THE COMPROMISE COMMITTEES.

brief Analysis OF Their Membership
The Conservative and Radical Elements
said to be Evenly Balanced.
Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
Neither party has acknowledged that
1T desires a compromise of the issues
growing out of the Presidential compli.
cations. Yet both houses of Congress
have, without any considerable opposi-
ton, appointed committees which, by
general consent. are called the compro-
mise committees. The committees are
independent committees Of the House
AMI Senate: but, in their moral and
practical effect, will be q Joint commit
tee. Each committee is directed TO CO.
operate with the corresponding commit
lee of the other house. It is possible
from the composition of the committees
to determine something of the spirit of
the two houses upon this grave question,
and to measureably foreshadow the ac-
ton which such committee is likely to
take. The committee on the part of the
Senate is: Edmunds, of Vermont; Nor
ton, of Indiana; Frelinghuysen, OF New
Jersey; Logan, of Illinois; Thurman. of
Ohio; Bayard, of Delaware, and Ran
som. of North Carolina. On tine part of
the House it is: Payne, of Ohio: Hum
ton, OF Virginia; Hewitt, of New York:
Springer, of Illinois; McCrary, of Iowa:
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, and Willard, of
Michigan.
The Republican and Democratic mem
bers OF both committees are presumed
TO represent the different elements with
In the ranks of both parties. It is much
easier to make a classification OF the
Senate than OF the House committee.
The Senate committee, by the public
and private utterances of its members,
can be classified, as to the Presidential
question, in something of the following
manner:
Conservative Republicans-Ed munds
and Frelinghuysen.
Radical Republicans-Morton and
Logan.
Conservative Democrats-Bayard and
Ransom.
Radical Democrat-Thurman.
The House committee, tried by the
same test, would stand:
Conservative Democrats-Payne, and
possibly Hunton.
Conservative Republican-Wi.la lard.
Radical Democrats - Hewitt aud
Springer.
Radical Republicans-Hoa and Nc
Crary.
Taking both committees together, the
two elements are very nearly balanced,
With possibility that the supporters of
the more radical view may have ma
jority OF one on joint ballot. These
gentlemen now consider themselves as
Judges of a momentOus ouestiOn and
will not be disposed to make public
their opinions unit, they give them de-
liberate expression in their reports.

Chinese In California.

According to the testimony of mis-
sionary among the Chinese in California,
there are in the State about &C, 900 ma
hves of China. Those in San Francisco
pay about $1,000, 900 in rents. Seven
hundred and fifty in that city attend the
evening mission school. About $500
are on the rolls of the evening schools
throughout the State. About 1000 go
every Sunday to the Sunday schools.
OF the inmates of the prison at San
Quentin, numbering 1,158 in all, 1919 are
from China, 100 from Ireland, Gil are
native Americans, add 1S4 from other
foreign countries. The official reportof
the almshouse Of San Francisco, for the
year ending July l, 1875, shows no Chi
nese inmates. Three hundred Chinese
have been received as members of the
Protestant churches of the State. Ac-
cording to the same witness, whose tes-
timony was given to the committee Of
Congress, there are in addition to these
church members 700 Cinnamon in
Christian associations or societies for
learning Christian doctrine.

A SchOOI.bOY ON Corns

Corns are of two kinds-vegetable and
animal. Vegetable corn grows In rows;
animal corn grows on toes. There are
several kinds of ccrrs. there IS the uni-
corn, Capricorn, corr dodgers, field corn
and the corn, which is the corn you feel
most. 1t is said, believe, that gophers
like corns; but persons having corns do
not like to "go fur" if they can help it.
Corns have kernels and some Colonels
have corns. Vegetable corn grows ON
ears, but animal corn grows on the feet
at the ether end of the body. Another
kind of corn is the acorn; these kind
grow on oaks, but there is no hoax about
the corn. The acorn ia a corn with an
indefinite article indeed. Try it and
see. Many a man when he has a corn
wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have
corns sometimes send for doctor, and,
if the doctor himself is corned, he prob
ably won't do so well as if he isn't. The
doctor says corns are produced by tight
boots and shoes, which is probably the
reason why, when man is tight, they
say he is corned. III farmer manages
well, he can get good deal of corn on
an acre, but / know of farmer that has
one corn that makes the biggest acher
on his farm. The bigger crop of vege-
table corn man raises the better he
likes it; but the bigger crop of animal
corn he raises the better he does not
like it. Another kind of corn is the
corn dodger. The way it is made is very
simple, and is as follows-that is, if you
want to know: You go along the streets
and meet man you know has corn
and rough character; then you step on
the toe that has corn on it, and see if
you don't have occasion TO dodge. In
that way you will find out what corn
dodger is.--Htyfford Post.

A CORRESPONDENT in Oregon, Mo-,
communicates some observations on
weather phenomena, especially upon
the influence of forests on rainfall:
When the earth has become dry,
parched, and very warm, on occasions
of thunderstorms, / have often" he
writes, noticed for hours, while il was
laundering overhead, the mist, falling
from the storm clouds, to roll back,
after nearly reaching the earth, in the
form OF lighter vapor. 1 think this rain.
or mist. in falling passed down to the
stratum of very hot air on the earth's
surface, and became steam, large vol
umes OF white vapor forming suddenly
and rolling back and up. Now 1 am
confident that, if the earth had been
shaded by trees this rain would have
fallen on the ground"

The Rise Of Silver.

From the Cincinnati Gazetie.l
The causes of the rise in the price of
silver are these:
/. The German Empire refused to sell
silver at the panic price prevailing.
2. The India Council in London some
what curtailed their drawings on India.
3. Some of the East India produce,
particularly saltpetre and cotton, have
advanced in price in London.
4. The purchase of silver bullion in
London for our Issue Of change coins.
8. 1t has been discovered that the
production of silver in Nevada was
grossly overrated. 1t was a California
mining stock jobbing performance. An
agent of the London Times, who has
investigated the mines, estimates the
product OF this year at from S25, 000, 600
to $50, 900, 900, and has exploded the
notion that these mines are inexhaustible.
The causes of the decline were the
opposite of these, together with the
idea that Germany was going to throw a
vast amount of silver on the market.
When Bland introduced his bill to re-
vive the silver dollar, it would have
been worth but 70 cents. When his bill
passed the silver would have been worth
90 cents.

The Metric system.

Congressman Kasson, of Iowa, has
taken step which looks to the recogni.
ton of the metric system in the regula-
ton of the weight of matter passing
through the mails. He has introduced
bill which proposes that the Postmas-
ter General shall furnish to the post
offices exchanging mails with foreign
countries, and to all other post Offices az
early as practicable, postal balances de-
nominating in weights of the metric
system, fifteen grammes of which shall
be the substitute for all postal purposes
of the half ounce avoirdupois, and SO on
in progression. Fifteen grammes was
the minimum weight fixed by the Inter
national Postal convention he'd at
Berne some two or three years since.
and has been generally adopted by Eu-
ropean authorities. The bill wi doubt
less receive the sanction of the Post
office Committee, and be reported to the
House at an early day.
