this Fifty-frst Congress- in the Fifty
second Congress, the opposition ma
jOrity is 81, which shows an admins
tratiCn loss of SO in a membership Of

district of Rhode Island, there was no
candidate who had majority Of all the
votes cast, but as the administration
candidate was in a minority he is
morally certain to be beaten at the
special election in chat district.
IL may be noticed that of the SO
members in the sO-called nine northern

a one of the many eruptive diseases Of
the skin. The blood-vessels Of the
parts affected are in state of conges-
ton, accompanied by itching, smarting
and emulation of serum, or watery por-
ton of the blood. The disease varies
greatly in severity and extent, as we'll
as in its course and character.
Its simplest form is mere redness,
perhaps on the eyelids or behind the
ears, or near the joints. Some times
there are pimples, either on affected
spots or around them, or more or less
diffused over the body.
Sometimes vesicles--water-blad
are formed by the emulation of serum
beneath the skin, the special seat being
the back of the hand or the front and
sides of the fingers. In few days the
serum NAV be absorbed. the swelling
subsidies. the cuticle dries up and comes
off, and the skin either returns to Its
normal condition or the cutlcle Is
thrown off in scales
In another variety there is intense
rndness, prnfuSe emulation and the
| formation of a thick crust, through ifs
sures in which mucous pus exudes.

1t is common and everyday occur
renee for the average citizen to abuse
thee postoffice authorities when thei
mail, as expected, failed to react
them, and yet nine times out OF
ten it is the citizen who il
to blame for it and not the
postoffice authorities. The postmaster
in Kansas City states that nearly 100
letters mailed per day in that city
have to be sent to the dead letter office
because there is no other way of re-
turning them to their senders. Many
of these letters are dropped into the
office without any stamps on them,
and the address improperly written,
or with no address stall. Of course
Kansas City's case does not differ from
that of any other city and it is a fact
that even the most careful people IN
ordinary matters are careless regard
ing their mail. The Kansas Cry
postmaster has called the attention of
Postmaster General Wanamaker to a
plan by which he thinks great ex
pense and large amount of trouble
to the postoffice department may be
avoided and it is to charge double
postage for all letters upon which the
name and address of the sender is not
plainly written or printed. The
plan is good one, and beside, the
saving to the government, the lesson
against ignorance and carelessness
would be worth considering.
