Hold tho Fort.

There was no Saturday in the calendar Of
the Senate last week. Friday lasted till
what YVES six o'clock of Saturday outside Of
the Senate chamber: and still the Force bill
was not advanced. The Democratic Sena-
tors fought with persistence and patience
the wearisome but mono tho less glorious
battle; and II the struggle is to begin again
to-day their patience must not be exhaust
ed, and We are sure that their courage will
not fail. No matter II the continuous ses-
sion stretches through the week; no matter
II this Monday lasts until twelve o'clock on
March L; no matter II not worthy bill is
passed nor a single appropriation made.
Tho Democratic Senators have as good con-
stitutions and fully as much sand as the
Republicans; and they have more at stake
than they have ever had. They are fight
ing not merely for the control OF Congress
In 1892 and subsequent years, but for tho In

eminent. The continuous session Is meant,

Tho Unsettlement Of New Hampshire.

There could be no more striking illustra-
ton Of the decadence Of the rural towns Of
New England than Is afforded by the census
returns for New Hampshire In the whole
State the increase OF population is reported
at 2e.5 $50 since 1880. or eight and one-half per
cent; but moro than two-thirds OF this In.
creased is accounted for by the growth Of thrse
cities, Manchester. Concord. and Nashua.
There are two hundred and forty-nine
towns and cities in New Hampshire. and ono
hundred and ffty.four Of these. or about
sixty-two per cent, show an actual decrease
in population during the past ton years. In

Ono OF the diversions In the way Of special
legislation that have hitherto taken mp much
OF the time OF Congress has been that OF
changing the names OF vessels. It has often
seemed preposterous. In the midst OF an over.
worked session, to 6nd both Houses called
upon to consider and decide whether the name
Of the Sally Ann shall be altered to Betsy Jane.
And vet tho necessity Of the Intervention Of
Congress IN such cases has been insisted on.
lest otherwise It should become too easy to
procure Q change Of name. and also lest 1t
should be accomplished with too little pub
licity. But the House has passed bill this
year allowing the Commissioner OF Navigation
to change the names OF vessels that are sss-
worthy. free from debt and liens, Of good rso-
ord and reputs and possessing certain speci-
ned ratings, provided there are substantial

John WauemAker was not far away during

Ator to understand In pretty plain language
that It was neither himself nor the Plumed
knight but Don Cameron that knitted Della

come for Qusy's revenge. 1t was even init
mated. As the story goes, that II there was any
obstacle to Quay's activity In the way OF recu-

Probably few people are aware that before
this addition to the list the Indian depreciation
claims pending had reached over S2000O.000.
They dated back eighty years and were more
than 6.000 In number. Tho oldest was Of the

number prior to 1s41 was only ninety-six.
amounting to 1884, 1893. 40 that the great bulk Of
them are included within the last 1fty years.

passed In 1895. provided that the agent Of any
tribe committing depredations should demand
satisfaction Of tho tribe and that II this WAS not
accorded within eighteen months the Govern
ment might assume the claim and deduct IL
amount from the annuity payable to them.
This was rather . summary sort Of procedure.
Not quito forty years afterward Il occurred to
Congress to provide that claims should be bar
red unless presented within three years from
the date Of the injury complained Of. Shortly
before the civil war further step was taken In
relieving the Government from any obligation
TO pay such claims while leaving the snnulties
