The New York police very rudely interrupted a cock fight in an aristocratic gentleman's dining room in New York City.

There is misunderstanding or skulduggery in that Massachusetts senatorial contest, either of which will cause deplorable results.

If Freddie Gebhardt keeps on the way he is going all of us will begin to like him. Lethiin whip a few reporters and talk as he does in the interview republished this morning and we will begin to think there is some man in him.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says the Bepublican prospects are steadily improving in Ohio. So they have been in Indiana since the election, and on the double quick now that the Democratic legislature is in session.

The hotel fires have stimulated the New York authorities into an inspection of the hotels of that city, many of which were found to be inadequately protected from fire and poorly supplied with means of escape in the event of their taking fire. The proprietors of several hotels have been ordered to make the necessary improvements.

There were two cablegrams from England night before last which did not consist. One stated that Derby said it was difficult to speak of the future of Canada without the appearance of exaggeration, so promising was the outlook for the dominion. The for $2,000,000 grew out of their trade with Canada.

And now the epidemic has taken the shape of explosions. A Calcium light machine in a Milwaukee theater killed two men, a steamboat boiler in Oregon a half dozen, a locomotive iif Texas three, and fire damp in a mine two persons. These were reported yesterday morning. This morning the reader learns that forty persons were killed at Amsterdam by a powder explosion. "What next?

The New York Tribune, speaking of the efforts of the prohibitionists in IMissouii, says: "The advocates of temperance are evidently preparing for another defeat. A more unpromising state for testing the sense of the people on the question could not be found in the union. If put to a vote it will buried under such a majority that a score of years will be necessary to dig it out. But a Prohibitionist seems to enjoy defeat more than, any other man unless it be a Democrat."

The "Oeniocrats at Indianapolis are having inuoh trouble among themselves and it looks as if there would be a bolt from the party caucus on Senator Brown's bill, changing the manner of selecting the trustees of the benevolent institutions. Four years ago tha Democrats passed the law putting the appointing power in the hands of the governor with the advice and consent of the senate,. Now however the governor happens to be a Republican and it is attempted to make the trustees elective officers of the legislature. A vote in the senate yesterday showed that there wero several Democratic senators who do not propose to abide by the caucus action.

Governor Pattison was elected in Pennsylvania as a great reformer. His inaugural address was so replete with elevated reform views that the associated press sent two columns of it to the country. But like the Democratic party's pretensions for civil service reform Governor Pattison's reforming spirit does not remain with him at the sticking point. Among his first appointments is that of "Lew" Cassidv for attorney general, a man whose name is in such repute as a political trickster that during the campaign Governor I'attison for his own sake found it necessary" to deny the report that he would appoint Cassidv to the olfice. The pressure of the hordes, however, was too much for the "reform" governor and he not only eats his own promises regarding reform, but gives himself the lie direct.

The Republicans of the house in Washington held a caucus yesterday, which was fully attended, and which determined on a polic/ regarding a revision of the tariff that when carried out will result in much good both to the country and to the party. It was decided to take up the tariff bill Tuesday of next week, and insist upon proceeding with its consideration until passed. It was stated in the caucus that the bill prepared by the ways and

means committee would cause a reduction of $20,000,000 in the revenue from customs duties, $12,000,000 of which would be from the reduction of the duty on sugar. The caucus was harmonious, fully attended and furnished evidence to the friends of the party that its representatives in congress intend that the will of the people shall be observed. A law looking to a reform in the civil, service has been passed. The appropriations have been curtailed, and now we are to have a revision of the tariff, giving additional relief.

The Republican national committee took one step in the right direction and should have followed it with another by eliminating the "rotten borough" system of representation. The committee in obedience to the instruction of the Chicago convention adopted the plan of choosing delegates by congressional districts and did away with the unit rule in governing the action of delegates in the convention. By the selection of delegates according to con gressional districts each locality will be given a direct voice in the convention. It has been the custom of the Republican party to allow a full representation not only from the Democratic states, but from the territories where there is no vote for president. This is the extreme of liberality and it is liable to cause very bad resul ts. There are almost enough delegates from the undisputed Democratic states and the territories combined to control the nomination of a candidate who ..would not receive an electoral vote from the states and ter ritories nominating him. Delegations from these states and territories have as a rule been the instruments of the machine in the proceedings of the conventions, and the committee should have changed the basis of representation so that the states giving substantial support to the ticket might have a controlling voice in nominating it.

Professional Reformers.

Indianapolis Journal. The Philadelphia Press sadly remarks: "Governor P.nttison has a great career be hind him." Alack aday! It was ever thus with professional "reformers."

A City's Industry.

Toledo Blade. Many people in Illinois are insisting that once in six years is often enough for the legislature to meet. But how are the people of Springfield to live between times?

Indigenous Talent.

Philadelphia Times. It will surprise some of the Democratic organs to discover that Treasurer Polk, of Tennessee, is really in jail—a place popularly supposed to be monopolized by the frisky carpet-bagger.

Democratic Eoonomy.

Pojt-Dispatch. Ben Butler has already saved the slate of Massachusetts $25 by stopping superfluous newspaper subscriptions. This will almost pay the composition bill for the prlntlLg of his message.

LITEBARY.

February 15petfs wrcrr ar- BflnpuBiuiiTm which six prominent theologians, representing as many religious denominations, give expression to their views upon the question of the "Revision of Creeds." Prof. Alexander AVmchell, in an article entitled "The Experiment of Universal Suffrage," institutes a profound inquiry into the essential conditions of stable popular government, which he finds to be, substantially, virtue and intelligence but these conditions, he maintains, are absolutely unattainable under our existing political system, where an electorate either ignorant or Yicious, or both, by the mere force of superior numbers, practically nullifies the suffrages of the better and wiser portion of the people, whose right to control the government of the commonwealth is grounded in the very nature of things. Bishop McQuaid writes of "The Decay of Protestantism," and in essaying to prove his thesis, makes a very adroit use of the admissions of protestant writers. "The Political Situation" is the joint title of two articles, the one by Horatio Seymour, the other by Geo. S. Boutwell, who offer their respective views upon the causes of the recent overthiow of the Republican party. An article by D. A. Sargent, on "Physical Education in Colleges," treats a subject of prime importance to the welfare of the youths in our higher educational institutions. Finally, there are two articles on "The Standard Oil Company," Senator Camden, of "West Virginia, defending that corporation against its assailants, and John C. Welch setting forth the reasons for condemning it as a dangerous monopoly. Published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York

LADIES' FLORAL CABINET. The January Ladies'Floral Cabinet (New York), opens its twelfth year with many things to please our lady .leaders, especially those who cultivate flowers in-doors or in the garden. The openillustration is of the Ressellia Juncea, and this valued basket plant is commended for more general use. The Hybrid Amaryllis is given a large illustration, and studious readers will ponder long over an article entitled "Do Plants Think." E. T. Honjo's Japanese article this month on "New Year's Day in Japan," is timely, and the home circle will be quick to utilize the suggestions given in an article on "Some Amusements," what to do long winter evenings. The ladies will linger over the illustrated department of "Home Decorations," for all that ap pears there is prepared specially for the Floral Cabinet's pages. The music this month is Gatty's song, made popular this winter by being sung by Emma Thursby, entitled "In a Quaint Old Village."

THE MODERN AGE.—The February number of The Modern Age lies before us, and is fully up to the standard created by the first number.

The number opens with the last half of Cousin Jerome's Fortune, a story which is really a masterpiece. The second installment of Eliezer and Nephtaly follows, and while, perhaps, not destined to please the multitude, is remarkable in the purity and sweetness of its plot and language. Mr. Walter Besant is the author of the Humbling of the Memblings, a bright and amusing narrative of English life. My Husband's Sighs, from the Italian, and Statan's Carbuncle,a Moorish tale, translated from the Spanish, belong to the class of lighter fiction, the latter savoring somewhat of the Arabian Nights. The Philistine Turns, is a

"sestheticism."-1 Napoleonand the Princess de Chimay, gives ns a glimpse at the domestic life of the great emperor, and the article, entitled Misa Burney's Novels, will serve to correct some wrong impression in regard to her works. "Natural Religion," contains some beautiful thoughts. Some bits of poetry, and the departments, •Stage and Studio," "Sayings and Doings," and "Books and Book Men, complete the table of contents. Altogether, this issue of The Modern Age is aninteresting one. It is published at $1.60 a year, by The Modern Age Publishing company, of Buffalo, New York.

The selectmen want to please the firemen and the old soldiers, but they are stopped short by the clergyman's no tice, and now talk of submitting the question to a town meeting.

THE AMENDMENTS^

IM-

The Democratic Caucus fi the agement of the Ben^olent Institutions. i-J- tfft''

INDIANAPOLIS,

tfan. 19.—in the sen-

senate to-day Mr. Bowers, l-om a majority of the judiciary cpamittee reported that, in accordance with resolution of the senate it has samined the journals of the last genejal assembly as to proper record of lie proposed constitutional amendments, that no such record can be foundland no entry, as commended bythsonstitution, by which the committee cm determine what said propositions Wfre, or that either house referied or intended to re for any proposition to amud the constitution to this assemfly. Spann, Bell, Brown, McCullough, VanVorhis,

Mr. Bundy, from the minority of said committee, reported (the entries as found on the journ^of the two houses in the sessions 1881, and copies of the joint resolutions proposing to amend the constitution as on file in the secretary of sate's office, and published in the laws. It did not find they were referred to

tkis

general

assembly in words on thl journal of either house, but the proviions of the constitutional amendment have been substantially complied wih and are properly before this generjl assembly, signed "by Messrs. Buncfr .and Graham.

Mr. Bundy moved that these rereports be made the special order for next Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The motion was creed to.

The following is the acion in the heuse: Mr. McMullen, from th^ judiciary committee, returned a resolution authorizing the committee to inquire into the proposed constitutidual amendments, reported an examination of the journal of the two houses and find the amendments are not properly en tered, and not referred to tns general assembly assembly according to the manner laid down in the cqistitution. This report was signed by Messrs. McMullen, Heffron, Wilson of tnox, and Wilson of Marion.

Mr. Frazee, from a minoijty of said committee, submitted a minority report. It reported these amendments on file in the secretary of state's office, and properly referred to thil general assembly, signed by Messrs. Adams, Wright, Frazee, Wiley and Stewart.

Mr. Pattison, also, from a minority presented a report somewhat similar to the first one, signed by Mr. Patton and Mr. Jewett.

Then reports were made the special order for Thursday at 10 a. m. The Benvolent Institutions.

The News says: The democratic caucus last night considered the Brown and Wilson bills relative to the government of the benevolent institutions. By a vote of 25 to 23 the Brown bill was adopted. Speeches in favor of the Wilson bill were made by Bynum, Wilson, Jewett, McCullough anc. Howlahd and in favor of the Brown bill by Brown, Voyles, McMullen, Moody and Heffren. The result of the caucus vote, if carried out by the united democratic vote in the legislature, is the ousting of President Fish back from the benevolent institutions. This morning there were signs that the storm was not

report at once the governor's nominations. To this Mr. Brown objected and the roll being called, the vote showed that Benz, Fletcher, Magee and Null voted with the republicans to call up the bill at once. This vote was a surprise to many, and the doubt has arisen whether the Brown bill will have the easy sailing anticipated last night. The resolution was subsequently amended so that the committee waff given until to-morrow morning at 10:15 o'clock to report back the nominations. Senator Magee said to a News reporter that he did not go into the caucus last night and was, therefore, not bound by its actions. He was opposed to the Brown bill and would continue his opposition. He thought the Democratic legislature, had done a wise thing five years ago in putting the nominating power in the governor's hands, and he was in favor of subjecting the benevolent institutions to political jugglery.

FREDDIE INTERVIEWED.

He Doesn't Care aD for Anything or Anybody. The Post-Dispatch has an interview with Gebhardt, of which the following is a part: "Will you go to Memphis?" "I don't know I may jo to Cheyenne I cannot tell. I'm t»veling for pleasure, and I think ha\e the absolute right to go where I pletse." "But the newspapers tank they have the right fb chronicle every movement "And I don't care a -d-»—n for them. I ask nothing from them and want npthing. I do as I please. If a reporter acts properly, all r,ght. If he does not, I'll thrash him, and that is all there is to it." "How do you like St. Loins and the people?" "The climate suits me very well. I like a warm climate. Tie people have not seen, except oi the street and at tlie theater." "But the people, espfcitlly the la dies, are very anxious to fee you."

Mr. Gebhardt made no nmark in re ply to this. "And the anxiety to see ?ou, among the ladies, is fully as great as it is to see Mrs. Langtry at the thaler." "I was at the theater lastnight." '•And, of course, you roticed that you were stared at by every man and woman in the house?" "I don't care a nfor staring. I'm used to that kind of tling. It does not annoy me in the least I used to it. If anybody thinks ie or she can annoy me by staring, wlr, let them try it, that is all. It does not annoy me at all, and if it does th starers any good let them try it as leng as they like." "You are well accustoned to it?" "Yes so well that I (on't care a d—n about it."

How do you intend -o pass your time "Oh, I take a walk nowind then. I find ways of doing it." "Have you been invitid to any of the clubs?" "No, I never accept iivitations to clubs when I am out in this way. I want to be let alone. I an take care of myself." "Your walk yesterdaj was not a very pleasant one." "No the crowd follcrved us and stared at us, so that it mtde the thing extremely unpleasant. I did not care, but—" and Freddy hesitaced. He was probably going to say tha it annoyed Mrs. Langtry, but he studioiBly refrained from all mention of hername. "You see, said he, "all kinds of annoyances have been heaped upu me and all kinds of statements maoe." "Yes, and amongothers, theoie that

I was at college in Europe. I was an under-gradoate at Oxford. But they say what they like, and I'm sure I don't care."

A Fire-Eater Dines on Lead. Territorial Enterprise. Two weeks agef a cowboy made a wager on the Btreets of Missoula, Montana, that he could ride hi* horse into every room in Sam Arthur's hotel, and, upon being taken np, proceeded to perform the feat After he had ridden into the house some one informed Mr. Arthur of his intention and he proceeded to investi'mto the matter, pistol in hand. Entering the hotel he found the cowboy in the act ot riding up stairs and ordered him out of the house. The cowboy informed Sam of his bet, and said he proposed to win it. One word brought on another, until pistols were drawn, and the cowboy emptied his revolver at Mr. Arthur, but fortunately missed him every shot Sam being full of grit and pretty handy with the stooting-iron, emptiea two six-shooters and discharged two loads from a third one, making fourteen shots in all, each of which struck the cowboy, the fourteenth shot bringing him to the ground. The coroner jury exonerated Mr. Arthur upon the ground of justifiable homicide.

Popularity of the Prodigal. Boston Post, Jan. 13 Some time last summer the Rev. W. H. Ryder, pastor of the First Parish Universalist church of Maiden, resigned his pastorship and went to Cincinnati. Since then the society has had occasional preaching on the Sabbath by visiting clergymen. Ten or twelve of these gentlemen have read in their selections from the Scriptures the parable of the prodigal son, and six of them have preached sermons from the parable. The members of the congregation are beginning to wonder who the prodigal is, and why he don't return.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.

Strong:, Clean, Enterprising

TheLargett Circulation Among the Best People.

Rejoicing with its readers in the better times which reign throughout the country, THE TRIBUNE finds itself at the beginning of a new business year enjoying its own fair share of the perity and prepared to ma.

al editions thoroughly complete, entertaining and valuable. The first aim of THE TRIBUNE is to be the best and foremost newspaper in America. It has its own telegrapn line to Washington, it uses the cables freely, ,and it scours the world for the news, printing all that is usefuh It tells what fs worth it in detail. The rest is put into bright short paragraphs. Its contents are fresh, choice, varied and thoroughly unobjectionable In every respect. THE TRIBUNE has long enjoyed the largest circulation among the best people. It intends to let no rival usurp its place. THE TRIBUNE is the organ of no individual, of no faction or clique, and of no interest adverse to the public good. It knows no service other than that of the people.

THE TRIBUNE believes the well-being oi the country will be best preserved by keeping its Government in Republican hands. But it does not believe in Ring Rule, Bossism or Corruption in Oflice. I has done hard work, and taken great risks, in efforts to purify the Republican party. It expects to continue in that course, wherever or whenever this may seem needful—not doubting that this is the true road to a worthy Republican success in 1884.

Every year THE TRIBUNE offers, to subscribers a few premium books of marked and standard merit. The terms are usually so arranged that either the paper or the book is a gift to the subscriber.

A Splendid Work For Families. For 1883 THE TRIBUNE offers a new premium. WOOD'S HOUSEHOLD PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, HYGIENE AND SURGERY, 2 vols., 819 and 942 pp., profusely illustrated, bound in cloth, and^ sold bjf
