CONGREss N SESSION.


eFifty-seventhc congress assembled
Monday and Washington viii be the
chief news center for some time-the
doings Of the nations lawmakers being
at all times of vital interest to the
people. Representative Henderson, Of
Iowa, was again chosen speaker of the
house and Senator Frye, of Maine, was
reelected president of the senate. The
first message Of President Roosevelt
was read before both houses Tuesday,
but congress will not get down to real
work before next week, the appointing
of committees, sWeaTing-in Of new
members and arranging Of other pre-
liminaries consuming considerable
time.
Important measures viii be brought
before this session of congress. The
new -Pauncefote treaty, the Nicar-
aguan canal, the government Of the
Philippines and laws regulating their
financial and commercial status, the
trust question and irrigation Of arid
lands in the west are some of the most
important measures to be considered.
Some old jobs will bob up, of course,
such as the river and harbor bill and
the ship subsidy. There will be some
attempt to tinker with the tariff, no
doubt, in the way of reciprocity treaties
but no change in the protective policy
can be expected from republican con-
Rress.
Some new legislation will be attem-
pied, especially law against anarchists
and providing for the punishment of
persons assauIting or killing the presi-
dent or his immediate successor. Still
a congressional criminal law can only
have jurisdiction on a government
reservation, territory or dependency,
and could not apply in any state with
out change in the constitution.
Another subject of great Importance
will be a civil government and tariff
and coinage law for the Philippines
The recent decision of the federal
supreme court will require a tariff law
to meet the case, and the panicky con
dition of business in the islands will
require a special currency and coin age
law.
It is the duty of every citizen to keep
up with the doings of congress, which
will enable him to discharge the duties
of citizenship more wisely and con-
scientioUsly.

A soldier by the name of Pepke in
returning from the Philippines brought
IA diamond rings. They were passed
at San Francisco but were seized by
customhoUse officials at Chicago. The
case was taken to the federal court
and the government contention was
sustained. On an appeal to the United
States supreme court the lower court
was reversed on the ground that the
Philippines are not a foreign country,
and until congress passes some de
finite tariff law covering the case there
vas no law justifyiDg the collection Of
a duty against goods brought from the
Philippines. But as in the case Of
Porto Rico, congress viii put up a tar
if against the islands.

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW.

withhold all eulogies when am dead.
All noisy sOrrOwi
Give me the tender word to-day, instead
OF tears tomorrow.
Come not with flowers to strsw above my
breast
And sigh for me there.
The hawk or crow may haunt the piny crest
shall not be there.
Speak not my name, when have passed from
earth,
In tones of sadness;
At thought of me repress no note Of mirth,
No burst Of gladness.
Regard me not as altered when removed
To the hereafter;
Think of me still as loving and as loved
With JOY and laughter
Delay not, thou whom I have wounded sore,
Till thou Outlive me
To grant the pardon that here implOre,
But now forgive me.
Pretend not that 1 merit sanity fame;
Let mercy save me-
Sufficient for my epitaph the name
My mother gave me.

How to Enforce vaccination.

The attorney general says it is doubt
full if the Kansas law authorizes a city
council to pass an ordinance compelling
school children to be vaccinated. He
explains, however, how practically the
same result can be reached as far as the
public schools are concerned. The city
council, he says, has the power to pass
an ordinance, in the interest of the health
Of the community, prohibiting pupils
from attending school if they have not
been vaccinated. This gives parents the
choice of having their children vaccina-
ted or keeping them out of school. Then,
if the parents keep their children out,
they can be arrested for violating the
compulsory attendance law.

NIiIIions for Education.

State Superintendent Of Schools Mel
son says the value of common school
property in Kansas is S1O,4I7, 1892. Re
ports from the state university, state
agricultural college, state normal, the
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, county high
schools, academies, business colleges
and private institutions indicate that
the value of the property of these in
situations is 1862, 698. This makes the
total value of the school property of the
state s16O3OO9O, or almost as much as
the total value of the state in 1861. Mr.
Nelson estimates that the people Of
Kansas invest every year more than S1O,-
100000 for the education of the youth of
the state from the kindergarten up to
the university.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President ROOsevelt's initial message
to congress was disappointing to those
who expected a radical rather than a
conservative address. The document
is moderately long, containing about
10000 words, and is scholarly and
statesman-like. a good recommends
ton for the author and the worth of
the message is the fact that the reading
was followed closely by the members
Of both the house and senate. Usually
these state documents are given but
half-hearted and forced attention by
the senators and representatives.
Parts Of the message read much like
the president was speaking for his late
predecessor rather than expounding his
own views. Noticeably along this line
is his treatment of the tariff question.
The belief that Mr.. Roosevelt is in
favor Of abolishing a great many of the
hampering high tariff schedules is
probably correct, but be has, no doubt,
subordinated his own policy to that of
Mr.. Mckinley, going only so far as to
recO mmend reciprocity.
On the question of trusts something
better was to be expected from the
president than the mere suggestion
of publicity in their management and
an embargo upon over-capitalization,
and that they should be regulated by
state and nation as banks are super
Vised. The fear expressed that too
rash dealings with the great combina
tions might seriously disturb the deli
cate mechanism of business, may be
taken as an apology for the absence in
the message of more stringent sugges-
tions for dealing with the trusts. But.
perhaps, the president sees an effective
remedy in repeating the high tariffs
which gave the trusts their first i'm
petus, but felt some temerity at this
time in subverting this time honored
republican policy.

The Newspaper,s Power.

A newspaper whose columns overflow
with advertisements of business men,
has more influence in attracting to build
ing up a town, than any other agency
that can be employed. People 60 where
there is business. Capital and labor 90
where there is an enterprising com
munity. No power on earth is so strong
to build up town as q newspaper well
patronized, and its power should be ap-
preciated.-T. Dewitt TaImage.

Cross Between the Cow and Buffalo.
Buffalo Jones, who Is interested In
scheme to produce an animal in the beef
line which shall be to the COW what the
mule is to the horse, has returned from
the Goodnight buffalo ranch in Texas,
says the Topeka Capital, bringing with
him a number Of photos of animals
which are a cross between the COW and
the buffalo. The new creature is called
the "cattalo." J. E Strickrott, the view
photographer, accompanied Mr.. Jones
and made the pictures which are to be
used in presenting the matter to con-
gress.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Goodnight are en-
deavoring to obtain financial assistance
from congress in perfecting the new
hybrid. 1t is claimed that the "rObes"
obtained from it are superior to both the
old buffalo robe and the hide of COW.
The experimenters are producing ami
mails Of one-fourth, one-half and three
quarters blood in an endeavor to ascer-
tain which will be the best for CONNER
cial purposes. Mr.. Jones expects to 60
on to Washington soon to look after the
scheme he is promoting.
