The Congressional orators who draw the
largest audiences are Senator Iugalls, of
Kansas, and Representative Martin, of
Texas. People flock to hear Mr.. Ingalls,,
not because they expect him to say any
thing statesmanlike, nor because they at
tach much Importance to anything he says,
but because he generally creates a sensation
by hurting an invective against somebody
or other. Until the other night, Washington
people had not heard Mr.. Martin, but it is not
venturing too much to say that in future
they will miss no opportunity of hearing
him. They knew him, however, as the
member who blew out the gas, and it was
very natural to suppose that Congress
man who did that would say something
which, in its way, was worth hearing.
They were not disappointed. Tne hotel
porter, who, it is alleged, attracted by the
smell of gas, broke open Mr.. Martins door
and preserved the Texans life, saved to the
country one of the most remarkable speeches
ever delivered in Congress- speech which
will go along with those of Frank Lawler
and Calamity" Weller. Mr.. Martin spoke
on the tariff. The reports of what he said
v =.
but they convey the unmistakable impress
sion that he said some very remarkable
things He began by addressing the chair
as "Mr. President" then checked himself,
and begged the members to excuse him, as
this was his first effort. As he proceeded
he made use Of many quaint expressions,
and he frequently attempted lofty flights of
eloquencs, but just before reaching the
climax he would come to an abrupt end,
at which the members and the audience
would laugh. In fact, he was interrupted
| every few minutes with shrieks Of laughter,
but that did not embarrass him, as no was
blissfully ignorant of the cause, and to all
appearance Believed it to be a tribute to his
eloquonce Like his sentences, his closing
was unexpected, and when he sat down he
was quite overwhelmed with congratula-
lions.
Now, all this may strike tho public as
being somewhat ridiculous, and perhaps it
is but there are two things to be said in
Mr.. Martins favor-he spoke on the right
side of the question. and he will vote on
the right side. In that view of his public
career, he is of more service to the country
than ADLER and more sophisticated members
who favor those tariff laws which, to use
Mr. Martins expression, were framed for
the upper ten thousand and against the
lower million.

A Queer Society Found in Iowa.
From the st. Louis RepubIican


81 found queer society up there in Iowa
county. They call themselves The True In
spirationists,' and all their property is held in
common. No one has individual possessions
and but $40 to 800 is allowed to a man and S25
to $40 to a woman for spending money or Der-
sonal emolument. Marriage lowers the spirit
ual standing of member, though it is allowed
Rule 10 of their bylaws reads like this: Fly
from the society OF womankind as much as
possible, as a highly dangerous magnet and
magical fire. Reasonably enough the CommI1-
years: they are now about 1900 or 800 strong.
Their WOODEN goods, and, indeed, everything
they make, are quoted away above the usual
market price for that class of goods
They are eeminently moral and upright.
not one single case of conlplaint
against them being found on the records of
the county. A rule for children Isl DO not
play with children Of the other SEX They in
dulge in no amusement. One of the head men
said to me: A picnic is mighty poor business
Their houses are German in appearance, warm
comfortable, and filled with everything in the
way of eating and drinking. The dress is of
the simplest sort, and no ornamentaton is al
lowed. The womea all wear blue calico with n
black wrap or cap over the head. TIE horses
and oxen are too fat for severe service Every-
body takes it easy; an outsider will do as much
as four of the community in a day. They are
winemakers. but, being first of ali law abiding
citizens, they have dropped that branch Of their
industry. They read few papers and take little
interest in politics, but at the test election the
whole colony in body voted against prohibi
ton. The chances that woman suffrage will
ultimately prevail has tendency 70 further dis
turb them. The sexes are required always To
sit apart, TO prevent silly talk, and because
the female is dangerous 70 the peace of mind. {"

Young Men to the Front.

The recent State convention shows how
prominently the young men of this State
have come TO the front within the last few
years Look at the list of young men hon
ored at that convention Hoke Smith, a
rising Atlanta lawyer, was made permanent
chairman; the gentlemen selected for dele
gates at large to st. Louis are Fleming
duBignon, Washington Dessau, A. II. Cox
and Pope Barrow, the last named being the
Oldest of the four, and if there is bald spot
on his head-we believe there is-it is not
due to Old age. Among tho district dele
gates are Editor w. l.. Glessner, of AmerI-
Gus, an old hand at party work, but
comparatively a young man; Emmett Wom-
mack, of Covington, who, though young,
has made his mark as Solicitor General of
his circuit; Robert Berner, of Forsyth,
young lawyer and lawmaker who is at
once handsome and talented; Elitor Frank
Richardson, of Macon, who, if he is given
the chance, will make better speech at st.
Louis than many older delegates; Finney
Rucker, of Athens, a regular young RATHER
in campaign work, and Beverly Evans, Jr.,
of Sandersville, young limb of the law,
who has not long passed his majority, but
who has served already term in the Legis-
lature
A glance over the convention showed the
presence of remarkable set of men-young,
vigorous and talented. 1t also revealed the
fact that the future interests of the State,
both at home and in the national councils,
will be jealousy guarded and ably advo-
Gated.
1t is pretty much the same way through
out the country. In the United States SEN
ate, Kenna, Faulkner, Spooner and Daniels
may be called young men; in the House
there are Grimes, Crisp and Clements, of
Georgia; Phelan and Enloe, of Tennessee:
Dougherty, of Florida; Belmont, Bryce and
Cochran, of New York; Raynor, of Mary
land; Lodge, of Massachusetts, and a host
of others. Alabama, Tennessee, New York
and other States have young and progress
i've Governors, whilo in the State Legisla-
lures and local governments the young mon
largely predominate.
Well the young men are proving equal
to the trust reposed in them. They have
got to handle tho reins some time, and why
shouldn't they begin doing SO carly in life.

Tariff reform seems TO be quite popular
among the Democrats. The dispatches
have announced already the denomination
of Congressman Outhwaite, WAC is one of
the pronounced advocates of the Mills bill,
and the defeat of Congressman wilkins,
who is as pronounced in hissopposition TO
that measure. AT one time it was Thought
that Mr.. Seney, one of Mr.. Randall's fol-
lowers, would be beaten, but he has man
aged to pull through, doing so only by
promising to support the Mills bill The
tariff reformers in Congress naturally feel
little elated. They cannot help feeling
that way when they see such unmistakable
evidences that the country Is with them on
that question

The suggestion of some Indiana Demo
Gratis, that Minister Charles DENLY, of that
State, be nominated for Vice President by
the Democrats, appears to be good one,
unless his nomination could be considered a
victory for the opponents of Gov. Gray
and thus cause apathy in that faction of
the party. If the Indiana Democrats can't
lay aside their chickering's and unite on a
candidate, the probability is that they will
not be represented on the ticket. Perhaps
they will unite on Minister DENLY.

A bill making an appropriation for new
building for the United States Supreme
Court is before the Senate Committee on
Public Buildings, and, it is thought, will be
favorably considered. The present quarters
of the Supreme Court are said to be made
quate, ths court room proper being too
small, the law library room being in the
basement, besides being too small and too
dark, and the clerks Office and the consuta-
ton rooms being removed inconveniently
from the court room. A site for new
building is being considered, in ca Sc the APP
preparation is made.

The Legislature Of Washington Territory
has got matters considerably tangled up.
In passing the law changing the tims for
holding the legislative sessions, the MEM
bers unwittingly legislated themselves in
for a second term. That is, the law may be
so construed as to allow them to hold over
till next March, which amounts to the
same thing, as the session begins in Janu-
airy. This is another instance of careless
Legislation, and it shows that that territory
badly needs a governor who knows when to
apply tho veto.

Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, is trying

turned from politics long enough to intro
duce bill appropriating SIS, 900 for putting
department telegraph and telephone wires
in Washington under the ground, and
SloO,OOO for putting those of the District
out OF sight. The deaths that have been
caused lately by people coming in contact
with broken electric wires have aroused
considerable interest in this reform, and
underground wires are being advocated in
more cities than Washington. The multi
plying network Of wires in American cities
increases every year the chances Of acct
dents, and, besides, the wires are becoming
IN eyesore. Should Washington lead Off in

In childish hours gone by,
OF an island in the ocean,
And mountain tall and high.
This mountain was a magnet,
To use our modern phrase,
And worked a mighty havoc,
Or so the story says.
II e'er a ship was passing,
Nails flew from deck and mast,
And sought the wondrous mountain.
And chung there firm and fast.
The mountain was magnetic,
AS no one could deny;
But, ali. the ships and seamen
