An Artists Story.

Il had an experience last year which |
think was sufficiently thrilling to satisfy the
most adventurous mind " said A. d. Cooper
a St. Louis artist to the Globe Democrat
Il was down IN Georgia on a sketching tour,

boughs above me similar effect, though this

color, to viii the sun gave tinseled beauty.

which even now Irt call with a sense of hor-

green snake of considerable size was staring
at me with Its luminous, flame -colored eve

The Pnnlinr Bill.

1t Is expected that the Patterson bill
permitting railroads to pool their gross
or net earnings will come up in the
House at an early day. Il has been re-
ported fsvorably by the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce, and
it has also received favorable oonsidera-
ton from the committee that will have
charge of it when it reaches the Senate.
The bill is drawn carefully so as 10
give protection 10 both railroads and
shippers. It prohibits Determinations
aud unreasonable rates. II the roads
disobey in any Of the particulars in which
they are restrained the interstate com
merce commission will set aside the pool
ing arrangements, 1t being given the
power to do so.
This bill is very earnestly supported by
the railroads. Il will relieve them Of the
incessant war among themselves for busl-
ness II allowed 10 pool their earnings
rate cutting will be done away with, and
with fair rates business Will follow its
natural channels.
The small shippers approve the bill be-
cause they are the sufferers in the rate

able to command rates. and hence have
great advantages over the small shippers.
II the bill becomes a law all shippers will
be upon the same footing.
In fact, nearly every commercial body
in the country has passed resolutions ask
ing congress to permit pooling under pro-
per safeguards, and the recommendation
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion is in the same direction.
The interstate commerce commission
has the power to suspend the pooling law
by giving thirty days notice, and it is
authorized to do so if it finds the law is
not 10 the advantage of the public.
There is an appeal however, to the
supreme court from an order of the in
terstate commerce commission suspend
ing the law, and that body can put the
law in force again if it considers it advis-
able to do So
The railroads will be able to make bet
ter net earnings under the pooling law
without placing any heavier burdens
upon shippers, because they will cut off
the enormous expenses they are now I'M
der TO get business.

Electric Fans for the senate.

Our Washington dispatches, day or
two ago, reporting the proceedings of the
House, contained this paragraph "An
unusual buzz was heard in the hall, pro-
ceeding from the half dozen or more cleo
trio fans placed in position since the
House adjourned. The buzz seriously
added to the accustomed confusion of the
chamber, making it almost impossible to
hear anything at distance of more than
ten feet"
II is matter of record that many of
the great inventions were the result of
accident And now, by an accident, it is
made known how a great invention may
be made doubly useful in relieving man
kind of depressing influences.
Let the fans in the House, which evil
IDENTIFY are operated by the old-fashioned
rapidly moving motors, be transferred at
once to the Senate chamber, and their
places supplied with new fans operated
with the improved motors that move
slowly and with absolute noiselessness.
In the Houseit frequently happens that
the talk amounts to something, hence
silent fans are wanted there. But in the
v,
hence the more noisy the fans, the better
their chief purpose would be served.
II might seem like piling Ossa upon
Pelion to carry apparatus for creating
more wind into the Gave of the Winds"
of the capitol But the wind generating
powers of the fans would be the second
airy consideration. Their capacity
to buzz, and buzz, and buzz,
would be the main thing If
fyin' power" something like Sam
Weller's glasses, could be attached to the
fans, so much the better, They should
be arranged so that button, convenient
to Vice President Stevenson's thumb,
would control them, and a switch board
near the button would throw them in
gang or permit of the opera tion of one at
a time. Allen would need the whole
force of fans; one fan would drown out
some of the others.
With such an arrangement the country,
the correspondents. the official reporters
and the Vice President would be safe
from PETER, Stewart, Dolph, Hoar and
the rest, and the senators would
be safe from each other PETER
would get up to speak a few hours
on the need of issuing fifty billions
of paper currency to supply the people of
Kansas with ready-dug postholes; the
Vice President would touch the button
the buzz of the fan would drown PETERS
voice to everybody but himself; he would
ventilate his ideas, the fan would ven
tilate his whiskers; the other senators
would doe to the monotonous music of
the machinery in cooling breeze, and
everybody would be happy.
The only draw back about the scheme is
that Quay might attempt to get the buzz
of the fans into the Record as a part OF
that tariff speech of his that was begun
some months ago, and pending which the
| bill was passed.

A contractor engaged in levee work has
informed the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal that he has employment for 200 to
800 hands. He is forced to be content
with the services of half-grown boys liv-
ing in the vicinity of his work. He has
tried to hire men, without success. He
has appealed in vain to labor agencies in
st, Louis and Chicago. He says there
are places for 10000 men along the Mis-
sissippi river from St. Louis to New Or
leans at reasonable wages, but the men
cannot be had. The labor agents in the
large cities have written him that the
streets are full of idle men, but they re-
fuse to work. aust what they are wait
ing for is a mystery; they do not them
selves seem to know. The explanation
may be found in the paternalism that has
prevailed in the government under repub-
liean rule for quarter of a century, and
is now being preached by both republi-
cans and populists The idlers are wait

being taxed, or through the making of

Lord Salisbury is not above coming to
democratic America for a precedent in
legislation when he wants good one. He
thinks the United States laws restricting
immigration are very good, and wishes
England to copy them, to a certain ex-
tent. Under the prevailing English i'm
migration laws, Lord Salisbury says,
England is becoming the headquarters
for anarchy. If the English authorities
had the same powers as those exercised
by the authorities Of the United States,
the influx Of anarchistic immigrants
could be lessened. The agitators who
are now seeking asylum in Great Britain
are not of the stamp Of Kossuth and
