THE NEWS OF CONGRESS.
what the Senate and House Are Doing
for the Country.

for the Country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-At the joint ses-
sion of the immigration committees of the
senate and house it was shown that there
was general feeling in favor of suspend
ing all immigration to this country for
periods varying from one to five years.
Senator Quay said that it was the unani-
nous opinion of the committee which had
taken testimony in New York and else
where on the subject that immigration
should be entirely suspended.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The house passed
the army appropriation bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-A very strong
presentation in favor of the claimant in
the famous McGarrahan case was made in
the senate by Mr.. Hunton, of Virginia.
Mr.. George brought to close his three
days speech in favor of the antioption bill,
and Mr.. Washburn made determined but
fruitless effort to have a day next week
fixed for vote upon it.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The senate passed
bills authorizing the sale of the lands of the
Brooklyn navy yard and of the lands in the
vicinity of Fort Mifflin, Del. Mr.. Bate
made IA speech i'll favor of the bill author
izing the employment of federal supervisors
and special deputies at elections. An effort
was made by Mr.. Black burn to have the
Hudson river bridge bill taken up. AS
that would have had the parliamentary
effect of sidetracking the antioption bill,
the effort was successfully resisted by Mr.,
Washburn and the friends of the latter
measure
Mr. Blackburn's motion was slated by
the very decisive vote of 13 to Al. The anti
option bill was then taken up and was I'M
der consideration until the time of adjourn
ment, when it went over without action.
Mr. Palmer made an argument against
it, chiefly on the constitutional ground that
congress had no power to define and punish
by legislation criminal offenses in states,
such power resting exclusively in the states
themselves.
The house adjourned without acting on
any important measure. One of the Dem
ocratic leaders of the house stated that none
would be passed until after the holiday
recess.

A BRILLIANT RAILROAD COUP.
New York and New England Buys the
Connecticut River Road.

Boston, Dec 17-The action of Vice
President +. ii. Prince, of the New York
and New England railroad, in purchasing
the Connecticut River railroad after it had
been unanimously leased by the directors
and turned over to the operating depart
ment Of the New Haven road is regarded
as one of the most brilliant coups ever
made in the New England railroad field
The Connecticut River road is the main
north and south artery of central New
England, and its acquisition would have
been of value to almost any line in New
England, from the Canadian Pacific to the
New Haven road. Its lease by the New
Haven was another direct blow at the New
York and New England, which the New
Haven has so long desired at its own price

The Worthington advance., 1892-08-11

Within tho last eight months have Travelled
extensively through the States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michiyan, llli-
nois Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
In conversation with hundreds OF farmers and
business men in each one Of these States,
have learned that the verdict is nearly unani-
nous that land has been increasing in value
steadily for nearly two years past.
In Kansas visited twenty counties. The
people met have assured me that land will
,o-dav bring from IS to $9 more per acre than
lit would TWO years ago. The statements
made in Nebraska have been to the same effect.
In Iowa the improvement in price is still
higher. In the vicinity OF Atlantic CityI was
assured by trustworthy men that farming
lands are fully SIS an acre higher than they
were in 1889, and that sales are much more
readily m de, at those advanced prices, than
prices of that date.
In Wisconsin the rise is just as pronounced,
but the increase is not so great per acre.
In Michigan the advance is marked, but not
Iso large as in Illinois.
In Ohio, after visiting thirty OF her counties,
I am able to state that farming lands in that
State have risen in value between S. and SIS
per acre within two years. The tone of the
Ohio farmers has entirely changed within that
short period. They have ceased to be de-
spondent aud are now full of courage and
hope.
In New York and Pennsylvania the i'm.
provement Is not as great as in the West yet
there is decided change lor the better In
these two States also. From my personal OBJ
servution, am able to state that times are
more promising, and that there is prosperity
in store for men who till the soil.-R q. Ho,7:
