The Fitty-second Congress.

The Fifty-Second Congress will meet on
Monday next. After the swearing In OF
the members, the election of Speaker will
be the first business, then the drawing for
seats will follow.
What will be the main features OF the
session. has not yet been foreshadowed, nor
can they be now. 1t is probable an ava
lanch of bills will be presented, upon all
conceivable subjects, some wise but the
great bulk of them otherwise.
As nothing can be accomplished In the
way of a reduction of federal taxation as
long as there is Republican Senate and
President. or in effecting reforms in the
government, it would be useless to bring
forward measures to effect the one or cor
rect the other. The Democratic position
could be emphasized by so doing, but 1t Is
too well-known to need calculation or
further demonstration.
We believe it would be as well for the
Democrats to closely scrutinize the esti-
mates sent in by the departments, lop off
all needless expenditures, pass the appro-
priation bills and such other measures as
may be necessary and stop there. Then
let them 20 before the country next year
upon the issue of tax reduction, and I'M
press upon the people the fact that there
can be no relief from burdensome taxation
and class legislation until they elect a Dem
ocratic President and Senate as well as
House. The revolution of 1890, which
resulted in turning the majority in the
House, only put an end to the career Of
Reed as Speaker and his arbitrary rules
and business methods" and was public
protest against the extravaganza OF Con
gress which in its two short years spen
over n billion of dollars.

Farewell our loving mother dear
Thy Sainted spirit now has fled;
Thy cares and SORROWS are all over,
Thou art numbered with the dead.
Rest, our mother, rest in Jesus love;
Thy body in the tomb,
Thy spirit with the saints above,
Until the Saviour come.
Then in beauty shalt thou rise,
Arrayed in robes divine,
TO meet thy kindred in the skies
And with the angels shine.
No more shall aching pain annoy,
No longer shalt thou grieye;
But thine is eternal Joy,
With Jesus now TO live.
Why should we weep for those who die.
Those blessed ones who weep no more;
Jesus hath called them to the skies,
And gladly have they gone before.
How happy are the saints above
Who once went sorrowing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without tear.

Lieutenant Foote on Pensions

Are the present pension-laws degrading
to patriotism? Is it a wrong principle
whereby the pension-roll continues after
thirty six years from the close of the war
to increase? Is tia wrong system whereby
a whole army of pension-agents has come
into existence and themselves secured vast
fortunes by adding thousands of names to
the roll of pensioners These questions are
taken up in the December Forum by Lieut.
Allen II. Foote, veteran volunteer and
pensioner, who appeals to his comrades IN
the strongest language to protest against
the DEGRADATION of character by pension
system that implies pauperism In the pen
sioners and rests on the supposition that
the volunteers sold their patriotism. Lieut..
Foote by his volunteer service through the
whole war has earned the right to SPEAK.
He is the founder of the Society of Loyal
Volunteers-an organization originated to
protest against the present system ana TO
effect change in the present law.
This protest by an old soldier of honor
able record, who regards the present system
as degrading and appeals to his comrades
to wage another war, requiring Il higher
courage than the civil war-this time
against the degradation of veterans sud the
cheapening of patriotism-is sure to pro
woke great discussion. It's announced by
The Forum that it will be followed by
other articles on the same subject. We
give some extracts from the article else

No Stnte Appropriation.

The matter of a Maryland exhibit at the
chicago fair is being much discussed by
the state press and individuals, and an ap-
preparation by the Legislature is generally
advocated We do not know of any clause
in the Constitution that would warrant an
appropriation for any such purpose In
dividuals, firms and corporations who wish
to advertise their manufactures should bear
their own expense. The farmers Of the
state, who desire the strictest economy in
public expenses, have nothing to exhibit.
There are cheap lands in the market, but
these could not well be exhibited, and
description of them, with their location and
productive qualities, together with a de-
scription of the state and its climate, will
no doubt be printed and put out by farm
ers' associations, real estate firms and de-
velopment companies.
There is no question that Maryland, if
III all 1T liC IAN ollpulu W
well represented. A poor exhibit would
be worse than none. But still, the state
should not be depended upon. Organiza
ton and cooperation among those who have
anything to exhibit can accomplish more
and more economically than can be done
by the state. When the state is the pay
master expense is not considered; and an
appropriation by the Legislature in 1892
would certainly have to be followed by
another in 1894. History of such schemes
demonstrates that public appropriations
never hold out. Chicago, in the present
instance, was granted by Congress all that
the committee estimated for, but the com
mittee will appeal to the Congress soon to
assemble for an appropriation of some five
millions of dollars more This will be
asked as loan, but it will result in a gift,
if the request of the committee is complied
with

The Speakership contest is the upper
most subject of discussion in Washington.
The leading candidates are Mills of Texas,
Crisp of Georgia and Springer of Illinois.
All feel confident of success, and several
dark horses also feel confident. The AID
vocATE has expressed its preference for
Springer, as the best selection in party
sense, and we still hold to that belief. A
caucus of the Democratic members will be
held this afternoon to nominate candidates
for Speaker and other officers of the House,
and the rivalry for the places will soon be
at an end

Terms of County Commissioners.


Much misunderstanding exists as to the
meaning of the new amendment to the
Constitution concerning the terms of Coun-
ty Commissioners. The new amendment
supersedes the clause in the Constitution
on this subject, and there i no definite
term for tn Commissioners elected last
moath until the Legislature acts. Their
terms shall not exceed six years, and there
is no limit to the number. Counties that
so desire can have the same arrangement
as at present Those that have five Com
missioners, can have five under the amend
ment. The Legislature will doubtless act
in accordance with the wishes of the local
representatives. Carroll will ask for six
year terms, the legislature to fix the terms
of the recently elected Commissioners at
two, four and six years, and provide for
the election of one Commissioner every two
years hereafter for six-year term. This
arrangement would insure two experienced
men in every board.

Social life in the Ancient City by the
Severn, this winter, may be expected to
rival that of the palmiest days of the olden
time. The Legislature and the Court of
Appeals will be in session, and many dis
linguished persons from all parts of the
State will be present. The officers of the
Naval Academy will also add to the gaiety
Of the Capital. Carroll will be well repre-
sented. Governor and Mrs. Brown know
how to dispense the most generous hosri-
tally, after the most approved Maryland
fashion. and the Governors mansion will
doubtless be the scene Of some of the most
brilliant fetes tina. ever distinguished the

pronounees him well man, and that he
will '.be better six months hence" His
recovery is attributed to the exercise of
common sense, rather than medicine. He
now takes much exercise, and "grown to
like it, says his physician. If Mr., Blaine
continues to get better after being "a well
man, aud continues to grow in fondness
for exercise. he will be too robust and rest

Literary Notes.

The following tribute to the work of an Ameri-
can magazine is contained in the report of the Sec
rotary of the Interior just submitted to Congress:
"Iour attention is also requested to the paper con-
tributed by Mr.. John Muir to the number of The
Century illustrated Monthly Magazine for Novem-
Der, 1891 entitled A Rival of the Yosemte-the
Canon of the South Fork of Kings River, California
1t furnishes maps of this section and is illustrated by
most admirable engravings of the wonderful
scenery there existing. The engravings are chiefly
from the pencil of Mr.. Charles D. Robinson. These
gentlemen, as well as the editors of The Century,
especially Mr.. johnson, have taken great personal
interest in the forest in California and
worthy of great consideration, both from their ex-
perience and intelligence. The magazine article
mentioned advocates the extension of the Sequoia
National Park so to embrace the Kings River re-
gion and the Kaweah and Tule Sequoia groves
The boundaries are there set forth. The subject is
recommended, to your favorable consideration and
action"
