ns- The restitution on account OF

The restitution on account OF
property and want of food and cloth
ing Kansas, Arkansas, Western Ne
braska and in the Scranton Pa. coal
regions is daily becoming more Sc
we're Every farmer in the first
three named States has at least 100
acrcs of good land, but man cannot
live on land alone, nor upon the ex-
pectancy of good crop next year.
These men and their families, victims
of the grasshoppers, will have to be
provided for, at least for six months,
besides being supplied with seed for
the next planting. The Legislatures
OF their respective States should take
their cases in hand this winter. ln
the Scranton coal region is an ines
1imsbIe wealth of coal, but the idle
and destitute miners cannot exist on
black diamonds. The hard times
and themselves have brought the
present trouble upon them, snd
there appears no prospect OF relief
until spring. Meanwhile Charity, II
she is willing to contribute to the
needs of a quarrelsome and murder
GUS company, will have to keep them
and their poor wives ard children
from starving.

e@ Although the President will
be left without a political majority
in the next House, his position will
be by no mears an exceptional one.
Other Presidents since 1886 have had
the same experience. The Congress
elected in 1888, two years after Van
Buren's political triumph, was prac-
tically against him. The Wings car
ried the House in 1910, along With
Harrison, but lost it in 1912. The
Congress chosen in 1916 was against
Polk SO was that in 1850 against
TAYLOR, and that of 1854 against
Pierce, and of 1858 Buchanan. The
Congress of 1866 was against John
son, and the Democrats gained large
" in 1870. 1t is therefore nothing
surprising that the Forty-fourth Con.
gross should be against President
Grant, but it is some satisfaction tt
remember that the Senate remain:
Republican, and no obnoxious po-
Iiticsl measures can be foisted upon
the people by the Democratic ma
iorily in the lower branch.

M-The Chicago Inter Ocean has a
special dispatch from Washington,
giving credence to the report that
there are spectators in some of the
Southern states actually engaged in
buying up claims for slaves, in the
belief that the time is coming when
the United Stntes will pay for them.
In somo instances as high as one
hundred dollars has been paid for a
single claim, and among those said
to be engaged in the business is no
less a prominent person than ex>Sen-
ator Yulee, OF Florida. Already the
benefcent results of the late Demo-
cratic victories seem to be cropping

sA-It would appear that the Great
Powers of Europe have determined
wholly to break off diplomatic rela-
tions with Pope Plus. Atleast, Ger
many, Prussia, France, and England
are now not represented. by any
ministerial or other officials, at the
Vatican. It seems that the purpose
is to regard the Pope, not as an
earthly sovereign, but simply as
head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Of course, there are ambassadors
from the principal sovereigns to
Victor Emmanuel, as King of Italy.

SUGGESTIONS.

1t IS the duty of Congress to devise the
methods of correcting the evils which are aco
knowledged to exist, and not mine; but will
venture to suggest two or three things which
seem to me as absolutely necessary TO re-
turn to specie payments. The first great re-
quiste in return to prosperity is that the
legal tender clause to the law authorizing the
issue of currency by the National Government
should be repealed, to take effect as to all cons
tracis entered into after a day fixed in the
repeating aet--not to apply, however, to the
payment or soldiers by the Government,
or Tor other expenses now provided by law to
be paid in currency In the interval pending
between the repeal and the final resumption,
