It will represent a reaction from the result of the presidential year of 1888.

I he policy ol the two parties win be modified or rather shaped by their supposed exigencies in the campaign of 1892. As it con trols the Dopular house of Con gress and is likely in the condi tion oi arxairs io laice ine initia tive, the Democratic party's plan of action will be one of pe culiar interest. The drift of affairs for a few weeks to come may indicate what will be its financial policy. The election of . Speaker may . decide the whole question, and on the other hand the factions miy compromise their differences in the choice of that officer. The constitution of the committed on coinage weights . and meas ures will go very far toward settling the attitude of the par ty. Hardly anything can at uus tima be. safely predicted con cerning the action ot the House, So : reliable information is furnished either by the known views of the candidates or by any assurauce ot the result oi the speakership Qsrht, ana speculation is consequently use less, lackicza foundation. Comparatively lew members of Congress have yet reached Washington, but tne skirmish line in the speakership tight is being thrown out about the Capitol and a great dial of pre liminary burning f powder has begun, in a few days tho nnt will be on in deadly earnest Most of the candidates will have their headquarters formally es tablished within tea days, end the champions of each side are zettinz ready for the until struggle.

Bishop Colemax. of Dela ware, has returned home from his tramp of 375 miles through the mountains of Virginia.

If the antipodes are net paralyzed with admiration not unnungiea with awo, then nothing will paralyze them. Miss Wilson is 8 feet 21 inches high.

D., to reside until the law of that young state shall release them from galling matrimonial chains, Mr. James Realf, Jr., believes that he has rendered humanity a service. The col onists are of his opinion, too, and are'so thoroughly in sympa thy with bis efforts to Bet them right that several of the num ber permit him to publish in The Arena along with his con tribution their portraits. Among these is young Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., whose pathetic story of illness and domestic in felicity is more or less familiar to our readers. To add to this young lady's m'sfortunes, while she was recovering; from rheu matism she met with an acci dent which left her with a brok en leg, so that she is probably lamed for life. - A beautiful Englishwoman was one of the ladies at Sioux Falls. The inhuman treatment of her husband, an officer in the British army, drew her to - A merlca and to that refuge of un happy married people, Sioux Falls. Yet another victim was one of the alleged sex.

Wor rail, and a good looking old fentleman he is if be resembles is picture. , His wife ran away and left him when he was sup posed to be suffering from a mortal disease Either the shock of it or the fact that there was a prospect of his getting free caused him to " recover rapidly, and he, too, became one of the divorce colonists at Sioux Falls. Mr. Realf sums up his case as blows: Men and women suffer enough before they seek a divorce court. It is ghoulish to pursue them in the press with misrepresenta tion and ridicule or with ex posure of their marital miseries. A Daogernu CoiiBterfelt. Editors and others who are in the daily habit of handling arge sums of money should look out for a very dangerous imitation of the $20 gold certifi cate that is now in circulation. It is a photographic counterfeit, letter A B. K. Bruce, register; James Gilfiman, treasurer; act of July 12,' 1882: department series, A372945. Apart from the counter containing the fig ure 20 on the face and the por trait of Garfield, there is a little of the gray of the photograph about it. The seal is small and scalloped, having a reddish tinge, applied witn brush. The numbering is very pronounced and heavier than in genuine. The surface of the note is one inch shorter' and one-eight of an inch narrower than the gen uine It has the two paraiiod silk threads running it. The tint on the back of the note is ight brown, while in genuine note it is orange. The counte feit is determined by the char acter of its tints rather than by the liaes in the engraving as it s a photograph of genuine work. Hall talsWutNltrr Turned Whit. John Craig, a young newspa perman of San Francisco, who was recently appointed Secreta ry of the California world s Fair Commission, went to bed one day last week with a luxu riant growtn oi red wnisxers and weke up with one side of pure white. He thought some one had played a practical joke on him and altered the color with dye. but, after shaving off the beard, out it came as before, half red and white. The only explanation of the curious change of color is Craig's men tal worry of seven months over the failure of the state authori ties to approve California ap propriation for the World's Fair. The State Comptroller refused to honor the salary war rants of the Commission, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, where it has beens banging for several months. The members of the commission are all men of means, but Craig left a good newspaper position to accept the secretarvshiD and has not received a cent of pay for seven months.

"One of the minor evils of life." "That may be, but I actually believe, sir, that the weed goes a long way toward making this world better." "Making the world better?" "Exactly." "How so?" "In many ways. Many and many a time when I am down cast and annoyed with business cares; when the black clouds come; when everything goes wrong: when life seems unen durable, I light my cigar, and in a twinkling my cares slip away." "Do you believe that?" "I certainly do. I anneal to every old smoker in the land. I tell you, sir, the aroma of frag rant tobacco is. the greatest enemy of care In this world." "Yes, it is a consoler." "No doubt of it. A compan ion in many lonesome hours." I actually believe that it is al most impossible for a man to be downcast and smoke a good ci gar.

Political campaigns might be educational, and as a matter of fact always would be. only for the unfairness of the . human mind where its interests or prejudices are concerned. All may be fair in love and war, but all is not fair in the field of argument and opinion, far from it. Whichever siJ3 of a question an arguer is on, ought to know, that one of the first rules of ogic is to concede to the op posing side ail the facts that fairly belong to it, with their proper inferences. But tne style of political argument too much in vogue nas been to seize on two facts that exist side by side and claim one as the consequ ence of the other. It is as the ozician should say, "A horse has four legs; a table has four egs, therefore a table is a horse." If the cause of university ex tension advances in America os is expected, then we may hoj e in time to hear orators that are fair in argument, letting facts go for what they are worth nd knowing how te use them. Then political campaigns will indeed be educational. lhe man who distorts facts has a graver re- sponstbility to shoulder than he kind needs most for the prog- -. ress of the race is to get rid of prejudice, and not twist facts to the side of their pnssions or interests. The man who know ingly appeals to ignorance or prejudice among the rnatws therefore does incalculable in jury. Therefore don't rise above party, but be fair and square in argument.
