Secretary Morton gave a dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Ce lev land at which, as far as possible, everything was appropriate -to Mr. Morton's agricultural character, and plows, haystacks, vegetable's, etc., appeared to flowers, sugar or ices.

The president wi'th that ready wit foir which he is celebrated remarked, on sitting down, "that this was an agricultural feast." This prompt recognition mere than repaid Secretary Morton and the che'f tor their artistic labors.

The extract from a Philadelphia paper given below shows the interest in the T. P. A. convention to be held in June, amd the prominence that will be given to Terre Haute as the temporary national .headquarters of the commercial travelers. The notice referred to is as follows:

The Pennsylvania division of the Traveler' Protective Association, whose headquarters are at 1302 Arch street, this city, is making great preparations for the nationaa convention, which occults in Terre Haute, Ind., on June 2nd. T.he committee in charge has secured a Pullman palace car, which will leave this city on 'May 30th for Terre Haute, arad this will make several stops in Pennsylvania to pick up the different delegations. For the accommodation, of ladies a special auxiliary ladies' oommittee for the Pennsylvamia branch has been appointed, and this •will make arramgements for the comfort of any tedies who make the trip. Thq pre&i-

dent of the Pennsylvania branch Francis R. McOormiok elf Philadelphia. TJre preparations for the acoommodation of the ladies indicates that the delegates to the convention will be accompanied by many laSies which will add a social charm to the occasion and impose new ofbligajtlo-.ns upon the city's courtesy and hospitality.

If there is one ,official more than another whose politics ought not to be mentioned in connection with Ms duty It is a judge. It is a bitter reproach of a judge to say that he is partisan. It is most unfortunate when. people doubt the impartiality of law because its administrators or interpreters ar& suspected partisans.

If a judge, as an official, ought to forget his party, it is not rightfor those who have" cases before him to remind him of what his party is. If he is of opposite politics the reminder breathes suspicion—if he is of the same politics the suggestion looks like subornation.

There is reason to regret that certain Republicans, who, with well-meant but mistaken zeal, talk of attacking the act of 18S5 in the courts, have laid stress upon bringing the suit before a Republican judge. It is to be regretted because it is an implied smirch upon the ermine of Democratic judges or because indicating a reliance upon the personal sympathy of a Republican judge. It is true tha the point involved is merely one of speed or delay—that one judge will delay court business and another will expedite it, which seems simple and without fraud, but, after all, the public will be at liberty to think that Republicans rely upon Republican judges for Republican measures and that the Democrats expect the opposite.

The public, however, when it thinks of courts, thinks of them of as nonpartisan and cannot understand what politics has got to do with decisions. It has particularly recognized the force of the late decision by the Supreme Court on Ae apportionment acts, because of its freedom from any appearance of partisanship.

A FAULTY SYSTEM.

Candidates for the next congress are already announcing themselves in various parts of .the country, and before the present session shall have closed the number of new aspirants will doubtless be large. Alany of the members of the present congress are serving their first term. Perhaps most of them will be given a second term, but quite a number will be retired at the end of one term, including, no doubt, some who have good «tufE in them and ought to be retained for a long term of years.

It would be difficult to contrive a more cumbersome and absurd .plan for the sessions of congress than the present one, says the Indianapolis Journal. The people go through & campaign, sometimes said to be one of education, in which Important issues are discussed and decided a»t the poils. The popular verdict expresses the will of the people, and, according to all the principles of representative government, that will ought to be carried into effect as soon as possible. Instead of that, under the present system -thirteen months must elapse 'before the results of the campaign of education begin to work. A

home of repre«ent*t4v«i oiaoted in No* vwnber dot* not tuvtll th« flr»t Monday in Doo»m'bftr vt the next year, though th« term ©I offlee begins on tho 4th of Mftfeh following his election. Und^r thin Absurd plan a .member draw* ten ttvdnth#' salary be* fore he renders *.ny 8#PVle« whatever, and If he die* during .that $fcfl6d, aa often happen#, the government t« a loser. In th6 interval between tbe election and the meeting of the new son-% gresra the old one, whose term atx-* teen .months to run, is generally as defiant of public opinion as It dare be, and pays no attention to the wlU of the people as expressed at .the pblis," The first 'month of .each new, congress is wasted in committee orgapl^jon ,t^.en •congress adjourns for two.tyeeks. pver •the holidays, and about the time it jfets to work the people are getting1 ready to hold conventions to nominate successors for congressmen whose work is just beginning. Then, if the renomination of the sitting member is contested, as it is likely to be, he has to give part of his time to looking after his fences and securing his renomination. thus drawing on time which ought to be given to public duties. If he is renominated and. elected he is still more apt to be unseated at the end olf a second term, just as he is beginning to master the duties of the office and getting able to make himself useful. It would be difficuit to -conceive of a worse system than this or one less in accord with correct ideas of representative government. The first session of congress should begin on the 4th of March following the November election, when the term 'of office and the member's salary begin, and the second session should begin on the 1st of the next January. In this way representatives wbuld come fresh from 'the ptople and a campaign of education would "hot be wasted. The vicious practice of making frequent changes of representatives, especially where one has developed aptitude and .fitness for the position, should be reformed.

•Heff Car§t6n Egeberg^feorchgrevinik, the famous Antarctic eixp.lorer, told the Twentieth Century Club many interesting facts concerning his ifecent voyage 'to those parts, gave an outline of wbat he hoped to oocdmpJisW iii his coming voyage there, and, in', response .to inquiries, stated briefly h^ reason tar not believing Dr. Nansen had really reached the north pole* as recently reported, says the Chicago Tribune^

It was an exceedingly entertaining talk, and additional interest was imparted to it by reason of a large number of views which Herr Horchgrevink showed illustrative of various scenes vV gand incidents of his last trip, j.!

It was the intention, originally, to hold last evening's meeting at the home of Mr. and (Mrs. Heaton Owsley, No. 408 Erie street, but Owing to the dearth oifiMr. Owsley's brother while attending school in the Bast the place of meeting was changed to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H.

It was on the 22d of September, 1894, the expedition started with the purpose of killing sperm whales and at the same time of finding out as much as possible about the great unknown region penetrated only by'Sir James Ross in 1841. They found few sper,m whales, but they made many interesting and valuable discoveries. In -some places they encountered large .^umbers of other varieties of whafles, and he told of an incident illustrating the remarkable strength and tenacity of life of these creatures.

The latter, however, was evidently far from done, for in the face of a'breeze it carried the ship of over 300 tons at a four-knot rate all through the night until well along in the next morning, when it was dispatched.

They had a pleasalnt voyage, he said, as far as 58 degrees south latitude, when they encountered great quantities of (huge ifcebergs, some of them 300 and 400 feet in height.

Antarctic Icebergs.

He then spoke of the difference in thfe appearance of the Arctic and Antartic ioeberg. The top of the former, he said, is frequently fashioned in most fantastic designs and crowned with tower's and minarets, as though carved by man. The Antorfciic iceberg, on the contrary, is almost of a smooth uniform surface. In his opinion the difference was due to the. fact the Arctic 4oeberg in traveling south passed through numerous currents of warm water, which gradually ate into it until, ibecomimg lighter thiain the top, it turned over in accordance with the lanvs of gravitation. The Antarctic Jcelberg, on the contrary, traveled straight north, not subject to such influences hence the difference.

Emerald Island, concerning which much has been said, he thougihit did mot exist, for no traces of it was he able to find. He ttfld of the picturesque Ballon Islands, with their (beautiful shores and peaks 12,000 feet above the eea level, and described in on interesting manner the great colonies of penguins, millions in number, which they encountered. They diwelt tin villages, with roads laid out with striking, regularity, over -which they always traveled when moving from place to plaoe.

He killed four rare ones,standing over five'feet in height. After describing Cape JDdair, Procession Island, he -referred to hils landing upon the Sounth Victoria continent, where he said ihe should spend next winter.

His highest atobitJoo "was, he said, to reach tie south magnetic pole, which Sir James Ross (Called to do to 1841 for a variety of reasons, but prtntafpally for lack of steam -power. He said he expected to (be afble to (make tins journey

AS TO WOOLEN GOODS.

How One Tear of the Democratic Tariff n»« (njared Oar Trade, The bureau of statistics has compiled the figures showine the importations for the calendar year of 1S95. a full year of the schedule of manufactures of wool under the Wilson law. the law not taking effect as pertains to these goods unril January 1, 1895, says the Textile Manufacturers' Journal. For the benefit of our readers we 'have oomuiled comparative returns for .the three orevious years, and, as will be seen, the showing is one ih:U is indicative of untold hardship to the woolen manufacturing industry.

Look for a moment at tine importations of men's wear, which were as follows: Year. Pounds. Values. Unit per lb 1802 1G,248.313 S14,0tt,o25 S6& cents 1S93 13.603.992 11.460,329 S4 oents 1894 7.214.S10 G.104,793 $41i cents 1825 40,070.143 25.2S1.665 63 cents i'he year of 1S02 was a pretty good year for the domestic industries, and while the importations were large they did not create any special distress, so that it is a fair year with which to make a comparison. The imoorts ror iS95 show an increase of 146% per cent over 1892 194V£ per cent over 1S93. and 455 pel' cent over 1S94. That is quite a record for a ne.w law, I'he. first year of its existence, before the foreign maker had had an opportunity to learn the needs or the market. What it is likely to be tne second year, after the foreigner has a knowledge of this market, we cannot tell—it is one of those things which it is best not to know in advance misery is hard enough to bear when it comes, and we do not want to anticipate it.

When we turn to dress goods we find a similar condition, though nut quite as in tense. The figures are a*, follows: Year. Sq. Yds. Pounds. Values. 1802 S3.223.137 20.sv5,7S4 $17,037,35S 1S93 G5.378.267 16.344,567 13,283,552 1894 38.1SS.513 9,545,878 7,549,522 1S95 30.143,137 22,549,485

Tn other words, the increase in 1895 over 1S92 is 45 per cent: over 1893, S4 per cent, and over 1894, 216 per cent. The friend of the domestic manufactarer cannot obtain much comfort from this showing the fig ures, though, just tickle the palace of the free trader who is endeavoring to break down the domestic industry.

One year of Wilson Is enough to satisfy the country—in fact, the country condemned the law before it was put In operation, the first election after the inauguration of Cleveland showing Its disapproval of it. The above ngures do not tell the story of the misery this law has entailed, the shrinkage in capital, the unearned wageis, the suffering—tts full story will never be written, for no man can unveil the full consequences which have followed in thie wake of this iaw. A visit to any manufacturiner centre will convey, a hint of it in t'he closed mills, the empty tenements and the idle hands. The law still stands and is still operative—how long will a patient people submit to it?

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

New York Journal: Every new invention increasing the facilities and decreasing the oost of newspapers has b&en a confirmation of the fact that the real promoter of a popular education—the engine of civilization—ia the press. A man who reads tflie newspapers carefully must become not onQy an intelligent but a cultivated and eve na good man.

Chicago Tribune: The Republican elephant hopes that it will not be necessary to reach uip with its L^unk .ind yank its .present diriver. Tom Carter, from his position on the back of the intelligent animal's meek. It hopes Driver Carter will see the propriety of climbing down unyonked.

Indianapolis Journal: Some of our Republican friends predict that if Governor Matthews persists in his refusal to call a special session after the compromise proposition is made he will kill his presidential boom. They forget that he is bidding foir a Democrat, not a Republican nomination.

Philadelphia Record: Thus ends scheme No. 1 in the do-nothing policy of pretending to legislate in answer to the recommendations of the president and the needs of the country by passing lm practicable or impossible bills in one house and substituting for them Sfu. more impracticable and impossible bills in the other house. Weill may the well wishers of the nation exclaim, with Mercuitio: "A plague o' both your houses!" There 1®, however, some satisfaction in the refusal of the house of representatives to tolerate free silver coinage. The majority against it is over two-thirds. If the elections for congressmen in 1894 have resulted in such an expression, what may be expected in 1896. now that the people of the United States aire beginning to get their eyes open?

Detroit Free Press: There ls not the slightest possibility of enacting a leuw this session that will orovide for the free coinage of silver, and much less was there any hope of procuring such legislation by the tactics employed to this instance. It was defective patriotism and still worse statesmanship for the silver men to employ the species of oolltioal trickery in weighing down a measure that should have been promptly passed upon its merit® as a concession to the beat interests of tlhe government and thie will of the people. It was a mistake to 'think that they could thus force the representatives of' the people, and the result can only be to injure the cause for the promotion of which they have resorted to such questionable methods.

The fact thiat a California tramp found •20,000 in cash hidden under a clump of bushes should not cause a rush into the tramp business. Bushes of that kind are exceedingly difficult to find, and when found not every one covers so large a sum as was found in tlhis instance.

In Chioaigo an old man was brought before Justice Richardson of rhe First ward on a charge of drunkenness. "I have lived in the First ward," said the old man, "for twenty-two years, and I only get drunk two times a vear. That's more than any other resident of the ward can saj'."

D., last week a 'new, big. artesian well, sunk to. supply power for the electric lighting of the town, was put into service, and the results are hiighly satisfactory.
