THE assembling of Congress IS always an important event in this country, but this year it will be looked forward to with much greater interest than for several years past. The attention of both parties will be directed toward the Senate, whose duty 1t is to inquire concerning the fitness of appoint ments made by the President. As the Administration is Demo cratic and the Senate Republican, the President and a great many ot his appointees are, just now. occu- pying positions on the "anxious bench.n-Tucson Times.
 We presume the anxious bench" applies only to those whose predecessors were removed on some such fimsy pretext as offensive partisanshlp," and moi to those legitimately appointed tc fill any original vacancies or va cancies caused by death, resigna ton or expiration of term of for mer incumbent.

IT appears that a new wrinkle in the insurance llne has justheen developed in Pennsylvania. These are birth-insurance companies, and agents are now travelling soliciting pollcyholders. The companies are known by such names as "fhe Poor Mans Birth Insurance Com pany," "Family Birth and Rene 6cial Society,"" and other names. The agents represent that tue policyholders are divided by the company into classes of 5oo mem bers each. Whenever a birth occurs in the family of a member the other members in the class are assessed 9 cents each. This would glve fund of Sl25, S10o of which goes to the beneficiary and S25 to the company for collecting, etc. Notwithstanding the apparent fraud it is sad that agents secure policyholders by the hundreds. What next?
