WASHINGTON, June 6.-Farmer Hatch
got his anti-option bill up before the
House to-day on a suspension of the
rules and secured its passage, in spite
Of all the vigorous objection that was
made to it, by d vote Of 168 to 46. Cum
mings, Herbert, Boatner, Raynor and
other congressman made telling
speeches against the bill, but they
were of no avail.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal Farmer Hatch made the motion
to suspend the rules, take up the bill
and consider it. He won by vote of
1876 to 1. A request was made for two
hours debate on each side, but objec-
ton was made, and but fifteen minutes
was allowed. Farmer Hatch opened
the ball. But it was oimpossible at
first to hear him. so great was the con-
fusion. Farmer Hatch beloved
shrieked and gotred in the face trying
to make himself heard, but not until
the Speaker called on the Sergeant
alarms to restore order could
the words of the farmer be heard
Then Mr.. Herbert of Alabama spoke
for three minutes in denunciation of
the bill and was followed By Boatner
of Louisiana, who used up minute in
declaring the bill to be more vicious in
principle than any measure that had
ever come before the House. Mr..
Raynor of Maryland protested in two
inmates against rushing SO important a
bill through.
ut is the most dangerous measure
that ever made its appearance on this
floor" he exclaimed. eff carried to its
logical conclusion it means violation of
the rights of State sovereignty. twill
kill States rights and | call on my
brethren who love their institutions to
vote against it,
Mr.. Cobb, from Missouri, continued
| in similar strain and Dewitt Warner
was allowed three-quarters of a
minute. I'VE object to the measure
because it violates the liberty of con-
! tracts he declared; because it is a
/ bold proposition to license gambling
! and because it is a sham method to
raise revenue and is back with com
munism."
Then Culbertson and Lanham from
/ Texas, Fusion from Kansas, Iillman
from South Carolina, Moses from Geor-
! gia and Henderson from Iowa spoke
! in the bills behalf. Henderson char
acterized the debate as a contest be-
tween the capitalists and farmers OF
the country. ''It is bill for revenue
with incidental protection"
Henderson then gave way to Hatch,
who, in the minute remaining, pleaded
for the support of the bill i'll his usual
way, and then called for yea and nay
by moving to adjourn, but withdrew
his motion and the vote was taken. II
resulted in the passage of the bill by q
vote of los to 46

Why the Proprietor Predicted a Sue
cessful Career for Him.
"a new boy came into our Office to-
day said a wholesale merchant to
his wife at the supper table He was
hired by the firm at the request of the
senior member, who thought the boy
gave promise of good things. But
feel sure that boy will be out of the
Office in less than week"
What makes you think SOP"
because the first thing he wanted
to know was just exactly how much
he was expected to do"
Perhaps you will change your
mind about him
I Perhaps l shall " replied the
merchant. 'but | think not"
Three days later the business man
said to his wife:
About that boy you remember l
spoke of two or three days ago
Well he is the best boy that ever
= entered the store"
How did you find that out?'
In the easiest way in the world.
The first morning after the boy began
work he performed very faith July
and Systematically the exact duties
assigned which he had been so care
full to have explained to him. When
/ he had finished he came to me and
said: Mr. NJ | have finished all
: that work. Now what can l do?''
Il was surprised but gave him a
e little job of work and forgot all about
him until he came into my room with
the question What next? That
settled it for me. He was the first
boy that ever entered our Office who
was willing and volunteered to do
more than was assigned him. l pre-
! diet a successful career for that boy as
business man.
Business men. heads of firms, de-
clares the Youths Companion, know
capacity when they see it. and they
make a note of it. Willingness to do
more than the assigned task is one of
the chief stepping-stones to CONNER
cial success.

The committee consists of Alexander E. Orr, John L.. Macauley and Frederick H. Prince. The committee is also empowered to provide plan for paying off the floating debt, which is said to be about $40O,000. J. A.

Parties were out securing the woods yesterday looking for George Dickinson, a twelve-year-old boy, who disappeared from his home in Essex on Wednesday. He was sent on an errand and did not return. Since that time he has not been seen by any of his friends. It is believed there that in going to the neighbours he tried to take a short cut across the fields and lost his way in the woods and perished. The woods in the vicinity have been thoroughly secured for any trace of the missing boy, but so far all efforts to find him have proved fruitless, Another party will go out to- day and search the woods in the north ern part of the town.

Some Questions For the Board of Health
 to Answer.
 Evening DEMOCRAT:
 Mir Editor-Permit me, through your valuable paper, to ask the board of health what was their object in asking for bids for the removal of garbage, when they do not award it to the lowest bid der as is the rule in the other city de- partments? Would it not have been better to get Mir Rigney's figures and let him perform the work? It would have saved the city the expense of advertis- ing, the bidders the trouble and expense of having proposals drawn up and hum bling themselves to secure bondsmen. True, Mir Rigney performed his work well, but this is a new departure in our city, Mir Rigney being the third to re- ceive contract for such work, and per haps the city could get this work done as well and receive as good security from one of the lower bidders. think this is unbusinesslike and should not re- ceive the approval of the upper boards.
