Congress Next Week.

The last session of the Fifty Sixth Congress
will begin on Monday next and close on the
4th of next March. The President will send
in his annual message on Monday or Tuesday,
but he has been so vascillating in the past
that his words will not have the usual weight
of Presidential messesshges. Everybody re-
members his ''plain duty to Porto Rico" talk
a year ago, and how he changed from a
free trade position TO tariff tax. In view OF
this, and his change on 'forcible annexation
being criminal aggression" and other mat
tiers, the people will take what the President
says upon foreign or colonial matters with
some feeling of ofuncertainty. The message will
be in accord with the views of Mark Hanna, but
if Hanna changes bis mind the President may
be expected TO do SO also.

VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTS.
Annual Report of the Official in
Charge of Such Gases.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-E. c. Branden-
burg, in charge of bankruptcy matters, has
made report on the operation OF the Bank
ruplcy act of July l, 1898. The report says
with reference to voluntary cases that advant-
age is being taken of the law by men of all
classes.
The States showing the greatest number of
petitions filed during the year are Illinois with
zoos; New York, with 3,007; Iowa, 1872;
Ohio, S57; Minnesota, s45, and Pennsylva-
MIA, 800.
The smallest number of voluntary petitions
were flied in the following States: Nevada,
q; Delaware and Wyoming, IL each; Idaho,
80; South Carolina, 81; Oklahoma, S9; Florl-
da, 81, and Rhode Island, 6S.
The grand total of petitions filed in the
United States for the period ended Septem
ber 80, 1900, is 20, 128 exclusive of those for
the Western district of Louisiana, the district
of Alaska, and for half of the year for the
Southern district of Georgia, New Jersey. the
Eastern district of North Carolina. the West
ern district of Tennessee and the Eastern dis
trict of Virginia, from which semi-annual re-
ports were not received.
From the clerks reports it appears that OF
the voluntary petitions all were declared bank
rupt except 237, ia which the petitions were
dismissed, and that discharges were refused
in II cases. Compositions were confirmed
in 206 cases.
The liabilities in 9,540 voluntary cases re-
ported by the referees amounted 10 1894. 9I9,
l52, while the total amount Of assets scheld-
ued in these cases was S33.09S.77l.
The nature of the business in which the
petitioning bankrupts were engaged, as dis
closed by the summary of the referees re-
ports, is proportioned as follows 2,o57 were
farmers, $40 wage-earners, 1892 merchants.
361 manufacturers, 500 professional men and
4,435 contractors, hotel keepers and others OF
| a miscellaneous character.
The petitions show that of those adjudicated
involuntary bankrupts "a were wage -earners,
694 merchants. 102 manufacturers, 8 profes
sional men, 1856 miscellaneous aud farmers.

The OLD HOMESTEAD in which Denman
Thompson will appear in his original of Joshua
Whitcomb at the Academy of Music next
week, is a play without any pretensions to
strong or intricate plot, aud yet its absence
does not lessen the interest, for it is & success
sion of scenes in which country life in New
England and city life in the metropolis are
strongly contrasted. 1t is pastoral and homely
and through it all runs the story of two young
men who were cast adrift by their own folly
and intemperance, aud restored to home and
honor by well directed moral persuasions.

THANKSGIVING Day.

The President of the United States desig-
mated Thursday, November 20, as day Of
Thanksgiving and Prayer and the Governor
of each of the forty five states designated the
same day for the same purpose. Perhaps one
person in twenty-five attended some house OF
worship on that day-mostly females-and
most the balance spent the day in idleness,
pleasure and gluttony.
In all the cities special attractions were
announced at all the theatres and amusement
halls of high and low degree, and there were
football games, bicycle and autom obile races,
horse races, with betting and gambling devices,
golfgames, bowling matches, tennis Journeys,
whist games, fox hunts. prize fights, dances, re-
ceptions and parties; some people went fish,
ing and cunning, and most all felt it incum-
bent upon them to eat big dinner, perhaps
over-eat. Truly, 1t is a question whether or
not Thanksgiving Day, diverted from its good
uses. is not more of an injury than a benefit
to mankind Instead of thanks for the many
blessings of life and praise for the Giver, it is
made rather day of dissipation, with every
thing as the phrase goes, ''wide OPEN" And
year by year the day is getting further and
further away from what it is intended to be.

But she's only gone before us,
The first one of our band;
She's gone to dwell with Jesus.
In that bright aud better land.
But now she's Joined the angelic host
And sings the heavenly songs:

Until our summons comes
Farewell daughter, soon we'll follow,
And appear before His throne;

Physicians in vain;

And eased her OF her pain.
Our hearts are sad and lonely
Our grief too deep to tell;
But time will come TO us soon,
When we may with her dwell.
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly sink away;
Yet In our hearts we often prayed
That she might longer stay

1t was announced by the Republican press
and orators that the resistance of the Filipinos
to the authority of the United States was sus-
tanned by the hope of Bryan's election, and
that the "rebellon'' would collapse upon the
re election of Mckinley. Mckinley was re-
elected, and yet the Filipinos have been more
active since the election than Immediately
before. The war in the Philippines will now
have to be explained upon some other theory
than hope from Democratic success. The
Filpiuos must be in earnest in desiring free
