That antique curiosity from Delaware, Senator

possesses the unusual Democratic virtue of candid
honesty to a marked degree. He tenders lit trib-

A correspondent at Sta ford Springs, Connecticut
asks comparison of the growth IN wsollen manu-
facturcs under different foras Of tariff since 1880.
u that year the value of all products reported by
the census was $i3 207. 545 in 1860, the last year
of manufacture uuder las Democratic revenue tarih
the vane of products of wooll,n and worsted goods
WAS 500 ,598, 364 Thus the increase in value of
products was about $22 GOO 900 80 per cent Pro-
ductisn of worsted goods such existed at ali in
1850 was included with the production of woollen
goods After ten years Of production Ia 1870 the
value of products by the same industries was
SLY 495. 1856. an increase of more than 10 per
cent But this comparison aot strictly fair because
the prices then stated in epreciated currency
worth about 81 y cents In gold In 1880 the value
of products of this sans manufactures only was
1914, lJ6, G63, showing al increase from the gold
prices of 1860 to the gold prices of 1880 Of about
200 per cent In twenty years In addition how
ever the manufacture ofcarpes, which yielded prod
ucts only of $5,40l, 23i in 1850, and $7,s57, $3.50

Dealers in game complain bitterly of the law
which fines them if any quail, partridge or
grouse are found in their possession between
now and November 1. However wise the stat
utes against the killing of birds at this time
may be. 1t is hard to see why dealers should be
forbidden TO sell the stock remaining on
hand on the last day of January, even If it is
toward the middle of February before the last
bird is disposed of. Would it be hard to de-
eide whether game sold in February was killed
in January? We should think that no agent OF
the Game Protective Association, with keen,
cultivated nose, could be deceived On that
point.

The sduabble in the Congregational Church
in East New-York is the kind that delights the
heart of the wording Its origin is traced to
the dancing of Highland fling by the Scotch
deacon at an entertainment for the benefit OF
the church; but the bitterness was increased
yesterday by decidedly personal prayer made
by another deacon in Sunday school. The re-
suit was free fight on the steps of the church
amid weeping women and frightened children.
At a distance and to people who care little for
sacred things, such performances are simply
amusing; but to people who honor religion
these petty quarrels are painful in the extreme.
They bring discredit on Christianity, and they
disgrace the men who take part in them. 1t is
lamentable that there is not some central
authority in the association Of Congregational
Churches that can summarily enforce good
order among quarrelling members.

Some Congressman seem to lose all ability to
reason honestly where Indian interests are con-
cerned. They are at present obJectlng TO GER
tain items in the estimates for deficiencies
which have been inserted in the appropriation
bills to fulfil treaty obligations with various
tribes concerning educational facilities, made
eighteen years ago. The money could have
been expended to little purpose then. To-day
these tribes have advanced far enough IN civil
lization to be able to profit by schools. What
kind of an argument is it to say that because
money was not wasted years ago it should not
be wisely spent nowf
T Statistics concerning building operations IN
this city allow many interesting differences to
be drawn from them. For instance, higher
regard for the comfort of animals, as compared
with that of man, is shown by the fact that
while the cost of stables constantly increases,
Jess money is spent on dwellings,. Moreover,
for the last few years the erection OF high
priced houses has fallen oil, and the tendency
Is all toward the construction Of tenement

The Extra Session.

1t ls an interesting fact, and one
probably not generally recognized,
that the present special session of
the Senate is one of the longest that
was ever held. 1t is the thirty sec
ond specia. session of the Senate
since l79I, when the first one was
called. That one only lasted enc
day, as did those Of 1898 ard 1897.
In 1895, however, it lasted nine days,
and from 1897 down to 1928 the ses-
sions ranged from two to six days.
Then they grew to a greater length,
running sometimes as long as two
weeks, until 1861, when the session
stretched out TO twenty five days,
a thing unprecedented. From that
time down to 1881 there was no ses-
sion that lasted over twenty three
days. The dead lock over organiza-
tion in 1881 stretched out the session
to forty seven days, so that only in
1861 and 1881 has the special ses-
sion been extended to so long a time
as this one. The average length OF
thirty two special sessions since the
beginning, ninety four years ago,
has been trifie over eleven days.

Frank Hurd seems to be making
good progress in his contest against
Romeis for seat in the 49th Con-
gress from the Toledo district His
latest acquisition OF testimony is
that of 4. Gerstman, a Jewish Rabbi
in Cincinnati, who testifies that he
was an agent of the Republican Ma
tienal Committee in the last cam
paign and that he was sent to the
Toledo district to look after the Ger
mans and Poles, whom he found all
for Hurd. He made report to
Steve Elkins of this fact, and also
told him that $1,000 worth of "soap"
would capture them for Romeis. Ell
kins promised to send that amount
through the regular channel. AT
terwards Gerstman went up TO Tole-
do and found that they were all for
Romeis. Gerstman testified that
seventy five votes were changed in a
single precinct by the use OF money.

80! Suffering Woman!o

G. F. B. HASKELL, formerly of Ver-

stated in 1928, that his wife WAS ut

ties and did not seem to be amenable
to physicians remedies. She could
not sleep, trembled like leaf, peri
odically lost her reason. They then
began the use of Warmers SAFE Cure.

One-Legged Men i'm Congress.
Washington Correspondence.

Washington Correspondence.
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, who
was elected to take the place made
vacant by the resignation of Senator
Garland, walks about the Senate
chambe on crutches. He lost his
leg in the war, and has never been
able to wear cork leg, as most of
those who so suffered are doing. His
leg was amputatcd so close TO his
body that he is not able to fit an ar
tificial limb to it. There will be at
.east three one-legged ex Confeder-
ates in the next Congress, to say
nothing of Wade Hampton, who is
one-legged and an ex- Confederate,
but who did not lose his leg in the
war. The three in question are Sen
ator Berry, Senator Butler, OF South
Carolina, and Stone, who succeeds
Oscar Turner. A one-legged man
seems to be better runner, on the
whole, than one with two legs. Mr..
Oscar Turner on his arrival here af.
ter the beginning of the last session
of Congress, on being asked about
his successor, remarked that he was
a ene-lcgged man, an ex- Confederate.
"They tried everything in the dis
trict with two legs" he said, with
grim smile, s'and couldn't beat me.
So they tried the one-legged fellow,
and, by George, they beat me-"
This rule seems to have appliedin
the Arkansas fight. for Berry had
pretty strong opposition to over
come. There are much larger
number of wounded and crippled ex-
Confederates ameng the Congress
men than of wounded and crippled
ex-Union soldiers. There will be
round dozen Of them in the next
Congress, perhaps more. Berry will
find company in the Senate, for be-
sides Butler, who lost his right leg
at Brandy Station, there is Kenns,
who entered the service mere child
he was but seventeen when the
war closed--who was wounded in the
service. In the House there will be
Mr.. Stone, who outrun Oscar Turner;
Oates, OF Alabama, who lost his right
leg IN front Of Richmond in his
twenty seventh battle, and after be-
ing five times previously wounded;
Herbert, of Alabama, who was wound
ed at the battle of the Wilderness;
Davidson, of Florida, who was so
badly wounded in '64 as to render
him unfit for further service; Cox,
of North Carolina; Aiken, of South
Carolina, who was shot through the
lungs in '62, but served year or two
after his partial recovery; Gibson, Of
West Virginia, who was obliged to
retire from the service on account Of
wounds. Cabell, of Virginia, who
was wounded twice, and O'Ferrall,
of the same State, who received no
less than seven wounds during his
career in the Confederate service.

President Cleveland keeps very
long business hours. By 8 q. m. he
is in his office ready to receive visit
ors. From that time, with the ex-
ception of brief interval for lunch,
he is there until 6 o'clock, when he
dimes. He does not linger over his
dinner, like President Arthur, but
by half-pas seven he is back in his
office, whore he stays until
nearly midnight. He works harder
and longer than any man under the
Government, and might almost as
well be journalist.

The French Academy Of Sciences
offered a prize of 10000 francs for
the discovery of sure test Of death,
with a view to obviate the danger Of
peoples being buried alive. 1t was
awarded to physician who demon
strated that il you hold the hand of
supposed dead person to strong
light, if he is not dead scarlet
tinge will be seen where the fingers
touch; if he is dead no scarlet will
be seen. DR.. Busch, modern med
ical savant, says that on contracting
muscle by electricity its tempera-
ture will rise and be shown by sur
face thermometer if the person is
living; if it does not rise life is ex
tinct There is no need Of applying
