Extra Session of Congress.


An extra session of the Fifty-first con-
gress to meet in October, is prophesied.
The Republican and Democratic parties
are so evenly balanced that there will be
a hot fight in the organization of the
house. The present official majority, ac-
cording to election certificates issued, is
only three. The four new states will hold
elections in October. This will bring in
five new members. The Republicans ex-
pect to elect all these, but the Democrats
are also confident of securing the mem
Der from Montana, which went Demo
cratic in the recent election there.
The next house will contain 325 m0zn-
bers, including those from the new states.
If the Republicans elect all five of the
new members the party will have ma
jority of only eight. Death or accident
can easily cut off oneor more members of
either party, even now, before the meet
ing of the house.
There is so much able material for the
speakership that this promises to be a
difficult matter to settle. There will be a
fierce fight over the rules, hinging on
the question of how much power the
minority party shall have to obstruct
legislation, tilibustering, as it is called.
Each new house of representatives makes
its own rules. The minority party has
had wide latitude to filibuster in the last
two congresses. The Republicans will
endeavor to change this. They say that
five changes in the rules that governed
the Fiftieth congress will accomplish it.
On the other hand the Democrats will
oppose these changes with all the force
and persistence at their command. So
that even if the session is called in Oc-
tober, it will merely give opportunity for
the house to get a good ready for Decem-
Der. However the country at large may
view it, the contest will be watched with
profound interest by parliamentarians
all over the world. 1t will certainly be
a pretty fight. A Democratic senator
says:
| think that parliamentary struggle such as
we have seldom witnessed win begin the moment
almost that the house comes together. If we
begin in October, are pretty certain to be in
continuous session until August again 1t viii be
a congress of partisan bitterness from the start.

ABOUT YELLOW FEVER.

There are signs of the times which
should arrest the attention of the thought
ful people of ten States Of the Union. 1t
is useless to discuss the tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee of the origin of the yellow
fever in Florida in 1887 and 1888.
Whether it came by sail vessels or in
freight steamers is immaterial-the dis
tressing fact remains that the home of
yellow fever is Cuba. and its fatal resi-
dence is the city of Havana.
The yellow fever brought from there in
1887 fingered through the entire winter,
and fuel being added to the smouldering
fires in South Florida, the beautiful city
of Jacksonville was scourged with fatal
results, and other points were smitten
with the deadly pestilence.
The splendid vestibuled trains going
South are said to be never full this sea-
son. Some pass down nearly empty.
The hotels in Florida, the true barometers
of travel, tell the same story Of lack of
visitors and failure of business. Even at
Thomasville, Ga, it is not a prosperous
season. AT Aiken it is reported a good
season, but not crowded.
In few days the last winter month
will have passed, and the first one of
spring be upon us. And yet the ques-
tion of all questions for the people OF ten
States is ignored. In three months the
first summer month will come i'll the pro-
cess of the seasons.

Until negro and carpet.bag rule shall
be re-establshed at the South "that Sec
ton has no right to hope that Northern
capital or Northern enterprise can be at
tracted," says the Tribune. During the
last three years, under Democratic rule at
the South and in the nation, there were
organized in that section, according to the
Manufacturers Record, the following
number of new enterprises: In 1886,
1875; in 1887, $3.50; in 1888, s,61s.
These called for the employment of hun
dreds of millions of capital, a large part
of which came from the North, says the
New York World. The South has grown
nightly and soundly ever since the cor
rupt travesties of government under Re-
publican rule were overthrown.

other day that she never fully realized what

work., said she, "but now that Miss Bowler

various other little things, and have all the

all love her devotedly. This school is really
big play room, but all the games are so planned
that the minds of the little ones are enlarged and
developed, they learn important lessons in one
game that whole week of book study would
not impress upon them, and, most important of
all, they are happy, joyous, gay and learn rap
idly.

THE OLD HOME.

In the quiet shadows Of twilight
stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old, old homestead,
SO cherished and loved of yore.
But thei ivy now is twining
Unframed DER window and wall:
And no more the voice Of the children
Is echoing through the hall
Through years of pain and sorrow
Since first had TO part,
The thought of the dear old homestead
has fingered around my heart;
The porch embowered with roses.
The gables dropping caves
And the song of the bird at twilight
Amid the orchard leaves,
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the dusky windows
Through vision dimmed with tears.
l hear the voices calling
From the shadowy far away,
And stretch my arms toward them
In the gloom of the twilight gray
But only the night winds answer,
AS cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes swooping
From the darkness of it's lair.
fet still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away,
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray

We learn that business interests in
South Florida demand daily intercourse
with Cuban ports. We also learn that
the broad farce Of quarantine by sea at
Wilmington, Georgetown, Charleston,
Port Royal, Savannah, Brunswick, Fer
nandina and Jacksonville on the Atlantic,
and at Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans
and Galveston on the Gulf, is to be re-
enacted but Tampa Bay is to be an open
port as heretofore.
We further learn that passengers and
baggage are to be landed from tropical
Cuba. during the hot months, in twenty
hours at Tampa, in thirty three hours at
Savannah, in thirty-six hours in Charles
ton-that is, in day and half from the
pestilence in Havana to Charleston.
We still further learn that it is claimed
that there is no risk in this whatever.
We venture then to inquire why any
quarantine anywhere? Why lock the
ports from May to November and leave
the ports in South Florida, on the Gulf,
open doors for the entrance and distribu-
ton of the fatal malady?
It is gloomy outlook for the people in
ten States, unless public opinion can be
aroused and the warnings OF the past be
needed.
We are not alarmists; We have seen
yellow fever in its worst forms we per-
sonally do not fear it. But the worst Ca
lamity that can befall people is the DESC
lation which befell Jacksonville last year,
and which scourged Memphis some years
ago.
Yellow fever IS an importation from
Cuba; shall the South consent to the i'm
portation? If so. public notice should be
given, and no quarantine enforced any
where. The Southern press should speak
out and at once, and control this situa-
tion.

THE CAPTAIN FOUND HIS TONGUE FIRST Not for long did their position remain thus; both were too much worked up for that. The Captain found his tongue first.

To you owe all the suffering of my life Not content with tho past, whereby you separated me so long from my father, you must needs como back and finish the work; but, thank God have found you out.

Oh, that I could open Heavens flood-gates of wrath, and pour upon your sinful head at once all the judgments laid up in store for you. They would sink you deeper than if mill stone were hanged about your neck. Villain, you arc unmasked; hencefor- ward you are powerless to harm any one, and, sooner than you suspect, the iron hands of tho law will close upon your throat with a death grip, and choke your accursed life out, oven as I could do now"
 In his excitement Roger took . step forward, as though about to carry his words into execution, his eyes blazing, his hands extended; and the other started back with cry, his face almost growing black.

 It was indeed a dramatic sight to see the positions of those two men, Roger with his body advanced, one hand raised threateningly, and his face full of the fires of indignation and anger, while the Captain started back, holding out his hands as though involuntarily warding off the others attack, and his face full of consternation, not at the immediate prospect of exposure, but what might be In the near future.
