and which may finally result in its beinr pigeon-holed for the present. Even these cowardly Congressmen (and Schuylkill's representative is numbered in that category) will ad mit that legislation in line with tho Lodge bill is not only demanded hy a great majority of their constituents, but the time has arrived when greater restriction should be placed upon tho hordes of immigrants now landing upon our shores. The country is al ready overcrowded with unskilled labor, and their ranks will be greatly swelled during the next twelve months should the bill in question bo not acted upon m deference to the wishes of these cowaidly statesmen. There u also danger that a Congics may be elected this fall adverse to a restrictive measure. The steamship companies and other interested parties are arraed against the measure, and besides maintaining a powerful lobby at Washington, have beou actively at work creating senti ment in opposition to it. This is shown in the petitions sent to Con gressmen by societies composed of foreigners protesting against such legislation. The Congressman from this district has received beveral peti tion of this nature, and this week one was forwarded from his home town. Ho is mildly threatened with defeat for re-election if ho should not heed the demand of the petitioners and oppoie tho restriction of immi gration. On the other hand, Sir. liruium is aware of tho greater number of peti tions that have been forwarded to Washington requesting tho repre sentatives from this stato to yote in favor of the bill. Thus he is between the dovil and the deep sea, and it re maius to be seen where he stands when the llual summons comes. Likely as not, ho will resort to his old tactics of stranding tho question. We shall Bee. Speak-Easies nourishing. Tho Girard Estate has succeeded in closing up tho licensed taverns of West Mahanoy township, but we doubt very much if tho cause of temperance, of which the president of the Board of City Trusts is an en thusiastic advocate has been bene fitted thereby. It is already re ported that "speak-easies" have sprung up like mushrooms, and are likely to do far more harm to the temperance causo than tho half-dozen houses (hat have been closed. . It looks like shooting beyond the mark, unless the ofllciuls of the Es tate follow up the matter by prose cuting tho owners of tho speak easies, which it seems they are morally bound to do. In prosecuting such cases, however, grout difficulty would be experienced, as the senti ment of the community is favorable to the pate of liquor ; and as permis sion to sell legally has beon refused by the officials of tho Estate, It will ho sold Illegally, and will bo con nived at by the Inhabitants of the township, and the action of the hoard will only result in increased hy pocrlsy in the people at large. We are not apologizing for tho liquor trafll, nor discussing tho tout' peranco question, which has pro vokod moro or less discussion in all ages since Noah's exhibition of over indulgence early in the world's his tory, but are constrained to make u few remarks upon the case as it Is a good illustration of what an excess of zeal in a good causo can accomplish when not properly restrained and directed.

HNGllsiI 'l'llKSs Ol'lNIOMs; All Altron That tlio Horror Wns the Itosult of Accident. London, Fob. 17. Tho Dally News, commenting upon the disaster to the United States warship Maine, says: "The disaster reaches the very ex tremity of horror. The public feeling of the world, shocked by this dire calamity, will do well to imitate the restraint imposed on that of the Uni ted States hy both the Washington gov ernment and the captain of the ill-fated ship. For suspicions of foul play there seems to be absolutely no warrant, though naturally they haunt tho minds of many Amerlcnns. They should be entertained only on absolute compul sion. A spark of misdirected national feeling might cause terrible mischief. The attitude of Spain at this agonizing moment will either efface the memory of the De Lome Incident forever or re vive It with added circumstance of bit terness nnd nsperslon that cannot be contemplated without a shudder. The calamity sends a pang to every Brit ish heart." The Morning Post, In an editorial of profound sympathy, expresses the hopo that certain American senators who have "allowed themselves to talk rather wildly," will suspend Judgment. The paper does not believe In the torpedo theory, and thinks the disaster the re sult ot an accident, but it fears the real cause will never be known. The Dally Chronicle says: "British sorrow and sympathy are little less vivid than if the casualty had hap pened to one of our own ships." It thinks the theory that the boilers burst absutd, and after expressing the opin ion that there is "no apparent Justi fication of foul play," It suggests that some new and dangerous explosive, which was on board with a view of experiment, should an occasion arise, oxploded spontaneously after suffering the process of mechanical decomposi tion, and so fired the magazine."

Senators Stewart, Hawley, Chandler and Lodge spoke In favor of j Increases. Senator Teller also advo- , cated the bill expenditure, and during his remarks made significant allusions to Cuba and Hawaii. In executive ses sion Senator Morrill opposed Hawaiian annexation. The debate on the bankruptcy bill, which Is ttj continue until Saturday, when a vote will bo taken, opened In the house yesterday, but It attracted little attention, the Interest of the mem bers being entirely absorbed by the disaster of the Maine. At times the hall of the house was almost deserted, the members being congregated In the lobbies or cloak rooms discussing the accident and speculating upon its prob able consequences. Just before the house adjourned Mr. joutelle, chair man of the naval committee, presented a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, expressing regret for the- dis aster, condolence with the families of those who lost their lives and sym pathy with the Injured.
