Every day adds to the strong probability
that Congress will do nothing this winter
with the oliver question, The ruling cle-
msnt Of the Democratic party in the
HouSe 10 disposed 10 leave silver as It Is,
steadily accumulating in the Treasury
vault. The recommendation Of the Press.
dent has not brought into accord with
him those Democratic Congressman
who favor the coinage Of silver dollars as
n)w provided by Law.
These members, being for the most part
iros traders, are Initiated bscause the
President came out 60 lat.iooted on silver
and left their pet scheme Of tariff reduC.
ton to take care Of itself, They agree
with MI. Wattetson that the President Is
cepAurable for leaving out Of his meEssge
certain recommendations which they re-
gard 40 Of high importance. There Is also
on tho part Of Democratic Congressman a
feeling that the President Snot moving
fast enough in the matter Of reforming Re-
publlcans out OF Office. Since the PreHi.
dent will not help Democrats in Congress
as they think they ought TO be helped,
they are inclined to lot the President
paddle his own canoe on the troubled
waters Of the silver sea.
There will be some help from Republic
cans, partly because there are Republl.
cans who oppose any restriction Of the
silver coinsse, and also because there are
moro Republicans who do not object to
helping on in a nsiSbborly way q riot in
the Democratic household. Mr.. Morri.
son has given out that the silver question
shall not be considered until bis tariff
measure shall have been disposed Of,
which il itself a black eye iorsilver. Mr..
Morrison is powerful in the House, for
he has with him the Speaker and 4 large
majority Of Democratic members.

one "Dutch Jacob" who on his return

This is how the now famous hymn
Sweet BY aud By" came to DO written;
DR.. Fillmore Bennett, the author, lives at
richmond, ILL.,, and Is poor. The hymn
was written by DR.. Bennett, at Elkhorn,
Wisconsin, In 1868. The writing Of the
words was based upon the remark made
by ]. p. Webster, who composed the
music. Mr.. Webster was Of an exceed.
ingly nervous and sensitive nature, and
subject to periods OF terrible depression.
10 one Of his melancholy moods he chanc.
cd to drop in at the house Of DR., Bennett,
when tho latter asked him: "WhRt Is
the matter now2" "0h, 1t is no matter"
replied the respondent man ut will be
ali right by and by. The last three words
in mediately conveyed u suggestion TO DIR.
Bennett, and no says: 1.-THE idea oithe
hymn came to me Ikea flash Of sunlight"
Turning to his desk, he penned the words
which have since become 80 famous. He
says 1t did not take him moro than twenty
minutes 10 write the hymn.

OF common sense.
We do not know how low in the neck
Miss BayArd wore her party dresSeS, 20
that no reference 10 her Is intended in
commenting on another phase Of the low.
nsCked dress. There are women, young
and middle.Aged, whose dresses are cut
below the line OF delicGUy, not to say de.
cOnCy. This is not done for comfort.
From which II follows that IL must be
done for display. The thing itself is 30

We regard with some pain the state Of
mind into which the Regakr has been
thrown by the passage Of the Police and
Fire Board ordinance. II we cannot SOL
ace our nelghbor in Its Rilliction, We hope
at least to be able to remove a false i'm
preston concernlng one Of the provisions
OF tho ordinance,
The R,Oirsr takes the untenable
ground that because the officers Of the
city are To be chosen from among itS
voters, all Of those voters must Big eligible
to all offices. The officers Of the State
. are chosen from lis qualified voters, yet
the State election law Acts Of Legislature
Of 1888, page 81 provide that "the County
Court OF each county shall, before the gen
eral election in each year in which such
election Is held, appoint three voters, one
Of whom, at least, shall be Of opposite pol
itics to the others, to act as commissioners
Of the selection" sc. Noonshas ever claimed
the law to be void, and the Language OF
the Police and Fire Board ordinance
which has so unusrvsd the Regi'tT is
taken from this act.
The &C! Of March 3, 1870, makes ineli.
rlblo the City Sergeant and his deputies
after two successive terms, The Circun-
stance Of residence, az living in n part
Of the city and not in another, renders
other voters ineligible to some city offices,
Every nstursl'S,d, rs well as every native
born, male citizen Is entitled TO vote for
the electors who choose q President OF the
United state', bu. only the native born
are eligible to the Presidency.
In abort 1t dots not follow that because
these officers must be chosen from among
the qualified electors, any aud every one
Of those voters is eligible for election to
every office. The limitations NJ wisely
incorporated in the ordinance, and wO
doubt whether the Rrgi'Er will be able to
lay up a great store Of partisan capital by
reason Of any prescription 1t has been
allie to lind in the ordinance.
