They cannot ie fuse it or deny themselves but must satisfy themselves and remain in that condition until a physical reaction comes and then they go home sick and feeble. If these men were destitute they would get no liquor for this is a kind of deadhead that even cannot afford to board and lodge on free whiskey. But they have money and every saloon keeper knows when he sells one of these men a drink of whiskey he is destroying that man and keeping him from his family for days and nights, The saloon keeper knows more about this than any body elso and it is simply infamous that it is so.

The session opened in the usual way, There were crowds in the spectator's galleries and in the corridors of the Capitol, while on the iloor of the House there was the old time confusion, bustle, noise, handshaking, exchange of congratula tions fane! f inh'odflctions. itStJoti officers were re-elected from the speak er ; down. The Republicans gave a complimentary vote for speaker to Mr. Hoed of Maine. There were more th7 a hundred new' faces among the Representatives, and the hall looked much improved by its new carpet and freshly varnished fur niture. The seat drawing presented the usual amusing scene of expectation suspense and dlappointraerjtrrof 4hfj countenances of the7 fortunate and less fortunate members. The Senate chamber lookeLbnt little changed since the last adjournment, except frr the crape draping Vice President. The Senats opened as gaiety ly as if its vacation had been only nine hours instead of nine months. Senator John Sherman was elected to succeed Mr. Hendricks as President pro tem. Senator Logan having de clined the first caucus nomination for the place. Nothing could have 'been more repugnant to the Democrats than the selection of blicrniaru lhey wpulu have prefered Logan? a's'thc lessefevit' .TT, ., c, . x Wl,le Senator Logan is a narrow, pos- itive partisan, his discreet action after 1 the last Presidential election was in marked Contrast to the Undignified COn- A,,,. t. f -r tU; be admitted that while he has been in Congress during a peiiod of unparalled Rtrftvuo-anoe sind enrruntion. bis ner- . , i sonal honesty has not been questioned. , oiicruia.it is tin. auuuuipiisueu uyiu- crite.

In regard to prospective legislation it, may be asserted that the House will first give attention to a change of its rules. Then a bill will be presented, forgiving the Presidential succession I to the Cabinet. It is urged that the I temporary President, provided by uch a bill, would not bo the peopleVchoice, j but neither would an officer elected by the Senate.
