The Centennial struggle.
WASHINGTON, NIatch


The Cent, nniAl project received asevers repulse
to day but 1t Is not lost yet, though It cannot now
re lch the magnitude its prof ectors designed. II
was found that the Senate was very decidedly
against making it an international affair and the
proposition TO amend it in that direction was with.
drawn so as to get the vote on the necessary ap-
preparation of three millions. This was accord
ingly reached al half past In thin Ssnate, with
the following result Yeas II. OF these only
two-Bayard and Dennis-are Democrats.
Nays, 33. Ofthese thirteen are Democrats
Patterson, Mitchell, Ingalls, and Wadieigh were
for the appropriation, and pared with Hamilton,
of Maryland, Ferry, Of Connecticut. Boutwell, and
Upton, who were against 1t, or majority of tie
whole Senate, SO that part cannot be resuseitated
in a full Senate. The bill with out division,
was then sent to the Committee on Appropris-
tons where it is to remain for while On that
committee there was voting ageinsl it;-Morrilf,
chairman, Allison, Sergeant, Stevenson and Da-
vis-5; and voting for it West and Dorsey-2 and
Window absent, who is hostile to any large ap-
preparations, and Sprague, who has been seldom
here this " inter. 50 msjori.,, of the committee
are clearly hostile to it.
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENTS IN THE SENATE.
Incited by the crusade on liquor selling made
BY the women in the West, the Senate to-day
committed itself to a line of polIty 10 regulate
draw diingipg by Federal laws and passed bill
providiug for national commission to report
upon the uses and abuses of alchohoic drinks
yeas, 20; nays, n. The Delaware Senators voted
nay.
The Centennial bill IN the Senate is .aid to have
fair prospect of passing, although Senator Thur
mans argument that Congress has no power 10
take money out of the Treasury for public exhi-
billions was a very forcible one. The Transpor-
tation BILL urged and supported by this Grangers,
stands less chance Of becoming law.

TIE experisnce of two students, as related in; a
New Haven journal, is truly cruel. They ventur-
ed 10 call at the house oftwo sisters who had given
them encouragement. and were invited to the sit

sented itself The mother was reading aloud q
useful historical work, and her two daughters were
industriously sewing while listening The youths
were seated, when the reading began again, aud
was continued without any signs OF interruption.
In vain did the love-struck seek to catch the ewes

flowed on for two hours or more, when the dis
appointed and disgusted visitors made a rush for

Hard on the Gas Extor,ionists

Our neighbors of Reading, Pa, are suffering
heavy gas bills to eat out their substance The
Da,iy Eagle refers to the gas works of thai city
IS 10 monopoly" and says besides being high in
price the gas. Of poor quality. A project is on
loot TO organize q general movement OF the peo-
pie for reduction of the price Of gas, either by
The purchase Of the gas works by the city, or by
the organization of q new gas company and the
erection Of new gas works. Either Of these plans
are feasible, and one of them should be adopted
There is no reason for our people paying such
immense prices ior such poor quality Of gas,
especially at the present time, when our business
men have use TOR all their surplus funds. At
least one hotel in this city paid $500 for gas for
the last two months, and many business men
complain thet their gas bills are vastly higher
than ever before, while the poor men who own
their own homes, and have gas introduced into
them, complain bitterly of what they denounce
- the outrageous eYtortlon Of the gas company
It is certainly time Tor radical change in this
respect. The argument OF some interested par
ties, TO the effect that IL the city should purchase
the gas works no men could be found TO manage
them as successfully as at present, is nonsensica
The city Is able to manage the water works. and
Is making money by tine operation, and there are
plenty OF men In Reading able to manage the gas
works With equal success. The saving 10 the gas
consumers by such management would be i'm
mense, and II any money was made the taxpayers
would have the benefit of it. Many people con-
slider tie present price OF gas nothing less than
extortion, aud they declare their determination
not TO submit to it any longer"
All gas companies ought to be based upon the
mutual principle. If it will work well in the in
surancs of property, we cannot see why it should
not do SO in the manufacture of gas. Every gas
consumer ought to be an interested party IN the
gas mandatory that supplies his light.

THx SITUATION IN CuBA.-The decEee of the
Captain General ordering the mobilization Of the
volunteers and the enrolment OF all men capable
Of bearing arms is producing the results we an.
ticipsted. The Cubans forced to take up arms
are aocking to the insurgent standard. A cores
pondent at ManEanillo writes that numerous
deserti0ns of the Cuban volunteers have taken
place from the neghhoring camps, and the same
rebellious disposition is manifestng itself through
The island. So far from the decree OF the Cap
tain General securing peace 1t will only ian to
fercer fame the insurrection. The Cuban strug.

II will be seen that the delinquencies and
errors of 1871 exceed those of 1873, 1899 "a,
and OF 1872 $40 40. The number OF per.
sons returned delinquonts in previo us years
was also greatly in excess OF this year. This
dec resse in the amount OF delinquepts show
of course a corresponding increase In the
am cunt of taxes collected. Thus it will be
see that the new law, In regard to which
many unfavorable predictions were made,
has resulted benhcially to the public treas
ury, saved the collectors much trouble, and
settled the question a. to who are the voter 8
long before election day. 1t Is to be pre-
sumed that all who are returned delinquent
are either dead, removed from the county,
or belong to that class OF psople who take
no interest in elections. s.-DeiaWarean.

sold in this psce.$2 per basket for canning pur-
poses, amounting to $41S. The other pear and
early apples realized about $50, say for the whole
$475. This amounts to total Of &c, ,575.75. From
this deduct 81 500 for cultivation picking sorting
and hauling, and Ihad an entirely clear profit OF
$4,000 from the seventy acres, and nlne-tenths OF
the pear and apple trees were too young to bear
any fruit.
Three Of my peach trees yielded respectively
twenty -ons baskets, twenty one and half baskets
and twenty-tw baskets.
