We have about 15,416,OO voters in
the Unitei States. There are 432
members in Congress. This gives one
member for every $4,000 voters.
There are about 100000 lawyers,
which would entitle them to three
members in Congress.
There are only about IL 900 ban kers,
which does not entitle them to sin

give them one.
There are 100000 farmers which

There are about 2,615,000 mer-
chants and special tradesmen, which

FEMALE VOTERS.

The Woman Suffrage movement in
New York is engaging more than
usual attention. The newspapers and
the fearful cry let the preachers keep
out of this fight because, as they say,
preachers are accustomed to one
sided argument, and can say from
the safe harbor of the pulpit many
things that would not go undisputed
or unanswered on the stump. 1t does
begin to look in some quarters as
though the evil day Of female suffrage
were about to dawn upon us and
knock the bottom out of mans ar
rangments for his many little comforts,
indulgences, innocent amusements, sc.
1t looks that way in New York, they
say, and hence the cause of mans
general alarm in York State.

TRIAL OF COMM0NwEALERs.

In the trial of the rampant " COM
monwealers " and work-escapers law
yers differ as to their culpability. The
case was called for trial on the 4th
inst. IN the police court of Washing
ton City. They were charged with un-
lawful display of banner or device
in the Capitol grounds, and in break
ing down shrubbery and other plants
there.
Coxey's lawyer moved that the in
formation be quashed, as the law was
void in prohibiting the Constitutional
right of petition. The motion to
quash was over-ruled, and jury was
finally selected and sworn in, Without
concluding the case the court adjourn
ed at A o'clock,
Resuming the trial, on the 9Th inst.
the "commonwealers" were found
guilty by the jury. The penalty is a
fine not exceeding $roo and imprison,

MONEY IN THE DUMP.

A score OF people laboring under
The delusion that fortunes in cold cash
could be found in dump of Duval
street, near Green, Germantown,
could be seen recently digging up
the refuse with sticks and bars.
Their belief that money could be
found in the bank was prompted by
the tact that six year old 1illie Hill one
Friday evening found a pocket book
containing $500.
The little girl was digging in the
bank the same as many Others of her
age had been every time fresh cart
load went over the dump, in expecta-
ton that she would find, not money,
but toy of some kind.
Tillie did not realize the Importance
OF her find, but thinking it was of
more than ordinary import hurried
home and gave it to her mother.
Mrs. Hill is poor woman, and the
money would have proven a godsend,
but she concluded that it was not
legally her property and she turned it
over to Lieutenant Buchanan. The
police were unable to find any clue to
TIE owner of the money, and, unless
one is found the money will be re-
turned to Mrs. Hill.
1t is supposed that the pocket book
was gathered up with refuse from the
house of some of the wealthy residents
of Germantown and carted to the
dump,

CALIFORNIA; MID-WINTER FAIR,
An Exposition on the Golden Coast, in the
Land Of Sunshine.

1t was bold suggestion, the hold.
ing of an international Exposition,
projected by State on the extreme
western confines of the continent,
almost Immediately upon the close Of
the greatest and most successful
Worlds Fair that was ever participated
in by the nations of the earth. But the
enterprise was in the hands Of people
bold In enterprise, determined in
execution, able in management, origi-
nal in planning, resourceful in ex-
pedients. These mastery abilities
were brought into service, and the
result has been infinitely creditable
not only to the promoters, but to Cali
fornia and to our country.
The Mid-winter Fair, which hence
forth must be a part of American
history, opened on January 27 with a
display of architectral surprises, and
wealth of exhibits that has amazed
the world. The main buildings rivaled
IN beauty those of the Columbian Ex-
position, while the features were
scarcely less interesting It is unfortu-
nate that, owing to distance from the
centre of population, SO few persons
can afford to visit this really great
fair. This regret is largely compensa
ted, however, by the publishers of the
Magic City" portfolio of Exposition
photographs, who with most commend
able enterprise have added to their
Worlds Fair series of photographs,
two special numbers which contain
twenty four pages and fifty views OF
the principal attractions of the Mid
winter Fair. These picture not only
the large buildings, but also the
Oriental corresponding
to the Midway Plaisance-feature:
and especially the reproduction OF
life in California in "the days of old
the days of gold" These two mum
bers make a delightfully."- charming
conclusion to the Magic City
Worlds Fair views, and everybody
should get them. They may be OBJ
tanned through the COLUMBIAN upor
the same terms which have governed
the distribution of previous numbers
of Magic City" No. II will con
tain eight photographs Of World:
Fair views, and eight Mid-winter Fair
pictures. No. IS, which concludes
! the series, will be devoted entirely tc
the California Exposition. Ten cents
and one coupon will secure either o.
these splendid parts back numbers
supplied upon the same terms.

Locusts To Follow The Small -Pox.

Next month, according to Washing.
ton reports, we are to be visited by
great broods of " cicada " or "seven-
teen.year locusts." The insects, it
seems, are now in their incubators un-
der-going the process of hatchlng.
Should this prophesy prove true, there
is no telling what our now promising
harvest will be, as all will depend up
on their numerical strength and con-
sequent ravages upon all kinds of veg
citation. By some it is claimed the In
sects anticipated will not be locusts,
but grasshoppers, and that the injury
is apt to be serious only when they
are exceptionally numerous.
The writer has seen grasshoppers so
numerous in Texas, as TO veil the sun
and cover the earth and all manner of
vegetation. We have seen promising
crops and thriving gardens completely
destroyed in less than half hour after
the flood Of grasshoppers once settled
upon them. AT every step hundreds
would jump out from under ones feet
in walking, and after consuming every.
thing green or succulent we have seen
them tackle the moss on fence rails
We know of no worse calamity thai
might befall the farmer than just q
long continued grasshopper plague.
Being migratory in habit, they only
stay long enough to clean up the more
desirable grasshopper food, when they
skip and fly along to fresh fields o
ravishment. Those we saw were in al
stages of advancement, from the gray
old grandady hopper down to the
mere mite just able to skip; but they
manage some how to keep along with
the old folks. Where they al come
from or go to is only one more of tht
many unsolved mysteries surrounding
us in Gods providence. According tc
the Washington entomologist's reckon
ing these insects, whether locusts O
hoppers, will make their appearance
during the last week of this month.

The right of employing nuns to
teach our secular schools is to be de-
cided in court. OF eight teachers
employed in the town Of Gallitzien,
six are Sisters of Charity. This in
novation on the part of the priest
hood will either bend the Church OF
Rome into accepting the rules and
regulations governing protestant free
schools, or else it will take from under
their control and teaching all protest
ant scholars. In the land of the free
there can be no affiliation with Roman
notions about education or religion.
