There seems to be an erroneous impression
that the Forty-sixth Congress will largely be
made up OF new members, and that the
changes will be fully equal to those which oc-
Cured when the Dem ocrats succeeded to the
control OF the lower house IN the Forty-thtrd
Congress-, This, however, is not borne out by
the facts. The Republicans have elected to
the Forty-sixth Congress sixty-nine members
hnlding seats in the Forty fifth, and the DEM
ocrats eighty-four, which will make a total Of
1853 old members in the neW Congress. In al.

fact, the Forty-sixth Congress will by no man

In review of the political situation, printed

there Is to be thorough enforcement of law In
