Mr.. Raadall has aim st recovered

for instance, to ascend TO the sky
to descend under the earth, these
fessions are false IN them
selyts, for being situated in the
bosom of the infinite, we can
neither ascend nor descend; there
is no above nor below; these
words have only an acceptatIon
relative to The terrestrial surface
on which we live.
The universe must, therefore,
be repre- sented as an expanse
without limits, without shores,
illnnited, infinite, in The bosom of
which float suns like that which
lights us, and earths like that
which poises under our steps.
Neither dome, nor vaults, nor
limits of any kind; void in every

WASHINGTON, Dec IL, 1888.
At noon Monday week Speaker
Carlisle formally declared the
opening of the second session Of
the Fifheth Congress. A few
seconds later Senator Ingalls per-
formed like service for the
Senate. There were mluy
vacant seats in both Houses, but
the most of them was occupied
in few days. On Wednesday,
IN accordance with the vote of
the House which broke the cele-
brated deadlock of the last ses
sion, the Direct-tax bill, winch
has been passed by the Senate, is
expected TO be taken up. No
iillibustering Is expected, and it's
m mobable that the bill will be pass
ed, but there are many people
here who believe that the presi-
dent will veto 1t. In the Senate.
il Senator Allison has his way the
tariff bill VIII be taken up this
week, but OWING to the Republi-
can opposition this may not be
done.
Ever since the election there
has been much curiosity as to
what Mr.. Cleveland would do
after he goes out of Office. can
crafty this curiosity: Early in
the Spring 1t is at present the
plan of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
to leave for Europe, where they
will stay for an indefinite period.
Further than that nothing Is set
tied.
Owing to heavy payments by
the Treasury the public debt
shows an increase of about SILL
600, 600 for the mouth of Novem-
Der. The largest single item was
the quarterly pension payment Of
$23, 900, 900.
Washington is TO haye a circle
named IN honor of General w. S.
Hancock, upon which the Society
of the Army of the Potomac will
erect handsome statue to his
memory.
Representative Mcmillan, who
is a member of the House com.
mittee on Ways and Means
thinks 1t probable that an attempt
will be made to pass a bill embody-
ing the internal revenue features
Of the Mills bill. He thinks th'
changes proposed would give
much needed relief, and that the,
would cut off half Of the frivolou
prosecutions under the law as i
now stands, and that The collrc
ton Of the revenue would not b
impaired in the least.
Secretary Whitney's anuua
report Is very interesting docu
ment. He gives the status of TIA
Navy as it will be on the 4th, 0
March, 1889, and compares
with The Navy of March 4tL

Phelps in Love With the Ticket, an,
Sure of It's success.


WASHINGTON, July Cd Congressman
William Walter Phelps has returned to the
city, and reviewing the work of the Chi
cago Convention says that after five days of
incessant discussion the Convention chose
General HARRISON with surprising unanim-
lty. They wanted a doubtful State, and
Harrison lived in Indiana. They wanted
Western candidate. Harrison was in the
West and not tar enough from the East to
be out OF sympathy with Eastern thought.
Harrison lived near the center of popula-
ton, and was almost a composite photo
graph of the nations wants. He was
neither granger nor an anti-granger. He
had good running qualities OF another kind.
He had home and cherished it and he
had all The hoInely qualities which are the
best gift to an American who seeks office
by the popular vote. He had a good
record, and not too much of it. He had
ancestry, but did not depend upon il. These
were the reasons which influenced the
Convention, after six days OF honest and
conscientious examination, to nominate
General Harrison. 1t was the best possible
outcome. He was the one candidate had
urged for many months as the one easiest
10 elect, and | was entirely sincere u hen |
te!egraphed to General Harrison that he
was the one happy issue out of all our
troubles, and that the Convention was very
fortunate to have found il oul.

IN FOR THE SUMMER.
The Tariff Question VIII Tie Congress
Up Until September.

lColyrigit, lSs BY Ike California Associa,- Press
WASHINGTON, July %. - Congressman
Anderson mas had considerable experience
in long sessions in Congress, and his
opinion is usually pretty good one as to
when an adjournment will take place. He
reports 1t as his opinion that this Congress
Will not adjourn until September. He said
tonight: If | were a betting man,
should name some day between the 5th and
1lth of September. The Democrats are de-
termined to pass the Mills bill in the
House, and they will do it. The talk that
the Republicans will offer g substitute is
sheer nonsense. We could prepare no bill
to pass a Democratic House. Well, then.
that being the case. the only thing for US to
do is to discuss the Mills bill. Between
the 2Ith OF this month and the first week
IN August q final vote will be taken.
The bill will then so to the Senate, which
is Republican, and a substitute will be
passed. OF course the Senators will have
little talking to do. Three weeks at least
will be consumed. The bill will then come
back 10 the House. A conference will be
ordered, and about two weeks more will be
taken up IN coming 10 an agreement. The
bill will then be brought to five or six
specifications on which compromise will
be necessary, in order to get the bill TO the
PRESIDENT. AS the case stands, the Repub-
Hcans are put in an attitude of being op-
posed TO reduction of taxation. Now,
when the bill comes from the Senate it will
be fairly made. The Republicans will
then have given the country its bill for
reduction OF taxes, and the Democrats will
be placed on the defensive. 1t will then be
our turn TO laugh. II bill is sent to the
President it will not be the Mills bill, but
compromise measure, and in the confer
ence the probabilities are that free wool
will be stricken from the bill. 50 you see
the indications are that we will be here for
the SUMNER
