soLcIrous friends are deploring the

that on Monday, after days
rest. three or four steady customers
reluctantly returned; but even these
faithful devotees to the shade Of Minis
ter Sperry, turn sadly away on Tuesday.
These facts relieved the Cleveland ad-
ministration and the Wilson bill; but
they settled deep.hued gloom over the
pictorial front of the thinkle repository.
This gloom was not ollevlated when an
advertiser presented a thiukle paragraph
and demanded an explanation. The
thinker says:
Sitting on the top rail Of the fence OF
the present, and glanolng back into the
darkness Of the past, is wasting time
which might be used TO advantage In the

The Democrats Resolve to Put Special
Rule In Force.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-There was an
other day without progress over the JOY
O'Neill election case in the house, owing
to the absence of quorum of Democratic
members, and at the close of the proceed
ings il was as far from a conclusion as
when the deadlock began. Roll calls fol-
lowed one another in rapid succession, but
while there were known to be $50 members
on the floor the nearest the majority ever
came to quorum was 173-seven less than
enough.
Late i'm the afternoon the Democratic
leaders held consultation, and the result
was that the committee on rules was di-
rected to come to the assistance of the
house, and this morning a special rule was
TO be brought in covering not only the
Joy-O'Neill case, but probably also the
HilbOn-English cuse from the Third Cali

Seven Of the 10 days allowed by the con-
stitution for the consideration by the ex-

met over this bill has practically ceased,
for it has been made clear that throughout
the pendency of the bill at the White
House the president has shown the great

The chief cause Of complaint against
newspaper reporters is that they obtain
information Of the reprehensible, often
criminal, acts Of men who wish TO ap-
pear in the capacity OF public bene
factors. Men who have no doubt Of the
honesty Of their motives and Of the
wisdom Of their acts do not have that ex.
treme sensitivity against publicity which
sfllicts a man who falls into frenzy at
the presence Of a newspaper reporter.
Many an upright citizen does what he
thinks right and minds his own business
so strictly. that he doesn't care who
knows IT, There are newspaper
reporters, who, like any other
men, have their faults, and, who,
from lack Of tact, chiefly, make them.

whose conduct is not liable 70 public
censure; but for industry, intelligence,
honor and all Of the characteristics
which make man useful member Of
society the average modern newspaper
reporter is the peer Of any man. Reporters
do more good, they save more reputa
tions, they disseminate more Of the
sweetness and light Of modern oizillza-
tion than any other class Of men, They
write bettes argument than the lawyers
speak, they set broken arm before the
doctor gets there, they preach sweeter
sermons than the pulpit. The modern
reporter is the best engine OF modern

HeYermnn stln on Trlnl.

The kearsarge was wrecked ON Ronca-
dor reef on Feb. q Admiral Stanton was
ON the vessel, which was then the flagship
of the North Atlantic squadron. and Com
mander Oscar +. Heyerman was in COM
mand. The latter is now being tried by
court martial in New York as a result of
the wreck. The crew consisted of 200 sail
ors and marines. The navy department
took prompt measures to save the officers
and crew and chartered the City of Para
for the purpose. All those on the vessel
except one sailor were successfully taken
OIL the reef and safely landed at New
York. Measures were at once instituted to
save the wreck Of the gallant old vessel.
Congress without delay authorized an
expenditure of $4,000 TO be used for this
purpose. Secretary Herbert awarded the
contract TO the Boston Towboat company.
which dispatched q wrecking crew on their
vessel Orion. The towboat company will
secure some remuneration for the expense
entailed. but the limit was fixed by con-
gress within $4,000
The kearsarge was built at the Ports
mouth navy yard, New Hampshire. i'm
1861, and she belonged to the same class of
vessels as the Oneida, Tuscarora and Wa
chuse,t and was one of the old style wood
en- ships OF the navy. Ia fact, it has been
rather in commemoration of her past glory
that She has been kept in commission. IL
was ON June 10, 1864, that she fought and
conquered the rebel ship Alabama.
