WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although before
the adjournment yesterday the senate for
mally took mp the tariff bill, and thus made
it pending business, it will be informally
set aside while the senate considers the
sundry civil appropriation bill, and prob
ably the Indian appropriation bill. The
tariff may be taken up Wednesday, bre this
depends upon the action of the caucus
Monday night. Another effort is being
made in the house this week to secure the
passage of the original package and bank
ruptcy bills, under the operation of q
special rule, as soon as the pending land
grant forfeiture bill is out of the way.

divided equally between the two political
parties. Mr.. Stackpole, prominent law

There appears to be hitch regarding the

MONTANA BILLS.
The Helena Public Building May Squeeze
Through


WAsHNoroN, July 18.-[Spscial. .1-since
the Montana senator's have been seated no
Montana bills have passed that body. Or
dinarily it has been quite hard matter to
secure the passage of bills in the house,
while the senate generally floods the house
members with local measures, which are
hung up in the lower body. There are now
pending in the senate three bills which have
passed the house. The bill fora commission
to contract with the Crows for the cession
OF portion Of their reservation; the bill for
the Miles City park and another for dispos-
ing Of the Fort Ellis militsry reservation.
Before the senators were seated several
Montana measures passed and have become
laws. Representative Cartsr says the only
bills pending in the house for Montana are
for public buildings ut Helena and Butte.
All public building bills are in such . tangle
that it is impossible to guess whsther any
thing will be done at the present session.
It is possible that helena may b pulled out
OF the mess if the session lasts two months
longer.
There is nice point raised and discussed
as to what the senate would do il the gov
ernors of Idaho and Wyoming would ap-
point United States senator's. It has been
suggested that under the constitution the
governor can appoint to fill vacancies, but
whether this meant created vacancies or
not has never been decided. Az both gov
ernors are candidates for senators it is more
than likely that nothing of the kind will be
done. The question is also raised as to
whether Dubois and Carey will have any
rights on the floor of the honse and whether
they are entitled to hold their seats as dele
gates and draw their salaries. The point
will not be raised unless one of them rises
to make motion, when the question will
be referred to the committee on judiciary.
1t has been reported that Senators Squire
and Allen are against changing the rules
of the senate and will Iote with the demo-
Gratis on such proposition. This ia not at
all likely. Both Squire and Allen want to
see some business transacted and do not
want the election bill taken up unless it
can be passed. The forfeiture bill, which
has been up for consideration twice in the
house, is not liable to come up again before
Tuesday. Monday is District Of Columbia
day, then follows the regular business of
the house, and the unfinished business ia
the forfeiture bill. As usual there are Ia
large number Of men fighting the bill be-
cause it is claimed that the bill will practi-
cally confirm the grant to the Northern Pa
cifo road to Wallula, WASH, and they
claim forfeiture should be declared of all
lands that we're not earned in the time
specified in the granting act for the road to
be built. It ia expected the bill will pass
Tuesday or Wednesday. This bill forfeits
the unearned Wisconsin Central grant in
western Wisconsin, in which many people
are interested.

and the fibers of the palm-tree. These

care as cotton, so that unripe or unsea.
soned fbers shall not be used, as the
fabrics will not take dyes satisfactorily
when made of them. The ma, or China
grass, is obtained from the Boehnerid
mecca, as also from the less-knowr
Boetnserio puyo. The fbers of this stalk
have, when prepared and bleached, the
brilliancy of silk and snowy white

China grass fabric is that the tissues
produced are much more easily washed
than silk, and lose none of their beauty
or quality in their operation. BY Ger

the oboca. The stalks of the water
palm (Ohaneaerops humiIs) furnish the
Arabs with flbrous flock which they

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
According to Professor Boyesen She Is Pa
triotic, But Pusnacious.

According to Professor BOyesen She L. PA.
triotic, But Pugnacious.
I first met the original typical Ameri-
can girl in 1869. l was sometimes in
danger of misinterpreting her conduct,
but soon came to the conclusion that
there was no harm in her. She ruled
her father and her mother, who some
times interposed feeble objections to her
plans for her own and my amusement;
but the end invariably was that puz.
zled assent was yielded to all her pro-
ceedings. She had about as much idea
of propriety lin the European sense) as
cat has of mathematics. She recog-
nized no law except her own sovereign
will, and her demands were usually SO
emphatic that no one could disagree
with her without the risk of quarreling.
Patriotic she was-bristling with COM
bativeness if criticism was made
which implied disrespect of American
manners or institutions. She was good
natured, generous to fault and brim-
ming with energy.
This young girl is the type of Ameri-
can womanhood which has become do
mesticated in European fiction. She is
to French, English and German authors
the American type par excellence. She
is alfamiliar figure in the French drama,
and her pistol-fring and her amusing
rowdyism relieve the monotony of many
dull novel. Ouida has caricatured her
in ''Moths'' and Sardou in ''L'Oncle
Sam" Henry James ventured some
years ago to publish a mild edition OF
her in 'Daisy Miller" and outraged
patriotism denounced him as SLAM
derer of his country, declaring that he
had libeled American womanhood,
I, too, in recent novel, was tempted
to make little literary capital out OF
an early acquaintance with this person.

ence. I was told by chorus of re-
viewers land suspected the soprano
note in most of them) that the type
was one of my own invention; that 1t
did not exist except in my jaundiced eye:
that if it did exist, had outrageously
caricatured it; and that had conclu.
sively proved myself an alien, devoid OF
sympathy with the American character.
Now, I had prided myself on having
avoided the farcical exaggerations of my
European confreres. I had imagined
that my ''emancipated young woman
was strictly true to life, and that NO
single trait of her vivacious personality
had been set down in malice or for the
sake of effect.
The women who make it point to be
abreast of London in all the more or less
arbitrary observances, are apparently
unaware that they are robbing them
selves Of their highest charm when they
are no longer frankly American. 1t is
their National favor, refined by intelli.
gence and culture, which makes them
power both at home and abroad; and
they should have the courage to be proud
of this nationality, and to show their
pride in it by abandoning their attitude
Of social dependence upon Great Britain.

THE TEACHERS LESSON,

Quoth he: ITO add continual to ones store
gee LITTLE grow to much and much to more,
Until ills difficult to count our treasure;
see herds Increase and acres wide expand,
AND wealth accumulate on every hand;
Or, DER the finely cultured and the coarse
Alike, to hold q sway by mental force;
To win the wonder of the gaping crowd,
Expressed by stare intense or plaudits loud
All this Is pleasurei
ITO see ones ceaseless labor thrown away,
Poorer, perchance, with every closing day,
Toiling forever with no hope of gain;
Bowed with i'll fortune and still fearing much
Living pauper, one may die as such;
Or, sowing earnest deeds to win name,
Reaping therefor crop of jeers and blame
Seeming as less than nothing to the mass,
Whose vacant gaze falls idly as they pass
All this is pain"
Quoth I: ITO aid our neighbor in his i'll,
With gladness humble homes around to I'LL
And kindness scatter with no scanty meas
ure;
To check the widows sigh and orphans tear.
TO soothe the strong mans woe and infants
fear;
Or, girdng soul and body for the fight,
To stand champion for the truth and right
Drag fraud and falsehOod to condemniul
day,
And aid in chasing ignorance away
All that IS pleasure!
ITO see the poor man in the clutch of creed
Yet have no means to aid him in his need;
To strive to check the arm of power in vain
What time it strikes the humble to the earth
To see low cunning lord it over worth,
Or, labOring constant for the common good
To find ones purposes misunderstood.
Derision being his sole reward, and those
Whom he has striven to serve leagued with
his foes
All that is pain"
Then quoth the Teacher, after hearing each
"Your selfish purpose shows itself in speech
Each in different manner seeking treas.
ure.
Learn both that he who, in his natural
sphere,
Remains content to do his duty here,
By neither avarice nor ambition swayed,
Nor by hot impulses fanatic made,
Sees in that duty we'll and truly done
The full approval of his conscience won
And that is pleasure.
'While, if he fall to grasping greed prey,
Or, envying those who states and people
sway,
Seek power and station for himself to gain
Or, striving strangers ever to befriend,
Those near neglect who on his care depend
The sense of what was due the buried past
By him unpaid, will rise uncalled at last;
Nor gold nor place will take away the sting,
Nor thanks for kindly deeds solace bring
And that is pain.''

A ROYAL HUSBAND.

Gustav Freytag's Recollections of Emperor
Frederick III.
On the evening of the 23d of August,
1870, at Ligny, I was with the Crown
Prince alone. He lay, fatigued, on his
narrow 6eld-bed, which he had put up
whenever we were quartered. Before
him on the little writingtable stood the
photographs of the Crown Princess and
his children, so that his eye could rest
upon them. He spoke at once of his
dear ones at home, of the characters of
his children, how each one of them was
developing, of his sorrows for those that
were lost. His eyes moistened, and his
face was TRANSPORTED by love and grief.
His manner was SO warm and pleasing
that it softened the listener, too.
Then he began to speak of his consort
in terms full of tender devotion. He
extoled the wealth of her knowledge
and mental capacity, to which, he said,
he had always to look up, and he Ia
mented that such woman was not ap-
preciated everywhere. One felt how
happy it made him to speak of her of
whom he was constantly thinking.
Every act Of homage, even the smallest,
done to the woman he worshiped was to
him a matter of Importance, for his
devotion and subordination to his
loved wife were absolute. This
love was the highest and hottest
thing in his life, and filed the whole
soul. She was the mistress of his youth,
the confidant of all his thoughts, his
counselor whenever she was disposed to
give counsel. The laying-out of the
grounds, the adornment of the dwelling,
the education of the children, verdicts
on persons and events-in every thing
he consulted her thoughts and wishes.
When he could not follow her wholly, or
when his Utmost soul contradicted her
demand, he was very unhappy and un-
easy. She had come to him from amid
greater circumstances; had, with rich
natural gifts, as her fathers favorite
child, drawn her intellectual equipment
from q far wider sphere of educative
material. Through happy years she had
labored with much zeal, and with great
patience, to cultivate in the soul of her
husband the interests she had at heart;
and he felt in his pure and simple breast
that what gained vitality in him was
her. work. He felt as if he had first
learned to see, to feel, to recognize the
true, to enjoy the beautiful, through
her. 1t was easy to understand that
such domination of wife over husband,
over the future ruler of Prussia, threat
ened to produce difficulties and strug-
giles, greater, perhaps, for the wife her
self, who led and elevated him to whom
it is necessity for woman to look for
guidance. - ~ s III -.

THE GRAVE GETS TIRED YAwN1SG,

Seemingly, for certain wretched invaiids
who toddle feebly along, though always
looking as if they were going to die, but
omitting to do it. They dry up, wither,
dwindle away finally, but in the meantime
never having robust health, know nothing
of the-physical enjoyment, the zest of that
existence to which they cling with such re-
markabIe tenacity. They are always to be
found trs ing to mend by tinkering at them
selves with some trashy remedy, tonic, or
'pick me up'' to give a flip to digestion,
or ''belp the live~." If such misguided
folks would resort and adhere to Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters it would be well with
ti:em. This superb invigorant supplies the
stamina that the feeble require, by perma-
nently reinforcing digestion and assi'nlla-
tion. 1t overcomes nervousness, insomnia,
malaria. kidney complaints, biliousness,
constipation, rheumatism and neuralgia.

THE SYSTEM AT FAULT,

The tax levy of Storey county, New. for
this year, is IS on the 500, and even with
this high rate no public improvements are
being made and the county is going deeper
and deeper into debt. How would the
property-owners of Salt Lake county like
to be called upon to pay tax of S. for
every hundred dollars worth of property
they owned? In this county the total
county, territorial and territorial school
tax is S1.20 on the hundred dollars, the as
SCISSORS valuation being about so per cent.
of the actual value. Were the Storey
county rate to be levied here, we can al
most imagine that the collector would find
q riot whenever he appeared on the streets.
And vet, in the face of the deplorable
showing by Nevada, see how the territories
are scrambling for statehood. They know
that the burden will be heavy if it can be
borne at all, but they cheerfully accept the
load and face bankruptcy rather than run
along as territories. North Dakota is to-
day, less than nine months from her polit-
wealth, and her governor and others are
soliciting aims for the distressed people:
the treasury is empty, the public works
are at standstill, the officials are unpaid,
and disaster is upon the community; but
If it were put to a popular vote to decide
whether they would return to territorial
government or continue as a bankrupt and
pauper state, mighty few votes would be
on the side of going back to the old order of
