CONGRESSIONAL
HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, Feb. eli. d. Taylor, Of
Ohio, introduced a bill to change the com
mon law of marriage to the customs OF
modern civilization by the emancipation
of married women in the District of Col
umbia and the territories. Referred.
The house resumed the consideration of
the bill for the sale of the Black Bob In
dian reservation in Kansas. The bill was
amended so as to provide that the land.
shall be sold for Sc an acre and so amend,
ed was passed.
In reporting to the house the joint reso-
luton proposing a constitutional amend
ment, defining and prohibiting polygamy,
the house committee on the judiciary SAYS
the object is to clothe the general govern
ment with concurrent powers with the
several states to suppress the crime of
polygamy in the several states. 1t is be-
lieved, says the report, that within a very
brief period the practice OF polygamy in.
the territories will be effectually suppress
ed, but 1t must be evident to every one
that in one or perhaps more of the terri
tories the Withdrawal of the power of the
general government to punish pOlygamy,
which necessarily would follow the admis-
sion of such territories into the union as
states, would be a signal for q
return to the practice of polygamy. The
anti Mormon element would be pOwerless.
to either make or enforce laws against
this ~offense. This result, it is believed,
cannot be certainly prevented except by
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States, such as is now proposed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-JOhn P. Rea, com
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, wa asked today about the
probable passage of the Grand Army pen
sion bill and its approval by the president.
Said he: l had a conversation with Mr..

told him why l thought a bill ought to
pass. His views On pension questions sat
isied me entirely and l have the impress
sion that when our bill is laid before him
he will approve, but he made no promises
whatever. / think a majority of the
soldiers who will be benefited by this bill
are men who fought through the war,
Men who had sand to stand up under ev-
cry hardship. Such men are now suffer
ing disabilities directly traceable to war,

yite concurrent legislation on the part Of
Canada, creating provisions similar in that
country to the operation of the interstate
act in this, s o far as il affects through traf-

of your favor and have consulted Mr..

company, in relation to its contents, and
am authorized by him to say that it is
substantially in accord with our position
and such action would be satisfactory to
us. No one will be Disseminated against
because of his connection with the strike,
if it is understood that such men as have
made or attempted to make personal as
saults upon the men remaining at work are
not TO be protected from prosecution, and
provided, further, that in any conference
over wages the miners are not to expect
as to pay higher wages for mining than
those paid by other coal producing con
panies in competition with us, namely the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the
Delaware and Hudson, the Lehigh Valley,
Lehigh coal and Navigation company, and
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company;
but with the understanding that we are
willing to adopt a basis that shall give our
miners as much as is paid by either Of
these companies. 1t is understood that
the wages to be paid on returning to work
will be on the old $3.50 basis and will re-
main under that basis until a change
shall be mutually agreed upon, Yours
truly, AUSTIN CoRBIN.

Peculiar Idea About Religion.

A student deeply versed in ecclesias.
teal matters recently advanced a very
peculiar idea while conversing with a
friend. He said that the established
religion of country owed its princi-
pal doctrines less to faith than to the
conditions of its climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
of the natives of India, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, be-
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give it. He argued
that religious belief like that could
only have its origin in an intensely
hot climate like that of India, where
animal food is not necessary to sus-
tain life. Among the Laplanders such
a religion could never obtain, because
it was absolutely necessary for the
inhabitants of SO high latitude to
keep the warmth of the body up to
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that. New York Sun.

A Rope Walkers Goodness.

If myself do not feel nervous, l
am afraid the many persons l have
carried on my back across the rope
have felt trifle perturbed, save when
they have been professional assistants.
In reality there is nothing in the
world for them to be afraid of. All
they have to do is to sit perfectly still,
refrain from clutching me too tightly
around the neck and leave the rest to
me. When | am carrying any one
over for the first time, | chat to him
continuously on any Indifferent sub
jects can think about, and try in this
manner to relieve his anxiety, and
always caution him against looking
downward when in mid air. Some,
how, though, he never seems quite
happy, and | always detect gasp of
relief when the end of the rope and
the platform are reached. More than
once the victim has devoutly ex-
claimed, "Never again !''-J. B. Blon-
din in Lippincotts.
