THIS WEEK In CONGRESS.
POLITICAL ISSUES LIKELY TO BE
MADE UP.

Members OF the House May Be AL
Hgned on the Silver Question-The
Economical Policy of the Democratic
Senators Also Apt to Be Defined.
The Public Printing Bill Sure TO Be
Attacked.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A-There are indi-
cations that this week will be notable in
congressional annals as one in which polit-
ical issues were made up. In the House
there may be an ALIGNMENT Of members
on the silver question, and it is probable
that in the Senate will be defined the
economical policy Of the democrats as
sequence of the programme adopted by the
majority in the House. The bill providing
for public printing and binding, which
is the pending business in the Senate, will
probably be attacked in a section creating
new oftice-that of superintendent Of
public documents-and indeed the demo-
cratic senators are disposed to question the
statements made by the majority Of the
committee TO the effect that the entire bill
is in the interest OF economy. The debate
on the measure is expected to occupy several
days this week.
THE PADDOCK PURE FOOD BILL
The Paddock bill TO prevent adulteration
OF drugs and misbranding of drugs and
food stands next in order Of the measures to
be considered, but it is possible that it may
be antagonized by the Idaho senatorial
election case Of Claggett VS.. Dubois 1t is
improbable that both Of these matters can
be passed upon this week, but if it should be
otherwise Mr.. Vest will call up his bill pro-
vidlng for the erection Of public buildings
for postofilces in towns and cities whers
the receipts exceed So 900 annually.
The urgent deficiency bill will also be
called up at the first opportunity.

In the House.


Il Is probable that the inject Of appro-
priations will be the principal topic of dis
cussion in the House during the week, un-
less the silver question should be forced to
the front. Tomorrow is suspension day" ="
and there are several bills on the calendar
which their friends believe can secure the
two-thirds vote necessary for their passage
Chairman Wise of the committee on In
terstate and foreign commerce will en-
deavor, either by suspension of the rules
or by consideration in the morning hour, to
pass the bill to permit railroads to give spe-
cial rates to commercial travellers.
INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
1t is the intention of the Indian appro-
priations committee TO call up the Indian
appropriation bill early in the week, and
its consideration may operate to postpone
all other measures as the large reductions
made in the bill from the act of the last
congress will not be permitted to go un-
challenged.
Friday will be devoted to private claims,
unless the subject Of appropriations should
interfere with the ordinary procedure.
The rules committee has several resolu>
tions before it and the proceedings of this
committee will be of special interest in
view Of the fact that one Of the resolutions
is that introduced by Mr.. Bland, making
the silver bill a special con-
tinuing order in Che House. The
silver men are striving to have the order
reported at an early day. AS soon as this
resolution is reported an interesting parlia-
mentary struggle will begin, and shonld
there be much delay in the rules committee
the fight will be precipitated, without
awaiting action by the rules committee, on
a request to make the silver bill special
order

GEoRGIA's COTTON CROP.
A Reduction of IS Per Cent. In the
Acreage Counted on.

a ReQuctlon or 10 Fer Cent. In the
Acreage Counted on.
MACON, GA. Feb. 14.-Some time since
the Telegraph mailed inquiries to every
cotton raising county in Georgia asking for
estimates on the cotton acreage for the
present year. Replies were received from
a large majority of these correspondents
will publish the result. The replies indi-
cate general reduction of the acreage
devoted to cotton throughout the state of
about 20 per cent as compared with the
crop of last year. Considering the early
date at which these estimates were
made the Telegraph will say that a oon-
servative estimate will make the crop at
least Is per cent. less than that of last year.
The acreage devoted to cotton heretofore
will be this year devoted 10 corn, wheat,
peas and other food crops.
TOBACCO CULTURE.
Tobacco culture will also claim attention
from Georgia farmers, and In some counties
where the experiments have proven success
full large crop will be planted-for in
stance in Decatur county, where it has
been demonstrated that cigar tobacco may
he very successfully produced. The acre
age this year will be at least 5000 acres.
The amount of commercial fertilizers
used this year will be fully 80 per cent. less
than last year, and this gives emphasis to
the estimated reduction OF the cotton crop,
as it is almost out of the question 70 raise a
successful cotton crop in portions OF the
state without their use

HOPE is the handspring of life. If
hope be gone men and women may
finger in a half-existence that is not
life and often is scarcely preferable to
death. II hope be present to supply the
recoil with every shock of adverse cir
cumstance. life often to such an one
seems better worth living than II there
were no difficulties to be overcome.
This Is probably because OF the con-
slant intellectual activity required to
adapt ones self to each changed rela-
ton as it may arise, SO as to get as
much good and as little injury from it
as possible. Making the best OF every
thing, or active hopefulness, as il may
be termed. is therefore the secret of
successful living.

Forcing Chickens.

There is no profit in allowing the
chickens TO come 10 maturity slowly.
but rapid growth should be forced
from the start until they are ready
for market This is the natural con
dition OF the biped. and IL given the
proper care and food IT will forge
ahead rapidly 1t Is doubtful it
after all the forcing systems when
ludicially followed are not the normal
methods Of raising chickens Those
which have been forced in their
growth have richer. julcier and
tenderer meat than the ones that have
been allowed to grow according to
their own will. They sell better In
the market eat less really in the
long run, and return moro profit to
the owners
The young bipeds must be treated
to course OF food for forcing accord
ing TO their different ages. When
very young they need food that 1s
easily digested and assimillated, and
at the same time food that is very
nourishing. Raw eggs beaten into
bread crumbs probably form the ideal
food for them. and generally this can
be provided by taking the sterile eggs
from the incubator. Steamed or
rolled oats is also excellent growing
food, and the young chicks will
delight in picking at these. Later
on. after they have been fed on the
oats. 1t will be we'll 10 boil wheat for
them. and this will force their growth
SO rapidly that every day will make
great difference in their size and
weight Cooked potatoes and cooked
vegetables will also be OF value TO
them, and they should be given oc-
casionally along with their more
nourishing food. II Is essential how
ever. that everything that is given to
them for the first eight or ten weeks
should be cooked. Cooking their
meat always hastens its nourishfne
power and greatly forces the growth
OF the birds.
After this period less cooked food
and more green stuff can be feed to
them. They can be allowed TO run
around in the grass and leaves to pick
up insects and green leaves but II
they are shut up in pens it is ncces-
sEry to give them scalded clover
leaves in bran or middlings This
clover mixes up the fine food and pre-
venss indigestion. II bran and mid
dlings are given without some bulky
food such as clover they will soon be
suffering from stomach troubles
