For more than four months the War
Department has known that we were
to send soldiers to Havana as soon as
Blanco would allow. For three months
regiments, brigades and divisions have
been under orders to be ready to go to
Cuba. Yet when there is call for trans
ports, not one that is fit for any
thing but cattle is ready for work The
same indecent and criminal scenes that
were witnessed when the army was
brought back from Cuba are enacted
again in the Sending of soldiers to the
island although millions of dollars have
been spent in the purchase of vessels by
the Government. The Enthusiastically
the preachers-who thought We should
not keep alive the memory of the scam
dals, may see in Secretary Alger's repe-
tition of his former blunders, how i'm
portant it was to bring him to exposure
and punishment for his war offenses. AS
long as that incompetent politician is
allowed to hold his office, these disgrace
ful things will make the American patriot
blush The soldiers are regarded and
treated like brutes by the War Depart
ment.

Speaking of the senatorial contest in
Connecticut, Nutmeg State repre- senta-
tive said yesterday
"Hawley will unquestionably have the
largest number of votes on the first bal
lot and it is probable that he will have
a majority. I place the chances of the
various candidates in this order: Haw
ley, Russell, Fessenden, Bulkeley. I pre-
sumo that many of those who are fairly
well acquainted with the political situa-
ton will be for a moment surprised at
this order of preference. Most of these
would, very likely. place Russell's name
at the end of the list.
THE fact is. however, that the peculiar
conditions make Russelrs chances second
only to those of Hawley. Morgan Bulke-
ley is very friendly to Russelrs candi-
dacy, although he wants the place for
himself. He is, on the other hand, bound
to keep Samuel Fessenden out of the place
in any event, and he will do anything to
beat Fessenden. Six years ago Bulkeley
had won the race for the senatorship
against Hawley. practically. when he de-
liberately turned enough of his votes over
to Hawley to elect him. He did this be-
cause Fessenden, who had pretended to
be a supporter of Bulkeley, had begun to
poll votes for himself in the caucus. Nor
gan G. Bulkeley never forgives breach
of faith like that. This year. if he sees
that he has no chance for the election. l
expect to see him turn a number of his
votes over to Russell. 1t is fact that
a number of members of the legislature
from Eastern Connecticut are really Rus
sell men, but intend to vote for Bulkeley
on the first ballot as compliment. This
is the case with the representatives in
the assembly from Willimantic and from
one or two other towns in Windham
County. But of course Russells chances
of showing any strength depend upon the
strength of the Bulkeley and Fessenden
forces and of the scattering vote on the
| first ballot"
When the next Congressional apportion-
| ment takes place. which will be based on
the census of 1860, an effort will be made
| to have the representation in the Congress
and the electoral college changed to con-
form to the number of votes cast and not
on the totalspopulation as at present. Tho
existing system, it is claimed, Is unfair to
many States II is pointed out that Mis-
sissippi only polled total vote of 70,500

Senator Quay has gained first b.ood in
his legal battle in the Keystone State.
He has secured a postponement of the
trial of his case until next month. This

the present postponement of his case

High society in America will mourn
in sympathy with the low that the
promised visit of the Prince of Wales
is delusion. He has not thought
of crossing the Atlantic. although
the Tenderfoin of New York is said
to be wide open" and swell society
would welcome him as never Briton was.
1t is not his leg that restrains him. He
has been a prince ever since his birth and
he knows that the society men of the
great Republic would not allow him to
be conspicuous by his limp Every one
of them would cultivate the appearance
of an anchylosis of the knee joint. 1t is
the age of his mother-the Possibility of
n sudden call to take up the social duties
of kingship-that prevents him from going
SO far away from home. A thousand
years n poor man sat watching the
gates of paradise. A moment he slept
and in that moment the gates opened
wide and shut. II the Queen should die
the Prince of Wales would not>be three
thousand miles away with all the dangers
of ocean travel before him, after waiting
so many years. He is almost an old man
now and cannot afford to take risks.
Senator Quay has gained positive
victory over his prosecutors. He has had
his trial delayed until after the expiration
of the term of District Attorney Graham,
who knows most about his case and whom
he fears most. If he can prevent Graham's S
successor from employing that able and
determined lawyer for the prosecution,
he may escape trial altogether, which will
be great triumph for innocence.

There Is some gossip to the effect that
Congress may not adjourn for its GUS
tomary recess this year. Exceptions to
the rule have been made in the past
The disposition to adjourn for the hoii-
days is generally pretty strong, and 1t
has been found to be impossible TO keep
quorum in either house during the holi-
day season. Little would probably be
gained in the matter of expediting busi-
ness II Congress refused to take a recess.
Some statesmen, however, think that II
would look better to> the people of the
country at large for Congress TO go

tention TO business, in view of the many

GENERAL POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The President expects to start tomor-r
row on his Southern trip and will prob
ably be absent from the Capital for ten
days. This will bring his return right
up to the edge CT Christmas, and If Con-
gress takes its usual holiday recess this
year 1t will have adjourned before the
President gets bavk to the White House.
Therefore 1t is more than likely that the
Paris treaty of peace which was signed
on Saturday cannot be semitic the Senate
for ratification until after Congress reas-
sembles in January This means that
there will be no vote on the ratification
of the treaty before February l, If then.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee
will require at least two weeks to give
to the consideration of the treaty before
reporting IL back to the Senate, and
some of the anti-expansion senators say
that they are prepared to debate the
treaty for an indefinite period. How
ever, 1t Is more than likely that when
these gentlemen are brought face to face
with he,issue that the msjority of them
will weaken before the strong current of
public opinion.
President Mckinley is not especially
concerned his close friends say. over the
ultimate fate of the treaty In the Senate.
He Is satisfied that the treaty will De
ratified ultimately, but what he Is par
ticularly anxious about is to have the
treaty ratified before the expiration of
| the present Congress on March a. 1899
He believes that the prompt ratification
of the treaty would give the United
| States better standing abroad. and, in
| cidentaily, 1t might do away with the
necessity for calling an extra session OF
the tifty-sixth Congress. In the tudg-
ment of conservative observers 1t will be
| extremely difficult to have action taken
on the treaty during the lifetime OF the
| present session.
There is some gossip to the effect that
Congress may not adjourn for its GUS
tomary recess this year. Exceptions to

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

Is due not only To the originality and
simplicity of the com hination. but also
to the care and skill with which it is
inufactured by scientific processes
known TO the CALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. and we wish TO impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup OF Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFoREIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured byother par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families. makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as 1t acts on the kidneys. liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and il does not grippe nor
nauseatc. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
