1t is said in Washington that the failure
of the free coinage advocates to secure q
closure to bring the Bland bill to vote,
was due to an appeal from the farmers in
Mississippi The story is that Congressman
Catchings, member OF the committee on
rules, arrived at Washington from Missis-
sippi when the question Of a closure rule
was being discussed. and was against re-
porting such rule. He said large number
of farmers in his state had personally i'm
plored him to stop the agitation. They said
that while they had every prospect Of max
ing fine crops, they found it extremely diff
ficult, in view of the uncertainty of the
financial situation, TO get the money neces-
sary to continue operations, and that moth
ing but a cessation Of the agitation would
enable them to borrow what money they
needed.

VIII Congress Shoulder the Burden ?
1t is evident that the expenses OF the
Columbian exposition have got much be-
yond the ability of Chicago to provide for
them. The managers of the exposition be-
gan their work in a modest way enough
but under the influence of the sky scraping
ideas Of Chicago they so enlarged their
plans aud spent money so lavishly that they
find themselves in very embarrassing
position. If congress does not come to their
assistance the exposition will be in danger
Of going into bankruptcy.
II is now estimated that it will require an
outlay OF nearly $23, 900, 900 to carry the OK
position through successfully. Such a
large sum was not thought Of when
the fair was first suggested. II any one had
limited that such an amount of money
would be required the enterprise would
have been abandoned.
Millions of dollars have been spsnt-too
much to think OF abandoning the enterprise
nQW~and millions more are called for. A
congressional committee has lately returned
from an inspection of the bulldogs that are
partly completed and from hearing from
those who have the exposition in charge as
TO their needs. What it will recommend
cannot be predicted with any degree Of Ger
tainty. 1t is probable, however, that it will
say that the honor Of the nation requires
that the appropriation which the exposition
managers ask for shall be made.
II such a repor5 is made it will provoke a
hot debate. There are many members of
congress who think the government has
given to the exposition all that it should.
Il was distinctly understood when Chicago
secured the exposition that the government
should be called upon for only enough to
commissioners. One million five hundred
thousand dollars was appropriated for these
purposes, and it is probable that about all of
the amount has been spent. Large salaries
have been paid to officers who have
rendered no service of consequence. If some
Of them had never been appointed the ex-
position would have suffered in no respect.
But it is difficult to see how congress can
| avoid making the appropriation that is
wanted. The government cannot afford to
| permit the exposition TO be a failure after
having invited foreign countries to take
part in 1t. The outcome of the matter will
be that the government will have to become
the banker of the exposition and furnish 1t
all the money it needs. And that is just
about what the Chicago people expected to
make government do when they began
maneuvering to get the exposition.

as will take the organization out of politics.

doubtful if it can be carried out. The

There is a growing tendency on the part
of leading newspapers to require
writer's of communications for publica-

articles. The old order, mot necessarily
for publication, but as guarantee Of good
faith" is passing, and Constant Reader"
"Vox Populi )" Subscriber" and our other
old friends appear doomed to drop into
"harmless inactivity" The reason is
obvious; the public wish TO know who is
talking. An article signed with a nom de
plume is anonymous as far as tina public are
concerned, unless the pen-neme is one of
established reputation. Besides, a nom de
plume leaves a measure of responsibility on
the publisher that is an injustice. Under q
nom de plume a writer viii say great
many things that he does not care to sign
his name to, and on the other hand he would
be more careful of facts and SMILES if he
knew his name would appear. The change

The Issue Brought out Clearly.

Tne issue Brought OuC CLSdrly'
In his speech in Providence, r. l., Satur-
day, Mr.. Cleveland made it very clear that
the democrats should have but one issue in
the presidential contest. and that is tariff
reform. With that issue they will be vic
torious. II they permit that issue to be
pushed into the background the chances are
they will be defeated. The whole effort of
the democrats should be to get control Of
the government. Having done that they
will be in a position to make any other re-
forms that may seem to be necessary, and
that may be demanded by the people.
The election in Rhode Island takes place
tomorrow. The democrats have fair
prospect Of winning It. They are making a
supreme effort to DO 50. The assistance Mr.
Clevelandhas given them is very great. He
aroused an immense amount of enthusiasm
by his speech In Providence, and it is Ger
tain that men in Rhode Island who have
a state election will do SO tomorrow.
There are local issues which will have
considerable influence in determining the
result of the election, one Of them being a
purpose to SO change the constitution Of the
state that the state government will not be
a government of the minority. At present
representation is so distributed that a small
town having few hundred voters has as
potent voice in framing the laws as a
large one having many thousands of voters.
But the loca! issues will not wholly OVER
shadow the national one, viz, tariff re-
form. The democrats are keeping that at
the front. If they carry the election with
it the democracy OF the whole country will
accept it as the only issue in the national
contest.
And they have pretty fair prospect for
success. 1t is true that for many years
they have not been in the majority in
Rhode Island, but it is doubtful if in any
previous year they have been so united and
determined. The campaign they are con-
Quoting is vigorous one, and it can hardly
be failure. The outlook is certainly very
favorable for democratic victory.

RODE A HORSE UPSTAIRS.

a Bad Man" in Memphis Shows
Il His Nerve In a Remarkable Way.
The story of a remarkable feat OF
!. nlorsemanship performed in Mempis
recently has just come out. The rider
was Henry Douglass, farmer living
near Lake View, Miss, and he rode
MS horse up steep flight OF stairs to
the second story Of M. G. Pearce Coos
cotton office on Front street.
The first the clerks in the cotton.
room knew of the circus act was when
Douglass cantered into the apartment,
very drunk, and gave them the time
OF day. They did not respond, but
got out as quickly as possible, as
Douglass had a pistol and they knew
him to be bad even when not under
the influence Of liquor. Then Mr..
Pearce and City Commissioner Martin
Kelly went up and interviewed Doug
lass, who was riding around in the
cotton room and trying to make his
steed mount the sample tables.
They persuaded him to dismount
for the purpose of descending with them
and taking a drink, and Mr.. Pearce.
called his negro and told him to lead
the horse downstairs. .r.
ON you," said the owner of the
horse to the negro, eff you touch my
horse III kill you. [ have already
killed four men and you're a fine
subject for the fifth"
The porter declined to undertake the
contract and finally Mr.. Pearce him
self led the animal down without
mlshap, Commissioner Kelly hanging
on to the tail to steady the process
sion. AS soon as Douglass reached
the street he was arrested by police
man and later was lodged in the Jail
for carrying pistol, says the st. Louis
Republic.

the horse he rode is rather wild than
otherWsle. Douglass is as handy with
his gun as he claims to be. Several
years since he killed Oscar Woodbridge

The study of statistics is said to
rouse the English Chancellor OF the
Exchequer to enthusiasm, and dull
figures properly introduced to one an
other have told stirring tales. Mr..
Charles Booths figures about the
poverty OF ST. George the East
and the figures lately published by the
rector IN his annual report about the
public houses in his parish ought to
be brought side by side The inhabit-
ants of St. George s-in-the- East are
among the poorest in London. In

East London, containing 1873 per
cent. OF what he calls ''the poor"
compared with 1872 per cent. in
Whitechapel, and AT per cent. in

Eggs In Canada,

AS to the Canadian egg trade there
can be no doubt that it has expanded
this season to a greater extent than
even the most sanguine expected. In
quiries made this week show, however,
that the quality Of consgnments has
not been SO well maintained during
the past few weeks. There have, Of
course, been notable exceptions, but
the general tendency mas been down
wards rather than upwards in the
quality Of the egg in the packing. The
general opinion Of those in the trade
who have been consulted is that there
is a large and permanent market for
Canadian eggs if only due care is taken
by the shippers. The market is,
however, only a poor one for eggs
OF the half-stale character which have
been coming forward recently. Card
board boxes, moreover, will not do
for the packing; they not only in
crease the breakages but give musty
smell to the eggs and lessen their mar
ket value. Ii the eggs are taken when
in a. perfectly fresh condition and
packed according to the methods sug-
gested by the Dominion authorities,
and sorted into their different sizes,
there can be no doubt that a fairly
remunerative market will be always
found for them. But it is imperative
that the quality OF the eggs should be
maintained if Canada is to secure a
good reputation on the Londonmar-
ket. In Liverpool, Glasgow: and other
points, an even larger demand exists,
and there, as in London, everything
depends upon the quality OF the eggs
and the methods of shipment.-Cana-
dian Gazette. &c..

How He Called the Cow.

now ne Na!loO the COW.
He lives just outside the corpora
ton limits, where there are large COM
mons on which the COWS pasture.
Having a large lawn, he mows the
grass with an attachment to his lawn
mowerwhich catches the grass cut.
This he feeds to his COW at night, and
her toothsome lunch of fresh-mown
grass has come to be a looked
for evening occurrence. The
other evening q friend went out
to spend the night. After tea
the gentleman's wife remarked to him:
"!The COW has not come home yet;
hadn't you better start her?" Yes, "
was the answer, and then while his
city friend watched to see him perform
the office OF cowboy he deliberately
got out his lawn mower and began
marching back and forth across the
shaver sod, as though there was no
matter OF cream for the coffee next
morning at stake. ''Did you forget
what your wife said about the cow"
the friend asked presently. "Forset?
No; isn't she there?" He looked in the
direction indicated, and there sure
enough, was Sukey with her nose over
the fence. "Sent a boy after herr"
"No. I called her" But didn't hear
you" Eyes you did; you've been
standing right here" But YOU

the COW just the same, land she heard
the call-the noise OF the lawn mower"
