THE prospects for the passage of the
~postofice appropriation bill, with the
clause added by the senate giving a
subsidy of 100000 to American
steamships for carrying mails is not
likely to get through the house. Mr.,
Blount, of Georgia, chairman of the
~postofice committee, has made a clear
record in the house for several terms
as an enemy to subsidies and jobs Of
all kinds, and while the pOstOfice bill
was under consideration in the house
some weeks ago he announced his firm
belief that the present house of repre-
sentatives would not approve of sub
sidizing steamship lines, or permit itself
! to be bulldozed into %consenting to leg
islation of that kind through fear of a
failure in the passage of the appropri-
alton bill. This sentiment was received
with general applause on the Demo
cratic side Of the chamber. Mr.. Blount
has not changed his mind since that
date. In fact. the form in which the
senate has this time proposed the
subsidy has made it more odious
to the Democratic representatives. The
present form of the subsidy provision
is regarded as an attempt on the part
of a Republican senate to force a
Democratic administration and house
of representatives to carry out a policy
that both condemn. The chairman Of
the postal committee will have the
support of the most prominent and
influential Democratic representatives,
Holman, Morrison, Randall, Reagan.
Crisp and Dockery are among the anti
subsidy Democrats, and there has thus
far been no evidence of detection
among the Democrats except on the
part of Findlay, of Baltimore, whose
city has a contingent interest in the

SAN JONES IN BALTIMORE.

Sam Jones has created a stir among
the clergy and society people of
Baltimore by his vigorous attacks on
progressive euchre parties. His
furious attacks on lady church mem
hers who play progressive euchre and
attend charity balls has aroused the
ire of society folks. In n of his
sermons he declared that a grand
jury who would indict gamblers and
allow euchre players to go free, would
forswear itself, as all progressive
euchre players were blacklegs and on
the road to hell, but when he emphati-
cally declared that he would rather 60
to hell than nowhere, he caused a
sensation in his congregation. So
offensive has become his preaching
that many ladies decline to go to hear
him, and he has also offended many
prominent clergymen of the city. A
genuine sensation, however, was
created on Saturday by the publication
of the following card by Rev. w.
Kirkus, a leading Protestant Episcopal
clergyman:
81 think it time to protest against
the gross and insolent abuse which
these gentlemen have thought proper,
in the presence of thousands of people,
to offer to a very large number of our
Baltimore citizens; and when it is pub
licly asserted that all those ladies who
took part in the Kirmes or in the char
ity ball, oil who play whist with their
tired husbands, or take part in pro-
gressive eucher or dance are 'hugging
to music are emissaries of the devil
are helping their husbands and fami-
lies to hell, | think it time to ask who
gave to the people who make these
charges the right to sit in
the judgment seat of the
eternal and condemn to
hell-ire hundreds of the purest, most
noble. most self-sacriicing women on
the face of the earth. We are not &C.
customed here in Baltimore to hear
the ladies of Baltimore condemned for
gross vice without sccusers or trial or
jury by a couple of irresponsible people
who know nothing about them. AS
one of the clergy of Baltimore, l beg
to say that these ladies so ruthlessly
~slandered are our personal friends, are
of sportless reputation, are among our
best workers, are welcomed by US to
the holy eucharist, and are at the very
least as far above suspicion of impu.
rity and ungodliness as the men who
so wickedly and insolently abuse
them"

A Lucky PrnspcctOr.

A Carson, Nevada, correspondent
writes to the Sacramento Bee rs fol-
lows: last winter aud spring there
resided in Carson a prospector named
I. j. Bradley. When lie came here
he had some money. and he spent it
lavishly. He owned n mino near Haw-
thorne. E.mcralda county, and when
his money was gone he went out to do
his annual assessment work. Hu gave
to Messrs. Knapp & Laws and john
Forbes. of Hawthorne, 500 feet of the
$500 feet which constituted the mino,
for q grub stake" In a short time
he uncovered a very rich ledge. Last
Tuesday H. NJ. Yerington, super1n-
tendent of the Virginia and Truckee
and Carson and Colorado. visited the
mine, and gave him $4,000 for 800
feet, and the next day Archie Faring-
ton. the principal owner of tho rich
and productive mines vi Garfield. gave
him $4,000 for the remaining 600 feet.
Several experts have visited the prop
erty. and they all pronounce it the
richest gold discovery ever made in
Nevada.
An old resident of Esmeralda county
tells me that in u little more than six
years Bradley has sold mines in that
county for various sums aggregating
$500 Ho is really one OF the lucki.
est prospectors in the world. All that
he has to do, apparently, when he gets
broke is to go out into the hills and
strike II mine that brings him from
$1,000 to $4,000. According to his
informant, he differs somewhat from
the general run Of pr%ospectors, in that
he possesses q little bit of irugality. 1t
is said that whenever ho sells u mine
he sends the bulk of his money to his
mother in ireland, holding out a thous-
and or SO for a big time with the boys.
He paints everything in sight red until
his purse is empty, and then ho runs in
debt for as much more rs he pleascs.
When he thinks it is time to brace up
he shoulders his prospecting tools aud
starts out in the mountains, aud moth.
ing more is heard of him until he has
q valuable mine.
