Eighteen Senators were absent from
their places including Senators Glib
son, of Louisiana, and Kenna, of
West Virginia, who are seriously
i'll; Senators Hill and Hiscock, of
New York: and Senators Allison of
Iowa, and Jones, Of Nevada. who
are in Brussels attending the mone-
tary conference.
After the opening prayer by
Chaplain Butler, Senator Morrill,,
(Rep.. of Vermont), presented tie
certificates of election of his col
league, Senator Redfeld Proctor,
of Vermont. for the unexpired term
of George F. Edmunds, terminating
March 3, 1898. and for the ensu-
ing term Of six years. Upon the
arrangement of his venerable col
league, Mr.. Proctor advanced to
the dais of the Vice Presidents
desk ard Mr.. Morton administered
the statutory oath.
Mr.. Sherman, (Rep, of Ohlo),
presented the customary resolution
instructing the secretary to inform
the House that the Senate was ready
to proceed to business. Agreed to.
Mr.. Hale, (Rep., of Maine), Of
fered a resolution authorizing the
Vice-president to appoint a commit
tee Of two to join similar commit
tee of the House to inform the presi-
dent that quorum of each house
was present and the Congress was
ready to receive any commumca-
ton he might have to make. The
resolution was adopted and Messrs.
Hale, (Rep., of Maine), and Cor
man, (Dem.> of Maryland), were
named as the committee.
After hearing from Senators Hale
and German that President Harri-
sou would communicate with Con-
gress IN writing at the opening of
to-morrows' session the Senate ad-
journed.

lett German who speaker

Democrats who pride themselves
on being something in a political
way and think they contributed
something to the election of MIR.
Cleveland will be interested, per-
haps panied, by what Senator Cor
man is quoted as saying to Mr.
Cleveland.
Being in conference over policies,
the MARYLAND senator rose to a
height which seems to have been
above the occasion and filled the
proud bosom of the huntsman of
Hog Island with the raw materials
of more pride. AS Mr.. Cleveland
has won Gin spite of the politicians
and since his triumph "was to be
ascribed to no political manage
ment"-he is "under no obliga,
tions."
10 say this is to sing in a sad
strain to the noble army of expect
ants. To be under no obligations
to politicians is to be in a position
to say to politicians. "Avaunt, and
quit my sightN'
If this be the position in which
the logic of events places the Presi-
dent-elect, then may the politicians
brand themselves a set of chumps
and their hustling delusive vanity.
And this from German!

The n. Y. Tribune well SAYS
that Republicans have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they turn over
to the Democrats charge a prosper
GUS country, with volume Of bust
ness which has never been excelled,
with foreign trade of unparalleled
magnitude, with national finances
in perfect order and with all classes
of the population enjoying the
advantages of remunerative en-
ployment. viii the Democrats be
abe to say as much four years
hence? In the interest of the
American people we can sincerely
say that we hope they may do it.

The Friendsville Joluocat,or.


The Democratic jollification at
Friendsville on last Saturday night
was grand failure in every sense
of the word.
After the parade, which was q
very lame affair, the speakers tried
to get the crowd together but there
was to much "ramrod soup" on
tap and the consequence thereof
was no speaking.
1t is currently reported that sew
eral of the "happifers" were seen
floating down the river and the
next morning one of the speakers
wanted to know how many had
tloated away.
At one of the hotels they used
salt in their coffee instead of sugar.
One of the speakers remarked
that he did not want THE REPUB>
LICAN to get onto the flake" but

quent and elaborate articles have

have been urged to give their

AMERICAN AFFAIRS,
And How the Britishers Mix Them
I'm


Up.
eve take the following from the
London Court Journal: The long
looked for and often deferred
change In the American govern
ment has at last taken place. On
the Sth inst. President Cleveland
surrendered his place to General
Harris, who was elected at Indian
apolis last spring, but who, by
means of one of those peculiar tech
uicalities of American politics, was
kept out of his office. Mrs. Harris
we hear, is young and beautiful,
quite as young as her stepdaughter
Russell, q young lady who enjoys
peculiar freedom, going from place
to place unattended. 1t is said
that President Cleveland could
have held his place longer had he
not unwisely declared himself to be
a Democrat. This was not given
out for publication, was overheard
by a newspaper correspondent who
Immediately sent it to the DAILY
Murchison. Mr.. Cleveland accu sed
Lord SackvAle of having sent the
information, and without giving
his lordship chance to prove his
innocence, demanded his removal
as British minister.
Mr.. Cleveland's term was not
very satisfactory. 1t seems that
he upheld the idea that whiskey
should be sold in the White House,
while General Harris contended
that all ~hiskey and tobacco
brought into the White House
should be free. 1t appears to us
that it is a bad idea to sell the bar
privileges of great executive man
sion.
"Mr. Bayard, who for so long a
time has been Mr.. Cleveland's pri-
waite secretary, will, we are told,
establish gymnasium in New
York, in which institution the ex-
president will practice on the bar
to reduce his flesh. Mr.. Lamar,
who was in the cabinet as minister
of internal affairs, announced HIM
self as a candidate for the privilege
of practicing before the supreme
court, some time ago, and, after
many objections, he was admitted.
General Garland, commander of
the army under Mr.. Cleveland,
has been ordered to his brigade,
and will be stationed at Fort HON.
my, in st. Louis. Colonel Robert
Howard, General Garland's adju-
tant, will, we hear, take the mill
tary place made vacant by the de-
mise of General Custard, who was
killed by an Indian bull several
months ago.
1.-The Court Journal, paying at
tentlon as it does to American news,
will keep its numerous readers in
formed relative to affairs in the new
world. -Arkansas Traveller.

Goes on.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 3d.
The localities in Hendricks, Nor
gan, Putnam and other counties
where the gravestones of Union SOL
diers we're painted red continue in
ferment of excitement. The IN
vestigating board instituted at Mar
tinsvil'e to discover and punish the
perpetrators of the work has been
strengthened by the addition of IL.
A. Phelps, well known attorney.
who was largely instrumental in
the Suppression of the Knights of
the Golden Circle during the wal.
Heretofore the court has had no
Republican representative. Mr..
Phelps appointment, from the fact
that he has been connected with
the Morgan county bar for over
twenty-five years, and is acquainted
with almost every man in the
county, adds confidence to the IN
resignation, and when the grand
iary meets it is confidently stated
that evidence will have been Sc
l0red to warrant a number of IN
Wctments.
The Grand Army posts in the
territory affected are assisting in
the work of investigation. The
sentiment that exists not only
among the old soldiers but among
the peSple generally is reflected in
the resi- buttons adopted by Blanken-
ship post of Martinsville last night:
We demand that the perpetra-
tors of tms shameful outrage, the
authors of this cruel conspiracy,
whoevet they may be, be brought
to answer for their crimes, and we
pledge the Grand Army and every
loyal Union soldier in every efficient
way in enforcing and indicating
the law, in avenging the honor of
our dead comrades and in hunting
down the dastardly perpetrators,
effecting their arrest and bringing
sure punishment. To this end
be It.
ReS0lued, That a committee of
three discreet comrades of the post
be appointed to aid the legal author.
ties in investigating this alleged
desecration, and that they be au-
thorized to take such steps and
adopt such measures as in their
Judgment will make their work
most efectual, and result in their
early apprehension and certain pun
ishment of the guilty parties.
Celebrated their Golden Wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry SEWERS, late
Of Washington, celebrated their gold
en- wedding at the residence of their
Mrs. Julius Scherr, at
Eglon, on Sunday, Dec. 4. The
aged couple received numerous con-
gratulations from friends in Wash
lngton and Baltimore and also
many valuable presents, all being
of gold, mammoth wedding cake
by gold wreath being
among the presents from Washing
ton. An informal reception was
held after which supper was served.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Scherr, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Bush, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.

ner, Mrs. W. L. Burkhart, Mrs.

Mrs. SEWERS is 76, both are in COM
paratively good health.
After spending an enjoyable

ued happiness, health and content

would more than compensate for
their greater expense. Nelghbor-
ing property would undoubtedly IN
crease largely in value, and would
be more salable even at the advanced
price. Such has been the universal
experience wherever good roads have
been constructed. and there is no
reason why the rule should not mold
good In Maryland.
The press advocacy of road reform
has given the people of this State a
new interest IN the subject, and
they are now showing greater ac-
tiyity than ever before in their at
tempts to secure suitable system
of highways for the State.
A call has been issued for a con-
vention to meet in Baltimore next
month for the purpose of forming
a State Road League.
Three DAYS will be devoted to the
discussion of the road question, and
there is little doubt that the meet
ing will stimulate public interest IN
road reform, and that before great
while we may hope to see the con-
struction of new and more modern
system OF highways in this State.

AUSTIN, TEX, March 26.-The house
committee on judicial districts has made a
favorable report on the resolution offered
last week by MIR. Wilson of Harrison post
poning Indefinitely the reorganization OF
judicial districts. The lmmittee can see
no good reason for taking this matter up
at this time, as there is nothing urgent
saoout it as there is about the other form Of
redistricting. The report of the committee
may be acted on Monday, and if adopted
will go to the senate for its concurrence.
In view of the fact that only two weeks
more of the special session remains to
complete the work, so little of which has
been done, it Is not improbable that the
subject of redistricting may be shelved for
the present The joint judicial committee
has about completed the work of reorganiz-
ing the districts, but will make no report
until Mr.. Wilson'S resolution shall have
been acted upon by the house.
The colonel has been requested by his
townsmen in Sherman aad Denison to vote
for the exemption of cities and towns from
the operation of the textbook act, but viii
not regard their prayers. He is opposed, on
principle, to exemption, and will insist on
striking it out He does not much like the
bill, with even that correction, as it tends
to create book monopoly, one Of the things
we are all crying out against. He favors,
as he did all the regular session, providing
for state publication as an alternative in
order to check the monopolistic proclivities
of the contractors.
