the day, and all the bells must
strike in unison. At noon Congress has Its
birth and at noon it expires. 1t is only on ex-
traordinary occasions. like the present. when
Congress is hardly its natural self, that II
meets from day to day at any other hour. All
committees. unless they have received some
special dispensation. cease to have power to act
as committees when the clock on the mantle
strikes twelve. Action taken after that would
have no binding force. Therefore. the official
clock. whose statement as to the hour cannot
be disputed. Is on the mantel in each OF the
hundreds of committee rooms.
The clock enters very largely into legislative
business. Besides starting the House and SEN
ate on their daily course and ending the pow
ers of committees. it measures off the allotted
portions OF time for bills whose fate depend
upon the use of the moments to its credit and
1t cuts congressional eloquence into sections
varying in length from one minute to sixty.

One OF the handsomest little clocks in the
building is one of rather plain design, made of
bronze and alabaster. which gives the time to
the toilers in the House file room. The only
ornamentation consists of two scrolls of bronze
enveloping the lower corners, a low scrool
work base on which the aabaster rests. and
small equestrian figure on the top. which is a
plane. There is something about the outline and
architectural proportion of the piece which
gives II peculiar artistic beauty. 1t is seldom
any one comes into the room without having
his attention attracted to that clock. Once
some one took such an interest in il that il was

EsEIEeEs ENT&TEVEs

The fifty-firSt Congress is the ii st
Congress IN the second century of
our republic as an independent
government. The great national
council of the United States has
made a history. THIS history is of
great interest to every iIee voter in
the nation, The present acts Of
the Senators and Representatives
are also interesting to the people
But perhaps many of the sovereign
voters of the land have not for once
thought of tie difference in the
relation they bear towards Senators
and Representatives. The differs
ence IS this: The voter casts his
own ballot at the ballot box for his
Representative in Congress, while
his vote IS cast by proxy in the
State Legislature for his Senator.

WHAT'S CONGRESS DOING:

Thus far the present Congress has
done about what the old feS1' S
humming- bird weighed-"poInt
blank nothing" Whist will be
done with the great issues before
that body?" is the question SO often
asked. l. might be changed ! TO
What will be dOae with the great
issue before that body?" To any
one who has kept in the trend OF
politics for the last four years, 1t
is no new revelation to say that the
Tariff is the question Of the national
politics Of America today. There
may be, and are, other important
questions before our nations cOur cI,
but the Tariff is the issue preeminent
above all other issues. 1t is the
question on which Grover Cleveland
made a record oc which any Chief
Magistrate might well be pond. 1t
Is to be regretted that he did not
force the issue earlier ia his ad-
mini>tration.
AS to what the present Congress
will do with the tariff, it is the
opinion Of the thinking democrats
that practically nothing will be done.
Doubtless a great deal Of tinkerinp
will be carried on now and then, but
we look for no real permanent work
or decided stand IN the matter. The
desire to pander to the
feelings Of wcak-knet1 democrats
ana others, and so they will promise,
no doubt, now and then reduction
of the Tariff; but IN cur opinion the
Tork in the reduction OF
the Tariff will not be done until
Harrison's term expires. Then after
1892, we can begin TO
hope again for something to be done
under a new democrat admins ira,
ton. Tie republicans 90 not wis.,
to luce the Tariff aad they will
not do It.

NEW SEED.

It is generally admitted that the
cotton seei made in 1850 are very
much Inferior to those of former
years. This being true would i not
be wise for the farmers TO procure
other seed from locality where the
cro,,s were excellent? There is no
need to buy fancy o. pefigrae seed,
but healthy seed from healthy cotton.
To the So,Hdcruer it seems that
hard times" should not stand in
the way because the seasons for
1890 may be Eropitlous for la7ge
crop and our inferior seed may
materially reduce tie yield here.
"Harl times" or no "hs7d times
our people can not afford TO risk The
seed they made.
Besides, the outlay will not be
much. Good cotton seed can be had
for twenty or twenty-five cents 4

the OIL mills for eighteen cents, Tue

The old adage, "a green Christ
mas makes a fat churchyard ,"
which people are accustomed to
sncer at, is being verified in an
alarming manner. The number of
deaths in this city last week was
double that Of the corresponding
period last year, OF 1G4 which
occurred within twentyfour hours,
fifty-six were caused by pneumonia,
twenty-fOur consumption and TWEEN
ty by bronchitis. In great num-
Der of cases the victim began with
an attack of the grip, and gradua~
ted from it into one of the fatal
forms of throat or lung trouble. In
many other cases the European

grave People who have saeered at
the idea that New York was under
siege from the Russian influenza or
the French la Grippe" and jnsis-
ted that people might be having
colds In the head, but no "fancy
disease, are growing more respect
full and more careful. The fact is
there is hardly a family in the city
but has been attacked By it.

The world appreciates most things
too late-fslI to discover the good
in a man till he is beyond help. On
the day of the burial Of Henry W .
Grady the citizens Of Atlanta by
voluntary contributions, raised a
mortgage that was on his home.
Yet, had he lived, and been deserv>
Ing Of all TIL man could he, it is
very likely that his fellow-men would
have seen him sunk into wretched
poverty without q single effort TO re-
lieve him.
While such actions are noble and
commend2ble it would be better to
give some Of that help while the
man lives. Having to pass through
trying ordeals simply to have some>
thing good said after they are gone
is the common lot of too many

The Government at Washington
is Republican. 1t represents no:
the ideas and traditions Of the
American people, but the interests
and privileges Of & plutocTacy. 1t
is not ii sympathy with popular as

ization Of the power of government
and the erection Of social classes

1he pcrpctuitY Of our institutions,

There should be no Federal inter

notwithstanding the white race
EaI been the most progressive known
to history; notwithstanding they
have been entirely fEea since their
original settlement in the wilder

among our white people here in
North Carolina much poverty, much
illiteracy, much backwardness in the
progressive ways Of the world.
After a contemplation Of that pic>
ture, when we turn to the negro race,
that was never progressive in like
measure with the Anglo Saxon, we
realize that It will be many genera
tons, many centuries, before It will
approximate the enlightened and
civilized condition of their white
neighbors. But yet they are max
ing progress and eventually will
doubtless attain a higher relative
position than they now occupy

ence of a Chicago Mail reporter. II

other day, and it was awful cold. Twas

Ter. A moment later man clad in
shiny black broadcloth strobe into the
place. His feet were encased in pair
of immense cowhide boots, from the
leg of one of which protruded razor,
butchers cleaver and club, and from
the other the half of q scythe blade and
another club. ~

The Tiger Plague in Java.

According to the administration re-
port of Java recently laid before the
Dutch Chambers, portions of that
island are depopulated through tigers.
In 1882 the population of the village
in the southwest of the Bantam prov
ince was removed and transferred to an
island off the coast in consequence Of
the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now be-
come an intolerable pest in parts of the
same province. The total population
is about 600, 900, and in 1887 sixty-one
were killed by tigers, and in conse-
quence of the dread existing among the
people it has been proposed to deport
the inhabitants of the villages most
threatened to other parts Of the country
where tigers are not so common, and
where they can pursue their agricul-
tural occupations with a greater degree
of security. At present they fear to 60
anywhere near the borders Of the for
est. The people at present seem disin-
clined or they lack the means and cour-
age, to attack and destroy their enemy,
although considerable rewards are
offered by government for the destruc-
tion of beasts of pray. In 1883 the
reward for killing royal tiger was
raised to 200 fiorins. It appears also
that the immunity of the tiger is in
Fart due to superstition, for il is con-
sidered wrong to kill one unless he at
tacks first or otherwise does injury.
Moreover, guns were always very rare
in this particular district, aud, since q
rising few years ago, have been taken
away by the authorities.
