TEE CAN'T BLOCKED.
Just before the House adjourned several
Of the Republicans tried TO make an ar
10 "sneak" a few OF the more
pressing bills of this character through.
including a bill for st. Paul that the Sen
ate passed. but which is not on the above
list. The Democrats got wind Of the little
game ana declared that unless there was
fair division none of the tled-up measures
should be passed The Republicans were
minus a quorum, and they could not have
their way. They did not care to make
deal because that would have let through
tho Kansas CITY bill that Representative
Tarsnev renamed here all through the last
months Of the session TO watch. Kansas
CITY Is going TO send back a Democrat 10
Congress, and the Republicans for that
reason did not propose TO let the bill pass.
no BILLS SHOULD PASS.
Mr.. Tarsney was in a position 70 say, how
ever, that no bills should pass If Kansas
City was not in the deal. Representative
SDIder stated 10 the Speaker and the Re
managers generally that If his
bin failed he would also probably fan TO
be reelected, and the Republican leaders
said. so il is stated. that it could not be
helped. They would have TO pass other
large bills if st. Paul was given chance,
and therefore tho whole batch had to be
carried over TO the winter session.
JUSTICE MILLER A DOCTOR.
Itmay interest young lawyers not familiar
with the career of Justice Miller, of the
Supreme Court. who was yesterday stricken
down, to know that he was for ten years
Dracticlng physician in his native State OF
Kentucky before he dec 'ded 20 commence
the study of law. lie was what If gene
rally termed a country doctor, and he rode
horseback all over several of the counties
i'm Kentucky. He was born at Richmond,
III that State, which is the home OF Con-
gresham McCreary. VINO recently made a
speech for the Democrats at Hanover
Hon. ID. Il. Francis. the bril-
liant Young Governor of Missouri at pres
ent. was also born and reared at klch-
mond. Ky.. and Congress Hatcn,
Bland. and Stone, of the Missouri delega-
tion. were all born close TO the spot where
Justice Miller first saw the lgnt OF day.
THE OLDEST JUSTICE.
Justice Miller Is generally ranked rs per-
hans the greatest jurist in the United
States. He has been twenty-eght years
member OF the Supreme Court, ana mas
served longer than any Of the Justices now
ON that bench. He Is a strong partisan IN
politics. and became thoroughly saturated
with Rcpublcanism while. residing IN the
Northwest. The only stain upon his ca
reer Is his participation in the eight-to-
seven business when he was a member OF
the Electoral Commission that declared
Rutherford b. Hayes TO have been elected
President of the United States.
THE APATHY DISEASE.
4 North Carolina Democrat now in the
CITY saws that he fears the Democratic
campaign managers IN his state Will suffer
from oyer-confdeuce inregard TO the legis-
lative ticket. and he thinks this danger
sbould be pointed out all along the line,
os tho various tickets that have been put
in the field will likely complicate. the
situation in some of the counties where
trouble is least expected. The congress
sionaI canvass this same gentleman
regards as being splendidly conduct
ed and he is of the opinion that
the Republicans Will not elect more
than one of their candidates for Congress
this wear. and if any Republican gets
through 1t will be Mr.. Ewart, OF the Ashe-
VILE district. He however. Will have a
hard fight, and it will be necessary for hlm
TO hustle il he beats the Democratic noml-
nee this time. The negro district of North

to the fact that within the past two years
so many thousands of negroes have lett the
state, and the departures have been
heaviest from that district.
WANT THEIR PAY.
Supervisors Young of Petersburg and
WINFIELD IF Hanover Courthouse, who
came here Yesterday, are said TO have made
the visit in order TO see about their pay
and that of the enumerators in the dis
tr;cts who have not yet had q settlement
with the Census Office.
A sToRY on JULIUS CESAR BURROWS.
The recent killing of Rube Burrows, the
noted Alabama outlaw, train-rObDer, muir.
derer and desperate generally, brings 70
mind n story that Private John Allen.

rooms of the House last winter when
Congress assembled. 1t seems that Julius
Cesar Burrows. the Kalamazoo screameI
nj NIichiran. who last year stumped Var
ginia in the interest of Malone for Gov
ernor. was in the gr0op OF statesmen wher
Allen entered. The humorous man from
NIississippi saw his opportunity TO have
little fun at the expense Of the Kalamazoo
