LATE WASHINGTON NEWS.
Senator Vance Opposes the Sub-Treasury
Bill in its Present Shape.

Bill in its Present Shape.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Vance has written a letter to Elias
Carr. president of the Farmers ALI
ance of North Carolina, in opposition
to the Sub Treasury Warehouse bill.
He states that he procured a hear
ing for Messrs. Polk and McCume for
the bill before the Senate committee,
but he says: "My own position re-
mains the same. cannot support the
bill in its present shape, but 1 am not
opposed to the principle and purposes
of the measure"
He points out that the way to bene-
fit the agricultural classes is by re-
forming the tariff. He is opposed to
the feature of the bill which provides
for the loaning of money to the peo-
pie by the government on the deposit
of grain, but thinks the government
warehouses at ports might be utilized
for the reception of domestic articles,
and certificates issued for the same up
on which money could be borrowed.
He says that the farmers move
ment at this time amounts to little
short of a revolution, and that OPP
pressed free men often became impa-
tent, and that impatient men are Of
ten unwise. The Democratic party
are, he says, in favor of legislation
which the Alliance is fighting for.
He calls attention to the contest in
South Carolina. which can only have
the result of putting that State back
under African rule. "This, too," he
exclaims, "among men who profess to
agree upon matters of principle"
"Let us. strive for a reduction of
taxation on the necessaries of life, for
reduction of the expenditures of the
government, for an increase of curren-
cy and the price of farm products by
the free coinage of silver and the res
toration of its full legal tender char
acter; for a repeal of the tax upon
state banks; for the regulation of
transportation rates by railroad COM
missions, and last but not least, let us
earnestly contend against the spirit of
Capitalization which is constantly
threatening to absorb the local self
government of the people of the
United States.
Collector E. A. White, internal rev.
enue collector, was in Washington last
week. 1t is understood here that the
commissioner of internal revenue has
recommended to the President that
the two revenue districts in North
Carolina be consolidated, and White
made collector Of the new district thus
formed. This suggestion is made on
account Of the defeat Of Eaves, whom
the President appointed for collector
of the western district, by reason of
the Senate's refusal to confirm him.
DR.. Mott, who was Eaves's bitter op-
ponent, told the President recently
that he had made Eaves what he was.
The President replied in very sharp
tone that he was aware of the exis-
tence of only one Creator. There is a
great crowd of Republicans after the
vacant relationship. Among them
are J. j. Mott, w. E. Henderson, Geo.
Smathers, Robert Patterson and P. G.
Thomas.

4 Potato Diamond.

Farmer Bowles, Of Easthampton, L.
l., is grateful for the open winter of
1sS9-9O. He had large mortgage about
ripe, and was wondering how he could
raise the money to pay it off, as it could
no longer be renewed. To think the bet
ten he went into his cellar and sorted his
potatoes, some of them already sprout-
ing, under the impression that it was
spring instead of winter.
While cutting out one of these sprouts
his knife glanced from glass like sub
stance, which the good farmer dug out
in leisurely way and put in his pocket
without the tiourishes he would have
made had he known it was q diamond.
He found it out later when he went to
Brooklyn on business. He displayed the
stone to a merchant who at once pro.
nounced it diamond of the first water,
and offered to 60 with him to jewelers.
for satisfaction. They went, and the
merchants opinion was corroborated
with an offer of 81, 900 cash for the jewel
The farmer did not accept the offer

circumstances. If he could only know
how the diamond got into the potato he
would feel better about it. Not knowing
but the rest of the potatoes We're equally
as rich he went home and picked ovel
the lot, but without further results.
1t is thought that some burglar hid the
diamond in the field and the potato ap
propriated it.-New York journal.

Mirage In Ohio,

A remarkable instance of the atmos-
pheric effect known as mirage was wit
messed at Ashland, o., on March 10. 1t
appeared about o'clock in the western
heavens, and was clear and well de-
fined picture of a city, with all its build
ings so distinctly visible that their differ
ent styles could be easily distinguished.
Owing to the great distance of the objects
thus reflected, however, the steeples of
the churches and the walls of the houses
were slightly inclined. The image was,
of course, inverted, but was life sized,
for the reflection enormously magniied
the picture, though leaving it exquisitely
sharp, thus causing it to present re-
markably realistic appearance of a large
and populous city suspended in the air,
or falling through it, for an amazing
feature of the phenomena was that,
while the city itself was so clearly de-
fined, there was no reflection whatever
of the ground on which it stood.-Phila-
delphia Times.

A Hello Apnihuator

4 One Of the most unique inventions Of
the day is being exhibited in this city,
namely, Telegraph which gives the
message in the handwriting of the send.
er instead of in dots and dashes.
The instrument is small and compact,
takes-up less room than a telephone,
and, it is claimed, has many advantages
over the latter, the most important being
that after two parties communicate with
each other they havea written record in
their own handwritings Of the CORE
spondence. The instrument is placed
upon a stand or desk, and the only parts
of it visible are fountain pen, a stylus
attached to the box and a narrow strip
Of paper.
The stylus is taken up, and the act
draws the attention of the central Office.
The operator writes the number of the
instrument of the person with whom he
desires 10 communicate. He is connected
and the narrow strip of paper begins
moving. The stylus is in reality the
means of transmitting the message. 1t
is attached to the apparatus below and
as it is moved in the making of loops and
lines of the letters in breaks and recon-
meets currentS, carrying the little foun-
tain pen to make the identical characters
on the strip of paper before him and also
causing the pen of the receivers instru-
ment to record the same characters.
When the receiver wishes to reply he
simply takes up his stylus and writes
while the other remains quiet.
The instrument is designed to either
take the place Of the telephone or to
work in addition to it. 1t is cheaper, be-
ing let out at an annual rental, and,
like the telephone, connected with CEN
tral office. Although probably most use
full for use in cities, tests have demon
strated its practicability for interurban
use, one message having been accurately
recorded 800 miles away, and going 6S
miles over an ordinary wire with single
battery.-New Orleans Picayune.

PRINCIPLE VS.. LAW.

Two Helena Merchants Battling for the
Former, Regardless of Expense.
The pugnacious propensities of certain
people, when it comes down to fighting a
case in court has an excellent illustration
in civil suit that is now going on between
two Of Helena's Jewish merchants. About
two weeks ago N. Nathan, clothing mer-
chant, sued Leopold Mopheim, also cloth
ing merchant near the Northern Pacific, to
recover an alleged debt of $3.50. The trial
was held in Judge Sanders court before a
jury. Attorneys were employed on each
side at $50 corner. The defendant. Mon
and paid the money in evidence, vet the in
telligent Jury, after carefully weighing the
testimony, brought in verdict for Monheim,
ruling that he did not owe Nathan anything.
The plaintiff, of course, took exceptions to
this. A new trial was asked for and granted,
also a change of venue to Justice Wood
mans court. When the case left Sanders
$2o.S5. A change OF venue was secured then
to Justice Fleischer's court, and $5.4O more
costs were added. while the attorneys
fees went on, and when Justice Fleischer
called the case up yesterday afternoon $40
more had been added to the bill in attor-
ney's fees. Another jury trial was had.
The jury consisted of Sam Alexander, W..
B. Hundley, Louis Stadler, Jos. Davis, VIM.
Beckett and D. A. Mcdonald. The verdict
Judgment for e26. and costs of suit which,
exclusive of attorney fees, was $64.25.
While but $26 80 was only involved the case
has now cost the belliRerents $144.25 and
notice of appeal to the district court has
been given.
