tire South in the next Republican ma
tional presidential convention. The bill
was intended to promote the industry of
making contested election cases. 1t
was intended to prevent elections in
many of the districts of the country.
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, favored the bill,
and asked, if gentlemen from the South
were in
Favor of Honest Elections,
what danger did they see in this meas
ure? Was it curse to insist upon a
fair election in Georgia or any other
Southern state? Mr. Chapman, of Mich
igan. made a constitutional argu-
ment against the bill. Mr.. Bur
rows, of Michigan, closed the
general debate. He said that
when the popular vote was tempered
with, representative government eX-
listed but in name. If there was any,
thing in the bill that OverStepped the
bounds of the constitution let it be
stricken out: but let all stand together
in maintaining free ballot and fair
lie. He could forgive a man who, in
the hour of passion, or the hour of revo-
luton, fired on the flag; but that man
who crawled to the ballot box where re-
posed the latest-born offspring of the
sovereign and took its life was an as
sassin. He wantod to pass measure
which would proclaim to the people
that the government had at last made
true the declaration of the martyred
Lincoln, that this was government of
the people, by the people and
for the poodle. Consideration of the
election bill was suspended to allow
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. to report from
the appropriations committee a joint
resolution providing temporarily thirty
days. for the expense Of the govern
ment. MIR. Lodge, of Massachusetts,. on
behalf of the committee in charge of
the election bill, submitted number of
amendments, mainly formal in their
character, which were agreed to. Mr..
Lehlbach, of New Jersey, Rep, offered
an amendment providing that the chief
supervisor for every judicial district
shall take such action as is requisite to
secure such provision in each congress
sional district as is provided by the law
of the United States. He stated that
the object of his amendment was to
make the law uniform Throughout the
whole country. Mr.. Rowell, of Illinois,
opposed the amendment, declaring that

tory system of supervision. After con-
siderable discussion of the amendment,
the house. without acting upon it, took
recess until o'clock.

was opposed in speeches by Messrs.

Pink Snow in Colorado.

Kansas City Journal.
Quite curious phenomenon was re-
ported yesterday in a letter to c. S.
Cooper, secretary and treasurer of the
Monte Cristo Mining company, of
Aspen, Col, who is in the city looking
out for the interests of his company.
The letter is dated April 1, and de-
scribes a heavy fall of pink snow"
The phenomenon was witnessed and
described by a couple of gentlemen
we'll known to the recipient of the
letter, who vouches for their YER
acity. They are pPospectors, and had
been working in their tunnel at Maroon
Gulch, near Aspen, the day before the
letter was written. and on emerging
into the open air at p. m. found the
sky beautiful red. They thought a
great storm was approaching, but in
few minutes snow Of adelicate pink hue
commenced falling. Ere long every
thing was covered with pink snow
about an inch deep, and this remained
until the next day, when it was covered
with white snow. The solution OF this
strange phenomenon, as suggested by
the writers, is that the snow falls
through myriads of pink-colored insects
that exist there in great numbers, and
that the snow takes its color from con-
tact with them

Intelligence in Babies.

Boston Transcript.
The Listener may mention the case
of fond mother of his acquaintance
who has a remarkable baby who. the
mother insists. says "Mamma's little
girl" so distinctly that anybody in the
world could make it out. And this is the
way, exactly, that the baby an
nounces it:
Hubble, hubble, lubble!"
This is not nearly such plain English
as friend of the Listeners, now man
and an honest and able one, who. when
he was two years old. mystitied the
members of his family by calling out in
the imperative mood:
'sBixit. baxit, cloXit!"
All gathered round and tried hard to
make out what the youngster meant.
But the most definite statement that
they could get out of Him was "BiXit,
baxit. cloxitr' AT last, by dint, of a
good deal of pantomime, the child got
them into the pantry, and indicated a
particular place in it, and then his re-
mark translated itself to them. What
he meant to say was: Il want bis
cult, in the basket. in the closet."

Everything Else Ready for I'm
yelling the Hendricks Statue.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 30.-Every-
thing but the weather is in readiness
for the unwilling of the Hendricks
statue tomorrow. The finishing polish
has been given to the pedestal, the last
nails driven into the grand stand, and,
with the exception of flag here and
there, the decoration of the center of
the city has been completed. Only the
weather, the only feature over which
the local committee has no control, re-
mains in doubt. The thunder storm of
midday gave temporary relief by send
but it soon went back to its old figures,
and with it came humidity of the
atmosphere that was more oppressive
and more to be feared than the scOrch

Time and Capital in Silk Dress.
Boston Journal of Commerce.


The Chicago Times says that to pro-
duce sufficient silk to make dress re-
auires more time and capital than most
people would imagine. If we take one
and quarter pounds as the weight of
pure silk required, this would be equal
to two pounds of raw silk. To produce
two pounds of raw silk would re-
ouire the entire silk obtained from
1000 to 5000 worms, allowing a per-
centage for death by disease and other
casualties. It may be interesting to
state that these young worms, when
newly Matched, would scarcely weigh
one-quarter of an ounce; and yet. in the
course of their life, which only lasts
thirty to thirty-fve days, they will
consume about 800 to 400 pounds of
leaves. and increase In weight about
900 times. Consumers of silk
will not wonder at its high value when
thew consider that to raise two pounds
of raw silk so much time and money are
required. Besides the original cost of
the eggs or young worms, they require
feeding at regular intervals daily with
mulberry leaves, and consume the above
weight of leaves during their lives. This
is a large item of expense if the cultlva-
tor does not grow and gather his own
leaves, but is compelled to purchase
them.
