THEY'LL FOOL HIM.
Reeds Demand for an Early Adjourn
ment a Political Impossibility.
The Exact Date of an Adjournment Can't be
Reckcned, but 1t Is Claimed August
Will Find Congress In Session

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May THAT congress
will not adjourn by July is foregone
conclusion. 1t is an absolute physical
aud political impossibility to do SO. While
the party in power has a leader in Reed,
whose backbone is all sufficient for any
emergency and who has already overrid-
den the very highest authorities on par
liamentary law, in counting a quorum
present without right or justice, and
while they ''follow their leader" with
blind infatuation on most questions, yet
in demanding an adjournment by July i
Reed has reckoned without quorum.
Experience has shown that in long ses-
sions an effort is made about the first of
May to determine the date of adjourn
ment. Experience also teaches that
date set has been extended several times
before it is a fixed fact. In fact, it
is harder to set q date for congress
TO adjourn than it is to set hen and be
sure of the brood. A slight glance at
the legislation to be accomplished before
congress expires is sufficient argument
against an adjournment by July l or
and but seven weeks remain until July l.
in this time congress must perforee to
pass the following measures, if they ad-
here to the planks in their platform:
Tariff, silver, Federal election law, Pa
ciflc railroads, election OF members, six
important appropriation bills, pension
laws galore, innumerable public build
ing bills, q bankrupt law, changing
jurisdiction of Federal courts. ir-
rigation bill, and, indeed, the
list might be extended indefinitely.
Tha: a congressional election is pending
will have some weight with members
whose fences are weak. The Texas del
egation in esse is not greatly alarmed,
but in one or two instances the members
from Texas will make early pilgrimages
home. The fiat of the president that
measures of great national Importance
must and shall receive the attention of
congress is another reason why the early
adjournm ent cannot be had. He has
admonished congress that it must do its
duty in this respect, and no dawdling or
crawfishing will be allowed. If congress
should get away by the ldes of August it
will do well, and even at the present
rapid (?) rate of progress it is prob
lematical if an adjournment can even
by that time be had. The Democrats
will, of course, not quietly submit to be-
ing banded around as the Republicans
may see fit, and the "gag' rule on
public matters will not be submitted TO
quietly. Congress is here for business
and the business must be done at all
hazards. It will take bigger man than
Reed to adjourn congress with Its BUSH
ness unfinished, and the Fourth of July
will not witness the expiration of the
present session, "broken fences, - and
home interests TO the contrary, notwith-
standing.

THE WOMEN GOT MAD.
The Female Officers of the Town Of Edgson,
KAs., Resign I'm HUFF Because the
Men Criticise Them:
Special to the Gazette.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 1.-THE la-
dies who we're recently elected officers of
Edgron, Kan. have already wearied of
the new found honors. They want to let
go SO bad they all resigned yesterday
and say the men can run things in
the future. The whole trouble arose
from the fact that the men have been
so free to criticize the ladies on each and
every official action that the poor dears
have thrown down their reins in huff
and declare that the men are too
mean to be governed by respectable
people. At the meeting Of the city
council last night the fun began
when it was reported that
men who were Taxpayers refused
to allow certain innovations to be pro-
ceeded with in the order of the city
council. The ladies began their Access
sion to power by ordering the streets all
cleared and sidewalks laid all over town.
Hard cider joints were closed and there
was general shaking up of dry bones.
When the report was made the ladies
were first mad, and then they took
refuge in that feminine source of COM
fort, a good cry, and then the ball was
started by the mayor, Mrs. w. II.
Kelly, saying she would have nothing
more to do with the thing, and she re-
signed and left the council chamber. She
was followed by Mrs. Thomas Greer, po-
lice judge, and there was a scram-
bic between Mesdames Mat Ross
Rolls Holdin, a. G.. Brown and Stew
art, the members of the council, to see
which could get in her resignation first.
The result is that there is not an officer
IN the town now, and q
special election has been called
to be held on the 10Th of May
to fill the vacancies. A majority of the
men, however, are opposed to the ladies
reslgning, and say they will re-eleot the
old officers and show them that they are
ready to endorse their action toward i'm
proving the towns morals.

PnRLIC KRONG-DoING.

The pessimist who looks longlngly
backward, says an exchange, hopelessly
forward, and critically upon the present,
finds in the calm concern of the public,
in the presence of acknowledged evils
that exist, an argument in favor of his
dark estimate of public virtue. That
there is a spirit of indifference to public
wrong-doiug that is deserving of censure
is we'll attested by the fact that dis
closures of many forms of dishonesty
aud vice in community are received
seemingly without surprise or evidence of
serious displeasure. There are reasons
for this. however. which, while they
cannot wholly excuse such manifest in
difference, at least show why it exists,
and prove that its existence is not to be
accepted as an evidence of a soiled pub
doubtless enough conscious partner
ship in the wrong to silence open
commentator of it, but that this
is not usually the case is with essed
in the well-known disposition of
sinners to cry out against wrong-doers of
their. especial type whenever public occa-
sion is presented to do so. That the large
class in every community who abhor vice
and loathe social impurity, suffer it to
exist without a public rebuke, is partly
due to a dissemination to give offense,
.o-.1r frop, a wholesome draad Of raftiug
into trouble by intermeddling with dis
agreeable matters, and partly from I'M
certainty as to methods that would pro-
daoe opposite results. Any single one of
these reasons is plausible, while the COM
bination-and it often exists-of all of
them is sufficient to cause the prudent
man to pass wrong-doirg of the more
subtle, but not less vicious, kind with his
finger upon his lips, seeing, yet not see
ing it. The sensational newspaper of a
city furnishes with every issue numerous
illustrations OF how much rough, unkind
criticism there is which hurts the feel
ings and damages the reputation OF
the innocent without doing any good;
how many wholesale denunciations are
hurled, without pausing to seek cause or
explanation Of the alleged action; how
many cruel exaggerations are made in
reoounting the shortcomings of those
who are, it may be, striving against cir
cumstances TO hold up their heads in the
world. In view Of all this it is not
strange that human and sympathetic
people avoid altogether the discussions
that open wide the door of uncharitable
criticism and unkind remark. On the

FAT people will be interested in the
surgical operation which has just been
performed at Paris upon NJ. Hiroguelle,
a well-known literary man. He wanted
to weigh less quickly, and SO he placed
himself in the hands of Drs. Marx and
Demars. The latter, after putting him
under ohloroform, raised his cuticle, and
cut away four and three-quarter pounds
of his adipose tissue. The skin was then
stitched up, and a week later NJ. HIro-
guele had quite recovered from the eff
feots of the operation, which is known as
''de graissage. -

BERLIN, May 11.-Prince Bismarck
during the past week received several
communications from the emperor
couched in friendly terms, but practi-
cally suggesting that his removal from
office should involve political inactivity.
Heirs Buscher and Poschengers
stayed two days at Friedrichsr uhe
and left impressed with the con-
viction that the chancellor considered
himself still the man of most influence
in the empire. He believes the emperor
ere long will be obliged to recall him to
extricate the government from the diff
oulties into which he will have plunged
it. He freely expressed his discomfort
because the emperor in his speech from
the throne omitted reference to his dis
missal. The emperor denies that
tdismissal' is the right phrase; If
the prince had not several times offered
TO resign the emperor would not have
taken advantage of the past to part with
him.
The Freizssange Zeitung is gaining q
bad notoriety through its publication of
scandals in regard to Prince Bismarck.
