The demand for female teachers in
English schools is said to be greater
than the supply. The attractions of
matrimony and the depressing effect OF
rigid examinations are given as the two
chef causes of the dearth in England,
but as both matrimonial opportunities
and rigid examinations are to be found
on either side of the water, it is prob
ably more correct to say that the Amer
lean abundance of applicants is due to
the greater prevalence among the
young women of this country of a de-
termination to seek their own livelihood
Independently and to make a career for
themselves

In four years the railroad directors of
the country are believed to have
pumped $20O,000,00 of water into
their stock. Although the real cost of
building railways has continued to di-
minish, the price to investors has in
creased s., 446 per mile of road. This
increase was in addition to an already
enormously inflated capital. Whereas
the building of roads could not have
cost over $4,000 the shareholders
paid, or were supposed to pay, $4,000
per mile.

A COWBOYS REVOLVER.
liz Reckless Use May Cause an Indian
Outbreak.

Helena, Mont, March 22.-A dare
devll of n cowboy by the name o Saw
ney Toliferro exhibited his nlarksman-
slip few days ago at Took d Alder
sons ranch $50 miles from Rosebud,
by drawing hls six-sbooter aud
blazing away with the intent of shoot
ing n hole through The hat of the in
offensive Cheyenne Indian, but un-
fortunately the bullet grazed the scalp
of the warrior, making an ugly
wound. The Indian arose and
crewled awny TO where his compan
ions Were, and ten of them re-
turned TO the house where "Sawneyn
was supposed 10 bo TO revenge the out
rage upon one of their tribe. In the
meantime the cowboy had disap-
peared and the Indians set fire 10 tie
house and premises, including
the corrals and stables, doing
damage OF about 5000 The
Indians are n peaceable lot and have
selected farms and are mostly follow
ing the pursuits Of agriculture. This
wanion piece of deviftry on tho part
of the cowboy will surely DO avenged
upon himself If he stays ia that couin-
Try, and the result Of his exploit may
involve war between the neighbor-
hood and the Indians.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
THE MORRISON TARIFF BILL

III h MOlNklEON IAhlGF Bllsis.
Washington, ID. C., March 26.-Onc
hundred and eighty-five members al
tended the Democratic caucus last
night. Morrison offered n resolution
Hedging the party to tariff reform, in
stead of offering his bill. This was OBJ
ieeted to. The Morrison men then
made other propositions, without ap.
parent result. The Randall men are
reported to be very aggressive, and do.
ing the talking. The proceedings
were stormy. Toombs telegraphed to
Carlisle to stick TO his programme
Carlisle made stalwart speech
calling upon Democrats to get
on the side of party lines.
This speech is reported as being more
radical than Watterson's recent mani
festo. After remaining in session
over four hours, the caucus, by a vote
of ia to 81, Endorsed the Morrison bill,
adding thereto proposition to remove
all taxes from tobacco and fruit liquors.
The action of the caucus Is not TO be
considered ss binding. The party
line was not drawn, and it Is under
stood that 10 will not be drawn. Sew
eral members who voted against the
Endorsement of the Morrison bill say
they will vote for the bill
with specified amendments, but
it is conddentially asserted that forty
Democrats will vote with the Repub.
Leans against the bill when it comes
up. The bill will hardly be brought
up before next week, and there Is little
of its passage.
