A hot fight for a chaplaincy In congress, from which one candidate emerges trl ' vmnhant though disheveled, having won the official privilege of appealing to Al mighty Ood In a representative capacity for IMCi a year, while the others retreat In more or less disorder with a gloomy consciousness that life Is not one grand, sweet song thl3 Is not an edifying spec tacle. Such a content has Just lieon waged In the lobby of the house of repre sentatives, and we cannot believe that those who took part In It or the public who looked on really approve the per formance. We have no wish to censure sharply either the candidates or their allies. We prefer to believe that they found themselves engaged In a more eager struggle than they had anticipated, and, growing ardent by insensible degrees, be came superheated without reolls'ng how Indecent such A scramble was for such a place. Probably not one of them would care to defend all their proceedings, and some of them, possibly, have since offered to heaven personal petitions not wholly unrelated to the subject. But the biennial contest for the place of chaplain Is not the only ucanilal which the custom of beginning the eH'ons of congress with public prayer involves; nor are we sure that It is the worst. The dnlly performance of an Irreverent farce Is not pleasing to serious citizens, and there Is no warrant for supposing that It pleases Ood. It would be a surprise to learn that the devotional exercises of the legislature In any state In the Union were uniformly celebrated In an appro priate manner, though the new state of Utah, so long as the Mormons control It, may remain an exception to the general rule. Certainly the habit of congress Is well known, and well known to be un becoming. A largo majority of the mem bers are accustomed to linger In commit tee rooms uil elsewhere for the express purpose of avoiding the prayer.' Of those who are In their places a few are at tentive and devout, but the rest simply employ the time in one way or another with as little regard to the chaplain as If he were an obscure and prosy member pronouncing a perfunctory eulogy upon a deceased member. Undoubtedly the conduct of the disturbers Is worso than that of the absentees, but together they reflect a general sentiment of- more or less contemptuous Indifference to the act of worship for which ihey provide The truth is that the function has be come an empty formality, and, being that, It Is a mockery. If It Is not to be re informed with the spirit which originally made It a real and approprlato appeal for Divine guidance It ought to be abolished. There may be force In the argument that it is not Incumbent upon the representa tives of a people who require no religious test In any circumstance, for nny pur pose, to Join officially In a religious cere monial; there certainly is no advantage or propriety In their maintaining a burlesque of religion at public, expense. It Is not Impossible that some devout persons muy think that those observations savir of Irreverence, or at least tend to the en couragement of Impiety. But we wish them to believe rather that hypocrisy, cant, the spurious symbol of a non- exist ent faith, and the preservation of a cus tom which has ceased to express a jten eral sense of spiritual need and duty aro the things which appear to us offensive. We are far from assuming that nil or most of the congressmen who virtually Ignore the religious exercises whl?h open their sessions are habitual scufTers; but they have come to regard It as a mere formality, having no claim upon tli.tr time or attention which any other Inter est or obligation may not pruiierly super sede, and its maintenance under su-h conditions Is at one unprofitable and un seemly. Those timid person who hv feared that Speaker Reed would almost hesi'ate to accept tho speakership bees use of the great responsibilities involved are hoping that he will be ever cautious and slow going. They want him to mako no mis take, they say. They really do not under stand tho situation. A condition, not a theory, confronts the Republican party. That Is what has confronted Qrdvcr Cle-viund, but his responsibility has pant. We do not mean by this, and we thor oughly believe "thut Mr. Retd doesn't be lieve, that any drastic measure of tariff or currency reform is to le Introduced hastily and put upun Its passage. But the Republican majority, and Mr. Reed as its accepted representative, must plan so wisely and bravely that the product of nil thla thought will f0 appeal to the senate and later to tho president that the tipper bnimh of oongress will pass It and Mr. Cleveland will not dure to veto It. As the house of representatives is expect .I,. , , I ' U,KI" lormuianon nf laws calculated to Improve the busl-' ne.v8 condition of the rountry the respon- I slide mulority must do It.

The criticisms of ourAmerican mission aries, now bo freely indulged In by certain writers and officials, are distinctly denied and offset by most emphatic commcnia tkns of their labors by such m. n as the late United States minister to Persia, the Hon. Mr. Benjamin, Lew Wallace, Dr. S. F. Smith, Lord Shaftehbury, and thous ands who, as tourists and national repre sentatives have had the fullest oppor tunity to discover tho facts and give an unbiased report. The verdict of the New York Yacht club committee which is to Inquire into the truth of Dunraven's charges vM be un heiltatlngly accepted on this side of the Atlantic, and it is difficult to see how Eng llshmtn of fair minds can refuse to abide by It. The Investigation will be un Im partial one. All we want Is the facts, and everybody concerned ou?h; to wont all the facts. The details of the recent lynching In South Carolina suggest the propriety of calling home some of our missionaries In Turkey and sending them to that state, If there are more of them than could be employed profitably In that region, a few of them might keep on to Texas. Governor McKlnley's tribute to the memory of ex-8enator Thurman U graceful Illustration of the truth .that Re publican leaders are ever willing to honor true Americanism, even when It Is found In a political opponent. So our old friend Coin Is going to cstab lish an "order." If It does not discover bet tcr staying qualities that "Coin's Finan cial. School" it will not bo sufficiently long-lived to cause the country much trouble. And now our deur friends the Nlcara guanS are trying to shuffle out of a paltry debt due the United States government for educating an officer In West Point military academy. So long as Uncle Sam allows Apaches to murder settlers In Arizona he has hard ly any right to give the sultan a kick for what the Kurds are doing In Armenia. It Is a shame to throw eggs at Herr Ahlwardt unless they are utterly useless for any ether purpose, and even then the act Is highly Indecorous. What, another cold wave and wlnd hUrm on Its way hither post haste, due today, and a mliiBtrcl show Inst nlghtl This is too, too much. RELAY CYCLISTS. Military Bicycle Corps Makes Record. a (treat "Another military bicycle record was created yesterday," says a recent issue of a New York paper. "The final pa r ot cyclists In the great relay race from Washington to this city reached the Barge Office at the Battery and handtd a message sent by Major General Miles, rommandlng the army, to Lieutenant Longman, of the Fifteenth Infantry, rep letentlng General Roger, commanding the department of the Kast, at twelvo mm utes before 5 o'clock in tho morning. "The schedule time for the run from the Capitol to this city, a distance of 2"8 miles by the roads selected, was twenty' two hours. The race begun on Sunday morning at 7 o'clock and wis completed. In the face of serious obstacles, duo to tho condition of tho roads and the weather, in twelvo minutes less than tho time scheduled. "Everybody connected with the run was highly pleased at this new demonstration of tho utility of the bicycle as a means of communication between distnnt po'nts, and the military cyclists who wt-e on the final relay between New Brunswick, N. J., and Governor's Island were highly gratified at being able to hand to General Roger's aide the message Intrusted to the riders by General Miles ahead of the time allowed by exports who had mapped out tho course. GEN. MILES SENDS A MESHAO'-l "Br fore leaving Washington Saturday on an Inspection trip ihrouhgout the South, General Miles dictated an Informal dispatch and directed Brigadier General Kumiiel Bre.k. his adlutant general, to detail one if his subordinates to deliver the communication to the military cyclists. Mr. Daniel O. liroenan, who was chosen for this duly, was promptly on hand early Sunday morning, and Just as the hells were ringing their unnounce ment of 7 o'clock ho hand-xl the message to Captain S. H. Wlgiran, commanding the cycle oorps of the District of Colum bia mllltiu, who mounted his wheel, and, accompanied by Sergeant U. H. Durfee, of the same corps, dnilud down the ave nue on the road to Baltimore. A number of wheelmen had assembled to watch the start, and after the relay riders had reached the White House, n short ' dis tance from the war department, they rede after them. The route mapped out was through Lau rel, Baltimore, Belalr und Havre de Grace, Md.; Elkton and Wilmington, Del.; Philadelphia, Trenton, New Bruns wick and Jersey City. The weather when the cyclists started was line, but nil the way to Philadelphia the roieeW wsre found to he In a terrible condition, and, con sidering this, the Mme made by tho riders Is remarkable. ROADS GOOD AND BAD. Before leaving Philadelphia the loads were found to be In fair condition, tut this side of New Brunswick the la.U relay men ran Into a rain storm that retarded their speed. Lieutenant F. P. Ubby and Private E. A. Pitkin, of the District of Columbia militia, made the run from New Brunswick. They were paced by Lieu tenant Stevens, United States army, and Captain Stanbach, of the Eighth Battal ion Bicycle corps, and the parly reached the Bulge Oltlce at twelve minutes of 6 o'clock a. in., tired and covered with mud, but happy. Lieutenant Longman met them at the Governor's Island lundlng." GRAFTING A SNAKE. (Fargo, Dak., Argus.) Dr. G. A. Countryman, of Mallotte, S. D., possesses a combination snake. It Is half garter and half sand snake, and this pecullur composition was made pos sible by a surgical operation uerformed by the doctor. His attention was t'lrect h1 to snakes from observing that when a snake was killed Its tall appears to live until the sun goes down, when life oases. It Is thought by many that this is owing to the nerves, but the doctor was some what skeptical on this point. Being a surgeon, he dissected several and made some Interesting discoveries. He found that In both the sand and garter snakes the spinal column extended little more than half the lengtn or me nouy. inow- , ,hl(t lt w Impossible to rraft flesh, this lid him to ehlofcrm them and try H'Holug lhiu. making the splice, of co"r"'' MoW ",'e !"d f th" "'"l"'.

The bi .do. w f Dundorf's daughter Rosa and Joseph Derr, a farmer residing at Plainlleld, was the recalcitrant groom. The guests had arrived and the wedlng dinner was In preparation at the Dundorf home, but the groom did not arrive and the bride began shedding tears. Then the groom appeared and in a business-like way In formed the girl and her father that the wedding would have to be postponed, as the money he had saved toward defraying wedding expenses he now intended to use In the purchase of a cow.
