A slender majority thus IBS,and mf
up of somp half-breeds, a few stalw.i
several Greenbacljers and two re
tionists, v?ill find itself opposed
solid minority possessing such It
as Randall, Hewitt, Carlisle, Blac
and a dozen others, all head and ..
ders above the strongest men t
other side. This, taken togethe. .
selection of a Speaker who is not a ^
liamentarian, nor even a ready, clear
headed man, presents an unpromising
outlook for the majority.
In the determination of the Speak
ership contest we had another illustra
tion of the magic of the Cameron touch
in Pennsylvania politics;.', The,.delega
tion from that state was*, substantially
solid fpr Hiscock until Dfifojthe.son of
his illustrious father, tooff tlrem in hand
and won them away frpnj.4iffeir f ositive
pledges. What pvonpses'Ubtuade of fa
vors from the administration can only
be guessed at. Anyhow the Speaker
may be said jio owe his elevation to the
Cameron influence, whether ho recog
nises it or not. According to all ae-
con®.te he has an usually difficult and
labufious task in the arrangement of
the Committees, and an intimate confi
dential friend of his said recently that
it is likely to be two weeks before they
are announced. There never has been
more of a struggle on the part of mem-
berftio got on favorite and important
ittees, and not a little ill-feeling
_?B|ay been created by. Jhe con-
jcti§g.clj[ims of those who ' want the
.. Old members think they
to liave the preference over new
which claim new. members
are not ready to concede; V .The Indi
ana republican-members have .been in
nn uncomfortable stot&.pf Juried for
some days, because they fajled to sup-'
pprt Keifer. In sticking to Orth sp.
lgRg they fear they have killed the,
goose. Orth would not let them leave
him as he set strong.hopes upon the
dask-horse hypothesis, and now there is
some doubt whether Indiana will get a
single important chairmanship. One
of the delegation lately remarked that
Indiana would have to go' Democratic
again to inspire a little greater respect
in Republican councils.
After President Arthur gets his Cab
inet disposed of it is understood that
ho will take np the Public Igjfnter con
test and select a successor for Defrees.

The progressive representatives of
the negro race in the south seem to
have made progress in the wrong direc
tion. Smith was expelled from West
Point, Whitaker has undergone trial
for clipping his own ears to make capi
tal, Flipper is being tried by court mar
shal for embezzling pubiie'funds, and
Hutchins, the Georgia colored lawyer,
has been tried and convicted of larceny
after trust. Verily, this kind of pro
gression will certainly act as a draw
back.
Thebe is a law in force in Kansas
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors in that state,bat
it is discovered tlja$ prohibition does
not prohibit entirely; liquor being sold
in many cities in defiance of the law.
Hence, Gov. St. John has issued a
proclamation offering a reward for the
arrest, with evidence to convict, of any
person guilty of selling or manufactur
ing intoxicating liquors in violation of
the law.
Since 1878 the eagle on our silver
dollars has grown an extra tail feather.
In 1878 the said eagle had 01 Jy seven
tail feathers, but since that time the cie
has been broken, arid the new one gives
the great American eagle eignt tail
feathers. Yet the extra feather does
not give the dollars a particle greater
value, notwithstanding the fact that a
man grows in importance when he gats
“a feather in his cap.”
