THE democratic steering committee"
in the senate is charged with the duty
of keeping the majority out of trouble
and of trying TO devise some plan that
will keep the democrats together. OF
the FIVE members of this committee,
two-Ransom, of North Carolina, and
Gray, of Delaware-are unconditional
repeal men, and two-Voorhees, of In
diana, and Blackburn, of Kentucky
for repeal on condition that some sub
stitIte providing for the use of silver
money be provided, and ons-Gorman-
is on the fence. 1t is said that demo
cratic senators were loud in their abuse
of Mr.. Cleveland at the first caucus,
calling him traitor to the party, etc.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE.

The Washington CORE spondent of the
New York Herald, one of the leaders in
the anti-silver agitation, sends his paper
he result of canvass of congress in re-
gard to the silver question. According
to this canvass the senate stands: For
the unconditional repeal OF the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman law,
thirty-nile; for conditional repeal,
twenty; against repeal, fourteen; non
committal. ten. The house stands:
Fer unconditional repeal, 137; for con-
ditional repeal, 125, opposed to repeal,
sixteen; non-committal, twenty-four.
This accounts for eighty three senators
five senators not accounted for, Mr..
Morgan is absent, Mr. Beckwlth has
resigned, Dir. Perkins has not been
sworn in, and the seats of Mr.. Mantle
and Mr.. Allen Bre contested. Of the
representatives fifty-four eluded inter
view. By these figures, less than a
majority in either branch of congress is
IN favor Of the unconditional repeal of
the silver-purcbase law, and it is rot
probable that there are any errors in
favor Of silver in the estimate. The &C
ton OF Congress on the silver gu stion,
t. deal with which the extra session was
,alled. is still wrapped 10 uncertainty

PROF. cORWIN-BALLOoNIsT.r
a Hard Character Sent East Last
Night by Marshal Meade.

This morning Marshal Meade sent a
very undesirable character out of the
territory. The man in question is
James Kicker, wanted in Santa Fe and
Colorado for various serious offenses,
largely in the green goods way.
Kicker was arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal Slankard at
Phoenix last week. The marshal re-
ceieved description of Kicker from
Denver. saying that he was at large and
supposed to be in Arizona. The marshal
sent a copy Of the description to Phoe-
nix with the result of an arrest. There
he passed as "Prof James Corwin," a
balloonist.
That lie is an experienced jailbird
was demonstrated by an all but sue
cesful attempt at escape. Fine saws
were smuggled in to him by friends.
With these he had sawed off the bars
Monday evening, and was sticking out
his head and shoulders preparatory to
taking a sudden farewell when the
Jallcr stepped around the corner and
surprised him. Ten minutes more and
the Jail would have been empty.
Since the attempted escape unusual
watchfulness has been done by the
guards. They are glad TO be rid of him.
Kicker escaped from Jail at Santa Fe
few months ago. Several indictments
are against him there and in Colorado.

NO GREAT DANGER APPARENT.

There is, says the San Francisco Bull
ietin, now no doubt of the existence of
a few cases of cholera at the New York
quarantine, brought Oh the karam mia
from Naples. Yet it appears to excite
but little apprehension. When the first
cholere-strickens ship arrived at New York
last year wave of fear spread through
the country. Probably the resent con-
fidence grows out of the success which
was then reached il keeping the pest out
of the city. IL some other respects The
situation is better now than a year ago.
Than we were almcS taken b. surprise;
now we have had d year for preparation,
and much has bsen done. The whole
country has had cieaningup time. 1t is
noticeable th8s during the past year We
have been an unusually healthy people
This fact indicates that We have taken
care of ourselves and more generally OBJ
served sanitary rules as precau tIon
against disease. When the winter ap-
preached let year it was expected
that cholera would sub-ide ia Europe
only to break out with greater viclenc
during the following spring aid sum
mer. Instead of renewed enid emics the
disease has assumed a milder form
wherever it has reappeared at all
Vigorous action in Europe has done
much to keep down the scourge. 1t has
been smothered in Hamburg, whence it
assailed us last year. The danger now is
from French Mediterranean and Italian
ports. The comparatively small progress
mEde by the epidemic in western Eu-
rope during this summer had raised the
belief that we might escape altogether.
Yet the disease did not reach the port of
New York last year until the end of
August, while il is now not yet tn
middle of the month. 1t has two
weeks start in its favor. On the other
hand Communication between Naples
and New York is not SO quick as with
Hamburg and Havre. A cholera-in
fected ship from Italy is very likely to
be stopped at Gibraltar.

THE world is indebted to Pompeli r
the great industry of canned fruits.
Years ago, when the excavations were
just beginning, party of Cincinratians
found, in what had been the PANTRY of
the housa, many jars of preserved figs.
One was oponed, ard they were found
to be fresh and good. Investigation
showed that they had been put into the
for the heat to escape and then sealed
with wsx. The hint was taken, and the
next year fruit canning WAS introduced
into the United States, the process be-
ing identical with that in vogue at Pom
peii twenty centuries ago.

W0LFLEY CANAL FULL.
Water Now Ready to Turn on
the Land.
California Capitalists Buy 5000
Acres. to be Put Into Citrus
Growths.

The Peoria or Wolfey canal is now
full of water, high up the well-coa-
structed banks, from the town of ella
Bend to the headgates. The water is
ten feet deep for miles; and tie redemp-
ton Of the Giia valley is began.
List night, says Col G. NJ. Russell, of
the Arizonap, now in the city, the water
reached ella Bend. Five days ago the
water was turned into the canal, d foot
to the mile, and men and team fol-
lowed the flow down, to make repairs of
gopher holes, etc. This was done and
the banks and bottom stand the flow
well.
For the present, on account of con-
templated improvements below ella
Bend, the water will not be carried
farther down st press MT.
CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURALIsT5 THERE.
Men of money of California, at Los
Angeles and East Riverside, who made
their wealth in the growing of fruits,
have interested themselves to the extent
OF 5000 under the Woelfiy canal. Their
land lies below the town.
They have already put in twenty miles
of latersls, with headgates all complete.
The land will be planted in citrus fruits.
The purchasers express the mselves as
delighted with the prospect. They say
fruits will riDen three weeks to a month
earlier than in California. Their ex-
perience justifies them in saying that
the land is peculiarly adapted to citrus
grawths.
THE DAM.
The dam, says Col. Russell, is agood
structure, and has made a fine lake
there. The wat+r has been backed for
five mil 8. No floods can reach the
dam before passing through five miles
OF dead water. The water there is now
seven feet deeper than required for
irrigation. 1t flows through spillway
to the depth of two ard half feet, for
width of 600 feet. The depth of the
dam for 400 feet back is twenty-five
feet.

Every kind of wild west sport was

tying. He started after his steer at full
speed and was swinging his RATA to
Iasso it when the steer stumbled and
fell; the horse was so close upon the
fallen steer that It could not turn out
OF the way and ran into it, causing the
horse to turn a complete somersault.

The Violent Conrnotion

In the stomach and bowels produced by
a violent purgative and its consequent
drecching action, never are, because it
is Impossible they should be, followed
by permanent good effects. No specific
which weakens and convulses the or
gans Cor whose relief i, is us,d can do
good. Blue pills, calomel, podyphyllin,
salts and SIENNA, vegetable or mineral
purgative pills, are drastic remedies
generally void of benefit. A reliable
and effective substitute for them is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
effects a change both natural and
thorough in the bowels when they are
constipated. A sufficient and regular
secretion of bile by the liver and sound
digestion are also promoted by the Its
use. Malaria in all its forms, rheuma-
tism and kidney trouble are obviated
by this fine reformer of disordered
conditions of the system. A wineglassful
