THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS. The Complexion and Pcbable Attitude of the Houe. (From the Battimore Sun.) The 5th of Dccember, the date :n which the Fittieth Congress will begi' its labors, is already near at ban. Within the short spac of three wee: the members of the Nati_::i Legislature will have assembled at Washington and have taken steps of prrpa ation for tare work of a long s-ssion. Both houses of the Fiftieth Coigress will be of the same political co:ion a' s in the Forty ninth, but with a d:rn.sic :i:oi for the party dominant in each. That is to say, the Senate will continue lepub lican a amajority of .ti as aganst a majority of u the I'ty-ninth Congress, while the House wil be Dem ocratic by a maioritv of 3 i the Forty ninth Congress. Th Iac that the coming session prec. aes immediately a Presidential election eds extraorinarv interest to its work, discourages the ex pectation that much useful legislation will be accomplished. TI'e Senate and House, unless past experience is mis leading, will be at cross purooses, each trying to kill important measars origi nated by the other fro:m which party capital can be made, or vying with each other in the passage of extravagant bills of a demagogical eiaracter. The great measm e of the session will be an Act to reduce taxes, The attitude to be assumed toward this n.essary and inevitable measure by the parties respon sible for the control respectively of the House and the Senate is a question upon which an early decision will have to be made. The Republican Senate will, we may assume, continue to favor the reten tion of the existing tariff taxes. If there is to be a reduction of taxation the Sn ate will favor the abolition of the inter nal taxes on beer, whiskey and tobacco. Until such a measure of tax reduction can be secured it will continue to cali patriotically for big appropriations for pensions, subsidies, forts and big guns, proposing to obviate tlie accumulation of a dangerous surplus in the treasury by distributing the expenditure of mam moth sums over a series of years. The Senate knows its mind, and will act in . the interest of the protectionists in any event, whether by obstructing and mu tilating a tariff reform bill coming from the House, or by originating a fallacious tax reduction bill of its own. - The House, unfortunately, is less de cided. The Democratic majority is divided upon the issue of tax reform. There is a small and obstinate faction of the Democratic members, under Mr. Randall's leadership, who favor the Re publican policy of protection. In con junction with the Repubiicans they are sufficiently numerous, it appears, if true to Mr. Randall, to defeat any plan of tax reduction the majority of the Demo crierepresentation may propose. They are not sufficiently numerous or devoted -to Mr. Randall, it is said, to defeat Mr. .iarlisle's re-election to the Speakership, in the absence of corresponding de from the Republicans of the they hold the balance of power ds all fiscal questions. Democratic plan for the reduction owes will most probably be as follows: Toabolish altogether the internal tax on tobacco; to remove, if practicable, the tax on fruit brandies; to put the raw materials of manufacturers on the free list, and, finally, to reduce the tax on imported articles, consumed in a large mesnure by the poor. Mr. dall's plan is simpler: To fboiiteinternal taxes on beer and wleyas well as tobacco, and, if this -'efrects too large a reduction of the Gov emnent's income, to restore it by m creasin the tariff taxes on articles, such astin plate, that are trxed no wbelow the average rate. Mr. Rtandail's scheme is so clearly imp.racticable and unwise that tariff reforners cherisih the hope that -their more reasornable measure will, in the end win enough Randallite and R~e i'pbican votes to insure its passage. Onepassed by the House, a bill so ~-popular with the masses will hardly, .it as thought, be wholly rejected in the aniata withina few mo~nths of a Presi 'dntial election. Apart from tariff reform the measures mostblikely to try thre virtue of Congress - men duripg the coming session are en tavagant pension bills. The excesses at ~St.Louis of Grand Army pension hunt ~ers,.uim1argely strengthened the feel -ingvs aainst such bills, and President Cleveland.may be trusted to veto bills d for buncombe. The Canadian hrinquestion will, no doubt, obtain 'a large share of attention, in case the ammwisnn sitting at Washington is able to negotiate a suitable treaty. The Presdent will probably be roughly handled by Senator Frye, for not using h is powers to prohibit commercial inter course with our Northern neighbor, bt the progress of events has minimized the fisheries issue, and everybody is now aware that it is not worth going to war about. The failure of the river and harbor bill at the last sesion of the Forty-ninth Congress imposes on the Fiftieth the necessity of providing liber ally for the needs of the coming fiscal year. _________ A Fated Ship. The superstition of sailors is pro verbial. A cablegram from Gibraltar to the Picayune brings information which most strongly confirms the force of this superstition of the sea and how its fore bodings of evil were realized. Last July there was lying at the wharf at the head of Spain street, in this city, the Austrian bark Lussignano. She brought a cargo of Italian marble. Mr. Vincenzo Buja was the stevedore who engaged to discharge her freight, and on July 12, while he was engaged aloft in rigging some hoisting gear, he fell to the deck, a distance of forty feet, and was killed. Finally, when the vessel was un loaded, she too~k on board a cargo of cotton seed oil for Genoa, where it was to be converiedinto pure olive oil. When the ship wais ready to sail the crew deserted in a body, declaring that having brought over a cargo of tomb stones whi::h had already caused the death of a man, the vessel had come under evil influences, which would cause her destruction. A ne-w crew was en gaged an'd the bark sailed from this port on August 1-2. Now, the telegraph brings the news that she was burnt at see, her cresv having bzen rescued by the bark ~Gaspare and brought into Gibraltar on October 2. Whether the evil omens which the ignorant- sailors had professed to reezgnize had any sig nificance or not, the vessel at any rate met the destruction to which she had been doomed, to the satisfaction of the superstitions at lest.-Ne Orleans Picayune.

Ti u N IN DOM:STXC SEW'.ANTS. ,- sie.;" Develcpinr for Woen t' p verk--The Docmestic Problem :td t ! :in--Gtnodt Servants Needed. .% 11. in .vann: h New w on:. November 17.-There is: S usiuCs for women whichw is j t . to'n ~thold in New York. it is that of teaauer of domestic servants. She of the ki:chin has so far repented of her deilciencies or become so far aware of the better pay and better househol' po4:iins to be secured by remedying them, that it has become au oceuattion: which already suemorts a umuer o carable women of some .eecutive ability to ' albout from house to house, and 1:. t: kitchens of the ini::resses or in t girls house, or in rooms especially tted up for that purpose. to give praet'c:t. le'on in cookery and uter housiuhh: ~ Giris who have nut come ier e i. form Ut instruction, in cases where they can raise the money to pay for it. are beginning to go to the hotel chefs and pick up culinary wrinkles, from them. There is no doubt tat a certain propor tion of the more intelligent of the ki.ch Cn iuees l:ave thoroughly waked up to the fact that a better order otr ete service is called for and will be paid fo if obtained. I called upon Miss Juliet Corsoi, th11 pioneer of the cooking schools, in her rrcoms at the Continental Hot.l. yester day, to inquire into the truth of tue re port of a training school for the servants on a large scale to be established in New York under the auspices of Secretary 'Whitney's wife. Miss Corson is not in gocd health and has many ingenious contiivances for carrying on her literary ;iok without rising from her couch ": whieh eo spends much of her time. ".t is not true," she said, "that any a.nnite arrangements have been made, or ti!at Mrs. Whitney has been in com uni s' tion with me at all upon the sub jec?. do not know of anything defilnite Senough to be called a plan on foot in the 1 cit . At the same time things are ripe for just such a project, if money enough could be raised to start it on such a scale as to give it any real influence in the city and if the thing were in the hands of responsible people practical enough to know just what to do." "If such a school were established," 1 asked, "does your experience lead you to believe that the right kind of girls would go into it? Is not the position of do mestic servant held in such disrepute that it would be hard to find the intelli gent and self-respecting girl who ought ta have charge of the domestic economy of the kitchen, who would care to tit her self for any such place as a profession?" 'that trouble would have been felt a few vears ago," Miss Corson said, "and has interferred with some attempt of tie sort, but things are beginning to be different now. Anarchy in the kitchen has produced such a weeping and wail ing throughout the land that it has pen errated the ears of servantdom, and the girls thenselves know that it is to the intert of their pocket books ta do bet ter." "Would American girls go into a Straning school for servants?" I asked. "Not many, probably. Some would be glatd of a chance to fit themselves for as supervising or working htsei* cpers, places which pay better t:2 y any things which well educated i an ieligent women do." "It w' nd surprise you to know," Miss c i;a went on, "how many girls there are wo are only waiting for a chance to ' ta"g". I have come across numbers ofthe ho are ready to give their time and it eirnmoney to learn how' to perform their duties better, not from any prick' igocoueie~nce, but because they know it gda pay them in the end. The c onKunt agiztaon of the subject' has produced that much effect at least." The domestic problem is a perplexing one, and there have been div'ers attempts ~at a solutioni in New Turk. Several at tempts at systematic training of serv'auts have been made, one of the most notable dating from 1873, when a cooking school and industrial training establishment the outgrowth of the financial pani which drove many women to depend on the nselves for bread and butter-was established and did good work for some time. A similar institution ~was opened in 1878, but fell through largely because many of the girls admitted were too young to take positions in fauir-es. The industrial educa tion association, in which Miss Grace H. Dodge, the school comn sioner, is so largely mnterested, has cook ing elasses, of which Miss Alice Burns is pancipal, but the pupils are for the most par: school children, and the same is the case with the New York Cooking School in Lafayette place. A start has been mad~e by the board of education toward introducing cooking as a study in the gils~' grammar schools, but the arrange mnt is not likely to go into practical operation f or some time. In point of fact, the "lately landed" just set ashore at Castle Garden has few places open to her in which she could preside over the family digestion if lhe wished. All at tempts to precipitate a domestic revolu tion in the right direction, toward effiiener in the kitchen', in New York. are hindfered by that dikttan"te charity which leaas women with money and social ambition to get their names placed upon "boards" of allsorts, philanthropic and semi-phiinnthropic, more with the idea of seeing themselves in good com pany than with that of being any help. There are not far from 50,000 domestic servants in and about New York. There is no branch of woman's industry that is more overcrowded. The intelligence offices are full and an advertisement will ovrrun you with dozens of applicants. There is no panacea for the evils of low wages and long hours among working women that is more absolutely devoid of commoL sense, in the city at least, than the adece to the horde of factory girls and shop girls to enter domestie service. Tey- are no better trained for it than the army already in it, and to flood us with more inefficient servants, when the business aff:>rds no adequate means for raising the standara of those now en gaged, would be as prodigious a blunder as was ever devised. The cry is for good sevants, not for more servants, and there-can he good servants only as women cutvate the nractical scnse and the large mindedness which wili make their kitchens p~laces tha~t ambitious, intelli gent you::g women will voluntarily wik ini.

'IE COTTON SITUATION. A I'redlceiona that te Price of Staple it Destined to go Higher. - The velue of the bureau's and Cotton iWori's reports consists in the fact that the- were ma. up from the statements of a large number of correspondents, in all parts of the cotton region, specially selected wcr their intelligence and general disinter Ssesiness. At least the bureau is supposed net to have any sympathy with the turns of the mtarket. and its estimates arc based on a the best iaformation of a conservative cieracter that can well be devised. Former estim:ates have been found to approximate the actual yield so satisfactory that no good reaotn can row be assigned why present ilgures should not be accepted with a proper dgree of faith. as past experience would seemt to justify. At present writing, the price of midland uplands is 10j cents, a de cline from the highest quotation since the .:e::ral advance, and the feeling is com u tay shared that prices are high enough, and were they to advance more, or even to retain their present status, the consumptive demland would be checked, while if a low basis is sustained the wants of spinners in this country and in Europe will be as great as heretofore reckoned upon. There are many. however, with whom we are inclined to agree. that believe that prices are surely detmined to go higher, even with an Ameri C:: cr.1 uf six and three-quarter million bales, o1 t basis of only a slirht excess over last yc.ir's consumption, owing to short crop r: sicets elsewhere in the world.
