The greatest menace to the well
fare of the country at this time is
the steady stream of pauper labor
that is pouring into the United
States every day. Danger from
this source is greater than lack of
money, lack of confidence, or any
thing else.

stand as adopted almost the same
as they were in the last House.
Theoretically no democrat finds
any fault with the Eberality with
which the rules treat the right OF
the minority, but there is reason
to fear that when the tariff bill,
the bill for the repeal of the Fed
eral election laws, and other meas
ures against which the republicans
will be disposed to fillibuster, gets
before the House they will be
found too lenient towards the mi
nority. It is an old and true max
i'm that chat the devil must be
fought with fire." and many think
that it would have been wisdom to
have followed the precedent set by
the republicans in the Fifty-frst
Congress and have made the rules
stringent enough to cotrol the MI
nority when it was SO desired.
"Much ado about nothing" is all
the talk about the votes in the
Senate this week. With twenty
Senators absent the silver Senators
defeated Senator Voorhees, on two
propositions = one to go into exec
utiye session while Senator Stewart
was making his long speech, and
the other to adjourn. The votes
have absolutely no significance az
FAR as the final result is concerned.
the situation stands precisely as it
did before-the bill will be debated
reasonable time, unless an agree
ment is reached setting a time to
vote, and then an attempt will be
made to force a vote. To say how
that attempt will result is merely
to express an individual opinion or
to make guess. w
Since President Cleveland made
an address at the opening of the
Pan-American Medical Congress,
now in session, there has been q
decided "let up on the silly sto-
ries about his being in bad health,
stories which never had any better
foundation than the imaginations
of their disseminators.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
this week introduced q concurrent
resolution for the appointment of
q Joint committee on finance, to be
composed of seven Senators ana
seven members of the House, for
the purpose Of making an exami-
nation into the financial and mon
etary condition of the Government
and people of the United States.
The resolution enumerates the fol-
lowing subjects to be investigated
and reported upon by the commit
tee at an early date:
The full or partial demonstration of
legal tender silver coins; the ratio which
should be established between gold and
silver; laws relating to legal tender and
for the prevention OF unjust discrimina-
ton in the several kinds Of money, the re-
peal embarrassed condition of the people
and the national banks, and what further
legislation is necessary to prevent nation
al banks abusing their power under the
law.
The last subject is particularly
interesting just now. in view of the
statements that certain New York
National banks made more stlian

premium, while declining TO cash
checks.

at the Seney-StOval chapel this afternoon
in memory of George I. Seney, the friend
and benefactor of Lucy Cobb Institute.
Mr.. Seney, it will be remembered, apprO-
priated SIS, 600 with which to build this
beautiful chapel, and since that time he
has taken great deal of interest IN the
success of Lucy Cobb Institute. The
prime cause of his donating this amount
was a letter written him by Miss Nellie
Stovall, now the wife of Billups Phinizy.
Miss Stovall had just graduated at Lucy
Cobb, and, seeing where Mr.. Seney had
made u donation to some southern col
lege, she decided that she would write to
him and il possible induce him

1t was but short while until Mr. Seney
answered her letter, and the result of it
was donation of $751; 900 with which this
beautiful chapel was built, and which to-
day bears the name of the two-Seney-
StOvall chapel.
Mr. Seney's memory was fifty honored in
the tribute and reverence shown by those
who were present.

two years sentence for burglary, ana only hdu
seven months longer to serve. he was a
skilled mechanic and made himself a dupli-
cate key which he used to unlock the door 10
the post from which he escaped. He was
taken out at about o clock in the morning

cape up the banks of the canal.
DIT Under who was in Columbia Friday, Is
very much exercised over the effort 70 get up
a sentiment to have the sentences Of the Ak
kinsOns committed to life Imprisonment. He
says thatthe men are guilty Of as foul a crime
as has ever been committed and that the petl-
tiOns for a Communication do not represent the
real feeling of the people OF the county. In
the town Of Ridgeway, where counter petl-
ton is being gotten up, seventy out of seventy
three residents Of the place signed the petit
ton asking the governor nottolnterfere with
the sentence. DR.. Under says that the only
ones who are signing the petition for the com

or are doing so simply because they do not
want it said that a hanging has taken place IN

A Lady Introduces the Jenness Miller
Equestrian Costume.
The first lady to brave public opinion
in this city by adopting the new style of
horseback riding-that is, by riding as
men do, instead of using a side-saddle-
rode through the streets yesterday, ac-
companied by her husband. OF course,
she attracted considerable attention from
people on the sidewalks, but the general
verdict was that the lady had made a hit.
and that her style of riding was far and
away superior TO the old style.
The fair questrienne-who, by the
way, was graceful and evidently an ex-
perienced horsewoman-wore a dark
blue habit OF the divided skirt pattern.
which has been so often described in the
papers of late. 1t is in reality double
gown, falling on either side of the horse
and enveloping the riders limbs Just as
the ordinary riding skirt does on one
side.
There was nothing awkward nor I'M
graceful about il; on the contrary. the
lady sat her horse with so much more
ease and grace than is possible under the
old method that the only wonder is that
ladies had not adopted the style long ago.

Nicolaus. Sutter County, VIII Be Cut

The break in the levee of the Feather
River near the town of Nicolaus
is threatening to become a very
serious matter. A sand bar is forming be-
low the break, which will effectually de-
stroy navigation on the Feather River
during ordinary and low stages of water,
and the main volume of water now flows
east into the American River basin, COW
ering all the valuable lands with sand.
The people of Nicolaus and vicinity are
desperate, and have appealed for aid to
the local Government engineers in vain.
AS a result the following telegram was
yesterday transmitted to Washington:
To Hon. Il. Caminetti, Member of Con-
gress: We respectfully call your atten-
tion to the fact that there is a break in
the Feather River levee, about eight miles
above its junction with the Sacramento,
that threatens the destruction of naviga-
ton in the Feather, and ask that you i'm
mediately call the attention of the War
Department to the serious situation and
urge the examination and prompt repair
Of the crevasse if possible.
