THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
ofthe House OF Representatives-Im-
Winter Session.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-As members-elect
of the Fifty.frst Congress reach the city gos-
sip regarding the organization of the House
of Representatives naturally increases. The
now here indicate that the speakership will
go either TO Maine (Mr. Reed) or Ohio (Mr.
Mckinley. Messrs. Burroughs of Michigan
and Cannon of Illinois are both ON the
ground, however, and, it is said, will at least
make the contest interesting before balloting
begins. Major John M. Carson, of the Phila-
delphia Ledgar, appears to have already caps
tured the next clerkship of the House. His
friends claim that he has pledges sufficient
| to elect on the first ballot. Colonel Swords
appears to have no rival for the position of
sergeant-a at arms, while there are several can

postmaster.

sentatives in Washington now, but most Of
those here expect very Interesting and busy

Senator Dolph thinks Congress will tax
no backward step on Interstate law or civi

civil service law, he thinks, will probably;b

the contested election cases and Independent

that the tariff will be revised and the servic
of the revenue diminished. Some measur

FUTURE POPULATIONS.

The approach of the time for the de-
cennial census gives rise to much spec
ulation as to the future numbers in this
country. The computations for 1890
generally agree pretty well upon total
not very far from 65.OOO.0O0. There is
no trouble about crowding for number
of decades yet. but when the per
eentnm of the past century is run along
100 years and the total is the enormous
figure of LOG, 562, 24S. or about the
present supposed population of the
globe, there is chance to speculate.
Then look ahead 400 years more, and
the figures will stretch out beyond all
power of comprehension. Why should
any very marked check be had in this
development? Big wars and occasional
epidemics hardly make ripples in the
swelling volume. There is too much
sanitary science and growing knowl-
edge of the methods of preserving
health and life to presume that any sort
of maladies will stop the tide. The
figures prove that this country will be
packed with people like sardines in a
box in few hundred years. 1t fills US
with dire alarm. A jam is always an
moving.

EDUCATIONAL REFORM.

At a recent gathering of Indiana
teachers, probably mostly ladies,
higher moral standard was resolved
upon-not, however, upon the assump-
ton that the Indiana one, outside of
class of politics, was below the general
average. These educational reformers
resolved properly that the regenerative
work should begin in their own camp,
and that the high and imperative need
was course of instruction upon the
evil effects of three female elements of
eception-coSmeticS. the hustle, and
the corset. 1t is easy to applaud their
efforts. Cosmetics are temporary eX-
pedients that are harmful and per-
nieious in their outcome. The hustle is
being discarded in all cultured quarters.
Bustie factories are going out of business
in the East. 1t is deformity that can
only be defended in slippery times;
still, it will have to go with the more
fragrant gum-chewing. The corset has
the most promise Of continued career,
but its fate may be left in the hands of
the ladies. 1t is encouraging that In
diana ladies. young unmarried ladies no
doubt, are resolving against deception
in eQuipment.

SUPERVISING CRANKIsM

A correspondent whose feelings have
been outraged by reading in the daily
press the reports of the reckless sacri-
flee of human life by the faith-cure
practitioners, and of the deeeits that are
practiced upon guileless humanity by
the spiritualistS, wants to know ''why
the newspapers, the recognized leaders
of public opinion, do not unite in de-
mand for the legal suppression of
cranks and crankism of the variety re-
ferred to?" Our correspondent loses
sight of the fact that there is already a
law which prohibits any one from prac-
ticing the healing art who is not a grad
uate of some medical school of repute,
and who does not hold certificate from
the duly constituted board of medical eX-
aminers. Further than this the law can
not go in protecting the public against
cranks of the quaek variety. The
only complaint that we have heard of
an abuse of spiritualism to the public
hurt vas the one recently lodge d against
a Michigan medium, who was arrested
on charge of using the United States
mails for the accommodation of the in
habitants of another world-a complaint
that will probably fall through the sheer
force of its own righteousness. There
are some things overlooked by modern
reformers who want to apply legislation
as the sovereign remedy for all the ills
of society, TO which we direct their at
tention. In the first place, it is the in
herent constitutional right of every
American citizen to make fool of him.
self if he wants to; and there is no
power in the legislature to prevent him.
If free-born American citizen wants
to hold communication with the spirits
who inhabit an invisible world, and
avails himself of the United States
postal service as the means of
communication, there can be no objec-
ton so long as he pays the lawful rate
of pOstate. If another person has more
faith in prayers than in drugs, the con-
stitution cannot be stretched to limit
that persons conscience. The most the
law can do is to say that the prayer
peddleT shall not follow his trade; it
cannot prohibit the patient from taking
his medicine, so long as it comes with
out money and without price. The fact
is, the American people will make fools
of themselves. if they have to evade the
laws to accomplish it; so there is no use
in attempting to legislate against cranls
or crankiSm,

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-Henry d. Lloyd,
of this city. who has just returned from
a visit to Spring Valley, ILL.,, where he

Children would frequently fall asleep
at their desks from weakness. But so sturdy

almost impossible for their teacher to obtain
from them any acknowledgment that they
did not get enough TO eat at home. Children
who were Enthusiastically suffering tor want OF
nourishment would even refuse food when

particular harm in their gathering to
