The Coming Congress.

Al few weeks more will bring
the Fifty-second Congress, in
some respects a peculiar body,
differing from any of its pre-
cedessors. IL will represent a
reaction from the result of the
presidential year Of 1888. One
Of the most interesting issues
before this Congress will be
that of free coinagaof silver.
The free coinage men are as
sumed to be in a great majority
in the Democratic party and in
Congress as a body. But the
very existence Of this majority
as Il practical force in legisla-
tion depends on conditions. The
policy of the two parties will
be modified or rather shaped by
their supposed exigencies in the
campaign of 1892. As it con-
trolls the popular house of Con-
gress and is likely in the condi-
tion of affairs to take the initia-
tive, the Democratic party's
plan of action will be one Of Pc
culiar interest. The drift of
affairs for a few weeks to come
may indicate what will be its
financial policy. The election
OF Speaker may decide the
whole question, and on the
other hand the factions may
compromise their differences in
the choice of that officer. The
constitution Of the committee
on coinage weights and meas
ures will 60 very far toward
settling the attitude of the par
ty. Hardly anything can at this
time be safely predicted con-
cerning the action of the House.
No reliable information is
furnished either by the known
views Of the candidates or by
any assurance Of the result of
the speakership fight, and
speculation is consequently use
less, lacking q foundation.
Comparatively few members
Of Congress have yet reached
Washington, but the skirmish
line in the speakership fight is
being thrown out about the
Capitol and a great deal OF pre-.
llminary burning of powder has
begun. In a few days the fight
win be on in deadly earnest.
Most Of the candidates will have
their headquarters formally es-
tablished within ten days, and
the champions Of each side are
getting ready for the final
struggle. /.

Editors and others who are
in the daily habit Of handling

look out for a very dangerous

about it. The seal is small and
scalloped, having q reddish

Two Wpoinys.

A youth who was poeticai.
With hairand eyes festhetical-
Who wore lilyon his breast.
Who looked about one-third
undressed,
Once came to the conclusion
that q wooing he would 60.
But SO rare was his divinity
To him-e'en vicinity
Was hedged with awe more
than with love,
AS If she had dropped from
above;
In fact, she terrified him SO he
dare not whisper-"boo!"
So with a pale persistence,
He worshiped at a distance;
In gentle; aromatic showers:
Used all but what she needed
an agile arm and tongue.
Then the time dragged on la
boroiously, 49,. %
Until there came uproariously
A rude stalwart man, who
swore, I'D ..-s ~
He lovedher more and more,
And kissed her most irrev'rent
till she sighed and to him
clung.

A New Food.

We are to have a new article
of food in the United States. 1t
is the bulbs of the Gala, COM
monty known as the calla lily.
The flower of this plant is beau.
tiful enough to give it a reason
for being without anything else,
but its bulbous roots are very
edible, and the plant will grow
in the open ground in the south
ern part of the Union. Florida
farmers are already planting it
by the acre. 1t propagates it.
self in great abundance. The
edible tuber must first be boiled
to rid it of the acrid, Indian
turnip taste that burns the
tongue when the root is raw.
After being thus boiled the tuber
may be fried, roasted or hashed
with cream. 1t is entirely pal
atable and tastes somewhat ike
a potato, except that it is more
mucilagInous. Time was when
the tomato was grown solely
for ornament. Will a like fate
overtake the beautiful and
stately Gala? In swamps is
where the Gala most delights
to grow.

Educational Campaigns.

Observation-Disclosures" is a
favorite phrase in the mouths of
writers and speakers, used in
reference TO the political con-
tests of the past two or three
years. Political campaigns
might be educational, and as a
matter of fact always would be-.
only for the unfairness of the
human mind where its interests
or prejudices are concerned.
All may be fair in love and war,
but all is not fair in the field of
argument and opinion, far from
it.
Whichever side of q question
an arguer is on, ought to know
that one of the first rules of
logic is to concede to the OPP
posing side all the facts that
fairly belong to it, with their
proper inferences. But the style
Of political argument too much
in vogue has been to seize on
two facts that exist side by side
and claim one as the consequ.
ence Of the other. 1t is as the
logician should say, "a horse
has four legs; q table has four
legs, therefore a table is q
horse"
Ii the cause of university ex-
tension advances in America as
is expected, then we may hoIe
in time TO hear orators that are
fair in argument, letting facts
go for what they are worth and
knowing how to use them. Then
political campaigns will indeed
be educational. The man who
distorts facts has a grayer re-
sponsibility to shoulder than he
perhaps thinks. What man.
kind needs most for the prog.
ress Of the race is TO get rid Of
prejudice, and not twist facts
to the side of their passions or
interests. The man who know
ingly appeals to ignorance or
prejudice among the masses Q
therefore does incalculable in
jury.
Therefore don't rise above
party, but be far and square in
argument.

Good and ryI. omens.

If you pay out money on
Monday morning you will pay
out money all the rest of the
week. It is unlucky to spill
salt at the table, and to rub q
hunchback will bring luck to
any immediate project you have
in view.
To leave the house and then
suddenly return to it is consid-
cred a bad omen. This Is q
very old superstition, buta very
common one with us. Laodam
ia refers toit in her letter to
Hrotesilaus after he had left for
the Trojan war.
Some years ago / asked q
neighbor 10 haul a dead horse
from the premises. He declared
If he did so one of his own
horses would die within q year.
| reasoned him out of the su-
perstition, anl he removed the
horse. Strange to say, one OF
the span of horses which he used
for the purpose died shortly af-
terward.

). A Divorce Colony.

In writing q sketch OF some OF
the well known individuals who
have fed to Sioux Falls, s. d.,
to reside until the law of that
young state shall release them
from CALLING matrimonial
chains, Mr.. James Realf, Jr.,
believes that he has rendered
humanity a service. The col
onists are of his opinion, too,
and are,so thoroughly in sympa-
thy with his efforts to set them
right that several of the num-
Der permit him to publish In
The Arena along with his con-
tribution their portraits. Among
these is young Mrs. James G.
Blaine. Jr., whose pathetic
story Of illness and domestic in
felicity is more or less familiar
TO our readers. To add to this
young lady, m'sfortunes, while
she was recovering from rheu-
matism she met with an acci-
dent which left her with a brok-
en- leg, so that she is probably
famed for life.
"A beautiful Englishwoman
was one Of the ladies at Sioux
Falls. The inhuman treatment
of her husband, an officer in the
British army, drew her to A

posed TO be suffering from a
mortal disease Either the
shock of it or the fact that there
was o prospect Of his getting
free caused him to recover
rapidly, and he, too, became one
of the divorce colonists at Sioux
Falls.
Mr.. Realf sums up his case as
follows:

An OF Year for Political Far
mers.

An explanation for the de-
cline Of the Farmers Alliance
as a political factor is not far to
seek. The 550,000,000 bushels
of wheat in the country all in
good demand at fair prices and
ether crops in proportion fur
nish all the explanation needed.
Real farming pays better than
politics. The real farmers have
been raising big crops this year
and are too busy taking care of
them and getting them to mark
ct to have any time for political
farming, while the political
farmers are too few in number
to become a factor without the
votes and support of the real
farmers.
Last year Kansas produced
Jerry Simpson and the long
bearded Senator PETER, who
made SO much noise for a time
that the world real y supposed
that Kansas had abandoned
wheat-growing and gone to
producing windy statesmen
chiefly. This year Kansas has
grown nearly $1,000, 900 bushels
of wheat, and corn and oats in
proportion. and Sockless Jerry
and Whiskered PETER are
scarcely heard of at all. The
Kansas farmers are getting dol
lars for their grain and paying
off their martgages With their
dollars and finding out that
there are more dollars in wheat
and corn-growing in one year
than in all the political farming
that can be done in a lifetime.
What Kansas farmers have
found out all the other real far
mers in the country have learn
ed, and the reign of the Simp
sons and PETERS seems to have
ended before it had well begun.
Real farming is an old, a luc-
crative and an honorable call
ing political farming seems to
profitable only in off years, and
even then only to the few who
farm chiefly with their mouths.
