Senate Rule Changed So as to Grant Him
the Privilege of the Floor.

Senate Rule Changed So as to Grant Him
the Privilege of the Floor.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. Gan amendment to
the Senate rules was adopted, on Friday
last, giving to the President-elect and the
Vice-president-elect the privileges of the
floor. No reason for adopting this rule was
given at the time of it's adoption, as there
was no objection made to it. 1t is learned
now that the reason for changing the rules
was to give the Vice-president-elect an op-
portunity to study the rules of procedure of
the Senate, so that he may be familiar with
them when he is called upon to take the
chair of the presiding officer. A member of
the Senate went to the President pro
tempore. Mr.. ingalls,, last week, and asked
If Mr.. Morton would be admitted to the
floor of the Senate in event he came to
Washington during this session of Con-
under Ss, the the. rui Is"n' he Would not;
that General Harrison would not be ad-
mitted to the floor cut for the fact that he
had been Senator and thus came under
q distinct rule. The Senator stated that
Mr.. Morton was comingt to Washington soon
after the meeting of the Electoral College,
to study the rules of the Senate, of which
he has never been member, In order that
he might assume the chair of the presiding
officer with some degree of confidence. Mr..
Ingalls, said that the only way to obtain adj
mittance to the floor for Mr.. Morton would
be to change the rule, and, in accordance
with his suggestion, the proposition was
laid before the committee on rules, and that
committee reported the proposed change to
the Senate, which thereupon adopted it.
So, when Mr.. Morton comes to Washington
in February he will find no obstacle to a
careful study of the Senate rules of pro-
cedure

He is surer of finding it when he starts out
at low tide than is the fisherman of finding n
school of mackerel the farmer of raising
his crop or the sportsman of bagging his
game. clam-digger may only limit his
prospective wealth by his capacity TO dig.
and that often means three times as much
money in week as the average newspaper
man can earn. There is more wealth de-
posted in the Ipswich and Essex clam-flats,
for instance, than in many of the national
banks in this commonwealth, and they
seem to have unlimited power of replacing
all losses at the hands of the digger. This
fishy agriculturist has no call TO pillow his
ground and plant. His crop obligingly
does it for hir1 and also accommodatingly
leaves an air-hole where he went in so the
clammer may know where to dig. An over
seer of the poor in a city ten miles out of
Boston was once waited upon by an able
bodied man, who asked aid on the ground
that he was unable to find employment and
his family was starving. You can dig

A SUPPER FOR THIEVES.
Curious Banquet Presided Over by Lon
dOn's Lord Mayor.

dOn's Lord Mayor.
London Letter.
The annual banquet of the thieves of
London. given the other day by the st.
of the old proverb. fo this banquet, rare
par excellence, none but thieves fresh from
Jail are admitted, except, of course, the
members of the mission and their friends.
This mission has a curious history. 1t
was founded about twelve years ago by "a
thief nick-named the Fiddler" who aban
dOned his old profession and took to relig
ion for a living. Since that time it has
increased in power and usefulness. Every
morning, when the doors of the four prisons
of London are opened to let loose the indi-
viduals who have discharged their debts to
society, members of the mission come for
ward and invite the crooks to breakfast.
Out of $4,000 of these worthless set free in
1887, IL, 200 accepted the invitation.
At the close of the repast temperance
pledge is presented to the guests, which
they may sign or not, just as they choose.
pledge and about One-fOurth of that third
keep it. The mission furnishes money, tools
and clothes to the crooks who display sin
cere intentions to lead better lives and it
finds employment for them. too.
At the banquet in question about two
hundred guests sat down to the table.
There were some queer faces among them
and their costumes defied description. They
ate in silence-that is to say, without speak
ing-but the rattle of their knives and forks
during the engagement gave noisy evidence
of good appetites. Gradually the din sub
sided until there were only a few stray
rattles left like the close of well sustained
infantry fire. Then the speeches began, but
held their tongues. The Lord Mayors
speech was interesting. He said that ten
years ago the population of the prisons of
London numbered 90, s33. 1t is now reduced
to 1886 and he attributed the reduction TO
the work of missions like that of ST. Giles.
When his lordship left the banquet hall
he felt for his watch and he was happy to
find that it was there.

BALLOTS AND BULLETS.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons Opens Her Mouth and
breaches the Doctrine of Blood and Force.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-"PrisOn bars nor the
gallows shall prevent me from speak
ing the TRUTH" exclaimed Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, at the meeting of the Social
istic Labor party, at Waverly Hall,
this afternoon. THE ballot is useless
as remedy, and change in the present
condition of the wage slaves will never be
bro ught about peacefully. Force is the
only remedy, and force will GER
tainly be used" The meeting
was called to listen to paper by
Prof. Charles Orchardson ON Salvation
from Poverty" The speaker deprecated all
incendiary arguments and all appeals to
fOrceful measures on the part of what
were known as Anarchists. Anarchy never
would improve the condition of society.
He devoted himself principally to the pri-
waite ownerships of land, and claimed that
more frauds had been committed in that
name than in any other.
At the conclusion of the Professors lecture
Mrs. Parsons took the floor in a violent
harangue. denouncing the speaker for the
mildness of his views. and said:
The ballot-boX is useless to
tuo evils VI Society, ana
there is not a Socialist living who believes
that a reform can be brought about peace
ably. They all admit it, but they claim
that 1t is not policy to say so.
/ am not afraid to say what I be-
lieve, whether it leads me to prison
bars or the scaffOld. But, go on voting.
Vote for what you want, but do not forget
that the bill of rights gives every man the
right to keep and bear arms, and when you
want to vote take your little musket to the
polls with You, and then your vote will be
counted. not before. Take the ballot, but
first put an idea, a strong and determination
behind it and then buy yourselves a good
Winchester rife. Be prepared to fight for
your rights. Men who are armed are
bound to be free, and you are all wage
slaves to-day because you are not"
Here the applause was almost deaf;
around the room; Il do not care"
said she, whether there are any
policemen or detectives here or not,
or whether the newspapers want to come
out with sensational headlines about
me. Go on voting, and in ten
years you will find yourselves
as / am now. You will be no
further advanced, and then you will have
to come to the revolution of force which I
advocate now"
Her voice rang strong and clear, and as
she finished it seemed evident, from the
loud applause that followed, that the ma
jority of those present were in full accord
with the measures she SO fearlessly advO-
Gated.

Buenos Ayres Standard.
was padding along in small canoe on
one of the numerous tributaries of the Rio
Parana,. looking for ducks or anything
worth shooting, when suddenly heard be-
hind me fearful yell and great splash
ing In the water A bend in the river pre-
vented me seeing what it was. but, think
ing 1T was some tapirs or carpinchOs bath
ing, i turned my canoe in order to get a
shot at them, and saw huge snake hang
ing from tree with his body curled two or
three times around an unfortunate seal.
The water around them was fOaming, and
every now and then the seal and the fore
part of the snake would disappear below
the surface and remain below for several
seconds, until In moment the snake would
twist his body into a sort of cOrkscrew
shape and lift the seal right out of the
water, and they would remain swinging IN
the air, only supported by the snakes tail.
At one time / saw the second seal jump
clean out of the water to catch hold of the
snake, and all three remained in the air,
roaring and yelling most fearfully for some
time, when suddenly they dropped into the
water again, the snake never losing his
hold of the tree.
As none of the combatantss seemed to be in
the least affected by my approach, put my
canoe within some ten or twelve yards of
them, so as to have q good shot at the snake
next time they appeared, and had scarce
ly laid down my paddle and caught up my
gun when they came up again. / aimed
right at the snake where he had curled
himself around the seal, and gave him both
barrels. The effect could not have been
greater. The snake let go of the tree and
fell with the whole length of his body into
the water, splashing me all over, and then
again the three disappeared. After about
a minute both seals came up on the other
side of the canoe, looking at me and shak-
ing their heads in the same way as dogs do
when they come out of water. They had
both white breasts, and l noticed that one
of them was bleeding from a wound in the
neck, but whether from my shot or from a
bite of the snake / could not tell.
The snake a little later crawled up the
'barranca" out of the water, as if nothing
was the matter with him. SO L gave him one
shot more, which made him disappear in
the bushes, where l, being alone in the
canoe. thought it more prudent not to fol-
low him. He was very big one, for from
the branch to which he had his tail at
tached down to the water was a distance of
some fourteen feet and when he fell his
tail nearly reached my canoe. / did not
understand. though. how he would have
managed to eat one of the SEALS each one of
which was the size of an ordinary man.
