WKDXKSHAY, FEBRUARY 2S, ISM.
THK Democratic majority in tlio House is large but apparently useless.
Tiik Democratic party, like Gaul, is divided into two parts: Those who swear by the Wilson bill and those who swear at it. 7''7777
.}i kkx I.II. may as well send her crown to the junk shop, and Minister Willis may as well come home ns his occupation is gone.
Tnr. price of wheat is loss than a cent a pound and the tendency is still downward. Where is that SI.25 wheat that the,^Democrats promised the
l'oK two weeks the House lias been in a deadlock for lack of a quorum. A quorum is present but the Speaker refuses to count. If the Democrats long ago had adopted Heed's sensible rule in counting a quorum they would not be humiliated by their failure in a police court method to accomplish the same.
Till.-- sentiment from the majority report of the Senate Foreign Affairs committee will make the ears of drover Cleveland tingle:
When a crown falls iu any kingdom of the Western hemisphere it is pulverized. and when a scepter depart- it departs forever. hen Minister Willis reads these lines he. too, will wish that Morgan had never been born.
What effect will the Wilson Bill have on the business interest of the country? This is a question which is uppermost in the public mind at present. The Presidents of the Chambers of Commerce at New York, Boston, San Francisco and New Orleans have set forth their views on the subject in a timely and important symposium entitled "Home Industries and the Wilson Hill" that will appear in the March number of the XurOi American /iei'iew,
-Tin'. Louisville Post is a Democratic sheet in every respect, but it fires three very prominent Democratic Senators out of its party in this fashion:
Senator Mofgan. of Alabama, an alleged Democrat, is leading the Republican forces in the Senate on the issue raised by the situation fn Hawaii. Senator Hill leads the Republican forces against the coniirmation of appointments made by a Democratic President. Senator Gorman will probably lead the Republicans in their contest against the Wilson bill. Evidently these Senators don't care what happens so it does not happen to them.
Tun Louisville t'ourivr-.hjimial, discussing the recent Pennsylvania election and the big plurality given for I irow, remarks:
No good can come to the Democracy from closing its eyes to the fact that, beginning with the November elections, wherever an expression of the people at the polls has been had an indication has been given that the surface drift is as present against the party in power."
No getting away from this fact, and the Cuurlcr-Juuninl wants to know -what its party is going to do about it.
Now THAT the cuckoo is abroad in the land, this definition of the insect furnished Jjy the New York tiun is full and satisfactory iu every particular: "A political cuckoo is a man who is willing to'defend an unworthy political cause, not because ho believes in it, but because he hopes, by so doing, to curvy favor with some individual in office. whose personal comfort it may promote. A person by becoming a political cuckoo sacrifice independence and consistency. He ceases to have a mind of his own, if he had one before, lie becomes, as it were, an automaton: but that is not ail: he must attack and traduce those of his associates in the Cabinet, or the Congress, who have retained intact their political manhood and personal independence.".
Thk Philadelphia Time* has been one of the most enthusiastic pro-Ad-ministration, anti-Protection journals in the country. When Mr. Cleveland was elected, with a majority of both branches of Congress behind him, it fairly danced for joy, and predicted that a politico-social millennium would soon be ushered in by the Democratic parly. Hut it is not talking in that way now. Oh, no! Just listen to it:
The only one conspicuous result of the present Congress thus far is an impressive lesson given to the American people that the Democratic party is unfit to govern the Republic. It has politicians large and small, but mostly small, while statesmanship seems to have become a lost art in the councils, ol that organization. It is now mort than six months sincc Congress met. and the single thing it has accomplished to meet the ousiness necessities of the country was the repeal of the silver bill, and that would not have been accomplished without Republican votes.
The Times has plenty of Democratic company, so it is far from being1 lonesome it its view*.

"Uut don't you mean the woman must be discharged, doctor?" "Yes that's exactly what I do mean. There's no alternative." "Well, but she's just as mad as when she first came into the asylum," exclaimed the first speaker, Mrs. Hoyle, the matron of the female side of Wadsworth lunatlo asylum. "Yes: 1 know that as well as you do," returned Dr. Hatley: "but liete's the order from the commissioners for her release, and we've neither the right to question it nor the power to detain the woman.1' "But she's not fit to be at large. She's a murderess—nothing more or nothing less," cried the matron, indignantly. "That may be." answered the doctor. dryly, "but the commissioners can't be expected to set up the question of a patient's sanity against a rule of red-tape. What has happened is this: The certificate on which this woman, Lucy Howell, has been brought In is invalid th# new certificate was to have been here, and hasn't come consequently she will have to be set at liberty." "What if she kills the first person she meets?" "So much the worse for the first person aud the commissioners." replied the doctor, with a short cynical laugh. "Uut uo blame can be attached to us," "Hut Dr. Acering deolares that hers is a subtle form of mania that Is absolutely incurable. She has all the fancies of a murderess, anil all the crotchets of a madwoman, hidden away under her pentlc ways and soft speech." "Well, we can't help that. She'll have to go, and we may as well tell her at once." "Then there'll be murder done before she comes buck, and come back she certainly will," said the matron, as she left the room to fetch the woman of whom the two had been speaking.
She returned iu a few minutes bringing with licr.a tall, handsome woman of about four or live and twenty, whose finely developed figure was rather set off than concealed by the somber dress which she wore.
When the doctor spoke her name she looked i»t him closely and answered in a low. clear and rather sweet voice: "You want me. sir?" "Yes sent for you to tell you you are to be discharged from here." "I am glad you see at last that I'm not mad," was the reply, calmly spoken and with a coniident smile. "I did not say I saw that," answered the doctor, dryly. "Well, so long as somebody sees it. and I am liberated, 1 am satisfied. I ought, never to have been brought here.1'. "You will now be able to do what you wish to do, Miss Howell," said the matron, interchanging a rapid glance with the doctor.
In an instant a light flashed into the woman's eyes as she looked up and cried, with a touch of eager passion: "Yes. I'll- Hut, catching the expression mi the others' fuces. she stopped as suddenly, and changed her tone with her look, adding: "Yes. I shall be glad to be at liberty again."
The change in her manner had been startling in its abruptuess: and in the moment of excitement she had looked dangerous enough to suggest hidden depths of intense passion. "When shall you try and seek out the people who are following you about with knives!" asked the matron again. "That dark, good looking young villain, who was j'onr lover and deceived you. that yon told me about?"
But this time# the reference to her craze had no rousing effeot. She had obtained complete self-mastery and answered quietly: "I am sorry I have made such mistakes. I suppose that, being in a place like t.lii:.. where everyone, has fancies, 1 frightened myself. But. now I am going away. I shall leave them." "Where are you going?" asked the doutor, disregarding her gesture.
Lucy Howell thought for a moment, hesitating in her reply, and then she said» "Where I came from, sir—Mireley." "What are you?" "A silk weaver," said the woman. "There are no sheds at Mireley,'' returned the doctor, quickly and suspiciously. "I am not bound to go back to weaving, am 1?" was the reply, flashed back iu half anger and then in a much milder tone she added: "I shall want a rest,, sir. after the life here besides, I have friends at Mireley, and I—they will want me." "Well, you are to go out at two o'clock this afternoon, and the man who brought you hero will come for you at that time. You had better ba ready." "Thank you, sir," said the woman. Without looking again at the doctor she turned and left the room, followed by the matron. "She seems sensible enough, Mrs. Iloyle,' he said, when the latter returned. "Hut, sensible or not sensible, she lias to go." "Oh, she as sensible as I am, and a precious sight more cunning. But if murder don't come of this business —well, it'll be a marvel to me."
CHAPTER THE PROPOSAL.
"Miss Ashworth—Mary." A dark, pretty girl, dressed in black, who stood leaning upon a gate just inside the mill village of Walkden Bridge, started and turned round, and a slight flush showed for a moment on her features, as she heard her name thus spoken. "Mr. Gorringe!" "Did I startle you out of a pleasant reverie?" asked the man. "But it Is

too greut a pleasure find you alone for me to resist the temptation of speaking to you. You are not angry?"
The .speaker was a thick-set man of some thirty years of ago. with large, well-shaped, resolute features that spoke of great fon-e of will: and he looked eagerly at the girl out of his keen, clear bine eves', over which hung dark, bushy brows. "Xo, I am not angry. but—" "But what?" he asked, as she liesiated.
She was silent a moment., and then, with a slight blush again tinging her cheek, she looked liividlv at him and sa id: "Tile 'but' was. thai think you had better not call, me by my....-Christian name."
The man laughed a good-natured, hearty, self-sat isfied laugh. "Nonsense, Mary, nonsense. Whoever heard of anyone objecting to such a thing hereabouts'.' 1 think of you as Mary—aye, and as my Mary, too, my lass, in spite of all you said last time and what's more, I shall never think anything else." he added, very earnestly, as ho went closer to her. "Yon forget, Mr. Oorringe. that you arc the manager of the mill, and I nxn only one of the work people." "Xonscn.se, stuff and rubbish, Mary. I was a mill hand, too, wasn't I? and not so long ago. either. If I've made a bit of brass, where's the good of it, if I can't do what I like, aye, and have whom 1 like to share it,. You'd better change your mind. lass, and say you'll marry me." "I have told you—" she began, when he Interrupted her impetuously. "Yes, yes I know you've told me, and more than once for the matter of that," and lie laughed again good naturedly. "And what's more, you'll have to go on telling me scores of times yet, before I shall believe you. You'll have to give way in the long run."
It cannot be, Mr. Oorringe." "Reuben," he interposed: "you may as well call me by that name first as lant." "Xo," said the girl, decidedly. "To me you are Mr. Gorringe, my employer, and 1 cannot call yon anything else." "Stuff and rubbish. See now what it means. Seven years ago, 1 was a mill-hand. Five years ago, I had scraped up. enough to start the old Winckley shed. Three years ago, I took the management of this old Walkden mill and to-dav I'm ready for another move up. I can put my "hand on a good bit of brass to-day, and I'm going to be a rich man, Mary and if you'll marry me, you shall be a rich woman (To Be Continued.)

The End Has Come—-The Curtain Is Down
On the last act of the last scene in the eventful merchandising career of the Great Wholesale Dry Goods House,
:3&'. "V-
The James H. Walker Co.
The superb $650,000 stock is all sold—sold under the auctioneer's merciless hammer. And such a sale—a sale that attracted the attention of the entire dry goods trade of the Nation. The leading merchants of all the great cities had corps of buyers attending it. 'Tis quite true that many goods brought big prices, but none of them found their way to
THE BIG STORE
They could not because of the measures we used to prevent bad buying, namely: We spent several days at the
Walker warehouse prior to the sale, examining and scrutinizing each and every piece—every lot in the whole stock—and marking down low bargain prices on catalogues furnished us for that purpose. Then we paid close attention to the bidding and never allowed one lot to be knocked down to any one else if at or below our guiding prices, but when they went above we promptly let them go to any one who chose to pay more for them—in short it was a cool, premeditated scheme to Capture the Bargains from the Great Walker Sale for our customers.
As a result we will commence to-morrow a Grand Sale. We say "Sale" but the word hardly expresses the event. It will be practically a reckless distribution of Walker's Silks, Walker's Dress Goods, Walker's Linens, Walker's Notions, Walker's Domestics,
REGARDLESS OF WALKERS COST. REGARDLESS OF PRESENT VALUES. REGARDLESS OF EVERYTHING.
