The Length of the Session,

1t is good deal better for the
country to face the facts than to per-
NIT itself to be deceived by an illu-
sion.
If the Silver Purchase act is re-
pealed in thirty days after the meet
ing of Congress the result will be
extraordinary. The country ought
not to expect it, and those who are
in authority ought not to predict it.
The truth is that the effort to re-
peal the Sherman act will be met by
stubborn resistance. The strongest
advocates of free coinage are able
men. They are experienced parlia-
mentarians, and they have devoted
followers. They ere full of resour-
ces, and they are willing, so Sena-
tor Jones says, to avail them selves
of every means in their power to pre-
vent majority from voting repeal
In the House Mr.. Bland is one of
the most experienced debaters on
the floor. He has the advantage of
long instruction in parliamentary
arts and he is man of marked
ability. 1t is in the Senate, howev-
err. where the chief difficulty lies.
Among the silver Senators are
Jones, Stewart, Teller and Wolcott.
The first two will be looking after
their own property in opposing re-
peal. The others will be looking
after the interests of their clients.
They will all employ to the fullest
extent the talents with which they
are endowed, and these are far from
being mean.
On reflection it looks like a long
fight. There are signs indicating
that the existing financial distress
has taught wisdom to many who
have heretofore supported the silver
cause. But he who predicts a speedy
triumph is not doing the country
good turn. 1t is better for business
to wait patiently and hopefully than
to assume that the trouble is to be
overcome in few days, for it is
more than likely that such an ex-
pectation will be disappointed

The idiotic assertion is often made
that the democrats have been in
power now nearly nine months and
have done nothing. The fact is the.
democrats are not yet in control of
the Government. 1t is only five
months since the Inauguration of Mr.
Cleveland. No law or attempt at
law making has been made. There
has been no session of congress since
the inauguration. The President
has been compelled to call an extra
session to meet on Monday next to
repeal some iniquitous republican
legislation that has brought the
country to the verge of ruin.

probabilities are that but few Con-
gressmen will be in the city before

have arrived the opinion seems to
be unanimous that the Sherman
law will and must be repealed, or at
least the silver purchasing clause,
but what shall follow is an unknown
quantity. One of the early arrivals
is Representative Geary, of Califor-
mia, known to fame in connection
with the Chinese exclusion and reg
istration act, which bears his name.

The country is not going to finan-
cial ruin notwithstanding the pres
ent furry. The situation will soon
improve. The crops will begin to
move; there is great demand for our
products abroad. Even hay is sell
ing at $50 per ton in some parts of
Europe; all our corn and wheat will
bring money in foreign markets. The
balance of trade will soon be in our
favor and foreigners must pay the
difference in money. This money
will be gold and then the shipment
of money to us will be felt. Don't get
alarmed; do the best you can, every
thing will come ont right.

Fond of the Crown i.

EDITOR Bulletin
The annexation papers here have
often tried to school the public into
the belief that the American Gov
eminent abhors anything approach
ing the crowned head. But accord
ing to the following from the Gin
cinnati Southwest, Americans are
quite fond of the crown:
THE now souvenir silver quarter
dollars which are now being coined
at the Philadelphia mint are said to
be much more artistic and attractive
than the Columbian half dollar.
The one side represents the head of
Queen Isabella of Spain wearing the
crown of CASTLE, while on the re-
verse side is the figure of woman
kneeling by the side of distatf.
This is probably the first time a
crown has appeared on an American
coin. The souvenirs have been coin
ed for the women's department of
the Worlds Fair and the demand
for them is greater than for that of
| the half dollar pieces. A dollar
apiece has already been bid for sew
eral thousand. 1t is stated that sew
eral hundred thousand OF the souve-
mir halves are still unsold and are
now a drug in the market"
Next will most probably be- the
head of Queen Liliuokalani on Am
| erican coin as souvenir of restora-
ton. And then the public will have
the satisfaction of seeing Mr.. Thurs
ton after his defeat working tooth
and nail for the crown, in order to
try and worm himself back into the
good graccs of the Queen, which is
a true characteristic of the man.
have no doubt that a large number
of our mongrcl Americans would
give any amount for those Liliuoka-
lani quarters; 5. Z. Bishop, the Star
man, and Others will undoubtedly
have their ears pierced and wear
them as earrings. They will be very
becoming and quite attractive.

TWO TWIN BROTHERS.
Their Extraordinary Resemblance
To Each Other.

The Boston Herald tells many
stories of the confusion caused by
the resemblance to each other OF
the twin brothers, Darius and Cyrus
Cobb, sons of the Rev. Sylvanus
Cobb. They are now SO years old,
Cyrus being sculptor and Darius
painter, though Cyrus was at one
time a lawyer and aGterward paint
err, his best known work being pic.
ture of Warren in the Old South"
He designed the soldiers monument
at Cambridge, and is engaged on a
heroic bust of Bishop Brooks. Oar
ius Cobb's best-known pictures are
"Old Army Friends" and washing
ton at Dorchester Heights the lat
ter having been executed at Long
fellows request and being now in
the Corcorau gallery. Not only
was their mother unable to distin-
guish them apart in their childhood,
but they have not always been
able to distinguish themselves.
When they were errand boys
in the store now kept by Jor-
dan, Marsh, and Co, Darius
once took an image of himself in a
glass for his brother, smiled in re-
cognition, and was about to speak
when he discovered the truth. They
went to the war, and the daughter
J.of Darius kept what she supposed
was her fathers picture on her dress
ing-case for two years. After their
return Darius one day wanted his
brothers picture, which Cyrus had
sent home from the front. A long
search revealed in the bottom of a
trunk not the picture of Cyrus, but
that of himself, the one on the dress
ing-case proving to be the picture of
Cyrus, though Darius as well as his
daughter had supposed it to be his
own. Their friend William Hunt,
the artist, styled them Serious" and
'Delirious." Not long since a gen
tleman took each for the other on
the same day, and, curously enough,
when he apologised each made the
same reply, saying that he felt COM
plimented at being taken for his
brother They married sisters.
