The city editor happened to be out
just when the young man turned in
hisoopy. The Johns man read his

the composing room. It was only a

was about when he wanted three

such an unimportant story. But he
set it up. The city editor after
awhile came back. He saw the heavy
leaded proof On his desk. He was
paralyzed and asked the 'ng
editor if he had leaded that story.
That gentleman knew nothing of it.
When he found out who did it, he
called himto the desk.
“Young man,” he Said, “what po-

"Why, city editor, sir!" said the
young man, who was puzzled at the
question.
The city editor took up the report

"Then take my advice and don’t
try to edit copy when I chance to

No! Well, it means that a great ac-

All the members of the next congress
, notcheolected on Nov. 6. Legisla-
firebare tobe chosen in August, Sep-
tulbor and November, which will have
theelection of 83 United States saw 40
tors. If either house becomes Republic-
an. further bad legislation can be block-
ed. . In the event of a strong Republican
verdict ltie probable that eventhe pres-
ent congress will not succeed in passing
anything very damaging during the
short session that will remain for it.
There is a feeling that the Republic-
ans are going to sweep the country this
year. and they will if they try. But
here are a few figures which show that
it will not do to be too confident. There
are 356 members in the mount house.
of whom only 128 are Republicans It
will be seen that there is a great deal
to overcome. The Democrats expect to
hold nearly or quite all of their 120
from the south. If they hold them all,
they will need to get only 50 more from
28 northern states to hold a majority.
The Republicans must carry three to
one of the northern districts in order to
gain control.
But as a large number of Democrats
in the present house received only small
pluralities and as public opinion has an-
dergone a revolution it is believed that
every close district will go Republican
this year if proper attention is given to
it. A Democratic loss throughout the
north proportioned to that sustained in
special elections in New York and Ohio
districts this year to llll vacancies will
make the next house strongly Republic-
an. Besides we expect some gains in
the south.
The Populists, who have 14 mom:
bers of the present house, expect to have
at least 40 in the next. This calcula-
tion, however, is all in the air. Popu-
lism is on the wane in the country dis-
tricts since the railroad strike, and our
advices from Kansas, Nebraska and the
Moles are that the Republicans are
likely to gain two-thirds 0! all that the
Populism loso. In the large cities, how-
ever, the Populists now seem likely to
win the striking labor vote from the
Democrats. This may be contemplated
with serenity, because the change will
only be to another alias. It is only
when they win votes from the Republic-
ans that the country is endangered.
Should they have 40 members, mostly
won from the Republicans, they would
have the balance of potvcr in the next
house, and in case the presidential elec-
tion should be thrown into the house the
situation Would be at least disquieting.
T hose senators whose terms expire
With the present congress are as follows:

ton of Virginia. 1).; vuimncy in Wash-

Carey of Wyoming. 1L; vacancy to his
tilled.
Here are l l lhvmocrnts and 1d lit-pub-
licans, with three vacancies in stotm
now partly rcprrscntcd by licpublicuns.
Rhoda Island has already elected it Its-
puhllcan successor to Mr. Dixon. and
Oregon has chosen a legislature which
will ro-cloot Mr. Dolph. (illniclng over
the list, not a seat now held by n Repub-
lican looks shaky, and on tho contrary
there Is reason for believing that all
the vacancies will be filled by Republic-
ans, and that protectionist». it not Ite-
publlcans, are likely to come from Alu-
bama, New Jersey and West Virginia,
with the possibility of one from Ton-
nosseo. But in any event thoscuato will
be close, and the Populist» now there
will continue to receive attention far
beyond their merits unless they improve
by experience.
The obvious 108801] of the foregoing
facts for Republicans to olsicrvo is that
we must work to win. It is important
to look after all the clorro districts, south
as well as north. It is a mlstulrototmat
the south or even our largo cities as for-
olgn countries or hopeless fields. Every
candidate who will not declare for ade-
quate and impartial motectlon should be
opposed. and if he is opposed vigorously
there will be a good many surprises.
Another important lesson of the hour
is harmony. Men who are Monitoring
in the main should be wholly so this
year. Itvree third pmyiem and side

any specific or diflerential dutyupon re-
ilned sugar. This tax has been proposed
by the Democratic representatives in
congress.
The interest upon the national debt
for the year ending June 80, 1892, was
828,878, 110. The direct sugar tax would
be more than double that amount. The
Demrlcratio representatives in congress
propose to impose upon every person in
the country a direct sugar tax of 70
cents per capita as compared with the
tax of only 85 cents for payment of in.
terest on the national debt. The sugar i
tax will be double the payments neces-
sary to sustain our national honor and ,
credit.
The payments for pensions madeby ‘
the United States government during 27
years—1867-03—averaged $1.06 per
capita of our population. The sugar tax
proposed by the Democratic representa-
tives in congress will be almost 70 per
cent of the average per capita amount
paid to the defenders of their country.
The amount of duties collected upon
all our imports during the year ending
June 30, 1892, was $199,143,678. The
sugar tax of 47,775,804 will add al-
most 25 pc cent to the total of these
duties collected upon all our imports.
THE DECREASE OF OUR DEBT.
Under Protection We Increased our Assets
lend benched Our Liabilities.
Not only do a nation’s or individual’s
assets show progress and prosperity, but
the liabilities and their nature should
be considered as well. Our wealth and
savings have been tabulated and com-
pared with those of previous periods, all
proving our marvelous progress under a
protective tariff. But every nation has
a debt. and the United States is no ex-
ception to the rule, though the showing
made by our country is most satisfac-
tory.
While foreign nations have increased
their debt, We Ilnvc. in the some period,
dccrcnsed ours by nearly the same
amount as Illu foreign debts have in
creased. Tllr- nwrngc annual decrease

Lower Want! For Lumbermen.
The threat of free trade in lumber has
completely dcmoralizcd the lumber
trade in every section 0! the country.
There has been stagnation in the build-
ing trade. which, together with the un-
certainty on to future values caused by
delay in the tarill settlement, has not-
urally curtailed the output of the mills.
As neonsequenoo there have been many
idlolumbcrmen, and their ages have
fallen. 'l'wu years ago the umbermon
in Georgia were coming from $1 to
61.25 per day, but latcly they have been
only receiving from 70 to H5 cents {or a

of $2 or 03 in a week’s wages does not“
compensate them for any clionpnnes
there may be in the price of goods.
