The Meeting of Congress,

The 52nd CongrC>, assembled at Washington
on Monday last 1t was preceded by bitter
contest among the Democrat, for the Speaker
ship prize, which finally went to Mr.. Crisp, of
Georgia. His principal opponent was Mills, Of
Texas, pronounced advocate Of free trade
and free silver. and no les extreme in his
southern views. Yet he had the support of
the Mugwumpian and Democratic contingent
from Massachusetts. Apart from hi radical
ism On these i>>ues Mr.. Mills i probably the
most unfit man in the present House to pre-
side over deliberatye body. He lacks bal
anee and cannot control his temper. Mr.. Crisp
i more diplomatic, and has more executive
ability. but in sentiment probably does not diff
fer III the least If N the fiery Texan. The
contest was Notable from the fact that it was
preliminary >kirni>h for the Presidential noml-
nation. Mr. Mills was the candidate of Mr..
Cleveland. and was backed by his friends;
while Crisp had the support of GOV. Hill, of
senator German. and last, but not least, of
Tammany. The result has simply strengthen
ell the hold Of the latter organization upon the
National Democracy. 1t now controls the
House and from present indications will con-
trol the southern delegations in the national
convention

MHDURA, VICTORIA Aus, Oct. %, 1891
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: have the
pleasure of informing you that one of your coun-
Try men, a member of our mounted police force,
has done one of the most heroic acts ever known
In these Colonies. He has been presented with a
gold medal for bravery in saving a young woman s
life in a large fire had here. After the whole
building was on lire young woman was discover
ed at the top of the house. All the other men on
the ground refused to enter the house. so Corporal
Herman entered the flames, and a while after we
saw something take hold of the woman, and fifteen
mAutes later the brave hero came from the house
with her In his arms. He was badly, but not dan.
gerously, burned. Well, Sir this man was Heze-
Khan HERMAN, of Stockton Springs, Maine, now
known as the great hero of Australia.
Yours truly, T.. j. BARNES
