new members among the Democrats, It
is believed, viii naturally be inclined to
follow the recommendations of the
President and keep in with the admins
tratiOn. There are as many different.
The ante-roOm of the White House
has been given a very Democratic look
by the display there of a new full-length
portrait of Thomas jefferson. This is
a picture by Mr.. l.. L. Andrews, the ar
tist who painted the picture of Martha
Washington now hanging in the East
room of this same building. Mr.. An
drews is now in Ohio. engaged i'm paint
ing the portrait of Gov. HOadly. The
portrait of Jefferson, as he is represent
ed in this picture, is very striking one.
The father of the Democratic party is
dressed in costume which must fairly
paralyze the straightout Bourbons from
the far West.
As an aid to his project of bringing
into close relationship the Agricultural
Department and the various agricutur-
al schools and colleges and State expert
ment stations, Commissioner Colman
has commissioned Henry L. Alvord,
well-known agricultunst of Mountain
Vile, n. Y, to make list of all the ag-
country east of the Mississippi riyer,an
TO investigate and report upon each
station. 1t is expected that the knowl-
edge thus obtained of the work done at
each experiment station will be of great
help in formulating plan by which the
whole may be united into a system by
which each may work in concert with
the others, and the results of their eX-
periments be so unified as to be of much
more value than at present. There is
now no concerted action between these
state institutions, and half dozen may
be engaged in the same line of investi-
CATION at the same time. Commissioner
Colman thinks that scheme might be
devised by which such Implications
would be avoided and better results
reached in shorter time, if each sta
ton worked in harmony with the others
and all were closely connected with the
Department of Agriculture.

District of Columbia and tho Territories
only I'm the same cases as they are al
lowed from State Courts, and guarding
against an unnecessary number
of appeals from the Circuit Courts"
The President approves that plan.
AS 4 remedy for certain evils in our
Indian affairs the President makes this
recommendation, which we do best to
quote in his own language full and
verbatim: 81 recommend the passage
of law authorizing the appointment
of six commissioners, three OF whom
shall be detailed from the army, to
be charged with the duty of careful
inspection, from time to time, Of all the
Indians upon our reservations or sub
iect TO the care and control of the Gov
ernment, with a view of discovering
their exact condition and needs and
determining what steps shall be taken
on behalf of the Government tcimprovc
their situation in the direction of their
scll-support and complete civilization;
that they ascertain from such inspection
what, If any, of the reservations may be
reduced in area, and in such eases what
part not needed for Indian occupation
may be purchased by the Government
from the Indians and disposed of for
their benefit; what, if any, Indians may,
with their consent, be removed to other
reservations, with view of their con
centratiOn and the sale on their behalf
Of their abandoned reservations: what
Indian lands now held i'm common
should be allotted in severalty; in what
manner and to what extent the Indians
upon the reservations can be placed
under the protection Of our laws and
subjected to their penalties, and which.
ii any, Indians should be invested with
the right of citizenship"
This contemplates but a preliminary
step; but probably it is an essential step
before any material advance in the right
direction can be made.
The public lands should be held faith
fully according to the constitutional
prescription for "the common benefit"
and no longer squaEdered or permitted
to be plundered. and there should be no
relaxation or let up in the prosecution
and enforcement of the present laws
against polygamy.
We have now taken n reviewing glance,
we believe, at every material recon-
mcndation in the message except that
relating to the reform of the civil SER
vice. The Presidents position upon
this interesting as well as important
subject can be best understood by con-
sulting that part of the document. We
must, say, however, that he stands
firmly by his past declaration of princi-
pie in the matter; while he says that
civil service rules will not prevent the
discharge of the indolent or incom-
petent clerk, they will prevent the filing
of his place BY the unfit party worker;
and he ventures the hope that we shall
never again be remitted to the system
which distributes public positions purely
as the rewards of party service.

STIOISiS Of The HG2SarG.

Mr. Cleycland's first message TO Con-
grcss possesses the unusual interest OF
being the first one from a President
aifiliating with the Democratic school
in Federal politics since 1861. 1t is a
clear, frank, vigorous document in its
style, and busiRess-like in its methods
except for its inordinate length. If il
were ss9t for this one fault it could be
praised without qualification. " hat
adds largely to its dimensions is the
great spread devoted TO what arc called
our foreign relations Of which we
hive very few to speak # at this time
tlat have any broad OF general interest.
They continue To be friendly with all
foreign powers and that about sums up
the situation, except that there are a
few little tangles. We have no Minis

conduct of the Austro-TWgarian Gov

ley, for the reason that he. being a
Catholic, had married Jeygss. our

A LAWYER Suspended for six Months.

A decision in the Q. a. Gates disbar-
ment case was rendered Monday morn
ing by Judge Woodward at Whkesbarre.
Gates is well-known lawyer and two
weeks ago was put on trial, ON complaint
OF the Bar Association, charged with
two grave offenses. The first was the
mutilation and abstraction of a record
i'm the Office of the ProthonotaIy, by
detaching from an execution and with
drawing from the files certain receipt
satisfying a judgment in favor of his
client. The second charge was that of
embracery, by unlawfully attempting to
bias the mind OF a juror. Judge Wood
ward, after citing numerous authorities,
rules that Gates IS guilty Of the first
charge, bat not guilty as TO the second,
and suspends the offending lawyer from
practice at the bar for siz months.

WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT dropped
dead at his residence in New York
Tuesday afternoon. He was in the Goth
year Of his age His death was entirely
Unexpected, and none Of his family were
with him at the time. He was convers-
ing with Mr.. Robert Garret, of Balti-
more, when suddenly his speech became
indiSJnct AMI he fell forward on his
face upon the floor killed by the rupture
of blood Fessei at the base of the
brain. 1t is the general opinion that
Mr. Nanderblt's death will not in any
way affect the management of the great
corporations with which he was con
nectcd, and that it will have but little
effect upon the stock market. Mr..
Nanderbilt's wealth was estimated as
high as $500, ,0OO, 900, and his income at
SlO,OOO,OGJ y year. He had nine
children, eight Of whom and their

nineteen grandchildren.

W ASlllNGTON, ID. e., Dec. ., 50.
Both branches of Congress promise to
open next Monday and for the first time
for months the hotel corridors were
crowded last night with members of
Congress and strangers, and little OF
the usual excitement preceding the OPEN
ing Of Congress was apparent. There
is manifested the greatest uncertainty
among members as TO their attitude
with regard to the important matters
that will come up to be settled during
the session. Al the doubt hangs around
the House. The Senate, II is thought,
can be depended on to take conservative
action upon most Of the important mat
ters. Members generally appear TO be
at sea and are reluctant to commit
themselves upon any proposition. There
are hundred and thirty new members
elected to the House, many Of whom are
without experience. They are Just
starting out on very uncertain ground
and don't know just what attitude to
assume. The chief reconsideration before
many of them is how they can conduct
themselves during their first term so as
10 assure them OF second, and there is
consequently much uncertainty and
hesitation iH their course. They will
be called upon the first thing "a discuss
and amend rules they have never seen
in operation, and TO act upon matters
they have no experience with. They
refrain from expressing their opinion
upon any of the leading subjects. but
Withhold their decision until they can
find something to guide them as TO their
course OF action. The two things that
they seem TO have some definite idea
about are that the rules should be
changed In some way, and that there
should bc cautious and conservative
revision OF The tariff. There Is "a geuer-
al hesitaucy among the members about
touching the financial question. The

Hay Stacks.

Pushing or throwing hay into a
bunch OF heap, is not making a
cock. 4 cock of hay is a miniture
stack. We want to make it so it
will shed water. In making stack
the first and most important rule is
to Hkeep your middle full" And so
it is in making a cock. The middle
or center Of the cock must always
be the highest-not when you fin
ish merely, but at all times from the
Start to the end. And in fact this
is ali there is to it. Dressing up
the cock by trimming it up at the
bottom, and raking down the sides
is all very well, but unless the cock
is well made from the start, one OF
our heavy showers will go right
through it. In old times. before
moving machines, and steel rakes,
and unloading forks, when the la

ITO always turn your fork" We
were not allowed to take a forkful
OF hay aud set it down on the
cock, but we must Lift it above the
cock and turn it over, SO that the
fork, instead OF being under the
