With the session of Congress so far
spent that it is doubtful wether some
Legislative business of the first import
ance can be completed in time without
turning back the hands of the clock,
the Senate devoted some hours on Sat
urday to the payment of tributes to a
deceased member of the other branch
of Congress. Some of these days the
American Congress will give public
business the precedence over private
"reminiscences but it will be when our
legislative system shall have been more
wisely ordered, and shorn of some of
its inscrutable absurdities.

AN IMMENSE REWARD


viii be paid for sort of something
than runs around the street without
muzzle on-with long beard, Oh the
order Of bristles, on its physiognomy-
dressed III a Prince Albert coat-in
summer time with slippers on its hind
feet-wearing one suspender, a dirty
shirt, and no collar-supposed to be a
freak of nature, or what is it,
its front or fore feet containing long
nails, and somewhat Of a peculiar
ape-while its head is Of shape be-
yond 'descnption--it's shoulders are
bumped, and at the sight Of Cuffey
Clifford and his diseased editorial the
thing coughs and means, and walls
aloud-it longeth for an influential
name(O to combine with his to obtain
patronage-it crieth for all the black
legs Of his party for help, and then gets
mad and goes for them because they
do not help him like the Democrats
help each other--it sometimes runs up
and down tile streets in a dyspeptic
condition, tearing its hair and the
beard on its supposed face-and all
the time keeping on the alert to pre-
vent meeting Cuffey Clifford, who is
after it with large chain and drag
net, trying to captureit and obtain the
above reward offered by an eastern
dime museum-this so-called thing
sometimes runs paper, and the paper
sometimes runs the so-called thing
anyhow it is of a nature pecu-
liar to mankind, and is wanted for
public exhibition-it tried to run a
daily paper and fizzled the project off
into a suspended suspender-it is mad
because some one else is a little more
successful with daily, and it biteth
its tongue until the one suspender
breaketh and its pants drops off, ex-
posing its supposed peculiar body and
making public that something that
Stanly captured in darkest Africa
with hair on tits language is vile
and of nature that readily convinces
one that the thing is yet uncivilized,
and dangerous heathen-it is gen
orally supposed that Cuffey Clifford
will capture the "beast,n or 'animal, ;"
or something from darkest Africa
and will Herald the news broadcast to
the bankrupt registers, murder accom-
plices, and other black-legs of its com
panionship, and likewisethe communi
ty at large-Cuffey will hunt it down
and will muzzle it without trouble. and
will then find ready sale for his edi-
torlals explaining the things, disease,
the causes of its peculiar and eccentric
ways, and the means by which its
equilibrium is propelled by its suspen-
der eccentrics and drying shaft slip
pers. This is all the explanation we
can make, unless the capture is made.

Visible stocks of wheat in this eoun-
try are decreasing very slowly. The
supply at the principal points of ac-
emulation is nearly double what it
was year ago, and the movement
from farmers hands, although smaller
thanh the earlier weeks of the season,
continues to exceed that of the cores
ponding period last year.
The unprecedent shipments from
the farms since the beginning of the
crop year suggest the probability that
the reserve stocks in the hands of the
growers are much below the average.
There is no escape from this conclu-
sion except on the theory of a gross
misconception of the yield of the last
two seasons by the statisticians of the
Federal Department of Agriculture.
The production last year was estimat-
ed to have been fully 00,0O0, 900
bushels less than in 1891, when it was
6l2, 100000 bushels, or the largest on
record. Yet since July the receipts
at Western spring and winter wheat
centres have been $4,000, 900 bushels
larger than the receipts from the larg-
er crop Of 1891. Unless recent crops
have been understimated, the reserves
in farmers hands must have greatly
decreased. The forthcoming Govern
ment report on this subject, to be issu-
ed on March 10, Will be awaited with
unusual interest.
The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1893-03-03

On March 4 next every Department
Of the Government will pass into the
control Of the Democratic party. AS
Senator Mcpherson humorously put it
in debate the other day, the Senate, the
House. the President and almost the
entire Cabinet will be Democratic. BY
Governor Osborne's appointment Of
Mr.. Bechwith, Democrat. In Wyom-
ing, following the unexpected election
Of a Democrat by the Republican Leg
isIature of North Dakota, the Demo
cratic vote in the Senate will number
As, including Judge Martin, Of Kan
sas. This would give to the Demo
Gratis a majority Of one vote in full
Senate, and wonld relieve them Of any
need of the casting vote OF the Vice
President. Mr.. Martin is properly in
Guided in this estimate; for he Is q
Democrat, although ne was elected by
the Populists, and will doubtless vote
with the Democrats in the ofganiza-
ton of the Senate. Senator PETER, Of
Kansas, has declared again within a
day or two that, if necessary, he also
would assist the Democrats in the or
ganization. on the ground that as they
will have the responsibility for the
Government no unreasonable obstruc-
ton should be thrown in their way.
On the question Of the tariff the Popu
lnsts, would vote with the Democrats,
as they have declared; SO there will
be no obstacle in the way of the Dem
ocratic tariff programme in the next
Congress. Nothing is more certain
than that such Taraff bill as the
Democratic Committee on Ways aud
Means may introduce will pass both
Houses of Congress and receive the
approval of President Cleveland.
AS to the impending question of cur
rency and coinage, the new Admins
tration may expect to encounter the
opposition of Republicans Democrats
and Populists in the next Senate in
such force as to make the success of
the Administration policy extremely
improbable. If the Republicans in
the next Congress should manifest the
same partisan spirit which they have
betrayed in the present Congress thei 9
would be no prospect of repeal of the
Silver Purchase act. Financial con-
tingencles in the near feature, of
course, are like to compel the adoption
of legislation in harmony with the pol
icy of Mr.. Clevevelaud's administra-
ton. In the meantime history will
continue to drift until events shall
have forced the hands of all parties in
Congress.

AMUSING PuGILISTS.

Possibly our citizens will remember
of a great rumpus created some years
ago between two joint partners, en-
gagged in publishing the Martinsburg
Herald. One was named John T. Reilly
and the other A. S. Goulden. For some
time previous they had conducted the
massive sheet peacefully and quietly,
and without murmur of discomfort.
About the time John l.. Sullivan was
talked Of as the champion prize fighter
of the country, these two joint part
ners concluded to try their fstic pro-
pensites. We suppose they were pre-
pairing to give Sullivan test and wrest
the laurels from off his brow.
Anyhow the peace and quietude was
suddenly broken by a general all
round knock down, between these two
partners, and shortly afterward the
firm dissolved. Several of the en-
ployees acted as seconds, while the
devil handled the sponge and bucket
of water, and also acted as referee.
This great fistic battle was fought
under the Cuffeysonian Rules, and
Goulden was declared the champion.
A ring was made in the centre of the
office floor, and each took his position
on either side of a Washington hand
press. The devil called time and the
performance began as follows:
Round /, time p seconds.

Goulden punched Reilly one in the low

Rely waxed warm and peeled Goulden
one on the left cheek. Goulden cinch-
ed Rely and threw him down on the
floor. Goulden kicked Reilly, then
jumped on him. Goulden sat on
Reilly. Rely got hold Goulden's ear
and pulled it. Goulden got Reilv's
finger in his mouth and bit it, Reilly
yelled and broke his suspender. Time
called. Goulden declared the cham
pion. The Herald partnership declar-
ed dissolved. Pugilists well sponged.
Both found well preserved, saving
some slight scratches and bruises
Special telegraph wires had been run
in order to covey the results of the
fight to the city papers as quickly as
possible

Professor John L. Sullivan, who says
that he "lahored for eleven years to
bring pugilism TO the present high
standard" is out in newspaper card
denouncing Corbett and Mitchell. Mr..
Sullivan is improving in inyectlve. He
has demonstrated that if he can no
longer be a champion in the fstic arena
he is competent to occupy a leading
place on the editorial staff of the 1ri-
e0pq Kicker.

No special formalities will be needed
to invest with peculiar interest the
launch of the battle-ship Indiana, the
biggest war vessel of the New Navy
yet built by the Messrs. Camp. In
every respect, except size, the Indiana,
with her 10,000-ton tonnage, will be
the peer of the l4,000-ton batle-ships
of Great Britain; and her plunge into
the Delaware at noon ON Tuesday next
will make a splash as they say in
England. that will not escape the at
tention of the British Admiralty.

Perhaps the revelation most as
founding to the people when, under
the incoming Administration the pen
sion list shall be unrolled and every
name upon it exhibited to the com
munity in which it is well-known, will
be the identity of members of that
poor unfortunate class drawing large
pensions for total disability" who
were never in better body and health
in their livea, and Who are practising
lucrative professions or carrying on
lucrative business.

President Harrison recently issued
a proclamation revoking the tolls ley
led on Canadian vessels and cargoes
in the Sault st. Marie Canal, the
Dominion Government having pre-
viously removed the discrimination
against American vessels passing
through the Canadian canals. If there
can be reciprocity in the minor con
Germs Of international commerce, it is
not Utopau to hope that the same en-
lightened spirit may finally prevail
in affairs of moment.

Before digging a canal throughNica-
ragua and Costa Rica, would it not be
well for the United Statos Government
to wait until those two Republics shall
have settled their quarrel over their
respective boundaries? A Corsican
vendetta or an Irish row would be a
pleasant diversion compared with what
the people of the United States might
expect from mixing in dispute in Cen
trail America.

Evidently the House Of Representa-
tives is in no mood to discuss the Anti
Option bill, which with its Senate
amendments still lies on the Speakers
table. There is 50 much belated bust
ness to be done in connection with the
appropriation bills that Farmer Hatch's
pet measure necessarily lies in cold
oblivion. There let it remain

Mr.. Thruston says there are only
about one thousand lepers in Hawaii.
That is fully one thousand more than
the United States can afford to make
part of our population. A leper to
every ninety inhabitants is not an al
Turing proportion.
The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1893-03-03

Senator Morgan says it is well known
that the Hawaiian islanders cannot
manage their own affair, and that it
would be a political crime on the part
Of the United States not to annex the
islands.
The World. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1891-1896, 1893-03-03

1t IS rather lame argument
against the ratification Of the
Hawaiian treaty that if the United
States should annex Hawaii, Great
Britain, with her superior naval force,
could at any time thereafter seize the
islands. Hawaii would be a poor swap
for Canada, even in John Bulls
estimation.

Hon. George H. Walsh, Republican
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives of North Dakota, has left that
party in disgust and will hereafter
affiliate with the Democrats. The sean
dalous contest at Bismarck was more
than his self-respect could stand. Even
the iniquities ofrotten-bo borough politics
work out a compensating good at last.

The London Standard, in leader on
the silver question in the United States.
compares President Harrison's atti-
tude with that of Nero fiddling while
Rome burned, and suggests ironically
that the Americans must be proud of
their chief magistrate.
Anything more hopeless than his
inability to grasp the situation" con
tinues the Standard, "cannot be CON
ceived. 1t seems that there must be
a severe shock in America before the
people will show themselves wiser than
their rulers and stop the creation of
silver certificates masqueraded as
money of full value.n
The Standards Vienna correspon-
dent remarks upon the ease with which
Austria has obtained gold from Amer
lea for her currency reform, and adds
that the expectations of Austrian fin
anclers is that unless the silver pur-
chase act be repealed soon many mil
hons more of American gold will find
its way to Vienna.

When the steamship New York set

The barriers to free commerce haye

ton the country may confidently ex-
pect to witness the removal of the en-

now impedes the way to the restora-

A circular letter from Chairman
Harrity, or the Democratic National
Committee, requesting information as
to the attitude of ninety uncommitted
representatives in the next Congress
on the repeal of the Silver Purchase
act, has found its way into print. The
desirability or the undesirabilitv of
calling an extra session of Congress
will largely turn on the disposition of
the responsible Democratic majority
on the silver question. 1t is a matter
of political prudence to ascertain in
advance, if that be possible, the dis
position of Congress. This is not
coercion. There is in it no attempt to
influence the vote of any Representa-
tive. The outgoing Administration
will leave the finances of the country
in such a sad muddle that it behooves
the friends of the next Administration
to try and find out at the beginning
"where they are at"
