EnrIr Ahinnrnment ProhnhIe.


There is no good reason why congress
should not adjourn by May Is. or at
least by JuneL There IS nothing TO keep
il in session beyond the latter date. All
Of the appropriation bills are in shape TO
be passed quickly. except the river and
harbor bill. and TO that there Is certain
10 be very serious objection. because those
interested in it are insisting upon appro-
priatons much larger than the House
viii agree 10. The record OF this ses-
sion Of congress will be bad one for the
republican party. because little or noth-
Ing Of importance has been done. and
the republican leaders want to be in
position 10 say it has been. at least, an
economical session. For that reason the
river and harbor bill VIII have TO carry
a smaller amount than the last river and
harbor bill did or it Will be permitted TO
go over TO the next session.
When congress assembled Speaker Reed
said it would accomplish nothing. He
saw the situation very clearly. 1t would
have been better for the country if con-
gress had not assembled at all. The kind
Of talk that has been INDUCED in. partic-
ularly in respect to war and silver has
done an immense amount of harm to bust
ness and industrial interests. Business
men would be glad if congress should ad-
journ within a week. Only recently two
commercial bodies in New York adopted
resolutions asking congress to adjourn as
quickly as possible.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been a
congress which commanded so little or
the respect of the people. 1t does not
seem to realize how little attention it
has given to questions upon which the
material welfare of the country depends.
The republicans promised that when they
got hold of the government they would
pass banking and currency bill that
would command the approval of the en-
tire country. The banking and currency
committee has not yet reported a bill
and is not likely to do so, because its
members cannot agree upon the kind of a
bill that should be reported. The chair
man Of the committee has bill of his own
which he would like to report favorably
but the other members of the committee
declare that 1t is such muddled affair
that they cannot understand it.
The record of this session will be made
up of the appropriation bills and pension
bills. That is not a flattering record
for great party. 1t is a record that will
do the republican party a great deal of
harm in the approaching campaign.
Strange as it may seem, the only ones
who oppose a short session are the uninfiu-
entail republican congressman, who are
afraid that if congress adjourned early the
President might do something that would
reawaken enthusiasm among the people
and give the democrats the white house
for another term. They have such a high
appreciation of the political shrewdness
of the President that they would rather
keep congress in session until next winter
than give him chance to strengthen the
popularity Of the democratic party. How
ever 1t is not probable that they win
be permitted to prevent an early adjourn
ment' and it would not be surprising if
congressman should be on the way to their
homes by May 15

of the free silverites in the Senate have

to its hiding places. 1t is true that gold
is timid. And the white metal shouters

Senator Irby of South Carolina is to be
commended for his efforts TO hold the
democracy OF that state into lire with
the rational democracy. and to head of
Tillman's threat to bolt if the Chicago
convention refuses to adopt the Tnlman
financial idea. But il is to be feared that
Senator Irby is not sufficiently strong to
defeat Tillman's purpose. Irby is hardly
more then a figure head of the state exec
utive committee; Tillman holds all of the
wires, and his henchmen are as afraid of
him as of death. They have the idea that
they cannot get or hold Office except by
Humans favor. and as probably the ma
Jority of the executive committee have
put themselves on the slate for an ohce.
Irby may have TO go down.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-The result of the
elections of Tuesday indicated on
Wednesday evening that Vim. McKin-
ley had been elected president and
sGarret A. Hobart vice-president.
The republican pluralities in New
England, New.York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois were heavy, and republicans
who are regarded as well informed
place the electoral vote for Mckinley
at 247 beyond a doubt.
1t is rather early to figure on the
popular vote, but if the returns hold
good that have thus far come IN his
plurality may reach a million or more.
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee has not given up
hope. lie seems to have faith hat
favorable news may be heard from
Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan that
will pull Bryan through.
The Indications are that the states
have voted as follows:

o'clock $4,000 votes had been reported.
Kckinley has a majority of 1900 thus
far, and is gaining. The national com
mitteeman now estimates republican
majority at $500. The state legisla-
ture seems to be in doubt. Only two
counties have made full returns.
YANKToN, S. D., Nov. 4.-Tnis state
is surely republican and will elect con-
gressnen and full state ticket. Legis-
lature is in doubt. Three hundred and
eleven precincts give Mckinley $500
majority, and this will probably be his
majority in the state.

A "HUMAN NATURE" STORY.

Is This Typical of London Police Courtsr
London police courts seem to attract
many persons who are in iced of adj
vice rather than of justice, and who in
this country would never think of seek
ing outside the circle of relatives or
friends. Here is a typical case:
A well-dressed young woman asked
the advice of Mr.. Dickinson at the
Thames police court respecting her
husband. On Monday morning, she
said, when he went out, he promised
to be home to dinner but failed to APP
pear at the dinner hour.
Mr.. Dickinson Gnquiringly)-Has
your husband kept his promises?
Applicant-Yes, until then. Well,
when l found he did not come
home to tea, at seven o'clock thought
l would make it my business to go out
and make some inquiries. On getting
into Chrisp street, who should l see
but my husband on the box-seat of a
break"
Mr.. Dickinson (gently)-Perhaps the
driver was simply giving him a lift
home.
Applicant (emphatically)-No feari
He had been out all day enjoying HIM
self.
We'll, what did you say?'
why, what could Isay?'
Il don't know"
HE afterwards threatened me-
1T is only a little tiff. OF course he
ought not to have gone out for a holt
day without you"
mo, quite right. You see, l have
only been married n few months, and
thought l had better at once put my
foot down. That was why | came to
see YOU"
Talk to him kindly and he won't do
it again"
Very likely, but he had better not"

What Press Reports show.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-Returns re-
.ceived by the United Associated
Presses up to $3.50 p. m, indicate that
Bryan has carried Wyoming and that
Mckinley has carried Oregon, taking
these states out of the doubtful col
7nmna and making McKinley's electoral
vote 265, Bryan's loo, and leaving 16 in
doubt.
Returns and reports received up to
nOon show some changes in the char
adLer of the congressional delegations
from the various states, but the total
strength of the several parties is not
materially changed from that sent out
Tuesday night. They now probably
number: Republicans, 225; sound
money democrats, 2; democrats, los;
silver republicans, fusionists and popu-
lists, -.
The reports received to-day indicate
that the sound money republicans will
not have more than a bare majority in
Ghe senate in the Fifty-ffth congress.
There is a vacancy from Delaware.
The terms of so senators from other
states expire on the 4th of March
next. The remaining 80 members
were last session divided as fol-
lows: Sound money republicans,
27; ali others 80. Of the states to
send new members to the senate next
March, the following either already

sound money republicans: Iowa, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hamp-
shire, Maryland, North Dakota, New
York, South Dakota, Oregon, Yer
mont. Illinois, North Carolina, Kansas,
Connecticut, California, Wisconsin and
Indiana.
These states probably will, or al
ready have, elected silver republicans

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 4.-Republican
Chairman Robert says McKinley's plu-
rality in Kentucky will be between
5000 and 10000. He conceded the
First. Second, Fourth, Sixth and Sew
enth districts to Bryan by pluralities
of from 1O,O31 in the First, down to
1,465 in the Seventh. AS to the congress
sional races he says the First is
in doubt; Second, democratic; Third,
probably republican; Fourth, in doubt;
Fifth, republican; Sixth and Seventh,
democratic; Eighth and Ninth, repub-
lican; Tenth, probably republican, and
Eleventh republican.
Information given out by the Courier
Journal indicate a very close state of
affairs, but with the chances in favor
of Mckinley.
Owen county gives Bryan ., $50 plu-
rality, and Henry gives him 39s. This
insures Col. Breckinridge's defeat for
congress in the Seventh district.
The republicans have filled seven of
the eight legislative vacancies, giving
them 20 votes in joint assembly, a
majority which will enable them to
elect a United States senator.

Courtesy.

The late Gen.. Sir Henry Ponsonby,
Queen Victoria's private secretary,
was noted for his courtesy, and when
yer an artist performed at court he
always telegraphed on the following
day in the name of her majesty to in
quire after the performers health. On
one occasion Rogers Pratt was sent for
to Windsor to exhibit his trained geese
before the royal grandchildren. The
day following he received the tradi-
ditional telegram from Sir Henry,
who, it is needless to add, had not been
present at the performance, and, of
course, ignored the character of the
artists. 1t was couched in the Gus
tomary form. "Her Gracious Majesty
would be delighted to know if the
members of your troup are well, and
if they have had an agreeable journey.

End of the silver Question.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Mr. Hanna came
downstairs in about an hour and
talked freely to the reporters. What,
in your opinion. changed the farmers
vote to Mckinley in the middle west
ern states?!"
Mr.. Hanna paused a moment and
then said: well, the farmers of the
middle west We're away off in the be-
ginning on the money question:, and
OF the results that would follow Me-
klnley's election. They believed at first
that if Mckinley was elected silver
would be wiped out of circulation.
The farmers c%onfounded the gold
standard with recommendation, but they
learned the truth as the result of the
campaign shows"
do you think the tariff question
figured much in the result?"
Yes, sir; decidedly so; it figured
very, very much" and Mr.. llama
was then questioned about what would
be Maj. McKinley's position on the
tariff question.
81 would prefer to let Maj. McKin.
ley speak for himself on that ques.
tion," he replied. Mr.. Hanna then
called attention to what Mckinley
said at the dinner of the Marquette
club in Chicago on February II last,
Lincoln's birthday. Maj. Mckinley
then said: Il am not an advocate for
schedules, but for the principles of
protection"
When asked what he thought of the
advance in securities since election
day, Mr.. Hanna said: 1T was to be
expected, and l predict that every
business interest which depends on
confidence in our government, and
hat means all but speculative inter-
ests, will be permanently benefited.
Inc people are satisfied now that there
will be no wild financial legislation
and this confidence will bring pros
perity. We have the president, the
senate and the house OF representa-
tives, SO there is 40 Don for any kind
of doubt"
DO you feel that the silver question
Is dead?"
"Well, l feel that it is the beginning
Of the end. Idon't hesitate to say that
the result o. this election will bring
ibout a serious consideration of this
question, and that the opinion OF the
country will be reflected in the senate
and congress.
The Importance to the country of
the result cannot be overestimated,
and is a matter of congratulation to
