Vinnie Ream Hoxio, was unvelled yesterday at Washing- fon with imposing coremonies, Ex-Post- master-Genoral Maynnard made the nddress of the oceaslon, which was;an elognent and graceful tribute to the memory of the dend naval hero, President Garfield and Scnator ‘Voorhees ndded the tribateof thelr eloquonce to the occaslon. The parade of the Untted States sallors and the naval cadets was very brilllant. A noticenblo featurs was @tho hearty greeting which Presklent Garfeld recolved from the assembled muititude. Sexator MiLer, of Californin, s grow- ing restive at the continuance of the Senate deadlock, e Is very desirous—and so are his constituents—that the Chinese troaties, submitted last session, shall be immedintely " acted on. 'Thaso treaties will fall through it not ratified In twelve months from the dnte of negotlation, and ns the limit is fast ap- proaching Seuator Miller Is very desirous that the Senate o Into executive seasion and acton them. Itisnot hmprobable that Sun- atorMiller’s arguments may huve some ef- . féct in determining the course of the Repub- lican Senatorial cnueus which will be held to-morrow, very likely. TnE stenmship Victorla, of the Anchor Line, from London, cams into New York Harbor yesterday with about 1,000 steeraga passengers, nearly, If not all, lnmigrants, and among them severnl porsons stricken with small-pox. Those sufferlug wera tnken to the small-pox hospital, and the physiclans dstermined on vacelnating all on board who had not been vaceinated before. The eabln passengors and most of tho steerage pnssen- gors subinitted quietly, but about 150 of the latter, mostly Poles and Russlans, pro- tested in language of varying degrees of profanity and with gestures of overy typo of ungracefulness, Some of the women , knocked tne Instruments<out of the sur- geous’ hands, Finally those who would not submit were forced by the crew of the steawer into the quarantine boat and con. voyed to Dix’s Island, where thoy will be kept until they submit to vaccination, Heavrn-CossnssioNen Di Worr ndvises peaple to boil the.watar they use for drink- Sug purposes during tho next few days, The ndvico Is wise and thnely, The wiud has been from the sonth during tho past thirty- slx or torty-elght hours and has carried the rlver water in the direction of the erib,. It thoroughly bolled and then cooled with lee, the water will bo free from any Injurlous proporties; othorwise it may produce slck- ness. The tempornry disturbance of the water near the erib hus agaln suggested the desirabllity of locating the crib further away, but it is not easy to ses how such u change canbe brought about. It will require sev- oral millions, first and last, to establish o new system of water-works, and [t will be uecegsary to socure an amendment to the Stata Constitutlon before any more money can be borrowedl by the City of Chlcngon, This cowse will be resisted, and with good reasony and it will be alnost fmposstble to scours new works by monns of current taxa. tion. We fear the people of Chleago must ba content with the present water system for some yeors to come, and take comfort Jn the reflection that It 1s superlor to the wator-supply of most citles, Tue Irish Land bill was discussed in the House of Comuons yesterday on the motlon . forasecond readiug. Mr., Glbson, s Iglsh ‘Tory, salid the bill propased to confiseato part of the property of landlords, und that theonly seourity which landlords had aguinst the con- fiscatlon of all thelr property was liberty to resort to perpetusl Mtigutlon, Mr, Warton and Mr. Gorst, two uolsy Torles, then re- sorted to obatructive tdctics, fn which they seemed to the Marqyls of Huntington to have the support of b‘hélul!or(l Noriheots, “The latter protested. “Mr. Luwly, an Irlsh Tory, 3, Bulllvan, & Home-Ruler, appealed to the ‘Torfes not to obstruct, but seemingly tono purpose. Mr, Forster then ontered uto an elaborate explanution of the bill, pref- acing his yeuarke by a statemoent that the Government would cavefully consider amendments to the bill, and would support such as were consldered good ones in comns mittee, and particularly- one tending to fm- prave the position of agricultura! laborers. e sumned up the purpvse of thu meosure u8 & refurin of tha systew of Jand tenure, an iucrease in the number of Lrish yeouen and H proprictors, and relief to the overcrowded districts, 1Te aaid the bill would not injure the landlords, and would benefit the tenants. AN EXPLANATION WHIOH FAILS TO EX- PLAIN. ‘Tnx TRInUNE has frequently called upon the Republican membersof tha United States Senate to farnish to the public soma juatifi- cation, or atloast soma axplanatios, of the continuea refusal to act upon the Executlve appointmenta beforu insisting npon the futlte effort to cleet now ofiicers for the Henate. With the best disposltion in the world to ald the Republican majority (Ineludine the Viee- Presltlent’s voto) to obtain control of the Sen- ntorinl offices and hikesvlse to promote the Liberal or antl-Bourbon movement In Vir- ginin and other Southern States, Tae Trin- UNE has been unable to discover how the re- fusal to net on the President’s appointmenta was to serve clther of these purposes, and the Ropubliean Scnators have beon singularly reserved on tho subject. At lnst Senntor Kollogs, of Loulsiana, has undertaken to throw some light on the situation in behalf: of tho Republieans, and their theory of the deadlock will be found in the subjoined ex- tract from an interviow with Kellogg: * Assuming that tho Ropublicans comnromiso nnd go intn oxecutive sessiun bofore the olfiecrs nrg olected, tho Deinoorats would tindoubtedly 0 home, making It fmpossible to rearganize’the nate, 1f this Is doro ft would bo a practical triumph for tho Demourats, or the tnority over .the mujority. Now, talsls not right. The lte- publicnnn party should support Mr. Mahone to ho vory last, 1¢ they do, tho Indepcnident maves mant, of which he 18 the leader, will assumg such proportion that the Solid Sotith will b sulid no lonrer. If they do not stand_ by him I do not Dbelleve he will ho'ablo ta eacry Vieginli Showd this happen, tho desire to NnE away from Dourbun rule will be checked, it not killed." Asstining that tha Democrata iwve In und,the Sennta I8 rearganized, what then?” < “If tho Dulntmrnulatulmr?‘flnr olnt, the: ar defeated nut and aut so badly that tho Sout will bo na longor solld, Many of thom have nuknowledged that If they sive in it will bato lose contrul of tho Sonth. ° With this fles, there 13 Little probmbility of thelr doing so. IT the M hono moyeiment ‘18 suceessful It wili chnnge the politics of my Stato, and { think It will by wel- © comed by many people all aver the South.’ ;‘a "l;mm thoro’ Iup;'i‘?uuuuuy nothing todo but to st D “Precisely: and that is what 1 beliove both parties will do for sume time to come, It would not surpriso me In the least If wo wero in session all summer. [ hava not heard any compromiso suguested that I8 foasible."” 'The readons which Senntor Kellogg gives for excluding executivo business will not bear the scrutiny elther of.those who belleve it to b the first duty ot the Senate to dly- charge the executive business, nor even ot those whowre disposed to sympathize most strongly with an Intelligent and promising effort to secure o party advantage, In the first place, the Democratle Senators would not be any move likely to dritt nway from Washinzton in caso the important por- tion uf the exeeutlve busiitess wera transacted than they are now. Asa matter o fact, both Democrats .and Ropublicans. are deserting under palting agreements, and, it tiie dead- lock last till warm. weathar sets in, it Is not probible that there witl be a quorum of the Senate in Washington. The duty of neting upon the President’s nominations Is 1ot cal- euluted to restraiu tho Democrats from quit- ting Washington. They are not Dem- ocratic nominatlons, but Republican nom- inatlons, which are to be - acted upen. The Democrats would "not bo especlally agerieved if there were no confirmatlons. In fact, somo of the -appointments which have been made are of Republicans to take the plnce of Demncrata who held office Inthe South under the last Administration, and to defeat the confirtuation . of such persons the Demociats would be more iuclited to zo home before ‘tho transnction of executive business than they would be afterwards. Morcover, it fs the practice of the Senaté to ask the President formaily before adjourn- {nez whether hie has nny further commnniea- tions to mnke, and a suficient number of nominations could be hold In ubeyance to en- able the Republleans to renew thelir struge glo for the possession aof the Scnnto offices, “I'he prospect of Democratic absenteelsm’ Is not, therofore, a sufticlent cause for exclud- ing all consideratfon of exccutivo business. In the second pince, It Is within the power of the Domocrats to deprive the Senate of a quortum at any time when it shall become necessary to do this ns the only means to de- feat the Republlean project of electing new oficers, As tha Senate stands, thero are thirty-elght Senators on the Republican slde and the same number on the Demacratic side, when all are present. 'The Constitution anthorizes the Vico-President to vote only in cago of tle. ‘The Democrats may at any time rofuse to vote, juat ns the Repubilcans In the Ilouse refuscd to vote last winter whenever the previous question was ordered on n measure which they opposed but had not votes enough to defeat. Whenever the Democrats In the Senate chooso to adopt the same tncties it will be Impossible for tho Republlcans to make any leadwny, beeausa they eannot summon a quornm, The Vice-President’s vote will not avall them In such a case, because thero will benotle, With only thirty-elght votes even when all their members are preseut, itis simply Impossible for. the Rupublicans to curry thelr polnt whoen .the Dewocrats tire of talking as o dllatory mensuve and simply refuse to vote. In such asituntion thereis certainly nothing to be lost by disposing of the exccutive business, for the apprehension that the Demucrats may then go home 1snot any more gorlous than the prospect that they will refus to vote.® It 1s obvlously wiaer to transnct tho publia busineas and risk a dis- ruption of the Scnate by nbsentecism than it Iul t‘(‘) neglect the public business at tho snme risk, BenatorKellogg, speaking for the Republic. an Senntors, really gives away the whole cnso when he snys that “{f the Demacrata let us earry our point, they are defeated ont and out so badly that the South will no longer be solid.” 1f1his Is the case, then it is very certain that the Demoorats will not permit the Republieans to enrry tholr polnt when they can ko easily prevent it. But it isequal- 1y ovident that tho Demncrats have the pow- er to prevent the Republieans from olecting n new set of Senata ofiicers, for they can re- fuse to vote, and thus leave tho Senate with- out & quorum, whenever they chose to do so. Inthis situation, Republican stubbornnees simply menns an {ndeflntt* postponement of oxocutive business, ‘The Southern Demo- crats, lnured ta tho trinlsof o troplcal sum- mer, will probably bo able to hold out over summer ns well as the Northern Republicans In such a cllmato as that of Washington. In the meantime, the Republican Administra-" tlon will be serlously embarrassed aud the public businegs neglectsd by the fallure to M1V up the publie ofiices, ‘The Republican explanation furnished by - Senator Kellogg falls to explain how the Ma- hono movement In VIrginin ov the antl-Bour- bon movement in any Southern State 14 to b nided by the neglect of public businiss, It 15 & notorious fact that the Supreme Court hasbeen reduced to the verge of Incapacity by the permanent disability of two of ta wiembers and the negluct of the Senaty to uffurd the opportulty for Alling the vacanoy that exists, Adjournment of the Court hus occpsfonally been necessary for lack of a quoruim) and now the business of nine oir- cuits la thrown upon alx Jydges, Important and pressing ltigation has been, mnd must necessarily continuato be, delayed with great tnjustice to tho Ntigants, I8 this clreum- stanco calculated toald the Republican party 1 the South or anywhers else? 'I'hers ought to be a United Statys Marshal for the District of Columbls, and agother for the Northern District of IHlinols, Do the Republicaus in the Senate expect to promota the intorests ot their party nnywhera by their refusal to pro- vide such officers? The same question might o ropeated with tho sarie slgnificance In the casaof the other requirements of the Civil Servico which the Senate Is noglecting. The Republican position as detined by Sen- ator Kollogg I8 so.weak as to rovive tho aus- plclon that the fefusal to transact oxecutive business s in obedience to the mandate of Senntor Coukling, and that, in this instance at lenst, the Sotld South s really n political clique_in New York. If this theory be cor- rect, then the Republicans tn the Senate are tobe blamed, not merely for blocking publie business without suficient roason, dut for doing so deliberately with the purposs of pandering to n selfish personal intercst inn single State. The Republican party eannot be convieted of condoning such conduct without serious Injury to el now and in the future. BTAR ROUTE " EXPEDITING." Our Washington dispatches of yestorday contalned & very Interesting table showing Mr. Assistant T'ostmaster-Genersl Brady's goenerous treatment of the ngents of nincty- three star post routes. These routes con- stitute almost exactly 1 per cent of theaggre- ato of post routes, the wholo number being 022, Hut of the toial appropriation of 86,900,000 for the sinr-ronts service, under the Ingentons manipulation of Mr. Brady the contractors on 1 per. cent of the routes pocketed nearly one-half—S2,803,314, 'The amgregate of the original “lettings,” in 1873 of these ninety-thres routes was S77,110, ‘The Increaso to Jan, 1, 1890, by * expediting” was 3,075,005, It Is evident that ex-Presl- ent Hayes wns, during his term of oftice, an exceadingly unsusplelous individual, or he would have taken Mr. Brady’s official nead off on general princlples, on the ground that he must be an Incompotent, a spendthrift, or nrmscal. 1owaerer, let that pass. The table of the famous ninety-three star routes.ls wotthy a more carcful examipatlon and analysis, This analysis will show that the list of prhme * favorlts™ among the star-route contractors is much small- or than nppenrs on a casual exsmina- tlon. Hure Is what It actually shows: J. B, Drice hnd six routes and got $116,526 of the wexpediting*” maney. J. . Miner lind eight rontes and got 8123,287, J. M. Peck had nine routes and got 201,643, J. W. Dorsey had oight routes and got $132,704 J. W, Parker lad seven routes and got $200,020, 0. J. Salisbury had six routes and got S130,054. C. V. Foster had five rontes and got $83,301, T, A, McDevitt had five routes and got $00.811, J. T. Chidester ‘had ono route aud gob 5105000 John A, ‘Walsh lad one route and. got S118,475. Patrigk & Brown. had threo routes and got $t44,003. George H, Platt lhad. one route und 2ob 804,75, C. Cosgrove had oneroute and got £70,312, W, W. Glddings hed two routes and got $#2,080.4 And B, H, Peterson hnd.one route and got $40,201, These fifteen con- tractors were the prime favorits, ‘Chey con- trofled sixty-threa out of the ninéty-three favorit routes and pocketed $1,733,201 of 'the “expediting” monoy out of the total of 2,095,005, or an nvoraze per man of 8115,210, Itiseisy to ses why the * ninety-three” became the fuvorit routes for * expediting.” The nvernge of the urlginal nppropriation for those routes was nbout 87,500 per route, while the avernge of the approprintion for the othnr 9,183 routos twas about 839 per route. It is obvious that $7,500 s amuch hetter bosla for expediting than the paltry sum of $335 The expansive character of sowe of thu primne favorlt contracts is mar- velous, ‘Take that of John A. Walsh, of Arizonn, for Instance. Mr. Walsh’s contract was for 400 miles of sorvice, and the ariginal prico was $18,500, Dut there was gireat necessity for expediting business on thgt line, and 3r. Walsh got hia contract *expedited ™ to the extent ot $118,4751 Mir. J. R. Miner was & prime favorit, Onoof hls original contracts for 250 milos of sorvice required theGovernment to pny him §3,350. But Mr. Miner was enterprising, and he got tho con- tract * expedited * to 870,0001 r. J. W. Parker took one contract to pedidle lottersand newspapers to the snvngea in the Indian Terrl- tory over 723 miles of road for $0,330, But the youngIndians, and theold Indians, nodoubt, for that matter, thirsted for news, ete., aud Mr. Parker could not find it In his heart to deny them, Accordingly he got his contract expedited,” tromondously, so to speak, up to the grand total of $180,302! It is hardly necessary to rem ind the reader that Mr, Par- ker Is ohe of the immortal fifteen whose numes will livo forever in star-route fame of blessed memory. e Is, no doubt, In Wash- ington protesting azainst being blackmalled. But shoutlng * blackmaii’ frantleally wiil hardly help matters atthls stnge of the ganie, 1t i3 too much to hupe, porhops, that the fit- teen wili be sent to the Tenitentiary. But doubtless it is safe to sny thot the curtain will be rung down on * expediting.” “Some new method of rebbing the taxpayers witl have to be dovised, HOW TO RELIEVE THE BUPREXE COURT, I'ho Supreme Court of the United States, 18 just now greatly embarrassed. Nowinally the Court consists of nine Judges; but two of thesa are. disabled, and there is one va- caucy, caused by the resiguation of Justlce Swayne, This reduces the active forco on the Bench to six Justices, who -hava to dls- pose of all the business before the Court,and also to attend the business on thetr respective clreuits. ‘Cheso clreuits have nowno Justices assigned to them, Justlce Strong hus, In an articlo in the North Amertean Rovlew, disoussed the long- mooted question of how to reltove tho Su- preme Court. ‘Tha number of ¢ases naw ane nually taken tothat Court1sbeyond precedent ~—and the munber I8 increasing, Of course the politiclan and tha place-hunter’s firat thought Is to Incronse the number of office- holders upan the slightest possible pretoxt. ‘Phere I8 & ulass of members of the Daralso who think the only way to relleve the Conrt 13 to appoint more Judges nmi wmake courts u8 numerouy as possible, and to have all the dockets erowded, Justice Strong, who was an able and most Industrlous member of the Court, does not think thut an incrense of the number of Judges offars any eseaps from the great inass of business put upon the Court. He argues that a Court of nine Judges wlil disposs ofas munoh busingss as one of twvelve Juages, ‘Che Increase In the number of Judges will serve to lengthen the time consumed In consuita. tions, will lengthen and multiply the discus- slonsamong the Judges, and deloynnd defeat sgreements, loading {o divistons of the Court and to the writing of dissenting aplnions, ‘[ho only rellef that an increass lu the nuw- ber of Judges would afford” would be the division among » greater number of persons of the labor ot writing oplnjons, and this re liet yudge Strong does not seem o regard ng of snv serlous huvortance, Nur does he discovor in the so-called Southern schieme of a Lourt conalsiing of twenty-una Juages, sitting In the firstIne stance a8 thrua Courts, with the decisions of at loast two of thesd'tribuuals to be conours rent and final, anything which promises much rellef, thuugh out of such an arranke- went there wust grow complicatlony, delays, and an sccumulation of businesa Judge Strong, speaking from long expert once aa a wember of the Coutt, and perlectly cognlzaut of all the clycuwstauces, suRgeals the rewnedy which hasboen ropestedly pro. sented and discussed in Tur TAouNr, That romedy is the areation of additional Cireuit Courts nnd the establishmuent of an Ap- pollate Court In each of the pres ont clrenits, ench of theso Appellate Courts to he composed of the severl Circuit Judges in that diatrict, together with the Justice of the Supreme Court wha may Dbo assigned to that circult, To theso inter- medinte Appellate Courts would be taken all appeals, To understand the present condl- tlon of business, Justica Strong alves some figures as to its growth In the time when Juhn Morshnll was Chief Justice the Court Iind & docket of less than fifty cuses n year. Even ns late a8 1830, when Tancy became Chiet Justlee, the docket contained only thirty-seven cases, and during $ho five years from 1845 to 1850 the nuniber nveraged sev- enty-nine. The Court was then nccustomed to meot It Decembor and ahle to finish its buainess and adjourn in March, The several Justlces were then nbla to visit thelr sevoral circuits durlng the vemninder of the year, From 1875 to 1820 the business had so in- crensed that the averago number of cnses annunlly was 801, requiring’ the Judges to sit in Washington saven months ln the year, with the additional*work on their ciroults, Despita all their lnbor, tho business has been fn nrrear, the time to havo n-cnse reach & hearlng oxtendmg to an average of thtce years, T . He polnts ont also that the great majority of cnses taken to the Supremo Court are not of a charncter Invulyiug coustitutional ques- tlons, or srising under National laws, They aro cnses which ordinarily nre the sameas thosa tried befora the Courts of the States, but find their way to the Farlerul Courts be- cause one, or some, or all of the parties are eltizens of différent States, or are allens, In tha absence of that clrcumstanco thesc cases would bo heard in tho State Court. All the ‘corporations in tho country have stock- ‘lioldors reslding In different States,' ande thorefore, the corporntions can claim to have allsuits to which they are parties heard in the United Statesinstead of the Stata Courts,’ The establishment of these Appellate Cotirts, one in each elrenit, wonld result in the final disposition of mostof these cases promptly. No onc of these Courts would have more business than it could attend to and dispose of finnlly at cnch term. This wonid lenve to bo taken to tho Supreme Court only those questlons of highest impor- tance, and whieh, (n addition to the cnsesof original Jurlsdiction, shoufd involve consti: tutional questions and matters nrising under tho construction of United States lnws, That this was the original intentlon In estabilsh- ing the Suprome Court, there can be no ques- tlon, because it was not until n comparatively lato day that tho Federal Couris were re- sorted to for the purpose of collecting debts due gn open accounts and prom!ssory notes. ¥hile thls mode of relleving the Supreme Court wil commend itsalf to the judgment of the legal profession genernlly, there Is n clnas of shysters and barrators who will op- pose It, because their Intercsts ara In the multipticity of appeals and the longest de- lays of justice, - 'This was' shown by the netion of thisclass of lnwyers in the Leglsla- ture of this State, who have boen endeavor- ing since Inst January to push a law throngh glving nntinited apveals in all kindsof enses from Justices of the Pence to the Supremo Courtof thisState, Thay demand that an ap- penl may betaken fromn avery judgment from the Justlce Court to the County, tho Clreult, and tho Appellate Court to the Supreme Court, and that tho progress of each case shall bo marked hy a'iritten opinion ench thmo n declslon shall bd made. ‘The Supreme Court of IMinois was burdened by an accumulation of business, just ns the Supreme Court of the TUnited States niow |s, and obtaliied rolief by the establish- mentotintermedinte Appelinte Conrts, whose judgments wera mide final in certnin classes of cases.

DRUGGED 'WINES OF FRANCE, Juat now the peopleof France ara horrified by supposed revelatlons of the dangers ro- sulting fromn the wse pf Ameriean pork. A Jettor we publishexd & fow days ago from an Ameriean In France states that the effort to prejudice the peoplo agalnst Amerlean pork extends oven to riyging bells through the vile Iages, giving warnlng against American hog- naat In all ita forms.

France has begn In the past the great pro- ducer ot wines, ‘but of late years the phyllox era has committed the widest ravages and destrnyed tha once great vineyards of!: France.
