Prospects of the Election Bill.

The vote on the federal election bill is to
be taken IN the House to-day and the prob
abilities are that it will pass that body.
Quite number of republicans are opposed
10 it, and if they were not afraid to vote
against their party enough Of them would
vote against it to defeat it Some Of them
will vote against it. but the indications are
that majority against it cannot be OBJ
tanned. Speaker Reed has been using every
means in his power to keep the republi-
can ranks unkroken. He understands
that he has a great deal at stake. He is
ambitious to be President, and hopes to
receive the presidential nomination of his
party in 1892. If the election bill should be
defeated in the House his chance Of getting
that nomination would be destroyed. The
direction in which he is trying to lead his
party would be changed, and he would
cease TO be regarded as unavailable candi-
date. 1t can be readily understood, there
fore, why he is making such extraordinary
exertions TO get the bill through the II )use.
II the bill should be passed by the House,
what chance would it have of being passed
by the Senatel 1t would have no chance at
all, unless the rules of that body should be
changed. The republican leaders and
organs understand that very we'll Debate
in the Senate cannot be cut off as it is in
the House, and the democratic senators
would talk the bill to death.
1t is proposed, therefore, to change the
rules of the Senate so as to limit the debate
on the election bill TO a certain number Of
days. This proposition, however, does not
seem to meet with much favor with
some of the most influential of the
republican senators. One of them, lead
ing member of the committee on rules-the
committee that has authority TO recon-
mend the limiting of the debates quoted
as saying that be would not consent to any
change in the rules that would interfere
with full and free discussion of any mat
ter that came before the Senate. He was
of the opinion, he said, that one of the houses
of congress should be a deliberative body
If he should stick to this position, the rules
could not be changed, and there would be
very little, if any, prospect of the passage
of the election bill.
The democrats of the House have made
strong speeches against the bill 1t is gen
orally admitted that their arguments have
been much superior to those of the republi-
cans. The republicans, however, rely upon
numbers. not arguments. They created
their present majority by unseating demo-
Gratis and admitting republicans to succeed
them, for the purpose Of passing the election
bill, and they are going to leave no means
untried to pass it,

She Was q Lady.

There is a lawyer with an Office in one of the
large buildings downtown, says the New York
Graphic, who is famous among his friends as a
man who never loses his temper or allows his
language to stray from the path of propriety.
He was desperately busy the other day when a
female book canvasser entered his private
office and as she advanced from the door an
nounced her mission.
Il should like to show you very valuable
work, she began.
Madam" said the counsellor as he rose
from his char, you must excuse me. | am
very sorry but at present l am engaged
Evidently the agent had heard something of
the kind before, for she didn't pause in her pro
gress toward the lawyers desk.
Madam" he repeated, Il am engaged at
present.
Still the agent came on.
Madam cried the lawyer in desperation,
81 am engaged, and if you don't go away you
will force me to be what have never been be-
fore-guilty of rudeness to a woman"
That settled the agent Probably the very
vagueness of the threat helped to set her to re-
treating. But, like true woman, she had the
last woodland several of them-iust as she
vanished out Of the door.

the New York Star. on the fact that she never
allows anything, no matter how embarrassing

which, as she expresses it. ''her bluff was ca led

on Broadway with friend when they Glanced
TO pass young man who carried a light over
coat on his arm. MISS Fox carried an UNI

man she accidentally caught his overcoau with
the handle of her umbrella. She turned round at
once, and, looking the young man in the face
said, holding out the umbrella: You may have

gered for an instant, but he quickly controlled
himself, and reaching out his hand said. Thank
you, with polite bow as he took the proffered
umbrella and walked away with it. The next
day messenger boy brought the umbrella to
the theater with note, which said: Il always
call a bluff, no matter how small hand
hold" Toe note was unsigned, and Miss Fox
does not yet know who the young man was.

urer of Philadelphia, and Claus Spreckles,
the sugar king, have placed under cultiva.

that state, the total yield of which last year
was $685., 522 pounds of sugar and $40, $40
gallons of molasses. The cane grows luxu-
riantly without fertilizing, aud the average
cost of preparing and planting a crop is
$40 90 per acre, as compared with SIS IS in
Cuba and $24 IS in Louisiana. Now that
the alligator industry is becoming extinct,
Florldians will find sugar cane growing just
as profitable.

Protection for Surf Bathers

What are the town authorities at Tybee
doing toward compelling those who hire
out bathing suits at Tybee to provide the
means for rescuing bathers VINO get beyond
their depth3 If they have done nothing it
would be interesting to know the reason.
Only day or two ago two ladies came near
losing their lives. They were neither reck-
less nor careless. They were carried be-
yond their depth by the strong undercur-
rent
1t is clear that at each of the bathing
places there should be a life-boat and life
lines, and there should also be some one on
the watch during the bathing hours at
each place, capable of using the life
lines and boat promptly and effectively.
1t is the duty of the Tybee town authori-
ties to act in this matter at once. Tybee is
getting to be too popular a resort to be
without protection for bathers. Those who
profit by the patronage at 1ybee should
bear the expense. The loss of one life
would cost them much more, by keeping
people away from the island, than the ex-
pense of providing ample protection for
bathers If the hotel proprietors refuse to
provide the necessary protection, then the
tow authorities should do so, and meet the
OK pense by a town tax.
