Judging from expressions of members of
Congress, there is little prospect of antisilver
legislation this winter. The members do not
snow any signs of weakening in consequence of
Asampiing public sentiment during the holi-
day recess. Nor are the anti-coinage men dis
posed to surrender their views. The President,
In an interview yesterday, took positive
ground as ever, though he said the question had
now passed out of his control into that of Con-
gress, and he had no intention Of undertaking
10 influence that body further. 1t is said that
the silver debate in the Senate, opened by MIR.
Beck's caustic speech, will be renewed as soon
as congress reconvenes, and that a considerable
majority Of democratic Senators will put them
selves on record against the administrations
policy In this particular.

Lord Randolph Churchill suggests that Ire
land be put on the same footing as Scotland as
regards home rule. This reform will scarcely
be radical enough to satisfy the Irish leaders,
but In the case of Scotland, a country once as
hostile to England as well could be, the present
basis OF union has worked very well. Probably
this latest scheme, like others which have pre-
viously been outlined, is published to elicit the
views Of the Irish party for 1t has become pretty
evident that with them rests the solution of
the problem If, that is, they keep their heads,
and manage the present delicate negotiations
with the tact and good Judgment displayed
heretofore by their leader, Mr.. Parnell.

The cable informs US that the union between
Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia is now an ac-
complished fact If 50, the war in the Balka ms
Is over, for the present, at least, and the
boundary lines of Europe have been changed
once more to the disadvantage of Austria and
Turkey. These two powers seem to be decidedly
on the wane. Austria has lost her former
italian possessions and large slices of territory
at the north, and Turkey is retreating sullenly,
year by year, towards the Bosphorus.

several peculiar things, among them the

men can make and drunk. On the walls
were pasted red papers in the shape OF

the floor beneath these ornaments were
small goblets half filled with tea.
Pieces of burning punk were stuck in

Journal: Mr.. N. j. Wallace, who lives
near here, has been notified by j. r.
Sanborn, of Yankton, a bondsman, that
the government claims of him $4,000, a
balance due from him as receiver of the
United States land office at Vermillion.
1t was almost fourteen years since Mr..
Wallace left the Office, ard why this
matter should have been left open so
long is very strange. We understand
that of the five bondsmen two are insoi
vent and two are dead. Capt. Miner was
one, we believe. Mr.. Wallace is looking
over his papers to see if the discrepancy
cannot be accounted for. Mr.. Wallace
was receiver st the time Col. Campbell
was register. Mr.. Wallace seems to be
very unfortunats in this regard. Seven
years ago he retired from the Office of
treasurer OF this county, and to every
body's surprise there was a discrepancy
of something ever $500 found against
him. He could not tell how it happened,
and very many believe to-day that if he
had received proper credits he would
not have owed a dollar. Mr.. Wallace

An ApTreciatiye Audience Listens to
an Interesting Account of Daily
Life in the American Congress.
The event of last evening was the
lecture at this Congregational church by
Hon. Charles g. Williams, of Watertown,
and it was listened to with rapt atten-
ton by a most thoroughly appreciative
audience. Iankton's lecture v~otaries
are not overwhelmingly numerous. but
they atone in the intensity of their in
terest for what they may lack in numeri-
cal quantity. Mr.. Williams subject was
The Amer san Congress, Its ms and
outs; the Real and the IDEAL" It was
presented from the standpoint of one
who vas a member of that body during
ten years of its most active experience.
The ideal congress was the congress as
1t exists in public Imagination and the
real congress was its antipode in most
of its essential Ingredients. Mr.. Will
liams pictured that body as an organi-
~zation of earnest, hard working men,
who never came within the sight of even
a cessation of Their. labors and who are
hopelassly overwhelmed in a mass of
public duties from which they can never
extricate themselves. 1t would seem
from his presentation of the case
that the affairs of tho vast constituency
OF our nation can never receive their due
attention, because there is not sufficient
time between the beginning and the
ending of the life of o congress to ac-
complish g fraction of the work laid out.
There were thousands of measures never
acted upon because it was a physical i'm
possibility to give them consideration.
There is a strong vein of humcr il
Mr.. Williams eloquence, which was
brought to the surface. in his
presentation of the trials
and tribnlations of the new congress
man and in the passages between the
brainy leaders of the house and the
senate. Ii there were any in the audi
I ence possessed of congressional aspira-
tions their ardor was doubtless chilled
! by his recital of the complete insig-
nlicance of the new and unknown
member upon the floor of the house of
representatives and the saddening lone
illness of his position. For his %constit-
uents he could do absolutely nothing,
unless through the lapse
of time he CHANGED to
popularize himself among his as
s~ociates or to exhibit evidences of the
qualities of a leader sufficiently striking
to command attention. On the whole
it was discouraging to beginners i'll poll
tics.
Mr.. Williams lecture occupied an
hou. and q half and 10 that time he went
over the entire ground of a congress-
mans duties, his daily Iabors, his hopes,
his fears, his failures and his successes.
Ii was a presentation entirely new and
of the deepest interest. The lecturer is
eloquent, scholarly, witty and possessed
of a commanding presence. Though new
in the lecture field be has had long OK
perlence as a legislator and an orator.
La his new line of work he is SO much OF
a success that he can hardly avoid fol-
lowing 1t for q time at least. We are
certain that his last nights audience
would like to hear him again.
