I®-The Senate has, by lot, determined the length bf the terms of the six new Senators as follows; Washington-Sen­ ator Squires March 3, 1891, and Senator Alleu March 8, 1893; South Dakota-Senator Moody March 8, 1891, and Senator Pettigrew March 8 1893; North Dakota-Senator Pierce, March 3, 1891, and Senator Casey March 3, 1893. The terms of the Montana Senators will not be fixed until they occupy their seats. fifir Next in importance to the Presi­ dent's message is Secretary Windom's annual report to Congress. Mr. Windom covers the entire financial field, and fur­ nishes one of the most interesting as well as important reports of the kind ever made. It presents a plan for the satis­ factory solution of the silver problem, ' which Mr. Windom believes will be accept­ ed by both silver and gold men. Space prevents further notice, but the report can be found elsewhere in this paper. Vehamently D«nottno«d. A special dispatch from Springfteid, un­ der date of Dec. 6th, says: Commenting on the meeting Of Missta- sippians in Washington to-day, at which Justice Lamar and the Mississippi Con­ gressmen and Senators were present, the State Journal will say to-morrow: "No mtire shameful spectacle has ever been witnessed in this country than that pre­ sented by this meeting. It seems almost beyond the bounds of relief thata Justice of the United States .Supreme Court and the Senators and Representa­ tives iu Congress from any State could so far forget the solemn oaths they have taken to support the Constitution of the United States as to join in lauding the only man who, by his own choice aijd preference, has been an acknowledged outlaw for the past twenty-five years, and whose constant boast has been that he was a traitor. There is no parallel to such a proceeding except in the meetings held by the Anarchists in memory of Spies and Parsons, and none of these were participated in by men holding high offices under the Government. Con­ gress will be recreant to its sworn duty to support the Constitution of the United States and to enforce respect thereto if it fails to at onee impeach Justice Lamar, and unseat the other traitors from Mis­ sissippi who hold, seats in the Senate and House, for their efforts to make treason appear worthy of commendation. It is high time to call a halt. Treason must be made odious, and traitors must not be permitted to hold high offices under the Government." To all of which we say amen.

Their muskrats, goose bone and bark signs all agree to that end, and & " especially the exceedingly great drought, " and this is greater than known for many ;;years.

It is not strange that the government officials should desire to screen the offlenders, when such distin­ guished persons as the Earl of Eustis and the Hon. A. C. Somerset are implicated in the nameless crimes. If any one is to ascertain what the offenses are which have been half disclosed, they can find them in the terrible indictment drawn by St. Paul against the social offenders of old Rome, in the first chapter of his epistie to the Romans. Rome, in St. Paul'Bday, was, as in London, at the zenith of art, literature, civilization, power and prestige. THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

He sometimes goes by the name of John Johnson, but always writes his name with the Blaine appendix. Mrs. Blaine says he was always a kind father and good husband and she is sure that some mishap has befallen him or else she would here from him. She is a poor wo­ man, and believes that if our exchanges would make a note of her wish to ascer­ tain his whereabouts, there might be a chance of her finding him.--Sycamore Republican. 'The President's Message, which can rand in full on the inside pages of this r, was read to Congress on Tuesday p^of last week. The message has been well received by everybody except a handful of Southerners who profess to see in its plain statement of political affairs in the South cause for alarm. The message is strictly conservative, both in tone and in Its recommendations, being thereby in striking contrast to the lfcat dictatorial documents sent from the White House to Congress. Mr. Harrison evidently in­ tended this message to be confined to its strict constitutional limits--that of in­ forming Congress of the state of the country. Its recommendations we in every instance what has been approved by the Republican party. Upon those tilings on which there are different opin ions in the party, he has presented the without recommendation. It is a sument that has greatly disappointed Democrats because it furnishes them no ammunition. 19" Judge David J. Brewer, of Kansas, lias been nominated by the President to lie associate Justice of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Justice Stanley Matthews, of Ohio. Judge Brewer is a nephew of justice Stephen J. Field, of the Supreme Court. He has been, since 1884, United States Judge for the eighth circuit of Kansas. He has filled a number of im­ portant positions in Kansas, judicial and Otherwise, and has always been a popu­ lar official. The nomination is highly pleasing to Senators lngalls and Plumb and in fact to everybody, with the possi exception of several disappointed ,tes and their immediate friends Miller, over whose circuit Judge 2ms presided for the past five he considers him one of the now on tlie bench.
