from Missouri or an adjoining state ap-
preached the tent with their families and
were recognized by citizen who khew the
ticket taker, and thinking to play practi-
cal Joke handed back TO them two checks for
reserved seats in the circus and two checks
Tor seats in one Of the theatres in place Of the
1our coupons upon their circus tickets. The
congressman went into the tent, and upon
presenting the checks for reserved seats were
rldlcued and ieered They returned to the
ticket taker and were about TO have him ar
rested when the citizen friend put in an ap-
pearance and handed over their reserved
coupons with the remark that everything
goes at Circus,n
POLITICS AND CENSUS APPOINTMENTS.
II appears that the recommendations of the
supervisors OF the census in the various dis
tricts Of the states for the appointment Of
enumeratorS do not altogether please the
politicians. The superintendent of the census
attends to the appointment of enumerators
upon the recommendations of the supervisors,
but in very many instances the latter do not
recommend the men wanted by politicians
and congressman and Superintendent Porter
IS having merry time with them. 1t is not
often that the recommendations of the super
visors are not regarded. A protest from n
congressman generally leads to some CORE
spondence between the office here and the
supervisor, and often results in another
recommendation; but there have been many
snarls, naturally. Hereafter the recommen-
dations OF the supervisors will stand, as the
time for beginning the work of taking the
census is so ncar-June THAT delays cannot
longer be suffered for political reasons.
FARMERS STIR UP SOUTHERN CoNGRRssMEN.
Distress courses through the minds of q
number of plodding southern congi essmen
who have been simple "seat warmers in the
house for many years and who have never
taken the trouble to disturb themselves for
denomination and re election. The Farmers
alliance is making the trouble. The berth of
southern congressman has always been
much more easy than that of western or
middle states member. A southerner does
little work for his constituency in the way of
local legislation or Office getting A few docu-
ments, some seeds and general speech, writ
ten out and published in the Congressional
Record for distribution through the district,
have done the work. Now the farmers have
organized and propose to put candidates in
the field against the regular democratic NOM
inees, and it looks as though about two dozen
men from the southern sections who have
done little more than vote for free trade and
draw their salaries would be relegated.
ABOUT ADJOURNMENT.
An impression prevails that the senate will
be very deliberate, as 1T was two years ago
and not consent to an adjournment under.

1t hopes to in the way of legislation before
the middle Of July. Senators Teller Allison

lutcly necessary in order to do the work be-
fore it. There is certain work which the
predominant party is pledged to do at this
session, and this must be done whether the
political fences of members are kept up or
not. The republicans have the legislative
branch of the government and presidency
and the country natu rally expects certain
legislation. 1t will not do to disappont the
majority, even though the session is months
longer than it appears necessary or conven-'
lent. ESa
MISCELLANEOUS.
1t is not believed that the Henderson bill
giving an increased appropriation for state
militia and broadening the scope of that arm
of the military service will be reached at this
session unless those interested in it bring
their influence to bear upon their representa-
tives i'll the house Colonel Henderson says
the bill will pass if it secures consideration.
