The week has been an unusually
interesting one in Congress-. The
Forty Eight much discussed and
prophisied of House Committees were
announced to the expectant Members

of dissatisfaction, disappointment
and allegations of blunders made,
followed. High tariff men and anti

10 the Editor ofthe MIDLAND JOURNAL,
DEAR SIR In answer to your cores
pondent IT., beg to state that the whole
force and effect of my statement was to show
the iuefficiency of prayer nnaccompanied by
works. 1t was not intended to show the
uselessness of prayer but to illustrate that
prayer. when unsupported by corresponding
works can accomplish nothing, and this po-
sition is not only the dictate of common
sense, but it is affirmed by the teachings of
an Apostle, who tells ns that faith, without
works is dead, being alone. The head and
front of my offending hath this extent, no
more. | respectfully leave my friendly
critic to fight it ont with the Apostle, for
have hardly time to explain my lectures to
those who happen to misunderstood or fail
to understand them.
Very Truly Yours,
FRED'K DOUGLASS.

The women folks have all gone daft over

I'd rather have the women in love with me than

very shy of one who can take care of herself.
When a girl of Miss Anderson's ago can show
such bank account and keep right on making

A BRANCH OF DEMOCRACY:
Views of Bishop Harris aud DIR. Tiffany on
the Third Party.

Chicago Tribune.
There were many little groups gathered here
and there in the basement Of the large church
at Evanston, yesterday, discussing at intervals
the temperance question. c. E. Vaudeville had
the attention of Bishop w. l.. Harris, who is
visiting here and who assisted Bishop Merrill
in some of his duties. Mr.. Vaudeville wanted
to know about the phases of the prohibition
issue and the Bishop expressed himself very
freely.
''How about it? I'll tell you General Fisk,
a royal good man, has been put up for Governor
of New Jersey, and doubtless expected to re-
ceive the Endorsement of many of the Repub-
lcan leaders, but they have not Endorsed him.
Let me say there is no more chance for General
Fisk to be elected Governor of New Jersey than
for me to become the angel Gabriel"
''How about the party already formed, whose
members say, we are here to stayF"
."Yes, the third party is here, but what has it
done? You will not acknowledge that the 10, 900
of Ohio represented the prohibition element of
Ohio in the last election, when on former vote
there were cast over 300 900 when all the temper
arce element united on an issue where all could
come and vote irrespective of party. That meas
ure doubtless would have been carried had there
been fair count"
''How did they do down in Georgia."
am tell you. It was a local election, and all
parties united on a special issue to vote out the
LIQUOR traffic. Had either of the great parties
taken up the issue they would doubtless have
been defeated. But it was not party issue at
ALL"
A voice called out: 'Bishop. in your wide
travels over the land, what is your Judgment
Has the third party damaged the cause Of prohi-
btion or not!"
II really do not know, but I think it has.

and I'll get into trouble politics if don't look

''No you won't; give US your hand" and score

for shake.
The Bishop got out of the large group and went
on his way rejoicing
Then reporter found Dr. o. H. Tiffany sur
rounded by a similar group, and the following
questions were propounded:
doctor, we want to know what you think of

"REFORMu METHODS.

TO promote the great cause of reform, as it
is understood in Democratic circles, one Mr.
Harrity ward politician and worker" WIS
some months ego appointed postmaster of
Philadelphia to succeed General Huidekoper
who was removed for offensive partisanship
Under the new management the postal service
in that city rapidly became so bad that all
classes, without regard to party, were loud in
their protests and complaints. The Record,
Democratic organ, was perhaps more severe
in it's structures than any other paper, and it
was probably due to its persistent complaints
that the department finally ordered an investi-

pleted and the report turned in, but just
what it is reformer Villas declines
to say. He informs the inquiring
representatives of the press, however
that without having read the report
he is qualified to say that it is absolutely non
partisan and impartial. He has also learned
without reading the document, that it is of a
character requiring no immediate attention,
and, this being the case, he will postpone its
consideration until after he has prepared the
annual report of the departments task
which, it may be remarked incidentally, will
occupy the Postmaster general until the fall
elections are over. After that date, and after.
Postmaster Harrity has ceased for the time to
have any burning interest in politics, the
papers which do not whitewash will probably
be taken up and examined. Whatwill be the
condition of the Philadelphia mail service in
the meantime does not appear, but any irreg
ularities in that direction are of little moment
to Democratic reform administration.
