GETTING RID OF cocKnoAcHEs.

N-ill't itiD Of tOtkHOAtHES.
A woman tells of getting rid OF
cockroaches in peculiar way. She
accidentally left her big tin cake box
open one night, and in the morning
found about pint of the reaches in
1t. These she destroyed and found
they were not so bad for day or two.
When they got thick again she con-
cluded to try an experiment, 80 she
steamed some dry cake and dropped
it in the cake box. When she went
to it the next morning it had nearly a
pint of reaches, and she kept this up
for n week and about rid her house of
the pests. The box was 50 deep that
they could not climb the unpainted
inside to get out, and the smell of tho
cake attracted them in great numbers.

The child s story of Jack, the CANT

of the efficacy of small ag 'ucies towards

A Penalty. Sore Enough.

The great State of Illinois elected
Altgeld to be her governor and sore
enough Is the penalty she has paid.
While he was nominated by great
and honorable party, he was supported
and probably elected by that thoroughly
un-American class, the anarchistic
socialists, and when he had pardoned
their friends and turned them loose
upon society he should have resigned
that act fitted the man to nicely and
and others pertaining to the office
of Governor OF State in the American
Union, if periodically performed, would
vomit him OF gall and bitterness enough
to quench square acre of the fire that
is awaiting such as be, IN the to be
hoped for, not too far distant great

state, which by some clever manage
ment was put through the Senate in
advance of the bill for the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico; but, from a
conversation l have just had with an
official whose relations with the Presi-
dent are close, I have no hesitation in
predicting that the bill will be signed.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has no
love for President Cleye land, because
of his financial opinion. Knowing that,
a democratic Senator who strongly OPP
posed President Cleyeland' 8 position on
the strike sat down beside Mr.. Stewart
and poured a broadside of abusive
adiectiyes, some OF them unprintable in
a family newspaper, into his ear. and
wound up by asking if he did not think
all the epithets deserved by Mr.. Q. II
should like to agree with yon," said
Senator Stewart with great elaboration;
"but 1 have already reserved all those
adiectives FOR John Sherman
There isn't so much satisfaction ex-
pressed by the members oflabor organi.
cations since the full significance of the
appointment Of that commission BY
President Cleveland is understood. The
commission has no authority to do any,
thing more than to Investigate, and it
cannot even do that, in the place where
investigation is most needed-at Full
man, III. The o Neil law, under which
the commission is appointed, only
authorizes arbitration when it is asked
for by both parties to controversy.
The only Investigation that can be
made under this law is of the sympathy
strikes on interstate railroads. The
commission cannot touch the original
strike at the Pullman companys works,
which was the cause of all the other
strikes. 1t is because of this unfortu-
nate Limitation that the House resolu-
ton authorizing the committee on In
terstate commerce to Investigate the
whole business will be pushed to adop-
ton regardless Of the action Of the Pres
ident.
The House Commerce committee is
trying to arrange to have the committee
on Rules set apart several days for the
Nicaragua canal bill, but so many other
committees are struggling to secure
time for bills in which they are especi
ally interested that success is uncer
tain. The element which IS opposed
to the canal bill will do all they can to
Prevent action at this session.

Somebody who had nothing better to
do started rumor that a move was to
be made to expel Senator PETER from
from the Senate because he made a
speech siding with the strikers and an
nouncing his Willingness to vote to
abolish both the Senate and the House,
and afterwards voted against the resolu
ton which endorsed the Use Of troops
by the President. This is rot of the
worst sort. Every Senator has right
to free speech and to vote as he pleases.
But even If Senator PETER has been
guilty of something for which he might
with justice be expelled there is no
probability that he would be, simply
because no member of the Senate has

Washington Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CORPEspoNDENT
WASHINGTON. d. c.. July 10th, 1894
The unexpected doesn't always hap
pen, Notwithstanding the adage that
says 1t does; but certainly the unexpec-
ted did happen when the U. S. Senate,
Y ich by its slowness has provoked the
Country for many months, broke the
record for speedy Legislation, by passing
in one week nine Of the regular annual
appropriation bills. 1t shows what the
Senators can do when they are anxious
to adjourn, for that is the real reason
for the rapid gate the Senate has struck.
This week 1t expects to pass the rest Of
the appropriation bills, and that will
throw the responsibility tor continuing
the session upon the shoulders of the
democrats who are members of the
Conference committee on the tariff bill.
The first week of the tariff conference
brought fourth no definite results. Ru-
mors are plenty, but 1T is reports from
the conference that the House and
Senate will have to act upon, and no
report Is yet In sight, and if any be
made this week 1t will probably be
merely dummy to test the sentiment
of either the House or Senate. There
is lots Of talk about the Senate weaken
ing, but the impression your CORES
pondent gets doesn't bear it out.
The House Judiciary committee has
fayorably reported the bill introduced
by Representative Lane, of Illir OILS,
providing that all contracts for the
payment of any sum of money, whether
stipulated to be paid in gold, silver or
coin, may be discharged by any money
which Is by law legal tender for the
payment of debts when the contract
natures. This bill is so palpably in
line with common sense that one would
suppose it would have no opposition,
but there are already indications that
1T will be opposed by the money lend
ers who insist upon the payment in

upon which they loan money.
There are rumors of an intention on
the part of President CleYeland to veto

SPOT THEM.

According to Superintendent BYRNEs,
OF New York, it would surprise the
American public very greatly If the
number OF Anarchists now in this cOun-
Try were published.
Mr.. BYENEs should publish this news
as soon as possible; 10 would be as use
ful as surprising. As an exchange re-
marks, il there IS a large number Of
Anarchists among us We ought TO know
where they are and what they are
doing. IL would c0nduce TO extermina-
tion II the names Of all who attend
meetings Of Anarchist societies were
known, not only TO toe police, but TO
that American public which is TO be
protected. The public would spread
the news, ana the Anarchist would be
known wherever he went.
Superintendent BYRNES looks upon
the law as the regulator OF crime. In
truth, the public must at most points
protect itself A few Anarchists may
be eft to the police. But the dark in
timatiou Of New Works greatest police
officer that we would be astonished 1t
we knew how many Of these criminal
fanatics dwell among US is more serious.
The public ought to have better in
formation. An Anarchist known aud
located by the public is an Anarchist
disarmed. The eyes Of American citi-
Esus would be upon his movements.
