What Congress WIN DO.

A prominent Ksnssn, well posted on
political conditions, has the following
to say In regard to the work of the
next Congress:
"My prediction is that the next Con.
gress will be the most corrupt and
prohigste that we have had since the
dit-Mobiller steals. Cleveland will
recommend the issuing of $500, 100000
of bonds to retire the S346,0O0OO0 Of
greenbacks and the $l5O,OO0,OOO of
treasury notes. The Pacific railroad
will engineer the scheme to defraud
the government out of its debt; the
manufacturer will be on hand to re.
store the tariff in their special interest
and the banks to get complete control
of the issuing of money. If the issuing
of 2,500,000 Of bonds furnish
$8,000.0C0 Of a steal, how much will
$500,000,000 furnishP The money
power, the banks, the special tariff,
corporations and the Pacific railroad
interests can furnish a Doodle fund of
$100, 100000 to carry out their schemes.
In addition to this there will be an
other powerful lobby to obtain more
ship contracts, subsidies, etc., and in.
creased compensation for carrying
mails. Besides there is hardly a cor
rupt old salt in the Republican party

"The cattle supply-that ia, to say,

off more rapidly than usual, so
that If the present high prices Of beef
continue, by the next year the cattle

Where Such Condition Is Unusual.
WASHINGTON, October 20.--Reports
received at the Weather Bureau indi.
cate the present drouth 10 one Of the
ssverest, most prolonged and general
known In the United States since the
bureaus organization. There are q
few places which show an exception
to the general condition, but in no
large section Of country unless per-
haps in the Northwest and far West
does there appear to have been heavy
rain for the past two months or more,
Where there has been exceptional pre-.
cipitation it has been confined to small
areas. In some parts Of the country
the drouth began In the latter part OF
July, but In most Of the sections 1t did
not become markedly pronounced until
in August.
The entire Atlantic coast, with few
exceptions, such as Charleston, s. c.,
and Augusta, Ga, shows q deficiency
below the normal rainfall since the 1st
of August, amounting in some In.
stances to almost half of the average
precipitation. The Ohio and MisBls-
slppi valleys report similar conditions,
as does q part Of the Pacific. The
Great Lake region upon the whole has
Jared better than other sections Of the
country esGt Of the Mississippi. In
some parts Of the Rocky mountain re.
gion, as in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah
and Nevada, there have been exces.
siVe rsinfalls during this period, and
along the Pacific coast from Olympia
to San Francisco there were good rains
in September, as there have been In
places since then, in that section.
Further east, Fort Smith, Ark, In
disnspolls, Ind, and ST.. Paul, Minn.,
are the centerS Of the districts where
the drouth was broken in September.
There have been good rains also In
parts of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and
Kansas.
The greatest complaints come from
West Virginia, Kentucky, and western
Pennsylvania. Fortunately, In most
parts of the country the drouth did
not set in until after the principal
crops were matured, consequently the
effect has not been 30 disastrous as It
would have been II 1t had begun
earlier. In some places IL has had q
slight effect on the planting Of winter
wheat, and complaints come from
many quarters Of the Inconvenience Of
securing water for domestic and stock
purposes, many small streams, stock
ponde, springs and wells having become
dry. Pastures have been injured in
many States. 1t Is also noticeable that
there has been an increase OF typhoid

REPORTS ON KANSAS CROPS
The Agricultural Bureau Is Enlightened by
the Report Of Q Special Agent.

bN6 AopOkg Va % 1ROCA4A AfSuAAts
WASHINGTON, October 19.-When
Secretary Morton assumed charge OF
the Agricultural Department there
was at Garden City, Kss., a grass and
forage experiment farm which had
cost between $4,000 and $4,000. He
decided that it was more of an expense
than q necessity and discontinued it,
Recently he directed a special agent to
make Investigations at Garden City
and report to the department upon
the conditions there. The report has
been received from Manhattan, Kss.
1t says: "At Garden City l saw the old
grass garden and the old State Expert
ment Station. No credence whatever
is to be given to DR.. Sewall's reports Of
his work, for he did nothing but draw
his pay. Hungarian bronze grass was
not q success In that region, and is not
now, for it is quickly run out by
buffalo grass. Sewsll was a politician
and was interested in Garden City
financially. All his reports were for
the purpose Of inducing people to i'm
migrate to that region. There Is not
one tangible result for all the money
spent upon the grass garden under his
control. He lived much of the time in
South Denver, where he was In the
real estate business. All the work
that he did was to talk up the country
and get men to invest in Garden City
land. The station staff consisted of
himself, his son and his son.in. law,
and they worked the garden for all the
money there was in it.
"The garden was established at Gar
den City because of political inau-
ences. The land boomers there thought
that it would be good thing 70 have
a part of the public funds spent in
their neighborhood and the thing was
run as steal from beginning to end.
/ think that a grass station is not
needed at this point. Alfalfa seed is
the money crop ofthe region. Alfalfa
hay and almost any other kind Of hay
can be raised If given water enough
and at the right season, but there isn't
a market for all the products raised
there now. 1t would not be advisable
to encourage the growing Of the tame
grasses unless a market for the dis
posal of the products could be found

are produced in more than sufficient

CURIOUS DIAMOND.
A Stone That Resembles the Face
of Premier Salisbury.

Philadelphia Record.
A few weeks ago a diamond of un-
usual size was found in the De Beers
mines, in South Africa, and sent to
Streeter'S, in London.
This remarkable stone, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, had already been found
to resemble human face in profile
on both sides. Well proportioned feat
ures were clearly chiSeled out against
a background, the hair and beard be-
ing especially clearly defined in detail.
1t was left to one of the directors of
Streeter's to make the curious and
interesting discovery that this truly
remarkable gem portrayed the feat
urreS of the Conservative leader Not
an exact likeness, perhaps, but quite
sufficiently clearly defined to be ac-
cepted by the Cecil family, and to al
low Lord Salisbury to consent to have
this historic brilliant named after him.
The curious part of all, however, is
that the stone should have waited all
on the world until, in the most glorious
week of the Salisbury triumph, il
should have suddenly appeared in
Bond street, astonishing all who have
seen it by the extraordinarily faithful
manner in which every detail of the
human head is delineated, and still
more wonderful by it's very presenta-
bic resemblance to the premier. Ex-
pert evidence places 1t beyond all
doubt that it is entirely a work of ma
no part in the production xf the like
ness.
When exposed to the fierce and
searching light of a microscope, and
Illuminated by electricity, the eye
cleaned and sparkled like fire.
1t will scarcely be believed that
gentleman of strong Un.opist tenden-
cies, on seeing the stone, declared that
if one face of it resembSed Lord Sails
bury, he saw a distinct likeness to the
Duke of Devonshire on the other. The
future of the stone is at present un-
certain. but 1t will probably be on
view at some public place.

The Man Who Was in 1t Enjoyed

The Man Who Was in 1t Enjoyed
1t Less Than the Spectators.
Sun River (Iont.) Sun.
3 in August of '66 I was running a.
bull train between Helena and Fort
Benton, on the down trip and at
noon went into camp where the
house of John D. Brown now stands.
At about o'clock camp was broken
and we moved on toward Priest
Crossing, the water being too high
at Sun river. After going about two
miles shot and wounded an old doe
antelope, accompanied by two fawns,
and l determined that I would have
all three of those animals, and gave
chase, firing whenever I could get
within range, until I had exhausted
my ammunition. This was before the
days of breech-loading guns. 1 final
ly got the two fawns and tied them
on behind my saddle and and started
to catch up with the ''train.' 1
was as much as six miles behind.
without cap or a bullet, only two
empty six-shooters and a rife. l
paced along until 1 came to what is
known as the Signboard Coulee.
i noticed that my saddle pony
kept turning to the left. Finally l
looked over that way myself and
could see the head and shoulders
of a person down in the coulee. L
spurred UP into a gallop, and in
moment could see that there were
eight persons instead of one, and also
that they were Piegan Indians in
full war paint and feathers. They
Immediately gave chase, and for the
next six miles occurred one of the
most exciting races that I ever took
part in. Seeing that the weight OF
the fawns was telling in the speed
of my horse, I cut them loose and
at the same time threw away my
overcoat, and taking the ramrod out
of my rifle I used it as a whip and
gained little on my pursuers. The
last two miles of the race was in
plain view of the train. The train
halted and I supposed that one Of
the drivers would come to my as
sistance, but no relief came; they
dropped their whips and jaws at the
same time and waved their hats
and hands and halloed Run" 1
was doing the best I could.
The Indians chased me to within
about $50 yards of the train, when
Bob Chestnut, now of the Chestnut
Valley, came in sight from the direc-
ton Of the Sun river and opened fire
on the Indians. They stopped chas-
ing me and ran the other way. 1t
never occurred to the drivers that
they had guns until after Mr.. Chest
nut commenced firing. There are
many old-timers in Montana who
will remember this incident well.

will depend upon your own tempera,
ment or way of looking at things"
Hence to some it is a. disappointment,
to others a fascination. Under the
shadow of Murillo's huge Immaculate
Conception it seems much smaller than
it really is, and like Leonardo's other
great picture, in Milan, the colors are
faded and the outlines, here and there,
almost gone. 1t represents woman's S
face and upper figure against back
ground of rocky landscape. The hair,
held in place by band at the fore
head, falls loosely each side of the
head. The eyes look sidewise into
yours. and the mouth wears a very
peculiar expression. Indeed, it is this
peculiar expression which individual
| ICES the whole countenance and stamps
the picture as remarkable.
"What a crafty smile,' exclaimed
an English lady near me; exactly as
1 fancy Becky Sharp's to have been.
Thus to the woman of the world the
Mona Lisa represents the woman of
the world, crafty and designing To
others. the prim picture, the staidly
crossed hands, contrasting with the
upward lines of the mouth, indicate
suppressed mirthfulness, one who en-
joys, perhaps, a subtle joke and to
whom life itself is more or less a
comedy. To others still, those deer
eyes and that mysterious mouth attes'
a profoundly spiritual nature, which
can distinguish between realities and
illusions and can force half pitying,
half cynical smile for her foolish Eel
| low creatures. Of all the artists who
set their easels before this famous
lady and give the world unwarranta5ie
copies of her, probably not one pre-
| tends to understand her truly. In
addition to her titles of Mona Lisa and
La Joconde, she might as appropri-
| ately be known as the Mysterious
| Lady. The Mona Lisa is to art his
| tory what Shakespea-e's sonnets are
| to romantic history, the Man with the
Iron Mask to tragic history-an un-
| solved problem.

ITO a certain extent, yes" I am

The election of this brilliant and
courtly old German as mayor of per-
haps the most cosmopolitan city in
the United States was a warning
from the people to the monopolists.
His victory was a revolt against
grasping corporations. 1t demon
strates conclusively that the people,
the long suffering people, possess the
strongest possible weapons and will
use them when pushed too far to the
wall.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5,-Pos-
sibly the most picturesque figure in
San Francisco today is its mayor,
Hon. Adolph Sutro. He looks like
a Bedouin of the desert, with his
swarthy complexion, piercing black
eyes and snowy hair. He only needs
the folds of a gay burnoose and the
white turban swathed about his
forehead to make the resemblance
complete. He has some what OF
the Arab in his temperament, too,
especially when it comes to fighting,
for he makes war directly, aggres-
siveIy and brilliantly, even as the
sons Of the desert so swooping down
upon their enemies. Sutro became
mayor of this city through a hot
fight with one OF the most audacious
and grasping mOnopolies in the
country. He is essentially thesfriend
of the people. He fought for their
rights and was rewarded by the
gift of the highest Office in the mu-
nicipality
Mr.. Sutro is popularity called a
Jew. He 81 a German, born at AK
la-Chapelle. In the early fifties he
came to California and built up a
fortune in trade. His great strike,
however, was in the Comstock mines
and the famous Sutro tunnel, from
which he cleared over $5,0O0 900,
