The washington correspondents of the
Boston Herald and Providence journal con-
cur in stating that the Democratic leaders
have recently been corresponding In regard
to the policy to be pursued in the next Con-
gress, and that there is a practical agreement
as to certain lines Of policy. How far these
statements may be the truth, and how far
they may be speculation. there is nothing to
indicate. Much of the news that comes from
Washington to the papers of the larger cities
Is contaminated by the midsummer necessity
OF getting fsomething thrilling where only
the commonplace exists. 1t is asserted by
these correspondents that all Democrats are
agreed upon the expediency of framing a
new tariff bill In the next Honse. Probably
this is SO. although If there were not Re-
publican President In the way to stop all
possible harm from such bill it may be
doubted whether the Democratic party
would dare to attempt any extensive tariff
legislation at the next session. With sugar
on the free list, and the inflow of duties
adjusted to the expenses of the government,
an equilibrium has been established that
cannot be disturbed rashly or for mere par
tisan purposes. But 1t is represented that
some of t1e Democratic leaders wish not
only to frame a new tariff bill; but to pre-
cede the work by sweeping measure re-
pealing the Mckinley bill IN toto. or course
such repeating measure would be merely
salute OF great guns. since 1t could by no
possibility become law. But some of the
Democrats are represented as wanting to do
this before making their revision. Still 9TH
ers do not wish to attempt the HercuIean
task OF complete revision, preferring rath-
er to pass several single bins cutting off
duties on specified articles which may be
picked out. This would mean. of course, a
crusade against certain Northern industries.
Probably at this time the Democratic leaders
who are represented as corresponding in
regard to the situation. are entirely at sea.
1t may be that only party caucus will set.
tie their differences. But one thing is Ger.
tain. Whatever is done in the next Congress
will be for party advertising, and not prac-
tical effect. No tariff bill OF the next Con.
gress will become law. The Democrats
know this, and their actions will be taken
with this fact In view.

Like many another bright young man, the
late James Russell Lowell, was not, as a
student, quite appreciated by the faculty.
Lowell devoted altogether too much time to
writing poetry and too little to study. So
neglectful OF his studies was he that his
father, DIR. Lowell. finally had serious con
versation with him, as result of which
James promised to give up writing poetry
and take to study. The faculty of Harvard
were more troubled even, than was DR..
Lowell. "The university did not, indeed,
snow It's foresight In Its handling Of one
who, fifty years after. 1t was proud to make
its orator." writes Edward Everett Hale in
last Saturdays Boston Commonwealth.
THE tradition was that the government
were very unwilling to proceed to the harsh
est measures, but, at the very last, on the
central point OF pressing his attendance at
chapel-where he almost always found him.
self too late for entrance-he was suspended
from the college. and was not able himself
to read the poem which he had prepared for
Class Day. Well authenticated tradition
says that he witnessed the ceremony Of the
dance around the tree though the chinks Of
covered wagon in which he had ridden
from Concord. which was his place of ex-
ile." Lowell was not the first bright young
man OF future eminence to come to grief
In college; but few of them have suffered
punishment for such combination Of faults
as zeal for poetry and diliatoriuess at
prayers.

SLEEP IN SICKNESS

Concerning sleep, in connection with sick
ness, there is good deal of heresy regard
the matter. among otherwise well-informed
people. Don't let her sleep too longr' "Be
sure to wake him when it is time to give the
medicine; 1t will be great deal better for
him not to sleep too long at one time!" How
often we have heard these words, or words
to that effect. when In fact, in nine cases out
of ten, and very likely in ninety-nine out of
the hundred. they were the exact opposite of
the truth. Gentle, restful sleep Is better
than any medicine; aud how often, even
how almost invariably. does the .'change for
the better" for which anxious friends are
waiting SO prayerfuliy, come during sleep
making its first manifestation when the
patient awakes with bright4ned eyes,
stronger voice, a faint tiBge of returning

WATER AS A DIsINFEcTANr.
IL Is TACT tnat appears to be not generally
known, perhaps because 1t may not be
generally credited, that pure, fresh cold
water is one Of the most valuable of disin-
fectants, inasmuch as 1t is a powerful abb
sorbent. Every sick-room should have
large vessel of clear water, frequently re-
newed, placed not far from the bed, or esen
beneath It, This not only absorbs much of
the hurtful vannr hnt nv TIA avonoratio,, a.
softens and tempers the moisture, doing
away with the dryDess which is SO trying
and depressing TO an invalid-0r even to well
persons. for that matter. 1t has frequently
been shown, by actual experiment, that
troubled sleep and threatened insomnia are
co rected by SO simple a thing as the placing
OF an open bowl of water near the sufferers
couch. OF course, 1t hardly need be said,
after these matters have been considered for
moment, that water which has stood for
any length Of time in close room is not
proper for drinking purposes.-Good House.

The international labor Congress met yes
terday at Brussels. This assembly has be-
come one OF the recognized annual events of
importance in Europe. 1t is the annual
protest against the great standing armies and
high taxes Of the continental monarchies.
1t is the Congress of the brotherhood of the
laboring men OF Europe. or course its de.
alterations are not always marked by har-
mony. Indeed, they are generally notable
for discords. The English delegates, coming
from a country where they have large
degree If liberty, and practical exemption
from the burdens Of standing armies and
other despotic extortions. are far more con-
sentative than the soclalistic men from the
continental countries. One of the inter-
esting features Of the Congress is the deter
mination as to whether OF not the radical ele-
ments are to control 1t. This year they seem
likely to. and have already mapped out a
programme for the discussion of such sub
lects as the duty and position Of the work
ing classes with respect to militarism," and
the alliance of workingmen's socialist
parties with the middle class political par
ties" These subjects may be of interest to
the laboring men of the continent. But the
English delegates represent the trades unions
which are like the American orders. And
neither In England nor America. are socialIs-
tic ideas Of any practical interest as yet.
