Gratis. A witty Democratic member
of the House perpetrated the fol-
lowing just after the Democratic
chaplain had concluded his OPEN
ing prayer; 81 say" he said in
stage whisper, turning his head
towards the member seated next to
him, "that fellow has an almighty
poor memory" "Why?" asked the
gentleman spoken to. "Why?
Why great Scott! he omitted to say
word about the great November
catastrophe, just as though the loss
of $4,000 year by such an awful
lot of US was an insignificant affair
already forgotten. He should have
given us word or two of religious
consolation; we need it. The con-
temptation of the loss of his own
job ought to have aroused his SYM
pathy,"
If Mr.. Cleveland really wishes to
see the warning factions of his party
in Congress get together amicably
his wishes are not made apparent
by hurried reading of his mes
sage. On the contrary; the inn
preston left upon ones mind is
that he merely offers them a choice
between accepting his views and
being kicked out of the party, and
that he doesn't care very much
which they choose. Already there
are mutterings of the coming Demo-
cratic storm, and it will become
more difficult to keep it from burst
mig after Secretary Carlisle's fnan-
cial scheme, which is fully endors-
ed by Mr.. Cleveland, has been sub
mitted to Congress and has been
fully taken in by the Democrats, a
majority of whom bold opposite
views. The scheme in all it's de-
tailsis a part of Secretary Car1isle's
annual report, which will, it is ex-
pected, go to Congress tomorrow.
The honor of receiving the great
est ovation extended to any indi-
vidual member of the House upon
the opening day belongs to Hon.
Thomas Bracket Reed, whose big
face beamed with a sunny smile
which was contagious and who fair
ly shook his elephantfne sides when
he was jocularIy asked if he was
ready TO take the Speakers chair.
He was constantly addressed as
"Mr. Speaker" by both Republican
and Democratic members.
Some very ugly reports are again
being circulated in connection with
the names of Senators German,
Brice and Smith. and the sugar
trust. It is charged that double
deal is now on hand, which, to put
it in the language Of the street, is
to catch the public both going and
coming. The poor mouth the sugar
trust is putting upis to stave off
further Congressional legislation
and also to force down the price of
sugar stock held by those who are
not in the deal, and in order to aid
the spectators it is said that
great stir and pretense of adverse
legislation is to be made in the
Senate. Verify, the Fifty-fourth
promises to be known in history as
the sugar Congress; but there seems
to be no probability and anybody's
getting punished, except the poor
public.
Senator Sherman does not as
rule bother himself about con-
tradicting newspaper stories in
which he figures, but he lost no
time in informing the public that
there was no truth in the state
ment that he helped Mr.. Cleveland
fix up the financial portion of his
message. He doesn't care enough
about ordinary misrepresentation
to run them down, but he draws
the line at being charged with act
ing as financial adviser to Secre-
tary Carlisle and Mr.. Cleveland,
He considers that an extraordinary
misrepresentation.
Representative Cannon, of ILL.,,
isn't man of vindictive or revenge
full nature, although when the oc-
casion calls for them he can throw
his share of oratorical brick bats.
When asked whether the Republi-
cans would during this session
taunt the Democrats with the de-
feat, he said: eff they show us
their scarined backs and ask us to
