All new beginners succeed grandly,—
liberal ever of
ten cartoons the re-assembly of
congress. It represents ft host of
statesmen flying to the capitol,
while the statute of liberty, whieh
surmounts the dome, is saying:
“Here they come again, and I won’t
have a moment’s peace all winter.”
If the bronze beauty of the dome
does really regret the return of
congress she enjoys a monopoly o^
that feeling. Washington is delight
ed over it. The hotels have filled
up their deserted rooms; the streets
are no longer quiet; the shops have
assumed a holiday gaiety, and the
landlady has ceased to be forlorn.
All on account of the return of about
four hundred gentleman who left
the city in July..
THE GREAT CROWD TO COME.
But this little group is the center
and the attraction for a great and
variegated mass of humanity. Not
until this band and its myriad han
gers-on arrive can “the season” be
gin at the nation’s capital. Congress
assembled on Monday to remain in
session until the-fourth of next
March. It has about seventy-five
working days. .Yet this brief ses
sion will mark, perhaps, the liveli
est winter in the history of a city
more famous for excitement than
for piety. Added to the rapid
growth and increasing, extrava
gance of the city itself are other
conditionfconducive to a splendid
season. It is the ending of an old
and the beginning of a new admin
istration, an event which invaria
bly attracts a great rush to the cap
itol. It is much more. It is a return
of a long beaten party to the place
>f power, and it is but natural that
its followers should want to witness
its triumphal reinstatement into
office. That a few gentleman will
come with motives somewhat more
selfish does not reflect on them and
is a tribute to the genius of our pop
ular institutions. In a multitude
of office seekers enough good men
are sure to be found to fill all the
places big ond little.
A POLITICAL SESSION.
It has been well said that this
will be a political rather than a leg
islative session. Little regular work
is expected of congress. The com
mon expression of
its? members is that
little will be attempted. Mr. Ran
dall had his appropriations commit
tee cutting out the necessary work
last week. All its general bills will
be ready at an early stage of the
session andean be passed whenev
er congress chooses.
When they are out of the way
several measures that have been
clamoring for consideration for
some time will come to the front.
Judge Reagan is determined to
push his interstate commerce bill
through the crevice big enough' to
admit it to a discussion of its merits.
He grows constantly more aggres
sive in the advocasy of his darling
scheme. The opposition to it in his
own committee has tried Iris pa
tience and annoyed him witn the
suggestion that a hearty backing
from the committee might accom
plish what he regards as the great
possible reform of the day.
THE MEXICAN PENSIONS.
The Mexican pension bill after
the doctoring it received in the sen
ate is back in the house, a far dif
ferent measure from what it was-
when it left there—far different too
from any bill that can pass. A con
siderable struggle is looked for
when the bill comes up, as it cer
tainly will before the session ends
The McPherson banking bill is
regarded by many of the members
as of prime importance in this time
of financial stringency. Petitions
from all parts of the union were
telegraphed to the house during
the last hours of the former session
begging this bill or some similar
measure be passed.
Difference between the house and
senate last session on the electoral
count bill discourages the hope
that any action on this important
question shall betaken in the pres
ent congress. The existing law is
admitted by all to be dangerously
defective. It was dodged in ’76 by
an expedient that will never he tol
distaste
ful to some of the advocates of the
house and the difficulty of construc
ting a bill that will become a law
ig great.
Of the passage of a bankrupt law
law at this session there is not a
ghost of a chance.
Several more land grants which
railroads have not earned may be
forfeited so far as the action of the
house can do so, but the corpora
tions interested look hopefully to
the senate for succor by enaction.
THE TERRITORIES.
Dakota and Washington territo
ries will have their usual lobbies at
work to pave their way into the
union, but they will have to wait—
probably several sessions yet. Just
now we have states enough.
Whatever may be considered, you
may be sure of one question that
will not come up—that is the tariff
Mr. Carlisle has said so. Mr. Mor
rison is silent as the grave. Frank
Hurd has come back, looking meek
as a lamb, and Joe Blackburn will
not sound hie foghorn on this theme,
at least before he goes into the sen
ate next March. For the present
the tariff reformer is out .of a job.
Any programme that is adopted
will afford enough material to make
these three months wide awake in
teresting and important to the coun
try. It would be a great event, a
very unusual one, too, if congress
simply met and after counting out
the money to meet the next year’s
expenses just left the country to
work out its ow.n salvatian under
already existing laws. At any rate
doing nothing is preferable to do
ng wrong. F. H. R,-
A Bad Subject.
Col. Mateland was recently ap
pointed agent of a well known life
insurance company. The high
standing of the Colonel and his ex
cellent qualifications as a business
man immediately secured for him
a remunerative run of business.
The other day while sitting in his
office a healthy looking young man
entered and said he would like to
have his life insured. “I am in
something of a hurry,” said he, “for
my friends are waiting for me there
at the door. I want a $10,000 poli
cy.”
The company’s physician, who
was present, pronounced him sound
and the policy was soon-made out.
Several days later a man met the
Colonel in the street and said:
“What business did young Blu-
mus have with you the other day 9 ”
“Had his life insured.”
“And you insured it?”
Of course. Why shouldn’t I? He
is in good health.”
“But I believe he will die sudden
ly.”
“We have an eminent physician
to decide upon such possibilities.
What makes you think he will die
suddenly?”
“Oh, it’s nothing to me, Colonel.
If your physician knows all right.
The young fellow requested that he
bo allowep to go out and settle up
his private affairs and the Judge
granted it.”
“The Judge?” gasped tho Colo
nel.
“Yes, the Circuit Judge. You see
the young man is to be hanged next
Friday.”—Arkansaw Traveler.

If a telegram from Atlanta to the
Nashville American is to bo accep
ted as literally (and not figuratively
only) true, the dignified, reserved
and learned Samuel J. Randall
must have been strangely affected
by the Atlanta air as soon as he
reached that town. The telegram
says: “When Mr. Randall arrived
last night, owing to the disarrange
ment of the schedules
it was at an , hour
when no one was present to receive
him, and he retired quietly to his

however, before his privacy was

The Message:
The President’s message Will not
appear to the general reader as a
remarkable document iiv any res
pect. It is about the regulation
length, and it reviews aqd approves
the reports of Secretaries of the diff
erent departments of gthe govern
ment in the usual wayl :
There is no particular reason,
however, why it should be remark
able, or why it should contain any
thing startling. The country is at
peace With all nations, and the out
look for a prosperous . 'future, is
promising. Thernesaagf^ taken all
in all, is a plain, unpretentious and
sensible State paper, and/s in ad
mirable keeping with thp tune of
Mr. Arthur’s administration, is res
pectable and satisfactory^.
The message opens with an ex
cellent recommandation. (Ji It is that
Congress without further 4 e lay P r0_
vide a better method fot u; counting
the electoral vote. Congficss has
been tinkering with’thiSfSybj ect for
along while, and has mqye scarce
ly any progress with it. The coun
try wants Congress to act .with re.
gard to it, it order that ‘ it J; may be
rid of the apprehension of danger
that grows out of it. ■
A good deal appears to have been
done in the way of making treaties
since the last meeting of Congress.
A treaty with regard to a Nicara
gua canal and railroad has been
completed, a commercial’ treaty
with Spain has been arranged and
a treaty with Belgium has been
agreed upon. This commercial
treaty with Spain, considered in
connection with a similar treaty
with Mexico now awaiting ratifica
tion, and the treaty with the Hai-
warin Government, a desire for a
nenewal of which has been express
ed, suggests the idea that the Re
publican party appears to be aim
ing at a certain kind of free trade
by means of commercial treaties.
The President is certainiy right
about one thing, The country has
about all the silver dollars and sil
ver certificates that is good for it.
There*is a danger point in this sil
ver coinage business and it may be
reached sooner than is generally
suspected.' The" - sfilver dollar Is
worth only 85 cents, and the silver
certificate is worth no more. The
Secretary of the Treasury points
out that these silver certificates are
a depreciated currency, and in the
event of financial troubles the peo
ple may refuse ^ take them for
more than they are worth.
The recommendation to call in $1
and $2 bills may be wise, but will
be read by the public with regret-
The repugnance to silver on account
of its weight is v.ery general.
The recommendations relative to
one cent postage on drop letters and
the payment of salaries _to United
States Attorneys and Marshals in
stead of fees, are old but good. No
doubt they Will be adopted in good
time.
The President’s views with res
pect to cultivating closer trade re
lations with the countries sotuh of
us will command attention. It is
certain that we must look in that
direction for much of oue commer
cial prosperity in the future. A
good beginning bis been made by
interesting tbe.Mexican and South
American people in the New Or
leans Exposition.
Of course there is a word of com
mendation for the civil service law.
The Republicans are now particu
larly anxious that the law shall be.
sustained.
The.President realizes that this
is the last message.from a Repubti
can President that will be read to
congress for some time. It may be
the last for many years. The Pres
dent takes the occasion, therefore,
to express his appreciation of the
kindness and courtesy his adminis
tration has received from Congress-
As Mr. Arthur has made a • good
Presiden t, and is liked by Congress
and the country, his expressions of
appreciation are doubtless recipro-
roted by Congress.-r-Savannah
News. •
The State Road and an Assessment Law.
One of the reasons advanced for
the sale the of State Road at this
time is that there is a deficiency in
the State’s revenues of something
like $250,000, and that it will not be
long before the State will be behind
hand in its account $500,000.
A prominent member of the Leg
islature lately stated that to make
up the deficiency and to provide a
revenue that would meet all the
necessary expenses of the State
Government would require an in
crease of taxation of at least 83 per
cent.
The bonded indebtedness of the
State cannot be increased; the con
stitution prohibits anything of that
kind. The only way to get the
8tate out of its present and threat
ened financial troubles, so those
who advocate the sale of the State
Road think, is to sell the road and
apply the money not only to the li
quidation of the floating debt, but
also to the bonded debt. The pro
ceeds of the sale of the road would
clear off so much of the bonded
debt that the sum required for the
interest on the remainder would be
comparatively small, and the pres-
entrevenues,relieved of a large part
of the interest charged, would be
amply sufficient for the need? of the
government.
Independent of the question
whether it is advisable or not to
sell the State Road at the present
time, is it not possible to make the
present tax rate meet- all the ex
penses of the govern ment and even
to provide the meeting the existing
deficiency? Is there an intelligent
member of the Legislature who
does not know that a very large
part of the property of the
State is not taxed at all, and that a
great deal of it is not taxed at any
where near its taxable value? Do
not all the members of the Legisla
ture know that if property were
taxed equally, and somewhere near
its cash value, the revenues of the
State would bemore than sufficient
for'all purposes?
Why, then, do they waste their
time with measures which are of
minor importance, and refuse to
pass an assessment law that would
give satisfaction to taxpayers and
relieve the State of all financial
embarrassments? All honest tax
payers Want a fair and" just assess
ment law. Dishonest taxpayers
would be glad if there were no law
at all.
Year after year this demand for a
better and fairer assessment law
has gone up to the Legislature, and
year after year it has been ignored.
Certainly there must be men in the
present Legislature capable of
framing an assessment law such as
the §tate needs. Of course those
who have managed to escape pay
ing their fair share of taxes thus
far hope to continue to escape. They
Will use their influence to defeat
any legislation that looks towards
equalizing the burdens of taxation,
but are the wishes of these people
to be regarded in preference to the
wishes of honest taxpayers? The
proposition to sell the State Road
and apply the proceeds to the relief
of the State is nothing more than
a proposition to apply the State’s
property to the payment of the tax
es of dishonest taxpayers. We pass
no opinion upon the question of the
advisability of selling, the State
Road, but we do say that the prop
osition to sell the road to meet de
ficiencies ought to open tho eyes of
the Legislature to the necessity of
providing an honest assessment
law.—Savannah News.
BILL ARP AT HOME.
Candy pullings are a nuisance*
but T suppose we have to have
them. I have now arrived at that
age and frame of mind that I sub
mit to'anything—anything to please
the children. And so when they got
their mother’s consent the matter
was all arranged and the company
invited without consulting me.
There was a spare room in the
house and as I had some writing to
do I adjourned myself there to have
a quiet time. While I was rumina
ting before the fire and smoking the
pipe of peace and tranquility the
young folks began to gather and be
fore I knew it the young ladies
were ushered into my room as a re
ception room, and I was kindly in
formed that I would have to va

retired and poked around general
ly. I wish I had a room—
children and thought
but ihhy had a fish pond in onecot-
nt r, behind a curtain, and the ehil-
drer wanted to drop a line just to
see what they would catch—w*ll
that, cost some dimes and next
came a raffle for a fine, large e*ke,
and they all wanted a chance, ewi
Mrs. Arp took 'a notion she could
throw 18 with three dice, and ehore
enough she threw four and retired
with matronly dignity and said she
didn’t want the cake nohow, Well,
the show went on, and on untell
they got all our change and had
enough money to plaster the school
house. There was good music there
and the trustees were consulted by
the young folks about a dance, just
a little dance to wind up on, but
they said “no” and they said it like
they meant it, and I reckon they
did, and the young folks surrender
ed and said, well, if we can t dance
we can have a little twistification.
a room of my own—and Mrs. Arp
says she wishes she had a room—a
room of her own. But she can’t
have one. She never will have one,
for children and grand children
would be lost and I would be lost.
She can’t slip off to Nabor Free
man’s but what a dozen want to
know where she is and when is she
coming back. The dog and the cat
follow her—no she will never have
a room to herself.
But I found good company at the
candy pulling and had a good time
anyhow, for I do love these nabor-
ly visits. I love to see the young
folks happy and I love to discourse
politics and crops and naborhood
news with the older ones. But this
candy business is not all serene,
one of the girls burned her hand
dreadfully and is still carrying it
in a bandage. And then it is so
messy, as Mrs. Arp says. The chil
dren get candy all over the floor
and the tables and bureau. It
sticks to my stockings yet when I
get ready to go to bed. It melts and
smokes on the hearth. The dishes
are all daubed and hard to clean up
again. The door knobs and dipper
handles are sticky and they keep
sticky as long as the candy lasts.
But every pleasure has its draw
back- After every repose the bed
has to be made up. We ride and
drive and then the horse has to be
put up and fed. We dance to sw r eet
music and have to pay- the fiddler.
We go on a picnic or an excursion
and come home tired and weary.
Every pleasure seems to be follow
ed by pain or by trouble just as the
night follows the day. But still it
is right, for it is nature. We live in
contrasts and enjoy them. Suppose
we do hunt all day and find no
game. Hope is a good thing, and it
was one of the questions we used to
debate when I was a boy, “whether
the pursuit or the possession gave
the most pleasure.” I took the af
firmative one time when
Before anybody knew what that
meant the floor was cleared and th
music began and the twistificAiieb,
too, and they twisted all around
and about, and crossed over, aid
hands all round, and changed path-
nors, and promenade all, and parly
voo Francais, and I don’t know
what all, and the solemn trustees
looked on with enjoyment, and
were satisfied because It
was only a twistification.
Wed, it was a goodly frblie
and no feelings hurt, and we all
•went home happy, but awful scare#
of change. Governor Brown has
got some preferred stock in our
school house. We preferred his
money to anybody’s, for he had
more of it. If wo had had him there,
with his swallow-tail coat on, we
would have preferred some more.—
When he gives us two hundred dol
lars more well name it Brown in
stitute. but not till then. The
name is for sale, but we are not
going to do like those Dalton folks
and name our school for him be
fore we get themoney. They hav’nt
got any yet. Governor Brown clonk

nothing. Old father Dobbins ȣ...

He says he has watched them fof
forty years, and every year they

high strung vagabonds, with,
few exceptions. But education Is
the American watchword now, and
we will have to conform. If the na

will find it out sooner or later.

another fellow got possession I
flopped over to the other side. In a
year or so I recovered and pursued

Ammonia in Baking Powders.
Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is
more important than the uses to
which common ammonia can b6
properly put as a leavening agent,
and which indicate that this fami
liar salt is hereafter to perform a*
active part in the preparation of ouf
daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is All
exceedingly volatile substance.
Place a small portion of it upon a
knife and hold over a flame, and
it will almost immediately he in-
tirely developed into gas and pass
off into the air. The gas thus
formed is a simple composition of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No resi
due is left from the ammonia*
This gives it its superiority as a
leavening power over soda and
cream of tartar used alone, and has
induced its use as a supplement to
these articles. A small quantity
of ammonia Is the dough is effective
in producing bread that - will be
lighter, sweeter, and more whole
