United States Commissioner for the arrest

perate character. W. D. Martin, of Big

THE HOUSE..

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The house,
after transacting the usual amount of
routine morning business, resumed con-
sideration of the Idaho admission bill.
Mr.. Stewart, of Vermont, spoke in sup
port of the bill, and denounced the
teachings of the Mormon church. The
constitution of Idaho was in the line of
the Edmunds bill and was for the same
purpose. to-wit: the extirpation Of a
great public evil.
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, said that the
majority of the committee on territories
had seen fit to frame the Idaho bill in
such way as to secure partisan legisla,
ton, instead of the proper legislation to
bring state into the union. The mi
nority would offer an amend
ment providing that a new con-
vention should be held and
the constitution submitted to vote of
the people of the territory, as had been
done in the case of Dakota, Montana and
Washington. The amendment required
the Edmunds-Tucker test oath to be
taken by every person voting upon the
constitution.
The bill was then passed, yeas 129,
nays the Democrats refraining from
voting and the speaker counting quo
rum.
The Democrats say they intend to
make this test case and to have the
courts pass upon the constitutionality Of
the rules allowing Inc speaker to count
a quorum. 1t had been Intended to
make one of the contested election cases
a test case. but as this could be done only
by a suit for salary brought in the court
of claims, this course was abandoned
and the present action decided upon.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Ths house
considered and passed five private PEN
sion bills coming over from last Friday
nights session, and then went into COM
mittee of the whole on the civil calsn-
dar. The bill for the allowance of cer-
tain claims for stores and supplies used
by the United States army under the
provisions of the Bowman act, was dis
cussed at length, mainly on points of
order. Pending action on the bill, the
committee rose and the house, at 5 p. M,
took recess until 8 o'clock, the night
session to be a consideration Of private
pension bills.
WAsHINeToN, April 8.-Mr. Morrill,, of
Kansas, moved to suspend the rules and
pass with a substitute) the senate blu
granting pensions to soldiers and sailors
who are incapacitated from the perform
ance of labor and providing for pensions
to widows and minor children and de-
pendent parents. Tt was estimated that
the senate bill would require an annual
of $38, 0O0, 900 and the house
substitute would require $50, 000, 900 an
nually. The house refused to suspend
the rules and pass the senate bill with a
house substitute therefor. The vote |
1859, nays 81, not the neces-
sary two thirds vote in the affirmative. |
A motion to suspend the rules and
pass bill increasing Surgeon General
Hamilton's salary from $4,000 to $4,000 |
was lost.
The house then went into committee |
of the whole on the naval appropriation
bill, and pending consideration adj
journed.

"Dear Mr.. Kennan-When this reaches
you I shall be in prison." This is the
beginning of letter that Nine. Mary
Tsebrikova sent to George w. KEENAN,,
in America, just before she forwarded to
the czar the petition for which she is ex-
lied to Siberia. With the letter to Ken
nan was copy of the petition. It was
eloquent beyond most appeals for JUS
tice, asking the car to give his people
free speech, free press and parlia-
ment. It did not contain suggestion
Of threat. 1t was, as KEENAN, says, ga
frank, earnest but temperate and per-
fectly respectful petition for liberty, JUS
tice and the redress of wrongs" Yet
for this Nine. Tsebrikova, a gifted, pat
riotic woman, past forty years of age, is
doomed to the horrors of Siberia. Small
wonder that Alexander III is victim of
melancholia. The only wonder is that
he is not maniac. What the end of

Jugman Loot, devout Pennsylvania
Dutchman, died lately and left his family
by will house to live in and $50, 900 in
government bonds, on condition that they
lead godly lives, avoid the use of tobacco
and liquor of all kinds, including cider.
1t is question whether the will of a
Pennsylvania Dutchman who prohibited
the use of cider could not be broken on
the ground that the testator was of un-
sound mind,

Genial Gen. Robert Schenck lived to
be past so years old, largely because he
was SO kindly and good natured. He
will go down to posterity chiefly as the
man who taught Europeans the Ameri-
can game of poker. Yet he had much
more solid claim to be remembered than
that. In his book, Twenty Years of
Congress" Blaine says that no man in
congress during the present generation
rivaled Gen. Schenck as five minute
debater. His example is certainly to be
commended to the congressman of our
time who take three days to make q
speech.

Street Lamps.

The BULLETIN Is not in favor Of
making unnecessary improvements
in our village, or Of pursuing any
course except that of true economy /;
but at the same time it is often Of the
highest Importance that certain pub
lie improvements should be made so
that the village may maintain the en-
viable reputation it has so long had
among neighborinS towns. There
fore we contend that by Introducing
street lamps on our business streets
and other prominent points, an I'm
provement would be made which
would not only be of great conven-
fence to our citizens Of dark night,
and more especially to strangers in
town, but would do much toward adj
vertising the village and giving it q
name abroad for enterprise and pro-
gress.
We cannot state positively the ex-
pense of the lamps and putting them
up, but the expense of the oil can be
estimated easily, and so with the
lighting of them. Twelve lamps
would be sufficient, and allowing that
each lamp burned a pint of oil, it
would require six quarts of oil every
night the lamps are lighted. Of
course on moonlight nights lights
would not be needed. The oil can be
purchased by the quantity at about
Is cents per gallon, making the ex-
pense for oil about twenty cents
night. This divided among 200 tax
payers would make the amount of
tax each Individual would have to
pay SO small that we haven't time, to
figure it out. Someof our mathema-
ticians can5if they choose. Possibly
itnixht cost each taxpayer 20 cents
a yeat. Why, it is worth more than
that to have light to see the way
home almost any dark night that
person may have occasion to walk
from one part of the town to the
other.
THE BULLETIN is most decidedly
in favor of introducing lamps on our
prominent streets; and now that we
receive 5000 more for license this year
than formerly, we can afford to make
more improvements-necessary inn
provements, we macmillan we have
made during some previous years.

members may think well Of the pro-
position.
It is gratifying to the editor to
know that our citizens generally are
pleased with THE BULLETIN. They
can do much toward making 1t inter
esting by sending in personals and
local items to A. J. Erickson or H. J.
Dresser; and our business men who
take an interest in Its success, should
not forget that they can render ma
terIal aid and benefit themselves at
the same time by advertising their
goods and wares. We have already
secured fair share of advertising
patronage, for which we are thankful;
but of course we would like to have
more, and then we would be still
more thankful.
We would suggest to the street SUI
pervisor that our streets might be inn
proved by hauling on gravel, cleaning
out the cutters and raising the grade
of the streets, so that in wet time
team can drive through town without
getting mired. Good gravel can be
had within one mile of the village,
making the expense of hauling light,
and we can see no good reason why
this proposed Improvement should
not be carried out. Surely there is no
Improvement that adds more to the
appearance of town than good
streets. 1t shows that the people are
progressive and that they have
pride in making their town attractive.
Strangers coming to town and finding
poor streets, naturally come to the
conclusion that the place does not
amount to much. Hancock can have
good streets at small expense; then
why not have them?
