THE House members yesterday fol-
lowed the precedent of the Senate Of
few days previous, and voted them
selves so each for stamps. That, with
q cents per day for newspapers, and Is
cents per mile mileage, this legislation
seems to lack nothing to entitle it to
go down in history as the model re-
form body of the century. What a
glorious thing this Demo-Alli combine
is for the suffering tax payers 1t is
enough to make an honest man weep
tears of penance for his crime in so
long voting for Republican thieves
to note the reformation being wrought
by the present angelic Donnelly COM

WILLon SENATOR pWAsHBURN0 Elk
PLAIN.2

The action of Senator1 Washburn in
joining the Democrats to defeat the
most important party measure which
has come before the federal congress
| for consideration since he assumed his
seat in the Senate is decidedly dis
tasteful to the Republican party of
Minnesota, and it would be quite in
order for him to explain himself.
While the Elections bill was not par
tisian in it's nature, it assumed that
role from the bitter opposition, inner
ent with the Democratic party against
an honest ballot: and for Mr.. Wash
| burn to stand up in defiance to the de-
clared principles of his party for law
that should guarantee to all men equal
rights. chance to cast their ballots
and have those ballots honestly count
ed is change of front hardly to be
expected. The plea that certain Re-
publican papers were hostile to the
bill is not sufficient excuse for his ac-
tion. 1t was measure which the Re-
publican party owed the country. 1t
was measure which the Republican
party as whole was committed to
and desired passed.
The New York World of the 18th,
among other things on the subject,
has this to say, which is not cOmpli
mentary to Mr.. Washburn, as it shows
that he was conniving to help the
Democrats out of strained position
when he voted against the closure
rule which meant the defeat of the
Elections bill.
sit is unders God that the friends of both
Cleveland and Hill in New York are afraid of an
extra session, and are urging German and the
Democratic Senators to make any concession in
order to avoid it. The concession proposed is
that if a sufficient number of Republican Sena-
tors will vote to again side-track the Elections
bill, the d mocrats will not offer the slightest
obstruction to any other legislation the Repub-
licans want to enact.
Senator Washburn is conducting the negoti-
ations on the Republican side, and it need sur
prise nobody if, before vote on the cloture
resolution is reached, compromise of this ma
ture may be effected.
1.-The outside pressure against the bill is Just
now tremendous, and it will be strange indeed if
some ,f the lukewarm Senator's do not fall
down"
Lukewarm is good word. and seems
to fit the case nicely. Senator WASH
burn, then, according to the World, and
the statement is backed up by the evil
dence of his own action, negotiated to
defeat the Elections bill to relieve
Hill, Cleveland and German. Perhaps
Mr.. Washburn has another eXplana-
ton. If so the FREE PRESS would be
glad to hear it,

should set up a loan office and distri-

estate security. He is man of some

Abraham Lincoln rose 10 fame grad
ually, step by step. He was a poor
boy, work ed his way through life by
hard physical as we'll as mental labor.
Mr.. Lincoln once told an anecdOte OF
how he earned his first dollar, which
is i'm substance like this: They had
succeeded in raising sufficient produce
to Justify him in taking it down the
river 10 sell. So he constructed a
small fiat boat, large enough to take
barrel or two of things they had gath
cred with himself and little bundle.
A steamer was coming down the rlv-
er, and at the same moment two men
came down to the shore in carriages
with trunks, after looking at several
boats they singled out the one belong
ing to Abraham Lincoln. They asked
if he would take them over TO The
steamer. Glad of the chance to earn
something, he accepted and with the
men seated on their trunks he sculled
them out to the steamer,when each
took from his pocket silver half dol
lar and threw it into his boat Mr.. l..
said he could scarcely believe his eyes,
that he had honestly earned dollar
i'm less than a day, and he felt more
hopeful from that day on.

Cling wayfarers, like some of the
prophets of old, would gladly have
given up their lives to be at rest, SO
tumultuOus are the storms Of life at
times. Some persons are many years
indeed the greater part of their lives
in reaching distinction. The fame
of others, like the mushroom, springs
up in single night-that is, by some
one meritOriOus or notorious deed a
person becomes known the world over.
Nellie Bly,, for instance, became noted
for having gone around the world in
less than seventy-five days. Some
persons are famed for deeds of benev-
Olence or heroism, while others are
famed for evil deeds. Now it is the
highest goal of fame to which we
should aspire. Let us aim TO do
noble deeds, be they ever so small,
for ''Little drops of water, little
grains of sand, make The mighty ocean
and the beauteOus land" The kind of
fame the world appreciates most is not
the mushroom kind, but that which
has been bought with bitter tears Of
disappointment, failures and successes

hardship burns away the dross and

fame they have so nobly earned.
The deeds for which j. Wilkes
Booth, Charles j. Giteau, Jesse James

should covet. If we are not to become
famous for beneficial deed let us re-
main in obscurily. The praises Of
men famous in war are sung the world
over. Grant, Sheridan, Sherman and
Lee are examples of soldiers who just
ly won their renOwn after long years
of struggle. The famous preacher has
travelled path full of vicissitudes he
has his cares and his burdens to bear.
The lecturer, the scientist the inventor,

from which one may rise TO fame,
may also expect roverses. The lectur-

THE cAMPHoR TREE.

One of the most useful and
magnificent productions OF the
vegetable kingdom that ensIches
the soll of China, more partlcu-
laIly the provinces of Kiang 81 aud
Canton, is the camphor tree.
This stupendous laurel, according
to the testimony of learned
Chinese mandarlns, has been
known 20 attain height OF 800
feet and a glrih measurement of
so feet. They seldom grow on
uplands, but are to be lornd in
abundance on the banks of many
OF the larger streams. Lord
Amherst's embassy reports the
ayeIa height of campllor trees
at from 80 to 40 feet, with a stem
circumference Of 20 20 35 feet.
Besides yielding the camphor gum
OF commerce, this valuable tree is
the principal timber wood OF the
Celestial Empire, and is used not
only in bulldog. but in most
articles OF fur iiure. The wood
when dry is Of lighI yellow

WAS MOSES WIFE A NeosEss.

The only authority for such a
suppositlon is found in the first
verse of the twelfth chapter of
the book Of Numbers, which
rea Is:
"And Miriam and Aaron spake
against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman he had married;
for he had married an Ethiopian
woman"
On the margin of the Bible the
above passage is explained 10 this
wise "Because of the Cushite
woman he had married. :
A weil-known commentator,
writing in regaid to this peculiar
rendering of the verse and chap
ter above named, says;
"The person mentioned in that
verse may have been an Ethiopian
wife taken after the dea'h Of
ZIpporah. or the Ethiopian Pnn-
cess Of Josephus; or it nay have
been Zlpporah herself, winch ls
rendered probable by the juxta-
position of Cushan with Midian."
The above are the best inierprets-
tlOns Of The text which the editor
Of "Notes tor the Curious has
been able tc find, therefore they
are given as the only reason for
supposlng that the wife Of Moses,
