Hard Times in Australia.

A recent arrival from Australia re,

thousand in the smaller city of Sydney.
Throughout the entire country, too,

now get but two pounds or three pounds

A New Immigration DODGE.

1t is noted in New York that there is
a surprising number of Americans" re-
turning from Europe just now, "Ameri-
cans" that seem to be at home in every
language but United States. One ship
arrived few days ago with over nine
hundred Storage passengers on board,
all of whom were either American citi-
zens or the relatives of American citi-
zens, or tourists. There can be no mis-
take about this, because the steamship
company had certificates to that effect,
sworn to by the European agents. So
of course the passengers must all have
been what they were said to be. Had
it not been for the immigration trouble
the United States authorities might
still be ignorant of how many poor
American citizens have been wandering
in foreign parts. No one knows why
they have all been rushing home SO fast

decided against immigration.

THE SOUVENIR DEMOCRAT.

The success that has attended the
DEMOCRAT in its effort to compile and
issue a souvenir of Waterbury is more
than gratifying. What was merely a
contemplated enterprise is now an as
sured success.
This art number will contain forty or
more pages with vivid productions on
the half tone process, of the fine resi-
dences, busy factories and prosperous
stores of this thriving community.
There will also be shown portraits of the
live men who made it such, and at the
present time are engaged in business or
professional pursuits.
The fact that over 100 illustrations
have already been secured shows con-
clusively that the effort on the part of
the DEMOCRAT to publish this art
number is justly appreciated.
Those who desire. copies to send to
their friends should order them either

SENATE AND HOUSE.
Discussion of the Quarantine and Immi
grafton suspension bills.

Discussion of the Quarantine and Imnli
grafton Suspension Bills.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE session OF
the House was an uneventful one. The
attendance was small, and nothing but
private business was considered. About
20 private pension bills We're passed, and
the House adjourned.
The session of the Senate was given UP
exclusively to the consideration of the
bill on the subject of quarantine regula-
tions and it's correlative measure, the
bill to entirely suspend immigration fol
one year.
Mr.. Chandler (Rep. N. H. spoke fol-
about three hours, devoting most of his
argument to the last mentioned bill, al
though the other was really the one that
was up for discussion. To this latter,
however, an amendment was pending
to authorize the President to issue IL pro
clamation suspending immigration from
countries where cholera may be prevail
ing.
Mr.. Chandler treated this proposition
as an act of cowardice on the part OF
Congress, in imposing responsibility
upon the President instead of taking that
responsibility itself.

Compromise Silver Bill Appar
emily Not Acceptable.
THE SUSPENSION OF IMMIGRATION

Senator Chandler Pleads in the Senat,
for More Stringent Measures Agains
Cholera Coal Combine Investigator,
viii Soon Report-Latest Cabinet Slate
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Silver bill
presented by Congressman Culberson as
compromise measure, aimed to reconcile
those in the House demanding the abso-
Lutte repeal of the Sherman law and the
Bland men who insist upon free coinage,
is not apparently acceptable to either
Mr.. Bland declares that the operation OF
the Sherman act has produced Il condition
the remedy for which is found only in free
coinage, while the anti-free coinage lead
ers maintain doggedly that the purchase
principle of the Sherman act would be
perpetuated in restoration of the ole
Bland act, and that the Sherman act
should be repealed absolutely,
Mr.. Culberson's action in attempting
to avert a protracted fight over silver is
significant in that he has been from the
first one of the sturdiest and most active
advocates of free coinage. Mr.. Culbersou
exerts a strong influence with the Demo
Gratis from the South, who have the
highest respect for his Judgment.
AS his bill has been referred to NJ.
BANDS committee, it is not expected
that it will find its way back to the
House.
If it does not, no matter in what form
the matter comes up for consideration,
Mr.. Culbersor will probably offer his bill
as substitute, and in that event the
fight is certain to develop some curious
complications.
MIR. Culberson will oppose the absolute
repeal of the Sherman act, as will his
Southern colleagues, but his substitute
will command IL number of supporters.
Among them the Bland men will oppose
Mr.. Culberson's compromise, us well Us
the original proposition.
If, as has been reported, Mr.. Cleveland
has advised the revival of the Bland act
as Il compromise, the anti-frec-coinaGt
men may be induced to accept Mr.. Cul
berson's bill. If that should be done the
Bland men will tillbuster, with II good
chance of preventing its passage.
Mr.. Pierce, Mr.. BANDS first lieutenant,
is confident that at least one-tifth OF the
Democrats will oppose unalterably any
measure but one providing for free coin
age. Mr.. Pierce does not believe that a
majority of the Democrats in any event
will petition for a closure rule, and so he
thinks there will be no silver legislation
at this session. No matter what combi-
nation may be made, without Il closure,
no silver bill will be passed.
The anti-free silver men are equally
confident that the Sherman act will be
repealed, if not outright, with some com
promise amendment.

Counterfeit souvenirs.

Thomas Carter, secret service officer
for Indiana, believes the most gigantic
coupterfeiting job that was ever under
taken will be started soon, if it is not
already under way. II refer to the
eounterfeiting of the souvenir coins of
the Worlds Columbian exposition" he
said. Il shall be surprised if those
coins are not counterfeited and if the
countcrfcits are not soon on the market.
1t will be possible for the counterfeit
crs to use the same metal that the gov
crnment has used in the original coins.
The coins when completed will cost
about forty cents each and if sold for
one dollar, as they doubtless will be,
the makers will have a profit of sixty
cents on each coin. 1t will be a difficult
matter to distinguish the genuine from
the counterfeit and l shall not be sur
priscd if as many of the counterfeits as
the original are sold in Chicago next
year"
Capt. Porter, of the United States Sc
cret service at Chicago, says: 1T is per-
fcctly possible to make a coin of coin
silver so nearly like the souvenir Us
to be practically beyond detection, and
they might be poured into the country
towns in great numbers by sharpers.
The coins would be somewhat lighter
than the genuine, but the ordinary run
of people would not notice the differ
encc. l expect to find a lot of counter
felt souvenirs before the novelty of
them has worn off. think the policy
of placing premium on the coins was
very foolish thing. 1t was the great
est incentive to counterfeits ever
known"
In view of this possibility it behooves
the people of this country as we'll as
for counterfeit Columbian coins.

that Gray of Indiana will be made Secre-

DIPuTuERIA has recently been preva-
,ent among the school children of De-
troit. Mich, and the charge is made by
DIR. Il. S. Farnum of that city that the
disease has been spread by interchang-
ing lead pencils. The board of educa-
ton furnishes pencils for all the schol-
ars and the latter are not allowed to
use any others. The scholars get one
pencil to-day and another tomorrow,
all the pencils being dropped into a
box at the close of school each day. 1t
is no cXagGeration to say that the aver
age child using lead pencil will put
the lead end into it's mouth forty times
a day, and with the pencils going from
one child's mouth to another from day
to day it is easy to see that the practice
might become very dangerous, while Of
course it is unclean.

The successful boring of an artesian
we'll in the Colorado desert is in the
opinion of the San Francisco Call a
hopeful omen for the reclamation of
that region. A mighty stream of water
rose from q great depth-cool, pure
water-and continues to flow. Other
boring will doubtless be carried out,
and then will the desert blossom like a
garden. The soil without water is arid
ity itself, but the elements of fertility
are there as much as in other parts of
California, provided irrigation is pos
sible. From this point of view the dis
covery is one of the most important
that has occurred in the state. 1t may
result in the conversion of a great re-
gion to profitable use and bring mil
lions to the holders of what is now re
graded as worthless land.
