Washington is said to bear a deserted

Japan has but three senators in her new

Indians are not to play circu* auy more
■with B. Bill, Esq. Mr. Noble, Secretary of
the Interior, says the red man’s interior has
not been properly treated in the very "Wild
West."
Since the republicans have gone so exten
sively into photography a full stzo picture
of that vacant vote of thinks that Speaker
Reed got, would be interesting to the gen
eral public.
Secretary Wiudom has takeu to making
treasury “statements of circulation,” after

district would be sufficiently convincing.
The epithets applied to both Felton and

Is It a Business Congress?
Congress adjourned last Thursday, hav
ing been in session ten months. There
would have been very few express.on* of
regret had it adjourned several months
sooner. The country wav g tting very
tired of it. and is not looking forward with
pleasure to Us reassembling In Deoember.
The republican leaders ani organs have
found some satisfaction, apparently, in cill
iug it a ''business congress,” but is it a con
gress of that kind? Is it not rather a parti
san congress!
In the ten months of its first session wh it
did it do that will be of lasting benefit to
the people* It pass-1 the tariff bill, the
silver bill, the dependent pension bill and
the regular appropriation bills. The tariff
bill is an iniquitous measure aid will in
crease the cost of living without increasing
the revenues. Already the prices of carpets
have been i .creased lb cents a ya and, and the
carpet mills of Philadelphia, which produce
two-thirds of the carpets made iu this coun
try, have signed on agreement to shut down
40 percent, of their looms one year. This
means, of the throwing of n large
number of people out of work. The tariff
bill so increases the co-t of raw material
that the carpet mills oau be run only at a
loss.
But carpets are not the only things that
wiil be higher in co lsequonee of the legisla
tion just enacted. There are very many of
them, as people in humble circumstances
will find out, because their wages will not
have as great purchasing power as they had
a few months ago.
Even so dull an observer as ox-President
Hayes said the other day that he could not
see how his party friends could have beon
so blind to the best interests of the country
as to pass the McKinley bill. He declared
that it would doaa infinite amount of harm.
It is not certain yet what the effect of the
silver bill will be. That bill, however, can
not tie called a republican measure, as both
parties divided ou it. But the republicans
alone are responsible for the dependent pen
sion bill. How much it will add to the pen
sion burden no one knows. It is certain,
however, that the pension charge this year
will be about #llo.ooo,ooo—a sum greater
than that required to maintain the groat
army of Germany.
But why should the republicans call this
congress a business congress? It did not do
a great deal of business in the ten months
of its first session, and what it did do was
not done in a business like way. Indeed,
the House, under the arbitrary ruling of
Speaker Reed, was not a business or de
liberative body at all. The tariff bill was
not discussed by the House, It was framed
by an irresponsible committee that carri ed
out the idea* of the majority as expressed
in caucus. The republican caucus said
what should be done and the House
simply registered the caucus decrees. And
Speaker Heed and Maj. -McKinley domi
nated the caucus. As faros the House is
concerned this congress is virtually com
posed of Speaker Reed and M lj. McKinley.
All the other members might a3 wetl re
main at home looking after their private
affairs. It wasn’t the fault of the derao
crats, of course, that important bills were
not deliberated upon. They wanted to dis
cuss measures preseutod for their considera
tion, but were not permitted to do so.
Wby the republicans call this cougress a
business congress it is impossible to under
stand, unless their purpose is to mislead the
public. It is the most partisan congress iu
the history of the government, and the
present administration is the weakest ever
known. There are republicans who admit
that President Harrison’s administration
does not compare favorably with that of
President Hayes, of which the republicans
were ashamed. No, this is not a business
congress. It has done nothing to entitle it
to be considered as Buch. It is Heed’s cou
gress, aud it does just what he wants doue.
Only a Distinguished Visitor.
Our dispatches yesterday announced the
arrival in New York of M. Louis Philippe
D'Orleaas, who is known in this country
as Comte de Paris. He came
to the United States in 18C1, soon after
the beginning of the civil war,
and became n member of Gen. McClellan’s
staff. This action of his caused consider
able comment at the time both in this coun
try and Europe. He had bean Drociaimsd
“King of France" in 1848 by his abdicating
grandfather, and it was not reasonable to
suppose that he was particularly interested
in the issues of the civil war in this coun
try, or that he especially desired the suocess
of the union cause.
It was not, therefore, as a patriot, or any
thing of that kind, that he participated in
the war of secession. He may have had
motives for his conduct growing out of his
relations to France. If he had, he kept
them to himsalf. As far as known he
wanted excitement and adventure, And
found what he wanted with the Army of
the Potomac.
The impression ha loft upon those with
whom he came iu contact while connected
with the union army, was that he was a
cultivated and an agreeaole gentleman. He
made a great mauy friends, many of whom
are still living. They will give him a
hearty welcome and help to make his visit
a pleasant one. There exists no reason
why any public attention should bo shown
him, aud it is probible that none will bn.
(Jut in Oklahoma parliamentary law is
yet somewhat crude. When the speaker
signed an obnoxious bill the other day the
assembled statesmen, with a wild whoop,
went for him and chased him around town
until they scared him so badly that he was
anxious to yank his signature off the docu
ment, with the explanation that he signed it
under misapprehension. That would be a
bad place for Speaker Heed. Ho is too fat
to sprint, and if lie should use his ponderous
feet to barricade, the doors those frolicsome
law-makers would know no better than to
amuse themselves by shooting holes through
his shoe soles.
The only tragedy growing out of the Till
man campaign in South Carolina thus far
was the killing; of Capt. Frank Wama
maker by L. Hsrlong at St.
Matthews a day or two ago. It was a
very regrettable affair. Capt. Waana
maker was a highly respected citizen, and
Mr. Herlong is a prominent farmvr. There
was no good reason for the quarrel which
led to the tragedy, and no sa isfactory ex
cuse for the tragedy. If there wore a
stronger public sentiment against carrying
concealed weapous aud against taking
human life the tragedy would not have oc
curred.
Was the man who died at the house of the
widow Parnell in Birmingham oa Thurs
day, and, who passed under the name of J.
J. HendersoD, the famous Gen. Q iantrell,
the guerrilla chief? Probably not. It is
believed that Qnantrell was killed near the
close of the war in a fight In Kentucky.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1890---TWELVE PAGES.
The Senatorial Contest.
The contest for United States senator
from this state is growing steadily more
interesting. The alliance members are
largely in the majority in the legislature
and they have it in their power to name
the senator. There seems to be no doubt
that the alliance leaders will endeavor to
get the alliance members to act together.
Unless the alliance members unite upon a
candidate (iov. G ordon cannot be defeated.
But will they unite?
From present indications they will not.
The most of them are stronger democrats
than they are aliiaccemen; and besides, they
are very independent men. They are not
likely to think the alliance leaders know
better than they who ought to be chosen
senator.
A great many of them have been in
structed to vote for Gov. Gordon, aid they
will obey their instructions. The wishes of
their constituents will have more weight
with them than the argument of those alli
ance leaders who desire to defeat Gov.
Gordon.
The alliance members are going to do a
great deal of Clinking between now and the
time the legislature meets about this ques
tion of the senatorship. And the chances
are they will make up their minds to be
guided by their own judgments.
The only difference bet ween Gov. Gordon
and the alliance is the sub-treasury bill.
The Atlanta Constitution, said the other
day that no breach occurred between the
alliance and Gov. Gordon “until in an evil
hour the governor was prevailed upon to
announce his emphatic opposition to the
sub-treasury bilL”
Is it a fact that the governor was “pre
vailed upon” to announce his opposition to
the sub-treasury bill, or did he do so because
he did not believe the bill to be a wise one?
The prevailing impression is that hecouldn’t
conscientiously support the bill, and frankly
said so. In that case there was no neces
sity for prevailing upon him to announce
his opposition to it.
And if he believed the bifr was not a good
one and would not benefit the farmers it
was not an “evil hour” when he announced
his opposition to it. It would have been
wrong for him to have permitted the
alliance to think be favored the bill when,
as a matter of fact, he did not. Alliance
men ought to honor him all the more for
dealing with them in an honest and straight
forward manner. They Bhould remember
that by saying nothing he would have had
no opposition for senator. He preferred
defeat to demogogy and dishonesty.
Allianoemen would have had cause to
complain of him if he had permitted them
to think he favored the sub-treasury bill
if he did not favor it But he does favor
relief for farmers and can be depended upon
to support any practical plan for their re
lief. Would it not be better to have suoh a
man for a seuator than one wedded to a
bill which has not a ghost of a chance of
becoming a law ?
The Democracy le Organized.
The statement is boing pretty freely cir
culated by the democratic newspapers that
the Democratic party is doing very little
toward carrying the congressional elections.
The statement is true. The national demo
cratic committee doesn’t interest itself to
any great extent in congressional elections.
It reserves its strength for the presidential
elections. The damocratio congressional
committee, of which Representative Flower
is chairman, has as yet done nothing more
than send out a few campaign documants.
It has no money aud it doesn’t seem dis
pose! to tako hold of congressional cam
paign work earnestly and energetically.
Thodettmcracy in all parts of the couutry,
however, is organized and is battling vigor
ously for its principles. Indeed, ths de
mocracy under its local leaders is always
thoroughly organized for the reason that
it has priuciples in which its members be
lieve, and for which they are willing to
make sacrifices. It does not need to be
directed by a few great bosses at the na
tional capital.
Until quite recently it was the impres
sion, oven of republicans, that the demo
crats would win the next House, and the
democrats still have that impression. The
republicans recently, however, have been
talking as if they had confidence in their
ability to retain control of the
next House. The reason for their
confidence is the passage of the tariff
bill. They do not, of course, expect
that that bill will increase the popularity of
their party with the people, but they do
expect that it will yield them a sum of
money sufficient to buy the close oougres
sio ial districts.
When Senator Quay, the chief of the re-
publican national oommtttee, brought about
the postponement of the consideration of
the force bill in order to secure the passage
of the tariff bill, he had in view, not the
interests of the people of any section of the
country, but a big campaign fund with
which to carry the congressional elections.
He knew that if the tariff bill became a
law, affordlug, as it does, the protected
monopolies and trusts an opportunity to rob
the people, those benefited by it would con
tribute money liberally to the republican
campaignfund, and bo was Dot mistaken.
He believes that the surest way to
carry an election is by the
plentiful use of money, and money
he expects to have before long. The pro
tected monopolies and trusts are making
liberal donations to the republican corrup
tion fund, and within a very few days, it is
expected, there will bs money enough on
hand to give very generous assistance to
every republican congressman who needs it.
The republican busies in Washington, it
would seem, intend to corrupt the suff rage
to an extent suffi ’ient to give them the ma
jority of the next House.
Although the democrats are organized, it
is evident that they must not content them
selves with doing an ordinary amount of
campaign work. They must see to it that
every democratic vote in every congres
sional district in the country that can pos
sibly be obtained goes into the bal
lot box. They must depend upon energy,
enthusiasm and love of party to offset
the boodle me hods of the republicans.
They must expose the oorrupt practices of
the republicans, aud by that means draw
voters, who want a pure government, away
from the Republican party. The democrats
have no money to spend for stump speakers
and campaign literature, but they can
promise that they will faithfully and
economically administer the government if
intrusted with it, and that, too, with the
assurance that their promise w.ll be kept.
If they do their duty faithfully Senator
Quay and other republican leaders will not
he able to get a majority of the next House,
notwithstanding their expenditure of a vast
amount of boodla
Colon has bad still another fire. If this
sort of thing continues the existence of the
town will be brought to a period.

A number of people, since the arre-t, find
they posses silver dollars nearly but not quite
genuine.
A Cincinnati firm of tailors recently adver
tised for a young man to learn the trade.
Among the aniwers received was the following
from an Indiana town: “Dear Sirs—l am a
young man, 19 years of age and weigh 150
jounds, and am 5 feet 10 inches in bight, have
irown hair and eyes and am light complected.
1 belong to no church, but am hot a profained
mail. 1 stand in first class socieiy, and am out
of employment. I will give you a few refer
ences.” Then follows a list of about 100 names
of citizens, ranging in importance lrom mayor
to the official drayman.
A patient formerly confined in the hospital
for the insane in Hartford, Conn., seemed fond
of reading, and in taking up a newspaper it was
noticed that be was reading aloud without hesi
tation, whether the paper was sidewise or bot
tom side up. Asa further test of his powers
one of tbe attendants held a newspaper spread
out before him, keeping it continually turning
around; still, with wonderful ease, tbe lunatic
continued to read uninterruptedly. To test him
still further a reel was procured and the paper
spread out and at;a bed to tbe arms, the whole
then placed before the patient. No matter how
rapidly the reel was turned the wonderful
creature would read article after article aloud
without seeming to be disturbed in the 1 ast.
We have never heard whether the singular phe
nomenon was continued, or even whether the
patient is still living or not.
Senator Platt of Connecticut is the only
senator who deigns to sit in the outer room of
the Senate restaurant and eat his luncheon with
the committee clerks and Strang, rs, toys the
New York Nun. Perhaps he does not like the
mingled odors of tbe stuffy room in which the
senatorseat baked applet aud custard, the two
delicacies most sought by the senators. Or
perhaps he is queer In his luncheon as he is in
reading. He certainly takes curious freaks in
his choice of mental pabulum. A short time
ago he wanted to know everything there was
to know about earthworms, and he got from
the library or bought no end of books aud
pamphlets on the subject. Probably there is
not a bugman in the United States who can dis
count Senator Platt on the earthworm racket.
Next he started on Dickens and reread every
Rtory written by the great novelist. Having
finished Dickens he turned his attention to de
tectives stories. Paper covers have no terrors
for him. New York Weekly stories and all he
swallows with equal enjoyment.
The number of pension claims already filed
under the new dependent pension law has
reached 445,018, and they are increasing at the
rate of about 16,000 a week. Tbe entire num
ber of claims will not fall short of 600,000. and
they may go above 750,000. As yet none of the
new cases have be n taken up, nor will they be
until the new force of 400 clerks shall be se
cured. The old clerks are being promoted and
tbe new appointments come by way of the civil
service commission. All these new people have
to b< trained to the work. The greatest delay
in adjusting the claims will be die to the time
taken In getting the reports of the examinations
by the local examining boards. The new law
will put at least #2,000.000 in the pockets of
those doctors all over the country who are
lucky enough to be members of tbe >ocal boards.
About one-third of these doctors ore demo rats,
It being the custom to appoint two republicans
and one cemocrat on a board. Theclaim agents
will make about $5,000,000 out of the new bill,
the fee being $lO with $2 for postage and several
odd silver quarters for affidavits.
While in England, the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbot
visited the smallest church In England, at Nast
Dale Head. And the parson’s wife gave him
some facts about the church which Dr. Abbot
labels “important if true,” such as that tbe age
of the church is unknown, that its endowment
fund is 2 shillings and a bottle of wine and a
loaf of bread for tbe communion, which curries
back the age of the churoh, she opines, to the
ye ir 1000 at least; that tbe entire population of
the parish is fiftjr-two, men, women and chil
dren, and the average attendance fifty-two; that
the vicar's wife is organist and bell-ringer, and
sweeps and dusts and perforins in general all
the 1 .evitical functions of the temple, which is
42x16 feet in size; that the vicar's salary—
stipend, they call it—is 1165 ($325), pai l out of
the missionary funds of the established church;
that the previous vicars liave been drinking
men and no honor to their cloth: and that the
total contributions of the worshippers in the
parish amounted for the three years of the
present vicar’s charge, to less than 2 shillings.
He Doesn't Speak His Mind.
Carlisle Smith in Brooklj/n Eagle.
He never wrote a Dove!, but
He's always threatened to.
When he’d escaped the business rut
And with bis trade got through:
But there bas been so much to do,
With buyer aud with seller.
The muse has never seemed to woo
This literary feller.
His hair has the Byronic cut;
His eyes are softly blue;
He has an A. C. Swinburne strut,
An Oscar Wildey “pooh!”
But Oscar’s muse he don’t pursue,
Though certainly he’d quell her.
If to his trade he say adieu—
This literary feller.
He dwells in an aesthetic hut.
With little retinue.
There’s not a scientific nut
That he cannot subdue.
His mind is said to be askew.
Else he would not repel her
Tbe muse, the philosophic shrew
This literary feller.
ENVOY.
Egad! methinks his soheme is true 1
Why touch the parchment yellor
When people, none the less, dub you
“This literary feller?"
Forrest Astonished the President.
Another (food Forrest story is related by Dr.
Kane of New Orleans, in the Washington fVi:
"One night during the war Forrest was in
Washington. The play was ‘Richelieu.’ Presi
dent Lincoln, accompanied by Forney, Seward
and several prominent members of the admin
istration was seated in a private box at the left
of the stage. In political opinions Forrest was
directly opposed to them. When in the grand
apostrophe to the “pen” Mr. Forrest rose
solemnly and deliberately, facing the Presi
dent's box With the pen held majestically aloft,
hiseyes flashing Are, the tones of that wonder
ful voice vibrating through the theatre, and
speaking with unusual deliberation and em
phasis, he gave such a rendering of Bulwer's
lines as must have astonished tue President:
Beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Take away the sword;
States can be saved without it.
He looked the party squarely in the face, as
much as to say: “And that's my personal
opinion, too." The shot hit its mark. There
ensued some whispered remarks between For
ney and Linooln, and a deprecatory shake of
the hea l on the part of the latter, accompanied
by a dubious eovatloa of the eyebrows, as
much as to say: “Well, I never heard tnat
passage read in that way before."
Lily la Having a Blooming Time.
Mrs. Langtry, who has bsen “doing" Paris in
an unusually thorough manner for a woman, is
having a dress made by Worth, says the New
York .Sun. It is a long redmgote, made of a
kind of red velvet, the nap of which is a deli
cate ashes-of-ro6es color, with a ground of duep
orange. The bottom of the rediDgote is cut out
in long, narrow, square scollops nearly five
inches deep. It Is tight-fitting, no buttons show,
and is hooked under the left arm from the arm
pit to the waist. There are pockets on the hips
trimmed with a deep fringe of jet. The sleeves
are of brocaded sarin, pale blue, with a pattern
of the ashes of-roses color. They are full at the
top. tight at the wrist and finished with a band
of gold saloon. The whole style of the dress is
intended to follow that supposed to be torn
under her armor by Jenna* d’Arc.
