The Next Congress.
R1EfLnnd HprnLd

Until we get through with this
congress it may not be worth while
to speculate much about the next !;
but as it has already been elected,
it is of some interest to know what
political complexion it wears in the
eyes of the clerk of the house.
That official, General Clark, classifes
the members as 16S democrats, 152 re-
publicans and four Independent, with
one vacancy (Rhode Island) to be fill
ed, probably by "a republican. One
hundred and ninety five of the NUM-
Der are old members, being more than
the number of old members in the
present congress. Of the old members
100 are democrats and 95 are republi-
cans. If the Independents divide, as
they are expected to do, equally be-
tween the two sides, it will give the
democrats majority of fourteen in a
full house. That is hardly what is
called Il good working majority, but
it would be enough to enable them to
do a good deal of mischief if the re-
publican senate were not in the way.

How George Was Roped In.

he said, when she entered the parlOr
where he was waiting for her.
"Well, | should think l ought to
look excited" she answered, "Pve just
had the most awful argument with
ma" And she began to sob hysteri-
cally.
"Why, what is the matter, my darl-
ling" he inquired, as he slid an arm
around her waist and endeavored to
soothe her. "What was the argu-
ment 2"
ooh, how can 1 tell you7 She said
you were only trifing with me, and
that you would never pop the ques-
ton; and told her that she did you
a great injustice, for l believed you
would pop the question tonight. She
said you would not and we had it hot
and heavy. Dear George, you will
not let ma triumph over me, will you 2"
"Wh-hy, certainly not" answered
George.
81 knew it, my darling!" the dear
girl exclaimed. "COme, let us go to
ma, and tell her how much mistaken
she was !"
Ank they did, and ma didn't seem
to be so very much broken down over
the affair.

A killing Pace.
Chicago Tribune.


Moderate drinkers engaged in pur-
suits calling for judgment and acumen,
and who use liquors during business
hours, end, with scarcely an exception,
as financial wrecks, however success
full they may be in withstanding the
physical consequences of their indulg-
ence. Thousands who retain their
health aud are never ranked as vic
tins of intemperance lose their prop
erty, wreck their business, and are
thrown into bankruptcy because of
tipping habits during business hours.
Liquor acts on the brain in the same
manner as chlorofOrm or ether, prOduc
ing a stimulation which affects cool
thought, followed by a depression cor
responding to the amount of the dose.
Moderate drinkers who attempt to do
business with even slightly excited
brains are the men who are all the
time making losses and going to the
wall. 1t is to the thousands of mOder
ate drinkers who are never seen intOx-
icated or overcome with liquor that
our remarks especially apply. These
men decline to become teetOtalers, but
they can easily adopt habit of total
abstinence during business hours. If
they do not possess enough power of
self-deDial to keep from tipping dur
lug business hours, the sooner they re-
tire from business the better for them,
for they are on the sure road to defeat.

eeThe FIood-Gates of Nastiness.'
The Current.

The Current
Once more the food gates of nasti-
ness are open, and our daily papers
are eagerly crOwding their columns
with every detail they can gather of
the debauchery and meanness of a
noble lord and the miseries of his in
suited wife. Is it at all necessary that
this kind of filth should be spread be-
fore the public? The perusal of the
daily papers has become a part of our
daily life !; the children read the paper,
too, and if some special issue of the
paper should be kept from them it
would at once awaken that kind of Gu
riosity that would lead to most harm
full results. Much as we glory in a
free press, bOundless as is our faith
in the educational power of our daily
journals, could we not have a clean
press? Is it really necessary for our
reputable journals, who have reached
the point where they can afford to be
independent of the desires and caprices
of the prurient reader, to fill their col
umns with the detailed accounts of
prize-fghts and the horrible records of
the fOulest murders The editors of
these journals will hardly plead that
they are showing the hideousness of
vice in order that it may be abhorred.
1t is a little too late in the day to urge
that argument. 1t is not too much to
ask, in the old age of the nineteen tn
century, that journalism shall be so
clean and healthful that we shall not
be afraid for our daughters to read ev-
cry line, advertisements and all.

Romance of History.

Conrad the emperor of Germany,
was remarkable for his unsparlng pun
ishment of all who crossed his purpose.
A quaint but true legend recites that
certain Count LupOld, who was one
of those fearing death, fled into a
remote forest and lived in hut with
his wife. 1t happened that the
emperor, while hunting, came to the
spot, and passed the night with them.
This night the counts wife became the
mother of son, and the emperor
dreamed that the child born would be
his heir. AS the same dream required
twice, he was greatly troubled, and
the next morning he commanded two
of his servants to kill the child. They
took it away but being moved to
compassion by it's smiles, they placed
it under a tree, and brought back a
hare's heart to the emperor. a GER
tain duke, passing by soon after,
found the child and took it home to
his wife, and adopted it as his own.
Afterward the emperor being with this
duke, and hearing him relate, as for
est adventure, the history of this boy,
who was then present began to sus-
pect that the victim had escaped. Be-
ing confirmed in the opinion, he took
him into his service as page, and then
sent him with a letter to his empress,
in which he charged her upon pain of
his displeasure, to have the bearer put
to death. The youth set out, and af-
ter seven days came to a certain
priests house, who received him with
great hospitality. The priest was
struck by his comedy air, and by his
travelling so far. While be slept he
looked at this letter, and discovered
the horrible fate that awaited him ; so
erasing the writing, he substituted
these words:
"This is the youth whom l have
chosen as the husband of our daughter.
| charge you to give her to him quick
ly."
Next morning the lad awoke refresh
ed, and said:
''Adieu, dear host"
The priest replied:
Remember me when you are en-
peror."
The boy only laughed, esteeming it
Jest so they parted. On arriving at
Aix-la- Chapelle he delivered his letter,
and so well did the strategem succeed
that when the emperor wrote soon at
ter, to ask if his order had been obey
ed, the empress assured him that the
nuptials had been celebrated with
great celebrity as he desired. The en-
peror hardly believed his eyes when
he read her letter. Mounting his horse,
he rode off Immediately and with great
speed to Aix-la- Chapelle. On his ar
rival the empress presented their
daughter and son-in-law. For long
time the emperor seemed lost in aston
ishment and uncertain what to do. At
length nature prevailed, and he ex-
claimed:
"The will of heaven cannot be re-
sisted !"
Then he compelled the two squires
to reveal what they had done, and the
count to come from the Black Forest

Gen. Ven NOltke Speaks.
BE APPEAIs TO THE RKICHSTAG TO ADOPT THE SEP
TESNATR BILL.

rENNATE Bill.
In the debate on the septennate bill in the Ger
man reichstag Saturday Gen. Won Moltke spoke.
He said that all the neighbors OF Germany, on the
left and on the right, were fully amed-a state OF
things which even rich country was unable TO
bear for any length OF time, and which might lead
to decisive events at early date For this reason
ii was necessary not to defer action on the meas
ure until after the expiration OF the Septennate.
The preamble TO the bill showed how far Germany
WAS behind other states in the strength OF her
army and the taxation Of her people The French,
for instance, paid about double the sum paid by
the German people and an alliance with France
would assure the peace OF Europe But, he con-
tinued, 'Such an alliance Is impossible while
public opinion in France impetuouSY demands
The surrender OF two provinces which are
IN i aeSe sn 70 sis n up
Austria was valuable, but great state must rely
upon its own strength The measure under con-
TO a war establishment inasmuch as by the IorIna-
tion OF new cadres the army would be raised
To war footing. The ball had been complied with
due regard 70 what Was financially bfainable but
where weighty questions OF military strength and
the defense OF the country Were involved financial
considerations must be put aside, This demand,
he said ais made in behalf OF the maintenance OF
peace, 20 laborfously preserved Our rejection Of
The bin will make Us responsible for all the mis-
cries attendant upon a hostile invasion. We have
found It difficult enough to attain the unity of
Germany. Let Us apaoid 1t, proving that We are
Template conaues Nay II also learn that e' we H.
tend 70 keep what we have, and are resoiute and
armed TO this end
The conclusion OF Count Won Noltke's speech was
greeted with loud and prolonged cheer.
Gen. Won SchelendOrh, PruSSian minister Of war,
said AR increase of the army win not only result
In preventing our becoming involved in war, but
will also prove u ready TO show proper vigor In
the maintenance OF peace. France Is working TO
perfect the details OF her array. Even though we
are quite confident that we are able al any no
ment TO meet foreign army, our task must not be
made dif1icuB by our remaining Far behind num-
erfcaily."
The debate was then declared closed. and the bill
was referred 10 q committee OF twent Weight mefn-
beTs. The tenor OF the debate Is considered highly
encouraging 20 the government.
