Tie only Senator who fought 6uoco80, Seoretarr Teller, is uo stranger to the Senile. Three Ren in whose terms expire election Lapham of New York, Cameron of Wisconsin, and Farley of California. The latter a Democrat, and the Legisla ture of bis State is Republican. The former Is a very old man, and was not thought of for re election. Mr.

Cameron announced his purpose to retire before the Contest began. Ex Governor Stanford is welt knwn as a capitalist, but it is not charged, so far as we have seen, that he bought his way into the Senate, or that he owes bis success to the mere fact of his It Is safe to say that in the Forty ninth Congress there will be no more noticeable men than Senators Evarte. of jw York, and Soooner. of Wisconsin. At an aarlv stage, of the Senatorial contests in their respective States, neither was hardly so as thought of.

At one time ex Gov ernor Folrchlld, a gentleman of Irreproachable record and deservedly popular, was regarded as having a foreclosed mortgage on the Badger Senatorship, and at one time too llr. Morton seemed to be absolute master of tb situation in Xew York. The final suo cess of their opponents was in each case due to the feeling that in the present con dition of the Republican party it is im portant that the very best men should be mit forward and fra.h blood infused into ibe party, And, withal, that leaders should be chose who had uo connection with taction! en tanftle Allioush far advanced in life and long known as one of the ereat men of the country, llr.

In the Senate be will be the peer of the ablest members of that body, worthy to succeed JSilas Wright, Wm, H. Seward, and Boscoe Conkliug. The entire country sees In bis elevation an auspicious omen for the republican party. Had ths spirit which dictated 3xls election dominatad at Albany in 1881 ibs Democracy would not now be upon the eve of a return to power. Colonel Spooner win be one of the youngest men la either branch of Coa.

gress, being only a little past 40 years of see. His advancement was not' due, to dissatisfaction with that other gallant soldier. General Falrchlld. but simply to an awakening of the Republicans of Wisconsin to the Inquiry: Who of all the men in the State has the qualifications In the most eminent degree foe United States Senator? The choice of Colonel Spooner was due to the honest canvass of this question. As a consequence a jgreat deal will be ex.

peeled of him. fie may not be si brilliant as Carpenter, but It is expected that be will In due tune command recognition as one of the National leaders of the party. There would have been an element of crucf Injiatica, la aerUag' aside General Falrchlld for any one ot whom leu than this might be reasonably expected. 'The Republican party was In need' of such a man, Passing as It soon will from the administration party to the opposition, from ths. rRight" to the "Laft," It will need the services of one whose rigorous manhood combines the brain of statesman, ship 'and the tongue ot eloquence.

Blaine and Cpnkllng left vacancies which have remained unfilled, and now It seems probable that their places will be occupied, with the animosities happily eliminated. So far trom coming forward as champions ot old feuds, the elections of Evarts and Spooner may be set down as emphasizing the purpose of the party to rise superior to ancient grudges and deadly animosities! They are evidences that the field of battle Is to become a grass plat, with turf un broken by the hoofs of warring knights. Of course no one can, read the stars and predict with certainty the fulfillment ot this expectation, but surely It Is a reason, able anticipation. The Republican party has shown capacity to meet the demands of new issues, its record being a series of progressive steps. and not a flailing of beaten strew; and now it must demonstrate its capacity to rise superior to cliques, rings, and tactions.

If It does that a new and great career will open before it Ths "Ghostly Lady," a new story by Harriett Prescott Spofford, will be pub lished in Ths Iktkr Oceak to morrow, The striking literary method of this lady was never better illustrated than In thl story, the title of which hints at mystery and dramatic Interest THE SPEAKERS EI? DfBEOSUO. The unorganized House is still howl ing wilderness with Cronkrite, instead of Haines, In the chair. The only progress made was retrogressive. The Republicans yesterday secured from the Speaker distinct admission that he is only the tem porary Speaker. The element ot usurpa tion has thus been eliminated, and the House is now just where it began, and that without any Immediate prospect of organization.

It was on the 6th cf January that the members of the House made their caucus nominations for Speaker, Cronkrite snd Fuller, with Haines the nominee of the Democracy for temporary Speaker, and Jlessick of the Republicans for the same position. The next day the dead lock began, each of the temporaries receiving 75 votes, neither voting for himself, snd the day closed with nothing done bevond showing what everybody knew before that the parties were evenly divided. The next day, the 8th. the vote of Si die, Re publican, broke the dead lock and placed Haines In the chair, when the show opened in ifood earnest. It took a fortnight, lack ing one day, to play that act of the farce.

and it might have taken all winter If the sensational Haines had not given a sur prise party in the shape of a voluntary re tirement from the chair. Judging from the proceedings yesterday Mr. Haines and a few of his more imme diate friends on the Democratic side showed a disposition to work with the Republicans. Mr. Fuller carried mo tion after motion, and it may be, if the Republicans strike while the iron Is hoi they will be able to control the organiza' tion.

There ought to be no unnecessary beating about the bush. A square vote should be reached as soon as possible, and the actual strength of the parties, for pur poses of organisation, put to a fair test Mr. Cronkrlte's rulings may not amount to usurpation, but already the Republicans are complaining that he more arbitrary and despotic than his predecessor. Of one thing they may be sure, he will never for one moment forget that be Is a Democrat, and that of the most pronoun oed type. In the heat and passion of the Hslnes episodo some members naturally forgot everything in eagerness to oust the tempo rary Speaker and prevent his being per manent chairman by Implication.

But all that belongs really to tho dead past The vital question is this: Which party shall control the House, organize its commit tees, and determine the final occupancy of the two contested cases? There must be no blindness to this issue. The two eon tested seats are now occupied by F. W. Parker and Eugene Sittig. Without them the Republicans could not elect the United States Senator, even with Mamer in the Sen ate instead of Cantwell This is the pivotal fact of the situation.

To lose sight of it would be the blunder of blunders. Another thing, and one which neither party can afford to lose sirht of, is the fact that merely swapping temporary Speak ers Is not In Itself organization. There is this difference now as compared with the Haines period, the entire responsibility for the dead lock henceforth rests upon the House itself. Mr. Haines assumed that responsibility, in effect, when he ruled out of order a motion to proceed to the election ot a speaker, but Mr.

Cronkrlte's position leaves the whole matter with the body itself. With no excuse for delaying the organization we may hope that the reign of chaos will soon be brought to a close. The latest from Springfield Is not par ticularly reassuring to those hopeful of a speedy solution of the difficulties attend ing organization. At a Democratic caucus last night Cronkrite announced that he had had his fill of the straggle and withdrew from the race tor Speaker. The appearance of the next candidate or the honors of presiding officer Is awaited with Interest.

Mikisteb Lowaxiv is of opinion that American competition with England would be a much more active and brilliaat affair, especially In the matter of our carrying trade, if wn were permitted to enjoy free trade. It Is a little singular that freetraders can find no Illustration or the evils of protection except In our carrying trade, from which all and every vestige of protection wss withdrawn in 1816, and which has. therefore, enjoyed nearly seventy years of uninterrupted free trad. 'While Mr. Lowell does not advocate protection to American artisans against British, ne Is an active' advocate of protection to English authors against' American publishers, through an latsrnsUonsl copyright law.

The point seems, never to have impressed Itself strongly on Mr. Lowell's moral con sclousneasthat while It is a very consider able part ot the duty ot every government to protect Its own eltlxens or subjects, the protection of the subjects of foreign gov rnments against Its own citizens cuts very secondary figure In Its functions. But it is charitable to suppose that Mr. Tviwull la miarenresented In the cable is port. He certainly was misrepresented the report of bis speech made by cable some months ago.

The battle of Abu Klea was a good illustration of tbe'flghting methods ot the opposing, forces, Stewart acted on the plana and used the formations of the Wolselcr campaign in the Zulu country, and the Arabs followed the meth ods which resulted in the annihilation of the Egyptian army, under General Hicks and the root of General Baker. The eon dittoes ot battle were not unlike those of the engagements in' whioh the Egyptian troops were routed. That is to say, the attack was made at a time and at a point where the advantages were all with the assaulting force.

But the tacked party, was composed of veterans trained to such warfare, and the result was very different from that ot previous engagements In the Soudan. When General Wolseley chose Kortl the point at which to conoentrate his army, he gave nonce that he would be ready to move on Khartoum Jan. 21. The move ment really began a week earlier, for on the 14th Stewart left Gskdul, and on the 17th he had defeated the forces ot the Mahdl. Those who care to study the campaign by the aid of the diagram In another column will be impressed with the strategy of Wolseley, and the careful attention to detail and secondary movements that have given him so firm a grasp on the Nile country.

He not only moving to ths rescue of General Gordon, but he la mov Ing forward in such a way as to render powerless or to overawe the rebellious tribes. For the first time a well equipped British armv is in the Soudan, and Its progress Is watched with unusual interest because It goes to ths relief of a man who went to the Soudanese on a mission of peace. The battle ot Abu Klea showed that the Arabs are under ths direction of some one skilled in wsr, or rather In the handling of the wild hosts of the Soudan to the best advantage. There have been few more picturesque engagements than that precipitated by the Arab assault at Aba Klea. The attack was timed to be dis astrous to the men of the In vsding force.

When that square wai formed on Saturday every man realized that it was a fight for the life of the army. and it was. Had the line been broken or the division defeated the whole force would have been massacred. The spectacle of the moving square meeting successfully ths onslaught of a furious enemy must have specisl Interest to old soldiers, and the result of the battle may have great in fluence in deciding the issues of the Son dan campaign. THE oKLlflOMA DIFFICULTIES.

There is underlying the Oklahoma diffi culties a clear, precise principle of justice, to faithfully observe which Is an obligation of the United States Government There Is no question of privlleg) involved, nor even a consideration of general equity; but the whole matter rests upon the basis of absolute right, a right created by that highest of all National virtues, a treaty of trust snd guardianship. The lands in con troversy, a northern fragment of Indian Territory, were ceded to the United States by the Creeks and Semlnoles under such stipulations as secured It as a home for Indians and freedmen. The terms of the treaty were expressed definitely and nn mlstakabiy. As yet there has been no legal Interference abrogating the rights of the Indians, and the vital question is whether the United States Government will stand honorably by its pledge; or. having firmly secured Itself In the ad vantages gained by the transfer of the Indians from their former possessions.

entirely throw off its present responsl bility. As matters now stand no white man has the right te set a pre empting foot upon the soil of Oklahoma. It Is no government land in the public sense, and is particularly secluded from privileges of settlement and occupation. It Is peculiarly set apart, but it is quite as positively assigned to Its Indian possessors as other Territorial lands are granted to railroads or secured to homesteaders and qualified settlers. Whatever may be said of the propriety of exclusively reserving vast acres of fertile.

rich, and valuable lands to a community of Indians Incapable of fully occupying them or developing their productiveness, ths fact that such reservation has, been made by the highest ordination ot the General Government la one that should command the respect and deference of all good citizens of that government. Since this tact was the result of Congres sional legislation; the rights under it being solemnly oonf erred and the Implied trust gravely accepted. It must appear that only by Congressional legislation, can its effects be modified or Its purpose altered. The case la not a matter ot equity, but a question of law. In the liberal spirit there is no doubt the coantry at large unites with the people of Ksnsss in sympathy with the movement to acquire for civilized use these btoad, undulating acres of fruitful land.

But such Is the nature of the relation ot the United States Government to the special Preservations there must be regard for the absolutely Invested rights ot the Indians, and it does not lie in the privilege of any community of persons to determine for Itself whether or it will respect the supreme wijl and obligation of the Nation. experience, aid acquaintance proved that the government acted unwisely in making concessions to the few in a way to Injure the Interests of the many, there should be an appeal to Congress for a more cqqltable readjustment of the provisions, and private Interests should await the settlement, But for uy number of persons to arro. gate to. themselves the right of being a law unto themselves In antagonism ot the par tlcular laws, enactments, proclamations, or decrees of the Nation is as much an act of treason as would be the secession of any State or States from the Federal Union. Whatever may be the personal sympathy with the alms and plans of the Oklahoma "boomers, thsir attitude is unmistakably that of outlawry, and should they persist in the off or Invade Oklahoma would manifestly be the duty of the proper officers of the United States Government to treat them ai rebels.

It Is desired above all things that action should promptly be taken to avert the pos sibilities an extremity so appalling. is the duty of Congress to act decisively in the premises. The responsibility seems to rest there. Its own members recognize the fact For a year the matter has been before them in an aggravated form. Blood' shed has been threatened, and but for the fact that government officers, civil and military, have acted temperately and considerately In the discharge of their Impera tive the threatened disturbance might long ago have culminated In disaster.

The President, the highest executive authority; has been criticised for declaring that settlers on the lands in question are violators of the law, and Congress has done nothing to confirm or correct his view, There is possibility that any day may wit ness a conflict between the troops and In vaders Congressmen representing inter ested constituencies pray for early and definite action, and yet Congress harries and debates the vital questions involved ss though It were engaged on some phase ot the tariff controversy, and seems un willing to enter decisively Into the merit of a case as serious la its aspect as were the memorable troubles that made Kansas a birth of blood. It will be no difficult matter for Congress to ascertain the rights of the Indiana, and It may be entirely a question of expediency whether those rights shall be regarded or not Congress has the power to drive the Indians out of the Territory pell mell, and any law of ejectment would find ready enforcers who would not stop to consider Us eonstitu tlonallty nor be as much concerned for the equity of the Indians under that order as they are now mindful of their own under the existing state of affairs. But there is no occasion for ths exercise of this arbitrary power. An adjustment of difficulties can be effected either by com promise or by enforcing the provisions ot me treaty. TEE DEAD AT ABU ILEA, The number of British officers reported killed or wounded st the ferocious battle around the wells of Abu Klea Is exception ally large In proportion to the number ot privates who fell in the engage ment The eame fact was noticeable in the last Afghan war, and many attempts were made to explain it, some military critics holding that it was because British troops require more leading than they used to do, and others contending that it was simply because there exists now among English officers a thirst for promotion and more pay that leads them to be reckless.

There is a certain amount of truth in both the explanations, and the result has been the loss of BtasT 'bright and promising rs who 'under other circumstances would have lived to become ornaments of the British army. In this last battle In the desert the officers killed bore exceptionally brilliant prospects, and their sud den loss will carry pain Into many a social and domestic circle in England. However; It Is all in a soldier's life. Major L. M.

Carmichael, of the Fifth Lancers, whose headquarters are in Dublin, was an ornament of a gallant regiment whose flag Is adorned with the proud names ot Blenheim, Ramllies, Oudenarde, and Malplaqoet He passed high In his final examination in the Staff College, re oelved his majority on the 1st of July, 1881, amid the congratulations of msny friends. W. H. Atherton received his captaincy In the latter part of 1879, and was considered a man who would make his mark In the Fifth (Princess Charlotte of Wales') Dragoon Guards. W.

A. Gough, who passed his Staff College examination well In 1884, was appointed brevet major on the 10th of May, 1883, for gallantry in Egypt He belonged to a famous fighting family, the roost brilliant of whom was probably Lord Gough, whose career In India shed luster upon the prowess ot British arms abroad. There are probably as many Goughs in the British army to day aa any other officers bearing the same name. The Fourth (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards has lost in Captain J. W.

W. Dar ley and Lieutenant W. A. Law, who both distinguished themselves at Tel el Keblr, two officers of whom much wss hopel and so have the Second Dragoons (Royal Soots Greys) sustained a distinct bereavement by the death of Lieutenant R. Wolfe, who was always eager to uphold the motto of his regiment, "Second to None." Poor FIgott, ot the Naval Brigade, has gone the way of his brother, who was shot down in one of the sorties from Kandahar when that city was besieged by the bloodthirsty troops of Ayonb Khan.

Colonel Sir H. Stewart is often con founded with his distinguished namesake. General Sir Donald Stewart, who foaght splendidly around Kabul four years ago that Trav fairly divided the honors, ot that remarkablo campaign with GeneraTSlr Frederick Roberts. Had he Instead of his horse been killed, Queen Victoria would have lost one of her most favored alds ds camp, and the British army aa officer whose many titles have been gallantly earned at the expense ot much staru fighting, and personal foar leesnoss. AsfopoorBurnaby, his feats are too well known to need comment, but It will be many.

day before the officers ot the Horse Guards will find another comrade of more splendid physique, or with more excellent moral and mental endow ments, than the explorer jot the formidable steppes of His attitude In death would make a picture worthy of the greatest painter (hat England has to day. Ths fact that all native American wo men, as well as all Amor lean bora infants of either sex, are citizens ot the United StaUs and of, fts Slate Ja which they re H. side, and that ail foreign born women of mature age can become citizens by natural ization in the same manner as men, seems to be an ever recurring source of surprise to the average American citizen. The Cleveland Leader alludes to the naturali sation ot a German woman In that city, preparatory to bringing a suit In her, name in the United States court In New York women are naturalized almost daily, as the lwstatute of the State forbids any other than a citizen to hold real Citizenship stands in no necessary' relation to the right to vote, or hold office, but simply consists in the relation of owing alleglanoe to the government and' being entitled to Its protection.

Xebraii State Journal XXWIPAPES POSTAGE. A oogent memorial in favor of the reduc tion ot newspaper postage has been prepared by. a committee of Western journalists.

Fifty four of the chief newspapers west ot oat ylvtnia and Jiow Xork were represented I I at a con.Tutloa hald in Detroit daring December, by which this committee was empowered to call ths attention of Congress to this important matter. It was the unanimous opinion of the delegates that the present Is wis an oat, sad that Congrsss ought to apply the remedy at once. The argument in favor of a revision of th law la stated ia thexanmittoe's naemorial with dignity and Je0. snd cavn not. are sura, be suooaaaf ally answered.

While the movement has originated entirely in the West, the proas of the coantry without reference to political distinctions is la sympathy with la Eastern newspapers have not hitherto specially saked for redoosd rates of poetafc but too justice of the ciaua has not been disputed. Poc to 17 newspaper postage wss paid hy the subscriber. In that yearthe law was rtsaged, prepayment being required st the office of publication st the rate of 2 cents per pound. Pubushers found it to be tm pmoticable to cover the outlay for postage br advancing their rates tn'niik. Postage became one of to neceeaary expenses of publishing newspaper.

It has been a tax anon the pabuaasrs vinldlnir Sboot to the government Bia the law was passed letter postage has beam largely reduced, and ths rates oa transient newspapers and periodicals have been eat down ona hall; bat the tax oa newspaper pobUaoers remains Merely to state the cans la to prove the grievance. There is no reason why newspaper pabtishers sboaia be excluded from the benettte of ahenper postage. They ask that the present rates should be reduced one half. It ia a legitimate demand which ought to be immediately conceded by Congress, The present law permits nil weekly onbH. cations to go postage tree in the eoaaty where they are published.

This is an oaf air discrimination atrainat those newspapers which ars taxed SU.5U0.000 a year. Thar Is no request on the part of the minority who are paying tola tax to add to the bar dens of publications that are now free. Bat tt is only fair to refer to this dlaodmiaatsoai as another argument for reducing toe present rates. The inequalities and injustice of the law are plain. There should be a prompt readjustment of the rates oa the basts pro.
