We stand today, Mr. President, upoti a financial volcano. We have beard discussion as the starving In dians, but we take no note, it ap pears, of the fact tbat the great ag riculturists of the land are meeting and resolving that there is daneer trouble, if not starvation and oppres sion among them. The labor of the country appeals through every chan nel it can to this Administration and this Congress to stay the awful wreck that ishreatened. The faces of the bankers and the merchants are blancned with fear. No man can tell whether tomorrow or next day every bank in the great centers of commerce will not be closed by the suspension of payments. Iu the midst of such a stale of af fairs we, who I said came here flush ed with victory, had hoped that the majority party, you who control toe committees, you who shape legisla tiop, would have given us the oppor tunity to confer with you and aid you to devise measures to prevent, if we can, the great disaster that ii no.v impending. But the .Senator from Massach usetts brought forth his political measure on the second day of the session, and has contiuu&d to keep it before this body day by day and hour by hour, refusing even the usual time of adjournment from Friday to Monday, depriving every man in the minority of the opportu nity for waut of time to g to your Administration and to our le.tders on that side of the Chamber and tender you our support in efforts to restore confidence in the commer cial community. Those of us who have business interests, who have the opportunity to feel the pulse and know what is moviug, have given what short time we have had out of this body listening to these people. Mr. Piesideut, I heard one dele gation iu the presence of my distin guished friend from Ohio and the aenutor from North Carolina repre senting the tobacco iutertst of the country, u ho came here to to tell us that the fatal omission of a clause iu the last tariff hill, dropoed out by a deik, overlooked in our haste to leave the city, was about to wreck that great interest unless it was re paired. Instead of giving them at tention we take the whole week as certaining how we can restrict tue iights of freemen, and fail to do this act of justice to correst a state of thiogs which if permitted to go on may wreck a great business interest of the country. Mr. President, read the great pa pers of the city of New York today. They tell you that the Secretary of the Treasury, taking the only action that is authorized withiu the law,has come agaiu to the relief of the coun try by ofiering to buy 5,000,000 of bonds; but that is a ineie drop in the bucket sachusetts, the responsibiity must rest with the party in power. The discussion of this measure, if you persist in it while bankruptcy and ruin go on, if the Senator from Mas sachusetts forces the consideration of a partisan measure which is in tended to strike at a section of our country, he has the power to do it, but when he goes back to his homo in Massachusetts he will find that the merchants and the bankers, the men of affairs, the farmers aDd the laborers, will tell him tbat you are attempting to arraign, and possibly destroy, a section of our common country that today, and for two months past, has sustained them. But for the products of that section of the country 6outh of the Potomac, but for the fact that the cotton crop was being moved, there would not be a bank in Massachusetts able to pay its depositors. The only thing that has saved us from our gold all passing out, is the fact that we have been able to draw upon the cotton crop and the oil sbipped hence. You may hasten the wreck, you may speed the time . when tLis distress will be universal. So be it, Mr. President, if you will. Again we tender to you our earnest endeavors to stay thib panic and Eave our com mon country. AN INCOME TAX. News and Observer. The propriety of an income tax is generally admitted, but it has some times been questioned whetherit is expedient for the Federal govern ment to exercise its power in this re gard. It brings the power of the general government to bear directly on individuals id a way that has been deemed undesirable by many statesmen. An income tax was passed during the war, and after beiDg amended at vrrious times, was repealed iu 1871. At first incomes under 600 were ex empted, and then the exemption was raised to 1,000. In 18G5 incomes under 85,000 were taxed five per cent., and larger incomes at ten per cent. The former yielded in 1866 $26,000,000, and the latter 834.000. 000, makiDg a total of $60,000,000; the next year the five per cent, tax yielded 31.000,000 and the 10 per cent, tax 25,000,000. This decline in the receipts from large incomes led to making the rate uniform at five per cent., and 32, 000,000 was realized. The tax was repealed in 1871. Oaly 250,000 per sons gave in any income tax, the ex emption being up to 1,000. It would seem that a good many were forgetful, while doubtles3 many evaded giving in the right amount. We think an exemption of 1,000 is about right, and that the tax ought to bo graduated so as to make very large incomes pay at a heavier xate than moderate ones; say one per I J . , t. ,. r.

Tue banks have less money now tb tu they had before the payment of the 3100,000,000; and this action of hi-, this circular of yesterday or the day before, amounts to nothing, we are told, uuless Congress shall take ac tion; it will not stop the pauic.But if the Senatoi from Massachusetts is to be followed, th3 answer must go to the country, "Let the business af fairs take care of themselves; we urge and urge only as the panacea for all these troubles an election bill." Mr. President, publicly, as I have said in private, while 1 am not au thorized to speak for anybody, I think I can f afely say for every Dem ocrat in Congress that we fully ap preciate the great impending trouble. In the twelve weeks left of this ses sion we are prepared to join you in laying aside every measure that is merely partisan in its character, and we will, as patriots, aid you in fram ing such legislation as may stop or tend to stop this trou! le. It would n t be fair to say that the trouble lies at your door altr- gether. There are possibly causes operating beyond party; I believe there are; but you are in the major ity for the moment in both Ho-ses of Congress and in the executive branch. The appeal comes up to us to meet this ex gency. We are ready to do it, to join you unless you continue to press, to the exclu sion of these important matters,your merely partisan propositions. Now I beg ol the Senator from Massachusetts to lay aside for the moment this bill which the country, as we think, has pronounced against; let it go, and lei us take up the mat ters that every class of our fellow citizene are looking for us to consid er. If you do not, if you persist in the course that has been marked out by the distinguished Senator from Ma3- to 5,000; five per cent, up to 10, 000, and ten per cent, beyond that. Such a tax would bring at least a hundred millions of dollars, and it vouid be a just itiethod of reaching men of fortune who now contribute but little to the support of the gov ernment IRBY ELECTED TO THE SENATE. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 11. On the fourth ballot in joint session J. L. M. Irby was elected U. S. Senator to succeed Wade Hamptom. The vote stood: Irby, 105; Donaldson, 10; Hampton, 4?. John Laurens Manning Irby was born at Laurens, S. C, Sept. 10, 1854. He attended the University of Virginia and afterwards Prince ton. Leaving there he read law for three years under Judge Mclver, but practiced his profestion only two years Since then he has resided on bis plantation and farmed successful ly near Laurens. He took part in the memorable Hampton campaign of '76. When he entered the polite ical arena four years ago he at once became a prominent leader, at the same time giving proper attention to his farm. He esposed the cause of the farmers1 movement and was an ardent admirer cf Tillman. PREDICTED BOOM FOR THE FARMERS. Mr. John W. Book waiter, of Ohio, capitalist and manufacturer, and a close observer of economic questions, said in a late inteiview : 'Now I make the prediction thai the next boom in the United States is going to be in farm lands. I had the foresight several years ago to buy a large quantity of land in Kan sas and Nebraska the vf ry States which have been swept over by this protest against the McKinley bill. My argument was that we had taken up nerly all the good lands. That is so much the case now that there is, literally speaking, no more great West to occupy. The only way we can add to tlie productive lauds of the United States hereafter is by re claiming the swamp lands or by irri gating the desert and dry lands. Both of these processes are very slow and very expensive. The nat ural land has been taken up, and if in large quantities that means a sub division into small quantities, and with the sub division must ensue higher prices of land." Mr. Book waiter took out a pencil and began to demonstrate to the fol lowing effect: "We are now able to export a surplusage of breadstuffs and other food enough to supply only 5,000,000 people. All the rest that is raised out of the ground is consumed by our 63,000,000 or more of Americans. At the present rate of the increase of our population, and considering the stoppage of the supply of new land, we shall, iu six years, eat ourselves everything that we raise in me country. I Lis is so inevitable that there is froin to be an increase of the farming popula tion; it is going to pay hereafter to be a farmer. When we haye no sur plus to export, the world still desir ing to partake of our crops, the prices must go higher, aud I think that the farmer, after having had a few years of low pi ices, is going to have gcod rates speedily. They are a little better row than they have Leeu, and he feels encouraged. This occupation of the soil extends also to the cattle rauehes, of which there are fewer than there were. In short the countiy is settled up, whereas for about -(.' years we have been rushing upon new land, breakiug up too much soil and making the com petition too great amoDg the farm ers." HCW SHOULD XMAS BE CELEBRATED. In a late exchange we find the fol lowing timely observations concern ing the celebration of Christmas: No proof is needed that Christmas ought to be observed au 1 duly cele -biated. But how is the da' to le celebrat ed ? There is a strong tendency to se cularize this day. The world has hold of it and is tryit g to make a worldly thipg of it. With many it is a day of fiivolity and froiic. It is devoted to dancing and drinking and gluttony and carnal indulgences. Such riotous conduct is not a worthy celebration of Christmas. How then ought it to be celebrat ed ? Why, recogDize the fact that unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord, and receive him and hon or him as your Savior. Worship him iu your homes and tell the child ren about him and the great deliver ance which he has wrought. Let all be made acquainted with the great gift of God, which is the ground of all the day's gladness, and all learn to rejoice in him as their redeemer j and Lord, for whose sake all other gifts that gladen us are bestowed and to whom all praise belongs. Le! old and young rejoice together in the Lord of righteousness, and tell to others that the blessed Savior has come who delivers from sin and death. Then we shall properly cele brate Christmas by joining the angels in their song : "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." THE PROPHETIC GOOSE-BONE.

" COLD WEATHER, AXD SO DO THE CRAB SHELLS Horace Johuson, of Middle Had- dam, on the Connecticut river, wjo prophesied the great blizzard, and so made more than local fame for himself as a far-seeing weather prophet, .i dispatch from New Haven says, is out with his prognostication ror t.i6 winter now at hand. He has been so successful in his predictions of late that he is accepted by Mid dlesex county people as a better authority than even David A. Dadoll, the Connecticut almanac maker, Mr. Johnson says we shall have a bitter cold d prolracted winter. He is convinced of this by reason ot nis fcaving made a close study of the hay and grass crops, the shell of crabs and other things, and he finds that all foretell a much severer win ter than we have had for some time. The crab shells, he says, are remark ably thick, showing that these crea tures huve been fortified bv Dame Nature for a long siege with the cold in the muddy bottoms of our rivers this winter. He has found severa squirrels with triple extra fur. He also sees that coons and rabbits are much fatter than usual. All this in dicates that the animal world is rea dy tor the cold. Mr. Johnson has been able to observe all the si;ns of a severe winter except getting a sat isfactory goose-bone forecast, and he is wiiiiDg to stake his reputation on what he has seen. Wilbur btillraan. of Voluntown, who is a Window county weather prophet, on the other hand, has read tne goose-bone satisfaccorily, and says that it also shows that we shall have a coid winter. The goose-bone is accepted by the many Windom county people as the best authority on the weather. Mr. Stiliman's bone ..... . ..!-,,. C . i i . i -. v3 imeu irom a goose mat naa a strain of wild blood. The goose wj hatched in May, consequently the bone is considered to possess all the requirements to make it valuable fcr the weather test. Tuere is a row of daik spots about the sharp keel of the bone. These indicate the probable temperature Ine darh-er spots the colder the a inter is sure to be. The spots this year are very dark. Mr. Stillman says he has read the bone closely, aud nnds that cold "snaps" will be frequent, and there will be but few days when running water will not freeze. The coldest weather will occur during the latter part of Janu ary. There will be a 'green" Christ mas to fatten the church-yards. Mr. Stillman says the coldest day of winter will be about January 20th tebruary will be a month of heavy thaws, ending with extreme cold jueie win ue iate neavy iresnets in March. The spring will be a back ward one. Mr. Stillman has conclusive proof to himself that his prognostications are correct in the fact that some of the forest trees, which he studies closely, have remarkably heavy bark this year, and the shells of clams and mussels seem to him to be un- usuallv thick.

When you see the common expres sion, "Not an iota of it," do you stop to figure out what the supposed quantity of an iota is ? Not having time to spare iu waiting for the read ers of "Notes for the Curious" to reply to this question, we will play the Persian and give the answer without being asked for it. An iota is the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding favorably with our letter i. It was derived from the Hebrew jod and the Syriac judh, and employed metaphorically to express the merest trifle. The expression "not a single iota" is one of the several metaphors which have been used for ages, aud, as above mentioned, was derived from the al phabet, as when alpha omega, the first and last letters of the Greeks, are employed to express the begins ning and the end, as in Rev, i, 2, where we read : "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." And, again, as "One jot (jod) or one tittle (point or dot) shall in no wise pass from the law." Some curious examples of the use of letters, as metaphors may be found in the works of Ligbtfoot and Wet3tein. We often hear of a per son having a "stigma upon him." A stigma was formerly the branding iron used by the Greeks for mark ing their criminals. It was in the shape not unlike a small figure five (5), and was usually applied upon' the forehead, cheek or back of the hand, where it would not fail to be noticed. Exchange. PHICE: 81.00 PER YEAR ALLIANCE NEWS. b Saxdford, Fla., Dec. 11. Presi dent Polk, of the National Fanners' Alliance, has named Friday, Febru ary 6th, 1891, and Washington, D. C, as the time aud place for holding the first meeting of the National Legislative Council, which is com posed of the National President and all the Presidents of all State Al liances. An important action, taken during the closing moments of the late cons vention, was the adoption of a reso lution with reference to the support of all the Alliances. The policy of the Allianee will be to withhold all support from newspapers which do not conduct an Alliance department or at least publish Alliance news regularly. This arrangement Wr not compel the support of Alliance measures or an advocacy of Alliance demands on the part of those news papers in their editorial columns, but does compel a certain degree of fnendhnesson their part and amounts to an absolute boycott of all news papers which do not come up to the terms of the resolutions. At Oviedo this afternoon the ex cursionists were entertained in Fost er's orange grove with a barbecue and picnic dinner. There was speak ing by President Polk, Congressman elect Livingston, Dr. Macune, Mrs. Annie L, Digas and Mrs. Vickery, of Kansas. Highest of all in Leavening Power. V. S. GoVt Report, Aug. 17, 1889.

Whether true or false, the Jewish and the Christian religons must be deemed the most wonderful things of which there is any account in the annals of the race. They are upon any supposition possible, marvelous; and if not from God, they are hardlj less marvelous. The rational solu tion of their existence is that of their divine origin. Jesus on one occsaion spoke of himself as having been sealed by "God the Father." What he meant is that God the Father had authen ticated his mission to this world, and placed upon it the signet of his own authority. He did so when Jesus was baptised, and he did so on the Mount of Transfiguration. He did so by the miracles wrought by the band of Jesus. What Jesus did was proof that he came down from heaven.
