Democrats to Trv Force

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The
Democratic managers in the
House today decided to take hero =
ic measures to force Republicans

The committee on rules, consist
ing of Speaker Crisp, Messrs.

crush filibustering, making the
failure to vote punishable by fine.
The Republicans having cognizance
of the rule by which their hands
were to be tied, before the meeting
of the House, Messrs. Reed and
Burrows determined to contest
every inch of the ground,
and a fierce parliamentary
fight was Immediately pre-
cipitated. Speaker Crisp, however,
was in no humOr for trifling, and
with stern hand he swept aside
all opposition, and forced the fight
on the main issue. AS soon as the
Journal had been read, he recog-
nized Catchings, from the COM
mittee on rules, to present the re-
port.

Hardy Climbing Roses.

Cleveland Leader.
In the prairie rose we have a
class of hardy native climbing ros-
es often found growing wild in
Michigan and the Western states
which we may plant with conf
dence. Two of the more common
ly known roses of this class, which
are favorites everywhere on ac-
count of their hardness, free
blooming, and the fact of their
flowers appearing just after the
other varieties are nearly over, are
Queen Of the Prairie and Baltimore
Belle, varieties raised in the year
1S43 by rose-grOwer named Feast,
in Baltimore, from seeds of the
wild prairie rose crossed with some
European variety. These two, the
former red and the latter white,
when grown near each other, on
the same porch, or with inter-
twining branches, heighten each
others beauty by contrast. Both
are of rapid growth, and may be
employed to advantage for cover
ing any unsightly objects, as walls,
old trees, old buildings, etc. Among
the most desirable roses of the
prairie class we have Annie Maria,
vigorous, pale pink, very few
thorns; Baltimore Belle, pale blu
ish, changing to white; Gem of the
prairies, free, believed to be from
Queen of the Prairies crossed with
Nine. Laffay, rosy red, occasionally.
blotched, with white large, flat
flowers, slightly fragrant; Queen
of the Prairies, vigorous, rosy red,
frequently with white strip, me-
dunn, or large size, double, foliage
large, five leaflets, quite serrated;
Triumphant, vigorous, rosy pink,
medium size, double or full, dis
tinct, seven leaflets are common.
