by his party colleagues than was SEN
ator David 4. Hill. Of New York. ana
no new member OF that body ever re-
ceived the Difference w hica is accorded
him by all OF tho Senators. His init
macy with Senator German has given
that gentleman AN unquestionabie
boom fqr the Presidential nomination.
This is doubtless largely due to the
feeling that any candidate supported
by Senators Hill and German would be
difficult to defeat in democratic nat
ional convention.
Representative Blount, of Georgia.
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. thinks the. House made a mis-
take in defeating the joint resolution
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy
to charter q steamship to carry the
food which has been contributed to the
famine-striclzen Russians, and that it
was done through a misapprehension
and the lack of proper information.

will be passed when it again comes
up.

dents of the Farmers Alliance, who

Mr.. Blaine is again having rocky
time of it, between the attempt of the
Chiiians to wriggle out of making an
apology to the United States and of the
Harrison crowd to take his health a
national. bugaboo. He is also having
trouble with Mr.. Harrison and the
Cabinet over the question OF granting
the Mexican government the right TO
send troops into the United States af-
ter CARA, who is said to be backed bv
Boss Shepherd. Of Washington no.
toriety, and other Americans. MIR.
Blaine alone opposes allowing Mexi-
can troops to cross the border.
Chairman Tlllman, OF the House
committee of Patents. appears to be
the right man i'll the right place. He
has been studying the complaints of
the successful inventors against the ir-
sesponsible darties who make a prac-
tice of wilfully Infringing patents,
knowing that the inventor can collect
no damages from them, no matter how
much the courts may decree, and he
has become convinced that they are
TOO trus, The remedp is in adopting
law that will make the wilful iu-
fringer OF a patent Liable to "a criminal
prosecution. With the prospect of a
striped suit before them there will Le |
a largc decrease in the number OF in |
fringers.
The Idaho and Florida Senatorial

their bread upon 1t, and again, the men
and women purchasers are benented,
else in many cases they would be Obliged
to wear even poorer clothing than they
do, which in most cases in the vicinity
is poor enough.
Now for the "Shouter." This Is gen.
orally some old warehouse or building
which has seen its best day. The Sal
walton Army have utilized them In pro-
viding for the homeless. In rows the
whole length of the building, with aisles
between, are benches seven or eight
feet long, and fifteen or more inches
wide, covered with little leather. On
this the weary traveller rests and is pro-
vided with similar piece of leather to
draw over him. Before retiring they
receive a half pound of bread and a cup
of coffee, and the same allowance in the
morning. For this privilege they pay 3
or Sd or to 6 cents. Surely a worthy
idea where there are hundreds of home
less people wandering the streets every
night.

more complete statement OF this inter-
esting district, and II time permits shall
do so. WILLARD /. LANSING.
