A mx foot specimen of Tennessee humanity strolled Into a Knoxville saloon the other day and offered to beta crowd that he coald drink six beer glasses full of whlHkey, ono after the other, on condition that he would treat the orowd if he failed, and that the gang would pay for the whisky If he succeeded. The wajer was accepted and the man draiik the whisky. The fool-killer, for once, got around on time, and after the coroner got through with the corpse it was taken in charge by relatives for burial.

THE world has 370,281 miles of railroad, of which 168,5i7, or 44.18 per cent, are In this country. Europe, Asia, and Africa combined have more than 4,000 miles less than the United States. From this it will be seen that the Americans prefer the railroad to traveling on foot, And that nearly every person here travels more or loss. With almost half the railway mileage of the world and locomo tives that can make a mile in forty seconds our country is bound to beat the nations of the earth in the race for su prernacy.

A FEW days Hgo two hundred Hollanders landed in New York direct from their native country on thoir way to tho San Luis valley, Col., where they will engage in farming. They are made up of families and are well supplied with money. Tho men are hardy and intolli gent and the women and children are rosy chooked and healthy. They were successful ut home, but came here because they could do better. They are tho kind of immigrants who are always welcome to this country, and It is to be regretted that mort$ of their kind do not come,

Tun chief of tho naval ordnance bureau at the very opening of his annual report to tho secretary of the navy asks for appropriations aggregating $2, i.r0,:t2l, for tho expenses of his bureau next year. Considering the rapid progress which the country is making in naval construction the appropriation asked for is not unreasonable, and will doubtless bo made. From being a tall ender among the navies of the world a few years ago tho United States is coming rapidly to the iront, and the day is not far distant whon it will rank with Alio best.

of ordinary appetite will bp

able to procure IUI ordinarily fair meal on tho World's Fairgrounds for five dollars during the exposition. Many of the visitors to the windy city next year will probably take their lunoh baskets along. As tho man who has boen granted the dining privileges on the grounds expects to feed many thousands daily he is doubtless a lusty kicker against Sunday closing. Six fortunes a week wou't be enough for him, considering the fact that he will only have it a year and that he won't bo in it when another centennial celebration rolls arouud.

IT is said the Democrats of Kansas hold the balance of power in the legislature of that state. All told there are only four Democrats in the house and senate out of a total membership of one hundred and sixty-four, but if they vote with the Republicans the latter will have a majority of eight on a joint ballot. It is reasonably certain that some kind of combination will be formed to defeat the election of a Populist to the United States senate. A Democratic senator from Kansas would be a paying attraction at a dime museum, but it seems that anything goes now.

Thk latest scheme to make money is a gigantic beer trust which is being engineered by the Rothchild's of England. proposes tho consolidation of the great brewories'of Anheuser-Busch and J. W. Letup, of St. Louis, with the Schlita and Pabst concerns, of Milwaukee, with which it is expected to supply the world with beer. The capital stock has been placed at $40,000,000, in addition to which the Rothschilds undertake to float $200,000,000 in bonds. It is a great scheme, but its promoters feel certain it can be worked successfully. In these day* it seems to be the object of large capitalist* to combine their interests and force men of small means to the wall. Trusts are becoming no gigantic* and grasping that they will soon Jiaye to be legislated out of existence.

clause of the World's Fair act, and it should be repealed. There will also be a demand for the passage of a bill to protect railroad employes, an anti-option law, another for the admission as states of New Mexico and Arizona, and still another making changes in the national binkh'g law, while numerous members are ready to present amendments to the oiirtion law. Tariff legislation is not expected, though tariff reform will be the burden of numerous songs, and will bloom luxuriantly in every debate which wili admit «f the subject being dragged in. Beyond the appropriations necessary to carry on the government pot much is expected of the present session.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE? No party has ever assumed control of the aflalrs of this country in time of peace with so much power as the Democracy will possess on and after March 4, 1893. Cleveland will go into the White House with a popular plurality of more than 600,000, against less than 63,000 in 1884. The new senate will stand: Democrats, 44 Republicans, 39 Populists, 5. The new house of representatives will be made upof 225 Democrats, 125 Republicans, and 6 Populists, giving the Democrats, a clear majority of 94 over all.

Now that the Democracy is to have full control of all branches of the government there is much anxiety to know what is going to be done, and there is a demand by many for an extra sessiod of congress in order that the policy of the new administration may be outlined as speedily as postible, so thot business may shape itself to the new channel and become settled. There is however, no crying demand for an extra session, and as the business interests do not seem to be alarmed over the coming change, it is very improbable that one will be called. The country has already experienced four years of Cleveland and came through the ordeal without any serious injury. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil theieof," and there is no ground for the calamity howl which is now going up from disgruntled politicians. However Democrats and Republicans may differ as to the means to be used in attaining a certain end it is folly to think that either will deliberately go to work to ruin tho country and its own prospects at one and the same time. .'

First and foremost the new Democracy will have to deal with tariff reform. Tho late campaign wa9 fought on that line squarely and the verdict of the people was ovorwhelmingly against McKinloyism. The masses of all parties are opposed to a tariff policy which absolutely dosses out foreign competition and tends to foster trusts whose members grow rich at the expense of the masses. The majority of Republicans who voted their ticket this year accepted the MeKlnley plank with a silent reservation, and will offer no opposition to a tariff which will produce revenue and at the same time protect the manufacturing industries to the extent of good wages to the working tnan and a reasonable profit to those who invest their money in them. In the present senate there are probably around dozen Republicans who favor tariff revision, and these include Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, the great protection state of the country, while in the house there are many more who entertain similar views.

It is always the policy of parties to float with the tide of public sentiment and trim their sails to catch every popular breeze which blows. Just now the tide is flowing strongly in tho direction of tariff reform, and would be strange if the current failed to oafcob some

publican members of the present congress who are willing to anticipate thsir opponents by the introduction of a measure which would meet the popular demand. If the November verdict is acceptcd in good faith the Republican congressmen could consistently offer such a measure, and the opposition could not conscientiously oppose it. Strange things frequently happen in political oiries, and one of them might be tariff revision before March 4th, 1893.

But that which is of deepest interest to the rank and tile of the Democracy jnst now is the distribution of the spoils. Greater liberality is expected on the part of Mr. Cleveland than he displayed at the opening of bis last administration. There is every reason to believe that outside of the classified service there wiH be a clean sweep of the offices. Shortly before the election Mr. Cleveland remarked that when he ran before be was content to be merely a good citizen, but that this time he wanted to be a good candidate as -well. But one meaning can be taken from this and that is that the spoils will be distributed without any unnecessary delay and in such a manner as will tend to perpetuate the power of the Democratic party. It looks very mnch as though the coming reform administration will be highly seasoned with practical politics, and that the offices will be distributed to suit the taste of the men who are the moet competent mechanics in that line of.work, while the theorist will be quietly but firmly relegated to the rear
