Everything Possible Will be Done in the
Interests of Harmony.~The Pres.
dent's Message,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The Dem-
ocratic Senators and Representatives
who have been in Washington since |
the election have with one or two ex- |
ceptions talked in a manner that in-
dicated the proper spirit. Their great- |
est desire, they have said, is to allow |
the past to rest, and to have the Dem- |
{ disputable manner the confidence felt
| by capitalists in the administration.
{ Some Democratic membeis of the
{ House—notably Hooker, of Miss, and
| Bailey, of Texas, —are criticizing the
administration for issuing bonds, but
the general impression is that no for-
mal action will be taken on the sub-
ject by Congress,

twelve weeks’ free lecture Course in

| Courses for dairymen-—one to fit men
| to manage creameries and one for the
| dairy farmer. These short courses are
{ within the easy reach of every farmer
{in this county and should be liberally
| patronized.
The College also offers a carefully ar-
ing some legislation that will help the
country and incidentally the Demo-
cratic party, in 1806. Just what legis- |
lation shall be acted upon is a question |
that will determine very soon how |
deep this anxiety for party harmony |
goes. The idea I have heard most
generally expressed by Democrats is |
that Senators and Representatives |
should not commit themselves to the

Secretary Carlisle's anoual report,
Democrats have been greatiy interest-
ed in learning the nature of Secretary
Carlisle’s report, but it is as yet a se-
cret, confined to those who have prom-
ised to keep it until the report and the
President’s message are made public.
Secretary Carlisle has not been at his
office for several days, preferring to
work upon his report at his home
where he is free from inturruption. It
is said that the system proposed will
supply the elasticity so badly needed
in our present financial system. Al
though Secretary Carlisle has always
been known as a friend to silver no
one, who will tell, has found out what
part silver is to play in the proposed
new system.
A laborious attempt is being made
by certain parties to have it appear
that President Cleveland has exceeded |
his constitutional authority in dealing
with the proposed mediation of the
trouble between Japan and China. |
Their whole story is built upon a false
foundation. They say that President |
Cleveland has offered to act as media- |
tor. He has done nothing of the kind. |
At the request of the Chinese govern- |
ment he directed Secretary Gresham |
to ask the Japanese Government if it|
would favorably consider a proposi-|
tion to have the United States act as |
mediator in order to put an end to the |
war.
It will be difficuit to make sen- |
sible people, who are upon principle |
opposed to war, believe that the Presi-
dent exceeded his authority in thus
trying to end a war between two na-
tions with which we are on friendly
terms. How friendly we are with Ja- |
i
i
i
pan may be judged from the fact that |
a new treaty has just been concluded |
with that country.
There is little danger that the Re-
publicans of the next House will car-
ry out the threat made by some mem-
bers of their Congressional campaign
committee, to throw out the entire
Virginia delegation, which is solidly
Democratic. The Democrats would
not ask anything better than such ac-
tion by the Republican House. It
would not only keep Virginia solidly
Democratic but it would bring out
thousands of Democratic votes in oth-
er states, The leaders of the Republi-
can party are too shrewd to put such a
club as that would be in the hands of
the Democrats, however much the Re-
publican contestants from the Virgin-
ia districts may beg.
Democratic newspaper ecorrespond-
ents, who are as a rule great admirers
of Secretary Carlisle, have been in hot
water with their editors ever since
that bond issue was announced, be-
cause they had on the personal author-
ity of Secretary Carlisle, sent out the
positive statement that there would be
no immediate issue of bonds. That
Secretary Carlisle had a good reason
for throwing the boys off the track by
telling them up to within forty-eight
hours of the issue of the call for bids
that no bonds be issued is certain, but to
date none of his newspaper friends have
been able to find out to a certainty
what it was. Speaking of the bond

It Made Trouble,
It beats all what a little thing will
cause trouble in a newspaper office.
One morning newspaperdin Buffalo is
said to be deep in tribulation because a
reporter in writing up an interview
with a prominent society lady said:
“Her dainty feet were encased in a
pair of shoes that looked like fairy
boots,” and it appeared in this wise:
‘Her dirty feet were encased in a pair
of shoes that looked like ferry boats.”

Figuring on a Fast Train
The Pennsylvania railroad officials
are figuring on a fast train to run be-
tween Pittsburg and New York, to go
into effect with the winter schedule
| which will be adopted Nov. 25. The
proposed train will reduce the time be-
| tween the two places to about eight
{hours and a half. The fastest train
| now on the road makes the trip in ten
{and a half hours. The change is in-
tended to accommodate the increasing
{travel and proposed to specially
meet the demands of the New York
and Pittsburg patronage. The matter
| has been kept as quiet as possible un-
| til trips have been made to prove the
| entire practicability of the plan. One
| trial trip was made last Monday, but
{ another will be made this week. The
is
| cess of the first trip, but since the plans
{are being arranged with a view of
{adopting this change it is inferred
| that the first trip was satisfactory.
