Heart dl-esse. another name for bearing Other people’s troubles,carried off Wlndom and fjave Powderly a close ■have, says tho New York World. There is no need of anybody shortening bis days over labor and capital, or, for that matter, anything else. Charity begins at home, and among his other benevolences a man should be good to himself. /rr — . ’ -i Wrra the filling of the only vacancy in the next Howe of Representative—that which existed in the Second Rhode Island District —tho House seems to b i divided thus: Democrats, 237; Republicans, 87; Farm ere’ Alliance, 8. The Democrats will have a majority of 142 over all. and a lead of 150 over the Republicans. As 167 will be a quorum the Democrats ought to bo able to sees sre a good grip on the House for the next two years.—Globe-Democrat. Tne proposed Proctor tower at the Chicago World's Fair will'probably be a monument of engineering skill and ability, but there will always be a question whether it is worth while. Eleven hundred feot is a great height: but even when the visitor to the fair has been hoisted to the summit by one of the rapid running..OiqyaJipxi.. feerg , will be nothing to see except the newly annexed suburbs of Ch cago, which arc mostly in their original prairie state. The utmost that can bo said of the tower will bo that it is a hundred feet higher than the Eiffel; and this certainly is not a distinction worthpaying $2.000,000 sos. A country which is forging rapidl ahead in the Republic of Colombia Official documents just received b Consul Herman Freund, of this cityshow the ebstom house proceeds of the port of Barranquilla for the fiscal yeai just passed, to have been nearly $7,000.000. against $1,100,000 the year previous. The returns of the satm office during December, 1800, wa* $579,40,). This notwithstanding that December is a dull mouth, the busiest months du.ingtho year being January February. April, May, August on 1 September. Tbo reason for this healthy increase in business is found in the complete political tranquidit. of this country under, the able direction of Dr. Rafael Kuneg. Exchange on Loudon which was a year age 16Q to 200 is now 95, Paris has fallen from 200 to 90, Now York from 200 to 91 and is steadily declining. This is caused by the heavy iucreaso in export of tho natural pioducts such as coffee, cotton, bides, gold, etc. • ’ Tnr. disestablishment of the church In Wa’cs was made tbo subject of a resolution in the British House of Commons receutly. and an unexpectedly large vote in favor of the proportion was recorded, the figures being 203 for disestablishment and 1 283 opposed. Mr. Gladstone made the great apaeck in its favor, and he said that he expected to be confronted with citations from hiaown speeches of .twentyone years ago when he opposed the disestablishment of the W e'.su church. Times had changed, he said, and now the Church of Wales is the church of the few ans the church of the r ch. Looking at their numerical preponderance and their distribution in ie>pe. to the various classes of society it wo, not far from tho truth to say that the non-fconformists of VV ales were the people of Wales. Nobody couid doubt that they would again speak as decisively as In 1886, when out of thiity members twenty-seven were pledged in favor of disestab.ishment. Such a voice could not be much longer contravened by English votes.

Is connection with the movement to restrict undesirable immigration from. European countries it is interesting to note that many foreign-born citizens are in favor of such restriction. A petition was presented in the House of Bepresentjatives a few days ago. signed by Hjalmer Hjorth Boyesen, the well known novelist from Norway, and two thousand other persons, many of them foreign born citizens, asking that immigration be regulated by requiring that each emigrant from Europe, before starting, shall apply to and obtaiu from the American consul nearest the point of embarkation a certificate stating that be (the emigrant) is not infinical to American institutions, that he can read his native language, that he la physically and mentally sound and that he is not under a labor contract and that he is not and has never been a criminal or a pauper. Such a provision as thia would be very effectire in preventing undesirable immigration. and there could be no reasonable objection to if oa the part of anj American citizen, native or foreignWn.—ladionapeJe Journal.

' When Cockrell's name was called he rose, to .his feet and saidi..“Mr. Speaker.—” “No speeches! no speeches 1 object! vote! vote! vote!" shouted forty Republican ! voices in unison. “If you will keep your mouths silent for a minute I will vote," said Cockrell. *1 i vote for John M. Palmer.” For a few minutes the Democratic shouts nnd cheers that reverberatnti through the Capital Wfere deafening. After a slight lull they again broke out .and it was sevetat minutes before Older was restored Tiie Republicans remained silent through" out the proceeding—. Moore s name was called and in a r.orsertlv cairn voice he said t .'Jjohu M. Paiiner," Again Democratic enthusiasm found vent in prolonged ethers aiffiTbats and. papers were thrown wildly in the air. When the name of Morns, tUS ! colored Republican was called, that gen* \ tleman voted for Cicero J. Lind ley. | The program now became for all Republicans to vote for Liudley, it having been ! found impossible for Fuller or any other man to receive the full Republican vote Representative Taubeneck wh-.n his name was called voted for “A. J, Streeter, noma i inee of the F. M. B. A. party," and dropping to his: seat, burst into tears of sincere sorrow that no one doubted, aud Cheer after cheer from the Republican side re* , warded his loyalty to his party nominee. The roll call showed every Republican voting for Liudley, every Democrat for . Pairnor, Moore and .Cockrell for Palmer and Taubem-ek for Streeter. On the 151 th ballot Speaker Crafts said: •‘Whole number of votes cast is ‘204; necessary to a choice 103, of which John M. Palmer has received 103 votes [Democratic 1 applause], A. J. Streeter 1 vote aud C. J. Ltt.d ey RH) votes, aud I hereby declare ’ John M. Palmer duly eleete 1 United States , Senator to represent the State of Illinois I in the Con ress of the United States for the to nil of six years.” j Deafening applause from the Democratic I Side and galleries greeted this announces ; ment. The Democratic Representatives | cheered themselves hoarss, aud mounting their desk 3 threw bats and paper- nqd baskets in the air. Several members blew horns. A joint committee was appointed to notify Gen. I Ph4tnTfcr bf his ielectibh; 'He was conducted into the chamber by the committee, appeared oy the side of the Speaker and was greeted with applause. Speaker Crafts introoueed him and he spoke as follows: “Gentlemen of the Thirty-seventh General Assembly, you ought scarcely expect mo to speak at this ; time. I feel more like saying: ‘Ain’t I ' glad to get out of the wilderness.’ I thank I you, members, for vindicatiug the rights lof tne people. By a plurality of votes was expressed the desire of tue people to select one United States Senator.and my election is historical You men who have labored so long to elect your independent candidate also deserve my thanks. [Applause.] “My Republican friends, I thank you, too. Vou. it this contest, represented the old method of electing Seßators. 1 thank you hint tue contest has oeen free from petsonalities. [Applause.] Trie occasion i aoes not require a long speech.” Immediately after tne election of Gen. Palmer was known the church and fire bells of Ahe city began to ring, aud above nis voice, when addressing tue joint assemnly, could be heard tie triumpnaut nielouy of tne bells. Every factory and mauuiacturing 1 stablishment in the city, quite legurdiess ot tue politics of the pio--1 ri. tors, blew in unison the r whistles in appreciation of the fact trial Springfield now claims both the Illinois Senators. 4-rivate res deuces hungout their flags and bunting, (M>d from the stub 01 every publio buiidinv in the city proudly floated the colors of the Nation. At night the festivities continued.

A heavy and melting snow had been falling all the afternoon and evening, but has been insurreient to dampen the ardorof the un* terrified Democracy. Tho Democratic members cf the General Assembly are wearing conspicuously their “101" badges, and amid their re.oiciug they have star ed a movement to procure and present to Messrs Moore and Cockrell two mngnl * cent badges surpassing in beauty, cost and workmanship ac.t thing yet devised. Both gei.l etnen received many beautiful floral pieces from members and friends, and after tbe ad ournment of the House great crowds pressed around them and shook, hands and <-ongratulated them, the throng including a great many ladies. Indeei.it 1 seems asif the geneueriil re dicing lias became mteotioiis • It is hard I v an exaggarati nto say tha ever, body in Springfield is ceiehrating tonight.
