Verily it Seems that Kunnels county would furnish an excellent abode for one hunting a home in fho west. The Democrats l!it/fit. Democrats in Congress have nothing to fear from an extra ses¬ sion of tho Fifty-first Congress; all they have to do is to consci¬ entiously perform their duties and let the future take care of itself. If tho republicans persist in de¬ voting the time which should rightfully be given to a consider¬ ation of tho annual appropriation bill4 and other necessary legisla¬ tion to obnoxious political meas¬ ures, that party will lmvo to shoulder the responsibility of bringing about an outirely unnec¬ essary extra session, with its at¬ tendant expense. Looking at the matter from a party standpoint, an extra session would, we believe, for numerous reasons, be an ad¬ vantage to the democratic party, but we have no idea that such being .the case will have tho slight¬ est influence with the democratic leaders of tho present Congress, who, we are satisfied, are con¬ vinced of the folly of following tho republican Congressional ex¬ ample of regarding nothing else but party advantagoju tho shap¬ ing of legislation. The people expeet something higher, better and more patriotic from the dem¬ ocratic party, and they ought not o be disappointed, and wo haven't the slightest idea that they will be.. Farmers not Deceived. Verily it seems to us that some newspapers have gotten in siich a habit of demagoguing w ith mt'rs for tlieif patronage that, if tlie l nited States government wa ® 1° appoint a committee to in vestigato the character and cur a tive properties of Dr. Ivoch lymph to see whether it should be allowed in the country as u ourc for consumption, they w ould com¬ plain if that committee were not composed of farmers. What has become of the eternal fitness of things? Does the fact that a man is . farmer capacitate him a for ev ery difficult duty that could l>e entrusted to mortals? it is not so with other occupations, The practice of law dees not learn one to farm. The practice of medicine not docs teach one min ng and all sensible me n ° fel V ixug are aware that it is not ex pected of them to, know every hiug, and that each one is lu( ., pit jficient i P las own profession. !

The democrats en¬ tered the fight against the Force bill determined to take advantage oi any opportunity that might of¬ fer to defend it, and they were fortunate enough not only to suc¬ ceed in having tho most obnoxi¬ ous measure ever before Congress laid aside, it is to be hoped per¬ manently, but in getting up a bill, whieh, when amended, will aftord tho country a much needed finan¬ cial reliei. It is hoped that the financial bill may be disposed of in the Senate in a few days, and it will be, unless the republicans can succeed in whipping enough of their Senators into agreeing to take up the Force bill again, or the anti-silver republicans, who are now hatching up some mis¬ chief, unless all signs fail, shall resort to filibustering to prevent a vote. If it passes the Sanato Speaker Reed and Mr. Harrison will have a hard time to stop it in the House, and it is extremely doubtful whether Mr. Harrison, in view of his condidacy for a re nomination, will dare to veto it, as he would otherwise like to do. Democrats are feeling very jubi¬ lant over, their victory, as they have a light to do; it was fairly earned by vigilance and constant attondauce upon the sessions of the Senate, no matter what the inconvenience might be to indi¬ vidual Senators. How the mighty have fallen! Ex-Senator Mahone, who once posed as tho Czar of the United States Senate, is now dividing his time between poker playing and lobbying. Ho has a piece of “made ‘ ground, which he bought for a song, that he wants to sell to the Government at an exhorbi taut price as a site for the new G overnment Printing office, ami lie is lobbying to carry out design. He also lias cheme that has “millions in it - ’, provided the Force bill ever comes a law, in the shape of a patent ballot box, ostensibly owned by his son, which lie culates to selL to the Government, to be used at every voting pre einct ip the United States. He w ill have to work fast, as afterthe fourth of next March the name Mahone will be all that will be needed to kill any •measure that gets before the democratic House- T! , imistrftticm . enis to be „ as bii; 4, a mess or Indian " evervtiiing matters as ; of Asiatic, else it has tore, lC ,l. „iri,>,»,vll , mtrrive VfcAdoo ' Ill , ,.u,>p.e.^>>\ , a, {.T V- f v ‘rt that the aiiVo-iigai ion ill cxpp..o ,t .shameful state of airnir n is still hammering _ The House - away on the Shipping hill, and its clain.

The two new Senators from Ida ho, who cast their maiden votes to lay aside the Force bill, have according, to custom drawn lots to decide upon their respeetative terms. Mr. Shoup got the long term which expires Mar. 4, 1895, and Mr. McConnell the short term, which ends with the present Congress. It never looked more like an extre ses.ion of the Ffty-second congress than it does now. A public meeting of the citizens of Covington will be held to-day to libmiuate' a ticket for mayor and council of that city for the year 1891.
