HOUSTON, SATURDAY, DEC. 3, 1sos
TEN PAGES TODAY,
rHE SESSIONS OF CONGRESS-.

A congress has just been chosen in this
country after discussion of new issues OF
crest moment to the Nation, but by the
time that congress assemblies, unless called
in extra session, some OF these new ques-
ttons Will have become almost ancient his
tory.
The fact has again led to tho discussion
Of the ACCESSIBILITY of having each congress
meet Immediately after the election in
which 1t was selected. ciommenting on this
regularity of cur government the Mexican
Herald. of tine City OF Mexico says;
Thus we see the anomaly of a congress fresh
from the people having to remain poweress
In guiding public affairs at most critical
time. OF course IL may be argued that the
elections and may now push forward its plans
regardless of the possible lukawarmnesS OF
tho existing congress, but the glazing absurd
tty o! the holding over nf new legislature
for so long period Is apparent.
The London Economics elso lhas s9rne
thing 10 say in She prsMises. 1t sees In
this postponement of the first meeting Of
new congresses direct cause OF much OBJ
struotion TO legislation. 1t remarks:
What is the usual result OF this strange
provision of the constitutions First. that the
lives of politicians are In perpetual turmoil.
n, sooner has member of congress taken
his seat than he is obliged, II he desires re-
election. to begin working up his next CAM
paign- The strain is so great that Washing
ton politicians are worn out faster than any
other men in the world. In the next place.
as the time of the politician Is spent In pull
ing tho wires for his next nomination, he can
not be doing his public duty and. ms n matter
OF fact, he often IS not. Thus legislation il
seriously affected. and matters which should
so through with celebrity are postponed for
session after session.
J-,lar
gathered together fresh from the people
and full OF the questions upon which they
were elected, there would be stronger dis
position manifested to enact nj once Into
law the popular demands. Bui. on the
either hand, may 1t not be true that the
time allowed for reflection and the cooling
on process, is beneficial, in many in
stances. 10 the country? 1t IS not good
time to undertake legislation m'hen the pas
sions are still aroused and popular excite
ment runs high. 1t was the fear OF the
fathers OF the republic that the National
house would become turbulent and possibly
revolutionary. and they adopted every safe
guard possible to prevent passion and eS-
element in the popular branch. The Pc
ouliar constitution OF the senate was one
OF the means provided as a check on the
house, and defemed organization was prob
Gbiy another.
STILL, as suggested, Thirteen months after
being chosen on live issues is long time
TO keep representatives out of Ghcir seats.
and Vt might be good compromise II the
first regular meeting and organization were
fixed by law for an earlier date--Say the
+th Of March.

Elgin, Texas, November 2s.--The New.

Dental elections have been carried alter
nately with the regularity of foir-year
clock by each of the two great political
parties. The record is: 1872. Grant, re-
Publican; 1876. Tilden, democrat; 1880, Gar
field, republican; 1884, Cleveland. democrat:
1855, Harrison, republican; 1892, Cleveland,
democrat; 1896, Mckinley, republican. In
1900, according to the mule the president
should be democrat. Wiil history repeat
itself, and who will be the MANI"
In answer we say William j. Bryan will
be the man. The rule referred to by the
New York World carries with it an intima

other vicious measures. is the ''rule" to be
applied by this presidential clock makers
ana IS tantamnunt to party success, then
iet uae pendulum, and the indicator, for

Polltical parties are constructed upon prin-

by political parties in exchange for the SUP

They Are Going to Investigate Gal

Fort Worth, Texas, December 2.-Secre-
tary Crensh,w of the Texas Grain Dealers
association was busy yesterday mailing cut
transportation to the members, having
completed arrangements for the excursion
to Galveston on December 4. On the morn
ing OF that day they will leave their re-
spective homes Ia as to arrive in Galveston
in the afternoon and evening of the same
day. On the sixth day they will at once
proceed 10 inspect the shipping facilJties
of the Texas seaport. Tie eXpory Grade in
corn from Galveston Is becoming something
enormous. 1t is estimated, says Mr.. Cren
shaw, that between 10000. 900 and $4,000 600
bushels of that grain will be shipped from
Galveston this year, to say nothing OF the
great and growing trade in wheat and other
cereals.

Anti-Semitic feeling still high. That it is
especially strong in those parts of Europe and Africa
where the Israelits most is another in
dubitabe fact 1t may be safely asserted that
even in the quietest times is this feeling wholly ex-
tnct. The popular outbreaks against the Jews
evident, so frequent-or to more homely but
expressive word-so Catching and uniform in
character that their horrors have bafed the power
of brush and pencil
Of bitter and Of persecution, of suffering be-
You'd mans power to describe it's depth of all that is
sad and sorrowul the history of the Jewish nation
marves as he turns the pages of that history. He
wonders how the feroctv of man could enact
this horrible tragedy, and then he wonders how his
race survived.
1t would be vain and painful task to recite the
thousandth part of what history tells us here. And
it is certain that history does in this case as in
many others, falsify the facts. These narratives
all written by the actors. who took horrid
pride in recounting their nfamy.
We are all more or less acquainted with the his
tory of the Jews in SPAIN the birthplace of the Inqu

virtuous Isabella, proposed decree for the expul-

FROM the Jewish Publication Society we have just
received Dreams of the Ghetto" This book is
collection of short stories by I. Zengw, most if
not ALL of which have previously been published and
Interpolation of which is worldwide. Among the Sc
res might be mentioned 1.-THE Dreamer of the Ghetto"
"Joseph the Dreamer" Uriel Acosta," The Turk
ish Messiah" The Lens Maker, )" Main on the Fool
and Nathan the Wise" :" From a Mattress Grave"
"Chad Gadya,' and others.
AS is usual with the works of this writer, the
style is elegant and the dction fautless, each
ton being distinct gem in the literary armament.
Throughout the entire collection there is among
the leading characters spirit of dissatisfaction with
Judaism a subtle yearning for something better and
more spiritual; longing for imaginary and indie
scribable ideal that is never to be attained
Although this idearis in keeping with the sprit of
the book it is insidious one, and is capable of
doing much harm. 1t is commendabe that
should have high IDEALS but that he should by in
snnation create dissatisfaction with those things
that are and make himself miserable by longing for
he knows not what or that which does not exist is
neither right reasonable. Progress necessarily
causes much ruin but when that ruin avails naught,
and nothing is substituted for that which is taken
away, it becomes wantonness.
The stories themselves lack nothing of interest,
and are calculated to hold the attention of any
reader
ANOTHER has been added to the long list of crimes
of which Jews are guilty. The New York Press

hilt and that the Queen Regent and infant king
