Ignorance when combined with ego
tism is practically unassailable. This
explains why newspapers wasted their
space largely in explaining the proper
method Of voting the ballots. in the
recent election, and the county threw its
money away in providing sample ballots
and instructions to Voters" cards print
ed in three languages. Possibly for the
first lime, on election day, many men
realized, when within the curtained
booth and ballot spread out before
them, that there were some things in
this world they did not know by intui-
tion. -Four mistakes out of five in mark
ing the ballots are made by voters best
enabled to know just how to vote, but
who are too conceited to post themselves
and when they find themselves at the
last minute in quandary are asham ed
to ask judge for instructions. It is a
noteworthy fact that foreign born citi-
zens. many Of whom cannot read English,
| make the fewest errors. They take
pains to know they are right before go
ing ahead. Better be inquisitive than
ignorant.

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Most of the Session Devoted to the
Deficiency Bill.

hour in the House to-day a Senate bill
was passed making Labor day (the first
Monday in September) a legal holiday
Also a House bill, providing that IN all
claims arising under the pension laws Of
the United States the oath of private
soldier or non-commissioned officer shall
have the same force and effect as that of
a commissioned officer.
On motion of Mr. Snodgrass the House
bill was passed extending the time for
beginning the construction of a bridge
across the Hiawassee, Tennessee and
Clinch rivers, in the state of Tennessee,
authorized by an act of 1893.
The House then took up and finally
disposed of the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill for the year ending June
30, 1894 Most Of the session was spent
in consideration of the question of paying
the judgments rendered by the court of
claims in the matter Of claims on account
of Indian depredations. IL was agreed, as
the result Of three hours debate, to ap-
propriate 800, 900 toward the payment Of
the judgments, which aggregate $5l4 900.
The changes made in the bill added
net something over 100000 to the total
of the appropriations carried by it, max
ing it in round numbers 50, ,0O00OO.
BY consent, Mr.. Johnson, rep, of North
Dakota, was given twenty minutes in
which to make a speech respecting the
recent strike on the Great Northern rail
road, to show that the judicial and mill
tary arrangements of the government
were used TO aid the railroad company in
defeating the strike. He said James J.
Hill, president of the road, gave $50, 600
TO the democratic campaign fund in 1899,
1t a time when, as w. G. Whitney said.

and he intimated that the strong arm of
the government had been exerted in his
behalf as consequence thereof.
