PLANTATION MANNERS.

There have been many discreditablc
scenes in the history Of the National House
of Representatives, scenes marked 10y the
most brutal language and conduct, hut
there have been few more disreputable than
that which occurred on Monday in the
course Of the debate on the tariff. Repre-
sentative Grosyenor, of Ohio, deliberately
charged the Democratic members of the
WAYS and Means Committee Of which Mr..
Mills was the distinguished chairman, with
having yielded to the application Of lmlro-
per influences in connection with the sugar
schedule embodied in the bill bearing Mr..
Mills name. II was a most unjustilabic
and groundless accusation originating in a
spirit of reckless insensibility and very
properly and naturally aroused the indiena-
ton of Mr.. Mills, who was most directly
concerned. He Immediately denounced il
as a faseh00d. and. in doing So, carried
with him the sympathy Of all the Demo
cratic members, and a very large proper
ton of the Republicans.
Mr., Mckinley was especially c0nspicu-
Gus i'm sustaining the denial of Mr.. Mills.
Mr.. Grosyenor, on the other hand, content
ed himself with charging Mr.. Mills with in
diligence in what he termed ''plantati0u
manners" a vague expression intended as
reprOach, but which under these crcum-
stances, will be accepted by most persons
as the manners Of honorable men
who are prompt TO resent any rcilcc-
ton upon their personal characters.
Probably more inaccurate reply
was never returned. In Mr.. Gro,-
yenor's mind it was plain that "plantation
manners" included everything that was
coarse and violent in personal bearing
but he must he extremely callous im his own
disposition if he supposed that so grave a
charge as that which he advanced would b.
allowed to pass without immediate contra
diction, and contradiction suggested by Tho
urgency Of the case.
The whole scene was but a fair example
of the trying circumstances to which the
Tempe and discretion of the Southern mem
bers of Congress are 50 often exposed. in
their intercourse with their Republican as
sociates. That their general conduct is
marked by such exceptional prudence and
self-control shows how well fitted they are To-
represent the constituencies to which they
belong.

II is some satisfaction 10 know that this
haste cannot have the approval OF 'he
American people at large. The bill is being
pushed forward SO rapidly in order mat u
may escape large part Of that popular
criticism which Il would, under o'her en-
cumstauccs, excite, but this unsecmiy pre-
clpitation will in itself make an uniaVor-
able impression on the public mind, an I'M
preston that will he dcepened by the bold
and powerful attack upon the bill made D!

cIc Premier Crispi aud His wife,

The Italian Premier Crispi, when ne first
became prominent in diplomatic life, found
that his wife was coldly received. This, he
found, was caused because hc had only con.
tracted religious marriage with her, a
civil ceremony being also considered neces-
sary. lie seized the first occasion TO send
word 10 the Queen that il his wife was
snnbbcd at court he would declare Re-
public. The snub did not come.

cattle, whose hides we have found,
from data covering number of years,
average, say, fifty pounds, for which
the farmer would receive on to-day's
market about 50. IL the farmer gets
the benefit of the 10 per cent. advance,
which. however, We will not admit,
he would reap an advantage OF 30
cents per year from this increase In
the value of hides. When he came to
pay for footwear for his family, for
harness and other expenditures for
leather goods, the 80 cents would
quickly be lost in the advanced prices
of these articles, demanded as the
result of the tariff"
The memorialists very sensibly sug-
gest that instead Of attempting to
benefit the farmers in this absurd way
it would be much wiser TO give the
products of the farmer greater pur-
chasing power by taking away the
protective duty on such articles as
farmers buy in exchange for their
DrOduct"

BoOk-Teaching of Science.

once visited a large high school,
one of the best in the country, with a
science teacher whose studies have
won him the respect of his fellow
workers. But for some reason, on
that day at least, he failed to bring
his own knowledge into the classroom.
/ heard him Quizzing a class of boys
and girls on animalS-not on the an
imals of the woods and fields, not on
the animals before them, for there
were none, but on the edentates of
South America. An especial point
was to find out whether tits the nine
banded armidillO (nOremcintns) or the
three banded armadillo (tricinursl

the ground for its nest. The
book, written by man who did not

was in the lesson, and the students
must get it. And on this and like
subjects these boys were wasting
their precious time-precious because,
If they do not learn to observe in their
youth. they will never learn, and the
horizon of their lives will be always
narrower and darker than it should
have been. Already the work of that
day is a blank. They have forgotten
the nine banded armadillO and the
three banded, SO has their teacher,
and so have |. All that remains
with them is a mild hatred of the ar
madillO and the edentateS in general,
and feeling of relief at being no long
er under their baleful iniluene. But
with this usually goes the determine
lirn never to study zoology again.
And when these students later come
to the college, they know no more
about science and its methods than
they did when at the age of one year
they first cried for the moon From

Gov. Hill, in vetoing the Sexton bill
of the New York legislature, by which
it was proposed to establish the Aus
tralian voting system in that state,
has made a mistake. 1t is not because,
as he says, the New York election laws
are not among the best in the country
as they are, and that the new system
would unjustly disfranchise great
many voters, but because it places him
in the attitude of opposition to cleo
tion reform, which the whole country
is demanding, and which, as far as
hitherto tried, has invariably resulted
beneficially to the Democratic party.

Murat Halstead, who so long has
been a power in Ohio as well as Ma
tional politics, as editor of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, has retired
from the editorial control of that
journal and moved to New York.
During the last campaign or two he is
accused of having made grave mis-
takes, leading to the defeat of the Re
publican party in Ohio as well as to
such loss of patronage to the paper
itself, that its income ceased to cover
expenses. The stockholders, there
fore, asked him to retire. 1t is said

The South Ottawa & VermilliOn
River Gravel Road should be con-
demned by the board Of supervisors.
AS long as stock company controls it

be a detriment to the interests of the
city OF Ottawa, and it should not be
said of La Sale county that 1t con-
tains q foot of toll road, especially a
road running to the county seat.
The majority of the stockholders
want the road condemned, with the
expectation that the county board will
purchase 1t and pay one-half the cost
price, or about $1,000. The towns OF
Ottawa and South Ottawa could pay
the other One-half. Whether the COM
pany's valuation is fair one would
be a question TO be considered here
after.
There is no question but that OF
tawa would be benefited by this trans
fer. Many farmers living south of
this city take their grain and produce
to Streator rather than pay toll and
bring 1t to Ottawa. 1t is an outrage
to make men pay for coming into a
city to trade, and the sentiment OF
the community is expressed when 1t

The old saying, March coming in a
lion will go out lamb" don't seem to
hold this year. March came in roar
ing and clustering enough, but his
exit is equally leonine. Nor is this a
case of ''winter lingering in the lap of
spring." rather it is case where win
ter and spring have changed gar
ments, the winter months wearing
vernal green and spring shivering
white. But March always was a
tickle month. The day opening balmy
and lustrous with sunshine, the man
starting to his business in the morn
ing in his duster, is glad to return to
dinner in an ulster. '"ThOu wearest
the name of gentle spring indeed, y"
says Bryant, but hast none of its flow
ers. Nor is April much better, with
alienation of showers and frosts. its
tempests and tOrnadoes. The real
"etherial mildness" in this climate is
not due until Nav and June, and the
way the whole affair has been mixed
up thus far this season. we are not
quite sure of its coming then.

TIRED OF PROHIBITION.

Prohibition in Iowa and Kansas
seems to be in bad way, and the
time has apparently come when this
sovereign panacea for theills of drunk
enness will have to be abandoned, in
the interest of the g. o. p. Such, at
least, is the decidedly expressed Opin-
ion of about 200 delegates, represent
ing some 25 counties in Iowa, now
assembled at Des Moines; and of an
active movement put on foot at Wich-
ita, Kansas, and prosecuted with even
greater zeal than appears to fire up
the Iowa contingent. In both cases
the work is exclusively confined to re-
publicans, and "no others need apply"
All the members of the Des Moines
body profess to be personally" prohi-
bitionists in principle, but they are
greved to be forced to the admission
that as a statutory measure it has
failed, and this being undeniable,
thousands of the best republicans in
the state have lost faith in it and look
to other means to restrain the evils Of
intemperance. 1t is therefore no Ion
ger expedient for the G. 0. p. of Iowa
to retain prohibition as plank in the
party platform, and the object OF this
convention IS to eliminate it there
from. or at least to insist that the
next regularly called Republican State
Convention shall authoritatively do
SO, and leave all Republican voters, as
well as members of the legislature,
free to vote on this question as they
please. Unless this is done, the Des
Moines body solemnly affirm, the Re-
publican party in Iowa may as well
hang up it's fiddle, or words to that
effect.
The language of the leaders in the
Wichita movement is to the same
purport and defect;" only the thing
aimed at there is to circulate petitions
to the governor of Kansas asking him
to call the legislature together in extra
session to pass law for reSubmission
of the question of prohibition to a
vote of the people. Unless this is done,
what with the Farmers Alliance de-
fection, and that of the resubmission-
lists, the G. o. p. in Kansas, as in Iowa,
may as well hang up it's fiddle.
Meantime what do the real prohibi-
tionists,s who make up four-tlfths of
the G. o. p. in both states, think of the
movement? Will they continue to
hang to the party whose ablest leaders
thus express their determination to
desert the sacred cause?"

The wOmen's crusade in Missouri
has broken out again, and on Tues
day, hearing that a wagon load of beer
was on it's way to Pennington, Mo-,
about 25 women, armed with axes,
hatchets, etc, went down the road
and met the oncoming load. The dri-
yer was asked whether he would dis
mount or would want to be helped
down. He concluded not to be helped,
but like Capt. Scott's squirrel, "came
down." and then was made to help
unload the beer kegs. the heads of
which were broken in and the beer
emptied in the road. Hearing that a
car load of beer arrived at Delassus,
some miles away, the crusaders next
started for that point, but with what
result is not reported.

The Supreme Court of Illinois says
the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton is not religious organization:
Mr.. Hamsher, of Macon county, died
leaving most of his property, including
farm, to the Y. M. G. A. Of Decatur.
The heirs contested the will on the
ground that under the statute of illi-
nois religious body cannot hold over
ten acres of land. The court say the
Y. NJ. G. A. is no such body, but mere
ly charitable and benevolent organi-
zation to which the statutory restric-
tion has no application. Whether the
members of the Y. M. @. A. outside of
Decatur will relish this decision may
be doubted. Most of them certainly
have the idea that the work they are
engaged in is the same as that of the
churches-tO convert people and make
them christians. Mere works of char
ity and benevOlenCe may be an impor-
tant and necessary incident of the 9TH
er work, but is certainly of different
grade.

Fine Horses.

Mr.. Fred +. Lawrence, of Prairie
Center, Ill.,, has for the last week been
looking at draft horses in different
stables in Indiana and this state, and
has returned with a fine black French
draft stallion Raven" two years old,
which he purchased of z. HodgsOn. OF
Healy, III. Mr.. Lawrence is quite an
extensive breeder, having about forty
horses on hand all the time. The pur-
chase of Raven" makes two full
bloOded stations on his farm, and
with the number of young mares from
the first horse, and other good ones
that he has, this farm will soon have
as good lot of horses as close atten-
tiOn and good breeding can produce.
