RUSHING REPAIRS.

The Western Union Displays Its Energy
and Enterprise.
NEW York, July 2O.-The Western Union
company is proving to be a great corpora
tion and possesses energy and enterprise.
The building at the corner of Broadway and
Dey streets presents the appearance of a
bee hive. A small army of workmen are en-
gagged in repairing the damage done Fri
day. Never before has the Western Union
been confronted by such condition. Not
one of the 1890 wires running into the
building could be used. The fire out, the
immense energy of the corporation began
to assert itself. Offices are established all
about the city and the great system is worked
without a central point. All through the night
a force of men have been busy clearing the
water and debris from the building. A
force of linemen went up and down the
poles and fitted about the streets with Ian
ALI through the night miles of wire were
stretched and instruments attached, which

An Open Question Whether or Not It viii
BE Passed.
There are no further indications as to
what the course of the senate will be with
respect to the election bill. Everything
has settled down now to the conclusion that
it will be necessary to dispose of the appro-
priations bills and of the tariff bill before
the election bill shall be brought up. The
contrary had been the original plan, but
owing to the circumstances which have oc-
Cured during the last week it is now abso-
lutely certain that the tariff bill will be dis
posed of befor he election bill will be con-
sidered. Meanwhile the discussion of the
tariff bill will bring back to Washington
most of the absentee senators and it will be
possible then for the republicans to deter
mine what it is expedient for them to attempt
to do, and what it will be possible for them
to do. Meanwhile, notwithstanding, the
decision has been reached by the great ma
jority of those who are here, that at the ap-
propriate time they will proceed with the
election bill, and will change the rules in
order to enable them to do so. It is not as
yet to be considered certain that that ia the
policy which the republicans will adopt.
some time must necessarily elapse before
the discussion of the tariff bill shall have
been completed. It is impossible at this
time to state what the views of the repub-
lican senators will be after the tariff bill
shall have been disposed of. If four weeks
are to be devoted to that bill, or six weeks
as some of the members say, the first of Sep
tember will be at hand almost before the
consideration of the election bill shall have
then entered upon. It, under those circum-
stances, will be for the republicans to de-
termine whether or not they will hold this
session in congress in practically continu-

therefore. the caucus decision of the repub-
licans is to proceed with the election bill

that the subject of the consideration of that
measure, as we'll as the time of adjourn
ment, are still in abeyance.

A Certain critical Fallacy.

The Truth is that the current criticism
whose shibboleths are romanticism and
realism has got into the polemic stage
which is the same thing as saying
that it has ceased to be criticism. Crit
icism is mainly an affair of analysis and
classification. These afford it ample
scope, and dealing successfully with
them confers abundant dignity. To de-
cry Scott or exalt Mr.. Rider Haggard is
to be the slave of an abstraction, than
which nothing is less critical. 1t may
be useful by way Of shocking the illit-
crate and inattentive into comprehen-
sion OF your position, but it is not criti-
cism, because your eye is not on the
object, but on your position. which also.
in this case, is hopelessly outside the
circle of operations of true contempt
rary strategy. The realistic controver-
sialists arc especially slow to perceive
this. Not only are they singularly blind
to the success of their own party among
the novelists, whose material Is exclu-
sively human life and character (how
else explain their heat?), but they seem
to insist that every one who deals with
fiction at all should deal exclusively
with this material -Scribner.

EXTRACTING TEETH.

Hints That should Bc Borne In Mind
Under Some Conditions.
The extraction of teeth is usually ac-
companied by a. slight flow of blood,
which ordinarily ceases before the pa
tient quits the dentists Office. Where
this is not the case, or where the
hemorrhage breaks out afresh when
medical advice is not at hand, it should
be borne in mind that the first and
most natural check is the clotting OF
the blood in the cavity, and this should
not be disturbed. II it is necessary to
rinse the mouth, let it be done very
carefully, so as not to dislodge the clot,
If one is forming. Where this does not
occur, the first recourse should be to an
astringent, and tannin is the best OF all.
n that is not at hand, fine powdered
alum will answer very well, burnt cork
may be sprinkled over the surface, or a
little ball of spiders web. lightly
pressed into the wound, may answer the
purpose when other means fail, as this
pest of every housekeeper is an inval-
liable styptic. In addition to these, q
compress may be necessary, and an
article which will answer all purposes
may be made for an emergency by cut
ting v-shaped slit in cork OF the
right dimensions to pass over the
wounded gum. This may be lightly
pressed into place by the teeth OF the
other jaw, and as it is applied a pledget
of lint or similar dressing may proper
ly be fitted to the cavity, though often
the compress alone will prove efectual.
1t is useful, also in such cases, to main
tain an erect position of the patient,
either sitting or standing. Warm foot
baths are also helpful, with friction OF
the lower limbs. to divert the blood
from the head as much as practicable.
These directions and suggestions apply,
of course, to such occasions as require
