A nocKiMi chiii'o against the salary
ot legislators might stop absenteeism,
which has become so cininon In this
country. It is thought likely that the
French chamber of deputies' will adopt
u rule under which absentees shall bo
lined 'JO francs ('J) a day, the amount
to bo deducted from their olllcial sal
urlcs. A Itnui.ix correspondent says that the
first paragraph of the (icrman conser
vative platform ends: "We combat
Jewish Intluencu in our national life
on which it nets with disintegrating ef
fects; we demand Christian govern
ment for Christian people and Christian
teachers for Christian pupils. Wo con
demn excess of anti-Semitism."
I'iiuso.ns generally have a tenderness
for those whoso lots have boen cast in

A Scotch engineer is said to hsvo

As a result it is said that as much ener

Washington, Dec 5. The second
session of the Fifty-second eongrcs."
which begins to-day Is likely to be
more remarkable for discussion than
for action Not Unit there are not
ninny things to be done, If the bulky
calendars of the senate nnd the House
nro put In nvldence, but principally bo
cause of lack of opportunity, or of in
clination. The thing that must bo
done and will bo done, Is to provide
means for the maintenance of the gov
ernment, and it is generally believed
that thu regular annual appropriation
bills will rupreseut nearly all the posi
tive nehlevinriunts that can be credited
to this session.
There may, however, be several im
portant exceptions. One of them re
lates to the subioct of ItimilL-nitlnn.
Tho public interest In this subject,
which whs awakened last summer by
fear of the cholera epidemic, has been
stimulated by the radical suggestion of
the semitu immigration committee that
nil Immigration Iw suspended for ono
year. Undoubtedly powerful Influence;
will be broiignt to bear to compass the
defeat of tiny bill embodying such a
proposition, but it may "bo Unit the
groat public sentiment' behind it will
oblige congress to pass the incisure.
Looking toward the prospective sub
jects flf discussion, however, unci taking
into account the measures which have
tilrendy passed one or the othei of the
two houses the field is large. No one
expects any tariff legislation in either
house, but the subject is so much in
volved iu tho revenue question and iu
the appropriations to bo iiiudc that more
or less division on Unit topic maybe
expected.
Th'j senutu finance coiiiniiltee has not
yet completed the formidable t.isli it
undertook last session, which was the
compilation of n series of elaborate ro
ports upon tlie diffeiout tariff systems
tried in thu United M.itos 1'lieso re
ports probably will bu most Interfil
ing to the student of political
economy, and may come under
discussion at some period of the
session. Then there are hills to admit
Arizona und Mexico to statehood The
house has passed both ol thes bill.
umUhe one providing for lueiiitinisuioii
of New Movieo is on tuo senate calen
dar favorably reported from the loni
torics committee Tho chairman of the
committee is opposed to the bill, but it
may be that New Mexico will yet join
the uniou by tho act of the icpublicaii
senate.
Tho anti-options bill has advanced so
far as to become thu unfinished business
In tho senate. It was known to lmv- a
largo majority of that body iu its favor
last sossiou upon a direct vote, if one
could have boon reached, but It is
threatened with u renewal of the deter
mined nnd skillful obstructive tactics
which then proved successful, and tho
result is still doubtful.
There will probably be many propo
sitions and much talk this session
looking to reforms iu tho nutloiuil
banking laws, tho necessity for which
Is said to bo indicated by the Keystone
and Maverick bank failures. The state
bank tax may also bo a fruitful thome
of discussion, mill the alliance senators
and representatives will Iks hoard upon
some of their radical propositions.
Those matters, however, are likely to
be simply themes for discussion with
out action. Strong efforts will Iks made
by the house appropriations committee
to retrench expenditures at every point.
mil as tuts must be done with great
care iu order to avoid oiubarra-.smoiit
to the coining democratic administra
tion, there may bj stormy de
bates mid much feeling aroused
before thu desired result is
obtained. Iu connection with tho
appropriation Is the pension list,
und there will bo nolack of suggestions
looking to changes In the laws ducLfneu

WET WEATHER.
In this wet weather take care
of yourself. When you get
wet, get a bottle of Reict's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure. You will feel the good
results with the first dose.
Every time you take it, it will
do you good. The more you
take of it, the better you will
feel. There is nothing equal
to it. The small bottles are
twenty-five cents, the large
ones are fifty cents. Your
druggist will get it for you if
you insist upon it
