HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA There are ninety-eight no-license towns in Connecticut. “The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing brook.” The United States steamer Pinta, in Alaskan waters, is practically without a crew, nearly every man having been arrested and placed in jail, as a result of a recent ordei by United States Marshal Porter, for having formed illegal marriage relations with native women. Chicago theaters and music halls are said to have adopted the London fashion of permitting actors and actresses to play engagements at various houses on the same night. The time for their appearance on the various stages is accurately fixed and the performers are hurried from place to place in hacks without changing their stage clothes or upOur Indianapolis exchanges bring the information that there is a great deal of suffering and destitution in that city. The same papers also tell us that English's Opera House, seating upward of 2,000, was packed to the dome at four performances of of Sinbad last week, at prices fifty per cent, above the regular schedule. Both statements are probably true. Hard times seldom affect the show business. People have been known to sell their cooking stoves to get money to go to a circus. Ad English farmer is said to have succeeded in grafting a tomato plant upon a potato vine, and the hybrid production rewarded the ingenious agriculturist with a double-headed crop—tomatoes above ground, potatoes beneath the surface. We do not vouch for the truth of this story and advise our readers not to waste too much time with similar experiments. Still if they feel like emulating the Englishmen’s example we will be glad to give to the world the results that may be attained. Dr. Pakkiidrst, the noted New York divine, who has achieved a great deal of notoriety through his strenuous efforts to reform the morals of the great metropolis, in a recent interview expressed his unqualified admiration for beer gardens, stating that they were a “beautiful institution” in Germany. He will not, however, start a beer garden himself. Some people will think the eminent reformer is a little “off” to thus supplement his remarkably stringent efforts towards a suppression of the social evil with an indorsement of an institution so intimately connected with that evil in all large cities. The United States in 1893 exported $854,000,000 worth of products of various kinds. Our mines, and fisheries supplied about ten per cent, of this amount. Manufacturers 27£ per cent. We exported twice the sole leather that we did twenty years ago. There was a remarkable increase in the amount of zinc exported, the amount for 1893 being 7,000,000 pounds against 73,000 pounds in 1873'. Our total exports and imports combined were in 1892 slightly less than those of France, slightly more than those of Germany, and only 51 per cent, of the combined exports and imports of Great Britain, which imported about 2,000 millions and exported about ] ’400 million dollars worth of merchandise and specie. The fact of the death of Emin Pasha in the wilds of Africa by this time seems to be pretty well established, and altogether his demise is the worst blow the Associated Press has sustained in recent years. When all other news items were scarce Emin could always be relied upon to furnish something sensational — either by his alleged discoveries, or by falling out of a window on account of near-sightedness, occasionally varying the monotony by dying as a victim to cannibals and shortly thereafter having himself discovered in good health by some enterprising newspaper man. Mr. Schnitzer has long been a source of profit to the

press and we are not likely to find his equal as a perrenial fount of paragraphic pleasures. There are some things in the world that are likely to remain unsolved mysteries till the crack of doom. Many of these secrets are of trifling moment, but their very insignificance renders the mystery surrounding them all the more aggravating. For instance, a brass coin has recently been found in an Indian mound, near Rockwood, Tenn. It bears an urn burning incense and inscriptions in Hebrew as follows: “Shekel of Israel,” and “Jerusalem the Holy Land.” Thecoin was discovered by an ignorant farm laborer without sufficient intelligence to perpetrate fraud. How the coin got into the mound is the mystery. Antiquarians believe that the coin is one more proof that America was in ancient times settled by the lost tribes of Israel, a theory that has been often advanced but never satisfactorily demonstrated. The coin is now in possession of the Tennessee Historical Society. A very level-headed and practical English misionary named Boothe is alleged to have conceived the idea of converting Africa into a civilized I and Christian country by means of huge coffee plantations that shall give employment to the natives while they are being instructed in the tenets of the Christian religion, the profits that will result from their labors to be used as a means for the establishment of other plantations that shall in turn serve as stepping stones to still other missionary plantations—and so on indefinitely until the entire tropical world shall know the truth and by the truth be freed from the bondage of savage deeds and bloody rites that has for ages held them in durance vile. The scheme is said to be in actual operation, Mr. Boothe having only a few years ago been given 1100,000 by Englishmen to carry his ideas into practical effect. He controls 100, 000 acres now set to the coffee plant and he intimates that in four years from the time he set the plants his farm will yield a profit of $150 ‘per acre, all of which he will use in mi sionary work. Mr. Boothe estimati that he will have converted all the heathen in Africa with the means | already in hand and its natural profj its in thirty-three years. This may j all be true or not, but if it is il [ would seem that a glut in the coffee ; market and a sharp decline in prices I are possibilities in the near future PEOPLE. M. Pickard, the French cominis1 sioner-General for the Paris exposition of 1900, already has 100 clerk j at work. I The King of Greece Is said to b I very xiolite. He understands twelv ! languages, and ne'er speaks angrily j to his queen in a language that she ! comprehends. j The late Ferdinand Pousset, th j Parisian brewer who died wort j $500,000, left large sums to seven artists and journalists who fre quented his place. □ Prof. Huxley, the great scientist is a keen-eyed, sharp-featured man He is quite crotchety, almost cranky in his way, and is renowned for hi irascible temper. Rev. E. Payson Hammond was tb . first American clergyman to entei Alaska. His first meetings werehelc at Fort Wrange!. He went without j compensation or promise of support. The Rev. Charles Edwards, o! j Freeport, L. I., an obscure Bantist ; preacher, has just published a bool | in which be advocates rank anarchy i A red Hag appears on the. title page. k Johann Most has lost much of tin ! fierceness of demeanor and appearance that made him conspicuous s ! few years ago. He has grown stoul I and his lion-like mane has giver | place to sleeker locks. His very j speech has grown tame, i Olaf Petersen, a Swede, wenl j West thirteen years ago to grow up with the country. His family is j growing more rapidly than his bant i account. He settled in Sabine conn t\, Kansas, and has tvventy-om children. The first single child was followed by two sets of triplets, ther seven sets of twins. According to the San Franciscc Examiner a wealthy Chicagoan h having made in that city a fur coat that is to cost $2,500. Eight blacli Alaska sealskins compose the body of the coat, and the cuffs, of Kamchatka silver-tipped sea otter, ar< worth $250 each. The coat is liner with biown satin and weighs twent pounds.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS. Mr. Patterson'followed Mr. Ponce. Ho denied thut he had offered a resolution in the Democratic caucus to count a quorum. Nevertheless ho favored it. Uo was not one of those who would go back on the Lord’s prayer because It was indorsed by the gentleman from Maine. (Republican applause.) Proceeding, he said that while he favored this bill he thought that the discussion In the House was having and had had a disastrous effect upon the business of the country. Mr. Fithlan scored the Democrats who filibustered. Mr. Bland then made a vigorous appeal to the Democrats opposing his bill to cease lilibustering. He announced that tomorrow morning he would move to close debate, and every day thereafter until the bill was brought to a vote. A Democratic caucus had decreed that it should be kept before the House until it was voted up or down, and it would be. The filioustorers must take the responsibility for such delay as it caused. A running debate followed. Mr. Pence again secured recognition, and said if his course did not satisfy the dignity of the House it satisfied himself. Continuing, Mr, Pence said: “I am ready now to proceed with what I was saying when the gentleman from Nebraska (who is fuller of whiskers than ideas) interrupted me.” He paused. There was a good deal of indignation among the Republicans at Mr. Pence’s defiance, which was shared to some extent on the Democratic side, as on the motion to allow him to proceed a score of Democrats voted against the motion, which was defeated—30 to 60. Mr. Pen'oe sat down and the House adjourned. The session of the Senate, Tuesday, was brief. A large number of petitions were presented. Mr. Teller offered a resolution requesting the President to suspend action in the consolidation of land offices provided for in the sundry civil bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894; Mr. Hawley introduced a resolution that the Secretary of the Interior send to the Senate the most advanced copy of the Census Office returns relative to manufactures. Mr. Kyle introduced a bill for the establishment of a national university. It was referred to a select committee. Then, on motion of Senator Gorman, the Senate went into executive session, and at 1:20 adjourned. In the House, Tuesday, Mr. Pence rose to a personal explanation and apologized for his intemperate language in his speech, Monday. Mi - . Cooper rose to a question of privilege to call Mr. Pence to account for the reflection alleged to have been cast upon him. Mr. Pence came to his own defense in a characteristic speech, charging Cooper with having deserted the cause of free silver at the dictation of the White House. Mr. Geissenhainor them asked unanimous consent to consider a bill to save the armament of the recently wrecked Koarsarge. Mr. Cummings, chairman of the naval committee, stated that he hadto'day received a letter from the Secretary of the Navy saying that if the wreck of the Kearsargo was to be saved, prompt action by Congress was necessary. Mr. Bland objected and moved that the House go into committee of the whole to consider the seigniorage bill. Pending that motion ho moved to close general debate, Wednesday, at 3 o’clock, and on that demand the previous question.- The vote , was taken and resulted 159 to 0, fourteen short of a quorum. He moved a call of the House. The call developed the presence of 280 members. Mr. Bland moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call. Mr. Reed showed a disposition to filibuster, whereupon Mr. Bland demanded the yeas and nays. Further proceedings under the call were dispensed with—163 to 9 —and Mr. Bland, seeing that it was probable that a quorum could not be secured, withdrew his motion to limit debate and moved to go into committee of the whole for further debate, without limit. This was agreed to and the debate became general and continued till 4:40, when the committee rose and the House adjourned. The Senate was in session two hours, Wednesday. Senator Frye discussed the President’s Hawaiian policy, which he strongly condemned. At 1:55 p.,m. Mr. Frye indicated a willingness to defer the remainder of his remarks until Thursday in order that ho might not interfere with the Democratic caucus, because, a? he said, ho wanted more Democrats to hear him, and on motion of Mr. Morgan the Senate went into executive session. After fifteen minutes spent in the consideration of executive business the doors wore reopened and after the transaction of some minor business the Senate at 2:20 adjourned. . In the House. Wednesday, the dead lock on the seigniorage bill was broken. Mr. Bland moved that the House go into committee of the whole and that the debate on his bill close at 3 o'clock Thursday. A roll call resulted 16 to 5—no quorum. Mr. Bland shouted out that a quorum would have voted on that call had all the friends of the measure been where they should have been, in their seats—he then moved a call of the House. Mr. Reed insisted on the yeas and nays. The .■all of the House was ordered, 189 to 4, The call developed the presence of 365 members; Mr. Bland moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call and on further motion Mr, Reed forced the yeas and nays. The vote then recqrrod to Mr. Bland’s demand for the previous question, which was sustained, 177 to 7. Loud cheers greeted the announcement of the breaking of the deadlock. A quorum having been secured, the regular order of proceeding was observed. Several technical questions of a parliamentary nature was settled. The House was again blocked Just as the last barrier was being removed, and Mr. Outhwaito, stating that this question, would come n.p as soon as the House convened; Thursday, moved an adjournment. It was carried, and then, at 4 o’slock, the House adjourned. In the Senate, Thursday. Mr. Frye concluded his speech on the Hawaiian mat-

ter. Conslderatian of the bill for a new government printing office degencrateu into a tariff debate. Resolution by Mr. Mandersonto authorize the Secretary ol Wan to investigate the feasibility of using the water power at Grand Falls, D. C., to generate electricity forlightlng thestreets and public buildings of Washington was introduced and agreed to. After a halt hour’s executive session the Senate ad Journed till Monday. At the opening of the House, Thursday, Mr. Cummings asked unanimous consent for consideration of a bill appropriating *45,000 to -uclaim the Koarsarge. Mr, Kilgore remarked that it was impudence for members who blocked legislation by filibustering to ask for legislation by unanimous consent and demanded the regular order. The regular order was the vote on the adoption of the special order to limit the debate on the seigniorage bill to two hours, on which the quorum had failed last night, and the clerk called the roll. Exactly a quorum voted and the special order was adopted—100 to 13. Immediately upon the announcement of the vote the Speaker declared that, in accordance with the provisions of the order Just adopted, the bill would bo open for debate and amendment for two hours. Mr. Bland was recognized and offered a partial substitute, or rather an amendment to the original bill, as follows: “After the coinage provided for in the first section (the seigniorage) the remainder of the silver bullion purchased In pursuance of the act of July 14.1890, shall be coined into legal-tender silver dollars as fast as practicable, and the coin shall be held for redemption of the treasury notes issued against such bullion. As fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes the notes shall not be reissued, but shall be canceled in amounts equal to the coin held derived from coinage herein jjrovided for, and silver certificates shall bo issued on such coin provided for by law, providing that the act shall not be construed to change the existing law relating to legal-tender, character or mode of redemption of existing treasury notes under the act of 1890.” A sufficient sum of money is appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of the act. Numerous amendments to the substitute were offered, all of which were lost. The vote was then taken on the Bland substitute amendment and it was adopted— .171 to 98. The vote was’ then taken on the final passage of the bill and it was passed —167 to 130. Loud cheers greeted the announcement of the victory. Mr. Cummings then asked and obtained unanimous consent for the bill for the reclamation of the United States steamer Kearsarge, and it was passed. “Don’t give up the ship,” shouted General Sickles. The Speaker then announced the appointment of Mr. Haines, of New York, on the committee on invalid pensions in place of Mr. Gresham. At 5:20 p. m. the House adjourned. In the House, Friday, Mr. Bankhead offered a resolution to appoint a committee to go to Chicago to Investigate the condition of the postoffice building, which was passed. Mr. McCrea called up from the committee on public lands the bill which has been before several previous Congresses to provide for the opening of certain abandoned military reservations. Mr. Sayers, chairman of the appropriation cofhmitteo, raised the question of consideration against it, but the House decided to go on with the bill. Mr. McCrea explained the provisions of the bill. There were eighty of such reservations. The act only applied to reservations of 5,000 acres area, and they wore to be opened only to bona tide settlers, to be paid for at not less than their appraised value. After some debate the bill was passed. On motion of Mr. Holman, ex-Spoaker Grow, the newly-elected Congressman at large from Pennsylvania, was then sworn in. A burst of applause greeted Mr. Grow as he stepped down the aisle to take his place at the bar of the House. The House went back to committee of the whole for consideration of the pension appropriation bill. Mr. O’Neil, of Massachusetts, in charge of the measure explained its provisions The bill carried for the fiscal year 'ending June 30,1895, *14,519,350 less than the bill last year. The original estimate for the coming fiscal year was *162,000,000, but it had been revised and cut down later by Commissioner Lochren. In reply to inquiries he said that ho believed the amount carried by the bill would meet the demands for all Just pensions. Mr. Grout, of Vermount, followed with an assault on Commissioner Lochren’s action in his wholesale suspension of pensioners. Ho concluded with a glowing tribute to the valor, bravery and patriotism of the Union veterans. Mr. Meredith made rather a sensational speech. He said that he"protestod against making the pension rolls a roll of dishonor, in the name of a State that had paid three times as much for pensions as Vermont. Toward the end of Mr. Meredith’s speech a most exciting scene occurred, which almost eventuated in a personal collision between him and Mr. Funk. Mr, Meredith was still talking about fraudulent pensions and was having an animated altercation with Baker, of New Hampshire, over a case which had come under his (Meredith’s) personal observation, where a Union soldier was obtaining a pension for disability which he (Meredith) claimed ho did not have. Great excitement followed, and a personal encounter between Messrs. Meredith and Funk was only averted by the [irompt action of the ser-gcant-at-arms. After ord-er had been restored Mr. Meredith arose and protested, amid laughter, that he was not excited but that gentlemen could hardly do hero' what they might do elsewhere. With this parting shot ho closed his speech and immediately the House, which was at high tension, on motion of Mr. Sayres, took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be devoted to pension legislation. The evening session was devoted to private pension bills of which a number were passed, and at a late hour the House adjourned. J. II. Russell, the former editor'of'uie People’s Banner at Bloomfield, was sent to the penitentiary for three years for forgery.
