CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
A Message from the President on Tn
Aid the Worlds Fair Asks.

AAu NNt NN0NAN 8AA AnA's
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Idaho con
tested senatorial election--a question Of
the highest privilege the senate
all day without reaching any conclusion.
The congressional excursionists having re
turned there was a large attendance IN the
house. Speaker Crisp, who has been sick,
occupied his chair and called the house to
order After some routine business had
been transacted the house went into com
mittee of the whole on the Indian appro-
priation bill, and after a long debate ad-
jourued without action.
T. W. Palmer, president OF the Worlds
Columbian exposition, in letter 20 the
president calls attention 10 the report sub
mitted Nov 25, 1891, citing the action Of
the national commission upon the PROPOSE
tion of the Illinois corporation 20 apply 10
congress for loan Of S5,0O0,OO0 Since the
submission of this report the board OF refer
ence and control of the national commission
had been authoritatively advised by the Il
linois corporation that it had requested its
members TO apply 70 congress for loan OF
S5,OO0,0 900 and had determined TO apply for
an appropriation Of a like sum.
An aggregate expenditure Of SlS,OOO,O0O
would have been made up 10 the time OF
the opening OF the exposition gates. lt
would be evident that while the Illinois cor
poration had made ample provision for the
sum Of $4,000, 600 in fulhllment Of the obli-
cation imposed upon il by the act OF CON
gress, IL would, however, even II an appro-
priation of &, 900, 600 be made by congress,
be required TO provide an additional sum Of
| S3,OOO,OOO President Palmer says:
considering the national and interna
tional charactersof this great undertaking
the manifest desire OF the American people
that success shall be fully assured and ths
relation which the government necessarily
sustains thereto an appeal 20 congress fol
| aid in the manner proposed would seem 4
be entitled to special consideration from The
standpoint of patriotism and national inter
est, more especially as this aid is considered
necessary 10 complete the work
In response TO this appeal Presiden
Harrison sent a message 10 Congress il
which he praises the progress Of the worl
so FAR on the fair grounds, advises oongres
that Chicago has raised the 100000 sh
promised TO for the fair, and says that II
/ evident that from 100000 10 SS,OO0,0o
more is necessary to prepare the expositio
for a complete and successful Inauguration
He commends the matter to the attentio
Of congress, but he declines 70 make specit
Recommendation because Of want Of dat
and says that liberality on the part Of Oh
United States rs due to the foreign govern
ments who have 80 generously responded.
The message was referred 10 the exp
sition committee.
I Chairman Holman, Of the Democrat
! caucus, has issued call for a caucus q
7 night to consider the tariff and silver que
tiOns.

Origin of the Iron-cIad,

American Register.
There seems to be q remarkable
amount of misinformation concerning
the origin of the ironclad Lieut..
Very, in q most able review of le de.
velopment of armor, published by the
Naval Institute says: There appears
to be universal agreement between
the United States and foreign author
tiles In according to an American the
credit of the first M dern practical
exposition of the value of armor for
naval use." He then gives details of
the vessel designed by John stevens,
of Hoboken, in 1912, the plans of
which were submitted to the Govern
ment. The specla AZURE IF this
vessel was q battery protected by in
clined armor. His plans received no
encouragement at the time, but
his family continued to work at the
idea, and in the spring of 1854, by or
der of the Government, he laid the
keel of the Stevens battery ship. This
was q few months earlier than the
beginning of the first ironclad In
Europe. Work was continued upon
her TOR nearly two years. and when
Congress refused TO add to the 500. OOO
expend upon her the work was absn.

sold for "her worth in old IRON

The Disease OF Suicide.

DR.. Atkinson in the Yankee Blade.
The desire to commit suicide is q
disease, as much as drink, which
may be either q constitutional or an
acquired defect. Families as well as
nations, are constitutionally inclined
toward committing. and the inherited
predisposition to this needs but the
circumstances to develop 1t. Insani-
ty is no moresthoroug bly, transmitted
from father to son than this weakness
of taking ones own life, and though
it may slip n generation, invari
ably shows itself sooner or later.
Morbid, gloomy people have a ten
dency to dependency and discourage
ment which leads to this weakness.
Weak minded, easily disappointed
people yield readily to the fascination
10 give up the battle of life. They
grow faint hearted and lose interest
liz existence and the desire to leave
the world becomes as attractive and
fascinating as the dreams of the NOR
phine eater. The disease has made
such progress then that it becomes
incurable, and the least disappoiut.
ment will precipltate matters. The
person needs Watching and care at
such times, and even force should be
applied to him in check. This dis
ease Is not modern. Among the rud.
est savages suicide is quite common,
and many of them will take their
lives on the slightest provocation.
Others will pine away and die grad.
ually. Modern civilization gives only
another phase of the mental disease,
probably aggravating it by its com
plexlty Of life and anxiety. But
among many Of the lowest African
tribes suicide is today mole common
in proportion to their numbers than
among the civilized countries. Edu.
cation and strengthening of will pow.
Eer seem to be the best remedies for
this disease.
