eighty persons have expressed a desire

We be converted, and become rs little

Kingdom of Heaven"
He set forth thc Methodist doctrine
of conversion, and supported 1t with
abuudan; scriptural quotations; showed

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

In the house of representatives
Of the fifty-second congress the
democrats and alliance men will
have majority, as appears from
the returns now in, of about one
hundred and thirty. The relative
strength of these two parties can
not yet be accurately stated, but
undoubtedly the democrats will
have a clear working majority, so
that they will control the organiza-
tion of the house and be able to
pass all measures of partisan legis-
lation. Democratic gains have
been made in nearly every repub-
lican state: the losses of that party
have been chiefly in the south,
where democrats have been sue
ceeded by alliance men. Among
the northern states the alliance
movement in Kansas and Nebras-
ka was the most successful in retir-
ing republican representatives.
The alliance representation in
the next congress may number
fifty, but it will be powerless to
accomplish anything. The demo
Gratis will not need its assistance
and it could gain nothing by unit
ing with the republicans. 1t will
not hold the balance Of power, but
will be merely an isolated conting
ent that must beg for whatever it
desires from the democratic major
ity, Very likely that party will
be disposed to comply with some
of it's demands, but that will be to
no purpose unless they are accept
able to republican senate. It is
to be expected that the democrats
will seek to win the favor of re-
publican alliance men in the north
and to remove the hostility Of dem
ocratic alliance in the south, but
their efforts to do this can avail
nothing without republican ap-
proval.
The republican party will be III
a smaller minority in the popular
branch Of the next congress than
it has been since the party came
into power, but however much re-
publicans may regret this fact it
involves no menace to the public
interests OF to those policies which
the large majority Of republicans
desire to have preserved. The
safeguard Of these is in republi-
can president whose term will be
co-extensive with the democratic
house Of representatives just elect
ed and in republican senate that
will continue several years longer.

HENRY GEORGE says it was his
single tax theory that did the busi-
ness of the republican party at the
recent election. Well, Henry
knows about as little about the
reason" as the rest Of 'em. II he
should visit Nebraska however he
would find out that the sixty or
seventy thousand farmers that
knocked out things politically,wer
not worrying themselves in favor
of a single tax on land, but wanted
to tax the other fellow sufficiently
to lend each former all the money
he wanted at 1 per cent. and take
mortgage for security, So the
world goes. One mans theory
doesn't explain all creation very
often, though he may never find it
out.-State Journal.
The McCook tribune., 1890-11-14

KANSAS is one of the few states
in the Union in which the Demo-
Gratis failed to make large gains in
the recent election. Robinson's
total vote will probably not exceed
10000. Before the election the
Democrats claimed from 10000 to
10000 Republican resubmission
votes. If they gained even 1O,-
600 from the opposition that would
leave a Democratic vote of only
10000. In 1886 the Democrats
polled 115,000 votes in Kansas.
In 1888 their vote fell to 1O3, 900,
and this year their ticket received
not more than 10000, including
the anti-prohibition Republicans
who voted for Robinson. These
figures indicate that the Farmers
Alliance has not recruited it's ranks
from the Republican party alone,
and they also show that the Demo-
Gratis can never hope to carry Kan
sas by making war on prohibition.
The McCook tribune., 1890-11-14

The republicans have done so
well during the session Of the Fif-
ty-frst congress that they have
earned a little rest. The Ameri-
can people are always solicitous Of
the health Of their public servants
and they relieve them, at intervals,
of mental strain. But the nation
was boosted ahead a long distance
by the Legislation of 1890, and it
will never fall back to the condi-
ton it was left in by the late dem
ocratic administration of odorous
memory. The disabled soldiers
have got their pensions and the
democrats will not be able to re-
peal the law. Silver is remone-
tized and Mr.. Cleveland's compact
with Wall street can never be re-
newed. The tariff has been re-
formed and will not be meddled
with for many a year. The princi-
pie Of reciprocity with our South
American brethren has been estab-
lished and there is no ''gigging
back" We can afford to let the
democrats show their inertia and
put on the drags. Too much Of a
good thing is always distasteful to
the people, but one thing has been
demonstrated in the political his
tory Of the nation since 81, and
that is that every advance made
when the republicans are in power
is permanent and is heartily en-
dorsed by the democrats five years
after going into effect. The bour-
bons can put on the brakes, but
thev have never dared to reverse
the lever.-State Journal.
The McCook tribune., 1890-11-14

The November returns to the
Agricultural department at Wash
ington make the average for corn
1919 bushels, and for potatoes SIS
bushels. The crops, SO far as these
two products are concerned, have
but once before been so unsatisfac-
tory, and yet there will be enough
of both to supply the demand for
food, and there will be surplus
of corn to sell. The agricultural
resources of this country are SC
great that it requires a more
serious failure than has ever been
known in the United States to pro-
duce scarcity sufficient to en-
barraSs consumers.
The McCook tribune., 1890-11-14

AN ingenius liar gets into the
newspapers to say thatthe Montreal
capitalists have put up job of
immense proportions ON the Nc
Kinley act, which imposes duty
of 5 cents dozen Oh eggs. They
are going to erect immense estab-
lishments across the line in which
the hens will be fed on the Cana
dian side and will lay their eggs
on the United States side. The
hens will be fed with cheap Cana
dian dough and the eggs being
American will not have to pay any
duty and millions Of dollars will be
made at the expense Of poor Mr.
Mckinley. There is one thing
that this liar forgot. 1t will cost
every hen that walks across the
line in the morning to lay a cents
worth Of egg three cents pound,
live weight, to get her fuss, feath-
ers and cackle over into the United
States. By the time she has paid
a daily duty on her carcass of ff-
teen to twenty cents for the privi-
lege Of laying American eggs one
summer she will be tired Of the
project Of beating Mr.. McKinley's
bill.-State Journal.

ONCE more does it become neces-
sary to tender our most sincere
condolences to Mr.. Rosewater.
Look at that magnificent vote for
the independent ticket. You made
it possible Mr.. Rosewater, even
more, you made it. But none of
it is yours, or for you. The usu-
fruct Of all your toll and labor goes
to others. 1t Is great pity, Mr..
Rosewater-but none of us are
gifted with the power Of vision into
a grindstone.-Lincoln Herald.
The McCook tribune., 1890-11-14

IT is somewhat amusing to note
the blunders made by opponents
of the Mckinley bill, when they
interpret it in the light that the tar
if adds to the price Of the products.
For instance, the duty on salt is
eight cents per one hundred pounds
in bulk, and twelve cents per hund-
red pounds in bags, barrels orpack-
ages. A barrel Of salt and barrel
weighs three hundred pounds, the
duty on which would be thirty-six
cents. AS the barrel of salt on
board the cars at the salt works
costs but fifty cents, we take out
the duty, thirty-six cents, leaving
for the original cost Of salt to the
importer, fourteen cents for barrel
and salt. The freight from port
of entry to the place Of manufact-
ure-Syracuse, Saginaw or Kansas
in no case, be less than
twenty-five cents a barrel and in
some one dollar, so that if it is
true that the duty on salt adds to
its cost to the consumer, the buy
er in Syracuse, N. Y, would get a
barrel for nothing and get as a
bribe to take it six cents bar
rel, the barrel costing nothing, be-
ing made by foreign labor. The
western buyer would get about a
dollar per barrel for buying salt
from the importer at the same
rate.-Rolfe Reveille.

In France, owing to the passage
of the Mckinley bill, raising the
duties on silks, wines, and fine
woolen goods, the newspap ers are
urging the French government to
make concessions to the American
trade that this government may
thereby be induced to readopt the
old schedule of rates. American
pork and other farm products may,
therefore, be received in France
with more favor.

s'THIs thing of being decent is
such a novelty in politics, says the
Fremont Tribune, ''that people are
afraid to risk it. And the defeat
of L. d, Richards gives strong col
,oring to the humiliating statement.
The epitaph of that party in which
decency is bar to success is writ
ten. In this connection, however,
it is gratifying to note that the de-
feat of Mr.. Richards was compass
ed by the same selfish and corrupt
gang that has ever menaced the
republican party in Nebraska, not
by the rank and file of the party.

Found ON the railroad Track.

On Saturday morning at 2 o'clock
Hiram Beauchamp, who is holding
the position of private night watch
man for number of merchants in
the city, found a young Hebrew
who gave his name as Ed Stern, and
said he was from San Antonio, lying
on the Central railroad track at Mar
ket street crossing, in an apparently
senseless and almost lifeless condi-
ton. He had been lying there ever
since ten o'clock. A physician was
summoned by telephone, the young
man was removed to Harris cotton
platform and in q few minutes was
enabled to walk to the Exchange
hotel, where he was put to bed and
where he was still confined on Mon
day. The doctor said that nothing
was the matter with the young man.
but Stern says he had heart trouble
and had often been attacked that
way before. When he started out
to walk at night he complained OF
feeling troubled in the region of the
heart.

The following dispatch dated
from Huntsville on last Saturday
appears in the Fort Worth Gazette :
ga meeting of citizens was held in
the courthouse to-day to determine
upon plans for obtaining subscrip-
tons in this county for the building
of the new railroad from this place
via Navasota to BRENNAN and La
Grange, to be extended east Of
Huntsville and west of LAGRANGE to
a point to be hereafter determined.
The committee appointed at the
BRENNAN meeting to represent
Walker county in the raising of sub
scriptlons to the capital stock Of the
enterprise stated their business to
the meeting this morning and imme-
diately began their work, and sew
eral thousand dollars were raised in
a few hours this morning. As soon
as S125,O00 is raised by the four
counties through which the road is
to pass meeting will be called by
the committees for the purpose of
organizing a company to construct
the proposed road and begin active
operations. The people of this
county are very enthusiastic over
the matter. This road will go
through four of the richest and best
counties in the state, and will open
to West and Southwest Texas the
most direct route to the timber and
other resources of East Texas. Dr..
Wells of Tyler has been employed
to make survey of the route, and
will soon begin work"
