there has been some gossip. to the effect
that her death was not due to heart dis

church of this city. There Is no reason
whatever. to believe that death resulted
from other than heart disease.

GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON

See. Rusk, of the department of agricul-
tme, says: Il have been very much an
noyed 10y the policy of the house and senate
in the. e.matter of making niggardly appro-
priations for this department. This is now
the department of the people, especially of
the farmers, and it can no longer be treat
ed as a subordinate bureau. intend to
have full and liberal appropriations
to carry ON business of this depart
meut on broad scale, and any of the
fellows who stand in the way, will find
themselves hurt when they get to the polls
next November The fact of the matter
Is that Secretary Rusl is one of the ablest
and most aggressive members of the pres
ent administration and has thrown his
whole soul into the work of building up
the department of agriculture. He has
number of able assistants about him and
they are all imbued with something of the
secretary's enthusiasm, and all are anxious
for large appropriations for their depart
ment.
There are d great ,nlany speeches made
nowadays, which are never delivered
Just before the nominating conventions.
the dear people will commence to receive
printed copies of speeches winch were
made by their congressman, but. these
speeches are made, not delivered. That
is, jhey are prepared, ready for delivery,
and the honorable member rises in his
seat, catches the speaker eye and says:
II desire to submit few remarks upon
this subject; and ask leave to print.
Rather than sit and listen to lot Of rot.
the house gives leave to print, and the
speech appears the following morning in
The Congressional Record; but, it never
was delivered. The congressman can
have a thousand copies of these speeches
printed, at small cost at the government
printing Office and mailed to the dear
people Nine times, out of ten, it is safe
for the dear reader to bet that the speech
received through the mails never was de-
Iivered in the house. 1t is a pity to give
the statesmen away; but. these are the

THE Home Market club, Of Boston, are
protectionizts of the ultra school, but the
idea Of putting raw hides on the dutiable
list Of the tariff, seems to them supcrative
nonsense. They declare that lin cases
like hides, which, as a product Of the farm
are but incidental to a more important
product. and as a material in manufactur-
ing, are fundamental to many great ind IS
tries, it would be saperlatiyely unwise to
take such an article from the free list,
where it has been for eighteen years, and
put a duty upon it which would be more
likely to benefit the packer than the grower
and which would, to say the least, endan-

ground that republican irregularities were
