Work of the Next Con -rcss.

If the Iifty-first congress performs its
tasks faithfully, it will be one of the
most important and useful bodies since
reconstruction days.
First, there will be an unusual number
Of contested election cases. They will
occupy considerable time and members
will have opportunity to cxpend the
wind of their cloquence on them, SO that
they may afterwards settle down to the
| hard pan Of business. After the election
cases there will be made powerful eff
fort by those interested to get congress to
substitute lines of South American steam
ars Much viii be heard, and that for
weeks about the vital Importance Of de
veloping our trade with South America
| That no one denies, since our states have
traded with themselves till they are fully
supplied with goods of domestic manu-
facture, and a foreign outlet must be
sought The question to be decided is:
Should that outlet be obtained 10y the CO.
operation of private capitalists or by
subsidies from congress?
The Behring sea seal fisheries diff
Guilty cannot be longer STAYED off, and
congress must take hold of that and
make arrangements to settle just what
waters are embraced in American juris-
diction. The Samoan treaty will require
to be ratified or rejected by the senate.
Then there are those three perennial
blossoms on the congressional docket
the pension list, the tariff and the sur
plus. As to the surplus, there will not
be so much Of it as there was, no longer
enough to be bowling menace to the
further continuance of the nation. The
last congress towards its close increased
largely the appropriations for next year,
as was rendered necessary, and these
will probably he made still greater.
The pension list will be revised and
classified. Regarding the tariff, prom
inent Republican says that his party las
pledged itself to revise the revenue
duties, and is therefore bound to do so.
4 bill is promised to be introduced in
favor of penny postage" by some one
who overlooks the fact that we already
have penny postage. 1t would be half
penny postage if letters were to be car
ried through the mails for one cent. IS

1t was Il surprise to us TO find, upon
examination, the great eXranSe OF
western territory nearer to Superior
than to Chicago. 1t appears that
Omaha is twenty-five miles nearer to
Superior than it is to Chicago. Since
freIgEts are landed at the head Of the
lakes just as cheap as they are at the
head Of lake Michigan, the most skep-
ticll must acknowledge the superiority
OF the geographical location OF this
northern city. Superior has already
seven lines OF railway and is said To
command twelve thousand miles of
railroad tr&Ckage. Superior can never

gsDyToIyAL EXCURSION.

ADeTdeen kDuk-1 hPI'S'll'
The recent trip Of the Dakota Press.
Association Wa5 a pleasant and profit
able one The splendid arrangements
made by Secretary Schlosser for the
excursion were carried out. We
would bs glad had we the space to give
a full account af the annual meeting
Of the association, including the excur-
sion, from the time the members
gathered at WatertoWn until the VIII
ter left the party at st. Paul. The
kindness Of the officials Of the several
railroads over which the excursion
passed, the royal reception rendered
the members of the association at
every point where a stop was made,
tn beauty of Lake Kampeska or the
wonders of the great water power and
mammoth locke Of Sault Ste. Marie
are worthy Of more extended notice
than we can give them. The great
point of interest to every person i'll this
part was the cities at the head of Lake
Superior, viz: Duluth and Superior. To
Dakota with her vast plains WhereOn
wheat by the millions Of bushels is al
ready grown, the question of "a ready
market easily reached is Of vital i'm
p0rtance. y glance at the map VIII
show at once that the natural outlet
for the produce of the Northwest is
through Lake Superior. Duluth,
already famous, is but one of the two
cities that are planted where the 81.
Louis river empties its water into the
great lake Situated on the west side
Of the river at the foot of and partially
upon the side of beautiful line of
hills, Duluth faces the city OF Superior,
which, on the east or Wisconsin side
Of the river, occupies a position that
eXcites the wonder of al who look up
on the scene. Lying upon almost
level ground with a great natural har-
Dor, tWO-thiTds Of which belongs to her,
the future Of the city Of Superior is a
grand one Were it not that the river
dividing Duluth and Superior is a state
line, the two would soon be one. As
it is the interests are identical While
the word 'Duluth" is more familiar
to the ears Of the people of Dakota,
those Of lis WHO have had The privilege
Of seeing the tyyo VIII always rcmem-
Der Superior when we hear Duluth
spoken Of, or vice versa. The great
business that has already come ana
VIII increase so as to insure success
to these places on account of their
location. AS a point OF export Or i'm
port for the Northwest, is but a part
of what is theirs. The forests and
mines that are also tributary to these
fortunate cities are already showing
their influence by locating extensive
iron and steel works at these points
which viii employ hundreds of men
and in the near future thousands.
The railroads Of Dakota in the future
should be built with the object Of
bringing the head Of Lake Superior as
near Our people as possible; for to the
Northwest, Duluth and Superior VIII
be what Chicago is to the country
tributary to that city.

Some of the city clubs are graphing in
practical fashion with the growing and
detestable custom Of tipping walters and
servants. They pay the servants far
wages, and then make it an offense
against the club TO offer them anything
further. This tipping business is an evil
that ought to be taken by the neck and
strangled here and now, Slavery and
foreign walters have made it possible in
America Let employers who have any
self respect forbid the custom on their
premises. Let those who do not want to
see this country like Europe, where one
must fee swarm of beggars every step
he takes, be warned, and stop tipping,

Congressman COX BEAD.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O-Hon Samuel

esening Mr.. Cox was conscious up
TO half an hour before his death. He
then failed to recognize those around

Just before losing consciousness. The

Mr.. Cox was better known, of late
years, by the nickname of Sunset"
Cox. 1t was but a few days ago that
Ne read the explanation of how this
nickname of Sunset" came to be
applied to him 1t was brought about

sunset which he witnessed in 1888.
Recently some one publIcally asked for
an explanation of the aprellton, and
the Brooklyn Eagle gives this answer,
and as it is one of his most beautiful
and eloquent utterances, it is very
appropriate to reproduce it here. Che
/ Eagle says:
The foundation for the byname of

appcII1tion is complimentary. In the
