TUESDAY. AUGUST s. 1872.

This is a doubtful day, according
to astrology. Jupiter and Saturn
are 10th in malefic aspect.
Under this sway the mind is likely
10 txke on a gloomy and uncertain
aspect. and a cheerful mood should be
cultivated.
There Is every indication of a
clash between persons who belong
20 the old era of the world and
those who represent progress.
Politics will reflect the influences
of the planetary government, which
Is at this time most powerful in its
effect on humanity.
The seers point out that this Is
transition period in the world when
old things are falling away and
when much that is good must in
eyitably be lost. even though the
general trend is forward.
Mater. .alism. which has long been
encouraged by the stars. will take
many gu'ses even stranger than
that which arouses the craving for
everlasting youth.

that II is suffering from the effects

DRESIDENT HARDING, addressing
L the extra session of congress which
opened Monday of last week, appealed
for the enactment of a ship subsidy
bill. He said there were but three
courses to be taken in this matter
constructive, obstructive and de-
structive." And though he admitted
there is, even in his own party, de-
cided opposition to such measure, he
urged that congress take the construc-
tive course. He argued that the meas
ure as drafted provided complete safe
guards against exploitation for IA
vored interests and said that he be-
lieved government aid for the mer-
chant marine was as justifable as gov
eminent aid of industry through tariff
laws or railways through land grants
and loans, and government expendi-
lures for good roads, inland water
ways, reclamation and irrigation
projects.
Mr.. Harding especially emphasized
the point that the contemplated legis-
lation would not call for new expendi-
lures, but instead proposes to substf-
tute for the present annual drain of
S50,000,000 upon the public treasury
direct compensation equal to a trife
more than half that amount.
Congress listened to the President
calmly and coldly and then the major
ity got busy with the program, to do
the best it could in the circumstances.
The bill was quickly reported favor
ably by the committee on merchant
Marine and on Wednesday the house
adopted a special rule for it's consider
alton. This provided for three days of
general debate and three for consider
alton of amendments, and final vote
OH Wednesday Of this week. Mean
while the Democratic members in eau
Gus decided to oppose the measure
solidly, and some Republicans let it
be known they would vote in the mega
tive because they thought the people
of their districts didn't want the bill
T%HERE were two interesting fea-
1 lures of the senate's session Tues

delayed the presentation Of his Gre
dentials that this historic event might
take place.. Next day Mrs. FELTON,
answered once to her name in the roll
call, told the senate how proud she
was, and retired after % hours and
Is minutes of actual service.
The other feature was the bringing
up of the Ku K1ux Klan matter. A let
ter from Governor Parker of Louisiana
to a New York ex-service man was
read by Senator Walsh of Massachu-
sets. It urged that senators and con-
gressmen be asked to assist in com
