The Majority in Congress.

The list Of members Of The next House
of Representatives, as prepared by Thos.
II. Mckee journal clerk OF the nouse,
shows tha, they number 2OS Republicans
and lis Democrats. The Democrats in
clude all Of the opponents Of the Republic
can party in the House, the Populisis
hayi taken refuge under that name.
A Republican majority OF thirty Is ample,
and j., at the same time, more than twice
as much as the party had on the face Of
the returns in lSgS. when the preceding
"ofT year" House was chosen.
The "PopulIsJ' and silver men have
practically disappeared, They failed to
carry a single Northern State in the re-
cent contest, while they lost Idaho, Mon
tana. Colorado and other States. In Mas
sachuseits aud in some other States where
the Democrats ignored the Bryan plat
form a good many Democrats voted for
the Socialist nominees, which has given
the Socialist party undue prominence. 1t
is not likely to attain any considerable
size in this country Where the Bryan
men controlled, as in Ohio, they were
worse defeated than when Bryan himself
led the ticket.
In the South no real election took place
eS cepling in Maryland, West Virginia
and Delaware, which went Republican
These three States are not really southern
States any more, as the Democratic meth
DDS OF carrying elections in them were
overthrown by Republican laws. Some
Of tho Southern legislation which has
disfranchised colored meu in that section
will no doubt be overthrown by the Su-
preme Court, before which 1t has been
taken for decision. The Republican par
I ty has been able TO carry the nation 10y
tremendous majorities, even with the
Southern States counted for the Demo
crats. without anything more than the
pretense ofan election. That has set al
rest the Democratic delusion that it could
carry the country by DISTINGUISHING such
a large body of voters. The Southern
/ Democrats have more trouble in store foT
them, growing out Of uhei; extraordinary
I defiance ofthe law.
The Republican Congress, with such {
large majority in view Of the extraordi
nary situation in the South, makes GER
tain Republican victory in 1904, If Con
gress performs its duty. All depends OF
the record to he made in the way Of leg
islation.-Phila. Press.

BRUSSELS SUGAR CONVENTION.
Horse Of Commons Approved Govern.
ment's Action In Signing.

London, Nov. 25.--After q lengthy de-
bate the house OF commons passei a
resolution approving the action Of th 3
British government in signing the
Brussels sugar convention. by 2lS votes
T. l96.
TIE house itself and the public gal
laries were crowded in anticipation Of
the discussion. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain. wAo sails on his mission
to South Africa November 25. was the
centre oi attraction and he made the
speech Of the evening. Party lines
were not observed during the debate,
several Unionist members supporting
Sir William Harcourt's ameniment to
censure the government Tor its action.
The possible attitude Of the United
States government in this question en-
tered largely into the debate. Thomas
Shaw. Liberal. maintained that in
orler to live up tc the terms Of ths
convention Great Britain would be
compelled 70 enforce the countervail-
ing duties against the United States
and Russia with the result that the
Wes, Indies would be robbed OF their
best customer. as the United States
now took four-hfthS OF the West
lniian produce.
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that Great
Britain must carry out its fiscal
system in its own way without the
slightest reference TO the opinion OF
foreign countries. The ahnegation of
the governments attitude at the sugar
conference, he said. would be breach
Of International faith.
Abolition Of the sugar bounties
was merely a matter Of common jus
tice to the West Indies. while at the
same time such action restored the
re ations bstween sapital and labor
and prCsuction ami exchange to their
natural phase
He maintained that even II the
pecuniary sacrifice that those in Great
Britain might make in paying trifio
more for their sugar were twice as
great they were still bound to abol-
ish the bounties and to relieve the
West Indies On the grounds Of national
honor and justice to all parts OF the
empire.

THE volcanic Mrs. Carrie Nation was in
eruption at the New York horse show
last week. On this occasion she directed
hot air at some of the overdressed and
underdressed, conspicuously and ridicu-
lousy dressed women, who enter into
rivalry with the horses for masculine at
tention. Little sympathy will be ex-
tended to the victims of her attacks, al
though her conduct was that Of a vulgar
and ruffainly fanatic, when she called
out to those who offended against her
standard of modesty and good taste, You
ought to be ashamed TO wear such dis
graceful clothes. Take them off, take
them off al once, and attire yourself more
modestly." Il may be, however, that a
few rude reproofs administered in public,
even at the sacrifice Of good order and
genteel bearing, would accomplish more
in the correction of women's offences in
dress against good taste and modesty
than all OF the mild protests which it is
possible for the judicious to raise.
