prise of the Board. The members con-
cluded that the agitation of the convict
labor question had intimidated contractors
to such an extent as to cause convict labor
to be placed at a discount. The authorities
are in quandary as to what to do with
the men. 1t is thought the convict labor
question will be submitted to vote of the
people of Illinois at the next election, and
that it will be abolished in that State.

CONGRESS-.

Last Monday being the anniversary OF
Washington's birthday, neither house of
Congress was in session. The Blair Edu-
cational bill remains the unfinished work of
the Senate. If it should be disposed of be-
fore the end of the week, Senator Hoar will
try to secure the right of way for the bank
ruptcy bill, and Senator Platt will make an
effort in behalf of the Washington Territory
bill. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, spoke
on Tuesday upon the Chinese question.
The House of Representatives will prob
ably devote the entire week to the consider
aration of appropriation bills. The imme-
diate deficiency bill was reported on Tues
day. The pension and Indian appropria-
tion bills now on the Calendar will probably
be taken up in the order named. During
the morning hours it is expected that the
Hennepin Canal bill will be called up and
discussed. The debate on this measure will,
without doubt, wholly consume the two
hours allowed for discussion under the rules
and the bill will then take its place on the
House Calendar as unfinished business. If
the committee on Pacific railway is reached
in the morning hour call, it will call up the
bill relative to the compulsory survey and
patenting of lands granted the Pacific Rail.
road Company.
The various appropriation bills are rapid
ly approaching completion in committee,
and it is probable that the military acade-
my, army, the consular and diplomatic and
post office appropriation bills will be re-
ported to the House during the week and
placed on the Calendar.

DIRECT FROM BRAZIL.-Charleston is
feeling good over the success attending the
renewal of direct trade between that city
and Brazil. The first importation consists
of 1902 bags of coffee of the grades most in
favor in this market. The people see no rea-
son why "Charleston should not attract to
itself the commerce of South America
which has so long drifted by its ocean gates. J"
An important beginning has certainly been
made and if followed up will undoubtedly
lead to great results in the future.

THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE FERGUSON

that the lawyers for the defence in the Fer

abusing the newspapers. This is varia-

some hundreds of pounds of him-and the
newspapers were not there.
But it is all right. The attorneys for
Ferguson and proprietors Of the grand and

TIE NEW DEAL MovEMENT.--Those
who are opposing the "neW deal move

State officers, are themselves doing these
officers an injustice. A change would be in
no sense a reflection on the present incum-
bents, and would not imply that they had
not done their duty, then when the change
does come-as it surely wll-some may
conclude that they did not do their duty,
and were therefore turned out. We do not
know that the present state officers want a
third term.-NewbeTy Observer.

A Pointer Coz New York Tailor..

Young James Blank, whose father il
among the millionaires, lounged into a
tailor shop some weeks ago and ordered
suit of clothes. The suit was sent to
the young mans hotel, but of course the
tailor got no money for it. A few day
ago as Master James was passing by the
tailor shop the bland proprietor hailed
him with smile.
"Why, Master James," he said, shat
coat is horribly wrinkled, come in and
we will press it for you" Unsuspect-
ingly he entered and surrendered the
coat. Then something was wrong with
the vest, and that too was taken down
stairs for treatment. The tailor next de-
clared that the trousers might be i'm
proved upon. They were given up and
the youth accommodated with a seat in
the dressing room.
@Now," said the willy tailor, you will
have to send messenger boy to your
room for your other clothes, for l an
afraid we can not let you have this suit
again unless you lquidate the bill il
full"
Young Master James begged hard fol
his clothes, but the tailor was memorable
and much to his disgust he resumed his
winter garments, and departed. -Sar

Wanted to Get Rich suddenly.

What has become of the lemonade
vendors is a question am often asked.
Well, here is what brought about the
end of that once fourishing little trade.
A few years ago on all the prominent
downtown street corners there was to be
seen from May to October, a lemonade
peddler. These men were largely patron
lied and made money. have known
of men who made as high as 800 per
month right along through the summer,
but they, like other men, wanted to get
rich suddenly, or as rapidly as possible.
The continued use of the pure lemons
would not permit this. They then tried
new dodge, the use of acids, instead of
fruit. This worked along nicely for a
time, but the public began to realize the
change, andquietly quit buying lemonade
on the streets, and the peddler found his
vocation gone.-Peddler in Globe Demo
