HEVOLUTL PROCEEDINGS POSSINLE. If, by any hook or erook, the democrats in the lower house should instruct their to enter a majority of democratic the roll of the I fuy-first congr able that the when that body convenes in extra session in December of next year, It erally understood, but the best parliamentarians in Washington say that a single objection to the swearing in of umewmber of the house will staud him aside, subject to the decision of th contest, which must take the regular course, The most candid and better class of demo in the house, say 1t is better that their party should ot try to count in a majority of the next house, and advising Trankness and an immedi knowicdgement that the republicans nize the Iifty-first congress.

If 4 mem ber appears upon the call of the clerk, whose right tothe Seat is questioned, a member whose title is unquestioned may rise und ob ject to the oath being administered, and he must stand aside, Sowe of the shrewdest amd oldest republican members - th who are clected 1o the next congress, that they propose to object to the swe in of the de uts, who are claiming tion, in_one district in cach of the s and, North C Virginia, mes on it is prob will be a tormy scenc is not ge arc, howe city, ole es of rolina, Lowsiana, Ten und three in = West in_all eight — where the republicans have undoubtedly elected members. 1f the governors in these states should ssue certificates to these democrats, they will, therofore, not be permitted to take theoath. It may be claimed by democrats that this objocting process can be conducted on both sides of the house, and that as {ust as the republicans object to a demoerat tak ing the oath the democrats can object to a republican, which will have the effect of making a stand-off, There is nothing in this, however, as every republican who will pre sent himself for the admimstration of the oath will have a perfect right to receive it, and it will amount to a public revolution for' the democrals, merely 1o “get even,” object ing to the swearing in of men against whom there is not the slichtest real ovjection. 1f all these cight districts were given over to the democrats the democratic party would have a yof onc in the next house But there is not one chance in tifty that all these districts can be stolen, notone chance in o hundred that all of thew'could be held, even 1f the demoeratic governors issue cer tificates to their candidates for congress. In the event of & wholesale challenge to the swearing in of democrats who have no right to take the oath, it is vossible that the demo cratic side of the house will refuse to act with th iblicans, and that they will leaye the hall of the house of represcntatives and establish in an independent body . P'resi dent Hurrison, however, would undoubtedly recognize the body that’ remained, and only its acts could be made legal. SACKVILLE GONE TO PARIS.

The punishment was greater than that for burglary, a crime from which the people of Chicago had suffered severely. Mr. Goldzier said ho did not want the jurors to treat the law with conteinpt, but its character should be taken into consideration. Hronek’s defense, Mr, Goldzier said, would be simple. After the Haymarket riot many anarchists, knowing their guilt, fled the city. ‘Among these was a man named Karafiat, about whom little is known, except that he was employed in the rolling mill. Karaflat cailed at Hronek's house ‘and left a box containing dynamite, which he said he would call” for the next He never came back, but left city, und Hronck was compelled to keep the stuff.

His acquaintance with Hronek was made at an anarchist meeting just after the Haymarket massacre, *On the last Sunday in Ma¥ [ went to his house,” said Chleboun. “He showed me a pla which he had made for burning a lumb yard. He showed me some iron and tin and told me he could get dynamite at Chapek’s house to fill them.” A tin can, about five inches high, 13¢ in dia- meter, and containing a smaller can _in the nter, was produced. It was covered with prefty paper picture, and was labelled Cure for Ricumatism.” Chleboun said that some of the bombs were like this, and then three iron gas-pipe bowmbs W produced and identified as being like the others ‘shown by Hrouek. All the bombs shown had yellow fuses pro- scting from them. The lavgest was about ouneand a quarter inches in diasmeter and about eight inches in length, Another was about two inches in diameter by thres in lenisth, and the third was about one inch diumeter by four inches long.

On the way back Hronek talked about a plan to blow up Judge Grinnell's house. He said that if the judge could not be killed any other way he would 0 into the court roow and throw a bomb at L, and if the police interfered he would have a bomb for them. He swd he had a splendid opportunity to kill Bontield onc and was sorry he was not prepared at th time to do it.

The lettor in the Times, after quoting Webster's definition of the word, s ““The case agalust the words ‘public ben- efit was put in o nutshell by the pertineat question addressed by the foreman of the jury to the judge ‘Can it possibly be for the public good to publish a libel#* The reply of Mr. Justice Denman, which enabled the jury to give a verdiet in accordance with their inclinations, simply amounts to an as. sertion thav tho act of parliament contom- plated something different to the ordinary meaning conveyed by the word.” The letter concludgs by ealling attention to the fact that the pending bill before par- liament substitutes the words *‘public con corn” for “‘publia benefit,” thus shutting out from begefit anything in the nature of a private scandal or irrelevant public attacks upon personal character, but relieving rep ters from the invidious, and indeed impossi- ble, task of discriminating between that por- tion of the speech which is and that portion which is not for public advantage or profit The committee then expresses the opinion that the word “concern” in the place of the word “bencfits” may be preserved w the bill against a notice filed in the commous to re- place the word “benetits.” e HARRISON'S SOUTHERN POLICY.

When the surprise and disappointment which some of your people have felt over the result has passed away, and _they give some thought to the situation, I think they will be as much surprised as I am that they should,in thought or specch, imputo to me an unfriend- liness toward the south.
