GOING OVER THE BILL

in committee of the whole will be com
pleted tomorrow, and as the river and
harbor combination is strong enough to
carry out the wishes of the committee the
bill will probably go to the conferrees
without change. Although it is true that
the friends of the river and harbor bill
were quick to recognize that they must
stand BY the Hennepin canal and all oth>
er items or jthe bill was liable to go to
pieces. the fact is that the Hennepin canal,
as an independent proposition, has re-
ceived the votes of the majority of the
house, so that it stands in an altogether
different position from some items which
can not stand on their own merits and
that can get through congress only by
pooling the votes which each Of them
could command. The success Of the friends
of the HenDepin canal today was really re-
markable in view of the opposition they
had to meet Messrs. Henderson, Cannon,
and Murphy met nearly all the leading
men on both sides of the house and beat
them by sixteen majority.
MR.. MURPHY's FATE
is rather curious. He has been knocked
out for the next congress by his own
city of Davenport, which would be more
benefited by the Hennepin canal than any
other one, and, except Gen. Henderson,
of Illonois, Mr.. Murphy has done more
work for the canal project than any oth-
er man in the house, and today's victory
for the canal was won just two days be-
fore the meeting of the convention that
is to nominate his successor.

to be supported, not because you may
happen TO like him or admire his writ

These self-congratulatory remarks
were uttered at IL q. m. At noon a
woman with face once pretty. and

aboard at way station and occupied
the seat next to the elderly man. At

were seated side by side. At l:3O he
took her out to dinner. At 2:30 her
head rested upon his shoulder. and his

with spasmodic tendency to droop.
At 3 sharp the train stopped five min

the woman was wringing her hands in

At 81 the elderly passenger was
standing with his open pocketbook in

and placing them in the hands of his

History seems to be about 10 lose
another Of its favorite stories in the
| case Of Joan Of Arc, ~ documentary
evidence Of the strongest Kind goes to
show that the old story Of the burning
Of the maid Of Orleans is a fable.
There is proof that Joan lived in the
town Of Metz on the Goth of May, 1886.
She was then recognized by her
brother. There is record in the
archives Of Metz declaring her mar
riage 70 one Robert dez Armoises,
knight. and mentioning the birth of
two sons. After Joan was married she
was known as Dame Joan. and when
ever she came to Orleans she was
sumptuously entertained with meat
and wine at the expense of the town.
There Is record which materially
assists this proof and shows that the
town Of Orleans paid her 2lO livres
| as recOmpense for services rendered
during the siege.
1t was always difficult to believe
that a king who owed his crown TO q
mere girl could suffer her to be burnt
alive without raising his voice. 1t was
necessary that the English soldiers,
who believed her to be sorccress,
should think she was burnt, but Charles
| VII. knew it was a farce. and could,
therefore. afford to remain passive.

burned cannot be declared auth0rita-

Paying Their Way

1t is claimed that there are only four
nations of the earth that are paying
their way. Holland and Belgium just
keep things even; England manages to
make both ends meet and have little
surplus for its immense national debt;
while the United States pays its bills
and lays BY every year nearly fifty times
as much as her thrifty mother country,
although the reckless goings on of the
daughters extravagant Congressional
boys and the debts due her .boys-in-
blue draw so heavily on her purse
nowadays. Every other nation is run
ming in debt. War, with its conse-
quent withdraw of hosts Of men from
the productive pursuits, is the hydra
headed moth which eats up the reve-
nues of the European nations.
