phia Herald, whose millionaire editor
was one of the largest contributors to
the Republican corruption fund, states
that on the Saturday evening before the
election $50, 900 were placed in the
hands of "a Republican State leader,
none if which went TO the County Com
mittee or TO the necessary and legIti-
mate expenses of the campaign" 1t
was appropriated, az the Christian edI-
torial brother states, TO purchase voters.
Samuel Kerchevsl is the Chairman of
the Republican County Committee in
Spencer county, Indiana. Speaking of
the victory after the event lie is said to
have stated at was an expensive
campaign, the most expensive the State
has ever known. The price of votes
averaged $50 each and in some cases we
had to Gay as high as $40 and $50; but
we got them and carried the State" In
explaining subsequently how the pur-
chased votes were held. he added "If
you buy dry goods you get the package
when you give the money. We went on
the same principle
President Cleveland was defeated by
narrow majority in New York and
by less than $500 plurality IN Indiana,
and thus the administration of the gov
ernment goes from his party to that of
the opposition. But IN view OF the tes-
timony of these two competent wit
nesses the defeat was neither a con-
demnation of the man Tor the p;inci-
Piles he represented. Moreover, a
triumph thus obtained will not be per-
manent and is like To plague those who
profit by it,"

\ SMALL blaze in the kitchen OF a
Jersey City hotel created a tremendous
rumpus op Tuesday rnornIng. The
house was full OF actresses belonging to
the "Siberis' company. They became
panic stricken as soon as they saw the
fire engines. Several clamered down
the fre-escapes without waiting to
dress. A dozen or more tumoled over
each other in their wild haste to get
through the trout door in their night
clothes. Barefooted and screaming
they ran down the street to the Penn
sylvanIa Railway station. The fire in
the kitchen was extinguished without
difficulty. The porters from the hotel
carried to the frightened women clothes
enough for them to return to the hotel
in. No one was seriously hurt.

What Congress Costs.

There are just 40l members of the
House and of the Senate, and to wait
upon them and run errands and hold
open the doors as they pass in and out,
and carry the cards of their callers and
take care of the thousands of bills they
put in they have employed about 400
people, who are paid the snug little sum
of 1854, 900 for doing so. Every men,
Der has one employe, and for the service
of the same there is paid an average of
about 81 800 each. The snug little sum
of $3S0,00O is required to pay the sal
aries of the Senators, and for the COM
pensation of the members of the House
$1,695,000 is to be provided. and this
brings the salaries of our National law
makers to total of over $1,000. 900 per
year. 1t costs a little less than $3.50, 900
per session to pay the mileage of the
members, and the country pays $4,000
to purchase the stationery for members
and officers of the House alone in any
one session. The Treasury pays $50, 1000
for reporting the debates, whether Con-
gress sits for one month or for twelve,
as the official reporters, like most of the
clerks, are paid by the year, though
they seldom do more than twelve
months work in the twenty-four
months that make up Congressional
term WASHINGTON Letter.

SLAVERY IN CHINA.
A System Which Follows Its Victim Even
Into Foreign Countries.

lHlp oTtlSh Countries
The question will naturally arise in
many minds how the vast number of
dependents in China are maintained
and controlled in servitude. The an
swer is, that all people are taught ODE
dience to the head of the family, whether
that person is the real parent or
whether he merely stands i'll loco par
entis. The teachings of parents, of the
schools, of the books of religion and of
the government are all in favor OF such
obedience and submission. There can
be no living in China outside of a family.
To be a nobody's child is to be an out
cast, and hunted like a wolf on the
mountains. In order to live in house,
to travel on the highways or byways,
10 buy food or clothing, to get employ
ment or shelter, q Government pass is
absolutely necessary, and that is al
ways based upon a family pass. All
law, all the officials and all the people
of vast and densely populated country
are joined against any fugitive from d
family.
In addition to all these the terrors of
religion and superstition are brought to
Dear to enforce obedience to the family
law. 1t is implicitly believed that those
who are disobedient in this world or
outside the family association will be
wanderers and outcasts through all the
worlds to come. 1t is the terrors of
this belief that make the victim of the
Chinese family authority go uncom-
plainingly to the lingering but sure
death Of the guano islands of Peru; to
the pestiferous rice and cane fields of
Cuba, and it is these terrors of the
future which make the unfortunate slave
girls endure lives of shame and infamy
in foreign countries, whore by raising
hand they could be freed.-,SdN Fran

The most notherly railway in the
world will be one now being constructed
in Sweden. 1t will run from Lulea,
on the Gulf of Bothnia, through
Swedish Lapland to the White Sea.
Within the last few weeks the road has
been constructed to a point within the
Arctic circle, and the first locomotive
has crossed the imaginary line which
is supposed to inclose the regions
where the Frost King holds almost
complete sway. The head Of the Gulf
of Bothnia, where the road commences,
is itself within short distance of the
Arctic circle. The most northerly
point reached by rail in Canada is on
the Canadian Pacific railway, about
the summit of the Rocky Mountains,
being about halfway between ATTITUDES
fifty-one and fifty-two degrees. The
terminus of the Manitoba Northwest
ern Railway reaches within few miles
Of latitude fifty-one degrees. The
southern point of the Swedish road
will be in the neighborhood of latitude
sixty-seven degrees, or about sixteen
degrees north of the most northerly
point reached in Canada by rail. Wia-

THE LOCO WEED PEST.
Evil Effects of the Plant Upon the Cattle Of
the Western Plains.

send you plant called loco in this country
Stocknan say it is very injurious TO cattle and
horses, having something of the effect of opium
on man. Will you please give it a fair examiaa
ton and answer in your paper?
The downy-leaved plant you send is
AStra9aIuS moltjSSinuS, and its common
name in the West is "loco weed" al
though in some other localities it is
known as rattle weed" as the seed,
when ripe, breaks loose and rattles in the
dry pods. There are $50 North Amer
lean species of astralagus, but they are
far more numerous west of the Missis-
sippi than east of it. Several years
ago, when the stock-raising industry
began to be developed on the Western
plains, it was discovered that the ami
mails feeding on the wild grasses and
other plants early in spring were fire.
quently attacked with vertigo, impaired
vision, and loss of flesh and strength,
the brain being SO seriously affected
that the animals became unmanage-
able. Horses would sometimes live
for several months after an attack,
While others would die in few days
The cause of this malady has been
widely attributed to the eating of the
different species of astragalus; hence
the name of ''loco," meaning foolish
or crazy. These loco weeds belong to
the same botanical family as beans,
peas and clovers, and it seems scarcely
possible that they can contain any poi
sonous principles that would affect
horses and cattle, as so often claimed by
Western stockmen. Several very care
full analyses of the loco weed have been
made without discovering any poison
Gus properties. Still, it is not denied
that the eating of these plants does
sometimes cause the affections de-
scribed. 1t may be that it is caused by
the indigestibility of the leaves of the
plant, which, becoming impacted in
the stomach, prevents this and other
Internal organs from perfor ming their
natural functions. Until some thor
ough scientific veterinarian has an OPP
portunity of practically investigating
the loco weed and its effect on cattle on
the plains, we fear very little will be
known in regard to this malady so
often referred to by our readers in the
West-N Y. Sun.

Ring out, ring out We merry bells,
And let the deep-mouthed cannon roar,
Each patriotic bosom swels

The kissing rocket cleaves the skies;
Hark, hear the Roman candle fizz,
Behold the red and blue light rise.
Now, whizz! z'z-zip! bang! torpedoes crash
And split the fretted ear OF night;
Fire-crackers Jump, toy pistols flash,
Mid EXPLANATIONS of delight.
Now blaze the barrels smeared with tar,
Slow matches pass from hand to hand,
And salve and sticking plaster are
At druggists stores in gre at demand.
