Charleston News and Courier:
The death of Mr.. Hendricks may
materially affect the political status
of the senate in the not distant flu
ture. If, as has been hoped, the
senatorial elections in the different
states should so reduce the republi-
can vote in that body as to divide
the two parties evenly, the demo
Gratis would not be able to carry
their measures, which, Mr.. Hen
bricks living, his casting vote would
have enabled them to do. 1t will
now be necessary, therefore, to have
clear democratic majority in the
senate in order to place that body
in harmony with the administration.
Mr.. Hendricks death has brought
ahro an fh,r complication, as Sen
ator Edmunds, being the president
pro tenn. of the senate, would in the
event of Mr.. Cleveland's death sue
coed to the presidential Office.

peculiar gift in the village stores or

The local reporters say that his SER

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-It is understood that
the fact has been clearly disclosed that a
number Of armed companies of Socialists
are regularly drilling in this city, and that
they number about seven hundred men.
They are equipped with breach loading
rifles, and drill according to the Prussian
tactics. The entire practice is contrary to
the State law. In view OF this fact, and
owing to recent threats by some Socialist
leaders, volunteer guards have been placed
on one OF the armories of the National
Guard.
In speaking Of the matter editorially,
to-day, the Times says: at Is rather un-
pleasant condition OF things, when 1t is
found necessary to guard the city armor-
les against apprehcnded attacks from men
who are engaged in secretly drilling, and
whose announced purpose Is pillage, ar
son and murder. Ii isstatad that a small
number OF militia volunteers, possibly
squads Of ten, are on watch nightly at the
armory Of the First Regiment, to protecti It
against these anticipated attacks. II this
be the fact, there is scandalous state OF
affairs in existence. It Is not the duty OF
members Of the militia, who get no pay
themselves, to perform the extra work Of
sitting up Of nights TO guard the property
OF the State. II such work is necessary to
be done, the State ought to order it 10 be
done, and pay for 1t. One OF the first
things which should be done is to have
the matter investigated, and II 1t be found
that men are drilling in secret for an lille
gal purpose, they should be put under the
supervision Of the police, just as. II they
were burglars, or assassins planning the
death of a citizen,n

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. After the
usual Monday call Of States and Territories
for the introduction of bills in the House
tomorrow individual motions to suspend
the rules will be in order and a number OF
members will endeayor by this means to
obtain the immediate passage OF specified
measures, or an assignment OF future dates
for their consideration.
Mr.. Collins intends TO ask the House 10
fix day to consider the bankruptcy bill.
MIR. Mattson will ask for the passage OF the
bill reported from the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, providing for an increase
OF pensions OF widows from S. to Sl2 per
month.
A two-thirds vote will be necessary in
each instance to secure favorable action.
Tuesday has been set apart for the consid-
Grafton ot,bills reported from the Commit.

standin" that the appropriation bills shall
have IL -eference. The pension appro.
nriation bill which was reported TO the
House prior to the holiday recess will in
all probabilitybe called up for considera-
ton on that day. The Consular and Di-
plomatic appropriation bill, it is expected,
will be reported from the Appropriations
Committee on the same day and called up
for discussion Wednesday.
The Indian and District OF Columbia
bills probably will be reported to the
House during the week at the first oppor-
tunity and when their discussion will moi
interfere with the Appropriation bills
Mr.. Reagan will ask that the coneidera.

endeavor to secure the consideration Of
the Educational bill. 1t is his purpose To
call up his own bill and move that the
Blair bill which passed the Senate be sub
stituted for 1t.
In the Senate the Interstate Commerce
bill has the first right for consideration,
and its supporters express the opinion
that 1t will not be set aside for anything
but the appropriation bills. It's consider.
alton is likely TO consume the great part
and possibly all OF the week. The bill 10
declare the forfeiture Of the Oregon Cen.

citation That believes in Teaching the
People Confidence in Dynamite Rather
Than Putting Their Trus. In God.

CHicioo, Jan. 1.-THE regular meeting
of the "Working Peoples international
Association" attracted the usual large
crowd TO 81 West Lake street this after
noon. The gathering, which included q
few ladies, completely filed the hall.
Tho Times report says: Dynamite
Duzy brought the chattering crowd to
order by vigorous humping with his
fist on the table. O. S. Griffin, the first
orator, stated this world had. been
created for the people alike, and that the
capitalists must take .the non.capital-
lists into copartnership or else with the
assistance Of dynamite leave the world.
A. r. Parsons read lengthy Whereas"
referring to the lockouts in Pennsylvania
and asserting the bread OF wage-workers
is owned by the privileged class. The
resolutions appended were adopted with
whoop.
Resolred, That the despotic power which
the privileged class possess is destructive
OF life, liberty and happiness and should
be abolished by any and all means.
RetOlred, That the working class must
control their bread and the means by
which to obtain it before they can in any
sense be freemen.
Mr.. Parsons said the chief purpose OF
Socialism was not to deprive the man who
CHANGED to own a corner lot OF his prop
erty but to make it his forever, to put all
men in palaces and TO place on their
tables the bounties OF the earth. When
Socialism prevailed every man would be a
Joint stockholder OF the entire earth and
richer than Vanderbilt. Two millions OF
men were out OF employmentand destitute

millions. Socialism had become neces-
