SENATOR INGALLS,, of Kansas, has
introduced joint resolution fixing the first
of November as the beginning Of theTree.
ular session Of the 45th congress, instead
of the 6rst Monday in December as pro-
vided by the Constitution.
This is an effort to settle the.question of
adjournment, andTa move insthe direction
of shortening the regular session. Il is
not probable, however, that such'a resolu-
tior will pass, for if 1t is the desire of con-
gressmen and senators to make the two
sessions continuous, there is ample bust
ness before congress, both dbuncombe and
real, to take up every day that the two
houses choose to sit. The theory that now
prevails, however, is to finish the. de6ciency
bills by the 18th Of November, and then
take recess or adjourn over until the first
Monday in December.

Reduce the Army.

The first gun against the army increase
will be fred by Mr.. Townsend, of this
state, who has a.resolution ready to intro
duce in the house at thei first favorable
opportunity. Il is as follows:
WHEREAS, The maintenance of large
standing army is inconsistent with the
spirit of the constitution of the United
States or the genius Of our free people;
and
WHEREAS, In the judgement OF this
house the present condition of the financial
affairs of the government demands the
enforcement OF strict economy; therefore
be it
Resolved, That the committee on mill.
tary affairs be directed, as soon after the
appointment of the same as may be prac-
ticab!e. to report a bill providing for the
reduction of the regular army as far below
the present force as may be consistent with
the peace and welfare of the country.

THE question whether the appellate
court bill passed by the thirtieth general
assembly is constitutional will be finally
settled by the supreme court at the Jan
uary term. The attorney general has
received from Judge Geo. Wall, the lately
elected judge of the Third circuit, inior-
nation that he will make an agreed case,
TO be submitted to the supreme court
1t is agreed that all ,ormalities shall be
waived, and that the attorney general shall
file an information 10 the nature of quo
warruuto against Judge Wall, and that
judgment shall be rendered in favor of the
respondent. The case will probably be
nrst called 10 the Madison circuit court.
The Judgment will be pro iurma. and the
case will be 50 arranged as tn present ali
the questions involved. There is great
diversity of opinion among the lawyers of
the state as to the legality OF the appellate
court system, and it is considered neces-
sary to have this matter adjudicated before
legal business becomes entangled in the
new tribunal.

In dealing with Mr.. Hayes nvmina-
tons, the purpose Of the republican
senators seems to be strengthening to
require that all the papers and recommen-
dations, in cases where republican Office
holders have been removed before the
close OF their term andireplacediby others,
In some cases at the south by democrats,
shall be laid before the senate. If the
views of some senators are acted upon, it
will be long before any Of the nominations,
Ringing in any way upon Louisiana, are
disposed Of. They argue that a uomina-
ton like Gen. Harlan's should not be acted
upon until the work which Harlan did on
the Louisiana commission last spring is
passed upon by the senate, If his work is
found good, and Spoford is seated, well;
but if otherwise, and Kellogg is seated. a
different course must be pursued by the
senate. Yesterday batch of about one
hundred nominations we're confirmed, but
none Of any special Importance.

used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their

person can use it without immediate relief
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 10000
dozen bottles were sold last year, and nc
one case where it tailed was reported
Such a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP

The territory known as the State of
Wisconsin was claimed by France on
the ground OF discovery by its missio-
naries and teachers in 1860, who govern
cd it until they ced9dis to Great Britain.
It was h I'D by the British nation until
1882, when she ceded all her possessions
nortewes5 OF the Ohio to the United
States. Wisconsin was then thrown
under the Territorial government of
Ohio by the ordinance of 1TS7. On the
4th of July, 1900, the Indian Territory
was organized and it was attached to
that Territory unit April Is, 1918, when
Illinoisbeclme Il State. 1t was then at
tached to the Territory of Wisconsin,
July 1, 1886, SO that Wisconsin was gov
erned by the Kingof France uinety-three
years; the King of Great britain twenty
years; by the State OF Virginia one year;
by the Terri .ory of Ohio sixteen years;
by the Indian Territory nine years: by
Illinois Territory nine years, aud by
Michigan Territory eighteen years. She
continued a Territo-y of the United
States nearly twelve years, when on the
18th of March, 1913, she became the
thirt.eth State OF the American Union.

THE CONTRACTION OF ONE AND
TWO DOLLAR NOTES.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The whole
truth about the contraction of small
notes, as learned from Secretary Sher-
man and Treasurer Gillfillan, is that
there has been some contraction OF the
81 and 81 greenback circulation, for the
purpose, primarily, of getting the silver
coin out faster than could be done by
the slow process of redeeming the
fractional currency, and, secondarily, as
an experiment in the direction of paw
ing the way to resumption. No order
was issued for the withdrawal OF the
small notes, but the treasurer at Wash
ington ceased to pay them out some
weeks ago. The treasurer thinks that
the assistant treasurers in either cities
are still paying them, but it is reported
from unofficial sources shat on the strength
of private letters these officials have
made their policy comply with that Of
the Treasury. Some time in April the
national banks were informed that III
stead of 81 and 81 greenbacks for re
demptlon purposes, the Treasury would
supply them with silver coin, and pay ex-
pense of transportation. This expense was
frayed out OF what is known as the silver
profit fund, derived from the profits on
coinage. In this way large amount of
and the ordinary supply Of small bills
was cut short. Probably of the $l0,00C,-
600 of 81 and 81 notes now in the treas
ury, about 7, 1000, 900 may be considered
to have been withdrawn from circula-
ton, leaving $1,000, 900 as the ordinary
amount kept on hand. How much more
has been Withdrawn by the assistant
treasurers in the principal cities cannot
now be ascertained, but, of course, what
ever it may be, the amount must be de-
Quoted from the $53, 600, 900 reported as
in circulation. The secretary thinks
that whatever scarcity of these notes
may exist has been occasioned chiefly
by brokers robbing them, with the be-
lief that there would be large withdraw
ais, and that they could sell all that
they could get for premium. Score
tary Sherman further says that while
he thinks that it would be an aid to re-
sumption if the small notes were all out
of the way, it is not the policy OF the de-
partment to retire them suddenly, and
any further retirement decided upon,
Will be exceedingly gradual.

4 LADY reporter of New York city
recently visited number Of divorce
lawyers, for the purpose Of finding out
their method of proeeedingin their bust
ness. She represented herself as desir-
ing q divorce from her husband, who
she said, was q good, indulgent man-in
fact all that could be desired; but she
said that she had tired of him, and she
wanted to know how she could get q di-
yorce. They all told her, in substance,
that she should desert her husband, go
over to New Jersey to live, and set de-
tectiYes to watching her husband, and a
case could soon be made against him.
Such scoundrels are rs much more in
imicai to society than thieves and rob
bers as domestic happiness is more Valu-
able than money Or jewels.

The Prairie du Chen Courier says
the latest fraud on the farming commu-
nifty is the spring bed swindle, the
n0du8 Oocraadi Of which is as follows:
The first of the gang engages storage
room In the farmers barn for spring
beds, representing himself as agent
for the manufacturers. He gets the vic
tim to write down his name and address,
and departs. Shortly afterwards another
stranger informs the farmer that the
spring beds that he ordered are at the
depot, and presents his bill for large
invoice. The farmer disclaims the tran
saction, upon which the collector shows
him his signature TO large order for
beds. II lie still refuses 10 settle,
two more strangers visit him,
representing themselves to be the law
yers OF the company. They threaten
legal proceedings, but are willing to COM
promise for a portion of the claim.

PEACE rumors are revived again in
cor nection with the Russo-Turkish war,
but they probably have as little founda-
ton as those that have preceded them,
although they are said to be based upon
the proposition Of aIurkish cabinet min
lister that efforts for the opening of ne
gotiations for peace should lie made,
since Turkey can hope for no foreign
aid. This proposition was rejected, and
it is thus shown that Turkey is not yet
convinced that war is hopeless Of favor
able results for her. The time is com
ing, however, when that conviction will
force itself upon her, but it may not be
for months yet-at any rate not until
she has suffered great and disastrous
defeat
