About eighty or ninety members wIlU'o out of this congress to pri vate life on the 4th of next March. Most of the men who will retire will 1)0 ) those who liavi' si'rvod two terms , and liuvo not cut u very distinguishing figure In thoproci'Piluitfs. There : ire , howuvur , a nunibor of important exceptions to this general statement. Kx- Governor Long , of Mussiioliu.settH , In his brief congressional c.ircor covering a period of four years , has made u place for himself in the front ranks. Mr. Huydon , ot the sauiu eUte , la another who will retire with honor , nml Mr Uussell , the hrililunt young demo crat , is u third who will bo lost to the Massachusetts delegation. Thcbo three have rotusud emphatically to run again. Some who are better known in the liouso will probably bo bo bo.itcn at the pulls. \J \ Two or throe southern members and the fcouthern members , by the way , are usually famous for the grip with which they hang on to a congressional seat when it is once secured have also decided to remain at homo lo attend to their business , or have been relegated topiivato lifo on account of the dissatisfaction created in their districts in the distribution of federal patronage ac corded them. There are a great many men who are well known through long service , or through the part which they have taken in the deliberations of congress , who find it difficult to secure a return to the house. Among them Is that brilliant demagogue , the Hon. William Springer , of Illinois , chairman of the committee on territories , and his no less brilliant tliMiiairogical confere , William Ilolman , of Indiana , who is chairman of the cominillco on public lauds. I loth of those men have made a great main enemies not only in their own states , but through the western territories , which lire so gieatlj alTectcd ly the acts of the men holding the positions occupied by these two. riien , again , Kogor Q. Mills of Texas , the dark-lantern chairman of the committee on wajs and menus , has suoi'rcilfd in calling down on himself the wrath of every wool- grower in tlici state of Texas , nml in the llrst time In its history an earnest olTort Is to be made to capture that district by the republi cans with the aid of the prohibitionists. There may , and probably will , bo a number of surprises In the forthcoming con gressional election. The campaign com mittees of both parties in their canvass of the probabilities of the personnel of the housi1 in the Kifty-ilrst ioiigr'ss have taken a trreat many changes for granted. For instance , each Hide lias ligured upon the return of that , Juc-lcihuv on the democratic1 side , JohnI. O'Neill , of St. LUIIIS. O'Neill has the repu tation of a somewhat peculiar character in regard to the soi-hil proprieties. He did a little too much marrying during the past ses sion , ami as a result the Iriends of one woman who claims to bo his legal wife are moving heaven and earth to brine O'NeiH'- . acts befoio the ecclesiastical ehurih and the \oters of Ins district. * Some of the clerks who came over Into this from the last administration , and who were up vo the eti'cticm of ISM recognized us nrdent and true republicans , are in very em barrassing situations under the uresont Btrcss of [ willies. They have been de manded to make contributions to the demo cratic campaign fund , and have also been given opportunity to contribute to the fund for the r publicans. From principle nearly till of them are republican * , but they , of cours.o , in the interest of their positions , do not like to refuse to contribute to maintain- in/ the administration which has retained them in their positions. Koine of them ha\e uiupwuiupod , and they would bo willing to contribute to the democratic campaign fund If they were not afraid that their assistance would become a matter of record , mul lu the event of the election of Harrison and Morton they would be removed. They believe that they would bo more offensive to the new admin istration , if , as republicans , they contributed to the democratic campaign fund at this time A few of them have given money to both pat ties 'Ihe position of many of these men , and women , too , Is very uncomfortable lust at tin * timo. Never have solicitations been made as often or anything like as per- nlstent us during the present campaign , when every avenue of assessment has been closed UP , and the employes of the govern ment tsquucml to the lullost limit. A party of republican congressmen were roing down to Norfolk , Va. , the other day on the lialtimore line of steamers , intending to deliver speeches for the republican candidate lor congress , when they oneountcied n typ ical democratic convert to the support of lliirrison and Morton. Ho is out ! of the very largest commission merchants in New York , and hns given very material sup''K > rt to the democratic party. He was on his way to Norfolk to secure heavy consignments of vegetables and gram. Ho said that he had never delivered a speech upon any subject in his life , but that he had given notice to his agents at Norfolk and the vicinity that they could bill him for a business talk before the line kster.s and Gardners of southeastern Vir ginia next week. "I am turned , " said ho , "against the demo cratie party on account of the Mills tariff bill. J buy NOO.iXX ) wet ih of produce every j ear at Is'orfolK alone , and m.\ outlays throughout the rountri will aggregate over ten million dollars lars a year. 1 import on an average a half million dollars'worth of cabbage from tier- inany , and beans and potatoes from Scotland. 1 am the ini | > orter of the Hue large white onions you see in the groceries nnd marxct- Btalls throughout the country. I get them from llgypt. If the Mllh tariff bill should liecomo a law It would almost rummy busi ness. You can imagine what an effect It would have on the producers of the articles I sell. I make uiy money off domestic produce nnd not imports , because I import only whim the domestic production is les than the demands of the market , when prices are high , and then there is no profit on anything. The Mills bill will rum the domestic nnd export trade for all garden and farm products. I propos to show the truck * Bters nnd tanners that this is true , ami if I i-ould talk to that class of people throughout the country nnd make ilium understand the question as I do 1 belicvu the farming ami gardening classes would bo practically solid lor the republican ticket on the tariff ques tion ulono. I don't pretend to know any thing about politics. This is a pure business question for me , and for these with whom ( deal. 1 know the exact effect the Mills bill , if u law , would have upon the production nnd sale of the articles I handle and there luy knowledge ends ; but what 1 kuow U aulllulont to turn every former and gardncr against the policy of the. democratic party nt this time. There is no theory about it ; it is a | HI re and simple business proposition , and nnd anybody can understand it if they will ualy mane it a study M I have. " AN A.GU.VOV IXSPKCTOK. Colonel Alullet TellH Atmnr the Do- inaiulH of thti HlniiY , Colonel Kdmoml Mallei , United States Inspector specter , registered at the Murray hotel yes terday on route from i'lna Kitlgo ludl.-in agency to Washington. Colonel Mallet is veil vm-bCU In Indian affairs , luvln ; ; bjc.'n for two years In the sorvica us agent un the Pa- clllo coast and latterly employed as inspector ( if agendas In this dutnct. He lian con tributed u number of historical bUctchna to the eastern magazines , ami the intelligent Vlovrx h ld by eastern people on ilia Indian qufitlon are in large measure duo lo his Writings. The ancestor * of Colonel Mallet explored tli'.i country upwards of ISO years ago , and nava to many of tUo rl/ r ami streams ot AeuraiVa ( Lo name * by which they are > "iowu to tUU U y. The UHOiWjf o ( thq [ 'iaUo Is n notMilo Instance and it occurred as follows In the dr y of 17t4 ; the French held way over Louisiana and the adjacent countrj. and had extended their explorations far Into the Illinois country , where a largo colony nourished Governor Do Bicnvllle , who held the reins ofpower , determined to open up a trade with the Spanish settlers of Santa Fo , nnd , accordingly , organized an ex pedition to start from Illinois , it was headed by nn adventurous explorer named 1'ierro Mallet , who named Ins brother 1'aul as second end in command , and ronsistcu of eight tried men. With a somewhat hazy idea of the ire- ngr.iphy of the countrj and the location of Santa Fe , the party followed instructions and proceeded up the Missouri. Their rec ords show that before they reached the Platte they fell in with n trlbo of Indians whom they named the I'anls-Mahus. which Is evidently u corruption of the words Paw nee Omahas , and there they remained to re cruit. Upon making known their ultimate destination , their new found friends In formed them that they were on the wrong trail , and in proof of It showed them ponies they had Iwught from the Spaniards. This settletl it , and a inarch ucros-j the prairies began. After traveling for days they met with u broad shallow river , that seemed to glide across the prairies without the necessity of bunks , and almost level with the plains , nnd they accordingly bestowed on it the name of "La Hiviere Phitto. " This they ascended until they came to the forks , when they followed the advice of their Indmn friends and chose the southern branch. A few days' canoeing and another trip across the plains towards the south brought them to a pass , which , frum their description , corresponds closely with Pike's Peak , and , after an additional march , they came in sight of Santa Fe. Hero they were detained for u few days by the Spanish military authorities , but they ac complished their mission , and the details from thence on are a matter of history. Colonel Mallet has just come from the Pine Kidge agency , and reports the attitude of the Indians towards the proposed treaty as being unchanged , "lied Cloud , as I suppose you know , refused to go as a delegate to Washington. ) He gave as a reason to the agent that ho was spitting blood , but to a few of his more intimate friends ho said that If ho wanted to see the president ho would go to Washington to see him , and if thu president wanted to see him he could comn out to Pine llldge and see him. " "Do you think the Indians are acting upon their own knowledge of the value of land , or are they being guided in the matter by the chiefs f wus asked "I think they are acting on the knowledge they have gained from white men , and upon their individual responsibility. They don't seem lo have much conlldeneo in their chiefs , when they think of the outcome of the former treaties. They certainly wore opposed to the sending of delegates to Washington. " "Why : " "Well , there are really no chiefs. They consider even Hod Cloud as being a white man's chief one that V.MS put in the position ho holds through the sentimentality of the white people. " "Ijjon think the treaty will be a suc cess1 ? "Well , it's hard to say. The matter was fully discussed by the Lower Hrulo Indians , who had evidently boon posted by white men. They are willing to dispose of the 11,000,030 acres required , if the government will at once deposit t5,5UOlKK ) to their credit and let them draw the Interest. Tho\ hold the idea expressed in THE HKE some time ago , that if the cost of surveying and allotment is to bo deducted from the fit ) cents per acre , that the white men's agents will come out'thick as the Hies in summer time , ' and that the amount the Indians will receive will bo very , very small. They want the i5.VHUO ) > > , but nro willing to accept an other alternative. They are willing to sell the land for SI - ! . " > per acre , on government terms , as they think that after the expenses are deducted there will bo a residue of about . " 0 cents an aero left for them. They also take exception to the clause relative to the number of oxen , mares anil cows to be given them. The troat.v savs that n number'not to exceed ti.VJ.UOJ head' shall be given. They .say that tliej might receive only ono head , or perhaps ton head , and that that would bo tilling the terms of the treaty. " A call for "all aboard going east" brought the interview ton close and Colonel Mallet left for Washington In response to a tele gram received while here. Instead of proceed ing to the Shoshone and Nevslda agencies , as was his intention on leaving Piuo llidgc. SPOUTING NOl'KS. It is a rare thin ? indeed for n single game at the end of the season to decide the championship , but that was the case jn the Western association race this season , the prohibitionists taking the flag from the cow boys by one solitary game. President McCormick , of the Omaha Haso Hall association , is being favorably men tioned as a candidate for the piesidency of the Western association next season. Mil waukee is ) urgent in the matter , and the pros pects for his election are bright. Lilco the bench show , the crib club has failed to materiali/o. What Omaha lacks m u sporting way is a head a man of experi ence , ability and thoroughness , and without such a functionary all schemes or enterprises of any magnitude must die n-bornin' . President McCormick received another offer for Lovett yesterday thw time from one of the national leacuo clubs. That the great pitcher is to bo sold there is no doubt , the management are simply holding him to see whether they cannot get more for him. The Western association players most , in demand are Lovett und Crooks , of Omaha ; Duryca , Sowdors , Karl and Picket , of St. Paul. Long , of Kansas Clt.v , nml Alvord , of Dos Mollies. Hutchiuson , Hoover , Stearns and Holliday have already been gobbled up. In the two final games at Hoston Quinn , in the llrst game , made the hit tlu' . won the game. In the last game of the season ho made the hit that assured fourth place to the bean-eator.s and prevented thorn from drop ping below Detroit. Yet the Uostou papers say Joe's no good. Kverv team in the Western association lost money this season , with the exception of St. Paul. IJes Moines being the bigce-.t loser. O'nali.i comes next , but ull are o it from the pennant winners to the tail cnders. It cost In the neighborhood of .510,000 to sustain thu association , as follows : li-s Moines , JII.O'K ' ) ; Sioux C'ty ' , $ < > , . ) ( ) ( ) ; Minneapolis , ? iiu)0 , ) , Omaha , $7.K ( > 0 : Kansas Citv.

The Omaha gun club hunt takes place next Tnes lay , nnd already the majority of the hunter * have departed for the hunting grounds -sumo to Colorado , some lo Minnesota seta towns and other distant points , while a goodly number have gone up the Platte , out to Klkhoni.Sidiwator nnd other flno grounds In this state , and a tremendous bag of game may bo confidently looked for.

[ Spjoial Correspond ence of TIIK Uiiii. ] Very many people are seriously apprehensive of trouble during the winter 011 accouut of the small loaf. The tinkers are under no delusions whatsoever , and they comprehend that Hour wilt remain up whatever may bo the fluctuations of wheat imong Chicago and Now York speculators. So the question has been debated what must : ) o done. The German bakers of this city iiuvo more sense than their rivals , and say that there must bo an advance of prices , and so the 5 cent loaf has gone up to U cents , md the 10 cent loaf to 1'J cents. American baiters , on the contrary , stickle1 for main- Laming the old traditions of the craft , keep * Ing djme and half-dime prices , and propose to diminish the weight of the loaf , and so wo liavo the small louf , and Its size depends en tirely on the personal probity of individual bakers. Certainly the German way is the best , because purchasers are made to realize that Hour Having gone up from $ . to fS.-'O a barrel , bread must go up , too ; whereas , lu the other stores , especially in Hrooklyn , all the women nro crying out , "Look at mo loaf 1 dero tiint no more sire to my loaf dan dere is to a basket of early peaches. " It makes customers much more angry to got a loaf of a ridiculous smallness than it does to have to pay over an additional cent. After the elec tion is over there may bo bread riots , for the wages of the working classes just hover over what it costs to maintain life , and when prices go up wages must go up too , or there will be trouble. OAY TIMES IS 1'OUTIOS. I do not knowvh > it is that New Yorkers are so fond of local Issues , but the fact is that the educa tional part of the programme , which was to bo all in all in this presidential campaign , is now completely ignored except bv the Kven- ing Post , which is a very exemplary paper , with n morbid horror of flippancy and un ex ceedingly small circulation. Charles A. Dana , of the Sun , who is at the same time a icpresontativo journalist and a representa tive New Yorker , thanks heaven , editorially , that the campaign of reason is over , and that the live issues in the city are to turn upon mere personal considerations. And they are peisonal with n vengeance. Abram Hew itt notoriously a know notning , and has ex pressed himself repeatedly , in moments of d\speplic peevishness , with injustice both to ( Jermans and to Irish. The consequence is that the republicans have nominated Krhart , who is a papular German politician , and Tammany has nominated Huglno Garnt , a popular Irishman known to bj both honest and capable. Hewitt stands no chance against the combination. In all the pool rooms , where men during the season played the races and where they are now playing the mayoralty candidates , the professionals are hotting live to four against the know nothing , with few takers. The reason is that ho xvill poll no independent citizen votes , because the republican man will get all that lie is entitled to , nnd will steal some of Hew itt's German votes from the democratic ranks. Hewitt will poll the county democ racy strength and not another man , and is already defeated. Utit it will bo a rod-hot canvass with lots of money for the boys. Till ; OlIKVT FKUNt'll AUflSlS. At Palmer's theatre all the educated people ple are crowding night after night to see and hear Mile Hading and Coquclin , who some times act alone and sometimes together. I doubt very much if many of the audience comprehend French comedy , for reading is ono thing , and hearing the language spoken in a theatre is quite another. When we read French , the words stop for our leisure , ami don't hurry us , but when wo listen to the beautiful French women , why wo nro apt to get bustled. Asa young dude said.to me , "Sigma , I understand the lum uago as well as anjbody , but Hading speaks so confoundedly quick that she gets away from me. " Just so , and If one could know the facts young Giltedge represents iiiiietcen- twentieths of the people who go to Palmer's , nnd who criticize tlo great comedian at five o'clock teas. The most conspicuous example was Mrs. Cleveland , the president's wife , who had a private box. nnd was therefore completely in view of the audience. Her face was a perfect tell-tale. At first she tried to follow , but finding that she could not , blie resigned herself to watching the ges ticulation of Coquolm , which is marvelous , and studying the dresses of Hading , which are alio marvelous. Hut Hading is also au admirable actress , and in mv opinion has more real power than Sarah Hornhardt. The divine Sarah , as her admirers called her , had no conformity of strength , but wus as explo sive as dynamite. Now Hading is of the crescendo type , and goes on culminating till she reaches u very pretty height. imooKi/rx roiiMS A. itnsourncN. 1 trust that the readers of Tin ; Urn will not despisa mo because I live in Brooklyn. The fact is , half the Now York Journalists live on the other side of the big bridge be cause much larger und handsomer rooms can bu rented at a cheap rate in Long Island than on Manhattan Island , except at the extreme northern end , eight miles away from Printing House square. Hrooklyn has a population of about 850,000 , but it is the queerest burg for its size that was ever seen. In grocery and dry goods stores and estab lishments where they sell kitchen utensils , from a furn.u-e stove to iron ladles , the city is better furnished than Now York itself , but in everything else it is so completely be- h'lid that it is u curiosity. I will wager that there ate m Omaha many buildings which are much finer than anything wo havo. Out most elaborate structures are St. Aim's on the Heights , which was built twenty years ago for a frcat Episcopalian clergyman named Selicm-k , nrd the Dime Savings bank. The one is all ornament and the other so solid that it is elephantine. The church loous airy enough to fly away and the bank seems as if the earth were about to sink be neath Its weight. There are no art pailorles , no public libraries , no fountains , no squares , no statues , nothing but a really glorious park and two splendid driving boulevards. All of a sudden Brooklyn has woke up to a sen.se of its doilcioncies , and is vowing reformation like a drunkard on Now Year's day. The papers are full of schemes , which are all Kond enouch , if anybody would come forward with the money. But Brooklyn is a city of homos for poor men , and any attempt to make the contemplated improvements simply means an increase in taxation , and will bo overwhelmingly voted down. If our rich men who feel so acutely the disgrace of living ill Brooklyn would come forward but no ! They want improvements at the expense of the taxpayers. All the same , Brooklyn is a funny city , and U really what New Yorkers call it Now York's bedroom. A SKW roU.NTEKIII.AST. When Stone , of the Journal of Commerce , begins anything ho generally sticks to it until ho has conquered. He ha- , commenced to wage war against clgaretle smoking in the public streets and parks. Ho quotes the example of Boston , which he says became so Indignant at the freedom With which tobacco was burned in the streets of the Hub that all smoking in public was forbidden bv an ordinance under a penalty of a fine of { 5 to ba imposed and colluded by the nearest magistrate. Prob ably the police received half of the line , for Ihey were so diligent in arresting offenders that smoking was never seen on the streets of Boston afterwards. The Journal wants an ordinance against cigarette smoking , and as the offenders < ire persons against whom the politicians will act freely , there can belittle little doubt that Mr. Stone will triumph. Who smokes cigarettes in public. I Boys , al most entirely , street arabs , paper vendors , shoo blacks , shop boys , ofllce boys.

The manner in which the State bank of Now York Is trying to trade Its responsibility for about JITs.OOO of the quarter of a million which Bedell obtained by his forged mort gages Is so shocking to the moral sense of this none too moral community that every body is protesting against it. Bedell is in the tombs , nnd he was brought from his cell on a subpuma to testify In the suit wlni'a his employers , Slnpmiui , Barlow. Laroqiie & Choate , have brought ngalnst this bank. The linn had previously settled with all the indi viduals who had received bogus mortgages , and had received Bedell's assurances that he would testify lu their behalf. The hearing was hold in chambers , and after Bedell had been sworn by the clerk he was asked by the firm's leading lawyer whether on a certain day ho had not presented a certain chock for certilii ation.

Ho wus nevertheless committed. If the banks do not set au example of com mercial honor , who will.
