Developing the Country.

AS Congress has now assembled, it
may not be uninteresting for taxpayers
to take brief survey of the lobby and
see what that delectable body has in
hand. For eight or ten years past the
lobby has been the power behind the
throne, and in order that we may form
some idea of what Congress Will do, it is
necessary to see what the lobby will re.
quire of it.
Combinations of INSCRIPTIONS men,
both in and out of Congress, have been
so successful in their raids upon the
National Treasury, for the past few
years, that, Notwithstanding the indig-
nation which the people have lately ex-
pressed through the ballot-box, we find
that we have large and powerful COM
bination ON hand whose avaricious spirit
and ravenous appetite is not to be stayed
by any disapproval which the people
may show so long as Congressman are
willing and anxious to aid and assist
them.
The following is a portion of the
amount which Congress will be asked to
place in the pockets of private corpora
tions, and consequently take out, by
taxation, of the pockets of the dear
people:
Bond subsidy to the Northern Pacific rail-
road. sec, 5000
Bond subsidy TO the Southern Pacific rail-
road .......... 600
Assumption of debts of Southern States 100000
Subsidy to Virginia and James River ca
nal ............ 100000
Same to Georgia and Alabama canal. 100000
Purchase of Erie canal and its enlarge
OO,OOOsVOO
Purchase of telegraphs 49,. 100000
Refunding cotton taxi. .......... 20, 100000
Claims of Southern loyalists. ......... 20,0OO,0O0
Central Pacific. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 100000
Here, then, we have the neat little sum
of S67S, 600, 900 which patriotic and pub
ic-spirited citizens require from Con-
gress that they may be enabled to develop
the country; and unless the fall elections
shall exercise a restraining influence
upon that body, these cormorants will
get all they ask, and several millions
thrown in. Taxpayers, how do you
like this system of development ?-Er-

The summary OF the CELSIUS IaDOrs Il
the last three decades is as follows

Grand total. IA, ,s25 19,l2S,75l 2l,665,O62
Under the phrase "all others are
included Mormons, Shakers, Spiritual
lists, and unknown. Moreover, in the
above summary there is no division
among Baptists, Presbyterians, and so
on, although the fact is that there are
some seven or eight kinds of Baptists,
of whom several scarcely deserve the
name. The same is true of the ten or
fifteen divisions of Presbyterians, and
likewise of the UNCONVENTIONAL ramifca-
tons of Methodism. The above show
ing, therefore, is one which is in the
highest degree complimentary to the
sects named, in that it gives them credit
for the strength of the regular demon
nations, and also credits to each one
of these regular heads all the irregular
and lateral organizations between
which and the regular head there is but
the least sympathy or similarity.
In order to exhibit the relative status
of the various denominations, there is
appended the per cent. of increase of
the principal denominations within the

Cooperative Stores and Chicago
Merchants.

The grangers have lately started CO.
operative store in one of the interior
counties in Iowa, which promises well to
all the parties interested. One of the
gentlemen writes us their agent came to
Chicago one day last week and left with
one wholesale firm over $1,000. The
eatire stock was purchased IN
this city for cash, and amounted to
about $500. Another similar store
has also been started at Ames, Iowa,
and some of the leading officers of the
Agricultural College there are watching
its operations with great care. These
stores are increasing in great numbers,
under the patronage of the oranges;
and the farmers, where there are not
stores, are purchasing their supplies
from first hands. One concern in this
city is selling from s., 900 to $1,000
day on cash orders from oranges and
farmers clubs. 1t is comparatively
new wholesale grocery house. Other
stores that have turned their attention
to this kind of trade are doing equally
well yet there is a class of dry goods
housewife dry goods superficial
policy-whose drllmmers parade around
the hotels, and proclaim they do not
want any of the farmers patronage.
We shall publish list of these gentry
before long, who are stupid enough to
pretend that the color of one mans
money is better than that of another.
We want the farmers and working men
to know who the stoid blockheads are
a class of men who are strutting around
and taking on the airs Of business men,

THE GRANGER,s SONG.
Come fellow Changers, one and all
Ye tillers Of the soil
Throw out your pillow, and for awhile
Rest from your daily toll.

Come fellow Changers, one and all
Ye tillers Of the soil
Throw out your pillow, and for awhile
Rest from your daily toll.
Come, let rs in our oranges meet,
And counsel with each other;
Establish unions Of our craft
Fer helping one another.
Most other trades have organized
In unions for protection,
And if the farmers organize
There should be no objection.
Our produce is the staff OF life;
On il all must rely;
Without the fruits of our toll
Both nan and beast must die.
without our produce but one year,
Our cause would be complete;
And every one would come to us,
And beg for bread and meat
We have been badly used of late,
And may be so again
Sorely oppressed by corporations,
And by souiless middle-men.
But every dog viii have its day,
And every moon its changes;
And soon a mighty change will be
Effected by the oranges.
Not long can corporations rule,
To their own hearts content;
Or middle-men forever take
Their ufTty-tIree per cent.
And priests and preachers no more need
Tho they may think il odd)
To interfere on our behalf
Between us and our God.
We wish to deal direct and square
As near as we can;
And not allow ourselves TO be
Fleeced by a middle-rnSn.

that the 0ssipee put into Frying Pan Shoals,
off Cane lear, with her charge and came to
anchor. rbe next morning the Virginius sig
nailed the Ossipee she was sinking. The
crew were at once transferred to the latter, the
hauser was cut, and the Virginius went to the

mast above water, which is all of the Virginius
that is left to wrangle over.

A BOY two years old, son of Mrs.
Desplaines of Randolph street, swal-
lowed a thimble, and as soon as his
mother ascertained the fact she called
in the neighbors and tainted away.
Some of the wise old women suggested
standing the boy ON his head !; others
talked of looping string and fishing
after the thimble as people go for a
cork in bottle, while others ran out
after small boys, and sent them for
doctors. Three doctors arrived stimuli
taneously, and after engaging in an
angry discussion over the respective
merits of allopathy and homeopathy,
they went off without doing anything,
and another was sent for to attend the
mother. Up to dark last night the boy
had not complained, but in these hard
times there's no knowing how anything
will end.--Dan6ury NetOs.

THE REPUBLICAN PAnTY.-Under the cap
tion Of "The Republican Party To-day =
Harper's Weekly utters these truthful and
incontrovcrtible words:
Within the few months past the Repub-
licans have had the good sense and the
courage to repeal the "salary grab = act for
which, although warmly supported by many
Democrats, they must, as the majority, bear
the responsibility. They have abolished in
the House, the moicty system, after a
thorough examination conducted by a Re-
publican committee. They have repealed the
Sarllp2rh contract law. passed by Republican
Congress, and they have solemnly ccnsured,
in adopting tho report of tho Committee of
Ways and Means, the Republican Secretary,
Assistant Secretary, and Solicitor of the
Treasury. They have thoroughly investigated
the management of the District of Columbia
under the Territorial system established by
Republicans, and it is understood that the
report will deal as vigorously with the results
as the other committees and reports have
dealt with the other abuses which have been
exposed. The great scheme of imitation,
passed by both houses, was power
fully opposed by the most eminent Republican
leaders, and was supported by the divided
Democratic as we'll as Republican vote, while
the Republican President, in accord with the
spirit Of the national declaration of the party,
vetoed it.

WMAr MAKE TEA CosT.--As tea comes n
long distance and passes through many hands
before it reaches the consumer, the cost of
transportation, together with several inter-
mediate commissions and profits make up the
grcatcst part of the price to the consumer.
The State Department has recently received
quotations of the prices Of tea in Japan and
China, which range, according to quality,
from S1S to $50 per "picul," which is n
weight Of 13i pounds in Japan and 133i
pounds IN China so that practically these
wholesale quotations of tea at the shipping
ports are from fourteen cents (silver) pound
for common tea to thilty-eight cents pound
for the very best. Then 1t has to be carried
half way around the world at q cost (includ-
ing the insurance) probably Of five to eight
cents u pound, according to the routes. Oul
tea buyers, who know what they are paying
for the beverage, can easily sec what the cost
Of transportation and other charges mean
There is now no duty ON imported tea.

THE WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-Lieuten-
ant Marshall, in his report Incorporated in the
report of the Select Committee of the House
of Representatives ON the Washington Monu-
mcnt, proposes to carry the shaft to 400 feet
reducing the thickness of the walls above the
portion now built, and substituting brick for
stone filling. This will lessen the pressure by
about two-thirds, without affecting the
stability of the shaft. Instead of the colon
made pantheon around the base, Lieutenant
Marshall proposes a terrace of 200 feet square
at the top and II feet high, with grass plots,
paved walks and stone steps. All the draw
ings, specifications, &C., belonging to the
original plan are lost and the Monument As
sociation has no estimates whatever of-the
cost Of completing the work. Lieutenant
Marshall places it at S44s,534 for the shaft
alone. On the reduced scale suggested the
obelsk could be finished for $245, 900, and the
terrace constructed for SG5, 200 total cost,
$3io, 500. Time required, 537 working days.
The committee recommend an appropriation
by Congress to carry out this plan.

Robert Hunt says of the sun; /" The sun
is not burning hot. After tho lapse of thou
sands of years the light Of to-day is no less
brilliant than it was when man lived in his
that the sun of the present summer shines
with the same splendor rs when myriads of
ages before man appeared on this planet it
stimulated the growth of those luxuriant for
ests which formed by their decay those vast
beds from which we derive our coal. Not a
ray less is poured out in any hour of Sunshine.
Not the weight of even a grain of matter is
lost from the mass of the sun. If either tho
sunshine was weakened, or the weight of the
vast globe diminished, the planets would vary
in their physical conditions, and the orbits
would be changed"

A young woman in New York recently an
swered an advertisement of a man in Omaha,
who stated that he wanted wife. The pre-
liminaries were arranged by letter, and she
eventually started for Omaha, to marry the
man she had never seen. On arriving there
she was very much disappointed with his ap-
pearance. The lovely black moustache and
the brilliant pair OF indolent brown eyes with
which her fancy had invested him proved to
be entirely wanting, and, in reply to his ten
der greeting, she very plainly Informed him
that she would not marry him ON any account.
The following day the gentleman was arrest
ed by the United States Marshal for robbing

THE FATHER OF THE ANTHRACITE Iron
TaADE.--Very few persons, says the Balti-
more Gazette, know that the father of the
immense anthracite iron trade is still living.
David Thomas, the. inventor of the blast
furnace, is the oldest citizen of Catasauqua,
ON the Lehigh river. Before his time, no one
thought Of smelling iron anywhere but in the
large cities, Mr.. Thomas having experiment.
ed, but without success, until he found the
merits of the hot blast. This was in Wales,
in 1887, and from his little furnace, thus
erected has sprung the great anthracite iron
trade of Pennsylvania for, in 1889, Mr..
Thomas came to Mauch Chunk to erect
furnaces for the Lchigh Coal and Navigation
Company. He then settled there, and built
furnaces, and engaged in trade, and now at
eighty is one Of the richest men in the coal
regions. He is said to be rs active rs a man
of twenty, and to think nothing of visiting
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, or New
York, If the fancy takes him.
