AsPERITY AND AMENTTY
 IN CONGRESS
saxoxard in Washington Post.

In 1872 the Republicans gained as great victory as that they achieved in 1904; but when the last session of there was little good-fellowship be- tween the members of opposite parties in the two Houses. The Democrats hated Benjamin F. Butler, the real Re- publican leader with all the hatred of fear and all the hatred of loathing. George F. Hoar was a Representative from Massachusetts, and he marched under the folds of the bloody shirt. John A. Bingham was yet prosecuting in fervid terms and declamatory tones, traitors and doing his utmost to make treason odious. Even Dan Voorhees. most lovable man, was not welcome on the Republican side. and Lewis D. Campbell, an old Whig, Republican of an earlier day, but now Democrat. who had defeated Robert O. Schenck in the Dayton district, was looked upon than Vallandigharn. Garfield had nev- CT said a word of magnanimtty ip speaking of the prostrate South, but with all his splendid talents 6gd he Raa Raa guilty of the stupendous folly of sup posing that a people of the same blood as himself could be ruled by their inferior of all the races of the human family
 How different is it nowI Tn 1872 the Republicans were 5ubilant, exultant.
  In 1904 they scarcely mentioned 1t when the Fifty-eighth Congress con vened last month. It was not that they were no longer Parsssasns, Sl sn ,,,sl1e toe a party issue of this question, Shall we have a pure judiciary and they took the negative side of it, too. That showed that if they were magnanimous in victory they were also demoralized by a sense of responsibility. Had Roosevelts election been as closely contested as, and his victory no great CT than. Garfield's in 1880, or Harri, son's in 1888, it would have been all the better for the Republican party and the country.
 And thus the asperlties of politics have been immeasurably softened since the time that Grow or Pennsylvania and Keith of South Carolina had fist fight on the floor of the House in open session. preclpitated by the incident that Grow happened to be on the Dem Ocratic side for some purpose or other. and that eoisode had much to do in the Thirty seventh Congress, when John Sherman preferred the Senator ship vacated by Chase to the speaker ship of the House The hercest pnlllp- pie pronounced In Congress in the past fifty years was John Young Browns at tack on old Ben Butler: If were to characterize everything that Is pusil. luminous in war. etc. puL It would day: Biaine's and Garfield's greatest speeches would be listened to with im- patience; Binghanl's most 'fervid ora tory would call forth derisive laugh ter and John A. I1gan's inveetives against treason and traitors would be hissed.

Wet Weather on the Farms.


 If the weather man keeps giving us this sort of weather" remarked a prominent Montgomery County farm CT yesterday, i've won't have anything in the spring on our farms except a number Of natural lakes. I have seen 1t rain as much before but I never saw the persistency with which this last raining spell has held on.
 Tt IS almost impossible to drive to town except on those roads which have received attention from the County Board of Revenue and even some of them are not in the best of condition. One of my wagons, drawn by two big mules. got stuck in a bog of the road near my farm yesterday afternoon and 1t was two hours before could get me- and mules enough to move it.
 eff the wet weather doesn't inter- fere, there Is going to be a great fruit crop in Montgomery County this spring. The farmers are rslsing a lot of peaches and apples will be plenti- full"
