C, Nov. 24. fhe coming session of Congress promises to be one of the most in tore-ting, particulaily to Democrats and opponents of tho present high tarirl, we have had for years. Not withstanding the Republican major- ty m the Senate, thore is a probabi- ity that rorae of the worst feature of the McKinley law may be modi fled, if not repealed, and the Demt rat ic House will me that the an- ropmtions are kept within reason able bounds. The naonlo hare had enough of billion doltar Congresses. 'I he Speakership contest is now in very interesting stage, anl, in pite of the nearness of the assem bling of Congress, it is still in doubt. t had been considered previous to his week that Mr. Mill3 was slight- y in the lead, although lacking con- lderable of euough votes to nomi nate him, with Mr. Crisp a close second. It is now thought that this s reversed, owing to the announce ment that the Democif tie member rom New York city would support Mr. Crisp. These members are all connected with Tatnnaany HaH, and here is a disposition among some of the opponents of Mr. Crisp to call him the Tammany candidate, ut remembenng the fate with which Mr. Fasett met for calling jovornor-elect Flower a Tammany candidate, they speak softly. It is he belief of many sh ewd observor3 that neither Mills nor Crisp will be elected, but that the honor will go to !onie ot the other candidates .McMillan, Springer, Bynum, Hatch or Wilson. Considerable amusement was created hero by Secretary Foster's attempt, in his Unancial speech be- ore the rsew York Chamber of Commerce this week, to catch both free coinage and anti-free coinage men in the same net. It will not add to his fame a a Cnaccier, but as a juggling feat it is worthy (fits author and in keeping with the pol- cy he has followed from the first day ne took charge of the country finances. The Sherman Foraker fight In Ohio may result in disrupting the cabi .ct before Mr. Blaine's Presiden tial aspiration does it. It is no sec- et in Washington that Blaine dis ikes Sherman and that the feeling is cord rlly returned, ner is il that Mr. Harrison has long ago thrown the administration's influence to Sherman. To add insult to iniury. Mr. Harrison treated Forker in such a bi usque manner the other lay when he called at the White II;. use to pay his respects that the fiery Ohioa i took himself off in a huff, and went 10 Mr. Blaine, his friend, tor consolation. This wek Secretary Foster raised a big row in the Ohio Republican Association. which contains many friends of Forai er, by making a speech in favor of the re-election of Sherman. Mr- Blaine doesn't like this and it is believed that he is bringing all the personal influence ho can com mand in Ohio to Foraker's aid, and that Foriker is to reciprocate next year. The admieistiv.tion has au oppor tunity of showing whether it has sufficient backbone to fight the Steamship and Castle Garden ring in New York, -as Mr. Sculteeis, who was ceieeted as a member of the commission to visit Europe for the purpose of investigating immigra tion at the request of the President of the Federation of nbor, has, by a trip from Europe in the steerage of a steamer, secured evidence that the steamship officials and the Gov eminent officials at the New York end were in collusion to vielato the immigration laws The day after tho State elections Secretary Rusk remarked that the Massachusetts leather manutacturers ought to be punished for not having carried the State for the Republi cans, by having the.duty restored upon foreign hides. The matter was regarded as one of "Uncle Jerry's" jokes, but, as he seriously makes the recommendation in his annual report, he was evidently in earnest. The case involving .the constitu tionality of that clause of the anti lottery law prohibiting the carrying of newspapers containing lottery advertisements in the mails was argued this week before the Supreme Court. It is, of course, impossible to say until the decision is handed down what impression the argu ments made upon the Court, but the Impression cutside was thit Attorney General Miller was out caseed and got decidedly the worst ofit. The movement to steal Senator Brice's seat has been abandoned sinca it was J earned that Senator Sherman had refused to enter into it. Democrats here take no stock in the talk about putting Governor Russell of Massachusetts on the National ticket. The Bell telephone monopoly this week secured a patent which had been "ung up" m the Paten Office since 1877. It is for what is known the Berliner combined telegraph and telephone. Money Lost. It is estimated that at least ?50,000,000 of the gov ernmnt's paper money supposed to be in circulation has been lost or de stroyed. By the sinking of one ves sel off the Atlantic coast some years ago, $1,000,000 in greenbacks were lost. Press and Carolinian. J.

A COLUMN FOR TII05B WHO WILL RBAJD AND 1UNK. As the farmer is tho great foun tain head of all national and indi vidual wealth, wh , not; legislate awhile in the interest of rings, com bines, pools and trusts and against his interest? Is there any good rea son why those who create the wealth should not bs entitled to all tht rights and immunities that other people receive? More money, less debt or bank ruptcy for the musses. Take your choice. Are you a member of the Alliance? f so shov by your acts. Don't i-e ashamed of it. Don't borrow opin ion. .Think for yourself, act lor yourself. Be a man be an Alliance man. It is not because the Alliance does not know what it wants, but because it does know, that is bringing out uch a tirade of abuse from the chsj- pool of corruption against it. The Western Call. In a reca nt speech Senator Gor man, of Maryland, one of the fore most of living Democrats, said that he protest of the Farmers' Alliance against the force bill did more to de feat it than all other causes put to gether. He declared that that de claration, of the Alliance was of greater importance than any other made in Amenoa since the Declara tion of Independence, because it was he declaration of a gieat indepen- deut organization representing all parties and all sections of this greit country. The Bible pays that he "that hath tiken usury shall not live." But times hare -changed, and the man who takes themost usury livei bet ter tnan anybody. He may squeeze the very life out of some po-r devil, and then turn -his hypocritical eye toward heaven and-ask the Lord to be kind to the poor and afflicted.-- - "Liberty can not long endure in a country where the tendency of leg islation is to concentrate wealth in he hanos of a few J'--? Daniel Web- ter. What then are we to expect will bo the out come 'Of our, Republic? Never before in the historjuif the world has wealth concentrated -wim such rapidity in the hsnds -of a few as it has in this country in the past thirty years. Industry is staggering beneath the load of debt imposed by class legislation. Every avocation is made to pay tribute" to the money power. The insatiate greed of ava rice has fastened itself upon every avenue of human e ploy men t and is draining out the life-blood of all industry In the great cities wealth rears its head and in insolence mo-.ks the wants of man. Faster and fast er the humanity strikes in the hope less effort to supply human want. Larger and larger grows the stream o wealth that flows away from the fields of industry to the fields of idle ness. How long can our Civil insti tutions stand the strain? The Crlta rion.

A "Wonderful Oration Itefore the Greek Vie Men Which Told Them the Greatest Truth h Their Kars Had Kver LUtcntcd To. Brooklyn, Nov. 22. The congrega tion at the Tabernacle, led bv cornet and wgan, saogr tliis moruiug with great power the hymn of Isaac Watta, beginning: Our (rod, our help In age pant. Oar Lope for years to come. The sermon, which was on the Acrop olis, is the sixth of the series Dr. Tal mage is preaching on the subjects tug gested by his tour In Bible lands. , Ilia text was taken from Acts iviL 1G. "While Paul waited for them at Athens his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry." It seemed as if morning would never eome. We had arrived after dark in Athens, Greece, and the night was sleepless with expectation, und iny watch slowly announced to mo one and two and three and four o'clock, and at the first ray of dawn I called our party to look out of the window upon that city to which Paul said ho was a debtor.and to which the whole earth is debtor for Greek architecture. Greek sculpture, Greek poetry, Greek eloquence, Greek prowess and Greek history. That inonu'ng in Athens we sauntered forth anned with most generous and ovely letters from the president of tho United States and his secretary of state, and during all our stay in that city those letters caused every door and every gate and every temple and every palace to swing open before us. The mightiest geographical name on earth today is America. The signature of an American president and secretary of state will take a man where an army cqpdd not. . " Those names brought us into the presence of a most gracious and beauti ful sovereign, the queen of Greece, and her cordiality was more like that of a sister than the occupant of a throne room. No formal bow, as when mon arch! are approached, but a cordial shake of the hand and earnest ques tions about our personal welfare and our beloved country far away. But this morning we pass through wdiero stood the Agora, the ancient market plaee, the locality where philosophers used to meet their disciples, walking while they talked, and where Paul, tho Christian logician, flung many a proud Stoic, and got the laugh on many an impertinent Epicurean. THE ATHKJTIAN MARKET PLACE. The market place was the center of social and political life, and it was the place where people went to tell and hear the news. Booths and bazaars were set up for merchandise of ali kinds, except meat; but everything most be sold for cash, and there must be no lying about the value of com modities, and the Agoranomi who ruled the place could inflict severe punish ment upon offenders. The different phools of thinkers had distinct places set apart for convocation. The Pla tos&ns must meet at tlie cheese market, the Decelians at the barber shop, the sellers of perfumes at the frankincense headquarters. . The market place was a space three hundred and fifty yards long and two hundred and fifty wide, and it was given up to gossip and merchandise and lounging and philosophizing. All this you need to know in order to understand the Bible when it says of Paul, "Therefore disputed he in tho market daily with them that met him. " You see it was the best place to get an audience, and if a man feels himself called to preach he wants people to preach" to. But before we make onr lief visits of today we must take a ft? frn at the Stadium.' It is a little way out, but go we must. The Stadium was the place where the foot races oc curred. Paul had been out there no doubt, for he frequently uses the scenes of that place as figures wdien he tells us, "Let us run the race that is set before us," and again, "They do it to obtain a corruptible garland, but we are an Incorruptible." The marble and the gilding have been removed, but the high mounds against which the seats were piled are still there. The Stadi um is six hundred and eighty feet long, one hundred and thirty feet wide and held forty thousand spectators. There is today the very tunnel through which the defeated racer de parted from the Stadium and from the hisses of - the people, and there are the it&irs up which the victor went to the top of the hill to be crowned with the laurel. In this place contests with wild beasts sometimes took place, and while Hadrian, the emperor, sat on yonder height, one thousand beasts were slain In one celebration. But it was chiefly for foot racing, lad so I proposed to my friend that day while we were in thei"tadiuiu that we try which of us could wn the sooner from' end" to end of this historical ground,-and so at the word given by the lookers on we started side by side, but before I got Chrough I found out what Paul meant when ho compares the spiritual race with the .race in this very Stadium, as he says, 1'Lay aside evel-y weight' My heavy overcoat and my friend's freedom from such incum brance showed the advantage in any kind of a race of "laying aside every weight." , - THE W03TDKKFCI.

W' Lord Elgin, tho English embassador I 'ttu- A he at Constantinople, pc-miLion -, the eultan to remove from the Aeropolu fallen pieces of the buiiding, but La took from the building u England tho finest statues, removing them at an cx pense of eight hundred thousand dol lars. A teriu overthrew many ot th statues of the AcropolL. Morosinl, the general, attempted to remove from a pediment tho sculptured car end horses of Victory, but theTTtnusy machln-ry dropxed it, and all was lost. The Turks turned the building Into a powder magazine where tho Venetian guns dropped a lire tliat by csplosiem nent tho columns flvlng in the air and falling cracked and splintered. lut after ifi that time and etona 'and war and icouoolasm have effected, the Acropolifeis the monarch of all ruin?, and before it bow the learning, t!w genius, tho poetry, tho aid, tho history of the ages. I saw It ns it was thousand ot years ago. I had read w much .ih---ut it and dreamed so much nbont it, t!mt I needed no magician's wand to re store it. At one u;ivo of iny hand on that clear morning in 1SJ it n.s bcf. ro me in the glory it had wln-n IVrii Act ordered it and Ictinus planned it mid Phidias chiseled it and lrotogiws painted it and Pausania described it. Its gates, which were cart fully guarded by tho ancients, open to let you in, mid you ascend by sixty marble etcpd the propyljra, which F.paniinodas wanted to transfer to Thebes, but permission. I am glad to say, could not bo granted for the removal of thn architect und miracle. In tho days when ten cents would do more than a dollar now, tho building cost two million three hundred thou sand dollars. Sec its live ornamented gates, the keys Intrusted to an olikor for only one day lest tho temptation to go in and misappropriate tho treasures be too great for him; its coiling a mingling of blue and scarlet and green, and tho walls abloom with pictures ut most in thought and coloring. Yonder is a temple to a goddess cal!.-d "Victory Without Wings." So many of the triumphs of the world had been followed by defeat that the Greeks wished in marble to iudicato that victory for Athens had come neve r again to lly away, and hence this tem ple to "Victory Without Wings" a temple of marble, snow white and flit tering. Yonder, - behold tho pedestal of Agrippa, twenty-seven feet high and twelve square. But the overshadowing wonder of all the hill is the Parthenon. In days when money was ten tii:i03 more valuable than now it cost four million six hundred thousand dollars. It is a Doric grandeur, having forty-six" columns, each ."A umn thirty-four feet high and six icet two inches in diameter. Wondrous in tercolumniations! Painted porticoes, architraves tinged with ocher, shields of gold hung up, lines of most delicate curve, figures of horses and men and wonifn and gods, oxen on the way to sacrifice, statues of the deities Diony 6ius, Prometheus, Hermes, Demeter, Zeus, Hera, Poseidon; ia one frieze twelve divinities; centaurs m battb; weaponry from Marathon; ehrrriot of night ; chariot of the morning; horses of the sun, the fates, the furies; statue of Jupiter holding in his right hand the thunderbolt; silver footed chair i:i which Xerxes wadehod the battle of Salamis only a few miles away. MIXEHVA IS Fl'LIi AUMOR. Here is the cole sal statue of Uinerva in full armor, eyes of gray colored stone, figure of a Sphinx, on her head, griffins by her side (which aro lions with eagle's beak), spear in one hand, statue of Iilcrty in the other, a thield J f 1 1 iui!:S( u ame: uu , u,i jfur V carved with battle rcenes, and even the chaie have be; a iu..:Iu to o?: . slippers sculptured and tied on wirh --tdt gro!diic 1;1 ,;: r.;.'ivid. by. thongs of gold. Far out at fcea the Viator bturdbrd o.'I'.i iii ; iij-,0o.i lur. s.ailors saw this statue of Minerva rising high above all the temples, glittering in the sun. Here are Btaiucs of eques trians, statue o( a !ione ?e and there are the Graces and yonder a horse in bronze. There is a statue said in the tiino of Augustus to have of its own accord turned around from east to west nd spit blood; statues made out of shields ronquercd in battle ; statue of Apollo, the expcller of locusts; btatue of An acreon, drunk and singing; ttatae of Olympodorus, a Greek, memorable for the fact tliat he was cdicerful when other. were cast down, a trait wortl.'V if sculpture. But walk on raid around the Acropolis, and yonder you see n statue of Hygeia, and the ftatue of Theseus fighting the Minotaur, and the statue of Hercules slaving serpents. No wonder that Petronius said It waa easier to find a god than a man io Athens.-. Oh, the Acropolis. The most of its temples and statues made frora tho marble quarries of Mount Penteli cum, a bttle way from the city. I have here on my table a block of tEe Parthenon made out of this marble, and on it is the sculpture of Phidias. I brought it from the Aeropolis. This specimen has oh it the dust of ages, and the marks of explosion and battle, but you can get from it some idea of the delicate luster of the Acropolis when it was covered with a mountain of this raarble cut. into all the exquisite shapes that genius could contrive and striped with '.. silver and aflame with gold. The' Acropolis in the morning light of those ancients must have shone as though it were an aerolite cast off from the noonday-sun. The temples must have looked like petrified foam.
