THE statement that Bowden and Laugs!on
intend TO contest the election of the fairly
chosen democratic congressmen from their
districts, suggests two ideas-one that the
Contest will be for the purpose ofgetting tie
81 coo allowed every contestant; the other
that every one of the few democratic candi'
dates for Congress defeated at the recent
election should contest the seat OF his sue
cessfal republican opponent, and thus make
the business Of ontestng, solely for the pur-
pose of getting the money referred to, so ao-
aurd and ridiculous that the whole system
NAV be abolished.

MALAGA GRAPES Few of the fruit.eat-
ing public are aware of the source of supply
of what are called Malaga or white grapef.
o. late years the consumption of these
grapes has increased fully 100 per cent. over
what it was len years ago. There are no
Malaga grapes IN tie market, as few Of
them are shipped to America. They are
mostly dried. ard from this source come
the Malaga iaisins. From small pro-
vince OF Maag called Alhurin for the last
few years only have shipments of grapes
been made. These graphs are first ripe.s
from 5000 to 10 COO barrels Only at the out
sids are exported to America. In Alhuriu
are grown the grapes that make some of
the famous large punches OF Malaga raisins.
From l.t;is village In Spain called Al
meria, situated directly On the Mediterfa1-
San Sea. about $50 miles east of Gibraltar, are
shipped annueliy, between August % and
November l, bstween 100000 snd 800 600
barrels OF grapes, and d part OF those Is
consumed in America. They are ca d
Malaga or white grapes, but they really
are A meria grapes, and are so called by
Of the trade.

I,ExA NDRIA. A
SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 80.

TIE SUPERINTENDENT ofthe life saving serv-
10, has recommended sn increase in the SAL
aries OF the men employed in that service.
The superintendent OF any other govern
msnt service would doubtless do the same
to help the men under him. Bat all the
other people Of the country, who are taxed
on the necessaries OF lite to pay these recon-
nepded increased salaries, and who don't
reap sny of the benefits thereof, fail to ap-
prsclate the justice of the accommodation.
They say that hard es the life saving, or any
other sort of government service, may be,
those who are engaged therein knew what
the pay was when they entered 1t, that 1t la
q great deal more than they can get any
whore else, and that thousands of others
lust as good and worthy men are not only
willing but anxious to take their places
without any increase 10 the present salaries.
O 20 great cause of the increasing discomfort
in this country is the difference between the
pay of government and private employees.
Why the former, who work fewer houre'
should be paid so much more than the lat
ter, no body except congressman can teil'
ard they can't do go satisfactorily.

There Is q most cordial reciprocal hatred between
Speaker Reed aud Mr.. Rogers OF ArkAnsas and the
sueertnR eccentric semi iocular attack OF tho Arkan
saH member upon tho Speaker has attracted conSdera
bio attention. Mr. Reed put exaggerated express
sion Of helpless disgust when he wac compelled to
recognize Rogers which caught tho eve Of tho whole
House and rdicue upon the member rising TO Ai,
dress tho House but Rogers got hs revenge in the
bitterly personal speech that has been made in tho
House without getting outside Of parliamentary form
Of expression.
Tho most interesting features Of tho episode were
those that running report OF the proceedings could
take note OF and which will appear in tho record
Tho pantomime was picturesque The looks OF hatred
disgust and contempt flung back and forth between
the two men. always under tho disguise OF mock pc
likeness aud snoernR smile, were more eloquent and
entertaining tho House than tho most vigorous
language used In the hours speech An expression OF
anger finally drove all other expressions from the
Speakers round face aud he left the hall calling
one else the chair. Neither Of these men suelk
OF tho other In private conversation without saying
something very uncomplimentary.
Tho other day when tho Speaker said no had recog
nlzed tho gentleman from Arkansas Rogers retorted
with a bow that he did not know there WAS any
QuAintanco between them
