OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

If the new house of representa- tives is republican, that is all right The republicans will have the full re- sponsibility for the national govern ment, during the next two years. and it is but right and proper that they should have full power to solve the many problems which, at the present time, call for solution in the popular interest.-Albany Argus.
 There will be no difficulty in getting the contemplated antitrust bill through congress this winter if the republican leaders will permit it. Democrats will offer no obstruction. All depends on the attitude of few republicans. The question is whether or not their chronic servility to the monopolistic combines is to be aban- doned d-Washington Post Und.).
 -.epublicans will have the next congress in both branches as they have the present one. If the republicans fail to put through whatever legisla- tion they see fit twill not be on account of insufficient members in the party representation. There will be. a s now. republican administration. a repub- hcan senate and republican house. Full responsibility will rest with the republican party, and should the coun- try think it necessary to change the responsibility in 1904 it will be solely owing to failure of the party now in power to make satisfactory use of Its opportunities. = Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE COMING CONGRESS.
Democratic Gains Attest Dissatis- faction of the People in In-
 dustriaI Centers.

The verdict of the people plainly expressed in the vote for representa- tives is that congress must
 Put those products of trusts which are essential to the life. comfort and necessities of the people on the free list, and thereby prevent the further continuance of monopoly under the plea of protection, says the New York World.
 In political complexion the new house is nominally republican by margin of about 24 votes against majority of 45 in the present house. But If such plain issues as putting coal and beef on the free list and reduc- ing the steel schedule of the Dingley tariff could be properly presented. enough republicans would vote "aye" to overthrow their party in the house. The republicans from Massachusetts are pledged to tariff reform: Judge Birdsan. nominated in place of Speak CT Henderson in the Third Iowa dis triet. was accused by the democrats of stealing their platform to stand upon. In Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnes ota, there is open revolt.
 Rightly or wrongly, the leaders of the democracy in this campaign disa- greed with Mir. Cleveland as to the necessity of "a continuous struggle. :" They did not want the house: they made no strenuous effort to gain it, feeling that its possession. with the president and senate republican. would be barren embarrassment. But the people came near thrusting victory upon them against their will. In New York the democrats gain five votes and the republicans lose two. the dele gation gaining three seats by reappor- tionment. Democratic gains of six votes in Pennsylvania, two in Mary land. two in California and one in Del aware further attest the dissatisfac- tion of the people in industrial centers with the party in power and give hope of victory all along the line in 1904 if democracy is steadfast to its time h on- ored principles.

MARK REPUBLICAN COURSE.
The Fun Will Begin when ineS A~ tempt to Revise the
 Tari6.

At last the tariff is going to DC re formed by it's friends-not rlght away, but as soon as it really neeos i.' Some of the duties which protecs bad" trusts must come oil.
 A beginning may be made with the duty on anthracite coal, which Secre- tary Moody says was "smuggied into the Dingley tariff bill in a sneakins and cowardly manner"
 Undoubtedly the president. Tn ms message to congress. will recommend that this smuggled duty be taken of1' and as the duty on soft coal protects the coal trust, or trusts, far more than the duty on anthracite, he must, to DO consistent. recommend that all coal be put on the free list.
 Then the fun will begin, as it always has begun when the republicans nave attempted to revise the tariff down. wards-and indeed by revising it up- wards.
 The trusts will send agents to Wash- ington. These will appear before the ways and means committee, or per- haps before a tariff commission, which the president will recommend. They will loudly proclaim the direfui re- suits that will follow even the slight est lowering of the robber dutles. Each trust agent will gravely inform the commission or their commission (for heretofore the protected manu- lecturers have had their own way in all things) that his particular industry would be ruined. simply wiped off the earth. if the tariff is touched even by friendly hands. He will produce care fully prepared tables showing that in his industry day wages are twice as high in this country IS in Germany or France and 60 per cent. higher than Tn England. He will put up pitiful plea for protection to labor" and "Ameri- can wages for American work ingmen." He will not explain how tariff on goods-what the trusts have to sell--will protect labor-what the workingman has to sell. Neither will he explain why wages are higher in free trade England than in protect
  trust products. made by high-priced labor, are sold in foreign countries in competition with goods made by cheap labor. These details will not prevent him from making most positive asser- tions that the tariff protects the work ingman and free trade would ruin him
 After a year spent in taking testi mony from the protected manufacture ers-the only ones who usually appear before such a eommittee-the commits sion will, unless the agitation for re- vision becomes very acute. calmly de- eide that the tariff protect labor more than the manufacturer, and that it is should be removed; and fourth good or bad.
 In this way one or two years time will be gained by the protected manu lecturers, and perhaps by that time another war will be launched. and will divert the people from the tariff ques tion.
 It is hard to beat the protected trusts.

The demand for tariff revision

"The demand for tariff revision is plainly not from any one party, nor from any one class of citizens; it is na- tional in character and extent. The Dingley tariff has outlived both its usefulness and its popularity, except with that small fraction of the nation. the monopolymongers, who are pull ing all the plums out of the pudding of prosperity, and who naturally agree with Senator Hanna that the situation is ''well enough as it is" and should be "let alone" The tide of public opin- ion has plainly turned toward tari1 reform.-Baltimore Sun.

4 Great speech.

A lawyer whose eloquence was of
the spread eagle sort was addressing
the jury ut great length, and his legal
opponent, growing weary, went out
side to rest.
"Mr. B. is making a great speech"
said a friend to the bored counsel.
"Oh, yes; Mr.. B. always makes a
great speech. If you OF l had occasion
to announce that two and two make
four, we'd be Just fools enough to blurt
it right out. Not SO Mr.. B. He would
say:

as addition, we desired to arrive at the

THE CITY SCHOOLS,
BY the superintendent.
Il O. GALE.

at the joint meeting of the
teachers and the parents Tuesday
afternoon, all the teachers were
present and a few others.
Mr.. Hitchcock showed the general
interest of the public in education
by reading selections from five or six
recent magazines on the subject,
written by able authors. He en-
phasized several points made in the
articles. Mr.. Hitchcock believes that
t~horoughness in the common branches
is Of the greatest Importance, that
teachers should have a high ideal of
their Work,-that they should give
to it their best efforts, that the
pupils not up to grade should be
provided for,-that the education of
the hand should keep pace with the
brain and that the popular notion
that physical labor is consistent
with educated manhood should be
discountenanced.
Mrs. Vermilyea spoke upon the re.
~lations of the parent and teacher.
She showed that their interests arc
Identical and asked for a closer rela.
tionship and an opportunity to Sc.
cure mutual understanding. In 'ac.
cordance with her suggestions &
committee of three to represent the
parents ard three to represent the
teachers was appointed to arrange
for joint parents and teachers meet
ings. Mr.. Hitchcock nominated Mrs
Vermilyea, Mrs. Frank Winsor an(
Mrs. S. II. Scallin to represent thu
parents, and Prof. Hoff nominated
Miss COrWin, Miss Miner and Mis-.
Patterson to represent the teachers
The teachers are unanimous ii

Ees5a StrettOn,

1t is not generally known that Hesba
stretton, who resides in London, took
the name of Hesba from the initials Of
her five sisters. while the surname
Stretton owes its origin to the village
OF Church Stretton, in Shropshire,
where her father was postmaster. Eliz-
abeth, II Of her younger sisters, sent
Miss Stretton's first story to Charles
Dickens, who at once accepted it and
asked for more" Her greatest sue
cess was "Jessica's First Prayer
which has been translated into Arabic,

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Don't crowd fruit trees. Give room
for air and sunshine.
A dead limb is a source of disease.
1t also shows lack of vitality in the
tree.
AS an orchard canno be kept con-
stantly under the pillow, it Is best to
grow clover in it.
Onions will not stand dampness, but
will endure slight freezing if not han

Stimulating the grape by animal ma
nures makes it grow until late in the
fall. and the wood does not ripen well.
In taking up trees from the nursery
see that the roots are taken up a foot
long to hold them firmly without stalk.

If the pear trees bear spotted or
cracked fruit, a liberal dressing of
wood ashes is a good remedy. Scatter
them around the trunk as far out as
the branches extend and wash the
trunk with soapsuds.

Strain of High Speed.

The question has been raised wheth-
er, If it should be practicable to attain
to a speed of 100 miles or more an hour
by rail, the engineer could stand the
strain, says the Philadelphia Record.
1t has been affirmed by a physician
that such fearful going would wear out
his nerves in a little while. The ques-
ton has been answered already by one
experienced engineer before a meeting
Of scientists. Asked as to the probable
effects in case of a common accident
of a speed of more than sixty miles an
hour. he said: "a smashup at sixty
miles an hour would make splinters of
everything. At 100 miles the splinters
might be finer, but the destruction
could not be more complete"-that is
to say, when an engineer runs his
engine at sixty miles he is under as
severe a strain as he would be at any
other speed.

Lightning Never Strikes the Sea

lightning never Str1AeS inc ScAs
Professor John ~Trowbridge of Har-
yard has lately made a series Of exper-
iments with electric sparks six feet in
length which he thinks show that
lightning never strikes the surface Of
the ocean. His experiments were I'M
dertaken with a view to volatizing wa
ter for the purpose of obtaining a
strong spectrum of water vapor. But
he found that his sparks Of high cleo
tro-motive force and as far as possible
resembling lightning always refused
to strike the surface of the water and
pas sed instead to the edges of the yes
sci containing it. Hc also found it e
trajnely difficult to pass powerful
sparks from II stream CT water to au,
other. An interesting conclusion which
he draws is that "it does not seem
probable that lightning discharges pass
through regions in the air of heavy
rainfall"
