WHO OWNED THE PEW.

Pat Only Wanted His Rights ~ . Fro.
prietor Respected.
'Tf you had come and asked me for
them, you might have had all you
wanted. and welcome" This, if story
tellers are to be trusted, is what farm
srs always say when they find bad boys
robbing their orchards. And it is true,
beyond question, that people in general
like to have their rights as proprietors
respected, even in the most trifling mat
ters. So it was with an Irishman of
whom q reporter for the Chicago Post
tells a little story.
There was special celebration of
some kind in the church where he
owned a pew. The building was
crowded, and just as the service began
this proprietor made his way down the
aisle to the door of his pew, which was
only two seats from the front. In it
were two or three ladies, strangers to
him.
There was still abundance Of room
near the head of the seat, but he stop.
ped at the door, laid one hand upon the
back of the pew next in front, and with
an impressive wave of the other said,
in q voice loud enough to be heard over
half the church:
sCome out of that now!''
The ladies, surprised and greatly
confused, obeyed with all haste, but
no sooner was the last ono out in the
aisle than the man waved his hand
graciously.
'.Now in wild ycz again, " he remarked,
louder than before, 'tan' mako yerselvea
ter home. Oh only wanted yer ter know
who owned the pew"
His tone and gesture and smile were
so polite and rcassuring that the ladies
resumed their seats, and the priest went
on with the service.

MIGHTY BATTLE OF BILLS.
After the Holiday Recess There Is Much
Important Legislation to BE Done.


Important Legislation TO BE Done.
After the holiday recess there will lie p
mighty battle OF bills In the Senate. The
anti-option BILL the Nicaragua Canal bill,
the anti Immigration bill and the PROPOSE
tion o repeal the Sherman silver law Will
all claim the attention OF the Senate as
soon as they reconvene, and there will be u
hot fight for preference. All the opponents
Of the anti option bill will join with the
friends of the other bills, many of whom
will be compelled to vote for anticipation
when IL comes To vote on the pass
age OF the bill. but will be very
glad to delay that vote as long
as possible; ard it promises TO be
very interesting fight for position. 1t is
probable that the anticipation bill will win
the right OF way and will be passed by the
Senate very promptly, 1t is the expecta =
ton OF the opponents OF the measure. how
ever that It will be amended. and they are
counting on IL conflict between the two
houses on the amendment for n chance to
defeat il. 1t must be acknowledged that
they are not very confident that their
efforts will be successful There Is no
doubt that before the session closes some
proposition for the suspension OF immya-
grafton will be adopted. The general en-
pectatjon is that something similar to the
House proposition will be adopted. There
will be "a hard fight over the Nicaragua
Canal bill. The proposition for which hope
IS entertained Is not TO secure the bonds OF
the company by Government guaranty, but
10 have the Government take the matter
out of the control OF private parties and
make it "a Government work. There is so
much opposition to the proposition in the
House that it, success seems improbable.
There does not appear to be the least
chance in the world Of securing the repeal
OF the Sherman act without making con-
cessions to the silver men, which the anti
silver men cannot agree to-
