side. and quilted across from side to side
at distances OF about fourteen inches. The
hay is put In lightly and the remaining side
sewed down. When the hay becomes limp
hang the quilt before the fire and 1t soon
becomes crisp again. The warmth OF these

A (IOIUHF RULE.

Senator Vest did a wise thing when he
introduced a resolution into the Senate
on Tuesday providing for cloture rule.
and Senator Daniel represented the
wishes of his constituency when, in the
caucus of Democratic senators, he pressed
for having that adopted as party
measure If the Democratic senators
have any sort of knowledge of the wishes
of the American people, or any regard
for those wishes, they will adopt a propo-
sticn for a cloture rule as a party meas
ure. they will bring it forward at once
and they will sit in heir seats from this
day forward, night and day, until they
compel the Republicans 10 yield and per
NIT the rule to be adopted
Our special Washington correspondent
said in his letter yesterday that while
il was recognized in Washington that
the public opinion Of these United
States is in favor of the adoption of this
rule it is fairly safe TO predict that such
a measure will never pass the present
Senate.
Could there be a more complete vindca-
ton of the demand that senators shall
be elected by the people? Buying their
way, as many of them now do, through
the State Legislatures, they snap their
fingers at the people and defy them.
The Constitution should be promptly
amended so as to make senators elected
by the people, when we will again have
a Government responsive to the wishes
and views of an intelligent public opinion.

ACOIIRE THE WILDERNESS.

This Government has already purchased
the territory on which the battle Of
Chickamauga was fought. and has con-
verted ii into national park. We see
that bin has now been offered in Con-
gress TO purchase the battlefield of
Shiloh. We most heartily approve of the
purchase of the Chickamauga battlefield
and Of the proposal to purchase that of
Shiloh. Both of these battles were import
ant historical events. and the General
Government should own both fields as
national parks, to which all the people
of the nation may resort at their pleasure.
But there Is another battlefield. which
so far tIanscends them in interest and
toned at the same time. That is the
territory in the lderness about Chan
CeilorsVine, and up 10 where General
Grant crossed the Rapidan. That is the
most important historical territory in this
Union. II comprises the scene of the battle
OF Charlottesville and of that weeks des-
perate fighting in May, 1864. his territory
should be acquired by the Government,
and fitted up as a national park with
properly marked lines and positions. so
that future ages of American citizens may
see the places where their ancestors did
as much 10 illustrate the FIBRE and char
acter of American citizenship as all the
rest of their history can show.

JOHN RURNs TIRE LABOR AGITATOR

The English labor agitator, John
Burns, who Ia now in New York. seems
20 be a m1I of sense. He has had an
interview with d reporter for the New
York Herald. which interview Is general
w conservative and free from the ex-
IRENE views Of many Of his class.
Amongst other things he remarked on
the want of light and air. and the ar
ranEements Of passages and yards in the
tenement houses occupied by laboring
men in New York. lie said that even
in the poorest districts of Whitechapel,
London. there was no such dirt squalor
and unsanitary conditions as he had
seen in New York tenement settlements.
All these matters are governed in Eng
land by statute laws, which are rigdly
enforced.
These are matters which labor agita-
tors may well insist that the law-makinG
power shall take under its control and
control them efficiently. If labor agita-
tors would confine themselves to objects
of legitimate governmental control like
these, they would receive the cordial
aid and assistance of all the conserva-
tive elements of society in their strug-
giles. But when they demand that the
lawmakers shall regulate the wages that
employers are 10 pay they ask govern
ment to do something that government
cannot do and that would end all gov
eminent and produce anarchy If their
demand were yielded to.

THE WALTON Law
Worked Like n Charm IN Bristol-A Word
from Caroline

Editor Times: Whatever objections
may be raised TO the Walton law in other
parts of the STATE. 1t Is a fact that II
worked like charm in Bristol, and both
parties were perfectly satisfied with its
practical operation. From information,
believe II gave general satisfaction
throughout the Southwest.
To those who wished and expected that
there would be wholesale frauds under the
constable feature, the law proved fall
ure. But when they consider that the
law requires honest men to be selected
for constables. and the fact that those
officers are put under bond and heavy
