LATE news from Washington is to the
effect that the Republican Senate is
embarrassed over having to vote on the
Mills bill and that to conciliate the
Democratic House it is framing a
tariff bill that will be enough of COM
promise to force the issue again in the
House. 1t is further asserted that
Cleveland viii reconyene Congress if the
Senate does not pass the Mills bill, or
some similar measure, on the ground
that the surplus is an emergency de-
handing such an action. 1t may be
all right but it smacks more of Demo
cratic scare to force on the country the
importance of tariff reduction, than any
thing else. The Mills bill or any other
measure tending to free trade is not
according to Republican principles, and
the Senate should not pass it, nor does
it seem likely the Senate would be
scared into any compromise by threat
of Congress being reconvened. Cleve-
land knows well enough the country
would not tolerate actions of that sort.
Democratic members would be glad
to draw extra pay and mileage
and any excuse would do to further that
object. The Senate will stand true to
its colors and the circus may begin rs
soon rs the administration sees fit. Its
day is drawing rapidly to a close and
the country rather expects little dis
play of genuine assininity.

An officer of Western railroad is in
favor of maintaining high rates of speed
in railroad travel. He says accidents
come no more frequently at fifty miles
an hour than at ten miles an hour. He
admits that the smash-ups are worse
when they do occur to swift trains, but
he is rather inclined to think the best
way to avoid them is to run fast. He
explains it in this way: "When a train
is fiying,n he says, '.you will notice
the engineer and fireman are very alert
and wide awake. Their every sense is
keyed to extraordinary alertness.
When tram is crawling the contrary
is true The men in the cab are curled
up and are so drowsy that when they
pull the bell the clapper seems to stick
to it, and when they whistle the sound
is slow and dreamy

One of the rare curiosities to be seen
on the streets of Middletown, CT, is a
boy named Mylichreest. He is about
Y years of age. He was born without
arms, yet he plays ball and peddles
papers on the street. He carries silver
and pennies in his boots, and can make
change as rapidly as any one, picking
out pennies or nickels with his toes. He
never makes any mistakes, and can tell
the size of coin by feeling of it with
his toes. Young Mylichreest keeps his
feet very clean. 1t is indeed a strange
sight to see him sit at table with a
knife between the toes of one foot and a
fork held by the toes of the other foot,
as he rapidly cuts up his food and
places it in his mouth. During the
school vacation this lad can be seen
daily driving horse attached to a
heavy wagon loaded with sand or stone,
which belongs to his father, William
Mylichreest, builder. The lad holds
the reins between his toes, and handles
the whip with ease in the same manner.
He can throw stone with considerable
force, and is very bright and active. In
school he stands well in his classes. He
is popular with all his playmates and
the public in general.

Reform Needed.

What the daily papers are pleased to
call 'an extraordinary accident occurr-
ed in New York City, the other day. A
gallery heavily loaded with machinery
and working girls gave way, crushed
through several floors and brought up
in heap in the cellar. One girl was
crushed TO death, several were injured
and some had miraculous escapes.
The only extraordinary thing is that
more accidents do not occur of this
kind The large cities are filled with
buildings hastily put up, without being
expected to sustain the heavy weight of
machinery and hundreds of employees
afterwards crowded in it. 1t is thought
nothing to place a couple dozen ma
chimes, weighing two or three tons each,
on the top floor of six or eight story
building erected originally for office
purposes. Then when crush comes
the comforting assurance is given out
that there has been negligence, and
that it will be investigated.
1t is time, rigid laws were enacted on
this subject. 1t is not impossible to
estimate the strength needed and
quality of material to be used in erect
ing a building of certa ain height for
particular purposes. Let state legisla-
tors make enactments specifying rules
that must be followed in building for
manufacturing purposes, and then
make it impossible, by series of fines
and final confiscation, for factories to
accept any but such authorized build
ings. Until this is done the lives OF
working men and women, employed by
small factories who crowd by the dozen
in tall buildings in the cities will not be
worth much, and the string of casual
ties from criminal negligence will con-
time to increase

that city who inadvertently placed a
slur on the wrong note. He had adapt

on the first two syllables. he placed it
on the last one, and rendered it thus:

against Republicanism and in favor of
Democracy. Ii the Republican party
should adopt prohibition in toto, the
