The Ne1o York World accuses
General Harrison of talking nonsense,
and to prove its assertion quotes the
following paragraph from his speech
to the Illinois delegation who called
upon him: "The British Parlia-
ment does not legislate with a view
to advance the interest of the peo-
pie of the United States. They,
rightly, have in view the interest of
that empire over which Victoria
reigns. Should we not also as
Americans, in our legislation con
slider first the interests Of our peo-
ple?" This may appear foolish to
the Democrats and English free
traders, but the majority Of the peo-
pie in this country will agree that
it is the exact truth, and expresses
the sentiment of every true Ameri-
can. The first duty Of America is
to Americans.

party seem to be his leading quail
fications for the place.

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

" ActINhlbNs JulE NttL, 1000
Senator IIiscock has introduced
bill providing for the pensioning of
all persons who served three months
in the army or navy of the United
States during the rebellion.
A caucus of Republican Senators
was held at the residence of Senator
Eyarts Wednesday evening, at which
it was definitely settled that a sub
stitute for the Mills bill should be
reported to the Senate thoroughly
discussed and pushed to a vote be-
fore adjournment. 1t is understood
that the measure is now nearly
ready to be reported. The bill it is
expected will touch the customs
very lightly, with the exception of
sugar, which will be heavily cut.
The internal revenue is expected to
finish the most of the reduction.
The bill will probably be reported
in two weeks.
Under the provision of the bill
passed by the Senate for the relief
of depositors in the late Freedmans
Bank, only the colored depositors
will be paid.
Senator Sherman has reported
favorably from the finance com
mittee Mr. Spooner's amendment to
tie Sundry Civil Appropriation bill
providing for the refunding of the
direct tax paid by the several states
and territories under the act of
August 5, 1861. This amendment
is substantially the same as the bill
which, after its passage by the SEN
ate caused the recent prolonged
deadlock in the House, whereby the
southern democrats succeeded in
preventing the House from passing
bill that was favored by more
than three-fourths of it's members.
This amendment is certain to be
passed by the Senate, but whether
the southern brigadiers of the
House will again fllibuster against
it cannot be said at present, although
it is safe to assume that they will,
so that another deadlock may be
considered as among the probabil-
tiles of the near future.
Senator ingalls, is expected to
make q speech in few days on the
fisheries treaty, in which he will
review the entire foreign policy Of
this administration, and show what
mammoth fraud ii has been from
the beginning That Mr.. ingalls,
will handle the subject without
gloves it is unnecessary to say.
Brigadier CockreIl, of Missouri,
had quite 3 spst with Senator Davis,
chairman of the Senate Committee
on pensions, Tuesday Cockrell at
tempted to defend Cleveland's veto
Of Mrs. Doherty's pension bill.
Thereupon Mr.. Davis proved that
every statement upon which the
veto was based was false.
Senator Davis has reported favor
ably to the Senate, from the pension

SEVEN Of the ten members of the
democratic campaign committee are
railroad Spectators and officials and
the representatives of transportation
corporations. The three remaining
members are also supposed to own
railroad interests. 1t is a known
fact that Brice, Scott and Sewell,
representing twenty-six railroad cor
porations, were appointed to this
committee at the suggestion of Nj.
Cleveland Scott has put his name
down for a contribution Of $1,000
600 for Cleyeland's campaign, to be
paid in instaIlments Of s25o,O00.
Brice is down for 100000, and
Oelrichs for like sum. How does
it happen that seven out Of ten of
the democratic campaign committee
are millionaire railroad officials? Is
it pure accident? Such thing was
never known before. Usually, this
proportion of managers is not
drawn from railroad owners, who
generally work for their own inter-

ests. 1t is worth the attention of
the people, who are already sus-
picious of the influence of the
great railway corporations over the
legislation of the country. Is it
safe to have a president indebted
chiefly to the railway corporations
for his election?

YOU SHOULD BRACE UP

Whenever you feel that your gen
eral health is running down. 1t is
good advice to "brace up" but not
on "tanglefoot," "forty-rod," "bit-
tiers" of innumerable names and
composed Of the Lord knows what,
and it is not much better to fill your
system with nauseating drugs even
on a physicians prescription. A
more agreeable tonic is a relaxation
from the cares of business. If it
is winter you can journey to Florida,
the Gulf Coast, or Southern Cali
fornia. In summer the lovely lakes
of Minnesota or the grand mountain
scenery and salubrious air of Colo
RADIO or Montana will give health
and happiness. To reach any of
these take "The Burlington"-buy

The Entertainment.
A Brilliant Success, Pleasurably ant
Financially.

| As announced, on Sunday last the la
dies prepared some tables in front of the
college, upon which were eatables arran-
ged in 4 manner that would have temp
ted the most fastidious palate.
At about 6 o'clock in the evening lines
Of people from every direction began to
move tOwads the hall, and few minutes
after the opening Of the door, the hall
was crowded TO its utmost. The au-
dience was bent upon pleasures, and
every one attired in light spring gar
mcnts was in the best mood and delights
and pleasures reigned supreme.
The ladies and especially the good
Sisters of Mercy had prepared everything
so rs to offer the greatest ease to the
spectators. and the entertainment as Il
whole was real treat. The children
have acquitted themselves, OF their diff
cult tasks with credit to themselves, their
parents and the good Sisters who have
devoted so much of their precious time
in training those little creatures.
The swarm of charming little girls in
bright and elegant costumes grouped on
the stage presented to the sight most
lovely tableaux.
We cannot pass without paying parti-
cular attention to the manner in which
Miss Celika Gueriniere has distinguished
herself in the attitude Of Queen Eliza
beth. Her tliction. intonation and iui-
mediate control Of her immotioHal feel
ingS in that ungrateful and difficult cha
cacter was rendered in a perfect manner.
Father Langlois assisted at the enter
tainment and was highly pleased with
the perfect order that prevailed and the
fine training of the children.
The entertainment as a whole was Il
mass Of rolling pleasures, and the con-
summation of sandwiches. cakes, ice
creams. lemonades, beer &c, was large.
and the success, pleasUrably and finan-
cially, was far beyond the expectation
of all.
We now extend the congra tulations of
the Messenger to the ladies in charge,
and the good Sisters for the success at
tained by their efforts in so worthy
cause.
