An EXPLANATION of the Trouble.
THE GALLANT OLD KeARsARGe.
She Rem sp.bers the Day That She Licked
the Alabama.

New YoRS, June 2l-Twenty-six years
ago Thursday the United States ship
kearsarge, Capt John A Winslow,
whipped the Confederate steamer Ala
hama, Capt. Semmes, 50 badly that the
latter vessel, after a sixty-two minute en-
gagement, struck her colors and sank TO
the bottom of the sea. This is the reason
why the kearsarge was decked all over
with the stars and stripes Thursday as she
lay at the Cob dock in the Brooklyn navy
yard. Every year the Kearsarge cele-
brates the event,
The Guns That Did the Busins -.
The old kearsarge is not without relics
of the battle, for she still carries he old
gun that launched the fatal shot into the
Alabama's stern post, and also he gun
that crippled the enemy's bow at the
water line The former gun is lovingly
called the ~Winslow,H in honor of the
commander, and the latter the Thorn
ton, in honor of the executive officer.
The old ensign that was hoisted to the
kearsarge's truck when the battle began
now Grapes the walls of the sean anship
building at the United States Naval
academy mute emblem of patriotic
ardor upon which the youngsters gaze
aspiringly.

Sundry Civil Bill Passed by the Senate
HOnse Proceedings
WASHINGTON CITY, June 2l--A bill was
introduced in the senate yesterday appro
priating 100000 for public building at
jackson, Mich. After some other miscel-
laneous business sundry civil bill was
resumed and completed in committee of
the whole The bill being reported TO the
senate, Stewart precipitated a long
debate by moving to strike out the
item for the executive officer of the
geological survey Stewart is making
war on Maj.Powel over the irrigation
business Powell was defended by In
gals, Teller, Platt and others, while Ed
munds seemed inclined to find fault.
Stewart finally withdrew his amendment
and the bill was passed. Edmunds offered
a resolution for committee of seven to
consider the administrative service of the
senate and report plan for efficiency and
economy. The senate tnen adjourned.
The house resumed the fight over the
silver bill and after every parliamentary
resource had been exhausted in an at
tempt TO defeat the move, the journal as
amended by Mills resolution of Thursday
was approved-132 TO 100. The question
OF what should next I've considered then
came up ssn.4 Bland wanted to take I he
silver bill from the table and vote on it,
but the speaker decided that the antitrust
bill had the right of way and the
conference report thereon was adopted.
After some more debate ON the question
as to whether the silver bill would be
taken up, during which the speaker re-
fused to rule whether the bill was or was
not on the table but ruled that its consid-
alton at this time was not in order, an at
tempt to adjourn was made. but just as it
was defeated the hour of 5 o'clock ar
rived, and recess was taken TO s p m.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The depositors and
others who had business with the Park Ma

yesterday morning to find the door closed,

matter by saying that the susper sion is
the result of examination of the banks

night to the question: When 10 you

Everything indicates that the lea iers of
the rescuers are telling the truth They
do not know. The miners who ar strug-
Cling to find an opening into the Inflated
Hill Farm works are equally in ignorance
on this question with the authorities of
the furnace company. Certain it is that
the rescuers have long since eros ed the
line where they hoped to find the en-
tombed men.
Have Not Heard from the Prisoners
There have been no rappings or sound
ings. The unfortunate men have 1t been
heard from at any time or in any n amer.
All reports that the rescuers have heard
from the unfortunAtes have been without
foundation and sensational Everybody
hopes for the best. Many have con fidence
that the men will be taken out alive, but
the conditions are strongly against such
possibility. and the chances are ten to
one against the men.

Carlisle Against Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON CITY, June Ex-senator
Carlisle says he did not vote in the senate
on the final passage of the silver bill be
cause he could not conscientiously vote for
the bill as it was amended, and if anybody
can make capital out of his action in this
connection they are at liberty to do so. He
said he was aware that certain persons
were disposed to censure him because he
did not jump at the crack of the party
whip and rush headlong into the arms of
the mine owners who are anxious TO dis
pose of their products.

Contrary to their usual and innate
opposition to all that savors Of burden
or nuisance, the Farmers Alliance
haYecome out in favor of prohibition and
annual sessions Of the legislature. That
they should unknowingly or unwilling
" be opposed to high license, is easy
enough to see; it seems a tax to them,
although they get just as much for their
money as they ever did; but that they
should clamor for more frequent ses-
sions of a law-making body, that draws
big salaries while accomplishing but
little that,is good, is a few degrees too
hard to solve. It doesn't seem like
economy to say the least.
Lieut.. Gov. Rice has expressed his
positive determination to retire from
public Office and get out from the dizzy
whirl of political preferment. This is
too bad. The Lieut.. Governor is cap
able and deserving servant of the state,
and had Of late entertained hopes that
he might some day rise in position and
influence. He.seems set in his intentions
however and has given up all banker
ing after the governors chair or even a
seat in congress. To either Of these he
would bring an unusal amount Of abili-
ty, and it is really too bad that he will
not permit himself to grace them. The
state, not Rice, will be the loser.

There is too much effort made in
these times to change existing laws
and get new ones. The practice is q
bad one. A better course would be to
take more pains to pass only good laws
in:the first place. As a general rule we
are too reckless about the selection Of
our legislators, and too easily satisfied
with something, concerning which we
will later ON change our mind. We
must earn to move with more careful
attention to the probable effects OF a
measure and in a more judicious course,
SO as to avoid failure or disaster.

Speaking OF the efforts to secure for
Clifton Holden new trial, the Lander.
ton Leader argues thus: Let's see.
Holden had q fair and impartial trial,
did he not, and was found guilty by
twelve of his fellow men. His case
was taken to the Supreme Court and a
new trial refused. All this talk about
what certain men now claim to know,
las but little effect on nine-tenths of
the people. If Holden's friends-for
such they now claim to be knew these
matters, that. if true, tend to prove his
innocence, why have they been so long in
coming forward with it? It looks to
us like a ciean-cut sympathy racket,
and it won t 'sdown' with most people.
There's altogether too much mawkish
sentiment and sentimental siush over
red-handed murderers, nowadays,
and the quicker people frown 1t down,
the better for the enforcement of our
laws and the safety Of homes and hui
man life. Please don't place a prem
ium on crime. or become a band OF
Hero Worshipers'' for some villain,
whose hands are stained with the blood
Of his fellow-man. Make crime q mon

of $3.50, 900 bushels of No. / hard seed
wheat at the disposal Of the state for
distribution among the farmers. The
bait was an alluring one, but the mem
