THE Ross Winans divorce scandal has been

thing like marriage ceremony performed be-
tween the two. A criminal liaison has been
pretty well established, and nothing more.
The pair travelled and lived together by mu.
tual consent in marital relations; but not
bound by any formal VOW. It is one of the
many scandals of the kind that have disgraced
'high' life. The one redeeming feature is
that Mr.. Winans admitted having come to this
country on the steamer as "Mr. Winans and
lady, but, as he protests, not as man and
wife. A man who would register his wife as

EVERYBODY knows that the business of
Congress is transacted mostly through COM
mittees, and whoever controls the committees
controls the House. There are one hundred
and eighty-four Democrats and one hundred
and forty-one Republicans in the House-a
Democratic majority of forty-three. Of these
Democrats one hundred and eight are from
the South, nearly every one rebel army
officer, rarely lower in rank than brigadier.
These one hundred and eight control the leg
islation by controlling the committees. The
Speaker, being Southern man, has seen to
it that the committees are well manned by
rebel brigadiers Look at the following facts:
Of the fifty-two committees, the chairmen of
thirty three are Southern rebels, and in all
the more important committees this same ele-
ment predominates Thus, Of the eight DEM
ocrats on the committee Of ways and means
five are late rebels; on the appropriations, of
the nine Democrats four are late rebels, while
only two represent New York, New England,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and three are
Western men; of the nine Democrats on the
Judiciary six are Southern bloods; the silver
committee has five Southern Democrats out Of
eight Democrats on the committee; river and
harbor, seven Southern Democrats to two
Western Democrats; foreign affairs, six South
ern Democrats to two Northern Democrats
on commerce, four Southern Democrats to
three Western and one Eastern; postofice,
one of the exceptions has only four South
ern Democrats out Of nine; Pacific road, six
Southern Democrats out Of eight, and sub
stantially the same through the entire fifty
two committees The committees shape the
legislation, and the one hundred and eight on
the floor control the other seventy-six on all
party questions, and all questions pass before
the caucus and take party shape. We are
thus in the hands of rebel brigadiers

Unsolved Mystery of the swamps.
[ohIcago HeraId.l

At various times for fifty years smoke
has been seen issuing from the swamps OF
Florida and every conceivable theory pro-
jected to account for it. The swamp Is
impassable, but men have penetrated very
near to where the smoke ought to be.
There, however, they could see no sign Of
it. 1t is even claimed that some have
gone directly through it without knowing
it, and Judge White, an aged citizen, is
positive he was once within five or six
miles Of it, when It was perfectly plain.
So the weight of scientific opinion is that
1t is vapor collected by peculiar condi.
tions In the great swamp, invisible, OF
course, to one in it, but opaqne to those a
few miles away. We all love mystery,
and so the common voice runs that an
opening in the swamp discharges a blue
smoke from some underground source.
