In Vino, in Veritas.“

The speech made by Rev. Dr. Paxton
the eloquent pastor of the 42d street
Presbyterian church, New York, at the
St. Patrick’s day dinner at Delmoni-
co’s, has created wide surprise and
some have been ungenerous enough to

.charge that its sentiments were duerto
a glass of champagne he drank. If this
is the case the DAILY GAZETTE would
feel very much as Mr. Lincoln did
about the whiskey Gen. Grant was ac-
cused of drinking, when he favored the
free use of that particular brand, by all
the other generals. He spoke as fol-
lows :

“I am a Presbyterian minister. I
am here to tell you that I am a brother
man and a friend, and that you and I
are brothers. We march under one
banner. .We have one God. I fight in
a difl'erent corps, you worship at

, another altar, but it is the same God
we adore. I, a Presbyterian, am glad
to be here to-night. I have had some-
what of a quarrel with some of my
brothers about catholicity, in regardto
the Roman Catholic chlu'ch. In this
ago of aggressive infidelity and agnostic
Sc1ence man is my friend and brother.
The man who believes that back of
phenomena there is an Almighty God,
that back of all the changes of time
there is a Heavenly Father—that man’s
faith is mine. If you will help me to
keep the Lord’s day—the Ten Com-
mandments—I will fight for and with
you.”

Dr. Paxton wound up by sayincr:
“Erin go bragh forever. I am a Home
Ruler.

bless ’em. They are the most humor-

ous, kindhearted, best people that I:

ever knew.”

There was much applause when he ;

A NEW LEGISLATIVE ERA

Predicted That. the Line Will .Draw-

Between the East and West.

FIRST BLOW IN THE REVOLT.

Senator Manderson’s Election as Presi-
dent pro tem of the Senate the Initial
Step in the Movement—“Vestern
Senators “’on’t' Be; Sat Upon.

WASHINGTON, March 31.—The report
widely circulated that~ Senator Edmunds
is soon to resign his seat loosed the tongue
of a Republican office holder, lately from
Montana, who was- sitting in one of the
rooms of the Treasury this morning.

“Well,” saidhe to your correspondent,
“I suppose .we shall know whether there

is any truth in that story when the senator

gets ready to tell us. For my part, I sha’n’t
believe it till I hear it from his own lips.
Edmunds is only human,and he has reached
a place in the senate now which must be
mighty attractive to a man who loves
power.
reasons given for his pulling out, though]
think there’s another behind all those you
read in the newspapers.” '

“And what is that?” asked your corre-

spondent.

“He’s seen the handwriting on the wall.

Yes, sir,” the speaker went on, in response
to a look of surprised inquiry on the face
of his interrogator, “he realizes that We
are on the threshold of a new era in legis-
lation over in his end of the Capitol. Have
you found out yet why Manderson, of Ne
braska, was elected president pro tempore
of the senate instead of Hoar or any of the
eastern senators of longer experience and
wider fame? You thought it was because
he knew so much about parliamentary
law perhaps? W'ell, most everybody
thought so, but that wasn’t the reason.
Manderson presides very fairly. but no bet-
ter than a dozen other men on that floor.

5 No, sir, it was because he came from the

there is no better printed authority,i

has at last offered an opinion on Gov-
ernor Hill’s refusal to honor Governor
Bulkeley’s papers. It calls the former’s
action “unjustifiable and anarchical. ”
It has looked up his law references and
says they do not apply at all to the case
in hand. “Governor Bulkeley,” it
says, “lawfully holds over and is gov-
ernor de jure—not de facto—or else
Connecticut has no governor. If Gov-
ernor Hill had chosen to recognize
Governor Bulkeley’s requisition, no
harm would have been done, and prob-
ably no one, at least no reasonable per-
son, even of his own party, would have
objected. But he has chosen to erect
himself into a canvassing board for
Connecticut and to denounce Bulkeley
as an usurper. Whatever he is, he is
not that. If any one is to blame it is
not he, but the Legislature. He has
not thrust himself into the office, but is
simply holding on to his former office
as ordered bythe constitution.”

BRIEF DIENTION.

Warden Charles Osborne, of the Tombs
prison, died in New York of consumption.

The Brazilian newspapers that have ar-
rived at \Vashington show that opposition
to the reciprocity treaty has died out as
far as the public is concerned. The gov—
ermnent is prepared to put the treaty into
effect on April 1.

The United States steamer Galena was
floated and towed to Vineyard Haven,
Conn.

Owing to the approach of Russian troops
to the Austrian frontier and the friendly
relations between France and Russia the
German war office at Berlin has been very
busy. The kaiser is said to have become
very unpopular, while Bismarck is held in
high favor.

Catherine Peel, of Allentown, an old
w oman aged sixty sev en years, was ar-
rested on a charge of bigamy prefer red by
her son William.

A hole was blown in the po1t boiler of
the steamer Farrar, near Savannah. The
noise of the escaping steam frightened the
colored deck hands, four of whom jumped
overboard and were drowned.

Two of the churches in Delaware closed
their doors against the pastors assigned by
the Wilmington M. E. conference.

The man who registered at the Kenmore
hotel at Albany as S. G. Spencer, of Troy,
and who was found dead in his room with
a bottle which had contained morphia by
his side, was identified as \Vashington
Quinlan, the well known New York
broker. '

At Racine. VVis., Henry Hellin gs, aged
1w enty -one. shot and killed himself under
the window of Miss Nettie Zenul, who had
1e11catcdlv refused to mal ry him.

James McGovern was killed and Patrick
VIcL‘aw ley seriously 111j111ed by the explo

sion of a boiler at the G1ussy island col— ,

liery no; 1r Scranton.

Governor Costa joined the Reca-Mitre
coalition, thus settling the Argentine p0-
liticul question. The elections passed ofl
quietly. An unsuccessful attempt was
111 1111. to assassinate Genc1a1 Roca on
"1' ._) 20.

Cochrane Denies the Charge.

l.’1nLADELPHIA,March 31.—Thomas Coch-
rune, ex-president Of- the Guarantee Trust
and Safe Deposit-company, denies the al-
leged misappropriation of $115,000 in bonds
of the Shawnee and Iron Point Coal and
iron company, as stated in a. dispatch from
Columbus, 0. Mr. Cochrane says: “The
charges .made against Mr. Welch, the presi-
dent, and myself are absolutely false. Mr.
\Velch has all the records and can sub-
stantiate this statement, and will do so at
the proper time. Th6 people who now hold
the bonds will gladly surrender them if
they are paid the money they loaned with
interest.”

 

Bishop Ryan Improving.

\VASIIINGTON, March 31.——Bishop Ryan,
of Buffalo, who is sick at Providence hos—
pital, in this city, has been gradually im-
proving for the last few days, but is not
yet considered out of danger. His condi-
tion Monday was the some as the day be—

northwest.
The First Blow in a New Revolt.-

“This was the first blow in a new revolt.
The line of the next secession will be
drawn, not between the north and the
south, but between the east and the
west. The east has a way of despising
the west and not attempting to conceal
the feeling. The west has come to the
conclusion that the east has run things
long enough, and now she proposes to re-

sent th3' steady course of domineering to

which she has patiently submitted. In
the house, of course, the more thickly
settled states are in the ascendant, and
are bound to continue so till the census
undergoes some wonderful changes. But
in the senate all the states stand on the
same level. It is there that the blow for
independence must- be struck.”

“Would not the west be wise to wait till
she sends men to Washington who will
naturally rise to the top of the heap
through their superior character and abil—
ities?”

“The west believes she has yet men here
now who are the equals of those New Eng-
landers—Hoar and 'Edmunds and Aldrich
and the rest. Why, would you believe it?
There’s Shoup, of Idaho, one of the richest
men in the state, as level headed in busi-
ness and as sound in patriotism as any
man in the senate. The little eastern
clique are proposing to ostracise him be-
cause he voted to lay aside the elections
bill. He is every whit their equal in char-
acter, and his record in public life and as a
private citizen will show whether he is
able or not.

\Vatch the Next Congress.

“Look at his career in the war. Look at
the offices he has held and the honors con-
ferred on him. He does not boast a college
education, it is true; but neither does Ed-
munds nor Aldrich; and the side he has seen
of life is worth forty diplomas. The idea
of such a man being snubbed by eastern
men, whom he can double discount in all
matters of practical knowledge and expe-
rience of the world! They will scarcely
speak to him, so offended are they. No
exhibition they could make of themselves
would go further than this to stir up had
blood in the west.”

“Who besides Mr. Shoup has suffered ill
treatment?”

“Oh, the whole delegation in the senate
from the new states. Why, those men are
of some consequence at home. They are
among the biggest fellows ‘ out there.
When they come to Washington it goes
against the grain to find themselves treated
like a set of schoolboys, snubbed and
sniffed at and crowded to one side.”

“Will the revolt take substantial shape
soon?”

“It will come to a head, I think, before
the first session of the next congress has
grown very old. The first bolt will be
made on a bill to reduce the tariff on
something or other; and then if the east
ern men try any of their taunting, snub
hing tactics war will be declared on the
spot in a speech by one of fihe northwest—
erners, who will put some pretty sharp
truths into some pretty plain English.
You must watch so as to be present. The
talk will be worth hearing, Ipromise you.”

The Big Pontoon Bridge Wrecked.

ST. CHAl .LEs, Ma, March 31. ——The largest
p-_ontobn bridge in the world, located at St.
;Charles, across the Missouri river, was

.- ,broken from its moorings and started

down the river. F Ive 'men connected with

éthe bridge. were 011 it: at the time of the

break—John Coleman, Fritz Weeks, Louis
Robinson, James Sparks and John Enoch.

Atalate hour these men had not been,

heard from, This is the third wreck the
bridge has experienced within the past few
weeks. The wreck was caused by an im-
mense amount of driftwood being lodged
against the bridge.

A Madman with a Mission.

CHICAGO, March 31.—Charles Rollins, a
switchman, walked into the Harrison
street station, and drawing a revolver from
his pocket presented it at" Desk Sergeant
Murphy’s head and demanded a supply of
ammunition, as he said he had a commis-
sion to rid the levee of all objectionable
characters. After a hard struggle he was
ove1 powered and locked up. It is thought
he' is insane, and his mental condition will
be looked into by the city physician today.

He Dug in at Lucky Spot.

PEORIA, Ills, March 31.—Philip Slattery,
a farmer living nine miles from this city,
has just discovered a rich lead of silver
ore. He was digging awell. and struck
the 1' aim of ore about thirty feet below the
surf .ue in a rock stratum. The vein is a
rich one, and an assayer pronounced it a
fine quality of silver ore. Arrangements

are being made in this city to develop the

mine. and the well and' adjoining property
are carefully guarded.
