Judge Simpson believes in juries finding verdicts. He kept the jury in the Hatch case, out for about fifty hours until they adjusted their differences of opinion and arrived at a verdict. The present panel of the district court, has no "eleven contrary men," and have no difficulty in getting together, when the baliff corals them in the spacious and sumptuously furnished ''jury room" of our elegant court house. But the baliff has no control over the minds of the jurymen, and sometimes, only solitude, seclusion, and additional instructions from the court, enables the authorities to get them of one mind. Well, CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

1897. KTERID IK in KHOma AT M'T KANSAS. AS BBOOND CLASS MA The New World and the Old. The continent ia in a tamolt. England is comparatively quite to far as ter home interests are concerned but she has the Indian question to manage and that will tax her utmost energies.
Famine prevails in India, and as oenal, the plague comes with it. Millions of people are suffering from want of food and enervated by hunger they fall an easy prey to disease. The New York Medical Record, of January 26, gives the following appalling picture: L. senior phyeician of the principal hotel in Bombay, died on January 5th, of the bubonic plague. The Indian government at Calcutta has sent Dr.
Ciegborn, the director-general of the medical service, to Bombay, to report upon the increase of the plague. The mill operatives and their families are quitting the city, thus adding a quarter of a million of unemployed to the country districts. It is now estimated that three hundred and twenty-five thousand persons have lied from the city as a rpsult of the spiead of the bubonic plague, scattering contagion in the villages up the country. The Times of India says that owing to the exodus on account of the plague the population of Bombay has been reduced by one-half. The weekly mortality is two thousand, and more shops are closed than open in the native quarter.
Despite panic, many victims of thu plague refuse to accept medical treatment, regarding the disease as a visitation of God. The plague is also reported to be raging with great violence at Kurra-chee, one of the chief seaports of India, at the extreme northern end of the west coast at a considerable dia tance from Bombay. The area of famine covers a very large extent of country inhabited by over ninety million people. In two-thirds of this district the distress is very acntf, and almost the entire pop ulation in some parts, cultivators and laborers, of high and low caste, are crowding to the relief works. In western China, also, a severe famine is reported, and the distress has now been aggravated by severe floods which havo destroyed the rice and other growing crops from which relief was exoected.
France has the Madagascar question which is a serious one and her othor colonies are giving her trouble also. Germany appears peaceful but she is rent with internal dissensions. Spain has an empty treasury and two rebellions, one in the Phipphine Islands and one in Cuba. Kussia is the bugaboo of all Europe and in in constant danger of attack from her neighbors. She is infringing in China and the Indies and is in perpetual turmoil.
Turkey has the Armenian trouble and the ill will of the whole civilized world. It is a relief to turn from all this to the American continent. Not a war nor rumor of war. Every nation is at peace with every other nation, Famine and pestilence are unknown. 1 Surely there is room for gratitude that we are so highly favored.
Why should not all America enter into an alliance of peace. Why should not we enter into a reciprocity treaty with these peaceful countries and leave the old world to fight out its quarrels. The Freemau editor's mental machinery is out of gear- It gobbles and jumps cogs at a fearful rate. He has got his imagination and his memory so mixed up that he cannot tell which is which. He is trying to make people believe that the paper which left its bid on file and furnished bond en time as required is acting in bad faith while the paper that withdrew ilh bid atid the next morning, three quarters of an hour after the time set by the commissioners, had not even put in an appearance is the paragon of honesty.

Senator Peffer Will Hereafter Advocate Straight MiiMIe-of-the-Road Doctrine. Topeka. Jan. 26. The turning down of United States Senator Peffer may be the beginning of a general break-up in the fusion forces in Kansas.
He has written his friends here that he will return to Topeka and continue to edit his populist newspaper, advocating straight populist doctrine. He says he will no longer support the fusion of democratic and populist forces, but will insist on going back to the first principles 'of his party, allowing the democracy to take care of itself. This has greatly disturbed the leaders of both parties, who want to maintain fusion relations in 1898 and secure control of the state government.

Add to this the many hundred of other schemes, including medicine rhows, quack doctors traveling over the country guaranteeing a cure or no pay and always taking the patient's note" for a respectable amount and getting the same cashed at the nearest bank, letting the cure follow at its leisure afterwards.

Advices received by the weather bureau indicate that the full force of the cold wave wiH not be felt in the middle and south Atlantic states until Tuesday morning, when the lowest temperatures of the season undoubtedly will be reached. The cold snap is technically explained to be due to an exceedingly high barometer from the Canadian northwest provinces pushing south and eastward and displacing a low barometer in those sections. Local snows are generally reported from Texas and from Mississippi valley regions. It is too early to predict how much damage will be done to Florida and the South Atlantic states by the cold snap, as the wave will not strike that section severely until to-night. The weather bureau expects that low temperatures will be general throughout the section east of the Rockies most of the week.
