The parade of Tuesday evening by our
victorious ''friends, the enemy" may
fairly be termed success from their
point of view. Democrats are hardly so

Well, having been confessedly and most
thoroughly licked, we can take our

meantime, vhenever it is their purpose
to burn red fire or let the eagle scream,
we hope their forts may be blessed with
fine weather and fair measure of sue

The Yale-Harvard football game at
Springfield excited an interest which was
countrywide. 1t is unfortunate that
Yale's victory is smirched by slugging
tactics which so curiously disabled Har-
wards tu strongest men, while an um
pire's decision is at least open to adverse
criticism. 1t is case where the losers
stand quite as well in the public opinion
as the winners, and rightly.
In speaking of Mrs. Mary E. Lease
who is proposed by Kansas as member

than any of her Populist colleagues in
"spellbinding;' she has suffered with
General Weaver the martyrdom of stale
eggs in Georgia and of deaths head no.

adroit, and her language is enough to
daunt an Ingalls, or an Ingersoll.
The tribute recently given by Attor-

The opinion exists that stranger things
might happen than the election of Mrs.
Mary E. Lease as United States senator
from Kansas. Mrs. Leases candidacy
has become a serious reality. Her popu-

ulist party will give her at least an equal
chance with other aspirants, especially
as there seems to be no constitutional
disqualification.

A Pathetic AnneuI.

A young barrister in his first case was
called upon to defend couple of deep
dyed villains for whom there was nc
chance Of escape. He wound up his ad-
dress to the jury as follows: Gentlemen,
there is in the south of France a small vii
lage of 200 inhabitants. In that village
there stands house; in that house there
live an aged couple with their only daugh-
ter. The old man is perusing paper with
feverish anxiety; the old lady is shedding
tears over her knitting; the young woman
sits at the window gazing wistfully at the
sky. They are waiting to hear the result
of this trial, which will cause them i'm
mense delight or profound despair, accord
ing as my case is won or lost. for that old
man is my father that aged woman is m!
mother and the young person is my sisterr

is due when the systems weakened,
and the blood impure. It's what
you must expect.
But it's what you must prevent,
too. And DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery prevents as well as
cures. 1t invigorates the liver and
kidneys, purifies and enriches the
blood, sharpens the appetite, i'm
proves digestion, and restores health
and strength. For Dyspepsia,
"Liver Complaint" and every form
of Scrofulous, Skin, or Scalp Dis
eases, as Salt-rheum, letter, Fry
sipelas, or any blood-taint, it's an
unequaled remedy.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,
which claim to be good for the
blood in March, April and May.
At all seasons alike, and in all cases,
the "Discovery" alone is guaran-
teed. If it doesn't benefit or cure,
you have your money back.
It's the cheapest blood-purifer, no
matter how many doses are offered
for a dollar, for you pay only for
the good you get. But it's the
best, or it couldn't be sold so.

leaders of the successful party. The
stranger in the gallery, especially if he be
from foreign country, is amazed at the
apparent friendlness and cordiality of the
relations existing between the leaders of
the rival parties. He cannot understand
it. He has been led to believe that Ameri-
can politicians are always fighting duels
or fisticufs or pulling each others hair.
And he finds them acting like brothers.
Possibly the minority members, the Re-
publicans, have a little the best of the
congressional situation. If + were going
to sit in congress-which heaven forbidl-
/ should want to sit on the minority side.
There is so much more fun in not being re-
sponsible for what happens, and instead
being able to find fault and kick and poke
fun at the fellow who is responsible and
fill his political hide full of holes.
As watched the meeting of the house
yesterday / thought l saw a suspicious
number of smiles of a somewhat sinister
nature lurking about the mouths of the
Hon. Thomas b. Reed and the Hon. julius
Caesar Burrows. Possibly they were think
ing OF the fun they are going to have when
tho Democrats in the coming congress get
seriously at the work of making tariff
bill. There is no rose without thorn, and
the thorn in the Democratic thumb at the
present writing is the danger that when
they make a tariff bill they will fail to
please the people in some way or other and
be thrown out into the cold and cheerless
street, as their predecessors were.
The crowds in the galleries yesterday
were evidently not thinking of the tariff
question and the future of the political
parties. The people have had SO much
politics of late and SO much tariff talk that
they must be quite willing to turn their
attention to something else. A large num-
ber Of the spectators were women, and the
interest of the women seemed to be CEN
tered in the personal appearance of the
statesmen. They chartered about Mr..
Durborow's fresh color, Mr.. Aliens whis-
kers, Mr.. Lodges neatly trimmed beard,
Mr.. Reeds increasing baldness, Mr.. Crisp's
accumulating girth and other trivialities
and personalities.
The women also appeared to be greatly
amused at the show of vanity which was
spread out before their eyes. 1t is not often
that they get an opportunity to see few
hundred successful and presumably strong
and sensible men acting very much like a
parcel of women who meet for the first
time after summers travel. And as to
the vanity of the lords of creation and
makers Of laws, think the case was very
well put by an elderly woman who sat next
the press gallery and after an hour or so
remarked to her companion: "a woman is
vain prettily. When man goes in for van
ity he wallows in it,"

Still the good natured members make an
effort, many of them giving that they may
receive payment in kind, and others ex-
tending congratulations effusively for the
purpose of making themselves conspicu-
GUS, until the floor becomes sort of clear
ing house of good opinions and compli-
mentary remarks. Every body appears to
be anxious to shake every other mans
hand, and there is wave of smiles and
a ripple of laughter, and sort of chorus
of sweet words fills the air. Some of it is
good nature, a little of it genuine friend
ship, but the greater part of it nothing
but vanity and selfshness and yearning
for conspicuity. That is what l thought
yesterday when looked down from the
press gallery at the first day of the second
session of the present congress.
The stranger in the galleries probably
expected to see the members on the Demo-
cratic side dancing jigs of joy about the
hall, making faces at their defeated foe
and slapping each other on the back, while
the representatives of the party which was
unsuccessful at the recent presidential
election sat glum and miserable in their
seats, watching the antics of their happier
brethren with i'll concealed disgust and
envy.
OF course nothing Of the sort occurred.
Probably the happiest men on the floor
were the Republican leaders. Mr.. Reed,
Mr.. Burrows, Mr.. Lodge and others min
gled their smiles with those of Speaker
Crisp, Mr.. Holman, Mr. Bynum and other
