Next Tuesday the Democratic caucus
will meet in the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives t consider the order of bust
ness, ana to take steps looking towards
an Adjournment 1t is very uncertain,
however that an Adjournment will be
possible before the last of October or the
first Of November. IT it were possible it
Is doubted by a great many good Demo
Gratis ii IN adjournment at this stage of
proceedings would be good policy. Messrs
henderson and Johnston, and IA great
many leading Democrats, both of the
House and the Senate, think the Republi-
can Senators would only be too glad of an
excuse to get rid of the responsibility OF
formulating and Introducing Il tariff bill.
Hon G. 2. Breckinridge says, ''We have
the Senate in hole, why should we help
them out ~ Speaker Carlisle says, cit is
good policy to wait until the senate Re
publicans shall have said finally what they
propose to do about tariff reform this ses-
sion before the subject of adjournment is
broached." The Democrats both in the
Senate and House have no confidence in
| the promises OF the Republican Senators
that a tariff bill will be reported from the
finance committee at this session They
regard the Republican outgivings on this
| score us part of the game of bluff designed
to deceive the people. Their idea Is that
the Republicans will continue their - hear
ings' and their promises until they think
it is safe to adjourn without fear of being
called back in extra session by an indig-
naut message from the President. If the
Democratic leaders can prevent it no such
opportunity to get out of their dilemma
will be given the Senate as would be af-
fOrded 10y resolution providing for All
early adjournment and they think they
can do this. 1t is true a great many mem
bers of the House are uneasy about the
state of things in their own districts
They prefer to look after their own indi-
vldual constituencies in person, regardless
of the effect such a course might have on

Cleveland will be elected by these figures.
More than three times as many votes have
been added to the Democratic column in
Maine as have been added to the Republican
column. The Republicans held more than
500 meetings throughout the State during
the campaign. They had all the money
they wanted and they flooded the cities
and towns with their lying circulars about
the probable njury to be done to the man
ufactures of the country by the Mills bill.
Yet they were able to gather in less than
roo votes more than they cast in 1884
while the Democrats added more than
1000 to their total. This showing is one
that should give the greatest satisfaction to
President Cleveland and to every friend
and supporter of his administration. The

was worth in Maine, and the result is a

COMING DOWN THE LANE.

Along the fields the shadows fall,
The sun is hanging low,
And on the ivy.mantled wall
The soft lights come and go;
A zephyr waited from above
Drifts DER the waving grain,
My heart goes out to meet my love,
AS she comes down the lane
| lean upon the oss.grown bars,
AS long the path she fiees,
My gracious queen no blemish mars
The coronet she wears
The sceptrc in her womans hand
viii Danish care and pain,
For am lord of all the land
When she comes down the lane.
Soft breezes play about her now,
And lift her shining hair,
The sunset glow is on her brow,
To make her passing fair;
Her beauteous face, her modest mien,
To picture them were vain,
And she is mine, my bonny queen,
AS she comes down the lane.
The daisies nod as she goes by,
The wild rose bushes pink,
Sweet song-birds round her pathway fly,
And sing the praise they think.
She lifts her head, her eyes so clear,
Smile into mine again;
NV heart cries ont good hlnaa Won door
AS she comes down the lane.

GROCERIES GO UP.
Total Destruction Of Beaupre,
Keogh & Co.'s Large Whole
sale Grocery House.
A Widespread Conaagration Pre-
vented by Prompt Action Only
Loss 100000.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 18.-The wholesale,
grocery house Of Beaupre, Keogh & Co.,
was entirely destroyed by fire last even
ing. The entire fire department. of the
city was unable to save the five-story and
basement building. For time the en-
tire wholesale portion of the city as well
as the Union depot, was threatened with
destruction.
/ Mr.. Keogh, one of the proprietors, told
an American Press Association reporter,
that the stock ofsgroceries was valued at
a fraction over $500, 900, and was in
sured for that amount in companies
represented through the agency Of John
Rogers, Jr. 6, Bro. The first seventy
five feet of the block, said Mr.. Keogh,
was owned by Willius Bros, and cost
about $50, 900; the twenty-five feet ad.
joining was owned by parties in Boston
and cost about $4,000. 1t will thus be
seen that the total loss on building and
stock is fraction over $3.50, 900, and the
total insurance is about that amount.
The firm, said Mr.. Keogh, has secured
new quarters and will continue business
without interruption, but under adverse
circumstances.
