The New York Herald publishes q
number of interviews with Congressmen
10 show the drift of opinion on the work
Of Congress.
As to the Republicans, several Of them,
with Senator Allison at the head, believe
an extra session advisable and neces-
sary others think 1t inexpedient, and
Senator ingalls, says positively that Pres
ident Harrison will not summon one.
The Republicans, OF course, all favor the
admission of several territories.
Western Republicans, like Senator
Henderson and Representative Burrows,
think the Senate tariff bill too high, and
say that while the people are for pro-
lection they don't want too much of 1t.

/ Senator ingalls,, af'er an elaborate In
teryiew on the Southern question, says
that "the blacks are becoming blacker
and the whites whittier" meaning that the
lines between the tTO races ale being
more closely drawn He says also that
the blacks increase much more rapidly
than the whites, which intensi6es the
gravity Of the situation. His inference
is, that IN the long run the black popula-
ton will vastly out number-lhe whites,
but he fails to note one important point
not mentioned in the last census report,
viz that the death rate of blacks is a
third greater than that of the whites.
Another point In the problem Is the
inflow OF Northern people 10 the South.
As to the feelings OF the North, he says
that there Is no malevolence or hatred
towards The South Ia Northern people,
so far as | have heard or known on &C
count of The war II that sentiment
ever existed, il has disappeared. On the
contrary, there is much sympathy, aud
the feeling OF amlty IS strong Many
intelligent Nouherners. even among the
Republicans, appreciate the motives
which imptl the suppression II the col.
ored vote. and admit that under similar
circumstances they would be strongly
moved in the same direction. II was on
this account that the sectional appeal
lost It's force IN the North, and the pub-
iic esr apparently became duh and deaf
10 H. As a rule, also. immortality and
politics never become unpopular till they
become Improbable Had the North not
become suddenly aroused to the danger
that threatened their civilization and
their industries by these spurious and
manufactured majorlles in Congress and
in the Electoral College, the Democratic
party might have succeeded In November.
There is no disposition TO interfere in
local or State government In the South,
bat they made the mistake Of attempting
to force by the same methods q hostile
policy upon apeople whose interests were
vitality involved, and that are, in some
respects, not wholly In accord with their
own"

II Il not IN spirit Of partisan bias or
preIudice that we pronounce the message
Of President Cleveland, delivered TO the
Flf.ieih Congress Of The United states 1t
he FINAL session yesterday as truly the
mastery production Of the intellect o; a
master Statesman The equal of any
state paper that has ever emsnaled from
any Chief Executive Of the United States,
and The superior Of The great majority OF
similar documents. with which the pre-
aent generation has become familiar Ia
il every LILLE detail Of the concerns and
welfare Of the country has been minutely
and carefully discussed, and with a
breadth o. mind showing that the Presi.
dent fully rlasps tie entire situation
and thst hs administration has been
guided only by principles of virtue aud
patriotism.
/, Is specially to be noticed that
throughout the message, the President
shows himself to be thoroughly imbued
with the sense Of the wisdom Of bis
snecial message to Congress in favor OF
q reform in the present Ubiquitous system
If taxation which accummulstes vast
surplus in the Treasury, not only repre-
sentinr that much wealth exloried from
the pockets Of the toiling masse', but
wihdrawipq hundreds Of millions of dol
lars annually from the legitimate chan
ncle Of trade He dclineates with graphic
non the naturalization and corruption
threatened by such an enormous surplus
Of idle money in the Treasury, and the
tendency which such system has to en-
able the few rich to grow richer at the
EXPENSE of the many poor, and TO permit
corruption and the purchase of votes by
accumulated capital to degrade the
country and stamp out the last yeslige
of American manhood.
This IS the keynote Of the message ;
but. throughout, it treats in a quiet,
calm. wise and conservative manner, Of
all subjects of public interest, eyincing
earnest study and the supreme desire to
work only ior the general veal.
The documents replete with instructive
and interesting information 10 every cit

be hoped that the people may not have
cause TO regret In the near future that
they have taken tie reins Of government

The bull dog IS much moro easy TO
train and control than is generally sup
posed. | am convinced that lie pOssesses
quite as much brain power as any of the
larger dogs. His appearance is very
much against his character for gentle
ness and this has caused people to shun
and avoid him, SO that his disposition.
however pleasant it may have been orig

by the treatment which he has received,
though he is even now much less ferocious
than he is believed 10 be. No dog is ca
pable of greater affection than he. or
shows more gratitude for any kindness.
Pure high bred dogs of any kind are hard
TO train, for the reason that they are too
high spirited. The mongrels of the street
can be much more easily trained, because
they can be much more easily controlled.

Excursionists who travel along the
sea coast in summer are often attracted
by the remarkable whiteness of the
lighthouses, beacons and keepers dwell
ings, and they wonder how these guides
to the mariner are kept in such a shin
ing condition during the winter as well
as summer. The material used is simply
whitewash, and here is the United States
government formula for mixing a white
wash that when properly made and ap-
piled gives a white that does not easily
