A Problem for Congress.
Congressmen do a great deal of talking
j about the race problem, and the Republi
i can party, on the pretense of settling that
problem, is suggesiing measures to secure
I political advantage.!. The raoa problem,
j however, is one that time alone can settle,
j Tbe a tempts c.f the politicians to settle it
only hinder its sett! ■meat.
There is a problem, ho sever, that on
| gressca i help to settle, and it was stated in
an open letter to the Kansas congressional
delegation, a day or two ago, by the farm
ers’ alliance of that state. The problem is,
How can the material condition of the
farmers be improved? Iu their letter the
Kansas aliianeemen say that the farmers
are losing their homes because they cannot
make a living and pay the interest
on the mortgages on their farms. One
law firm in Southern Kansas has a contract
to foreclose 1,809 mortgages. It is alleged
that the holders of the mortgages want to
get possession of the mortgaged farms and
people them with tenantry from Europe.
This las: assertion may not bs true, but
there is nodoubt that the farmers of Kansas
and oth r western states are not prosperous.
The members of the Kansas delegation
have nothing to suggest except to cheapen
sugar, make the coinage of silver free and
increase the pension burden. They particu
larly advise the payment of a larger
amount in pensions. There are over 100,090
ex-union soldiers in Kansas alone,and if they
were all given a pension, Kansas farmers,
so the Kansai cong.-esmen think, would be
more prosperous. The idea is not to limit
pensions to disabled veterans who can
not earn a living, but for the government
to support all ex-union soldiers just us if
they were paupers. It is probable that ex
union soldiers would object to anything of
that sort, and, be. ties, the greater the
amount is which is paid out in pensions the
less will the amount be which those receiv
ing pensions will earn themselves. The ex
confederate soldiers are much better off
to-day than the ex-union soldiers, and the
reason is that they have learned to dopend
upon their own exertions.
It is doubtful if free sugar would be
agreeable to Kansas farmers because a very
large number of them a-e engaged in grow
ing sorghum and beets for sugar, and there
is a widespread belief among Kansas peo
ple that their state is going to produce, in
the near future, onoogo sugar to supply the
home market. Tney therefore want sugar
protected. And it is not clear how the free
coinage of silver would help the farmers.
By increasing the silver currency the prices
of farm products might be increased, but
the purchasing power of the debased cur
rency would decline in proportion to the
increased volume of that currency.
The difficulty under which the fa mors
labor is that the policy of high protection
robs them of tail the profits of their farms.
They have to sell their cotton, wheat, corn,
bacon, cheese, etc., at prices fixed by free
trade England, because their surplus is
marketed there and the prices obtained for
thoir surplus fixes the prices for their entire
crops, and for everything they buy they
have to pay protection prices—that is,
prices which those who are protected by an
almost prohibitive tariff demand. Is it to
be wondered at, therefore, that the manu
facturing class ispro.perous and the farmer
class is poverty-stricken? It is time that
congress was attending to this problem
which the Kansas farmers have presented
to it. __
The Tariff Bill.
In our dispatches yesterday there was a
very full synopsis of the tariff bill which
the ways and means committee has been
working upon ever since the opening of this
congress. It will be known as the McKinley
bill, not only because Mr. McKinley is the
chairman of the committee, bat also because
he has bad more to do with framing it
than anyone else. The estimated reduction
in the revenues for which it provides is
$00,000,000 a year.
It is worthy of notice that those interests
upon which the Republican party depends
for support iu elections, aud which furnish a
very large part of the niouev for conduct
ing the political campaigns of that party,
are touched very lightly. The duty on steel
rails, for instauce, which is now sl7 per
ton, is reduced to sl3 per ton, although it
is alleged that Mr. Carnegie said the other
day that $5 per ton would aff rd steel rail
manufacturers all the protection they need.
The duty on Bugar, however, which
is a southern product, and iu which
the Republican party has no interest, is
reduced 6.5 per cent This reduc’ion of the
sugar duty represents nearly half of the
entire amount of the reductions for which
the bill jirovides. Thore is also a very con
siderable reduction in the duty on rice,
although the ways aud means committee,
understands that unless there is a very great
reduction in duties on articles which the
rice planters aro compelled to have in
making their crops it will be impossible, if
the proposed reduction in the duty on rice
is made, to grow that article profitably.
For a good many years the rice and sugar
planters have regarded the republicans as
thoir friends, because of tbe protection
policy of that party. They are now brought
face to face with the fact that they have all
along Deen treated with more consideration
hy ti e Democratic party. The Mills bill of
the last congress made a less reduction in
the duties on both rice and sugar than the
McKinley bill makes The democrats
looked upon these articles as almost wholly
revenue articles aud they dealt with them
as such.
The republicans are compelled, if they
satisfy their friends and at the same time
make auy considerable reduction in ttie
revenues, to attack sugar and rice. They,
therefore, sacrifice two great southern pro
ducts in order to save the monopolies whose
big profits enable them to help the Republi
can party whenever it needs help. It is
probable that in future the sugar and rice
planters will not place so much dependence
upon the protective policy ot the Republican
party. They have learned that the repub
licans adopt tliatriohcy oniy whore, in their
their opinion, it will tend to strengthen
their party.
It is stated that the City of Mexico is
going to have the finest hotel on the Ameri
can continent. The building will cost
C 2,000,000, and of that amount the Mexican
government will furnish $1,000,0 )0 in the
form of a subsidy, besides granting free im
portation of material. Mexican capitalists
will furnish the rest. There will bo five
stories and 400 guest chambers, these rooms
being luilt around a co.:rt 100x225 feet.

Adrert'B'.ntr a State.
Florida has developed more rapidly in
the las: ten or fifteen years than anv other
j of the southern states, and the chief reason
is that she has been more extensively and
i systematically a iverti sod than anv other,
j This is a ease cf cause an! effect. Of course
| Florida has resources that justify all of the
| n 1 vert:sing she ha* received, otherwise the
I benefits derive 1 from the advertising would
have been temporary. People might have
been beguiled into moving there, cr invest
ing money there, but if there had not boon a
substantial basis for the claims in Florida’s
favor the new settlers would have pu lied
up stakes and moved awav, an i capitalists
would have declined to follow up their first
investments with others. A stite, however,
that can produce annually $39,0j0 worth of
honey, $41,000 worth of strawberries.
$50,000 worth of hogs, $39,000 worth of
sheep, $359,090 worth of bsef, $750,000
worth of sponges. $399,000 worth of fish and
oysters, $3,500,000 worth of oranges, lem ins,
limes and pineapples, $65,009 worth of sugar
and molasses, $390,099 worth of rice,
$500,090 wirth of cedar, $4,009,099 w >rth
of cotton, and thousin is of dollars worth
of other things can very well afford to have
its praises sounded.
The Ixmdon bureau of the Florida Inquiry
and Land Investment Company has issued a
little pamphlet, which is printed iu London,
for theeulightermi-’nt ofEnglish nen relative
to the resources and advantages of FI irida.
It gives about all of the information re
quired by people desiring to change their
homes or to invest money. It is an illustra
tion of what is being done to direct the at
tention of such people to Florida.
How many other southern states have
ever done anything of the kind? Their ca
pacity for development may be as great as
that of Florida, but they are not advertis
ing themselvos as persistently anl judi
ciously. They can get a valuable lesson in
this respect from that state.
Where Reform Is Needed.
The New York Nun seems to have de
spaired of effecting a reform in the matter
of baptismal names. Occasionally it usel
to turn its light upon the weakness cf
pare .ts in giving their children alleged
romantic names, aud of the young ladies in
changing their sweet, sensible names iuto
Frenchy one-, but it dees so no more. This
is to be regretted. The cause w r as a most
righteous one, and althougn it cannot be
said that it was gaining ground, yet
it is not like the Sun to aban
don it on that account, and
the hone can be indulged that Hr. Dina is
gathering strength for a more determined
onslaught. But in the meantime the nui
sance of Frenchy and romantic names be
comes greater. The young ladies who wore
formerly known as Mary are nearly all
called Marie now, audit is pretty difficult to
find a girl with a reiliy pretty and at the
same time sensible name. The people who
complain of this condition of affairs are told
that anew and bolter ord?r of things,
with regard to names, has sot in,
but when they see engraved upon
a card “Hildegard Eudora” they are
quite disposed to d9nv that there is an im
provement, aud if the surname happens to
be Smith, as it sometimes may, the incon
gruity is somewhat startling. Likewise
one’s nerves are shocked upon hearing a
child called Myrtle Lucile.
It is unnecessary to inflict one with such a
came as Jane Maria, and it is equally so to
give a girl a name which ii maturer yoars
will be extremely inappropriate. It was
Swinburne who wrote "1 loved you for that
name of yours long before we met,’’ and
nobadv Ims any idea that the nsms was
Marie, or Hildegard Eudora, or any other
of that class.
Senator Ingalls’ pension bill, which was
introduced the other day, provides that a
soldier who has lost both eyes or one arm
or one leg, or both arms or both legs, may
merry “someone to take care of him.’
After his death the widow is to receive a
sl3 pension so long as she remains his
widow. In case of desertion for six months
the soldier may obtain a divorce through a
county court for $5 and costs. Isn’t this a
rather queer hill? Indeed, it would seem
that w hen a senator is reduced to the neces
sity of introducing such hills the field for
pension registration has been already well
covered. And so it has.
The Mobile News thinks that there is
going to be a qundrangular political fight in
Georgia t iis year. It reaches this conclu
sion after taking it for granted that the
republicans will nominate a state ticket,
and that there will also be democratic,
prohibition aud farmers’ alliance tickets.
The News places too much reliance in the
statements concerning Georgia politics
which it sees in northern republican news
papers. In addition to the regular demo
cratic ticket, there may be a regular repub
lican ticket, but there is very little likeli
hood that there wilt bo farmers’ alliance and
prohibition tickets.
Bishop Turner (colored), of Georgia, has
written an open letter to Fred Douglass, in
which ho says that race prejudice is grow
ing stronger, and adds: “For this lam not
denouncing the south any more than the
north, for the decision of a northern supreme
court is the author of it all 1 find a white
man is a white man aud a black man is a
black man, be he northerner or southerner,
and tho great question that confronts us is,
AVhat will t’ue black man do?” The bishop
thinks that tho colored people should, as far
as possible, be colonized in Africa. He ap
proves of Son a tor Butler’s scheme.
The New York Tribune remarks that
“not the smallest degree of surprise will be
caused by the announcement that the
southern democratic leaders have unani
mously resolved that Mr. Lodge’s bill is a
blow at our free institutions, and therefore
to be resisted with all their might. ” The
Tribune has hit upon the truth. Nobody,
not even a republican, is surprised to see
democrats oppose such a hill as that of
Henry Cabot Lodge. The Democratic party
! always was the party of tho people, and
the Republican party always did teud
toward centralization.

How the Baby Was S&ved.
esteniay was the anniversary of a snowsiide i
which came down Mount Havidson in 1857, j
•weeping away two or three houses and killing
Richard N art bey, say a the Virginia City Enter- j
prise. The slide occurred at a point on the
eastern face of the mountain, above the old
11 ae & Noreross hoisting works.
In 1875. on Jan. 10, there was a second ava
lanche at the same place, which killed two men
and buried a woman and a child. The woman ,
and tne child were, however, dug out of the
snow uninjured. The woman was protected by
a portion of her wrecited home—a frame
structure.
The house was swept from its foundation iu
such a way as to leave the lower floor intact,
lhe woman was first rescued. She at once be
gan to cry out for her child, of which nothing
was to be seen about the wrecked house.
Soon son e one said: “I hear a child."
All listened, and several persons asserted that
they heard the faint cry of a child, and agreed
that it came from above—up on the sde of tho
mountain.
All in that direction appear and to be a com
pact mass of snow. Men were soon scattered
over the mountain slope, near where it was
supposed the several wrecked dwellings had
stood. The faint cries of a child were heard,
but it was some minutes before the searchers
couid agreed whence the sound caiue.
At lost the sounds were so well located that
digging The snow was so compact that
it was difficult to remove it with shovels, and
the workers dared not use picks; therefore there
was time lor a big crowd to codec:, anil a great
excitement to grow whiie the digging was in
progress.
The cries of the child constantly became more
distinct, ar.d at last, after about four feet of
snow had been dug through, the top o? a cook
ing stove was reached.
The voice of tne child was then so plainly
heard that several cried out: “It is in the stove!
The child is in the oven of tne stove!"
Soon a hole had been made beside the stove
and a mau, thrusting down his hand, sai 1 that
the oven door of the stove on that side was
closed. Eiami ation soon showed that the
opf)osite door was also closed. The mystery of
the whereabouts of t’ue child Mas not solved
until the workers had dug down to the floor of
the house. It was then found that the child
was beneath the stove, whence it was hauled
out safe and sound.
It had doubtless been crawling about the
fl -or when the avalanche came, ar.d at the first
rush of snow was pushed under the stove,
which fortunately stood on blocks several
iuehes in hight.
l hat child is probably still alive and in the
city. If so. it is now about 35 years of age and
too big to be saved again in the same way.
She Obtained tbe Pacts, Anyhow.
The sewijg girl was very pretty, there was
no doubt about that, says the Merchant Trav
eler. but there was no reason, the wife thought,
why Harry should look at the sewing girl so often
and so intently. Indeed, why should he look
at the sewing girl at all!' .She mid promised to
join a box party at the theater with the
Smiths, and Harry said he believed he wouldn't
go, he’d rather stay in the sitting-room and
smoke and read, and the Smiths could bring her
home. The sewing girl was at work in the
si .ting-room and would be engaged until 9
o'clock. .It was a doubtful situation, but wives
are adroit and alert. This one bethought her of
the perfected phonograph Harry haa brought
home. She would take it into the sitti g room.
It worked automatically with conversation
anywhere near it, aud registered with perfect
accuracy, emitting again on occasion all it bad
heard. She carried out the idea aud joined the
theater party.
When the wife returned Harry was in bed
sleeping the sleep of tho just—or the hardened.
She closed tho doors tightly, to cut off cli
sound, and turned the phonograph crank with
fear and trembling. At the first revo.ution she
almost fainted. There issued the voices of
Harry and the sewing girl. He had been in tne
room!
She recovered after a time and turned the
crank. Here is tbe conversation she heard:
“Hello. Have you scon a meerschaum pipe
around here?"
“No, sir."
“Guess i must have l°ft it down town. Say,
are you the girl that made my last lot of shirts!'"
“Yes, sir."
“Well, when you make another lot I want you
to sew every button on so it will stick till there's
frost in Hades. See? >lrs. *s a good girl,
but sue s so infernally busy watching me she
forgets about buttons. See?"
“Yes, sir."
“All right. Much obliged. What red ears
you've got! Hello! I'll be blanked if there
isn't the pipe on tbe niautel now! You'd better
never get married; you haven't got the eye.
Sec?"
That was all there was in the phonograph.
Harry was not awakened and reproached The
woman was too much shocked with tho bald
reality of life, besides, she didn't know what
to say.
In an Awkward Predicament.
A newspaper man carue out of an up town
theater the other night between the acts, arm
in arm with the manager, says the New York
Tribune.
“SplendiJ, my boy, splendid," said the news
paper man. “Sure to draw immensely."
“Think so, old man?" replied the manager.
“Glad to hear it. Come in here and let’s drink
success to the star." And they turned into a
cafe adjoining the play-house and speedily
brought up before the bar.
There they spied a well-known man-about
town, whose acquaintance the newspaper man
was rather proud of, and glad of the oppor
tunity to show his familiarity w ith the million
aire, he seized his opportunity to introduce his
friend the manager by name, but omitted to
mention his business.
“Have something to drink with us," said the
pleased manager; “we were just going to wet
our wh sties when we saw you. What will you
have?"
“Well," replied the millionaire wearily, “give
me a brandy. 1 declare I have caught a chill
listening to that infernal play next door."
Tableau—Disgusted manager, overwhelmed
newspaper man, and a millionaire becoming
gradually conscious that he has put his foot in
it somehow.
“Th—th—in is the manager of that play," be
gan the newspaper man.
“My dear st, let me explain," said the niil
lionaiie. What I meant to say was that I never
can endure pathos, aud really the star is so
pathetic that I "
“Don’t mention it." said the manager. “Ta
ta. 1 must go to the box-office."
“That was certainly a devil of a time to tell
me of my mistake," said the di concerted man
about-town, who rather prided himself at never
being taken aback.
Ami the newspaper man went away with a
bad taste in his; mouth, doubting if he had in
gratiated himself to any great extent with either
of his friends.
The Days That Never Return,
From the Few York World.
Over the strings of ray harp to-day
Floats a song that is half a sigh,
lake the sound of leaves when the wind
sweeps by.
Like the sound of breakers far away,
As they beat and sob.
As the}* beat and throb.
Till I hear a voice in the distant roar
i m tnat lovely stretch of sandy shore.
Over the strings of my harp to-day
Floats a song for the dying year—
A song that thrills with an unshed tear
Thro' tne winter twilight, cold and gray,
As the breakers sob.
As the breakers throb.
And I hear the voice with its old retrain.
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings o? ray harp to-day
Floats a song for my sweet, lost youth—
For oh, I would give in very truth,
Riches anl fame and power away
To dream once more
Those bright dreams o’er.
"It is vain regret," siglis that old refrain.
For the days that never come back again.
Over the strings of my ham to day
Floats a song for the dying year;
A song that t hrills with an unshed tear,
lake the sound of breakers away—
How they beat ami sob!
I low' they l>oat and throb f
And I hear that voice with its old refrain,
For the days that never come back again.

W. J. Arkell of Frank Leslie's and Judge is
back of a proposed exploring expedition to
Alaska. The government will assist. The
primary object of this search for information
is to penetrate tbe country lying between the
Copper and Yukon rivers in Central Alaska, a
stretch of many thousands of square miles
never yet trod by a white man. E. H. Wells, a
western newspaper w riter, will be at the head
of the expedition. His experience consists of a
campaign last sumrn r. in which he traveled
2.000 miles in the wilds of the British Northwest
Territory. lie has also mapped out for the
United Mates government a number of rivers in
Centra! Alaska, previously unknown. Another
member of the exepdition will be Alfred B.
Schauz, formerly assistant astronomer of Alle
gheny observatory, and for the last three years
a New York newspaper man.
“I believe there Is less change in wedding
rings than anything in the line of goods we
keep," said a prominent New York jeweler a
day or two ago. “I have been in this business
for about half a century, and the wedding ring
is about the same toiaay as when I served my
apprenticeship. The marriage token can hardly
be improved upon. It is a ring of pure virgin
gold. It is softly rounded, aud if you hang it
on a piece of string and strike it gently it will
ring out an indescribably soft and sweet sound.
Ladies nowadays wear numerous rings which
carry no significance, except, perhaps, in
some instances the possession of wealth.
Twenty-five years aeo it was a rarity to see a
woman wearing more than one ring on either
baud, b it now the more they can crowd on their
dainty digits the better they seem pleased; and.
what is mor , while they are almost insanely
mindful of the harmony iu their dress, they
jumble diamonds, rubies, pearls, garnets and
the other precious stones together in ridiculous
confusion. To display a diamond properly it
must lie worn alone. Few seem to understand
this. If a solitaire is pure, it is obvious that if
worn next t > a ruby it will reflect the hue of the
latter, and thus its value will be obscured."
Baby McKee’s recent call to the white house
of the Washington tire department has a paral
lel from Lincoln's time. Young Tad Lincoln
loved to run with the engines to fires, but the
boy kept up this amusement so steadily that the
President forbade him going to any more fires.
The youngster then set about devising a scheme
to bring the engines to him. On the top of the
white house is a great water tank, placed there
for use in case of fire. Young Todd then began
systematically to rill this tank with the bodies
of dead cats and dogs he found in the streets,
and added to their remains sticks and stor.63
gathered in the white house grounds. After
several days’ work he had so completely choked
up the reservoir that the water wuuld not run
off, and then ho went and informed his father of
the fact, and added that the only way to clear
it out was to get an engine to come and pump
it out. The President then gave hi in an, order
on Chief Dixon of the the tire department, ask
ing him to send an engine to the executive man
sion to dean the tank. With great glee the boy
carried th? order to Mr. Dixon, and rode up tbe
street on the engine, and watched with evident
delight the machine at work. The result, how
ever. was not so pleasant, for it disclosed Tad's
work,and brought disgrace upon him, and no
more engines came at his call.
“The cost of a funeral among the wealthy
class i:i our city ranges from S3OO to $9( 0,"
said an undertaker to the New York Star , “but
I have known the expense to run up to $2,000 in
sp cial instances. Are undertakers promptly
paid? As promptly as other business men.
There are occasional losses, aud we seldom enter
upon litigaiiuu for the recovery of our money.
You see. it would hurt the trade. Undertakers
who deal with the poorer class usually secure
themselves in advance, and arrange their bills so
t hat they will not be at loss in the ov nt of the
whole amount not being paid. We have queer
experiences sometimes. Many a quiet autopsy
is held, the facts of which never reach the pub
lic; but, of course, the undertaker knows all
about it. The object in sucb instances is to
satisfy the doubts or fears of relatives as to
the cause of death. Embalming is the ordinary
process now fur preserving bodies, except
among the Irish, who prefer tbe ice box. Cre
mation is also becoming more common. Borne
magnificent caskets go to the crematory, and
although they are not put into the furnace with
the corpse, they have to be destroyed, as the
law will not permit them to be returned, pre
sumably for fear of spreading disease. Weird
scenes occur at cremations. On one occasion,
as the terrible heat struck a body jut placed
in the furnace, tho corpse rose in a lifelike way,
and then sank back to be ootisuruefl. The un
dertaker is not. of course, a philanthropist, but
! lie guard* many secrets, and guards them as
well as either physician or lawyer."
