THE LATE CONGRESS.

MOST STUPENDOUS FAILURE ON RECORD. Never Was a More Opportune Time for National Legislator- to Show Devotion to Country Graver Is I'.ngland'a Ilight IJ-jwcr. Defied the I'eople. Coming into existence when the country was in t!u throes of a panic, the recently expired Ie:nocratic Congress cannot recover its laches by the claim that an urgent condition did not confront it. There never was a mote opportunetime for a Congress imbued with patriotic devotion to country to seize the standard of the people and plant it on the outer walls than greeted the last Congress on its assembling in the national halls or." legislation. It is needless to state here that the lately deceased and unwept Democratic what-is-itV utterly failed to place itself oa a level with the importance of the era that saw it in possession of the lawmaking machinery. It came and saw. and was conquered by the money power and the enemies of the progress and thrift of the masses of the American people. It was weighed in the balance and found wanting in very many of the elements of statesmanship that were essential to stem the tide of error and false government that met it at the threshold. As a body of men selected to represent the people, the last Congress wa the most stupendous failure on record. If it has been guilty of an act of commission or omission in the interest of the masses of the panic stricken American people save and except the passage of the income tax law. .some on will please point it out in the records. This last Congress wits more noted for what it did not do thin for what it did. In fact, the things it left undone were. In the main. Up things that should have been nciod upon, and what it did lr could well have been left undone. A king never had a court at his back that was more subservient and cowardly than the laie Iotnoeratie Cmgross. It was so fully under the control of Mr. Cleveland, who in turn was the tool of the Knglisli money intltience. that it was in fear and trembling, most of the session, of the wrath of him win sat upon the White Honst throne. Cleveland not only dictated legislation and dotniuated congressional action, but he defied the representatives of the people, ami has carried out the will of the money power, regardless of law and without the fear of ecu lire from the guardians of the people. Tin President has treated Congress with little more respect and honor than a man does his dogs. When he wanted anything done, he blew Iiis horn to gather the solon hounds together, rewarding obed'enve with a bone ami pniiMiiux t.isohetlieuve with a kick. 0ol is said to come from evil at times and from this congressional evil good may result, as it is certainly an object lesson for the people. It is a danger signal, marking a break in the ice. or a sinkhole in the way. to I avoided in the future. Certainly the people will steer clear of another such a Congress. One mor Congress of the variety of the last disgusting failure, with the tool of the robbers of the people in the executive chair, would not only bankrupt the nation, and posterity, and sacrifice liberty, but it would engulf this country in a revolution. Certainly the people will hereafter avoid the errors and egregious mistakes which resulted in placing an English tory in the White House and a subservient and cowardly digress in the Capitol. I'tiglandS "Kinht Uower.' An amendment to the appropriation bill, providing half a million for laying a cable to Hawaii, was defeated, as Cleveland threatened to veto the bill if theaiuendment passed. England doesn't want that cable laid, as she proposes to lay one herself from Canada across, via Hawaii, to Australia. What England wants of this country, Cleveland gives her, if it is in his power. That was the bargain when he was elected by English capital. England wanted Hering sea opened to Canadian seal poachers. Cleveland appointed commissioners of arbitration who "yielded" every point E.igland demanded. A recent Associated Press dispatch announces that the American seal will soon become extinct, owing to that lack of protection which America, under the head of such men as James tl. Illaine, formerly afforded. Eugland wanted America to keep hands oft Hawaii, as she wants those islands for a half-way .station between Canada and Australia and for a coaling and supply station in time of w ar. Cleveland has fought persistently against the Hawaiian llepublic. from pulling .Iowa our Hag two years ago to withdrawing our war vessels from Hawaii just before England got up the recent revolt to overthrow the republic. England wanted the Sherman law, providing for the purchase of silver, repealed; Cleveland called a special Session of Congress to repeal it. England wanted free trade with America; Cleveland has done his utmost to bring it about. England toasted and wined and lauded the author of the Wilson bill," gotten up in her interest; Cleveland kicked Ilissell, his former law partner, out of Ids cabinet to make room for Wilson, who failed to get enough American votes to return him to Congress. England wanted protection for her shylock capitalists whose American railroad Interests were in danger; Cleveland, in violation of the constitution, called out the regular army in order to compel American workingmen to adopt the English wane scale. Kurland wanted more American bonds issued; Cleveland pressed the (Carlisle) button and they were forthcoming. England waut-

ed the gold basis firmly established In America, with all the advantages to England which would result therefrom; Cleveland abandoned his party and his party principles to fasten upon his countrymen this galling yoke of bondage to a foreign power. Every important act of our President has received England's hearty approval. Had (J rover Cleveland's share of the bond boodle which he forced out of the trcasurj with the greenback "jimmy" been a couple of millions and agreed upon in advance, it is doubtful If he could have worked more aggressively or persistently in the interest of English shylocks than he has during the past winter. The English money power and English monarchy knew what they were about when they rescued (i rover Cleveland from the igno. ndny and disgrace of his first term and again placed him on the presidential race track in ISlrj. For in the game of government which England is play, ing against the rest of the world. Cleveland has proved her "right bower." Chicago Sentinel. Alarming Statistics. The annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture giving statistics of the condition Jan. 1, IV..". as compared with one year previous, is highly significant of the decadence of the leading industry of the3 natiou. Nothing 80 vividly represents the actual conditions of the great body of American people as a report of the situation in connection with agriculture, and nothing more perfectly represents the actual facts concerning agriculture than the number and value of farm animals. On agriculture is based not only the prosperity of a nation but the very existence of free government. The exhibition of figures will not be overlooked by thinking people. In connection with the report for the past year we make a few comparisons with the statistics of three years ago. According to the figures made public by the Department of Agriculture regarding farm animals in the United States on Jan. 1. ls;ö. there were 1",ööö.iiöt. This is the total of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, and proves a falling off of (j.l'lS. l r' since Jan. 1. s;t. A decrease in numbers of about 1 per cent, in oue year. Horses numbered ir.sttt.::is. a falling off from last year of lST.N'Jl. The heaviest losses were in Illinois, Indiana. Ohio. Michigan. Wisconsin. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Causes generally a signed for the falling away in the number of horses are the substitution of other motors in the street car service of towns and cities. They have declined in price even where the numbers have materially decreased, and the value now is 10 per cent, less than three years ago. the aggregate value having fallen lrom l.otM),MH,(M to only .So7;.(KH).(KM. A slight decrease is noted in mules, the number Jan. I, lMfi. bein .:KK:.liiJS, anlinst Z'.'L'SM in the year 1SM. The number of cattle has decreased I'.lM'Utt) ami amounts to a falling off of over G per cent. Milk cows show an increase of nearly one-tenth of 1 per cent., while every other class of cattle has decreased in number. The entire number now reaches "1,-.".r-l.'JK against Wis, Ills a year ago. In value there has been a falling off from $7l'U X U H to $1S.Imn,ixni during the past three years which would indicate an average decline of over 10 per cent, in value, which proves that the last year has not been more disastrous than the average. The decline in the number of sheep is over 3 per cent., the number Jan. I being 4VM.4,i;i, which is J.7.VUö:; less than the year previous. "The decline." says the report. 'is attributed to many causes. Itavages of dogs and wild animals, low price of wool, hard times, and scarcity of feed. There was a wool clip during the year 1 SO I of ,'.S.ord,:;sl pounds, compared with ""..imhi.imhi in ISStt."" As evidence of the fact that the past year has not witnessed any decline in the Interests of wool raisers caused by recent legislation, we note the fact that sheep and wool have not shown as marked a decline, between Jan. 1, '01. and Jan. 1, '00, as for the two previous years. The loss in value of sheep in the last three years has been very nearly öo per cent., having fallen from $ 1 1-.I M M 1,1 MM) to SOI.! M M 1,1 KM I. Hogs numbered -1 l,lir.7H. or l.oid,-7N-less than the number of Jan. 1, 1S0I. The average farm price of swine was J?l.!7, against S.V.'H the year preceding, a decline of over 17 per cent, in value. The aggregate value of farm animals Jan. 1, 180Ö, was Jl,sp,,4p;,.Ii mJ. against .$2,1 70.1 10.701 Jan. 1. 1S0I. This report taken in connection with the reort made recently by the special Congressional committee on the subject, should awaken thought not only among the students of political economy but among the great body of voters, who are the most deeply interested of any others. These losses fall with increasing severity on the farmers, and every year sees them drawn nearer and nearer to the juggernaut car of monopoly, which must crush them beneath its monster wheels if not stayed in its deadly course. -Chicago Express. t From Good Citi.cn to Criminal. One of the unemployed "vagabonds" of Chicago a few days ago broke a plate glass and then sat down on the curbstone to await arrest. As the jMilice did not respond as promptly as he desired, and being hungry, he took the coupling pin and broke out another window pane. He waited a longer time for the officers to come and arrest him than at first, but the guardians of the law did not come, and he had to break three plate glass windows before he could get arrested. When taken to the station house he said lie had been without food for thirty hours, and he could not starve, and

he decided to be a felon rather than go hungry. He was hauled to the city buildings in a police patrol and walked in to be converted from an honest citizen to a felon. Over the door hung the stars and stripes. He remarked as he passed beneath the llag that ought to protect every loyal citizen of the republic: "Is this the place where you turn out tiefenders of that UagV" Sure enough. Where are the defenders of that UagV Are they in the counting rooms and bank offices Are they on Wall street and in the boards of trade gambling shops? No. These gentlemen live off of I'ncle Sam's bounty, but they desert him when trouble comes. The common herd furnishes the defenders of the flag. The fighter comes from the ranks of the laboring :vnd producing people. These people are now tramping about the country by the thousand. They have been deprived of their means of support, and their families are in want and subjects of public charity. lake this man, thousands of them are in prison, and they prefer it to liberty to starve. What a grand and glorious country this is under the rule of G rover and the Rothschild banks! Abundance of everything, but the people are hungry and ragged! No end to undeveloped resources, bul a million tramps turning to vagabonds and criminals daily. Honest laboring men holding up express trains! Industrious mechanics committing crimes to keep from starving! Oh. who would not think it a privilege to lay down his life for such a glorious land of liberty as plutocracy has made id" the American republic'.?

Our Condition. There appears in the Non-Conformist of Jan. L'l a debt statement of the country by Senator Daniels, of Virginia, that is sufficient to take away the breath of a producer. II' shows that the debts amount to forty-four billions, and that it would require all of the seventeen sLiplo product ions of this country to pay the interest alone. Of course these productions cantiot all he sold. Some must ho reserved for seeding, consumption, clc.. and. as a result, the balance of the interest charges must be made up by foreclosures, and the thing acts in cumulative tendency like a snow 1 Kill rolling down hill. Now, I have been reading the statistical abstract for 1.N04 somewhat myself, and this is what it says: Mortgages S ts.tim.nno.uno M:inif.nt urim; 'iipii.-il ;. i::'.i.ooo.ono II.

Cntaxod church property might seem out of place here, but it certainly represents a debt, although it be voluntary, in so far as support is given the churches which cannot be less annually than live per cent, of the value of the property. This statement does not include personal debts and the debt paid to laud lordism by the landless, which in itself is no small plum. Now we have it in a nutshell by orthodox figures. The people of this co n t ry are worth fifty-live billions less than nothing. How is that for high V-II. W. Nelson. Keform Note. Nero fiddled, but "rover goes fishing. Congress is dead, but (.'rover still lives. Congress died of the dry rot. Several members of Congress have political records they would like lo dispose of. Greatness cannot be measured with a lape line, if a man's head is taxed, why not also tax his feet V Honest dollars are about as scarce as honest politicians. These are solid times, as everything is down to the bottom. It Is time the farmers stopped thinking via Wall street. If the good Lord wants ! rover, the people will be reconciled. Honest, patriotic men do not come from hovels where want sits on the throne. Holding up the Federal treasury and an express trains has become a national industry. Public coiitideifo this year has cost $lt;iooo.iMio, and the country is not over slocked, either. Congress gave the sugar producers of Louisiana their bounty. The sugar consumers have a bounty id" poverty for their share. (rover says he is determined to make the public have confidence if he Is forced to sell a billion dollars' worth of bonds to do it. Congress has adjourned. Let thanksgiving be universal. If I he winde Democratic administration would adjourn a jubilee would be In o rtler. The idea of farmers, whose families are half-clothed for lack of cotton goods, getting together and declaring there is an over production of cotton! Rosh! Any man who lifts a hand to retire the blood-stained greenbacks should bo declared a traitor to his country and a common enemy of mankind, and be drummed out of the country. If the people generally will call on the banks to redeem their currency in greenbacks, the entiles chain that draws gold out of the public treasury may uot run so fast. Dallas Mercury.

EEINA EEGENTE LOST

SPANISH CRUISER WAS SUNK NEAR GIBRALTAR. fsorond Search of the Alfonso XII. Proves Successful It Is IJclicved the Whole Crew, 420 in Number, Have liecu Lost. Divers to Recover Bodies. The Spanish cruiser Heina Itegenta lies at the bottom of the sea. There is no longer any doubt as to her fate or the fate of the 4-0 officers and men she carried, livery man on board must have perished when the boat went down near the Straits of Gibraltar, for not one has been found to tell lhe story of the awful disaster. Aside from the little wreckage picked tip aud which first gave a clew to her fate nothing remains bore the water but about twenty inches of her masts. It i3 another one of the terrible wrecks of history in which boat and crew disappeared o completely that it was onlj after a long search that the scene of the disaster could be located another that called for the sacrifice of hundred of human lives. The raon must hare had absolutely no chain e for escape. They must have gone down with the boat almost before they realized their danger or some bodies would have been found. As it H they nre nil believed to be in the wreck, and divers have been sent to the iccne to attempt to recover them. The ship was found by the Alfonso XII., which was sent in search of her after it was reported that wreckage from her had been picked up. She was found near B.ijo Aeilanos, not far from the Straits of Gibraltar. The Alfonso XII. and the Isla de Luzon started In search of her immediately after she was reported missing on March 1JJ, and they have kept up the search continuously since, but without success until now. Tho Alfonso XIL returned to Cadiz after locating her, but has started back again with divers and appliances to attempt to recover the bodies of the officers and crew. The I leina Urgente was reported missing on March 111. She had just conveyed from Cadiz to Tangier the returning Moorish mission to Spain. The cruiser left Tangier on March 10 for Cadiz, and her whereabouts were not definitely ascertained until to-day. Pieces of one of her boats and semaphore flags were reported to have been picked up along the shore near Ceuta and Tarifa. She carried a crew of I20 officers and men. and all hands nre believed to have perished. The Iteinn. liejjente, about two years ago, came to New York as one of the Spanish squadron which escorted across the Atlantic the Columbus caravels. The Infanta Isabel, now reported to have sunk an American schooner off the coast of Cuba, and the Xueva Ilspana were the other ships of the Spanish squadron. The Keina Uegente was launched in 1887 and was one of three second-class deckprotected cruisers of the same build, her sister ships being the Alfonso XIL and Lepanto, all of 4.S0O tons, 12,000 horse power, and expected to steam twenty knots. The wrecked cruiser was 3110 feet lonjr, had f0 feet 0 inches beam, and a draught of 20 foot 4 inches. She was piopelled by twin screws. Her protected deck was 4"i inches thick on the slopes, her conning tower had 5 inches of armor and her gun shielda were 3 inches thick. INSULTED NOW BY JOHN BULL No American to He Consulted in Settle I merit of Nicnrauunn Affairs. A dispatch from Manapua, Nicaragua, says: -'Through its minister here the British government has submitted an ultimatum to Nicaragua. It demands a cash indemnity of 10.000 for the expulsion of Mr. Hatch, British consular agent at IShielields. and also the appointment of a commission to adjudicate the dr. ma ses sustained by persons and vroprrty of British subjects expelled from the Mosquito reservation about the same time. By the terms of the ultimatum Great Britain is to name one of the commissioners and Nicaragua another, and these two are to choose a third, who shall not be a citizen of the I'nitcd States. It was also made known that a British warship is now on her way t Nicaragua to enforce these demands, which must be complied with in seven weeks from Feb. 27 last, the date of the ultimatum." From all that can be learned in Washington, (Ireat Britain's attitude in this matter is regarded as one of great severity. It is said that Mr. Hatch, who was expelled from Nicaragua last July, was not the British consular agent at Bluetields. It is authoritatively stated that he had received no exe-juator from the Nicaraguan government and was not recognized by them in any ollicial capacity, lie was a merchant at l'luefields and is represented as having been active in fomenting troubles in the Mosquito reservation between the Indian residents there and the Nicaraguan government. He was expelled for this reason, and with him went a number of other foreigners, several of whom were Americans. The United States made no complaint of the expulsion of its own citizens, believing that they merited the punishment they receded. Apparently tho British government is not disposed to take that view of the matter, so far, at least, as Mr. Hatch is concerned. It is said here that Mr. Hatch was fortunate to escape bo easily. There are people in Washington who are familiar with the occurrence In the Mos(juito reservation. They believe that Mr. Hatch bhould have been hanged for his complicity in the revolution, and It is for this reason that great surprise is expressed at the radical position taken by the British government with reference to him. SAIL FÖRl ÖMISED LAND. Two Hundred CScorjjin Ncjjroct Itc'n Their Voyac to Liberia. Tuesday afternoon the steamer Ilorsa nailed from Savannah, Ca., for Liberia. Those on board sung a farewell song, of which the refiain was taken up by thousands of negroes on the wharves, (.ireat crowds followed the steamship to the end of the wharves, nearly two miles away. The emigrants continued to sing until the steamer had been lost to view. The vessel carries 200 negroes, who go to make their home in LiVria. This will be an occasion of much Importance to the negroes of the South. After all the requirements of the United States laws on carriage of passengers to sea were compiled with the officers of the Emigration Society began to arrange for the embarkation of the colonists. I'arly In the morning negroes from all sections of the country bejaa to gather near the

dock to see their brethren start for Africa. By 10 o'clock upward of 5,000 had assembled, but none were admitted within the inclosure of the ship at the dock. The scene was pathetic. Men and women of all asres, children from 4 years of ag upward and one or two cripples, all joined in prayer and hymns, making a scene never to be forgotten by those present to see the colonists depart. SHE WAS A HEROINE.

A 13-Year-Old C.irl Gl ve Up Iter L.IU for Two Children. Somewhere under the ice of Teconic Bay is the dead body of a her nine Lillian MeMullen. says a Sa Harbor, L. 1 dispatch. She was only 10 years old, but she sacrificed her life to save two children who were under her care. With two little daughters of (Jeorse Cordon in her charire. and accompanied by a bi-; doc she set out to cross the ice. They were half way across when Lillian, who was slightly in advance, suddenly sank out of si-ht. She had stepped in a hole nearly covered with snow. The children set up a shriek, as they looked in terror at the .trap in the ice. When the girl came to the surface she was quite ne:tr the rajced ed-;e. and she prasped it tirmly. The children started to her assistance. "Keep back!" she -id, tirmly. "I think I can Kt out nil riizht." Hut hr warn ins wai unheeded. -Keep back! Keep back!" she repeated, but too late. The children tried to grasp her, the ice gave way under them ami they went into the water. The elder of the children prasped Lillian's dress and sustained herself, and Lillian, still holding to the ed? of the ice with one hand, grasped the younper child with the other, and held her head above the wnter. The children were screamicf all the time, and the do- ran barking around the spot. Lillian gathered herself for an effort. She pushed the smaller of the Cordons to the edpe of the ice and attempted to lift her upon it. The little one prasped the ice and the do- seized her by the clothing. Hover tried to pull the LILLIAN SAVIN'O TUP. CniT.HRKX WITH TilK POO? All. child from her position, but the noble brute clipped on the uncertain surface, lie, however, hung on, and at last lifted his charge so far from the water that she was able to clamber out on linn iee. The other two girls in the water, meantime, were havinc a desperate -struggle. Lillian tried to raise her companion upon the iee. Once, twice, thrice, she made the effort, and every time the ie broke under the strain. Her breath became labored and her movement feebler. The water chilled her through and through and her hands were bruised ami numbed, but still she clung to the ice and the girl to her. Now fdio was beyond further exertion. "I'll hold on fast," said sli- to the (JorJon girl. "Vou climb up over me. Hurry up! I can't last much longer." And the other attempted to reach safety in that way. The ice broke under the double weight repeatedly, and each time the heroic MeMullen girl grasped where it was farm and held desperately to it. "Now make one more trial," she said, weakly. This time the Cordon girl raised her shoulders above the water. Kover seized her and tugged gamefully. Lillian added what little strength she had remaining, and at last the second child was in safety. "Keep away!" again cautioned the little heroine. She made : fcetde effort to draw herself tip. She slipped back. Her numbed hands grasped the edge of the iee for an instant and then released their hold. She went under the water and under the ice, for there was no sign of her after that. The children reached home almost prostrated by their experience. Between sobs they told the storj to their parents, and Hover crouched in a corner aud whined pitoouslv. REVENUE FOR EIGHT MONTHS.

One of Iter (In n boats Dismasts the Little American Schooner Irene. A Key West special says: "The latest report is t; the effect that the schooner Irene was tired into and dismantled by the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel. The news was brought to this city by a vessel engaged in the cattle trade between this port and the mainland. The Irene is a small schooner owned in this port by Canary Islanders. She has been employed in the lidi trade all winter, but within the past few days returned with a party of court otluials from Fort Meyers, where an important murder trial has been held. She afterward sailed for the fish ranch at I'unta (lorda, whence, it is reported, an expedition sailed for Cuba. This point has been under Mirveillsnce by the Spanish cruiser and the schooner wa3 followed from here and tired into. This is the report given by fishermen at the ranch to a vessel which has just arrived. The family and owner and the crew of tho Irene live here. "Xo further particulars have been learned about the American schooner reported to have been sunk off Puerta del Padre, Cuba, by the Spanish cruiser Arcedo. No denial Is made here by the Spanish agents as to the corectness of the report, but It is said tho vessel was not flyinf the American flag. The reason advanced for the sinking was that she would not answer signals. Diligent inquiry among ship owners fails to show any vessel belonging to this port missing
