The Republican Congress. T..
From the St. Paul Cllobe.
One would hardly look to a con
gressman front Arkansas’, for a fresh
application of scripturc;Kbut Mr.
Jones, iu the tariff discussion in the
senate, found in this passngo in Dan
iel a prophetic picture now available:
“Verily there is a generation whose
teeth are as swords, and their jaw
teeth as knives, to devour the poor
from off the cnrlh and the needy
from nmong men.” That has not be
come obsolete in three thousand years.

The fine hand of republican Mc-
Cuno is seen in this move. Mr. Me-
Cunc, for a republican, is assuming a
good deal in attempting to “fix”

they will flatten him out agaiu—if he
enters the race against John B. Gor
don.

Small pox, in a virulent form, has
broken out in >Vaco and San Antonio,
Texas.
And the tariff mill still grind , and it
grinds, like the mills of ihc gods, ex
ceedingly fine.
We take no stock in the rumor that
Dr. Felton will opposo Gov. Gordon
for the Senate
Dispatches from Washington indi
cate that Norwood is going to opposo
Gordon for the Senate. You c-a-n-t
ninke it Mr. Norwood.
It is thought now that congress will
adjourn sometime in September. It
is a graye question whether the mess*
hers themselves, or the people are
most tired of the prolonged session.
Senator Aldrich, who has charge of
the tariff bill in the Senate, a.ter secur
ing an agreement with the democrats
to that effect, moved, yesterday, to
close the general debate on the vexed
tariff question, on the 1st of Septem
her. Senator Plumb objected, and
the resolution went over.
The Chicago Tribune puts on re
cord the fallowing neat whack at that
interesting arm of the church that does
vocal service near the organ :
“With the permission of the choir,’’
remarked a good old-fashioned preach
er who tiad changed pulpits with his
city brother and had listened wonder-
ingly to the lively organ voluntary, and
the artistic performance of "Nearer,
My Grd, to Thee,” by the soprano
soloist, “we will now res^c the ser
vice of the morning. The congrega
tion will please rise and sing that grand
old hymn, ‘Nearer. My God, to
Thee.’ ”
