Some i »marks made by Chairman Taube- is correctly quoted—are of the -improbable, the incoherent, the hys- 1 sort—such, for instance, as the "prophesy that never again would the elec: toral vote of any state west of the Mis ' sippt river be cast for a republican Presi-} dential candidate—but one of his utterances “has in {t an element of probability which should not be disregarded, it is in the state- ment that the populists expect to hold the balance of power in both branches of Con- gress after March 4, 1805. That such a con- dition of affairs may come to pass is of ‘coutse possible and ft is quite within the ‘pounds of reasonable conjecture to imagine “that in the ordinary course of events the controlling votes in the Fifty-fourth Con- gress will be populist votes, but because preither the democrats or republicans have a ¢lear majority of the House it does not fol- at the populists will be powerful h to name the speaker and thus shape mittees and the legislative proposi- ions that spring therefrom.

The United States has, during fhe past year or so, suffered much from many adverse Influences, but the damage ‘wrought thus far—from which complete re- is not likely within two or three years—will be as nothing compared with What may be looked for should the wildest theorists of the nineteenth century secure ssional control.

The law provides a way in Which good citizens may proceed with com- fort and propriety, and the authorities here will doubtless see to it that the great and powerful shall have no more of improper priv than ts accorded the weakest and most humble of individuals. Rational peo- ple may wénder because the Baltimore and Ghio Company is not satisfidd with what it has or with what may willingly be given it. From the time of its coming into this city it has always been a beneficiary, and has, consistently, given as little as possible in return for the valuable gifts bestowed upon it by this community. It is nearly three years since the Baltimore and Ohio orney cofrpany : THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, OOTOBER 24, 1894—TWELVE PAGES, the smallest and least valuable coins to gifts of more than a hundred thousand dol- lars. There is nothing like this in China; in that strange land there seems to have been little else than lethargy among the com- mon people; and when the common people take no interest in a war in which their national prestige is at stake then nothing but defeat can be looked for. Official in- formation from China shows conclusively that the same feeling of indifference or of cowardice prevails in the army and navy. Admiral Ting was defeated at the battle of the Yalu because, as he reports, seven of his ships took no part In the battle but sought safety in flight. If the Chinese are only half as shrewd as they have hitherto been credited with being they are even now busily engaged in trying to placate the Jap- anese. —__+ oe —__—_ The authoritative announcement by the amiable and ir‘eiligent Mr. C. J. Searcy that the robbc of the Adams Express car in Virginia me days ago was ac- complished by Mr. Morganfield and him- self, alone and urassisted, causes the ob- server of events to pause and seriously consider a matter which such a statement brings prominently forward. It will be re- membered that the express messenger, the engineer and fireman, and all the pas- sengers agreed that there were eight men, neither more nor less, in the gang that held up the train. The fact that the porter who was chased into the car closet solemnly alleged that there were eighty need not be takea into consideration, now. It is very well known that some persons are prone to see double under certain circumstances which usually exist along about. 2 o'clock in the morning and surround such things as the moon and the keyhole, but the con- ditions necessary to bring about such an exaggeration of the vision were not present en the night of the robbery, as it is well known from the statements of the passen- gers themselves that there was but one little pocket pistol among them. In as large a crowd as that {t would have required the contcnts of many pocket pistols to make every member of tt look at objects binocularly, so to speak; so we must look elsewhere for the reason which produced synchronously the phenomena of quadruple sight in so many persons of such different temperaments. The National Academy of Sciences might find in the incident an op- portunity for research of value alike to its members and the public. It would be in- tensely interesting to ascertain what the effect on the passenger: ion would be if ten men with ten guns were to carry ona Pocturnal shooting match outside of a looted train when two men with one gun caused over threescore honest and intelligent citi- tens to see eight of them. We know the ef- fects of light and darkness upon the eye and will wait with feverish eagerness to learn the detinite effect upon it of fright and terror. The savants cannot get to work upon the subject too soon to suit an alto- gether anxious public. see -— The Star is waiting patiently to hear from the New York Sun as to the recent and emphatic declaration of independence Fromulgated by J. Adam Bede, United States Marshal for the district of Minne- sota, When Mr. Bede’s nomination was before the Senate, the Sun was pleased to amuse itself by frequent and generally- humorous reference to him wh Christian name it had converted into now that Mr. Bede has done a noteworthy deed it ignores him completely and fails to give him the credit which he is clearly entitled. The Sun professes to ad- mire the active partisan and only rarely does it fail to sing the praises of the prac- tical politician, yet it permits a great op- portunity to pass by unimproved. That Mr. Bede is a democratic partisan of the phe- nomenal sort is proven conclusively by his resigning a govd office so that he may move unfettered into the heat of the fray. P dent Cleveland announced some years ago his opposition to active participation in politics by federal office-holders and he recently called attention to that ancient ukase of his. Some of the office-holders took the hint while others did not. Mr. ede stands, solitary and alone, the only oifice-holder who was bold enough to re- sign his commision that he might partici- pate, as a democrat, in the campaign, In times gone by The Sun has referred sar- castically to the nether garments of “Jadam” Bede—the garments of birch-bark. It is possible that “Jadam” Bede's birch- bark pants may t be the demvcratic dri- flamme in the northwest. - ee The New York Sun graciously refrains from ridiculing Lemuel li Quigg when he comes forward with a promise to work against the income tax. +e —___- It would be interesting, though perhaps not important, to know what Mr. Joan Jemes Howard thinks of this country. > ee Things are running about as usual in New Yerk.

If any effort has been made to redeem that promise neither the committee in question nor the general public are aware of it. But it is a matter of record that the company is doing the best it can to acquire new rights @t grade without re- ard for law ~~ oe There were sixty-four men employed on the city post-office building today and while they did what they could to help the work ©f construction along they at the same time showed how extremely liberal The Star has been in its estimates as to when the build- ing would probably be ready for post-office Purposes. Using the same method of com- putation as has been employed since the work of keeping @ record was begun, it is figured out that sixty-four industrious men would be out of a job on December 25, 1896. ‘Those figures are, however, admittedly de- ceptive. for, unless all the signs go wrong, the city post-office bullding—which has been two years, eight months and four days tn Teaching Its present stage—will not be realy for occupancy earlier than August 17, 1906. 0 With the utmost respect for the German Emperor's abilities, we doubt very much whether the “Hong to Aegir” will be any- thing like the popular success that “The Two Little Gtris in Blue” was. —->—____ A few remarkably-patriotic Chinamen are engaged in vigorously denying the rumor that China ts about to sue for peace and is willing to pay Japan liberal indemnity if that now-exultant nation will only call off its dogs of war. In view of the difficulty with which news is gathered in the two countries in question, and of the equally Sreat difficulty with which it secures trans- mission, positive statements are entirely out of place. It Is, however, quite reason- abje to remark that {f China Is not endeav- oring chrysanthemum enthusiasm this reason will not be what it once was. nd The various states are being actively stumped.
