ALBANY. N. Y, November 5.-Governor
Hill said this afternoon: ''The result Of the
congressional elections indicate that the
people do not approve Of the arbitrary and
unwarrantable course pursued by the Re-
publicans in the present Congress. Their
leaders. reckless in partisanship, alienated
the independent people OF the country and
aroused the Democracy to the danger OF the

ments in that regard In no uncertain tone. l

ure will undoubtedly be reLewed In Decem-
ber, but public sentiment will prevent Il.
The ext0rtions sanctioned by the Republi-
can tariff legislation contributed much 10
the general discomfort, aud accelerated the
almost universal desire for change. The
people Of this state rebuked Mr.. Secretary
Noble and his superintendents OF the census
for their arbitrary refusal to permit a re-
count In New York city, and for their inso-
lent official behavior towards those who
sought 10 prevent the consummation OF the
census swindle; The answer Of the people
to Mr.. Mobiles impertinent and discOurteous
letter was the election OF a Democratic
House of Representatives by an unprece-
dented majority. That house will have am
pie authority TO investigate the outrage fas-
tened upon New York city, and possibly

LITERARY NOTES.

The August number of the Forum will
contain remarkable essay, by Prince p.
Kropotkin, on "The Possibilities Of
Agriculture" He has made thorough in
vestigation of the fabulous results of the
scientific cultivation of land in the most
densely populated portions of Europe, and
ne shows the ease with which the number
OF acres now cultivated in the civilized
parts Of the world can be made to yield
sustenance for many times the number of
people now alive. Scientific and intensive
agriculture in the United States for in
stance, can be made to sustain in plenty,
and with much greater cheapness than
now, population at least ten times as
dense. The writer shows conclusively why
u u that such slow progress is made in
tnese revolutionary Improvements in agri-
culture; but he predicts with confidence
tnat We are on the eve of the reign of
plenty. He proposes that a hundred acres
DO cultivated in this way as part of the
exposition at Chicago, in order to demon
strate the possibilities Of multiplying many
times the products Of the American farmer.
The Forum will also contain an essay on
The Decollete in Modern Life" by Eliz-
abeth Stuart Phelps. which is q text from
which the writer argues an alarming decay
In delicacy in American society; and she
traces the effects of this decay in our art, in
our literature, in politics, and throughout
the whole range Of American activity.

The Commons Adjourn the Debate on the
CessiOn Bill.
LONDON, July 25.-In the commons yester-
day James Ferguson, parliamentary secreta-
ry OF the foreign Office, moved that the bill
providing for the oession Of Heligoland pass
to second reading. Gladstone made speech
in support of the agreement. He blamed
the government, however, for not Sc
curing beforehand an agreement with
France regarding Zanzibar. He said
1t was difficult to comment on
the commission without embarrassing the
government which he did not desire to do.
It was to be regretted that in one person
were combined the offices Of prime minis
ter and foreign secretary as the duties of
the two exceeded the possibility of any
human brain, unless possessed Of the DOW
ers of Napoleon or Cromwell. He could not
vote against the bill on principle because
the queen could give Germany. Heligoland
but he was not supposed to make 9 preoe-
dent on q subject Of most profound practi-
cal importance in the constitution. There
fore he declined to take part in the discus
sion on the bill. Mr.. Goshen, Harcourt,
Balfour and others spoke. Smith then
moved closure on the He}jgoland bill but
the speaker refused to close the discussion
ON questions 20 important without allowing
the amplest debate. The debate was then
adjourned.
The bill was passed to q second reading
at the session to-day.

to Washington from trip to New York
and Boston and has seen q great light.
He found the business men Of those cit

Minnesota, is another republican who
has been sounding public sentiment on
the question and takes sides with Mr..
Paddock. The list Of republican soma
tors opposed to such law now reaches
ten, and if all stand firm the bill cannot
be passed.

MR.. EDMUND CLARENCE sTED
MANS NEW BOOK,

| Mr.. John g. Whittier, who, as he grows
Older, grows more cautious in his bestowal
OF praise. thus writes Mr.. Stedman afte,
having examined his new Library OF
American Literature:
Il have been looking over the noble vol
umes with hearty satisfaction. The great
work 10 admirably done. The plan and ex-
ecutlon seem to me to be deserving of I'M
qualified praise. A breath OF the New
World blows through it,
In the first volumes, relating to the early
colonial literature, Mr.. Stedman has sue
ceeded in gathering together such an array
OF interesting matter pertaining to the do
mestic life of the colonies a. will astonish
tho ordinary student Of history. Elbow
tho Puritans Suffered and Loved One An
other" is the title Of one article, taken from
an old manuscript written by Puritan 2l6
years ago. This is the keynote Of the early
volumes. The lights with Indians; tho ex-
plorations in the forests; the perilous voy-
ages across the Atlantic; the suferings en-
dured for want Of sufficient food and the
necessaries of life, and above all, the fight
they had with the devil, 'who," a. Cotton
Mather says, twas exceedingly disturbed
when he saw the people of God settle in
what were once his territories''-all this
brings out their fierce struggles against
obstacles and shows the exceeding rugged
ness of their character. Then there is a
darker side, too, to their history. The
prosecutions of Anne Hutchinson and her
followers, and of Roger Williams; the
hanging of Quakers and recital Of tho out
RACES practiced upon them, and above all,
the Salem witchcraft and the hanging and
imprisonment of most of the unfortunate
inhabitants Of that unfortunate town, are
great blots on New England's history.
But it is all given-copied verbatim
from the old records left us BY Increase and
Cotton Mather, Deodat Lawson and the
Minister of Salem and others. Mr.. Sted-
man leads his readers through successive
periods in American history, always keep
ing himself in the background, until in the
eleventh volume he completes it. in the
most comprehensive aud far-reaching COM
pendulum of our literature which has ever
been written. 1t is truly, az one prominent
writer says, zone of the most valuable addi-
tions to the general and household library
that has been made since printing began in
this country"

The census returns show that Pueblo,
Colorado, has doubled it's population in
two years. Organized effort and push
on the part Of the citizens increased the
number Of inhabitants from 1900 in
1888 to $1,000 in 1890. There's pattern
for Helena. Fifty Thousand in three
years should be about our figure.
