"One at Time, if You Please"

One dark and rainy winters night
the writer was ordered to carry food to
the men in the trenches. A team was
hitched up, and with loaded wagon

CONGRESS MONDAY.

The day for the regular meeting Of Con-
grfss is fixed by the constitution on the
iiiat Monday of December. and hence
the new Congress will assemble next
Monday. Nothing will be done on that
day butte swear In the mpers elect and
choose Speaker, for after these things
are accomplished both bodies Will ad-
Journ out of respect to the memory of the
Vice President. The Presidents annual
message will be sent In on Tuesday, and
OF course Ii will be an unusually impor-
tant document. 1t will treat of many
questions virtually new, questions which
this country has had little or no expert
ence with in the past. The legislation of
the session will be guided to very large
extent, no doubt, by the representations
and recommendations of the chief exeou
tive, for Congress is, in both branches,
in political sympathy with him, and as to
many Of the pending questions he is, by
reason of experience and familiarity with
them, better qualified than Congress to
point out what should be done. AS re-
yards our new colonies especially, Con
gress will be guided Ito very large eS-
tent by the wishes OF the executive.
One of the first questions which Con-
gress will deal with will be the currency
question. 1t has been In allegiance many
years on account of lack If harmony
among Republicans as well as Democrats
as to the proper thing to be done. Har-
mony has now teen secured and the Re-
publiosns will be unit in favor of writ

measures to keep our currency upon

cans have. prepared to this end has al
ready been made public, 1t Is q clear cut,
Incorporating NEE irs and Its msan-
ing Is in no way doubtful. 1t makes the
geld dollar the money unit. forbids the

simply for placing our currency ON . gold
basis. In name as well as In fact. and keep
ing II there There 10 scarcely a doubt
but this bill will be speedily passed,
though the silver element Of the Demo-
cratic minority will make vigorous resis-
lance. There will be a great many bills
before Congress calling for large : expen-
ditures of money. such as the Ni,aragua
canal bill, the shipping subsidy bill and
several bills for the laying Of cables. IL
is In bills OF this character that the prin-
cipal danger to the Republican party lies.
A period Of prosperity IL likely to be q
period of extravagsuce. There will exist
very slrong temptations to indulge In
reckless expenditure Of money. and
to hold the majority down to economy

constitutes a serious danger, and the Re-
publican leaders ought to exert their
influence to the utmost to avert It,. Many

are bound to make on account Of mill
