THE .NEXT CONGRESS, Bllver Advocates and Bimetallists Will Be Strong in the House.: - NEw Yomrx, June 3.—The World prints the result of a telegraphic poll of the next congress upon the silver, tariff and income tax questions. The congress will not meet until December, bugt is a matter of great importance to the people to know as nearly as possible what may be eercted_ of this body and especially of the new and untried members of it. The following questions were asked of each:

| » “Do you favor single gold standard or free OO’.QBRG " Bk i " “Do you favor further tariff changes®”

“Do you favor the principle of the income tax?’ E

© Answers were received from about one-half of the members of the next congress.| In a geéneral way it may be said that out of 116 members who gave unequivocal answers to the silver question, 55 are unqualifiedly in favor of free coinage, 44 favor bimetallism generally,. with .the proviso of an international agreement. Only 17 can fairly be classed as favoring a single gold standard, and some of these, even, are not definite. The southern and far western states are almost unanimous for free coinage, the central states lean toward silver with bimetallic qualifications, and it is only in New York, New England and adjacent eastern states that thereare any avowedly gold standard men. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Missouri, Montaﬁa, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming are solid for silver, so far as heard from.

The bimetallists are chiefly in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Lo'uisiana,'l\ljichigaﬁ, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. = New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont have the gold advocates. /The " possibility of renewed tariff agitation is apparent in the replies to the question as to the further changes in the tariff. Only twenty-eight members are against all change, while thirty-five favor moderate changes and thirty-eight are pronounced for radical changes. Most of the latter are republicans who desire to see the MecKinley law restored. A few are free traders. The moderates are chiefly those who think changes will be necessary in order to increase revenues. The income tax question brought out many sharp and piquant answers and proved that even in the minds of congressmen a supreme -court decision does not always decide. Forty-nine congressmen say that they favor the principle of the tax. Forty-seven oppose it. A great many evaded the question or failed to answer it. . 5 ‘1 Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana and most of the other southern states are solid for the income ‘tax. New York and the east generally oppose it. Elsewhere the division is nearly even. .

DEBS TO HIS FOLLODWERS.

He Issues a Circular to A. R. U. Men Be : ‘_fore Going to Jail - - TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 3.—Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union, has addressed a circular letter to members of that organiza~ tion in relation to JShe recent decision of the United States supreme court. The circular says: ;

‘A oruel wrong against our great and beloved order, perpetrated by W. A. Woods, United States circuit judge, has been approved by the United States supreme court; but though prison walls frown upon myself and others whom you chose as officials of your order, I assure you that neithdespondency nor despair has taken the place of the coursé which has chnracterlzet} us ang our order since the storms of persecution first began to beat upon us. We h:i¥e not lost faith in the ultimate triumph of truth over perjury, of justice over wrong, however exalted may be %he stasions of those who perpetrate the outagg&" i_i -

President Debs then reviews inci.dents leading up to and the results of the great railway strike, and says: “In Russia the victim of autocratic displeasure is denied a trial by a jury ot his peers. William A. Woods carries out the Russian practice. In Russia the doomed man or woman is arraigned before the supreme .despot or one of his numerous satraps. Truth, justice, merey, are forever exiled. Age, sex, character, innocence, name and condition count for nothirig. It is enough to know that the brave so®l yearned for freedom. and the penalty .of exile, imprison~ ment, torture or death is inflicted, and it has:come to this at last in the United States of America that the law @f injunction is the wilkof a despot, and by the exercise of this Rus§ian power American Rallway union officials go to prison annd the hope is that, by the =~ exercising - of. this power the American Railway union will be crushed. In this supreme juncture I call upon the members of the American Railway uuion to stand by their order. In God’'s own good time we will make the despots’ prisons, where innocent men suffer, monumentsal.’’

SPRINGFIELD, 111., June B.—Gov. John P. Altgeld in an interview on the decision of ‘the' United States supreme court remanding Eugene V. Debs and his friends to' jail, said; s s “Remanding Debs to Jail is in-itself a matter of little importance, but the principle established is of transcéndent importance. This decision marks a turning point ins our history, for it establishes a new form of gé¥ernment among men, that is gove ernment by injunction. Under this procedure a federal judge sitting in a rear room can, on motion of some corporation attorney issue a ukase which he calls an injunction forbidding anything he chooses and which the law does not forbid. Where the Ilaw forbids a thing no injunction is necessary. In other words he gan legislate for himself and having done so heé can turn around and arrest and imprison as many people as he pleases; not for violating any law, but on the mere pretext that they disregarded hisinjunction; and, mark you, they are not tricél by a jury according to the forms of law, but the same judge who issued the ukase and. who' claims his dignity was offended himself tries the- case and whether anything is proven or mnothing is proven, he can send men to prison at pleasure and there is no remedy. “The provision of the constitution ‘that no ‘man shall be deprived of his liberty without a trial by an impartial jury’ is practically wiped out by this decision of the United States supreme court, - and . the = theory that ours - was exclusively - a government of law is . ‘now at. an end, for every community is now subject to obey every whim or caprice that any federal judge may promulgate, and if federal judges can do this then it will not be long until state judges will follow this example. ‘The constitution declares that our government has three departments, the legisiative, judicial and executive and that no one shall trench on the other, but under this new order of thingsa federal judge becomes at once legislator, court and executioner.”

He Remembered His Lung. o) As knowledge increases, it becomes, more and more-impossible for asny one man to study everything. Those who would master one branch of sciedce must be content to remain ignorant of! much that would be . pleasant to know. A singular example of absorption in a 8 chosen specialty is furnished by ‘‘an eminent Scotch surgeon and professor,” of whom an exchange relates an anecs dote. The poet Tennyson once con= sulted him about'some affection of the lungs, and some years afterward went to him on the same errand. On being announced; the poet was nettled to observe that the surgeon not only did not remember his face, but did nos even recognize his name. He mentioned. his former visit. Still the surgeon failed to recall him.. Then the surgeon. put his ‘ear to hig patient’s chest. © ““Ah,” he said, “I remember you now. ‘1 know you by your lung.” He knew nothing about the author of ‘ln Memoriam,” but he knew his business, and remembered perfectly the peculiar sound of that ailing lung.— Youth’s Companion, !
