N the present situation in Washington it is natural that exag- gerated reports should fly abroad on the wings of rumor. There- fore we have stories about the intense personal nature of the ition between the President and his party in Congress. Such between the President and Congress is not new in our tory.~ It appeared in 1793, when Washington made the treaty with Great Britain an administration measure, rogated the treaty of 1778 of amity, comity and alliance ce. Jackson had the same experience in the abolition of United States Bank and establishment of the independent Mr. Cleveland carried his party back to power by an verwhelming majority in 1892, with every prospect of a long stay. 1893 he reached “the parting of the way” with his party in 1d long eclipse of Democratic hope followed.

LEADING against armed revolution is the wise attitude of the P sian priest, Father Gapon, who is now an exile at Nice. He is a man who was once thought capable of powerful leadership in exciting the Russians to revoit against that Emperor to whom he had a year ago borne in vain the petitions of the workingmen. His ership on that oc¢asion resulted in a massacre of the too per- sistent petitioners. Consequently in a revolution his prominence as a leader would at least have been highly spectacular and his rally- cry of revolt would have possessed a dramatic fitness. How- e priesthood in his nature seems to be in the ascendant. The of that useless bloodshed of a year ago may be tempering mental attitude now to one of mildness. He is said to possess extraordinary powers of making stirring speeches and thereby arousing the multitudes. It is to be hoped that his written messages to his followers will have an equal force in pacifying the enthusiasts, as the unfolding of the red flag for armed revolution now would mean only a cruel fratricidal strife and nplish nothing for freedom’s cause. If the worst came to the worst in an appeal to the last resort of brute force it is probable that in the rough and tumble struggle the Russian peasants would triumph. There are enough of these to club the revolutionists into submission even in the event of the loyalty or the ammunition of the army giving out. - The peasants are discontented with present conditions, but not with the pro- gramme of a “Little Father” in the person of a Czar to rule over loly Russia. They are religious and they regard the revolutionists s impious. They object to bloody riots and to paralyzing strikes against the rule of the Czar, and persistence in them by the advo- tes of armed revolution will make the peasants violent and re- 1geful reactionists, whose support of the autocracy would delay ong years the ambitions of the workers for human freedom. In an interview with a correspondent of the New York Herald, "ather Gapon states his belief that an armed revolution would be a senseless maneuver, because it would cause 2 reaction which in turn would create a military dictatorship; and he warns the reds not to make the mistake of the French Commune in 1871. This is excellent advice; Al the friends of peace and order, as well as the ardent wishers for 2 more democratic form of government, should patiently await the test of what the Douma can peacefully accomplish. Even if the revolutionists were completely right in their designs, they have proved themselves not now strong enough to carry them out, and their futile and frantic efforts would cause a useless shedding of blood. ea " 1 Was it 2 mere coincidence that at about the time Thomas W, Lawson mortgaged his home for 2 quarter of a million H.

A Southern politiclan recently told of an Incident in connection with a slight earthquake that visited onme of the Gulf States not so many years ago. The shak- ing of the earth was distinctly felt all over the State, but especially in the State capital. The Legislature was in session at the time, and nearly every member thereof ran out of the State House when that structure began to evince a disposi- tion to turn itself over. Of course there was an end to, legislative proceedings for that day. Whén the body had reconvened it was- found that some member of a grimly humorous turn had made an entry on the journal of the Legislature in these words: “On motion of the House, the Legisiature adjourned.”—Harper's Week~ Iy, TWO VIEWS OF IT. A girl in Haddam went to a baseball game and surprised her escort by her knowledge of the game, says the Had- dam, Kan., Clipper. The young man had ventured to say: ‘“Baseball reminds me of the houséhold—the plate, the batter, the fouls and the files.”” ‘“‘And it reminds me of marriage,” she added. “First, the diamond, where they are engaged, the struggle and the hits, when the men go out, and finally the difficulty they have in getting home.” 4 Football Term of the nature of constant 1ll heaith as a handicap in the race for pre-emf- nence.

Then he turned again to the beautiful malden who tim- orously sat before him. “Thou wouldst know thy fate as it was written in the hour of your birth by yon swinging orbs?” he queried. “That's it! You're on!” the maiden coyly responded. “Thou wart—that is, thou were barn under the friendly adminjstration of Venus. Hence it follows that thy life shall be devoted to love.” “Why, how sweet!” the maiden gur- gled. “But Mars was monkeying around at the t‘me, and Mercury also tried to take a shy at you; so that your love will be somewhat spotted and varie- gated, as well as ringed, streaked and speckled.” The maiden sighed—on the side. “You will marry a tall man of com- manding presence and red hair, the color of the latter, as well as that of his nose, being due to the interference of Mars, and not improbably, to some extent, to that of the unknown planet Bacohus. He will be brave and cour- ageous, but not to the degree of fool- hardiness. To illustrate, he doubtless will let you hunt for the burglar, but he will guard your rear.” “He will guard my ear!” the malden shrieked, in evident surprise. . “You misunderstand. I mean that he will constitute himself your doughty rear guard and after-the-event cham- pion. You would live most happily with him were it net for the malign influence of Uranus, Saturn and the Milky Way, but, as it is, you will have to guard carefully against impossible contingencies. Two dollars, please.” “But,” the maiden hastily interposed, “Is there nothing further you can com- municate concerning my knight, my peeriess champion, my spotless hero, “Nothing,” the wise man interrupt- ed; “absolutely nothing. Gladly would I do so, but, alas! the stars have closed up their business for the night, and that lets me out.” “QGirls,” sald the beautiful maiden to her friends, later. “He is no good; he gives the seeker after hidden truth no satisfaction whatever.” y “What makes you say so?” the girls together inquired. ) “Why, he never told me whether or not my husband would have lots of meney."” - And, of course, everybody can see that he was but a bum astrologer. m—e AH PICKS MAHSE'F UP AGAIN.

The only attendant was little Marjorie Brown, a cousin, who was prettily gowned in white and carried pink car- nations.
