CONGRESS-.

This legislative body will convene
in Washington on Monday next, De-
cember 4th. 1t struggled from Au-
gust 9th until the ides of November
over the silver question. But now
will come before them, the most i'm
portant Of all questions of political
economy, that of tariff. AS on sill.
yer, there must also be a division on
this. Alabama, Virginia, West Vir
GINA and Western Maryland must
line up on one side or the other, and
the representatives will not be able
to vote against protection, and face
their constituents. 1t will not be
boys play, but the best Of human
experience, study, research and judg-
ment will be heard reverberating dai
ly. 1t will not be football, but hard
sense that will do the talking.

MIR. PowderIy Resigns.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-The fight
against General Master Workman
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor,
has been won. Yesterday he resign
ed the Office, but his enemies are not
disposed to accept it. They want to
expel him from office Powder, s
friends say that the order will be dis
rupted. Powderly has the right to
nominate members of the general ex-
ecutive board. His first nominations
we're received with such disfavor that
to save himself he sent in a new list,
but this did not appease his enemies.
Then he refused to make any further
concessions and resigned.

THE INCOME TAX.

The Democrats are getting desper'
ale in their effort to save themselves
from destruction on the tariff ISSUE
They must have tariff both for rev
enue and protection. Why, they
say, it costs so much to live here in
Washington, and we must have five
thousand dollars per year salary.
Work or play, the pay comes to them
They will not pass an income tax
bill on incomes of over $4,000, be-
cause that will catch every one Of
them. No, no, make it over
$4,000 and the bill may then GO
through.

A Practical Preacher.

BIRM1NaHAM, Ala, Nov. 28.-At
Livingston, Sunday, sparks from a
passing locomotive set fire to cotton
on the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad platform. There were 100
bales on the platform and 900 in the
warehouse. The Waterman ran to a
church nearby and gave the alarm.
The preacher quit his sermon and he
and the congregation hurried to the
fire, and forming themselves into a
fire brigade, saved the warehouse -
The 100 bales on the platform were
burned. After the fire, religious ser
vices we're resumed.

There is quite a revolution going
on in Brazil, and we hope that the
people will not retrogade into a mon
archy, but among the Knights of La
Dor, in this country, there is also
war, and Mr.. T. V. Powderly, Gen.
eral Master Workman for fourteen
years, has been forced to resign the
position. His place will be filed by
a Mr.. Sovereign, Labor Commission

that this is a bad break for the or

ly, in total disorganization. A great
amount of money has been expend-
ed, from the pockets of the poor, but
outside of the salaried men, who have

of Ontario and Quebec, that out of 2S,-
2S9 commitments to the iails for three
years, 81 ,236 were committed either for
drunkenness or for crimes perpetrated
under the influence of drink"
By order OF the Bureau of Statistics of
Labor in Boston, close investigation
was made, during the year 1881, into all
crimes for which sentences were passed
in Suffolk county, for the purpose of as
certaining the exact share which, in the
commission of these crimes, belongs to
intoxicating drink. The report of the
Bureau concludes with these words:
"The figures paint picture, at once
the most frightful and hideous, of the
guilt and the power of rum. Men and
women, the young, the middle e.aged and
the old, father and son, husband and
wife, native and foreign born, the night
walker and man-slayer, the thief and
adulterer-all testify to its ramified and
revolving tyranny The result of the in
vestigation calls for earnest
and Immediate attention at tho bar Of
public opinion and the public conscience
of Massachusetts,"
The condition of things in Massa
chusetts is certainly no worse than the
condition of things in other States.

FOR BISHOP OF VERMONT,

The Boston Herald's record in the
bishop making line, to date, is two-the
late Bishop Brooks, and BishOp-elect
Lawrence, both of the diocese of Massa-
chusetts. 1t has had so much success at
home that it begins to look abroad, and
so we hear a. good deal about Vermont
in its columns of late. The Herald's ar
ticles are copied more or less, and so we
give below its latest effusion.
The Rev. j. Isham Bliss, president of
the standing committee of the diocese of
Vermont, has summoned a special con-
ventiOn of the diocese to meet in st.
Paul's church, Burlington, Thursday.
June %, to elect Bishop to succeed the
late Right Rev. w. IL. A. Bissell, d. d.
There are a number of possible candi-
dates, but the leading ones will probably
prove to be Rev. Dir. Joseph Carey of
Saratoga, Rev. w. Mcclellan Fiske of
Providence, h. l., and Rev. DIR. Joseph
HI. johnson of Detroit, Mich. While it
is the general opinion that DR.. Carey
was the expressed choice of the late
Bishop for the position of Assistant
Bishop, Rev. DR.. johnson would have
been acceptable to him. The parishes in
Manchester, Arlington, Rutland, Bran
don, Middlebury, Vergennes, st. Albans
and those IN Caledonia county are said
to favor Rev. DR.. Carey, with the proba-
bilities that those in Windham county
will also be in his favor. Windsor and
Bennington counties appear to be divided
between DR.. Carey and DR.. Fiske. Bur
lington expresses no choice, but it is the
opinion of prominent men in the diocese
that, knowing the expressed wishes of
the late Bishop, whose home was in that
city, the delegates from tn parish will
favor DR.. Carey, although they may
honor DIR. Fiske with a complimentary
vote in the convention. There are in the
diocese forty-eight parishes, with thirty
settled clergymen, and the approximate
number of delegates to the convention
will be about 100, each parish being en-
titled to delegates according to the num-
Der of male communicates in it. In vot-
ing the names of the clergy are tirst
called, after them the lay delegates, who
in response vote by ballot. A majority
of both is necessary to elect"

SEEING THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Vermont quill DRYERS have re-
turned from Chicago, and our exchanges
TEEN with directions of show to get
there" and chow best to see the fair"
Occasionally one of them lapses into
metaphor: witness the following:
Various good advice to women about
to journey to Chicago is floating about.
Much of it is that relative to suitable and
comfortable dressing, and coming from
experienced travellers is worth some con-
sideration. Gowns that are light in
weight, and not easily soiled nor crushed
and as few of them as possible, are
agreed to be the best for the average
traveller. For these gowns some prefer
wool and some silk plainly made. Some
women like a gown of both materials.
Union suits of silk or light wool and
colored or black skirts are commended
because they will save the bother or ex-
pense of laundry bills. A Chicago
woman is quoted as saying: "YOu don't
need any medium things, because we
never have medium weather in Chicago.
You want a few thin ones. and all the
wraps you own. On hot day at the
fair grounds you will need as little cloth
ing as conventionality premits. If you
mean to get home in the middle of the
afternoon, you may trust the weather
implicitly. If you are going to be out
until @ o'clock, you want to take your
sealskin coat. have never yet found a
wrap that was too heavy when the breeze
blew from the lake." The same woman
advises that the yellow shoes shall be at
least a size and half larger than those
usually worn, as the climate will prob
ably produce the Chicago foot. Refer
ring no doubt to our friends in Troy, N.
VI A second Chicago woman empha-
sizes the need of heavy wrap even in
midsummer, and says that a blanket
shawl on the lake front after nightfall is
a necessity. The dress skirt as short as
the courage of the wearer will allow; a
hat or bonnet that will outlast daily
brushing, wind, soil and rain; sandal
overshoes and number of capacious
pockets are further commended by a
woman who has already been to Chicago
Baggage that can be carried in the hand
is to be preferred to trunk, that you
may not see until you reach home again
At least this was the experience of many
who went to Philadelphia in '76.
