~House is running up the party

.@ good politics. It shows the
gountry that if the Repubticans
da Congress were afiaid to en
mounce a policy for the session in
advance of the Christmas recess,
which extends from tomorrow
antil January 5th, the Democrats
were not.
It hes often been denied on the
floors of Coneress that the logi-
oul outcome of the present civil
service law would be a ciyil pen-
gion list, but now Secretary Gage
bas actually started a civil pen-
gion list, under the alias ofa oroll

Those snide patent attorneys,
gwaidto be quite numerous, who
make a practice of getting the
dash of inventors under the pre-
tense cf precuring and selling
foreisn patents on their inveos
fions, knowing that no foreign
patent that is worth the paper
@pen which it is written can be
gotten from them, and that no
gale cau ke made, are in a bad
way. Acting CommissionerT of
Patents Greeley, who earned bis
-gpurs by his conduct of the in-
ve tigation that resulted in form-
Mmeanomber of glaring abuses
ia Patent Office practice, is on
their ~rail, and determined to
break up such criminal methods,
aod his determination, ability and
Ronesty are all of the A. 1. brand.
An attempt is to be made to
lkave the House and Senate Ip-
dian committees agree or legis»
Iation for Indian Territory, bu;
inasmuch as the Senate Commit-
tee has already agreed to a bil]
for apportionment of the lands of
the five civilized tribes, it leoks
as though that means merely an
attempt to get the House Com-
mitlee to accept the bill of the
| Senate Committee, whichis sup-
ported by the Dawes Commission
and opposed by the representa-
tives of the Indians.
- Although the National Board
of Trade, which held its annual
session in Washington this week,
changed the time for holding its
annual meetings from January or
February to December for the
ayowed purpose of_ influencing
Co-gress, its members must be
fully convinced of the impossi-
bility of getting the gold legisla-
tion they, in common with Secre-
-|tary Gage and his side partuers
of the omonetary cpuierence,�
are trying to secure from the
Present Congress.
This has been ared letter week,
indeed, in the career of Senator
Daniel, of Virginia, who has been
chosen to succeed the late Sene-
tor Harris, of Tennessee. as a
: member of the Senate committee
on Finance, and unanimously
reelected to the Senate by the
Virginia legislation. Two such
honors seldom come to any man
in a single week, anc it 1s not
surprising that Senator Daniel
should be overwhelmed with
congratulations on his good
fortune.
The Republicans of the House
sheuld he beld responsible for
their failure to save the $1,000,-
000 or $1,500,000 a year which
Representatiys Bingham asserted
could in the opinisn of himself
and h's colleagues on the Appro-
priation committee bs saved bv
the reduction of the extravagant
salaries paid to clerks in tbe
departments. If that committee
has such an opinion, it failed to
perform its duty when it reported
the legislative, Executive and
Judicial appropriation bill, now
b+fore the House, without pro-
viding for those reductions.
~There are reasons for believing
that there are a sufficient number
of Kepublican Senators who will

Mr. Richard Crokar, the widely
known Tammany Democrat, was
a guest of Senator Murphy this
week. He said thathe only ran
over to Washingten for a rest
and a cbang:, but there was
probably considerable New York
polities in the long talks le haa
with Senator Murphy.

A Christmas Tale.
An editor once, being weary
from fasting, fell asleep and
dreamed that he was inT a large
hal! in the midst of which stood
a Christmas tree lit up with sev-
al thousand candles. There were
~no presents upon the tree but
while the editor wondered at this
a wide door opened at'the end of
the hall and there entered a great
multitude of men with happy
faces. Each man had one hand
in his pocket aud as he passed
ths tree he drew forth a shiniug
silver dollar and stuck it thereon
The editor wondered how the
dollars were made to stick and as
the last man left the hall he
enquired of him as to this singu~
lar thing. The man réplied:
oMr. Editor, that is a miracle, but
it is not the only miracle you
have seen tonight, for this 18
your Obristmastree, and the men
you saw were your subscribers
who hit upon this ingenious
method of paying their subscrip-
tlon- :
The editor awoke. He shiver-
ed as he stopped upon the bare
floor and he sighed as he thought
of his dream, for dreams often go
by coutraries. But dollars putor
an editorTs Christmas tree will
stick, Who comes first to see the
miracle.

Novel Reading.
oIt is very easy for one who reads
a great many amusing books to
take the whole matter too serious-
ly,� writes Droch in The LadiesT
Home Journal. ~Reading novels is
neither ~improving your mindT nor
~being literary.T No doubt from the
best fiction one may pick up a great
deal of vaiuable observation of life
which tends to general culture, and,
moreover, there is among them
some of the stuff that is called liter-
ature. But knowledgé comes high,
and the price of it can seldom be
paid in the coin of the imagination.
The person ~who takes fiction seri-
ously is apt to take life frivolously.T
If wecan only get out of a book
