THE PRESENT CONGRESS.

During the next three months the Repub
licans will have control of both Houses, and
will consequently be responsible for what
ever is done or left undone, and their leaders
are keenly alive to the fact that upon the
character of the work performed within that
period will depend the question, whether
their party will be able to stand even the
shadow of chance of success in 1884
In the present temper of the popular
mind, to which Congress is as general
thing cnly too ready to respond, the real
danger is lest the permanent interests of
the country be imperiled by crude, hasty and
panic-stricken legislation, rushed through
without adequate discussion and without
any mature adaptation of it to systematic
plan of reform. The more rampant protec-
tionists, for example, are already prepared
to begin chopping with broad-axe at our
industrial system. They are loaded to the
muzzle with scheme for looping off in
stanter the entire Internal Revenue System,
leaving the whole income of the govern
ment to be derived from duties on imports,
which consequently would have to remain
at high figure.
The Democrats can probably be relied
upon to prick this particular bubble as soon
as it is blown into the air, and the country
will look TO them TO put the breaks upon
any other proposed legislation of SINH
larly crude and sweeping character AT
the same time, it must not be forgotten that
the Democratic minority is in position of
quite as much danger and difficulty as that
of the Republican majority. They cannot
afford to block or defeat any legislation
which tends to enable the Republicans to
rectify the mistakes they made at the last
session. Such a course would be as i'm
polite from party point of view as it
would be unpatriotc from a national stand
point There can be but one construction
placed upon the result of the recent cleo
tons, and that is the people are determined
TO give the Democrats trial-they are now
upon probation, and if in the next three
months they are unwise enough TO commit
themselves to the miserable devices of party
warfare, they will find themselves in a mi
nority with the people before the next Con.
gress meets.
The people are demanding that the inter
nal revenue taxes be reduced, the tariff re
vised and simplified, economy of expendi
lures in the Federal government and politi
cal assessments prohibited and made penal
If the Democrats are wise they will render
all the aid they can in bringing about these
good results at the earliest practicable mo
inent The people are no fools, and theii
attitude toward politicians is becoming al
most too cynical. They will know pre-
cisely to what to attribute the late zeal o.
the Republicans for reform, and they will
decide with equal promptness that if thu
Democrats obstruct reforms in which they
cannot claim all of the credit, they are hardly
10 be trusted with a larger share OF power.
One thing may be regarded as certain, ant
that is that the present session will have {
momentous bearing upon the future of par
ties in this country for some years to come

TURNER'S AN7ITARIFF SPEECH


A British philosopher and wit was first,
and then an American member OF Congress
was second, and Mr.. Turner, of Kentucky,
of the present House of Representatives,
was third, TO utter the following striking
truths in the shape here presented;
"Under this tariff the farmer rises in the
morning, puts on his common flannel shirt
taxed "a per cent, his coat taxed 81 per
cent, shoes taxed 30 per cent, hat taxed 95
per cent, takes the water from bucket
taxed 95 per cent, and washes his face in a
tin bowl taxed SO per cent, dries them on a
cheap cotton towel taxed 45 per cent. He
sits down TO his humble meal and eats from
a plate taxed 30 per cent, with knife and
fork taxed 30 per cent, drinks his coffee
with sugar taxed GO per cent seasons his
food with salt taxed 90 per cent, pepper
taxed 81 per cent He looks around on his
wife and children, all taxed in the same
way, takes a chew of tobacco taxed 1919 per
cent, or lights his cigar taxed 118 per cent.
and, sir, even the sunlight from heaven, that
pours into his humble dwelling, must come
through the window-glass taxed SO per cent,
and yet he thinks he lives in the ireest gov
eminent under the heavens. Then he starts
TO work, puts the bride taxed IS per cent
on his horse, and takes his horse that
has been shod, the nail used in shoeing
taxed 50 per cent, driven by a hammer
taxed 20 per cent, and bitches him to a
pillow taxed 45 per cent, with chains taxed
81 per cent; and after the days labor is
closed and his family all gathered around
he reads chapter from his Bible, taxed %
per cent, and kneels to God on an humble
carpet taxed 81 per cent, and then he rests
his wearied limbs on sheet taxed as pei
cent, and covers himself up with blanket
which has paid 104 per cent Nor do these
grasping manufacturers stop here, but even
the broom which his good wife sweeps the
floor with is taxed 35 per cent, and the
cooking utensils used in preparing her hus
bands frugal meal are taxed 42 per cent.
and the soda used to tighten his bread taxed
SO per cent. She sits down TO her sewing
with her needle taxed 20 per cent, and !
spool of thread taxed "a per cent, to max,
calico dress taxed SO per cent. or if sh,
wishes TO knit warm socks TO protect. he
husband and children from the bitter cold
she uses yarn taxed 1870 per cent, and thu
daily and hourly must the hard earnings o
the laborer go TO satisfy the manufacture
and add to his ill-gotten wealth."

ANTHONY TROLLOPE.

The death of this distinguished writer re-
moves from the literary world the last of
the great English novelists whose writings
entertained us 80 much in youth. Thacker-
ay, Dickens, George Eliot and Anthony
Trollope are now all dead, and the lumina-
ries that are to take and fill their places
have not yet risen above the literary hori-
Zon.
In force and originality of genius Troll
lope was inferior to any of the Others named,
but in one essential quality of the novelist
he surpassed them all-he "held the mirror
up to Nature" with a fidelity that has never
been surpassed. AS a picture of the society,
modes of living, customs, and the men and
women of his day in England, his novels
are regarded as absolutely correct and real
istic as photograph. A story of the age
of Pericles, in Greece, which should depict
that period and people as accurately as the
England of our day is portrayed in one of
Trollope's stories would have conveyed to
us clearer idea of what ancient Greece
actually was than can now be obtained from
all the arid chronicles of the historians.
The criticism usually made upon his nov
els, that they are commonplace, is in a meas
ure just, but they are commonplace because
the life they depict and the people they por-
tray are commonplace, and to urge this OBJ
lection too strongly is to forget that fidelity
to Nature is one of the prime qualities of n
successful novelist. Dickens greatest fault
is that in the riot of his imagination and the
opulence his humoristic fancies he blurred
the face of Nature beyond recognition, and
the result is that his work has taken no deep
or permanent hold upon those who go to
literature to find men and women, to study
those secrets of the human heart which it is
the province of novelists and poets to re-
veal
Some of Trollope's earliest novels are
keenly interesting, and exhibit genuine
dramatic quality that has not been surpassed
in our day by any novelist save Charles
Reade. "The Small House at Abingdon
"The Last Chronicle of Barset," and Fam
lily Parsonage" are masterpieces of that
kind of fiction which contents itself with
portraying individual men and women, and
does not attempt to create types of charac'
ter.

DEATHS


DIED, at Seneca Mills, Montgomery coun-
ty, Nd, Nov 23d, 1882, Mrs. MARTHA ANN
BIGes, in the 9th year of her age.
Mrs. Biggs was for twenty-six years a con-
sistent member of the Presbyterian Church,
at Jamestown, Md. She was one of the
oldest members of the Jamestown Church,
being the 9Th from its organization. She
was converted under the ministry of Rev.
Daniel Motzer, for whom she retained the
very highest regard to the day of her death.
Mrs. Biggs loved her family and loved her
church. She priced the ordinances Of the
gospel, and whenever in her power, was
regular in her attendance upon the stated
means of grace. She died in peace and in
blessed assurance of a better life beyond
the grave. She leaves one son to mourn her
loss, to whom, with his beloved and stricken
family, we tender our heartfelt sympathy.
"Thou art gone to the grave but 'twere
wrong to deplore thee,
When God was thy ransom, thy guardian
and guide;
He gave thee and took thee, and soon will
restore thee
Where death hath no sting since the Saviour
has died."
