Mr.. Cleveland used his strongest
English to enforce upon congress the
need of three things: CD to suspend
the silver coinage, (2) to tinker the
tariff very carefully, (3) to uphold
and advance the civil service reform
movement. This was the cardinal
democratic doctrine which emanated
from the white house, and to the av-
erage American citizen at this dis
lance, it looked like very sensible
programme.
But we are panied to notice that
our democratic friends in both hous-
es are giving good grounds for the
impression that large majority OF
them are decidedly averse to sus-
pending the coinage of cheap dollars !;
while their leader, Mr.. William K.
Morrison, announces that he will
soon be ready to press a tariff bill
with very sweeping provisions. In
cidentally about all the democrats
in both houses are taking whack at
civil service reform, generally in the
DRY and always IN practice. Indeed
on the three positions laid down by
Mr.. Cleveland, his party friends an
nounce their intention of taking issue
with him at once.
This renders it very embarrassing
to the ordinary man to determine
whether the man IN the white house
represents the democratic idea, o.
whether the men at the capitol repre-
, sent it. They certainly do not agree
and, if the news from Washington i
!; correct, they are not getting an.
| nearer to agreement. The misfor
tune seems to be that as between th
two congressman have the more gen
f eral support, and Mr.. Cleveland

Heaven has been nearer earth than
usual during the past week, 1t is a
sublime and very significant specta-
Gle which the church throughout
Christendon has presented during the
few days just gone, engaged as hun
dreds Of thousands of believers have
been in united prayers for the bless
ing of God upon all forms of Chris
tian endeavor, especially upon the
preaching of the Word. We should
infer from reports in the public
press. and from intimations coming
to us through nearly all the religious
papers, that the week of prayer has
been more generally regarded than
ever before. We have heard of q
number of instances of marked spir-
itual results. A number of churches
in this vicinity are enjoying seasons
of remarkable refreshing. 1t is no
probable that these extra services
will stop with the close of the week
In many instances the good worE
seems just beginning, and give!
promise Of protractnd and bIesseI
revival. The intimations never wer
more favorable for general upwar'
movement in the churches. If Their
should come such a season of refor

and have encouraging reason to ex
pect, 1t will solve in the most effect

LOTTERY ADVERTISEMENTS

Senator Wilson of Iowa reported
favorably on Wednesday last on post
offices and post roads the bill intro
duced to prohibit the mailing of
newspapers and other publications
containing lottery advertisements.
The report accompanying the bill
SAYS that the several states have act
ed resolutely and with marked una
nimity in their endeavors to suppress
the malign presence of the lottery.
Louisiana stands almost alone in
liberation of the evil, and she has
pronounced against ii after 1885.
Vermont and Delaware qualify their
prohibition by allowing such lotteries
as may be authorized by their own
laws while denouncing those recog-
nized by the laws of other states !;
and it seems to the committee that
this almost unanimous movement Of
the states to defend themselves
against the demoralizing effects of
lotteries ought to be recognized and
prompted by the nation. CAT all
events" the report says, ''the postal
system ought not to be degraded to
the condition of an instrument for
the promotion of crime" The re-
port says it is the purpose of the bill
to aid the states in their efforts to
suppress the crime, which they have
denounced with almost entire una
nimity. 1t is intended to close the
United States mails against the trans
mission of lottery advertisements OF
eyery kind and character. "With'
out some law," the report continues
"the insidious temptations contained
in the cunningly devised lottery ad
vertisements will continue to invade
state, family, shop, office, or othe
place of business or of pleasure, o
public and private resorts, in spit
of the efforts which the states hav,
made to prevent it," The committe
says the bill is undoubtedly constitu
tional and quotes decision of tn
supreme court upholding the right O
: Congress to pass such laws.

The storm of Friday and Saturday,
Jan. 8 and 8, was one of the most wide
spread ever recorded by the weather
bureaus and occupied the whole coun-
try east Of the Rockies and South of
the arctic region. 1t developed its
greatest force in the west, and adj
vanced east rapidly, and was accom-
panied and followed by intense cold.
Railroad communication west of Chi
cago was at stand still, in some
cases several days, and telegraph
lines were down. In the south the
temperature reached lower point on
Saturday than was ever before re-
corded, zero being reported at Allan
ia and other points, and ten degrees

states and territories were visited
with billiards, dust storms aud snow
storms. In some places As degrees
below zero was recorded. The Wis
itation was severe, also, in New Eng
land, all sections reporting it alike.

no HOPE FOR SUSPENSION.

The editor of the New York World,
who is a member of the house of rep
resentatiyes holds out no hope for
any change in silver legislation by
this congress. Mr.. Pulitzer is very
bright man, and his opinion may be
regarded rs conclusive.
The Senate may vote to suspend,
but is against it. The New England.
New York and New Jersey members
will vote for suspension, but else
where, even in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, the silver men are in MAORI
ty.
The South and West are strongly
for silver, The representatives from
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota

spread throughout the West ant
South, says Mr.. Pulitzer, that th'
anti-siver movement is engineered
by the Wall street fiualciers; tina
it is ID the interests of the capitalist

The upshot of the sitnatlon is, tina
one-tlild of the Republicans and two

CONGRESSMAN CIRCUIT.

Gen. w. w. Circuit. member of the
House from this district, last week
introduced several important bills,
among them bill taxing the manu-
facture and sale of oleomargarne
a bill regulating the sale of limitations
of butter and cheese bill removing
limitations as to arrears of pension,
and a bill providing more liberal pen
sions from disabled soldiers who are
dependent for support upon their own
labor. Gen. Grout, it is also report
ed, will introduce a measure which
will be an important step in the d.
rection Of civil service reform. 1t
will provide that no person shall be
appointed as postmaster of the
fourth class except upon the indorse-
ment of majority of the voters of
the vicinity for which the post-office
is provided. Mr.. Circuit claims that
this plan would prevent office brok-
erage, would nullify the influence of
the fourth class postofices in presi-
dental and congressional elections,
and would secure the appointment Of
persons satisfactory to the patrons
| of the post-offices. The fourth class
post-offices are in his opinion not
only the federal appointments which
come nearest to the people, but are
the most demoralizing element in pol
itics. He proposes that popular mass
meetings be held at fourth class post
offices upon the expiration of the
term of a postmaster, OF the creation
of a vacancy, and that nomination
be made and approved by majority
of the office. Mr.. Grout is in doubt
whether his proposition will necessi-
tate a constitutional amendment OF
can be accomplished by bill He
does not regard it as taking the ap.
pointing power from the postmaster
general, inasmuch as that official will
have discretion to reject the nomina
tons made by majority of the pat
rons of a postoffice, and to insist upol
new names if he sees fit.-TImaes.

THE SUCCESS OF SENATOR
SHERMAN.

The vote of the two branches Of
the Ohio Legislature separately We'd
nesday, by which 1t appeared that
Hon. John Sherman would have a ma
jority of twenty-three votes when
that body votes in convention. is an
occasion for congratulation among all
Republicans, and not only so, but it
would give pleasure to men in any
party who do not wish to see politi-
cal trickery prosper. The extraordi-
nary frauds which were perpetrated
in Cincinnati had for their prime OBJ
ject the securing possession of both
branches of the Legislature in the in
terest of the Democratic conspirators
concerned, with view Of defeating
Senator Sherman and electing Dem
ocrat in his place. The frauds were
transparent and fragrant, yet those
who perpetrated them seemed to have
control over all the forces, from the
police of Cincinnati to the Supreme
Court itself, which were requisite for
success. The seating of the fraudu-
lent Senators and Representatives
from Hamilton county made the Re
publican margin in the joint convenr
ton of the two bodies so perilously
small that if Senator Sherman's
strength had not been such as to COM
pei the united support Of the Repub-
lican members he might have been
defeated.
Senator Sherman's long, brilliant
and able public service makes hin
one of the most conspicuous states.
