On last Thursday Speaker Joseph
q. Cannon announced the commit
tees for the SiXticth congress. Con
gresham Madison r. Smith was
placed on two very important com
mittces, that of labor. and levee and
improvements for the Mississippi
river. This is the first time that
this congressional district has ever
been so honored, and we think that
Mr.. Smiths success is due to his
recognized ability and the needs of
the district. 1t is not often that a
'new member" representing mi
nority party, is so fortunate as to
get assignments on two so import
ant committees. We further under
stand that Speaker Cannon ''k;cked
like bay steer" against appointing
Congressman Smith on these com
mittees, bat that John Sharp Will
liams, minority leader, Champ
Clark and Smith "stood pat" and
demanded it, so Cannon finally
consented. With the influence of
these committees, we predict that
Mr.. Smith will be heard from in the
interests of his great district. and
that by the end of this session his
"home people" will re-nominate
him.-Festus News.

out quail hunting last week with
their 5000 guns, were caught by a
farmer armed with an old single
barrel shot gun held together with
atow string, and held up for trespass-
ing. They declared that they hadn't
seen the notice warning persons not
to hunt in that field, and were lei
off by giving up their fine bag Of
quail. The heart-breaking feature
ofthe episode was that the birds had
been promised to the Record.

The highest tariff on record. Il full
dinner pail, prosperity spell-binders
in the saddle, the republicans in full
control ofall branches ofthe general
government, what in the world do
they mean by calling upon US to
keep quiet, tread lightly and help
restore confidence. Didn't they tell
us z. o. p. Success meant confidence?
Didn't they tell us that sound money,
gold standard all that meant conf
dence? The '93 panic was stavad
off for nearly year in order to
turn it over TO democratic admin
stration, but this one would not
stave off. 1t came in ahead Of
schedule time. Tried to do too much
business on confidence. Really.
now, don't you think it about time
to quit basing our money and our

who are working the confidence
racket upon us and put our none

raid on confidence, the base, in order
to make millions from the depressed
valuation which they fix upon enter
prises and products? The confidence
men want to cure the evil by increas-
ing the risk, by extending the privi-
lege of credits, by giving the people
bigger doses of confidence to

About Marriages.
Brooklyn Easls.)

The idea that marriages ought to bs encouraged under any and all ciroum- stances, which may be proper in tho development of new country. is not suitable to the complex conditions st city where larger and larger and larger number of people apply for charity each year, and where the lists of the unemployed grow monthly longer. Marriage is serious matter. In view of it's grave responsibilities. 1t is hyp- ercritlcal and foolish to object to | law which imposes needed obstacles to foolish and inclandestine mar rages, because 1t also imposes fifteen minutes of unpleasant publicity upon young woman in the license bureau. The observation and comment enooun- tered on the wedding journey are be- yond question tenfold more objection able than the brief visit to tho license bureau, yet the very girls in whose behalf this plea against the license bu- reau is made voluntarily undertake the wedding journey ct the behest of fashion. Such objections as there arc to the workings ot the marriage lie cense law are solely because 1t Is new. and they will disappear as the practice becomes the established custom. Ths good that the law does Is positive and constant. and for that reason 1t should not bechanged.

 Tho old chronicles of Tabriz, writes an odessa correspondent form a pain rul record Of sicges and conflicts of earthquakes and destruction by natur- al causes During the last generation the city had to a great extent recover cd it's former prominent position, The city has been variously named Tabri2 and Tavris but its original name was no doubt Taurus. ll is situated 4000 feet above the level of the Caspian sea. In 1872 its walls had a circum- ference of three and half miles.
 The city possesses hut few buildings Of note and Of the extensive ruins m which 1t abounds there are very few that merit the study Of the archocolo- gst, Mounsey in 1866 mentioned especially the famous blue mosque; the lark" or citadel, containing the palace Of the snah's heir, a gloomy and trowning structure in the center of the city, the Great Maidan, an open square, and the ba2aars. The mosque, which Mountsey ascrIbes to Shah Ab- bas, is really that of Turcoman Jahan Shah O410-6S).
