the gay festivities Of the holiday season and
on the eve of Presidential inauguration.

be looked for. AS the various members Of
TIE Senate have been pollcd here and at
their homes it has become clear that there
exists an adverse majority to The passage Of
Il revenue measure upon any protective
lines, however moderate. Those Demo-
Gratis who can be depended upon to vote
with the Republicans against free coinage
are scarcely less radical than their Southern
colleagues in opposition to an increase of
tariff duties. Several, at least, Of the free
coinage Republicans, and most of the
Populists, must he counted upon as oppo-
nents of revenue legislation which contem-
plates an increase of duties. Within the
past few days it has developed that there
has been an informal conference among Il
number Of Democratic Senators, at which 4.
proposition was favorably considered whose
object is avowcdly to exhibit the lack of Il
Republican majority in the Senate. This
proposition is in the form of suggestion
to be made by Senator German, in con-
junction with the several free coinage
Democrats, that they will offer no obstruc.
tion to the taking up of the Dingley bill or
to vote being had upon that measure.
All the Senators referred to will vote
against the Dingley bill in any form, but
they are prepared to promise the Republi
cans that they will content themselves with
formally placing on record their objections
to an increase of tariff duties, and will see
to it that vote is quickly secured. After
canvassing the Senate they state that they
are satisfied there will be a majority of
nine against the passage of any tariff legis-
lation by the Senate at the present session
OF Congress.

of experimental stations have also been
established under Government auspices, by
which the farmer has been taught how ''tp

nance the value of his labor
Mr.. Harwood states that there are at this
time about 5000 students in these agricUl-
tural, State fostered institutions. Nearly
II, 900 600 acres of land have been granted
to them by the general Government and
more than $1,000, 600 have been realized
| from the sale Of the land thus far put on
the market. The value Of the buildings
and grounds of the agricultural colleges
reaches 10000, 600, and the value OF their
libraries and scientific apparatus is S3,5OO,-
600. A table containing the number of
graduates returning to the farms from
twenty-six State Agricultural Colleges is
presented, showing that in many cases a
large percentage engage directly in the
work for which they are prepared by the
institutions That this is not the result in
all cases is not through any neglect on the
part of the Government to induce graduates
to become practical farmers. The writer
animadverts to the disposition of the auth
critics OF some of the agricultural colleges
to provide "too generous curriculum by
which young farmers are tempted to engage
in pursuits other than farming, and insists
that the model institution so arranges its
course that the student twill, perforce,
become an agricultnrist. This criticism
of the management of our agricultural col
leges is borne out by the facts. Certain
institutions of this character too closely
resemble the ordinary college or university,
with an agricultural annex as preteNt for
the demand for Federal or State aid, This
is matter for TIE attcnton of The farmers,
who complain that modern education tends
TO draw young men away from the farms
to city and Gown occupations. SO far as
provision iol agricultural education is coz
ccmrd, the Government has generously
fostered agriculture, and has aided it in
every other way chat il can be aided within
constitutional limitations.

THE CANTON PROGRAMME.

Expectation has become so general, and
the hope INDUCED that the present Con
gress would Immediately, and in a business
like manner address itself 10 the pressing
necessity of relieving the government of its
accommodating deficiencies, that the pros
pect of special session of Congress is not
being very favorably received by the
country at large.
There seems however such Il diversity Of
opinion upon the part Of Republican
leaders, that at this writing a special SEES
sion of the lfty-ffth Congress seems newt
able
Senator Sherman has all along favored
the immediate passage of some measure,
that will provide sufficient revenue to
enable the Treasury to meet current eX'
penses even if such measure should he

believes it would be advisable to so amend
the Dingley Bill, as to make it acceptable
to majority of the Senate.
On the other hand many Republican
leaders do not favor the proposition, and
prefer that nothing should be done at the
present session of Congress.
Writing from Washington, a well-knowil
correspondent reports that the proposition
that seems to meet the approval of most OF
the Republicans, and which is believed to
be the Canton programme, is to enact nc
revenue measure at the present session,
leaving that and the question of currency
reform to the Fifty-ffth Congress, which
will be called by President Mckinley be-
| fore the close of the month of March to
assemble about the first of April. In the
meantime the Ways and Means Committee
is to formulate a Tariff bill, which is 30

act so far as general construction and
classifications are concerned, but with the
rates in many cases materially reduced.
This bill could be presented to the House
soon after the assembling of Congress, and
under the rules of that body its passage

the Committee on RulCs. IN the Senate
however, its progress would not be so eX-
peditiOus, and there is no telling how long
it would be held in that body. Much
would depend upo1 the character Of the
bill, and much mor' upon tic disposition
of the opposition.
While many do not deny that the bust
ness interests Of the country would be
materially benefited if relief could be
afforded to the Treasury between now and
the 18th of March, and the country given a
rest from political discussion, there is gem
eral consent that under circumstances
which now seem to control no revenue
bill can be passed before the dissolution of
the Fifty-fourth Congress. Those most
familiar with the course Of procedure in
the Senate, and the difficulties attending
the passage of affirmative Legislation in that
body when the controlling majority is
large and party discipline firm, declare that
the enactment of the Dingley bill in any
form satisfactory to Republicans is not to

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during the
winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State OF Florida Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
aud unhealthiul changes Of the North seems
almost ethereal it is pre-emincntIy Il land of
sport and pleasure Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt walter coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety from The migratory
tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpOn, pompano, and others OF a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety Of
game or better sport.
Hero also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, III keys. bears. pauthrr-
and wild cats roam at large through the
more sparsely settled regions, white birds o.
all kinds may be found in abundance through
out the state. The moro novel sport Of ALI
gator and manHtce hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate. its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing. its fishing and hunting, and its eX.
tensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
| attractions for the valetudnarian, the lover
of nature, the sportsman, and the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonalIy conducted tours during the season Of
1897. leaving by special train January &c.
