treasury at Louisville, KY, consumed a portion
of the morning hour. No action was taken.
The House then went into committee OF the
whole-Mr Wellborn, of Texas, in the chair
on the river and harbor appropriation bill. Fair
progress was made with the bill until clause
authorizing the Secretary or War to negotiate
for the purchase of the works of the Green ard
Barren River Navigation Company, in Ken
lucky, presented an opportunity for sght over
the Monon .ahela Navigation Company to break
out afresh.
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment authorizing the Secretary of War to
also negotiate for the purchase of the works of
the Monongahela Navigation Company Both the
amendment and the original clause were vgor.
ously attacked by Mr. Hepburn; of Iowa, and
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, the latter of whom re-
garded the proposition as being for the benefit of
the owners of the coal lands along the rivers;
and defended by Mr.. Willis and Mr.. Laffoon, Of
Kentucky, and Mr.. Bayne. of Pennsylvania
Mr.. Blanchard, of Louisiana, supported both
propositions. The gentleman from Indiana Mr..
Holman] could see only the enrichment of the
owners of the coal lands, but he Mr. Blanchard
could see the millions of consumers of coal in
the valley Of the Mississippi who would be BEN
Gifted by the opening Of these rivers to free COM
merce. He raised his voice in protest against
the continuance or monopoly on these rivers,
taxing, as it did, every ton of coal needed by the
industries of the West and South. The amend
ment was agreed to-90 to 40.
Mr.. Hiscock, of New York. offered an amend
ment for the appointment of committee of
three Senators and Ave Representatives, to con-
fer with committee appointed by the New York
Legislature and with the Governor and State Of
fcers of that State, in regard to the maintenance
of the canals thereof, and ascertain if said
canals are sufficient for the requ, ements of in
terstate commerce. or If they should be enlarged,
and the cost of the enlargement. The commit
tee shall ascertain on what terms and conditions
the United States can acquire title to and turis-
diction of those canals
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, opposed the amend
ment. The gentleman from New York [Mr.
Hiscockl could not ridicule and assail the bill by
offering the amendment, and afterwards say
that his record was in favor of internal improve
ments. When the gentleman attempted to put
upon the bill an amendment which would destroy
it, he must stand by his record.
Mr.. Hiscock was willing to stand by his rec
ord. If a proposition which simply looked to
the creation of a committee to investigate mat
ter was so potential that it could defeat this BILL
he was willing to accept the consequences.
The amendment was ruled out on point OF
order
The committee then rose and the House ad-

The Draft Horses Of France.

While some people in America call all
horses imported from Fran Norman, it
is fact that there is no breed in France
called BY that name by the French
people; the name, Norman, therefore, is
purely American. The principal breeds
Of France axe known as Percherons and
Boullanais. The Percherons are the
most highly priced Of all French races,
and all Departments Of France 60 to the
Perche for stations to improve their
local breeds. The Perehelon Stud Book
Of France, published under the author
ity Of the French government, is the
only stud book of draft horses that is or
ever has been published IN France, and
now contains the pedigrees Of about
5000 animals But some importers are
Offering certificates from France, of Nor
man draft horses, that may mlslead
people who do not understand the
French language. into believing these
recoros of origin. Not one Of them
issued contains pedigree They are
furnished at the request of American
buyers by the secretary Of one Of the
French agricultural societies, who says
there is no intention Of publishing them
in stud book form, as they have no pedi-
grees and are of no value whatever. It
Is well known fact that what man
gives for a horse over from $500. to $500.
The price o. a good grade-is paid for
purity Of blood; and when the seller is
not able to give the recorded pedigree of
the animal sold, as evidence of addi-
tional value, he has no right to ask it.
With these facts before him, no intelli-
gent man will buy horse imported
from France, unless. he is recorded with
his pedigree in the Percheron Stud Book
of France.

The President Explains.

Washington correspondent quotes the
president as saying:
Ihave tried to be true to my own
pledges and the pledges of my party
We both promised to divorce the officers
of thescountry from being used for party
services. l have held to my promise,
and l mean to hold to it. I did not
propose to hold party service in the past
in the Democratic ranks as against man
On the CONTRARY it gaveshrm strong,
equitable claim to office. He had been
excluded for twenty-four years because
he was a Democratic, He should be
remembered for the same reason when
Democrat administration came into
power, provided he was a competent man
for the position to be filed. What /
understand by civil service reform, as
l am carrying it out, is that officeholders
shall be divorced from politics while
they Gil their positions under the goy-
eminent. That rule have meant to
stand by. Ny removal from Office, such
as were made were made for cause. It
would be absurd for me to undertake to
give the country my reasons in all cases,
because it would be impracticable. When
/ have removed a Republican for poitl-
cal reasons or for any other reasons, i
would aDplV the same rule to my own
party. think Republican senators
should be just enough to believe this.
They ought to appreciate that ! am
trying to do my duty. Why they should
continue to distrust do not see. They
do not come to me, either personally or
by committee, to get an understanding
Of my attitude; or to obtain explanations
on points OF action to which they object.
They stand off and question the sincerity
of my purposes.

BLOW AT Prohibition.

A Kansas Judge has announced de-
cision which if allowed to stand, will be
the severest blow yet struck at prohibit
ton, The decision is to the effect that
the State must compensate liquor men
for their confscated property. The case
which was tried before the United States
Circuit Court, and in which Judge Brewer
announced the decision over which the
anti-prohibitionists are rejoicing, was
brought by brewer whose property had
been confiscated under the prohibitory
laws of the State He is awarded $4,000
or he must be allowed to proceed in
manufacturing beer.
The decision is very important one
and one which the friends of prohibi-
ton will undoubtedly contest. By it the
property of liquor men must be paid for
if confscated by the State. Not only
breweries and distilleries but also vine
yards, it is claimed, must be paid for. If
this should become the established rul-
ing of the law, saloon keepers who are
compelled to abandon their business
may Just as reasonably claim damages
for losses sustained. Therefore, the final
decision of The Supreme Court win be
awaited with great deal of interest by
the liquor men and anxiety by the
prohibitionists

MOntana's Plea.


Delegate Toole. has prepared an in
teresting statement of the resources Of
the territory, which he will present to
the committee in his argument favoring
the bin to admit the territory into the
union. Toole's argument closes as fol.
lows: "It commits the state fully and

of public free schools, opens the school
doors Internationally to the admission
of all between the ages of 5 and 81 years
three months school to the minimum
allowed to any school district in the

lands is most carefully provided for, the
grand object being to secure the utmost
