LEGISLATIVE PROSPECTS.
Matters That VIII Occupy the Senate a

Matters That VIII Occupy the Senate and
House the Coming Week.
The present week will, 80 far as the calen-
dar reveals, be devoted by the Senate to
routine business Of no general interest. It is
possible that the Notifications appropriation
!! bill will be reported from the committee, and
If it should be, 1t will probably be taken up
for discussion and put upon its passage.
For the rest, there will be an effort to dispose
Of the Government Printing Office site, the
Russian thistle appropriation, and the Nc
Garrahan bill, and large number Of special
bills on the calendar.
As soon as the sund-y civil appropriation
bill Is disposed OF in ihe House, which prob
ably will be done tonight the four contested
election cases which are pending will be con-
sidered-the ONeill-Joy case, from the
Eleventh Missouri district; the Williams-Set-
tie case, from the Fifth North Carolina; the
English-Hilborn case, from the Third Califor-
mia, and the Whatley-Cobb case, from the
Fifth Alabama. The O'Neill-Joy and English
Hilborn cases. which were both decided
against the sitting members (Republicans) by
strict party votes in the Committee on Elec-
tions, are the most important and will re-
quire the major portion Of the time. In both
these cases the result OF the election in No
vember, 1892 was exceedingly close. There
were two counts on the O'Neill-Joy election,
the recount giving Joy (Rep.) 81 plurality.
O'Neill being beaten en- the face OF the re-
turns. he instituted the contest on the ground
that the Missouri election law had not been
complied with.
The decision of the committee gave tn
seat to ONeill (Dem.). In the English-Hi-
born case the result was also very close. Eng
lish receiving 1880 on the face of the re-
turns against Hilborns 1850. English's
contest rested on the claim that in one pre-
cinct the returns had been manipulated be-
yond doubt. At the close of the case Hill
born's attorneys still claimed his election by
one vote. but the Democrats Of the commit
tee decided in favor Of English.
II the contested election cases are disposed
Of this week, which is hardly probable, as
the Republicans will doubtless insist upon
the presence of a Democratic quorum to un-
seat their colleagues, the House will proceed
with the consideration of either the military
academy or consular and diplomatic appro-
priation bills.

The Dead Ruler Of Russia.

March ID, 1881, the civilized world
was shocked by the report that the CT IT
of Russia, Alexander H., had fallen a
victim to nihiist violence. For months
previous the air ia ST. Petersburg had
been filed with rumors Of plots against
the lite of the emperor. The fruit of
Rus sian desp ,tism was visible in he
rapid spread of nhilism. The apprehen-
sion of CUNT Melikof, the high minis
terial officer of the empire, had been
aroused by the development of this
menace to the life of the emperor and
the peace of the nation. Three desper-
ate attempts to assassinate the emperor
had been made. To appease the rising
discomfort, the count hal formulated a
plan to give the Russians consti u
tional government aud representative
assembly. The emperor had consented
to the minister's plans for reforming
abuses in the government, had co.
tered into them heartily, and had pro
claimed his purpose to his subjects.
At noon of March 13, 1881, he had
signed the decree that told the people
what changes in the government were
to be made ia their behalf, and rode out
10 review the marine corps. Two hours
later he was borne back to the palace,
mangled and bleeding, and, one hour

ReactiOnary Measures.

When legislature of Vermont has
been persuaded to take step in ad
vance, the succeeding legislature is
likely to contain reaclionary element
that is bent on tearing down the good
work of it's prede cessors. This tendency
appears conspicuously in legislation re-
latlng TO The schools.
Up TO 1856 there had been biennially
sharp contest of systems, the town
system against the district system. H.
