DEMOCRATIC IsHARnosIousNEss
Sad Failure OF Mr.. Edward Cooper
to Reconcile the Tariff
antagonists.

It's well-known fact that, owing
to the Democratic dissenslons here
during the rast winter growing out of
the tariff fight. only a few of the lead
ing Democrats OF the House are on
speaking terms. Cox and Dorsheim-
er do not speak. Hewett and Randall
do not speak, Randall and Morrison
have not been on speaking terms,
Hurd and Randall do not even noo as
they pass by. Belmont and Hewitt do
not speak. and so on to the end.
Last week Mr.. Edward Cooper came
over here to see what he could do IN
the way Of reconcilng the representa-.
tives Of the faction, with view also to
bringing about an agreement of some
sort of tariff reform measure. He
gave nice dinner party, and to his
credit as a peacemaker be it said, he
brought several of the implacable
leaders together. 1t was finally agreed
IN Mr.. Cooper's behalf, that a confer
ence should be held between Mr.. Ran
dali and MIR. Morrison Tor the purpose
of arranging sort of compromise
tariff measure. With some reluctance
Mr.. Morrison visited the room where
Mr.. Randall was in waiting. 1t was
presumed that the conference would
last several hours, but to the surprise
ofeverybody Mr.. Morrison returned
in abont FIVE minutes. His report was
that as soon as he entered the room
Mr.. Randall said to him: II wish tc
understand, Mr.. Morrison, that this in
tervlew is not OF my seeking, / am per-
fectly satisfied with my position in the
tariff question" To which Mr.. Morri-
son replied :"I wish you to understand
Mr.. Randall. that did not seek this
interview. lam perfectly well satisfied
with my position and my record on
the tariff question" Whereupon the
great leaders looked at each other for
a moment and Mr.. Morrison withdrew.
Thus ended heroic effort to uarmon-
ize the democrats ofthe House.-M
y Wo,la, (Dem.)

The Name that can be spoken Louder
Than Any Other.
(for The Weekly Graphic !

The streets were crowded, young
and old were pressing their way. There
appeared 70 be more than the usual
number in the streets that afternoon.
The fire bell sounded and then the ex-
eitement begar. People fled from the
crossings to the side walks FOR safety.
the street cars halted, heavy transfer
wagons, farmers teams and carriages
drew into the alleys and cross streets
out of the way. Coming down the
street were the firemen on the hose
carts, driving their horses at full speed
determined to be the first at the fire.
Now just before these firemen passed
We heard voice which sounded
above the noise and din caused BY the
excitement. 1t was the voice of boy
calling at the top ofhis voice. "Hold
on. stop lady! mother.n Then we
saw the boy catch hold Of an elderly
lady who had started across the street;
ne stops her and leads her to the side
walk, a place OF safety. The lady
look at the rushing horses and said !:
"thank you, my little man you have
perhaps saved my life l am deaf and
could not hear them coming" The
fireman had passed, and the street cars
resumed their course. The boy starts
up the street, when his companion
asks "Was that lady relative of
yours 2"
"No."
"What did you call her mother for,
then.?"
ooh l can speak that name founder
than any other"
The boy was right. for that name
sounds louder when spoken than any
other, as many soldier can testify.
They have heard that name above the
roar of musketry. and cannon, when
spoken only by the feeble voice CT
some cying soldier, on the field of bat
tie, simply lisping the sweet name
mother as his breath goes out forever.
The name was caught up and passed
along the ranks and found home in
every heart. Even the worst of repro
bates love 10 hear the name, and they
have warm heart to receive it. Many
ofyour readers, remember the bandit
who was followed from St. Joseph.
Mo-, by the vigilantes, away out into
Colorado, and in one of those deep
canyons, wild lonely spot a place Of
seclusion sought only by those fleeing
from justice. In one of these hiding
places this criminal was shot by his
pursuers, and when dying he called.fol
his mother. This highwayman re-
membered the name of 'mother" anc

dead repeating the sweet name o
mother to his captors and the world.

American Fiction.

About year ago some of our cor
respondents deplored the fact thai
there were SO few American Novels
which gave rise to an editorial In thi.
journal and many sharp retorts from
other correspondents. If good die

The number of excellent American
novels produced within the last year is
certainly greater than we have noticed
before. What is better all seem to
find a ready and growing sale. We
can only meneion few of the most
popular which we call to mind at pres.
emit; Roe's Somb,s Ri0aks; Harte's
Ca,qaines Woods; Musick's Bankers
Of Bedford; Lathrop's Newport; Town
sends Entailed Hat; B,I,fling 7Aoyns;
.Siratford BY the Sea: Il Latter Day
Sam; Tile Pagans and Esther.
These seem to almost cover the great
field of American fiction. In his
.SOmbre RiUak we have stirring war
scenes. In the CayquineS Woods we
have wild western life I; in Tile Bankers
Of Bedford we not only have western
society as 1t is, but scenes ike the late
Wall street panic In miniature. There
are the follies of American society in
Weagborf, and truthful picture of
slavery days in Tile Entai2ed Hat.
while in the Bread Winners almost the
entire field is covered. We do not
include Bethesda or Mr.. Crawfords'
book, as neither is strictly American.
Mr.. Powells We hardly need mention
for he is conceded to occupy the high
est place in American Fiction. His
Modern Instance IS thoroughly Ameri-
can. Within the last year America has
not only received many good stories
from her established American authors
Harte, Roe Townsend, Howells and
Others, but we have developed F
Marion Crawford. A. S. Hardy, John

Others, from whom we may expect
much in the future. We think that
henceforth there need be no complaint

vermont farmer, who rolled his cut
potatoes in fine sulphur at planting and
busted the plants as they appeared

Neither rot worm nor insect touched
them. though potatoes on neighborlng
farms were badly damaged. His pota-
toes were excellent.and the crop yielded
well. There is no doubt that sulphur
will assist materially in preventing
fungus growth in other plants as well as
potatoes, and it would be good idea
for farmers to give it a trial for such
purposes 1t has been found that on

bag down over its head. He then
clasped the bird around the body. Al
though now blinded and pinioned and
douhly crippled, the eagle was still
unconqueres.
As Williams stood with his arms
around the great body of the bird en-
deov3rlng to secure the mouth of the
bag around its legs. the eagle sudden
~ sprang against him, and strlSlng
him IN the breast with its one free
talon, with one fierce, downward
stroke ripped the clothing from him
and tore the skin from the flesh in
long strip clear to the waist Will
hams quickly released the bird and
made haste to reach his house, sup
posing that he was terribly injured.
Two men who were threshing buck
wheat for him were then informed of
tho presence of the eagle in the
woods, and they went to the spot and
succeeded In overpowering it. 1t was
brought to Williams and tied to a
post IN the barn, the trap being re
moved from its leg. The eagle will
measure at least eight feet from tip ID
tip of Its wings, and stands nearly 4
feet high. These birds still nest ia
the wild and rocky elevations in this
region, where it is barely possible for
human beings to gain excess. They
frequently visit the sheep pastures of
the farms in the neighberhoods and
the poultry-yards. In defending her
chickens against one of the bold ma
rauders one day last summer, not far
from the Williams farm, Mrs. Jane
Urban was compelled to fight it for
nearly an hour, during which time it
tore her clothing from her and LAGER
ated her flesh terribly with its beak
and talons. She finally killed it with
a fence rail
