Now if said philanthropists will send on an equal number of swallow­ tail coats the sufferers will begin their f spring plowing.--Chicago Journal. iSfOne result of the deposing of Dom Pedro as Emperor of Brazil is that he re­ sumes his former and real name. He aow registers at hotels in Portugal as Joan Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier da Paula Lescadio Miguel Grbriel Bafael Gonzago. There is more to a name sometimes. ' / (©-The subjects which are most attention just now in Congress are the tobacco tax, silver and trusts. Sev­ eral bills have been introduced removing or reducing the tax on tobacco, decreeing free coinage of silver, and dealing with trusts more or less practically. Favora­ ble action is morally certain on alji except diver. Too KuyBiNdXM. Hon. A. J. Hopkins represents the Au­ rora district in the lower house. He dined at the Grand Pacific last evening and looked over the letters to see if his friend Silcott had sent him a check. Congress­ man Hopkins is on the postofBoe com* mittee and to that body the bill regard­ ing the postal-telegraph proposition will go. While Mr. Hopkins Baid he did not by any means speak for the committee he personally thought the bill would meet a natural death. He strenuously objects to an increase of government em ployes and declares that Uncle Sam has more hired men now than he can handle That the government Will make some sort of an arrangement or contract with the several telegraph companies Mr. Hop­ kins believes. A rate for so much a word will be made, but the government won't Msume control of the wires. Another important committee on which Mr. Hopkins is serving is the mer- chantamarine committee. The represen­ tative from jMirora will also help solve the problem of subsidizing South Ameri­ can steamers. He states that the com­ mittee will decide upon soqie plan to pay American vessels plying between here and other foreign ports a certain amount per ton per thousand miles. On that baais no one line can monopolize the business. The committee is not in favor of subsidizing any one line, but wants to make a broad proposition to all mer­ chant marine vessels. Mr. Hopkins thinks the subsidy should be so large that big steamships would be built. These could be converted into war in case of strife.--Times. IfiT'The next census is to giveitrts t»atne and residence of surviving veterans of the late war. These will be collected and classified into regiments or organizations and the boys will then And out where each other are. They are scattered from Maine to California and from Florida to Alaska. Such a compilation will be very convenient to claimants for pensions. I^TIt seemes strange that a Crow Creek Indian would kill himself because he had became jealous of the attentions his squaw received of the young men of his tribe. Years ago, instead of acting like a white dude, he would have started out on the warpath and have scalped a score or two of his enemies. We are almost afraid the noble red man is about to adopt the fash­ ions of the white race. t?•> w < W.'- MT There is 110 longer anydonbtabout the arrival of Russian influenzaor "grip, in this country. In fact it appears to be raging as violently in some cities as in portions of Europe. In Boston it is esti­ mated that one-tenth of the population has the "grip." In New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and most of the large cities erf northern and western states the influenza has scores of victims and the death rate is increas­ ing rapidly. Congressman Hopkins, of this dis- , jias introduced a bill appropriating * 000 for a government building in ity. Mr. Cannon, who is chairman of the committee on appropriation, is an especial friend of Mr. Hopkins, who was one of his strongest backers for the speak­ ership, and it is thought that the chances lor securing the building are very bright. If this bill should pass, Mr. Hopkins con can feel sure of an ovation when he re­ turns.--Avrorti Beacon. The New Tear. Where does the new year begig? j|he meridian just opposite Greenwich lias been chosen by common consent for that honor. The only land that it touches is Chatham Island, just off the west coast of New Zeland in the South Pacific. The fortunate inhabitants of this island have the pleasure of drawing up their New Year's resolution^--and breaking them-- several hours before anyone else in the world. Besides inaugurating a new year, and causing many "new leaves" to be turned over, this day performs another good office. It calls a definite halt to the merry-making, stuffing and frolicking of the holidays, which otherwise might drag themselves to a long drawn out death. It notifies the children that it is school time again, and that Christmas and its attendant joys do not last forever, and that they must wait another whole year for the advent of the good old chimney saint. It marks the time for settling the numerous bills of the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker, and let us hope the printer, and for openings new accounts with the world. It lets us down from the high holiday atmosphere to a business footing. CASH TRADE.

What you want to know about Tnuuutlonf 1^" Secretary of the Navy Tracy has de­ cided alter a careful examination to abandon the plans of the f ,500 ton ar­ mored cruiser for which the money was appropriated by the last Congress, and to ask Congress to pass a supplementary bill changing her displacement to 8,500 tons, in order that she may be built after an English plan which is sa'd to represent ail entirely new idea in armored ships. As we are after the best to be had it is probable that Congress will acquiesce. 1®°" A monster petition containing nearly 10,000 names of brakemen, has lately been sent to the Inter-State Com­ merce Commission, asking them to urge upon Congress the necessity for legisla­ tion requiring the use of automatic brakes and couples for freight cars. The Importance of the subject is manifest when it is remembered that about 450 men are kilted and 4,000 injured every year in the way of duty connected with operating freight cars. 1ST All good Americans have hoped that the administration would adopt a decided, not to say vigorous foreign policy. Not withstanding this, news comes from British Columbia that the seal robbers art preparing to send out a bigger fleet than ever to hnnt for seal in American waters. There is a growing feeling in^this country that this thing should be stopped. It is about time Mr. Blaine gave England to understand that our sealing grounds in Behring sea would be protected from Canadian seal robbers. We will toll you.
