When McLauren, the new Senator from
Mississippi, arrives in Washington there
is going to be oratorical cyclone.
A Mississippi paper pronounces
"his logic and his methods
simply irresistible and his style that OF
the force of logic rather than the per-
suasion of eloquence." Perhaps Nc

Under the Interstate commerce law
railroad that is a common carrier be-
tween the States is liable to heavy
favor of one shipper or against another.
The railroad must make the
same rate for everybody The officers of
the railroad guilty of such discriminat-
ton are also liable personally to impris-
onment and fins When, some years ago,
a prosecution was instituted under this
clause of the law the shipper and the
officers of the road making the alleged
discrimination refused to testify on the
familiar ground that no person could be
compelled to give testimony which
would inculpate himself. This was held
to be valid excuse by the courts, and
so the law became imperative. Suisse
quently Congress undertook to cure the
defect by an amendment providing that
the person testifying should not be La
bic to punishment. But now Judge
Grosscup of Chicago holds that Con-
gress has not succeeded in remedylng
the defect; and that under the law as it
now exists the witness cannot be made
to testify when he alleges that his testi-
mony will incriminate himself. 1t this
opinion is sustained by the full court,
the law will be rendered nearly worth
less SO far as the punishment Of rail-
roads for discriminating in rates. for If
the shipper canont be compelled to tes-
tify nor any officer of the road the
chances of getting legal proof of the
otfense will be exceedingly small.
Possibly Congress may be able to supply
a remedy, though that isn't probable.

The Wilson bill has to all 1nGenbs ana
purposes been taken out of the sub-com-
mitee of the finance committee OF the
Senate and placed in the hands of a
Deroocratic senatorial caucus. For two
DAYS this caucus has been considering
it, with the result of showing that the
bill must be modified in many material
points in order to stand any chance OF
passage. The Louisiana men are deter
mined that sugar shall be taken from
the free list, land duty of cent and a
half pound put upon it. So dead in
earnest are they on this point that Mr..
White has threatened to delay taking his
seat on the Supreme bench in order to
be able to fight for it on the floor of the
Senate. Free coal isn't popular in Mary
land and West Virginia. and German
threatens to kick unless duty is placed
on that article. Senator Pugh is resist
ing free iron on behalf of his constituents
in Alabama, and there is a pretty strong
sentiment among some Southern Sena-
tors in favor of duty on lumber.
Some six or seven Democratic Senators
are pretty sure to vote against the bill
as it now stands, and unless they can be
reconciled by giving them the conces-
sions which they demand, the bill has
little chance of becoming law. On
the other hand, if the changes are made
about every feature in the bill which the
free traders have contended for will have
been abandoned, and the only difference
between it and the Mckinley bill will be
in the degree of protection. In principle
it will be a protective measure, but
with protection SO inadequate and so bad
ly arranged that it's immediate effect upon
most of our industries will be as bad as
strictly revenue measure, while it
will afford the people no chance to judge
between the two rival systems.

La GRPPE.-A physician who has
just passed through an attack of this
distressing disease thus writes to a
| friend in New York: "Did you ever
have this Internal disease that they
call the grippe? II not, don't. [ have
been through it for the last six weeks,
and am ready to give my friends the
benefit of my experience. It is GER
tainly the most diabolical malady that
ever got out of Pandora's box. If the
old girl has anything worse in re-
serve, I trust she will keep the lid of
her Saratoga safely locked, and then
kindly sit on it. Sneeze, freeze to
death, burn up, have your energy
Slapped, let all the clouds Of heaven
lower over your head, get on familiar
terms with all the blue devils that
ever escaped by volcanic exit from
equatorial eternity-do all this and
keep it up for six weeks, and Their

comes altogether of the too conscious

THE MASTER OF BALLIOL AND
THE WASHERWOMEN.

Jowett's brevity Of speech and des-
patch of business never shone more
than on the great occasion of his deal
ing with the refractory washerwomen
of Balloil. These worthy danes struck
for higher wage in one department.
Twelve collars for shilling was,
believe, the statutory price. They
came to interview the master.
s'The washerwomen have come to
see you,'' said the butler.
HShow the ladies up" said the mas
ter. They dumped into the room to
find him fiddling with the poker at
the ashes in the CRATE. He turned
round. "Win you wash twelve col
lars for shilling they began to ex-
postulate. He touched the bell: in
came the butler ''Show the ladies
down."
Presently the butler appeared again.
''They seem very sorry, sir,-would
like to see you again.
"Show them up" The washerwo-
men found the master intent, as be-
fore, on the fire CRATE. "Win you
wash twelve collars for shilling?'
piped his CHEEKY little voice. A stall
wart speaker began to make explana-
tons. He touched the bell. '.Show
these ladies down." said he; and down
they went. Again the butler ex-
pressed a hope that he would see
them. "Certainly: show them up"
They entered the room. "Will you
wash twelve collars for shilling?"
eve WILL" they cried. ''Thank you:
good day,good day." said the master;
and, touching the bell, he said, "Knight,
show these ladies down" And the
strike was over.

QUEER PHENOMENA.

I am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices of stone or
other heavy body dropped from the
top of high tower, but it is never
theless curious fact that such bodies
invariably fall slightly to the east Of
the perpendicular lines.
Persons OF inquiring turn Of mind
who ask why this is as it is may find
an answer in the following:
All falling bodies partake of the
earth's eastward motion to a greater
or less extent. Therefore during the
time occupied by a stone in falling
from the top of a high tower or other
eminence the earth's rotary motion
has carried it an appreciate distance
to the east. The initial impetus of
the stone has carried it an apprecia-
BILE distance to the eastward also,
therefore it strikes the earth to the
east of the perpendicular, varying in
degree according to the height from
which it has fallen.
A curious article on this subject may

our FIRST CORNISH MINERS.

Their Introduction Into the Mining Re-
glons of the Southwest.
Perhaps the earliest experiment in
introducing Cornish miners into the
southwest mining region was that
made in the '7Os by the English owners
of mines on the Maxwell grant, in Col
fax county, northern New Mexico.
The cowboys and Mexicans looked in
amazement at the immense, dark, mus
cular fellows from Cornwall, who were
SO handy at sparring and wrestling,
and who knew absolutely nothing
about gun" The cowboys and
miners got along together with rea-
sonable amity, and in later years, with
the general mining development in
New Mexico, other west of England
men have been brought by mining
companies, or have drifted on their
own account, into the mountain re-
gions of that territory Thus Briton
on approaching a little hamlet by
night, was surprised and pleased to
hear the heartiest and jolliest of old
English ditties, sung with the broad

companied in the proper places by Wig
orous stamping and chorus of manly
voices in the same brogue. He had
stumbled upon little settlement of
Cornishmen, esta blished a short dis
tance west of Pinos Altos, and known
as EtJaclztown.3

catching a glimpse of black fur, but

William had placed it the night before
