The Senate Republican caucus which is
called for next Monday will be very inn
portant gathering, inasmuch as it will
probably settle the fate Of the election bill
and perhaps some other bills now pending
before the Senate. Rumor alleges that the
silver Senators are plotting for an extra ses-
sion of Congress in the expectation that the
free-coinage advocates In the next Congress
will be strong enough to pass a silver bill
such as they want over the Presidents veto
II rumOr is correct of course these Senators
will approve any measures likely to ensure
the completion of all needed legislation be-
fore the fourth of March, inasmuch as that
would remove all excuse for calling Congress
together before the usual time. There have
been good many indications that these
Senators were opposed to any attempt to
limit debate or to keep the Senate in contin-
uous session until the election bill was dis
posed Of, or it was demonstrated that ii
could not be disposed Of. but they have not
been conclusive. Mondays caucus will be
likely to definitely settle what their attitude
is to be,

Joseph Cook who has been travelling In
Utah and talking with the people, both Nor
mons and Gentiles takes no stock in the re-
ported decision of the Mormons to abandon
polygamy and to submit to the laws of the
land. He considers it simple swindle.
Its purpose was to head off unfavorable leg
islation, secure statehood and perpetuate
the Latter Day frauds. Mr.. Cook says that
those who know the Mormons are unani-
nous in the same opinion and all commend
the recommendation of the Presidents mes
sage advising Congress- to wait for more def
mite and better evidences of moral regener-
alton than this manifesto, before clothing
theaMormons with the privileges of state
hood The Mormons he says are no more
ready to give up polygamy now than they
were at the time of the Mountain Meadow
massacre and they are fully as ready to shed
blood for what they call their rights as they
were then.

The "best people" of Carrollton, Miss,
have prevailed upon Baptist minister of
that place to write to Senator George aud tell
him that the recent murder of young Mat
thews was purely a personal affair ard had
no politics in it. When Matthew's uncle
was shot at Hazelhurst the "best people" of
that town took precisely the same view of
his murder. There is never any politics in
these affairs. according to the ''best people"
but it always happens that the person shot
is Republican who has made himself OBJ
noxious by openly proclaiming his views.

THE FORUM FOR MARCH.

With the number for March, The Forum
begins its eleventh volume. Throughout
the whole period of the ten volumes o
finished the publishers announce that there
has been an uninterrupted increase of their
BUSINESSMAN indication OF the steady
growth of the popular interest in the free
discussion of the most important subjects
of the time. So great has been the growth

cure larger Office room than the quarters
now occupied by The Forum, which, three
years ago, seemed large enough for an in
definite period. The contents for March
are:

Sherman, an explanation of the report by

Subterranean Explorations.

the subterranean passages of the lava beds,

another dark pond of ice that has been ice
for thousands Of years. 1t is pretty safe to
assert that the last living creature in those
frozen waters was the slow, lazy, long
tailed siluras of the lower silnrian period.
The great bed of lava, without any trace OF
the volcanic mountain in sight, the beds OF
tufa, dykes, and necks representing the
sites of volcanic vents, the prevalence OF
the silurian snai in all the soil around, and
other relative facts equally conclusive,

NOT A HUSBAND MARKET.
The following letter has been received

at this office:
ZANEsvILLE. o., Feb. 20, 1891.
Mr.. Postmaster-Kind Sir: viii yoy
please hand this to the editor of the Helent
paper and chlige an unknown friend.
Personal-A young lady of u years., fv'
feet Ave inches in height, weighing III
pounds. dark brown hair and eyes, neat
form. desires to correspond with a gentle.
man between 40 and IS years of age with q
view to matrimony. Please address Miss
- GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
Mr.. Editor-Please publish the above
personal and l will pay you the charge, and
greatly oblige an orphan girl.
This letter, as a fair specimen Of a
class of correspondence that reaches our
hands from time to time, we have after
some irresolution, decided to print. Not,
however, that we have a particle of sym
pathy with the expressed object of the
writer, but simply that we may take the
opportunity Of reading her a little pater-
nal lesson. She is an orphan, and some
touches of folly may be forgiven her on
account of her lack of experience and
parental direction. Ii either father or
mother had been alive to give her kindly
counsel, W do not suppose we should
have become II of her correspondents.
The estate of matrinlony is certainly an
honorable one, and for man or woman
without ties or kindred in the world
it is rightly and honestly an object
Of desire. But the records of
divorce courts prove how often a
fatal mistake has been made after
months and even years of intimate asso-
citation on the part of betrothed
couples. 1t almost seems as if it were
true hat even under the generally ac-
cepted conditions of courtship, marriage
turns out pretry much OF a lottery.
But the girl who is willing to trust her
whole future life and happiness to the
outcome of a newspaper advertisement
is running a risk that few sane
would take. What can she expect: She
is willing to enter into an amatory cor
respondence with a man whose ways OF
life and means of supporting her she
must accept on his own statement.
She knows nothing of his tempera-
ment, of his adaptability, and yet she is
willing, we suppose, to meet him for the
first time on her wedding day. We
want to ask her. what kind of mon in
GAINESVILLE, Ohio. would answer her adj
vertisement? She cannot but believe
that they would be either fools or rakes,
men who would fain have their
own vanity tickled by a correspondence
with an unknown, or creatures intent up
a worse purpose. And Montana in this
respect does not differ materially from
Ohio. All our unmarried men, who are
worth marrying, are too wise to stake
their future life on any insecure chances
such as our correspondent proposes; as
for those who are not worth marrying,
our orphan girl had better remain an
and dwindle into the sere and
yellow leaf of old maidishness rather
than nourish a single desire to make
their acquaintance.
