ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

The limit of reduction of cost of max
ing farm products has by no means been
reached, great as have been the strides.
The reduction in price makes the study
Of lessening cost just as much neces-
sty as ever. Widening OF the margin
between investment and return means
prosperity now the same as ever; mar
rowing it means nearing poverty now
just the same as ever. Heretofore, ex-
cept as he has harnessed the uncertain
winds to his mill to pump his water or
drive his lighter machinery, the farmer
has depended OH mechanical rather than
on natural forces. Why should be not
give his attention to the utilization of
this new force which man has compelled
to his service? His brothers Of the shops
are applying electricity to their pur-
poses; why not the farmer? 1t may be
some years before 1t can be made to
drive his plows or field machinery,
though ne one is bold enough to say it
never will, but it can now be made to do
all that work around the barn and yard
for which the horse now furnishes the
motive power.
A generation ago the man who found
a water power was esteemed as much q
child of good fortune as Is he who now
finds mine. 1t meant grist mill or a
saw mill for the site owner; the black
smith and wheelwright and the store
keeper and the building Of village
about it and the sale OF lots and pros
perity. Then came the railroad, passing
the water powers by on the other side
and showing that what increased cost
of power came to the maker on them
was made up by cheaper transportation.
The water power has fallen into tenn
porary disgrace. Electricity may re-
store what its rival, steam, destroyed.
The turbines can be set to work driving
the dynamos, and the wires can be
stretched across country, carrying the
new fluid force to the farms and giving
light to the houses and barns, and
power for the grinding. saving, Smelling,

PENSION SUSPENSION.
Business Will Be at a Standstiil
Until March.

Special 10 the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-In the pen
sion department business is at stand
still and nothing more will be done I'M
til March s. This decision was made
necessary because of the fact that 1t has
taken week to place the pension build
ing in shape for the inaugural ball.
This, too, is boon to the members of
both houses, and will relieve them from
vast amount of work. Every mall who
is seeking pension has been writing
TO his member Of congress requesting
that the matter be pushed to final ac-
ton before the new administration
takes hold, and some express them
selves as very much alarmed over the
coming change. thinking that it means
that no pensions will be granted under
the new administration. OF course this
is unnecessary alarm. as the men with
valid claims will be reached earlier
in all probability under the new
administration than had the present one
been continued. No favorites will be
played after March 4, and the applicant
with record of services rendered the
Quays and Dudleys will not be favored
to the disadvantage of the deserving
man. This was the record of the pen
sion department under Cleyeland's first
administration, and will be of the sec

HAWAII MUST WAIT.
Annexation Treaty Thought to Be
Dead for This Session.

DGaO Sc8SlOn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Ha-
waiian treaty, it is thought, is dead for
this session. This is reluctantly con-
ceded, even by its friends. The action
of the senate today in refusing to go
into executive session, though that ac-
ton doubtless had some reference to
the Hanchett circuit judge nomination,
was also accepted as conclusive indica-
ton that the treaty would be shelved
for the balance Of the session. The
treaty matter can, of course, be taken
I'D in the session which will convene
Immediately after the present congress
dies, but, unless some marked change
occurs. there is believed to be no pros
pect Of action upon it during the life of
the present administration. Possibly
the knowledge of this disposition Oh the
part of the senate had some reflex inhu-
enee on the action in the house. There
was to have been meeting of the ways
and means committee of the house to-
day to consider the Springer resolution
declaratory Of the sense OF the house OF
represen tativeS that neither the Ha-
waiian Or any other treaty of annexation
should be made without the consent of
the house. but it did not take place. 1t
does not seem likely that the resolution
will be pushed,

THE LIFEL1ABILITY LIMIT,

When the WALSH bill, which pro-
poses to raise the limit of recovery for
the negligent destruction Of life from
$1,000 to SIP, 500. came on for discussion,
the other day, it encountered the oppo-
sltion which might be expected when
the magnitude and the power of the in
terests affected are considered. 1t was
the railroads of the country which,
when legislatures first began to set aside
the common law which denied actions
for the recovery of damages in such
cases, succeeded in getting the absurd
level rate of $4,000 set as the upshot
price of the life of any one whom they
might kill, whether that life were the
most useful or the most useless in the
community. They pleaded poverty: the
check it would be toinvestments in road
building, with other and subtler pleas,

FLOODING a MINE.
Water Steadily Rising in the Ash
land Iron Mine.

lRoNwooD, Mich, Feb. 25. = The
flooding OF the great Ashland iron mine,
near this city, is more serious matter
than at first supposed. The new pump
set up on the tenth level ten days ago
has been drowned out, and the water
is rising at the rate OF eight to
twelve inches an hour, and all
men working below the ninth level are
under water. Unless the water attainS
its level or is got under control below
the seventh level the Ashland's neigh
Dor east, the big Norrie. Will suffer
from the flood. 1t is estimated that if
the inflow continues at the present rate,
the water will reach the Norrie in about
week. Two hundred and fifty men
have been forced to quit work ct the
Ashland mine in consequence of the
aood. The source of the water supply

opposition to the Sherman amendment,
objected, unless it was agreed that that
amendment should be, after debate,
also non-concurred in. This suggestion
of Mr.. BANDS raised the antagonism of
Mr.. Cochran, and no agreement was
arrived at. The silver men then re-
sorted to filibuStering tactics, which
were etfectual. and after speech by
Mr.. Bland the bill went over without
