The Democratio Sweep.
NET GAIN OF NO LESS THAN EIGHTY
FIVE DONGREsSMEH.

The returns up to date show that in
country on last week the Democrats
made gain of "a members of the
House of Representatives in the Fast
erns States, 81 in the Western and 25
in the Southern, or net gain of Sc
members. There may possibly be
some slight changes, but it is now
reasonably certain that the lower House
of the Fifty-second Congress will con-
sist of 237 Democrats aud 95 Repub-
licans, provided the Second district of
Rhode Island sends Republican, as it
is likely to do.
In the Democratic column the Farm
ers' Alliance representatives are in
cluded. Of these, Stockhouse, of
South Carolina; Brady, of North Car.
olina, and Dads, Simpson and Baker,
of Kansas, are all known to be oppos-
ed to the Republican party and un-
doubtedly belong with the Democrats.
The Alliance contributed to the success
of several other members, but in each
case it was the result of cooperation
with the Democrats.
As far as the Senate Is concerned,
there is every reason to believe that
Democrats will be chosen to succeed
Fsrwell, of Illinois; ingalls,, of Kansas;
Eyarts, of New York; Spooner of Wis
consin, aud Blair, of New Hampshire.
South Dakota is nov known to haye
gone Republican and Moody's success
or will consequently be Republican.
The official count will be necessary to
determine the result in Colorado, but
the indications are that the Republi
cans have pulled through by a slight
majority and Teller will have chance
to succeed himself.
The following table shows the com
plexion of the Fifty-second Congress
compared with the Fifty first, Rhode
Island being credited with only one
member:

Deafness CANT Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube, When this tube
gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound for imperfect bearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed for ever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

cause they are given too much by the
voters of the country, but that's about
the condition of the demcratic leaders.
They fully appreciate the emphatic
endorsement of the principles of the
party given by the people, but they
would have anticipated far less trouble
had their majority been about humid
red less in the next House---it is now
80 large that it actually causes anxiety.
The feeling that the short session Of
Congress will, in its anxiety to pass
political legislation neglect to pass all
OF tho regular appropriation bills, and
thus make an extra session of the Fifty
second Congress, in the spring, neces-
sary, to provide for the needs of the
Government, has precipitated the cam
paigu for the speakership aud the other
officers of the next House.

PArrIsoNs MAJORITY GROWING.
HE NOW HAS PLURALITY OF OVER
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND.

Some slight changes in the returns,
resulting from the official count in
such counties as have been completed,
bring the plurality of Governor
Pattison up to 1892. The Associat-
ed Press returns give Watres, for Lieu
tenant Governor, 1865 plurality, and
Stewart, for Secretary of Internal af-
fairs, 1920 plurality.
the official returns so far received
show the election to the State Senate
of 10 Republicans and 16 Democrats,
In the lower branch of the Legislature
there will be l22 Republicans, 80 De-

One of the most pleasing results of
the late election is the fact that a
Democrat will succeed John J. ingalls,
of Kansas in the Senate. He is one of
the most intolerant and abusive men
o; the opposition. 1t is he who was re-
ported as saying at Pi.tsburg during
the campaign, that the meanest Repub-
hcan was better than the best Demo
crat he ever knew.

1t is probable that the United States
Senate will be controlled by the Demo-
Gratis 10 two years more. Democrats
will be chosen this winter to succeed
Eyarts of New York, Farwell of Hi
nois, Spooner of Wisconsin, and In
gals of Kansas, which will reduce the
present Republican majority to SIX.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1890-11-14

1t is astonishing how harmonious
the Republican organs are nowadays.
They want peace, and they are be-
seeching the Independents, whom they
have been calling all sorts of names
for several weeks, to come back into
the party and "pull together for 1892"

Setting Down on a Fire.
ANN
c[

An old story is being resurrected
against a usually quiet but somewhat
excitable resident of the suburbs. 1t is
alleged that the gentleman in question
discovered that fire had been started
in the attic of his house, through the
heat of the chimneys. With rare pres.
ence of mind he rushed down stairs and
seized milk pitcher from the kitchen
table, rushed out to the cistern, threw
the milk out of the pitcher, pumped
some water into it, and rushed up
stairs only to find that his wife had
seized large pitcher of water from
one of the bedrooms in the upper
story and extinguished the incipient
confagraticn. AS there were four large
ewers of water on the two upper stories,
the progress of mental reasoning which
induced the excited resident to make
such ferocious onslaught on the milk
pitcher would be extremely interesting
to trace, if such thing were possible.
He should have had the presence of
mind possessed by another property
owner, who discovered that a spark
from a neighboring contlagration had
lit upon the slightly slanting roof of his
house, and had set fire to the shingles.
All the buckets and tubs and pitchers
had gone for use in the big fire, and
there was no one to send over to bring
them back. But the owner of the
house, even in the moment of peril, |
kept cool-headed. He rushed to the
pond, which stood by the house, and
sat down in the water. To
race up stairs and out on the roof was
the work of a moment, and then he
"sat on" the fire in more senses than
one! He saved the house. -Boston I'D.

She Was Unusually Discreet.

A little Maine girl recently visited
New York and went to the theatre two
or three times. On her return home
she was reluctant to go to church on
Sunday and made the remark that "she
liked those meetings best where the
curtain rose" Her father who was q
leading church member cautioned her
about making that remark when call
ers were present. Shortly after the
minister was shown in and the little
girl entertained him awhile alone.
When her father entered the room she
said: Papa, I've told the minister all
about my visit to New York, but l did
not say anything about the meeting
where the curtain rose and l amt
agoing to either" The little rogue
was just about as discreet as her pa
was when he told her to keen mum.

Kissed Her for the Cigars.

''I'd give twenty-five cents for per.
mission to kiss that girl, +" remarked an
insipid-looking youth on an Albany
bound train last night, indicating with
motion of his hand an unusually
handsome young woman asleep il
a seat near by. The young mar
was one of a group standing in the rear
of the crowded car. Another young
man said:
You have my permission, sir
gratis"
''Fraid she wouldn't regard 1t as
sufficient" laughed the first.
II don't know" replied the other; ~
have great influence with good-looK,
ing girls-I'll tell you what I'll do; III
bet you a good cigar l can kiss he1
without waking her."
"Done!' cried the insipid youth.
IN give you cigar if you dare do 1t
anyway, and two more if she don't
wake up"
"It's 60"
The daring young man stepped, up
to the seat where the pretty. girl slept
leaned over softly and kissed her square
upon her mouth. She stirred, smiled
little, but did not wake. The group OF
men had watched the proceeding in
breathless suspense, and long and
simultaneous sigh broke from them as
young Impudence Strengthened up after
the operation and rejoined the group,
several passengers who had seen the
audacious performance staring at him
in astonishment. by Jovc! that was
elegantr' the fellow of insipid aspect
exclaimed as he handed the successful
kisser his three cigars.
But there was another reckoning to
be made. The conductor came hurry
ing down the aisle, and event for"
the daring passenger, metaphorically
speaking, ''hammer and longs" cry
ing: "See here, young man, don't you
ever try that again! Are you gen.
tleman, sirp Don't you know that l
can arrest you for such performance
as that?"
The young man colored, but laughed
nervously as he answered, mo, don't
much believe you can. l guess there
isn't any American law against fell
lows kissing his own SISTERS there9"
1t has not appeared yet whether or
not the young woman learned of her
brothers astonishing exhibition of dis
or whether. if she did, her
lessened the qualification
derived from the cigars won in such a
questionable manner.-Albany cypress.
