Suffering Kaftsmen,

From the best information attainable
Upper East Tennessee raftsmen are the
heaviest sufferers from the recent flood.
The Times takes such a flattering view of
the situation that nothing reliable can be
obtained from its columns in regard to
these ruined workmen, but from private
sources and persons who witnessed their
loss in Chattanooga 1t is immense. 1t
seems that when the water first COM
menced to rise the raftsmen left their
homes in the mountains of upper East
Tennessee with RATS they had been six
months preparing. BY the time they got
TO Chattanooga the Tennessee river was
all over the country and the lumber deal
ers could not buy their lumber because
they could not securely keep it until the
waters went down.
The raftsmen tied UP their RATS along
as best they could bu'1he swelling river
broke< ~ Sioose .naa.most alR am,
amounting to many thousand logs,
foated down Tennessee river, leaving
hundreds of poor men in Chattanooga
scarcely able to get back home and the
fruits of a half years work completely
gone. There are the men who need
sympathy. -Clereland Banner.

Troy, N. Y, April 12.-About half of
the boys in the Eleventh ward schools
struck for shorter hours this afternoon
and refused to continue their studies.
They demanded only one session a day
and that to be from s o'clock until 1
o'clock p. m. The boys held IN open air
mass meeting, and then procuring laths
and sticks swarmed through the neigh
boring streets threatening violence to
pupils who did not join them. A reserve
from one police station was sent to the
scene to give whatever protection was
necessary. The strikers tried to induce
the boys in another school to follow their
example.

APRIL 10.-In the Senate petitions were
presented from assemblies Of the Knights
OF Labor. praying for the passage Of the
Arbitration bill. The bill for the admis-
sion Of Washington Territory as a State
was passed-yeas 80, nays IL. The Sen
ate adjourned until Monday.
In the House o number OF bills for the
construction Of bridges and the re-estab-
lishment OF lighthouses were passed, and
at 5:i5 p. m. the House adjourned until
Monday.
His apparent triumphs over recent
criticisms upon his prayers has manifest
ly encouraged the Chaplain of the House
of Representatives to emphasize those
features Of them which were so widely
found Objectionable. There is clearly no
way of shutting him off, and yet as the
matter stands every prayer of this extra
ordinary person is an acute offcnse against
the feeling for propriety which most PEG.
pie who are not savages entertain when
religious observances are in question. He
has now got beyond addressing the AL
mighty for the purpose of referring to
the special evils of theday merely, and is
using these topics, become commonplace
in his hands, as a basis for decorative
treatment with cheap rhetoric, such as
references to 'the snake wreathed portals
of delirium tremens," etc. Accordingly,
it seems as if the most feasible way of
stopping further scandal would be such
a change in the procedure of the House
as would enable the Chaplain to address
the members formally and directly IN
their spiritual concerns for a specified
time every day, instead of doing so in
the present roundabout way, which de-
feats the main purposes of the opening
prayer of a public body. This, we take
it, is to secure decency and decorum by
associating the session at the outset with
solemnity, and not to provide opportunity
for stump speeches on morals. If these
can't be avoided, why not, at least, have
them properly Observation-Disclosures

Six months ago we had no demand for
