re constantly crying that "war taxe

to abolish a Uirtiudly war Ux. tbe "emer-jr.-n
y tax" that ut, internal revenue tax
they oppose it with all their energy.
But cotiftitency never wa a Democratic
characteristic.
Tut Republican Congress means busi
n and the Republican Speaker is help
ing to realize thia by appointing ihecouv
miitecs within a week from tbe time be

The U. 5. Government, has, by farming
out the sealing ground in the Alaskan
waters, received as rentals $7,000,000.
This is aiuist as much as Alaska cost at
twenty three year ajfo. The present
company's leuse expires next May. It
ban made money, too, ao it is not surpris
ing that it is anxious to renew the con
tract. Tub proposition of Senator Dolpb, of
Oregon, f r the submission of an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
Stales giving Congress tbe exclusive ju
risdiction over marriage and divorce is
one to commend itself to all thinking
pry.ple. I'liifirm laws in all the States
upon this suhjoct will meet public ap
proval. Speak rn Kekij will announce Lis com
mittees on Thursday next, the day on
which Congress will adjourn for the hol
iday recess. This will put that body in
shajie to Itepin buiMnex in earnest when
it reassembles after the holidays. There
is much to do, and the work cinnot be
too expel itioucly begun nor steadily
jmshed.
Tub Australian ballot syftem haschang
ed B wton's Democratic majority of 5,000
to a Ivepublii-an majority of 5,000. No
wonder the Democratic (Juvernorof New
York is opposed to this law in his State,
jsst as Democrats everywhere are oppos
ed to it. It takes away the occupation
of the ward boss w ho directs men how
they shall vote.
ckko8 Castelar, the eminent Spanish
orutorsnd statesman, 6ays "If there is
any one thing I believe with all my heart
it is that before fifty years Europe will
be Republican from end to end, and I
Itelievc the change will be brought about
without the horrors of war, as easily as
it has just Iteen brought about in Brazil,
as naturally as a man lays aside one coat
and puts on another, because be likes the
other better."
Tut Republican majority in the House
of JlepresiuUtives is small, but if it
numbers keep constantly in mind the
fact llJat they were sent to Washington
for the exclusive purpose of attending to
(he public business, it will be sufficient.
The Democratic minority is sure to be
active and vigilant, and it will not be well
for Republican Representatives to be
-aught napping, or to devote too much
time to the consideration of their own
luivute affairs.
Xi MiiEiis of the poor jeople of Balti
more arc lamenting over the loss of the
navings which they bad intrusted to the
keeping of a so-called private "bank,"
tlie bead uf which d;s8ppeared on Satur
day. The "banker," Ranch, by name,
was a lity and feed dealer, and when he
failed in the tiny and feed business he ran
away and carried with him the funds
which were in bis possession. It is a
great pity that more of such rascals are
not caught and made an example of.
Tub Maryland Democrats are still hard
wt work quarreling among themselves.
The "ring" Democrats under the control
of tlie bnswes naturally compose the chief
rtrcngth ut tbe party in the Legislatuie.
There L likeiy to be a good deal of
finabbliug and bitter feeling within
tlie Ikuiocratic racks in regard to choos
ing a Kikuwir to United States Sena
tor Wilson. Tbe G irman "ring," how
ever, will in ati probability force the
election of its ehoaeu candidate, whoever
be may be.
The Montana complication has only
one involution; the Democratic Senators
will not take tbe Senatorial oath, and by
so doing tuake themselves amenable to
the laws which govern members of legis
lative assemblies. Were they to do this
it w uld be competent for the Republican
Senators, eight in number, to euiurce the
attendance of a quorum by sending the
f-crgeant-at-A run after absentees. As it
is the Iemocrats prevent a quorum of
the Senate by posing as Senators -elect
Lul not as Senators in fact. The position
would be comical if it were not disrepu
table. The House of Representatives of Mon
tana is duly organized, and it performing
nuch work as can be done w ithout the
concurrence of the Senate; the House
lias a Republican majority. The Senate
istands eight Republican and eight Dem
ocratic, with the determining vote in the
Lieutenant Governor, who is a Republi
can. Upon joint ballot the Republican
Senator woald be rent to Washington,
nnd the functions of Statehood would be
in full and healthy operation. The Dem
ocratic conspiracy alone kee;is the new
State in a comatose condition. The object
of the conspiracy is to support tlie Gov
ernor's refusal to recognize as valid .the
claims ef any member of either House
ho does not have a county clerk's cer
tificate of election. The Governor's cer
tificate of election does not come from
any number of cwonty clerks, but from
the Secretary of State, and the Secretary
of State certifies to tbe election of a ma
jority of Republicans upon joint baliet.
The prima facie evidence of a Republi
can majority in the Legislature is strong,
and the refusal of the Democratic Sena
tors to take such action as would enable
tlie courts to take note of any alleged
fraa 1 indicates that they bold a revolu
tionary purpw behind their pre tease e-f

It is universally noted hi Stanley's recitals
of his terrible exericnrti in Africa bow
f.rmt and uncpalitied is bis faith in God.
Like Livingston and Gordon, this trait be
came in him the dominating sentiment in
bis adventntvs. In narrating them he places
it first and foremost. Says tbe New York
Ti Jiuac: "A psychologist might find much
food for specelatftHt in this iu tlie effect
upon the soul of wanderings through vast
solitudes andof communion with naturetn
her most luxuriant, her most dasolale and
her most savage moods. But finespun
theories aside, here is the significant fact,
(bat the most heroic of living men is also
one of tbe most devout. He sees nothing
unmanly in being rsligiou. He is not
ashamed to say that be believes in God and
iroaU in Him for guidance. He repudiates
what the vulgar call luck and the unbeliev
ers chance. To bim tbe wisdem and the
monitions of a Supreme Tower are a tre
mendous verity. It is with ths frankness of
a most inspiring laith that he concludes bis
self told Odyssey with the fervent cry.
"Thanks be to 9 jd forever and ever!" And
to this every one who appreciates high
achievement and exalted manhood will aid
his thanks for tbe life and theenoobl'ng ex

A Thrilling Situation.
WuKirtu, Maw., Dec. 12. A W'uinipeger
who just arrived from the Pacific coast tells
of a thrilling accident to the Canadian Pacific
through express in the mountains on Satur
day last. A mil gave way at point on the

river. The engine passed over safely, but
the two coaches following swung and top

eral hundred feet below into the flowing
river had it not been that tbe coupling twist

Tbe two cars, one with its load of passen

euftii. The weight of tbe engine and tbe
balance of the train prevented the suspended
cars from drawing tbe whole train down.
Tbe suspense was al to be dreadful. The
frightened passengers. were compelled to re
