Republican Policy in Congress.

There Is more or less speculation IN
political circles as TO what policy the
Republicans in Congress will adopt
for the coming session. Some are of
the opinion that thcy will undertake
to secure control OF ;he Senate by
some sort OF an alliance. with 4 view
to l~rgislatin% upon certain subjects III
Il definite aud responsible way. while
others feel confident that no attempt
Of that kind will be made. Int that
great care will be taken to avoid pos
tive action in any important respect.
1t is likely that the latter view Will
prove 10 br the cOrrcc; one. There
il nothing I0r the Republicans to gain
by getting control Of The Senate so
long a. there is 4 Democratic Presi-
dent. particularly when such a result
involves the necessity of Il trade with
another party. They can defeat Dem
ocratic project, of all kinds with their
majority in the House. aud still not
have 20 assume any responsibility for
legislation. 1t would not be in their
power even if thcy mad the Senate TO
pass laws conforming to the principles
and purposes OF their party. because
the veto OF the President would pre-
vent anything OF that kind: and there
is certainly no reason why they should
put themselves in the way of sharing
with the Democrats the blame for lack
of necessary and proper legislation.

CATS ARE NOT SELFISH.

The domestic eat has never ranked
highly in the scale of intelligence, because
il is said to have affection for places and
not for persons. am strongly inclined to
think this is misapprehension. 1t has
been said that persons who are fond of cats
exhibit weakness of intellect. [ must plead
guilty to the fondness my friends must
Gecide about the weakness. As a SOCIOLOGY
had pet cat which would follow me to
school just like "A dog, and remaining in
the strawberries around, would wait to
return with me. My father at one period
always returned home from his duties at "a
certain hour in the evening. This cat
would wait for him at certain point in
the road, and as soon as he approached
would spring out, gambol little around
him, and then trot yard or two in front
of bin for the quarter of mile between
the meeting point and home.
Later in life | had cat, which accom-
panied my family during three removals.
On each occasion he was carried in the
arms through the open road from the old
house to the new one. Not once did he
desert us or IT turn to the former dwelling.
This same cat surprised me one morning as
| was dressing by mewing outside my door,
and on opening it he deposited before me
half-grown rabbit, quite uninjured. The
servant told me afterward that the cat was
waiting patiently outside the door when
she opened it, and proceeded at once up
stairs with its burden, carrying it as moth
ers do their kittens The cats pleasure
seemed unbounded when | took up the
frightened creature and stroked it, and on
my putting it down again he made no
attempt to kill it.
My idea is that the cat knew that was
fond of pets, for was surrounded in those
days by all kinds of animals, and he
wanted to make me present, and so
brought me a new pet. My own experience
is that although the cat is undoubtedly
inferior to the dog in intelligence, it is far
from being the stupid and selfish creature
many suppose it to be.

THE SUPREME COURT
Secretary Gresham Mentioned as Possible
Member Of It.
III Health May Hasten the
jackson From the Bench.

The continued illness of Justice Jackson
of the Supreme Court, and the altogether
unexpected effect which his inability to at
tend the deliberations of that body has had
upon the consideration of the income tax
cases. has called renewed attention to the
question of his retirement from the bench,
and speculation as to his successor is being
generally INDUCED in. Some time ago the
announcement was made by some of JUS
tice Jackson's friends, and presumably upon
his authority, that in case he did rot sub
stantally recuperate he would retire from
the Supreme Court in October next. Since
then there has been no Improvement IN his
physical condition, and now 1t Is stated in
usually well-informed quarters that his
resignation at any time in the early future
would not be surprising. This runor has
renewed the gossip about Secretary Gres-
hams judicial aspirations. and 1t is freely
declared that in case of Justice Jackson's
retirement the head of the State Depart
ment will be selected as his successor.
In some circles it is alleged, that whep
Mr.. Gresham accepted a portfolio from
Mr.. Cleveland he did so with the under
the Supreme bench il a vacancy occurred
therein during the last half of President
ClevelandS administration This is prob
ably untrue, neither the President or
Secretary Gresham are the kind of men
who would enter into such a barter, in
volving, as 1t would, a principle so OBJ
HoXious to them both. There Is no doubt.
however. that Mr.. Greshams ambition has
long been centered upon the Supreme
Court, and it is equally true that President
Cleveland has an exalted estimation of his
judicial abilities. With these conditions In
view. therefore, the possible retirement of
Justice jackson may have the effect of
changing the personnel of the cabinet in
very important particular.

ocratic convention. This would include two
delegates each from the three organized
territories and the same number from In
dian and Alaska territories. Such delegates
were admitted at the last convention. So
1t seems that the carrying out of the Illi-
nois idea to its utmost possibilities means
serious consequences to the democracy.
The Work VIII Go On.
1t is believed that in several of the states
given the organization Of the democratic
state compittees is against the free coin
age Of silver, and that coinage conventions
will not be held, yet the work of securing
favorable delegations to a silver candidate
and silver platform next year will pro-
coed, and it is possible that meetings with
out the regular organization may be called
to give voice to the sentiments Of the sill
yer democracy If the state committees
should refuse to act. OF course, much de-
pends upon the result Of the Illinois con-
vention. Should there be pronounced sill
yer sentiment, a declaration Of no uncer-
tain meaning in favor of the unlimited
coinage of silver at 16 to !. without regard
to what other countries may do, there ap-
pears little doubt that 1t would be followed
by similar conventions in nearly ali of the
states named, and the silver issue placed
prominently at the front as democratic
cardinal principle in the next campaign.

PRESIDENT AND SENATE.
One Instance Where MIR. Cleveland
Yielded to the Legislators.

1t has been said very often that Presi-
dent Cleveland never bends his will to any,
thing, and especially to Congress, nor, to
carry the specially still farther. to the
Senate. And yet in one instance he has
done so. Mr.. William l.. Wilson was sla ted
for the Mexican mission. His friends
wanted him to have the place. 1t was a
mild climate, suited to his constitution,
and the duties were light, and such as he
could easily perform, and yet obtain rest
after his arduouS labors of the past two
years. Besides, the salary was about
double that of a cabinet position, and in
Mexico $l7. 500 would be nearly doubled or
that amount spent would be nearly
doubled, because an American dollar Is
worth twice as much the Mexican
dollar, that country being upon a silver
basis. 1t is understood that the President
would have gladly appointed Mr.. Wilson
to this place. not that he will not appre
ciate his abilities in the cabinet, but that
the Mexican mission was for many reasons
the best place. But the Senate decreed
the death of Minister Gray that a petition
was circulated and signed by nearly every
Senator asking for the appointment of
Senator Ransom to the vacancy. The
President acCeded to the wishes of the
Senate in this instance, and named the
man they had selected rather than his own
personal choice Mr.. Wilson was given the
next best place at hand, and, from one
stsr dpoint, much more important place.
A cabinet officer will always stand higher
in importance than in the best diplomatic
position. though many men choose the
c1eign service as mole pleasant and less
wearing

BETTER INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.
Factories That Have Been Closed Re
suminS Operations.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April S.-Last week
at the Pennsylvania steel works, at Steel
ton, was one of unusual activity when
viewed in the light of the business depres-
sion of the past two years. Every depart
ment had a full complement of men at
work, and the frog shop had double turns
on. The product at the rail mill was all
Trails, and unusually large, while that of
the open-hearth furnaces was up to it's
capacity. The bridge and construction de-
partment is stocked with work and orders
sufficient to keep it busy for long time.
Not for several years have the prospects
been as bright for busy summer as they
are at the present time.
TRENTON, NJ, April S-The New
Brunswick Rubber Company, employing
about 500 hands, resumed work today.
This factory has been shut down about six
weeks, owing to the general depression in
the rubber business.
The United States Rubber Company has
made a definite arrangement about resum-
ing work. 1t is thought they will start up
in two or three weeks. About 500 hands
are waiting anXiously for the word to COM
mence work.
The Meyer Rubber Company at Milltown
employs about 600 hands. and has been
shut down for over a month. Work will
probably be resumed about April 10.

Ex-CONsUL wALLER's CASE.

The State Department Waiting for In
formation and Puzzled Over the Delay
The State Department officials are puz-
zled at the delay in receiving an official re-
port upon the case Of eX-Urited States
Consul Waller, who is reported to be lam
gushing in French military Jail in NADIA
gascar. 1t is now nine days since the de-
partment cabled to United States Consul
Campbell at Port Louis, Mauritius, the
nearest cable point for a report.
He had heard the story Of Walters treat
ment at the hands of the French, of the
attempts to drive him from his concession
and finally of his arrest and conviction on
convenient charge of reasonable cor
respondence with the Hovas. But these
matters came to him only by hearsay he
being 800 miles away from Madagascar.
The department usually acts only upon
official Information, and is now waiting to
secure report from Consul Campbell,
who, it Is expected, has communicated with
United Consul Wetter. at Tamatave. &nd
requested a statement of the case. 1t is
surmised that the delay in the case may
be caused by the difficulty Consul Wetter
is experiencing in getting information from
the French officials, who are not well dis
posed toward him on account of some
trouble that arose over the granting Of
his eXequatur.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Senator PettiErew Docs Not Believe 1t
Will Accomplish Anything.

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, ac-
companied by his wife, will leave this
country on Wednesday next for Europe,
expecting to be absent until July. The
Senator is still of the opinion that the pro-
posed international monetary conference
will accomplish nothing, because the at
titude of England will be opposed to
change. ut is.'' he said, like inviting
the chicken to come down and hold a con-
ference with the fox to ask England to
consent to a change in the monetary
standard. England is a creditor nation,
and it cannot be expected that she will
voluntarily agree to accept half the amount
due her for the whole sum. She will de-
mand the pound of flesh. 1 not only do not
expect the conference to accomplish desira-
BILE results but l think it a mistake for
this country to have manifested any de-
sire for such meeting. 1 am one of those
who believe there is big advantage to be
gained by the United States in inaugural
ing policy of free coinage of silver alone,
and l fear the effect of the conference, if
one is held will be to dull interest in the
question and thus injure the cause here,

THE CONVENTION CITIES.
Not Much Interest Yet I'm the Location
of the National Gatherings.

There is not much discussion yet about
the place of holding the next national con-
ventions, though there has been some talk
about 1t. There seems to be holding back
by different cities to see If Chicago is to
enter the race, and If she does probably
other towns will rot make such a grand
effort as was the case in 1892, when Chi
cago announced that with the worlds fair
she did not care to bid on conventions
But even then one of the conventions went
to the western metropolis. 1t has been
stated that Minneapolis will again be in
the field for the republican convention.
All the facilities that were afforded the
last convention are available at the flour
city now, but the boom that was given
her at that time Is not being pushed quite
SO vigorously as four years ago. A cor
respondent of a Minneapolis paper started
the Minneapolis convention wheel going
and kept it going until the convention
finally landed there. Another northwestern
correspondent by personal friendship with
four members of the national committee
from the far west secured the necessary
votes which landed the convention In Min
neapolis, as these four would have located
it at Chicago If they had not voted for
Minneapolis when the break came. Neither
of the newspaper men ever got any credit
at home for their efforts. and 1t is said
that neither is making any particular pull
for Minneapolis at this time. 1t is even
said that they could not even obtain from
the Minneapolis committee more than one
fourth rate tickets for friends, and not
even honorable mention was accorded
them, by the eXultant Minneapoltans, who
went home with their victory. 1t is eX-
pected that both committees will meet in
Washington next winter to decide upon
the conventions location. but before that
it is expected that the cities that are can
didates will have made their canvass and
prepared their presentations for conven-
ton honors long in advance. San Fran
cisco has already begun its campaign for
the republican convention, and is doing
considerable in the way of advertising the
accommodations which that city affords.
If it were not for the lack of telegraph
facilities and cost of going so far to a
convention it might be that San Fran
cisco would be selected. The newspaper
men would vote heartily for San Fran
cisco and would enjoy the trip out there
beyond all question. The difference in time
between the east and. the Pacific. three
hours, would probably be factor work
ing against Frisco. as the events of the
morning and afternoon could only be
known in the next morning papers, while
the happenings of the late afternoon and
evening would not be told in the east until
the appearance of the afternoon papers.
