Democrats in the Next Congress.

When the new congress meets in De

speaker of the house and his steering
committees to run over the democratic
minority quite so roughshod as they
did in the congress which has just eX-
PRED The brutal majority of 112
which the republicans had in the last
house is in the new one cut almost ex-
actly in half. the republican prepOndec-
ance having in the elections of No
vember last been reduced 10 SIS.
If Oklahoma organizes for statehood
in time TO be represented in the Six
tieth congress the republican margin
in the house will be still further y
duced by three. and possibly four
democratic members which the new
state will assuredly send to Washing
ton
In the new house a change of about
twenty-five votes from the republican
side to the democratic will suffice 70
defeat any partisan measure which is
obnoxious to republican cOnstituen
cies having an aggregate population
equal to that of the single state II
Illinois.
The difference in the relative posi-
tiOns of the two parties in the old
house and the new is seen in the fact
that though 40 republicans voted
against the ship subsidy bill in thC
closing days of the recent session. ths
| bill, nevertheless, passed the house El

| In the new senate the democrats

In the long session of congress prs

Hardly. Was it the bonds of cities,

The testimony of Magnate Hartman
before the interstate commerce COM
mission illustrates very clearly the
methods by which colossal fortunes
have been made in the past few years.
His history of the purchase of the
Chicago & Alton railroad and the sub
sequent manipulation of its stocks and
bonds is a very plain story of the way
the trick is done.
Now if the interests only of the
stockholders in the Alton road had
been involved the story he told would
not have so many alarming features.
1t is not so much the amount of mon
ey Mr. Hartman and his associates
made on the deal as it is what will fol-
low their manipulations.
Every dollar of stock and bonds
added TO the Indebtedness of the road
increases its liabilities and represents
something upon which interest and
dividends must be paid. The principal
and interest of this debt will not be
paid by the stockholders of the road,
but by the public out of the freight
and passenger earnings. This will
mean higher rates. higher than they
should be, based on the actual value
of the road.
These high rates will be continued
for years and millions of dollars will be
extracted from the pockets of the peo-
! H. To-,
riman and his associates
1t is estimated that in the Alton deal
and the side issues connected with it
| that Hartman and the syndicate he
represented realized over $72,000,00O
profit. A larger part OF this is repre-
scented by fixed charges on the corpor-
atoms involved and every patron Of
| their road will bear his part of the
burden of their repayment.

DAILY STORY.
THE SURGEONS MEDICATION.

IOriginall
During the four years preceding the

after the firing on Fort Sumter. which
opened the war. He was Il delicate lit
tie fellow, not at all in the fighting line,
the only bullets he took to.being his
pills. He would have liked to stay in
the north, where he would not be eX-
pected to fight. but his father peremp-
toIily ordered him home and the med
zeal knowledge he had Gained was ap-
propriated by the Confederacy.
Little Jeliffe was looked upon as
| being so feminine and received so
many tauntS on that account that he
made up his mind he must do some
thing To prove his manliness. Being
| invited to carouse by some of his
| brother officers, he carried out his in
tention by getting drunk. Fortified
with an infusion of the blood of John

The lieutenant having departed. .Ieliffe
sent for one of his brother officers,
Captain Parker, with whom he was

his beard and said:
