come embittered, and he is now proba-
bly, the only man possessed OF . repu-
tation who would attempt to lead the
faction in the Senate that is seeking to
force the passage of such a measure.
Mr.. Hoar's argument was not only weak.
but 1t was weakly put, and utterly failed
to hold the attention of the large audi
ence that had gathered to hear MIN.
The fact that the State once repre-
!ented by Webster, and afterward by
Sumner and Wilson, should now be
represented In the Senate by Dawes
and Hoar, is one of the worst signs of
the degeneracy brought about by mar
row partisanship. Mr.. Hoar has never
been noted for any high order of in
tellectual ability. He is querulous
and some what ridiculous person, whose
appearance naturally suggests to the
caricaturist the feminine night cap in
which the Senator usually figures in
the cartoons There was nothing to be
said for him except that he was eui-
nently respectable and not likely to be
carried away by wild crazes or to be.
come the tool of corruptionists. Since
this can no longer be said the humilia.
ton of Massachusetts is complete
As an argument in favor of the force
bill, Mr.. Hoar's speech amounted to
actually nothing. 1t was repetition
of the old cries of fraud without even
an attempt to show that the pending
| measure can accomplish any thing
| where similar measures had utterly
failed in the past. 1t probably changed

M.KIh.ev AND MILLS.

Racta Which the Republican Organ
Grinders should Not Forget.
Republican journalists should take .
few lessons from the exemplars of plan
tation manners in the South. The
treatment, for instances, of Mr.. Mills by
the average journalist Of the North is a
discredit not to Mr.. Mills but to North
ern journalism Take, for instance, the
following paragraph from reputable
Brooklyn paper:
1.-The wanderings OF Mr.. Mills, OF Texas, on
the stump, preaching what he is pleased to
term tarin reform and paying thrilling tribute
to Columbia while he denounces the force bill
are, II considered from the humorous stand
point, funny. But he is a very serious man.
There is reason to believe that he believes in
himself great deal, and has not faith that the
country can get along without him Mr.. Mills
must have something large concealed In the
back parl,r of his mind"
The Democratic party has nothing to
be ashamed of in having chosen Mr..
Mills as chairman of the ways and
means committee. The measure which
he introduced and the methods by
which that bill was advocated, ex-
planned and defended suffer at no point
in comparison with the record made by
the republicans in dealing with the
same subject under the direction of Mr..
Mckinley, of Ohio.
The Mills bill united the Democratic
party. The Mckinley bill divided the
Republican party.
The Mills bill reduced taxation; the
Mckinley bill increases taxation.
The Mills bill was drawn in behalf OF
| the masses; the Mckinley bill is bill
for the exclusive benefit of classes.
! The Mills bill put binding Irvine and
cotton ties upon the free list; the Nc
Kinley bill taxes both of these.
The Mills bill struck at the very prin-
| ciple of trusts and com binations; the
Mckinley bill fosters trusts and subsi
dies rings.
The Mills bill embodies the principles
of liberty Of action, liberty of exchange,
and accords with the spirit of moderr
life. The Mckinley bill is a reminis
cence of the Middle Ages and embodie:
| all of the absurd restrictions and false
economic doctrines of the colonial sys
TENS of European Governments two
three or four hundred years ago.
The people believe In Mills and il
the Mills bill. In his speeches in Con
gress and in his addresses throughout
the country, Mr.. Mills has shown him
self to be master of his subject; earn
est, aggressive, but courteous ant
thoroughly sincere.
Mr.. Mckinley palters in doubl
sense; his speeches lack force, distinct
ness and fairness. In dealing with hi
subject there is a narrowness of view
bigotry, blindness that carries him
his measures and his party to defeat.
The Republican press can no longe
deceive the people in this respect The
have tried to make a great man of MI
Mckinley and to belittle the characte
and attainments of Mr.. Mills. But it i
beyond the power of the press to max
great men. They come to the bar @
public opinion to be judged and whe

nous. and only to be made on horseback
Before leaving his nephew. however, he
gave him much sound advice on the fol-
1y of wasting his time in study when
the times demanded men of action in
arms or politics. He had no doubt. he
said, that he could easily obtain for his
young relative civil appointment I'M
der the provincial government, or
commission in the British army-the
former being in his mind preferable as
it afforded opportunities of lucrative
preferment. Selwyn promised to give
the matter thoughtful consideration and
to devote more attention to public
affairs, with which the baronet had to
content himself, and departed with the
belief that his nephew would soon real
ize the value of his prudent counsels.
No sooner had the sound of his horses
hoofs died away in the distance than
Selwyn summoned the Indian boy and
began to interrogate him about his
master, the condition of the fort, and
the military aspect on the frontier. The
conversation would have been attended
with much difficulty if the answers were
conveyed in the mute language of signs,
of which Selwyn was ignorant, but

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.

Ingenious Contrivances For Which the
World Is Indebted to the Fair Sex.
It was a California woman who in
vented baby carriage. which Melted
her $50, 900; while to Mrs Catharine
Greene, the wife and widow of Wash
ington's ablest officer. is due the honor
of inventing the cotton gin, which is
one of those distinctively American in
ventions, the value and importance of
which have been recognized by the
whole Industrial world. A horseshoe
machine, which turns out completed
shoes, was the invention of a woman;
also the reaper and mower. the ideas of
which came into the brain of Mrs Ann
Manning, of Plainfeld, n. J., to whom
is also accredited clover cleaner. Mrs.
Manning seems to have slim ulated the
inventive genius of her neighbors, for a
few years after her reaper and mower
was patented Mrs Elizabeth Smith, of
the same State. took out a patent for an
improvement on the machine, being a
device for changing the knives without
stopping the wheels
One of the most complicated machines
ever made is that for the manufacture
of REINFORCED bottom paper bags. 1t is
so curiously ingenious that how it was
contrived passes the ordinary com pre-
hension. 1t was the invention of Miss
Maggie Knight, who, from it and other
inventions in the same line, realized a
large fortune. A street-sweeper of great
merit was devised and patented by a
New York lady, who had a costly dress
ruined by the mud splashed on it by a
defective machine
Most remarkable of all is the inven-
ton of Mrs Mary B. Walton for deaden-
ing the sound of car wheels She lived
near the elevated railroad in New York.
and was greatly annoyed by the sound
of the roaring trains passing her house.
The most noted machinists and invent
ors of the country had given their at

able to furnish solution, when 10, a

TELEGRAPHS m CHINA.

Soon There Will BE Direct Communication
Between Pekin and Europe.
The first telegraph in China was built
in 1856 during war in Formosa- The
Viceroy of the province of Fuh-Keen
ordered the construction of line of
telegraph from Pagoda Island to Foo
chow-Foo. The Government dissp-
proved of this plan and made several
attempts to Illustrate the undertaking.
but as the Ministers from foreign coun-
tries in Pekin insisted upon the fulfill
ment of the contract with the telegraph
company the line was finished There
was considerable opposition on the part
OF the people in the innovation, but this
was gradually dispelled Now, the tele-
graph has been gradually extended, un-
til its use is common in a very large
part of the kingdom There is line
between Pekin and Tentsin, and also
one connecting the capital with the
principal places in Mantchuria and ex-
tending up the Russian frontier on the
Amoor and the Ussuri rivers All the
seven treaty ports on the Yangtse river.
also all the principal cities of the en-

and with the capital The line from
Canton westerly has been pushed to
Yunnan-fu, the capital of the province
of Yunnan, near the borders of Burmah.
Lines have also been constructed be-
tween Foo-chow and Canton. and be-
tween Port Arthur and the capital of
Corea. and the line along the Yangtse
valley has been extended far into the

figures to show that the voters of the
United States could not be coerced I'm.
der his proposed statute, because there
are not regular soldiers enough in the
country to furnish sufficient detail to
overawe electors at every polling place.
But what's the matter, Mr.. Lodge,
with enlisting an extra hundred thou
sand men or so, to make sure that no
vote be cast except at the point of the
bayonet? Such a plan would suit the
imperialists mighty we'll It would
mean more money to be spent more
positions to be filled, more fat contracts
to be given ont and a shorter and
| quicker road for the universal dcEnina-

It would not be even necessary to in
crease the regular army, but only to pro-
vide for the employment and uniform
of deputy marshals at the sweet will OF
Davenport & Co. That would be glori.

hire men enough to elect anybody any

| A curious feature about this argument
of Lodge is his cool assumption that

agination has taken no such flight We

Federal power would be needed to in
