QUITE AT SEA.

This appears to be the condition
of the controlling party in congress
at present. Seldom, if ever, before
has the majority in the national
legislature made such record as has
been spread before the country since
the opening of the Fifty-third con-
gress. The chaotic state of affairs at
Washington, the absence of effective
leadership on the democratic side of
either house or senate, the wide
divergence Of views within the party
on the tariff and currency questions
the failure to stand by the national
platform declarations, and the lack
of any substantial ground on which
the party can place-or at least has
placed-its feet self-reliantly these
throughout the entire country, and
are rapidly making political capital
for 1.-THE other side"
Promises were plenty when the
democratic party took up the reins
In all branches of the government.
Fulfillments have been few and far
between. Leading papers on that
side of the political fence do not hest
tate to call the party to account for
its worse than do-nothing policy.
The hating manipulations of the
Wilson tariff (Which, by the way,
may not prove to be a genuine
Panacea for the countrv's business
ills) and the extended contest between
factions of the party over the silver
question, resulting finally in the
Bland seigniorage bill, have held
industrial and financial interests in
an uncomfortable state of uncertain
ty, and reacted disastrously upon
the party. President Cleveland's
veto of the Bland bill-which he
can not withhold CONSISTENTLY
would, tits said, serve to increase the
breach in democratic ranks. Alto
gether, the situation is very interest
ing. The country has been waiting
TOR the party in power to do some
thing. Up to date it has waited in
vain; and it begins tolook as though
the majority had bigger job on
hand than they are competent to do
satisfactorily.

IA ST DAY PROCLAMATION,

Institutions established by the early
fathers, cemented by universal consent
and observed through all the genera
tons since the organization of our civil
government, ought not to be lightly
considered or easily laid aside. 1t is a
part of executive duty to preserve the
customs of a people and to transmit
institutions with luster undimmed, that
whatever is beneficial in them may be
enjoyed by our worthy successors.
L therefore appoint Friday, the
9th day of April, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-four, as a day of public fast
ing and prayer. Inviting the people to
assemble and unitedly render thanks to
Almighty God for all his mercies and to
seek divine aid in the work of life, that
our beloved state may be the recipient
of those favors which are good for
people, and that the nation may enjoy
all the blessings of freedom; that the
president and congress of the United
States may be endowed with a large
measure of wisdom; the work of the
husbandman be blessed, and the honest
toll of labor suitably rewarded; that
calamity and disease may be kept from
our households and Gods larger love
lead US in wisdom's ways.
righteousness exalteth nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people"

Edward H. Phelps, in an exchange,
gives this point as worth thinking
of in connection with tariff talk !:
eff the Wilson bill is passed, it will
stand for three years. The repub-
lican house to be elected next
fall cannot overturn it, for it cannot
override the democratic senate and
the democratic president. On the
other hand, if the Wilson bill is de-
feated, the Mckinley law will stand
for three years, as the next repub-
lican house will effectually block any
attempt to repeal it."

GLADSTONE WILL RESIGN.

Tho Queen wilt Ask Lord Roseberry to
Take tho Premiership.
A dispatch from London dated the
End says:
At Windsor castle this evening, in
consultation with the queen, Mr.. Glad
stone explained fully to her majesty
tho reasons for his retirement. The
queen expressed her regret that the
country should lose his services and
offered him peerage. This he de-
clined to accept. Mr.. Gladstone rec
commended that Lord Rosebery be ap-
pointed as his successor. A telegram
was sent later to Lord Roseberry, who
is at EPSON, summoning him to Wind
sor for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
1t is understood he will accept the
premiership, but that there will be
only two other changes in the cabinet.
BY command Of the queen Mr.. and
Mrs Gladstone proceeded to Windsor
castle this afternoon, and will remain
as the guests Of her majesty until to-
morrow.
At noon tomorrow privy council
will be held at Windsor castle and up
on this occasion Mr.. Gladstone will
tender his resignation of the PREMIER
ship. The Earl of Kimberly, lord
president Of the council, Earl Spencer,
first lord of the admiralty, and the
other ministers with the exception of
Lord Roseberry will be present.

GLADSTONE AND THE PEERS.
rhe Grand Old Mnn Makos What Will
Probably Bs Hs Last speech In
the Houss of Commons.


Probably III His Last speech In
the Houss of Commons.
On the evening of the lst Mr. Glad
stone made speech in the House Of
Commons which will probably be his
last, as it is generally believed that he
will resign in few days.
Mr.. Gladstone reached the House Of
Commons at $3.50 p. m. and was loudly
chcered. The premier took his accus-
toned seat between Sir William Har-
court, chancellor of the exchequer, and
John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land.
Right Hon. Arthur Wellesly Peel
put the question that the House of
Lords amendment to the local govern
ment bill be considered.
Mr.. Gladstone then arose and ad-
dressed the House, speaking in a full,
resonant voice, which was occasionally
marred by slight huskiness But in
spite of this slight huskiness, Mr..
Gladstone spoke throughout with mar
velous energy and vigor.
Mr.. Gladstone reviewed the action
of the House of Lords in the past, and
said: "We have now reached an acute
stage. 1t appears that the House of
Lords desires to annihilate the whole
work of the House of Commons.
''In regard to the present bill the
government desires to save something
from the wreck, and, therefore, ac-
cepted the amendments, but with the
declaration that the difference between
the houses is not Of temporary or
casual nature"
After comparing the two assemblies,
MIR. Gladstone continued:
81 do not like to say that the situa-
tion is intolerable, because it may seem
hard and dictatorial word, but !
think, some way or other, solution
must be found for this tremendous
contrariety and incessant conflict on
matters Of high principle and profound
importance. 1t is not for the Com
mons to pronounce judgment on the
subject, as the Commons is party to
the case. The ministry. however,
would have no difficulty in pronouncing
frankly, fully and finally on the side OF
the Commons.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gladstone 4
remarks, he asked the House to accept
the House of Lords amendments to
the bill, and they were agreed to.

THE WESTERN REGION.
UNION PACIFIC EMPLOYEES.
They Meet At Cheyenne to Confer Abou
Wages and = General Federation.

Ahey Meet At Cheyenne to Confer About
Wages and = General Federation.
An important convention Of the rep
resentatives of the various organiza-
tions of Union Pacific employees was
held in Cheyenne on the 28th, says the
Denver Republican. Delegates from
the local organizations throughout the
entire system from Omaha to Portland
were in attendance, and it is believed
the work Of the convention will result
in a solid amalgamation of the en-
ployes of every department.
President Debs of the American
Railway Union explained the purpose
of that organization and urged the nee
essity of united action. The dele.
gates representing the local organiza-
tions of railway trainmen, engineers,
fremen, switchmen and others, voted
unanimously to affiliate with the Rail
way Union in all matters pertaining to
the interests Of the employees in every
department. While the respective or
S@hhLdtiOuo dtc " IcmdlH lutdCI, 40 Uc-
fore, it is proposed that they shall
work in unionism through the medium
of the union. In this way each organi-
zation will have the assurance that it
will receive the assistance Of all other
employees when it is determined that
there is just cause for grievance.
The matter of the conference with
the Union Pacific receivers in refer
cnce to new schedule of wages was
discussed in all its phases. A COM
mittee of five, one from each division
of the system, was appointed to repre-
sent the Union at the conference
called to meet at Omaha on the 18th
of March. Grievance committees rep
rosenting each of the organizations Of
employees will also be in attendance.
1t is the general opinion of the dele
gates that an amicable adjustment of
all matters will be made without the
Intervention of the courts. They say,
however, they are prepared to main
tain their rights and will again appeal
to Judge Caldwell before submitting
to reduction such as YVES proposed by
the order Of Judge Dundy.

''Some time ago owing to continued ill

who have so kindly advertised our

ing The Ne,cs is not now on the mar
ket, as its owner, thanks to DIR. Amick S
treatment, will be able to remain in
Gods country while longer. For the
benefit of those who are suffering from
Asthma, Bronchitis or Consumption,
VIC will say VIC thoroughly believe they
can be cured. The treatment is not
