the thought of the food of francs which the
Exposition will turn into their tills.
1t is not the Republic that is in peril, but
the Exposition. Patriotism of a conserva-
tive kind is in order in France to-day. Till
the Exposition is over, politics must take a
back seat After the Exposition the de-
luge, if you please. Then the oppressed
can rise against their oppressors; then the
war of revenge can proceed to the tune of
the Boulanger March. Just now the world
will kindly take notice that France is in
the Exposition business, and all she wants
is good, cold cash. Glory, patriotism, re-
venge, and the rest of the grand ideas can
keep company with the Gallo eagle in a
secluded spot, until after business hours.

UNIoNTowN, February 2O.-Bridgeport has
the honor of electing the first woman to office
in Fayette county. She is Miss Irene Bar, a
popular young lady who was elected to the
school board on the Democratic ticket, al
though Bridgeport is a stronghold of Repub-

The full count of the borough elections in
Uniontown shows that the Republicans elect
Edward Chick in the First and Jacob Onsell in
the Fourth wards for Council, while the Demo-
Gratis elect M. K. Frankenberry in the Second
and w. G. Mccormick in the Fourth wards.
TINS evenly divides the next Town Council be-

the borough $4,000 to improve the streets was
badly downed, the vote standing 40 to 98. In
some of the wards the people quit voting on
this question at noon, knowing it was defeated,

IN ITS DEATH THROES.

The Fftieth Congress on Its Last Legs
All-Night Sessions to be HeId-The
Presidents Little Veto Republican
Tariff Policy.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
WASHINGTON, February 20-Though Con-
gress may be said to be in its last days, and
there is mass Of important legislation that
should be enacted, there is no attempt at haste
on the part of the majority, but rather the re-
verse. The postofice appropriation bill has oc-
cupied days longer than was necessary, and
after that there is the Indian appropriation bill
and the general deficiency bill, the latter in
variably consuminga good deal of time in its
consideration.
AS there are practically only eight days re-
manning OF the session, Friday being holiday,
1t is plain that there will have to be some long
night vigils to get through with the necessary
work, to say nothing of important legislation
which cannot be touched. The members look
forward to all-night sessions the latter part of
next week and an all-day session on Sunday.

His Little Pocket Veto,

The direct tax bill and the Territorial bill
were both disposed of to-day with hurrah,
the Republicans getting practically what they
wanted in both measures. 1t is said that the
President will veto the former and possibly the
latter by pocket Veto" that is, by holding
until after the close of Congress, partly be-
cause they are Objectionable to him and partly
in revenge for the conduct of the Senate in re-
fusing to confirm or act in any way upon some
QUO nominations which are before it, some of
them having been there for weeks and some
for months. 1t is known that the President
has expressed himself as opposed to both the
bills and it is believed that in his hands they
will die the death.
While Mills and his friends declare that they
will attempt to call up their substitute for the
Senate substitute for the original tariff bill,
they are allowing the time to slip away without
doing SO, and it is now general opinion that
there will be no further tariff legislation this
session.

But the Relations Kick and Will Fight in

CHICAGO, February 20.-The will of the late
Charles ]. Hull, a wealthy landlord, worth
hundreds of thousands, was offered for pro-
bate to-day. 1t was a document filing scarcely
one-half of legal cap. but it disposed of prop

The authorities who are certifying to the
Legislature that oleomargarine is all right,
if sold for what it really is, are stating the
truth correctly enough, no doubt, but they
mistake the issue. When oleomargarine is
manufactured to be sold for what it really
is, it will be easy to secure change in the
legislation affecting it. So long as it is got
up for the express purpose of sale under
false pretenses, the public will not be par
ticularly anxious for change.

Afraid of the Cowles Bill,

The sluggish movements of the leaders of the
majority in the House are explained by the de-
sire OF Mills and his colleagues of the free
trade faith to prevent, if possible, the consider
alton OF the Cowles bill for the abolition of the
tobacco tax, which is in charge of Mr.. Randall.
and will be called up the first opportunity.
Randall is very anxious to have this bill con-
sldered, but doesn't desire to antagonize ap-
preparation bills for that purpose. If he ever
succeeds in getting it before the House there
will be no nonsense about its consideration, as
he will speedily force it to a vote. This is what
is feared by the Mills faction, and so they pre-
fer to lei. their own revenue bills go by the
board and keep dallying over appropriation
bills to the last moment rather than give op-
portunity for consideration of the Cowles bill.

California and the Cabinet.

Nbw that it looks as though President Har-
rison had decided on nearly every member of
his Cabinet, and that the position of Secretary
of Agriculture is in more doubt than any other,
Californians are making long and strong pull
to secure that place. Swift and Estee are the
two persons named, either of which would be
acceptable to the Pacific coast, and belief is
growing that the President-elect will recognize
the claims of a section which responded so
unanimously to the demands of the Republican
party.

EVERY new warship is called "the pride
Of the navy" which indicates mistake
as to the proper objects of pride. The pride
of the navy should be the old warships that
have accomplished great deeds. Until the
new vessels have done something equal to
the passage of the forts at New Orleans and
the destruction of the Alabama, the real
pride OF the navy is located in the worn-out
timbers of the Hartford and Kearsarge.

AN ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE SEASON.
SPRING FANcIEs.

SPRING FANcIEs.
The Young Nan.
In the spring the youth his person in the latest
fashions decks,
And begins to cast admiring glances on the other
eek;
In the spring nameless yearning, something that
he cannot trace,
Comes upon him when he meets a maiden with
pretty face;
And the fluttsring of ribbon, or the perfume Of
glove
Thrills bis pulses, and his "fancy lightly turns to
thoughts oflove.'
The Young Woman
In the spring the maiden dofs the glossy sealskin
sacque she wore.
Which enables her to don a bigger hustle than
before.
Then she puts on lighter garments, snowy laces.
And a gorgeous hat the climax caps of her new
spring array.
ALI the secrets of the toilet uses with woman's
skill,
For her heart, too, is responsive to the seasons
Both.
Soon some strange mysterious process brings to-
gether youth and maid;
There are meetings in the moonlight, there are
whisperings in the shade,
Wanderings in secluded places, often TILL the hour
is late,
Loving glsnces, sweet confessions, stolen kisses
at the gate,
Petty quarrels, over nothing, that with misery
fill life's cup,
Pride's surrender. explanations and delicious
makings up.
When the tender grass is springlng and the OPEN
ing buds appear.
When the birds gaily singing, and the skies
are blue and clear,
Thus its course in spring love runneth, culminat-
ing In the May,
With parental blessings and the naming OF the
wedding day. -RostoB Courier.
