Gladstone Is a moder ately old man, but is as wide awake as a weasel) The Louisville Courier-Journal thinks it is natural that Dakota should be Republican after all, as there are so many "cold days" up there. A WARE'S SFSC WITHOUT EGGS. Republican politicians seem to be all torn up over the invitation extended by Mr. Cleveland to Representatives Carlisle and Randall to visit him for consultation on matters pertaining to the incoming adminis tration. They claim to see in this visit of the distinguished Congressmen to the Presi dent elect an effort to heal over breaches which, in the imagination of Republican newspaper editors, are wide and widening. Out Republican friends are giving them selves a deal of unnecessary worry, and all for no purpose. There is no breach In the I Democratic pariy. There are differences of I opinion among representative Democrats a I to bow certain reforms lu the administration of government are to be accomplished, but there is no difference as to what reforms are necessary. They are all traveling to the same destination— is only a question of which is the best road to reach the desired place. That is all there is of Democratic dis cord. It is the most natural thing in the world for a sensible man and political leader like Mr. Cleveland to consult with such brlllant corps com tuanders as Randall and Carlisle. The invitations were intended, doubtless, as a tribute to the position the two men held in the party, and because he recognized the value of their wise counsels in framing the incoming administration. It is no ordinary task that Mr. Cleveland Is about to assume. He is expected to reform a gross system of public evils that has grown upon the country systematically for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. While no one doubts Cleveland's ability to accomplish all that one man can accomplish in this direction, yet the work is of such >,berculean proportions that it will re quire the best efforts of all the best men in the Democratic party to assist tn the labor. And Mr. Cleveland knows, as the whole country knows, that there are no more real, effective reformers in the land than Samuel J. Randall and John G. Carlisle. The first condition of a successful admin istration Is that the President shall himself be director of it. The indications point to Cleveland's administration being a success. The English people are committing a gross folly iu discharging their Irish employes. The Republican press Is crowing a good deal over the discovery that Tuomas Jeffer son's wine bill during bis two terms in the I presidency amounted to $11,000, and their papers ate disposed to taunt Democrats with their talk about Jeffursonian simplicity. When it is remembered that Mr. Jefferson paid bis wine bills out of bis own pocket, and did not charge them up to the "stationery" account, and that for the eight year* bis wine bill only averaged about $3.50 per day. cost of one bottle of poor champagne, and then remem ber that the great statesman was imbued from Ma boyhood with that old-fashioned, genuine Virginia hospitality which believed In a generous display on the sideboard as well as on the tahle, it must be admitted after all there was a good deal of simplicity and economy displayed in comparison with the snob extravagance prevailing .iu high • official circles to-day. The busiest people in the land at this time are the Cabinet makers. One thing In Mr. Arthur's praise, IT* has done nothing and has done it very well. DEFEAT OF the NICARAGUAN TREATY. The lallure of the Nlcaraguan canal treaty was doubtless a surprise to many people, but there were several good reasons for It. The possible completion of the Panama cana! now under way, and which would render the Nicaragua^ canal valueless In case the for mer was completed, served as a standing ] menace to the undertaking from a business ' point of view. The additional fact that the United States hss a legitimate claim of more I than one hundred millions of dollars agunst | the various Pacific railways, which it is tax ing the ingenuity of our best legislators to pnnidc means far collecting, served as a powerful reason why another hundred mil lion shook] not be spent to render the first hundred million practically valueless. Add i to these reaaoae the doubtful propriety of S flying In tlic face of the Cc.ATTOX-BfLWEit treaty, it will be seen that t > go slow was the wisest thing to do. If the Di Li -sees schema proves success ful, the commerce of the United Stales will pass through thai waterway on precisely the same terms as that of any other nation. And in case American control of a canal becomes a necessity a* a protective measure, it «i I be j as cheap to buy out Db Lesseps as to build a I new one.

The bill introduced in congress by Judge Poland, of Vermont, which provides uni form regulations concerning the collection of paper made in one state, and payable in another, is a matter of peculiar interest to the business public. Of the general benefits which would arise from a measure of this kind there cou'd be no doubt. The leading manufac turers, wholesale dealers and banking insti tutions of all the larger cities, have been put to no end of trouble, and have suffered heavy losses in times of financial depression, owing to the conflicting state laws, relating to the payment and collection of ordinary commercial papers.

The effect of the Poland bill would be to j largely promote the rediscount of country notes and bills of exchange at the financial j centres, thus affording the means of distri buting money more uniformly through the j agency of local banks.

'-!;,' RED EIVKR MILLERS. An Association to Protect the Purity of Red River Flour. Special Telegram. J'r""" ~™° Moouheau, Minn., Feb. 1.— Saturday a number of millers met, according to pre vious notice, at the Grand Pacific hotel, this city. After a full discussion and inter change of vieA-g, it- was decided to perfect an organization, known as the Red River Valley association, to be incorporated un der the laws of Dakota territory. The fol lowing officers were elected: J. V. Horning, of Fergus Fall?, president. M. L. McCormick, of Grand Forks, vice president. A. A. Bruns, of Moorbead, treasurer. G. N. Kniesley, of Moorbead, secretary. The following committees were appointed: Geo. G. S. Campbell, of Alexandria, Minn.; Chas. May, of Casselton, D. T., and | Chas. Lelstikaw, of Elizabeth, Minn., whose duty it is to look up the matter of cheaper insurance. J. N. Harring, of Fergus Falls; H. A. Bruns, of Moorbead, and M. L. McCor mick, of Fergus Falls, to investigate as to through rates east. The main object of the organization as disclosed by the discussion, shall be to introduce the products of the mills of the Red River valley into the markets of the | east in their pure and unadulterated state. Farmers, as well as millers, in this section | think it time to protect those advantages j which God and a combination of soil and climate have given tbem, and secure to them selves the benefits instead of allowing Minne- | apolis and other millers to reap them. The I well known Red river spring wheat contains I 25 per cent, more gluten than soft winter i wheat, and the millers at Minneapolis mix | about 10 per cent, of Red river wheat with the soft varieties and pass the flour therefrom j as Minnesota bard wheat Hour, wbicb sells at j a much higher price than any other. By ' organization and united endeavor it is I thought steps can be taken to protect the eastern markets from paying a high price for a partly spurious article, and at the same time preserve to those rightfully possessing them the benelits which they have been to fur deprived of by combinations of selfish and { greedy millers of other localities. TOO MUCH UELIGI0X. Young Hebrews Join Two Methodist Churches and are Taken to Task . by the Rabbi. Special Telegram. Civc.-NNATi, 6., Feb. 1.—Two Young He- ! brews, Eiins Grostleld and Solomon Butt, i who united with the Methodist church, known as Wesley chapel, and caused much talk, are creating still more gossip. Two i evenings after joining the Wesley Chapel j church, it Is said, th ey «ere received Into a German Methodist church, the pastor uot , knowing of their connection with Wesley j chapel. Discovery of tnis led to a severe | questioning of the young proselytes, during ' which they rave contradictory an- j swers. Hearing of this and of the : disappointment of the Methodists in them. Rabbi Wise sent for the young men, and to day had a conversation with them in the presence of several prominent Hebrew*. They were asked whether It was true that they . bad forsaken Judaism, as reported. Their answer I* reported to have been that they joined the Methodist churches named in the i belief that they could thereby better their cir cumstances, but at heart they were as strong Jew* as ever. They are said to have told this story: A man named Miller, connected with the Young Men's Christian association, ex horted them to leave the Jews and bad drilled them as to the answers they should give to the questions the Methodist pastor would ask them. Both Miller and the pastor, the Rev. T. J. Harris, gave them to understand that If they Joined the Methodist church they would be given a liberal cduca'ion free of expense, In order that they might enter the ministry, and situ tlons would be found for them as tutor* of Hebrew and Greek. After joining Wesley chapel, however, they found that they could not expect the help they ha 1 understood to be | promised, until their probationary term had , passed. PUsatlsfied at this discovery, they joined another church, thinking tbey would not b« placed on probation there. After hearing this statement Rsbbt Wise re proved them sharply for having falsified as they bad done, and, after compelling Batt to give uo the certificate which be held from the Hebrew I'niou college as to bis quaHficstlons as a teacher, be Informed them that railroad ticket* and a little moncv would be furnished i th.-m if they would leave the city and promise ' uot to return.

Sketches of the Men Who Will Appear Next March in the American House of Lords. Evarts In the Front Rank-Spooner the Ora tor—Payne the Millionaire. An l'.t,... C.I.. ,. X...1.1- /-. ~» !,..!.... *»" iiiu session i-i'uoiioie —ureal, jjoiajr lu Legislation. Washington Cor. St. Loois Post Dispatch. There Is a good deal of interest felt here to see the new faces tbat will make their ap pearance in the senate on the 5th of March. Or the twenty-six vacancies it seems that about half are to be filled with new faces. Nine of them already elected are new, and thirteen old, whole of those still to be decided upon It seems probable that nearly or quite all will be new men. Of course the faces of many of the "new" ones are familiar here. Blackburn, Chace, Teller and Evarts are well known in Washington. Blackburn is an Irrepressible sort of fellow, with more voice than brains, and will find bis level in a hurry in the senate, which is not of the sort to be bulldozed or led by a man simply because be has a voice and can tell a good story. Teller did not make much of a record when be was there before, and while the interior depart ment has been a good school to him, he is not expected to bo any particular addition to the senate. He is a plodding sort of man, with no particular brilliancy or marked abil ity in any special line. He is of medium height, with black hair combed back alter the Andrew Jackson style, full beard, but smooth upper lit), and reminding you of some | pulpit dignitary rather than a senator from the young and vigorous state of Colorado. Blackburn is '.. A GOOD LOOKING FELLOW, with a fine figure and a good leg, shakes bands with everybody and calls every - one "old fellow" in such a brotherly sort of way that everybody likes him. Chace will make his mark in the senate,. Intellectually if not physically. And if there is any work to be done there that requires a quick run up stairs be may make a record physically. "I saw him," said a senate employe talking of Mr. Chace a day or two after his election, "going upa marble stairway at the senate end the day of his election four steps at a time. I really think he went up the stairway in a half dozen strides." Chace is only fifty-five years old and as agile as a cat, physically, while in tellectually he will take a high rank In the senate. He will not add especially to Its beaut), however. Very tall, very thin, with a hatchet face, sharp nose and little scrap of side whiskers,be is not famous for his beauty. Evarts, of course, is well known here and everywhere else, so far as his appearance and ability go. That be will take a lront rank In the senate goes without saying. ' Stanford, who is said to be the wealthiest man in the senate, will probably be the quietest one in the first year or two of his term. He has had no legislative experience, and is not much of a talker anywhere, and, being past sixty, he will not be swift to change bis manner of thought and action. • A good deal is expected of Spooner, who is to succeed Cameron, of Wisconsin. He has the reputation of being an orator of marked ability, a quick wilted, keen tongued fellow and a hard worker, who puts bis whole soul into his work, whatever that is. "I re member seeing him argue a case for the railway company that be was so long identified with," said a friend of his here. "It was a hot day In July, He went into she court room, took off his coat and vest and necktie and collar and cuffs and went to work. The sun shone down as It only can in Wisconsin on its hot test occasions, and (he court room became like an oven. But Spooner went on piling up the arguments high and broad and deep, MOPPING THE PERSPIRATION between limes, but never lost sight of the main point, and before night he had won his ease. And it was a most important one, too, upsetting a law passed by the legislature which had been looked to as one of very > grave effect ui>on the railway Interests. He got a salary of $13,000 a year after that, and could bave held the place now at $"20,000 a year ha 1 be not voluntarily given it up when he saw that the management was directing an attack upon a man who had been his life loug friend." Physically, Mr. Spooner is not a striking man. He Is below the me dium size, with black hair, a stubby black mustache, and a boyish sort of way that does not Impress one with greatness. Of Mr. Payne there is as much known away from Washington as here. It is not ex|>ccted that be will make much of a figure in active work In the senate. He Is too old, past seventy, and has been too long out of public life to take hold very vigorously. But as his words are to be those of a very wealthy man, the second In wealth in the senate, they will be listened to. Eustls, who succeeds Jonas, of Louisiana, Is well known to those who were here four or five congresses ago, for be occupied the scat to which be Is now again elected. lie did not make much of a record when here be fore. Perhaps be will do better now that be is older and more experienced. Of K. W. Wilson, who succeeds Senator Groome from Maryland, it is expected that he will, at least, be a worthy successor, for while Groome is almost always in his seat and seems to be a very agreeable and oblig ing gentleman, personally, be has not at all immortalized himself. Perhaps It Is because be Is loo fat. for be is the fat man of the senate since David Davis retired. AS TO AN KXTUA SESSION. There is a good deal of talk about an extra session of congress. The average Democrat is suddenly waking up to the fact that four year* Is a very short while when you are busy though liseems long enough when you are waiting. There seems to be a growing, Impression tbat the thing that the Demo cratic party must do to make a record, in Its first return to office Is to build a navy. Everybody recognizes the need for one and there Is probably a majority In the party here in favor of making this record'ln the com ing four jear». It was talked over pretty fully at the recent caucus and the plan pretty well agreed upon. But since they come to think more altout It they see that the term must be pretty nearly gone before trey can make any show unless something extraordi nary Is done. If they wait until next winter to pass bills making the appropriations for this work the money will not be available until a year from next July. Then It will take a year to get their plans and another year to build the engines and begin work, and the next prcs'dentlal election will be upon tbem with very little to show in the way of a record." It need surprise nobody to see an extra session, provided some rea sonable excuse can be found lor bringing one about. fKtHIDENTARTHl R'XLATK SUPPERS The Liult White Hon— Entertainment* Giren for Special /{•>«»• Companion*. Washington Correspondence N. T. World. There has been a good deal Mid about the penuriousnessof the Hayes* s.yet Hayes never gave card receptions at the White bouse without furnishing ample refreshments for all of bis guests. Wtile he did not furnish liquor of anv kind with the bountiful table, yet there were always great bowls of sour lemonade enu,'b to satisfy any ordinary thirst. Mr. Arthur do. » not furnish even a glass of cold water. A Kentucky member wbo was at the White bouse the other night said that be thought it would be a good idea to nave tae prrsmem given a pump ana a ; tin dipper, so tbat It might be set up In the conservatory for the convenience of the guests wbo ventured out to his card receptions. The president, however, aggra vates this lack of attention to bis guest* by singling out a dozen or more of bis particu lar friends from those wbo are present, in- J viting them to remain with bim for a Isle ' supper. The little Marshal McUirbael per- i forms the chamberlain duties by going j around and notifying the few people that the : president baa selected to join the ladies and : gentlemen who make up bis permanent so- i cial staff. As the boor approaches for the ! sapper the other guests are fairly burned oat , of tie While house. The most prominent and distinguished, if they have not been invited i to tbe all night supper, are hurried away to make room for the real pleasure of the even ing to begin. These suppers often continue until 4 o'clock in the morning. Representa tive Dorsheimer recently made a boast that be drank two bottles of champagne and one of whisky atone of the recent all night sup pers of the president. It is possible that it was after this supper that Mr. Dorsheimer burst out with the confidential revelations of what would be the policy of Mr. Cleveland's administration. It Is not an uncommon thing for the ladies of the White house clique to sit through these late suppers. It is this form of entertainment which is not thoroughly appreciated by the conservative elements of Washington society. It has as much as any thing else given color to the chaiges of fast ness which has been so often made against the manners of what is known as the White bouse circle. DAINTIES FOR DYSPEPTICS.

Hill Make it Warm fur Teller New York World. The election of Secretary Teller will force some pretty sharp fighting between bim and Hill, the present senator. There has been a very bitter feud between these men for years. Hill has been collecting a number of facts against Teller, but has been rather cautions about using them. He said before going to Colorado that when he returned to Washington, no matter what might be the outcome of the Oscnatorial election, be in tended to make it. very warm for Teller. He has been collecting the evidence to show that Teller is directly interested in the illegal leasing of lands in Indian territory. Sena tor Hill has said that he could bring out enough to drive Teller out of fhe cabinet. This is doubtful. The cabinet that retains Benjamin Brewster will not stand upon such trifles is can be brought against the character of Secretary Teller. Senator Hill says he went to the president several months ago to pro test against the appointment of a register of the land olli/c at Gunnison, Col. The selec tion had been made, by Teller nnd approved by the president. Senator Hill says that he showed the president that the mat) just appointed was a gambit r, and was even then engaged in running the principal gambling saloon In the place. He protested against th(! character of the appointment, but he was powerless to have it changed. Senator Hill is more of an Independent to-day than he is a partisan Republican. He thinks that any change iu the government would be an im provement so far at least as the Govern ment's management of western affairs is concerned. Hi* Application Rrjee ed. oil City Blizzard.

The number that can be counted in 6uc room is marvelous; not that the light they give is a necessity, but for the pretty effect they give ou quaint tables and in out-of-the-way corners. One in peacock blue glass has the shade of the same relieved with gold and olive and faint touches of sil ver, which looks, when the lamp behind it is lit up, like a cloudy moonlight sky. Some of the chameleon-glass lamps arc things of beauty, owing to the brilliant, glowing colors of the myriads of tiny beads, by which the changeful effects of shifting hues is produced. Another lamp, made of beaten brass, is dec orated with lizards, beetles and bees in solid metal. The shade is of a new style, repre senting a cottage window, with the silhouette of a girl's head against the light. There is the latticed window, with one side open, and the curtains are shown.

The neighbors, hearing the row, assembled at tbe door of the house where the murder was committed and captured the son as be was endeavoring to escape. The members of the father's clan were then called together, and at a solemn conclave It was decided to administer on the spot the law set aside for parricides instead of appealing to the magistrates, which In variably causes much delay, and perhaps the murderer might effect bis escape In the meantime. So the parricide was hound band and foot, and just without the hamlet a bole was dug and the Wretched murderer con signed to its depths. Tbe mud was thrown Into tbe bole and the members of tbe clan stamped by turns on the grave until it was on a level with the ground, and, without leaving a mound or any marks to point out the parricide's grave, the assembled crowd dispersed silently to their daily vocations.
