81 heard Of him.

SPEAKING Of the meeting Of Congress,
On Monday, the Sentinel says: ''The
political complexion OF Tie two houses
is we'll understood The Senate, which
by wise provision of our constitution
does not respond speedily to panics
or other ephemoral influences such as
sometimes operate upon the people, Is
Republican by a considerable majority.
The House IS Democratic by greater
majority. Therein II fails to represent
the people, as the elections of last month
incontesiibly establish. III the men,
bers, with very few exceptions, We're
chosen over one year ago. 1t may be
very seriously questioned whether this
is not a defect in orr institutions, the
provision by which representatives are
chosen SO long III advance of the time
when they take their seats. Il Is true
that the life of the present Congress be
gan Oh t..le 9Th OF March last bat that
is of little consequence III view of the
facts that the members of the popular
branch DO not take their seats until to-
day. The fact that thirty or forty Dem
ocrao;c members begin today to re-
present districts that are HOW assr1redly
Republican is an argument against the
present system"
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-12-09

BRIGHTER AHEAD. = When a book
agent assured Us, some days ago, that
times were much better, and that he
heard little complaint compared with q
year ago, we considered Is very encour-
aging indication. We notice that New
York papers take cheerful view of the
future. It Is urged that the ;, 900 banks
of the country have surplus and are
more wiling to lend; that Congress cam
not easily legislate SO as 10 disturb iinan-
ees; that the Government Is about to
call in by negotiation all its $40 bonds
and substitute and Il per cent. bonds
which VIII tighten taxation. Further
more, when home capital finds interest
so low 1t will avoid bonds and seek more
profitable investments in business enter
prises. There are other good reasons
for expecting better times.

WEATHER PRoGNosrICArEoNs.- Hav-
ing observed, with care, for the last
hundred years, the habits of the ground
hog, the beaver, mGskrat and the sGuir-
rel, and having carefully estimated ali
the theories of meteor olegy and weather
signs, itroccJured to Us that our ob5erva-
tons might be useful 10 persons desiring
to be informed with regard to the state
of the weather in the future.
The balance OF this month viii he of
a uniform temperature If not otherwise.
Probably about the middle OF the
month it VIII be very Geld if the Their
mometeE gets below zero. But about
Christmas and New Years we may ex-
pecept change IL the calendar. The
month OF January viii not, in this eli
mate, be favorable for gardening. But
the first half o. February Will lie warm
if on the 81 the ground hog don't see
his shadow. If he sees his shadow, then
consult the size Of your wood pile. In
March we viii have good deal of rain
If It doesn't snow, as 1t is hardly posi-
bic TO expect dry time then. In April
we will have alternate sunshine and
cioudF weather with some rain, and in
May we may expect a tllaw, if not soon
er. Beyond thus, deponent saith not.

The Forty-fourth Congress will have
one unique case of contested election to
decide. Tt may be summarized as a
case of cheek, colossal cheek, enough to
equip regiment OF army mules and
then more than supply BARNEY CAUL-
FIELD, of Bridgeport. Its possessor is
AUGUsT5 II. IroEyRY. who lives in the
Thirty District of New York.
1t the last election Of Congressman,
the vote OF this district stood Nor
TON. lotto; CARY, 9,139; Lowry, 5.
This shows 10, 909 votes against LOWRY to
for him; but he .nodestiy claims the seat
on the grounds that he was the only person
voted for as Representative in the Forty
fourth Congress, and that therefore
only his Ave ballots should be counted.
It is pity that BARNU>I has gone out
of the show business. He would GER
tainly have secured Mr.. LOWRY as an
unique curiosity.

THE kilograms OF Saturday night
announced the escape Of the notorious
Boss Tweed from what was by courtesy
called custody. For several months
past an effort has been making to secure
his release through one subterfnge OF
another, and during that time he has
been noninally confined in ludlow
Street Jail-we say nomiaally. for it is
new reported that lie has been allowed
TO dine out with his friends, the War
den accompanying him, and that this
fnnctionary has been in the habit of
taking him out to ride There IS prob
ably more or less truth III the report,
since Tweed was Oh visit to his wife
al the time Of his escape. The War
den accompanied him to the house, and
then permitted him to enter a room
alone with MS wife, and that was the
last seen Of him. When his escape was
discovered the alarm was given and a
reward cf $40, eco was offered for his
arrest, but UP to this time nothing has
iNa-aI.,f of him

TT is now eighteen years since I Demo
cratic House Of Representatives assem-
hlad at the Ma nal Capitol. In 1857
The Democrats chose their last speaker
previous to the one elected Mondayin the
person OF Hen. y. C. Kerr, OF Indiana.
Two years later, the Republicans elect
Cd the speaker, though the result was
not achieved without some difficulty.
The situation then was just the reverse
of what it is to-day; that is, the House
was Republican and the Senate and
President Democratic. To-day the
House IS Democratic and the Senate and
President Republican.

We have % iron-clad vessels in the
navy II CT which arc monitors, 2 tor
pedo ships, ana 8 iron-ciad vessels on
the stocks. OF the q monitors 16 are
already in perfoos cr,ier and prepared
for belligArent service. This is also
the case with the t.ro powerful torpedo
boats-iron CLAD, Of course. There can
be 10 question that the navy to-day is
IN q more efficient condition to strike a
telling blow than il hes been in ten
years. So whether our supposed trouble
be with Spain or Mexico it seems to be
quite certain that if Congress and the
President determine upon the necessity
OF immediate and hostile action, the
navy is ready to enter either Havana or
Vera Cruz.
