CONGRESS TINE OF MEETING.
The Proposition That Congress Meet I'm
1nediately After Its Election

mediately After Its Election.
WASHINGTON, Special, Jan. 26.-Repre-
sentative Blanchard of Louisiana has pro-
posed a measure for changing the time
when congress shall meet. 1t provides
that future congresses shall hold their
first sessions i'll December following the
November elections. This has been agitated
for some time past, the reason given Tor the
charge bcicr:-: hot mcrcc th::a year e!apses
rom the time COZ .-cs is A"ctei u....;;i ~
convenes, and that the sentiment OF the
country is undergoing change in that
year, and the issues which the congress was
elected on have been greatly modified
There Is coed Sc:l Of tru;l. in this, and
if the c,:::ssrcs that was elected in 1888
could have assembled in December of tha5
year, passed its tariff legislation and had
the law in operation in 1889 and 1890 pre-
vious to the November elections in
1880, tue chances are that the results
OF those elections would have been consid-
erably different. and the nisrepre>en atoms
of the Mckinney bill would have had but
very little effect OH the people themselves
would have had all opportunity to know
exactly what the law Was, and how it al.
tected them. Il.
Then a-ain. it the congress which was
elecie III 1899 could have assembled in De-
cember year ago. Roger Q. Mills would
have been elected speaker witt,

would have been put through.
netting could have prevented
tree coinage from passing the house and
senate, a.l,: the issues Tor the canlpaicn in
1892 would lave been adjusted year in
advance of tho time Of The election, and
the people would have had better oppor-
tunitv III understand clearly what was best
Tor Them. and which party would best
serve their interests.
Mr. Btachard continues to fix the meet
ing upon the same dates as at present, but
there Is another advantage in having this
change made. The short session would not
be like it Is now, OF three months dura-
ton, i'll which Legislation Is to

BLIIiSK BLUSTER,
Some Unfavorab!e Comments Upon the
Presidents Message r.


LONDON. Jan. 26.-AIl the daily papers
OF this city publish long editor
ials commenting upon the message
sent by President Harrison to the Amer
lean congress explaining the present status
of dispute between the governments Of
the United States and Chile. Following
are some the expressions:
The News: 1t is hard to see how Chilli can
possibly deny that the circular OF Foreign
Minister Malta was offensive to the
United States government No false pride
should restrain the Chi.eanS from disa vowing
this act OF an indiscreet minister and so paving
the way Tor Il settlement of their own scores
against America.
The Chronicle: Mr.. Harrison's declaration
that America does not covet territory ought
not to be taken as a pledge. but rather as an in
genlous device to allay suspicious not wholly
groundleSs. 1t remains to be seen what the
Pan Anericanism OF Mr. Blaine and his friends
will be content with
The Daily Telegraph: Impartial Americans
must acknowledge that Chile has some justiica-
ton Tor its irrltation. 1t is extremely unlikely
that Chile will venture 10 DEFY the power OF
America. There only needs to be a little ex-
tension OF tho spirit OF compromise and conciia
ton which Chic has already exhibited to
move the differences between tire two countries
speedily and peaceab.y.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Special Telegram,
Jan. 26.--1t has just leaked out that on last
Friday night an attempt was made to either
tlow up Judge Condt'S house with dvna-
mite or to burn it down. Saturday morn
ing the judge discovered what he took to
be two large common crackers placed in
some straw banking at one corner or his
house. Closer examination proved that
both had long fuse which had peen
lighted, but went out by coming i'll contact
evidently with ice.
He did not touch them, but went to his
Office and sent word to some of his friends,

surprised when it was ionnd the internal

seems almost incredible. The judge is nat
urally quite nervous over the affair."

CRUELTY IN THE NAVY.
Such Thing Is Very Rare and There
Was None on the Kesrsarge.

The story that has been going
the rounds of the i'll treatment of
the seamen on the Kearsarge in Savan-
nah last week has brought forth an inquiry
as to the truth Of the rumor. Lieut.. T. H.
Sherman in charge of the photographic
! office, who is the only representative OF the
navy IN Savannah, says there is not the
slightest truth in the story. Lieut.. Sher-
man says he has never, except in "A single in
stance, that Of Capt. McCalla on the Enter
prise, known Of a case of cruelty in the
| navy.
The rules and regulations Of the navy are
very rigid on that point and any violation,
however slight, Is thoroughly investigated
ana II there IS the slightest foundation a
o'rt-martial invariably follows with the
saVerest punishment. AS to there being any
cruel treatment on board the hearsarge
Lieut.. Sherman says there is not the first
truth in it. The Kearsarge lay at a dock
while in Savannah, thing that is unusual
"lth naval vessel The men had oppor-
tunitles they are nos often accorded of going
ashore and they made the most OF them.
1t is not generally known that within the
last two years twenty or moro naval ep-
prentices have enlisted from Savannah ald
are serving their time either on the mp
prentice ship in New York are On board
some of the cruisers. The enlistmeuts have
been made through the aid OF Lieut.. Saer-
man. The apprentices have ia every in
stance made application to him and he has
forwarded their papers to Washington. The
minimum age at which an enlistment can
re made in the navy Is II years. The time
until the apprentice is 81 is served in con-
necuon with the apprentice ship. Then he
becomes full iledgel seamen. Lieut.. Sher-
man has made no effort to enlist naval re-
cruits and it is not part of his duties,
but in cases where applications have
been made to him ne has forwarded the ap-
plicotions with the applicants recommends
tions. The enlisted apprentices, Lieut..
Sherman says, SO far as he knows are salts
fled with their enlistments and are delighted
with the navy.
1t was said that couple of seamen de-
serted from the kearsarge while she was in
Savannah. This was not the case, however.
The seamen were on shore and mistook the
hour OF sailing Of the cruiser and were LETT
They reported to the authorities and Lieut.
Sherman vas directed to forward them TO
their vessel, which he did the day after and

be bad idea also to make party wards or
DIVISIONS OF the county instead of using the
militia districts which are proving so incon-
venient. For instance, Tybee might con-
solidate, one ward, Thunderbolt another,
Pooler another, montieth another, and so on
ailotting a ward TO each community where
there are in the neighborhood of fifty
voters.
1t has been suggested that the executive
committee could be elected by such a con-
veution hereafter and save the trouble of
holding mass meetings in each of the dis
tricts for the purpose.
While it would require some little trouble
and labor TO start the plan there is no reason
why II should not prove satisfactory. All
business Of the party would be transacted
by convention of representatives from
each section and community of the city
and county, and every portion would be
represented.
THE WARD PRIMARIES.
The ward primaries could be very easily
held, as with the small number of voters in
each ward every voter would be known to
the managers and only those having a right
to would be allowed to participate.
The selection of representatives to the
general convention of the county would re-
quire a very short time, and a half hour
perhaps would suffice for the transact of
ali the business coming before the ward
meeting.
The idea is to allow one repre-
sentative in the convention to
each fifty votes in the ward or as near that
as possible. Each ward would be entitled
to one representative. Any ward having
between seventy-ivs and one hundred
votes would be entitled to cwo representa-
Uives, or between l25 and $50 votes 50 three
representatives, and so on.
The plan is worthy of the consideration Of
the democratic voters of the county.
