It is safe to assume that they will not be able to use the transfer switch the present season. Rall- roads do not obey a state law in a hurry. The only way to learn whether a bill for coining the seigniorage has the approval of President Cleveland 1s to pass it and let it run the gauntlet of a veto. A bill awaiting his signature may be read in a different light by the president than the same bill when merely submitted for introduction in the house. 1t may transpire that the city comptroller ras blundered in ing an issue between city and county In relation to the distribu- tion of taxes and appropriations. In our opinion this city s not paying for anything in the way of maintaining local govern- ment that it can consistently shift upon the shoulders of out-of-town taxpayers. We can afford to let well enough alone. ra It has been intimated that one reason for the rapid fall of telegraph poles in this city Auring the last few weeks may be traced to an anxiety in certain quarters that every- thing possible be done to prevent a new electric lighting company from stringing its wires upon poles already planted. The idls telephone poles might have proved too tempt- ing a bait if left standing much longer. Grow and Quigg, gressmen who were elected at supplemental the two republican con- elections this winter by majorities indicat ing an unexpected revulsion of democratic voters, were the principal actors on the floor of the house on Wednesday. These are the two congressmen who, Major Handy declared only a few days ago, had made a big furore and then dropped completely out of sight The major's sight s evidently falling. It there was sufficient extra work entailed by the prosecution of the Capital National byuk swindles to retain a speclal attorney for that purpose while the district attorney- ship was occupied by a republican, why not also now when a democrat has been ap- pointed to that place?

Commander Kelly listened pa- tiently. Finally he responded to calls for a speech. He did not, however, enter into the spirit of the occasion. He was not there to denouco the millionaires, statesmen and lawmakers of the nation, and he said His platform was, “Do unto others as ve would that others do unto you. He appeared on behalf of his hapless followers, as their special champion. He blamed no party for the deplorable condition his n in. It was a question of humanity, not of politics. Whatever may be said of the folly and futility of Kelly's expedition, it will be admitted by all that he Is a capable leader and a gentleman. s0, en were, THE NEXT CONGRESS. The house of representatives of the Fifty- fourth congress will undoubtedly be republi- can by a very large majority. Very few well-informed democrats, if any, question that this will be the cae, and all men who are able to take an absolutely fair and im- partial view of the situation freely concede it. The south may return about the usual number of democrats, though this is by no means certain, but from the states north of the Mason and Dixon line the probability 1s that the democratic party will send fewer representatives to congress than in almost any year since the war. The substantial reasons for this opinion are to be found in the elections of last fall and of this spring, which clearly indicated a widespread revul- sion of popular sentiment against demo- cratic policy. With as strong an emphasis as was possible under the circumstances the people have declared their utter dissatis- faction with the party in power and mani- ted their eagerness for an opportunity to dislodge it from power. Nobody is so blind or so stupld as not to be able to see and to understand why this is The advent of the democratic party to power, with full control of the leglslative and anchies of the government, fol- lowed a period of almost unparalleld na- tional prosperity. It brought with it a change to almost unprecedented depression, which still continues, and the effects of which will be long felt. Two things have contributed to produce this unfortunate con- dition—tho reckless determination of the de- mocracy to overthrow the policy of protec- tion and the persistent tendency of the con- trolling element of the party toward a finan- clal policy which would debase the currency and seriously impair, if it did not destroy, tho credit of the government. The party has shown itself both incompetent and unwilling to deal with national questions in a broad and patriotic spirit.

THE IMMIGRANT RATE SITUATION. te The immigrant passenger business within the Jurisdiction of the Western Passenger association has for months been an open sore In the railway rate situation, and unless some agreement is reached before the expira- tion of another week it promises to cause the outbreak of a serious rate war, which, should it once be commenced, could scarcely be confined to the immigrant traffic. Any one who reads the accounts of the contro- versy given in the various newspapers whi devote attention to rallway news could not but gather the impression that the whole trouble has been needlessly raised by the refusal of the Uuion Pacific to accept the division oftered by the other roads. He would even be led by some reports to be- lieve that the Union Pacific officials had set out deliberately with a fixed intention of re- jecting every offer of compromise, however reasonable it might be, in order merely to break up the Western Passenger assoclation. There may be some truth in this, but the Union Pacific people tell a different story. They contend that their road has secured control of the great bulk of the immigrant enger trafic by perfectly legitimate means. Tt built up a business by paying liberal commissions to agents for routing immigrants over its line, and naturally ob- jects to losing what has been gained at so great an expense. The Union Pacific re- fused to become a party to the immigrant clearing house agreement, which seeks to apportion the business among the different transcontinental road: For months the Western Passenger assoclation has been en- deavoring to Induce the Union Pacific to enter into an arrangement upon the disputed points, but they have stubbornly refused to concede the 20 per cent of Colorado traflic for which the latter has been holding out. The crisis seems to have been reached last week, when Chairman Caldwell abruptly dismissed the immigration agent at New York with a letter alleging that he was vio- lating his agreement by irregular methods that inured to the benefit of the Union Pacific, and accusing him of conspiring to demoralize the whole immigrant business. The immigration agent gets back at Chair- man Caldwell with a letter in reply, which bas been given equal publicity, charging him with attempting to shift the responsibility for the immigrant rate muddle upon the shoulders of an innocent party, and threat- ening suit In the courts unless the letter of dismissal is promptly withdrawn. The tension having been brought to this point, the roads upon different sides of the controversy are reported to be seeking alll- ances in the east, preparatory to waging a relentless war upon ome another. One authority has it that the Union Pacific has persuaded the Northwestern to stand by it to afford an outlet to Chicago, and that it is also making arrangements by promises of larger shares of the traflic to sccure one or two of the trunk lines as connections to New York. The Western association Is try- ing to hold its members in line, and threatens for the period of the war to go back to the high commissions against the principle of which it is so bitterly opposed. So alarming does the situation appear that the presidents of the Trunk Line association have been summoned to a meeting in New York next week to use their efforts to avert the impending conflict. Should the war be finally precipitated it must involve other traffic besides the immigrants. The out- come will decide the question who is to con- trol the commissions paid for immigration trafllc. A PROJ TED COAL TRUST, It Is reported that the bituminous coal operators are proposing to turn the strike of the miners to account by the formation of a gigantic coal trust. The output of the Hock- ing valley, Ohio, Is now controlled by an or- ganization of operators, and similar arrange- ments exist among operators in Indiana, Tlli- nois and the Pittsburg district. On account of the strike it is expected that a national conference of coal operators will be held early in May, advantage of which Is to be taken to effect an organization of all the operators. ‘It will be seen from the fact that local organizations already exist that thero need be little difficulty In carrying out the scheme for creating and the wonder is that this has not been done be- fore. There is nothing in tue way of its ac- complishment, o far as any legal interfer- ence Is concerned, for the federal anti-trust law is a dead letier, and if the coal opera- tors will in state, New a trust, incorporate some Jorsey, for instance, where combinations of this kind are favored, the coal trust may enjoy a prolonged existence and vastly In creaso tho wealth of the men connected with i, A combination to regulate the production of bituminous coal in the United States, amounting annually to not far from 120,000,- 000 tons, and to regulate the price, would be a more serlous matter to the Amer- fcan people than any other combination that now exists. It would be capable of oppress- ing consumers far more severely than the Sugar trust ever has done, with its annual dividends of $20,000,000, or about dollar for dollar of its actual capital. Coal Is one of the necessities in the use of which it is not possible to practice so close an economy as with every other necessity. The poor family may cut down the daily or weekly allowance of sugar or flour according to the exigency that compels curtallment, but when the de mand comes for coal with which to keep warm it must be met or there Is suffering To tens of thousands of families in this coun- try the question of a suficient supply of coal to make home comfortable In winter s always a serious one and an increase in the cost of that article which would make it also St. Louls Republic (dem.) not vindicate Reed’s methods, and | extent a defeat of that The rule does and is to that Incarnation of small and yet the representatives of the people propose nothing for their suppression, the executive servants of the people make no | vanity. 1t is something to crush Reed's adequate effort to reach them by existing x’-\::,lf:ll:“'r without following his viclous cx- law. 1t Is a condition ot affairs that I8 not | “cyicacy ot (dem): The adoption of creditable to the nation, nor is it to the | the quorum counting rule is not a personal advantage of republican {nstitutions. triumph for Mr. Reed—unless the Maine 5 = statesman glories in the discomfiture of T congres It mar e re of congress WHAT WILL THEY DONEXT? to renson sttt L The second contract of the New Thom- [ New York Sun (dem): It scems to us son-Houston company for electric street | that the democrats in the house of r sentatives should give Hon.
