question is likely TO be vigorously
ogitated in the next congress, with some
probability that the members OF the
succeeding congress will get an increase
of salary. Perhaps the best plan would
be to reduce the membership OF the
house to such an extent that reason
able addition to the compensation would
not materially increase the cost Of con-
gress to the country. There are many
who think that the house would be inn
proved by having its membership re-
duced.

ONE OF the most disgraceful features
OF the last hours of the legislature was
the desperate efforts made by repre-
sentatives Of state institutions to raid
the state treasury for large appropria-
tions. Superintendents of various
charitable institutions, principals OF
schools ana other public servants We'd
with each other in being early on the
ground, importuuing members and en-
terlug into questionable combines in
order to secure larger slice of the
appropriation loaf. Men Of this stamp
who neglect the duties to which they
we're appointed and for which the
state employs them, IN order to lobby
and log-roll their pet schemes through
the legislature are unfit for the posi-
tions they hold.

REGARDING AN EXTRA SESSION.
The special session of the senate Is

The special session of the senate Is
expected to adjourn next week. Re-
garding an extra session OF congress,
the impression is general that one will
not be called, or at any rate not sooner
than October. The territorial question
having been disposed of by the last con-
gress, the only thing remaining to fur
nish reason for. an extra session was
the surplus problem. 1t is the opinion
OF Senator Allison, and doubtless OF 9TH
ers who will have influence with the
administration that the situation with
respect to the surplus will give no occa-
sion for an extra session. The appro-
priations for the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July l, are large. and If these
are expended, says Senator Allison, as
1T is reasonable TO suppose that most OF
them will be, the apprehended surplus
will be much diminished. Stating the
excess OF revenues over expenditures
for the current fiscal year at twenty
million dollars, aud the excess for the
next fiscal year at forty-tive million
| dollars, of which nearly one-half the
| latter sum will be accumulated by Janu-
| airy /, 1890, Senator Allison says the
problem for the secretary of the treas
| ury to solve, in case congress should not
be called in extra session, will be how
he can dispose of twenty-three mil
| lion dollars In excess. In the opinion
| OF Mr.. Allison it will not be difficult
thing to purchase bonds covering this
entire surplus, while as to the existing
| a. IL l. l. II
for some years, 1T would not be affected
by legislation now or at any future time,
as any readjustment OF taxation must
take place with reference to current
revenues and current expenditures,
without considering those accumula-
tions.
Senator Allison observes that an extra
session of congress in the beginning of
new administration is not desirable
in the public interest, unless great
necessity for it appear, and he does not
find ssch necessity in the present situa-
tion of affairs. He suggests that if con-
gress were convened about the middle
or last of October it could remain in
continuous session and take up seriously
and earnestly the whole question of the
reduction OF taxation. An extra session
in October would give time for the or
ganization Of the house and the com
mittees of the house, and thus put in
course OF early preparation those reve-
nue. measures which could be con-
sidered and completed, under these
conditions, by April of next year. He
regards 1T as doubtful whether any
progress could be made by calling
an extra session during the present
spring and taking the risk of long
session during the summer without any
practical result. Doubtless Senator
Allison reflects the general sentiment
in this matter of the republicans in
both branches of congress, and very
likely that of the president and secre
tary of the treasury also. With regard
to public opinion, it can always be safe
ly counted upon not to favor an extra
session of congress unless there Is 6
most urgent reason for it. Under ex
listing conditions doubtless all interests
will be best subserved il the admins.

Sow the Element of "DOubt" Lsaas rS
 Grand ievements.

The world is agitated again over the question of wke was the author of Shake. Speare's plays.
 The world is full of doubting Thomas. @.
 The man who has been successful iL exciting tine present momentary interest in the subject is, like most successful agi' tators, an Irishman. He claims to have discovered cipher running through the Shakes pearian plays which proves them to have been written by Lord Bacon. Ii is also claimed that there is cipher in the epitaph on the moss-grown tomb stone, which, properly interpreted, leads to the same conclusion. This age shows a decided inclination to pry into mysteries.
 1t can make no difference to Shakes. peare now whether the world believes he wrote the plays that bear his name or not.
 The plays are immortal.
 Ignatius Donneliy cannot rob us 0i these grand works, evepthough he should succeed in robbing Shakespeare of his glory.
 Were it not for doubting Thomases many of mans great accomplishments would never have been brought to suc' cessful issue.
 Men have been stricken down without warning. Doubt put in motion the in. vestigation which ascertained the cause. After the discovery of the cause, the world was ignorant of any remedy with which to stay the terrible slaughtes of humanity, and medical science said it was impossible. Rt | led tLe way to the light, and Warmers ,.de cure solved the seemingly unsOlvable problem. lte friends tell us with conclusive proof that the unsuspected kidney disease befouls the bloodand causes most of our diseases
 For years the heart was looked upon as the most important organ in the body, but doubt led to further inquiry, which developed the fact that the kidneys are the real blood-puritiers of the system and these organs now attract the first attention of the careful practitioner. l, is now Q recognized fact that ii they are put in healthy state by the use of that remedy possessing such wonderful cura' tive and cleansing powers most of the prevailing diseases of the system will be easily overcome, since their cause will be removed.
 How unimportant, in comparison with such problems, is the present discussion ss po ine authorship of Shakespeare!
