Are People Living Longer?

The careful examination of vital sta
tistics. it is generally conceded, indicates
that the average duration Of human life
has been increasing during the past two
centuries. But this does not necessarily
imply that a larger number of people
now reach the age Of seventy. eighty. or
even ninety than in times past. 1t means
only. that, taking thousand persons at
random, the average ageSof each at death
exceeds that Of the same number Of per
sons a generation ago. yet less people
in thousand now reach the age Of sixty
Two causes may be assigned for this.
One is that hygiene and hysical culture
are now better understood. and the NOR.
tality among children and young people
is much less. The other is. that the
strain upon people in middle life who
are doing the worlds work is much
greater, owing to the increased compe-
tition and the rushing methods Of bust
ness. These conditions cannot be
changed. but if one would live long there
must be seasons Of relaxation or yaca-
tion. Perhaps the best way to spend
such season is to travel to new scenes
and acquire in new ideas. Railroads are
the means Of travel. and among them all
none will take you in more directions or
make the journey so safe. speedy and
comfortable as the Burlington Route.

TWILIGHT.

A clear. pale sky-serene and autumn cold.
Thin floats the bIoyant crescent silver keen
Through luminous far drawn spaces family
green,
Save for one long. low. lingering II feak of gold.
Blue mists the hushed and supine land enfold
And dim the winding little rivers sheen,
Where, darkly clustered, shadowy Willows
lean.
And chill and heavy lie on plain and void.
Now a. the daylight's eager voices fade,
And life is narrowed to a shrinking span.
Atwilight breath Of calm and peace and shade
Now on the hot and restless heart of man.
From individual hopes and fears set free,
quiet touch from out the unknown is laid
The thought Of comprising eternity!

SPOKANE, March G.-The Great North
ern is having no end of trouble on the
line west Of here. There is washout
scattered along five miles Of track west
of lrby. ninet. miles from Spokane.
One train Is blockaded between two
sunken sections Of track and two others
make connections 10y running TO the
opposite sides Of the washout. \ double
handcar has been rugged up to transfer
passengers across the tive. mile gap, with
the help Of little wading where the
track is gone. Between Irby and Wilson
creek. the track crosses Crab creek and
runs along the bank for several miles
Friday the creek went on tear. and
took out a section OF embankment. That
afternoon the train was run as close to
the gap as possible and mired down. A
section Of track went out behind it, and
the passengers were left in a state OF
seige. The creek kept rising, and at last
accounts had broken holes in the bank
so that about five miles was impassdble.
Yesterday train was sent out from
Spokane. and handcar connections ef.
fected with the land locked train and
the other side Of the gap. Until repairs
can be made double trains will be run
and passengers transferred.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July Ex-senator
Villas, Of WisconSin, who was secretary
Of tho interior and later postmaster
general during Mr.. Cleveland's arst ad-
minlatratIon, replied at great longth to-
day to Senator Gorman's attack upon
the President For two hours he hold
the floor amid wrapt attention Of tho
senate and galleries, delivering his
acatching rebuke OF the Maryland sem
ator. He denounced Mr.. Gorman's as
sault as wanton, reckless and unjnstiG.
able. Though he declared that Mr..
Cleveland needed no defense at his
hands, he took up seriatim all the
charges made by Mr.. German and mot
them with mastery skill and logic. He
made his statement, he said, in the in
forest Of the truth Of history. Mr.. Cor
man was not In tho senate at the time
and to this fact the Wisconsin senator
called attention with regret. In con-
clusion he eulogized the personal char
acter aud public integrity OF MIR. CIeve-
land in tho most glowing terms. declar-
ing with dramatic fervor that the Pres
ident OF the United States, who had re-
ceived so many evidences OF the houor
and respect OF tho American people,
could not suffer from this uniustidabIe
attack OF the Maryland senator.
He has O right 10 say it after his con-
versation as detailed by Senator Jones;
he had right to insist and urge 1t by
proper means. But, II was said, that
the Presidents letter constituted an on.
croachment upon the prerogatives OF
Congress. His right to write and send
It was denied. Mr.. Villas quoted tho
text Of the letter. Was that the Ian
guage OF man who sought to reach bo-
yond his power? he asked. Was it not
rather tho honest outpouring OF q gen.
uine Democrat, addressing his follow
Democrats In support OF principles he
had 40 nobly carried through two try
ing Presidential contests2
Mr.. Villas then quoted and ranged
alongside Of Mr.. Cleveland's utterance
tho statement OF Mr.. German that tho
senate bill could not pass II II did not
have the hearty support OF Dir. cleve-
-" aAt tho very time when the President
was writing his letter TO Mr.. Wilson,"
Mr.. Villas went on dramatically, the
senator from Maryland and his coadIu-
tors were appealing to Mr.. Cleveland to
induce him to support them In an effort
to qualify the enactment OF Democratic
principles instead OF crystallizing them
into law. How utterly wanton Is this
cry OF interference now. Because he
has seen lit to throw the weight OF his
influence with the house in favor OF
Democratic principles, because he re-
fused to stand with them, they mako
his action ground OF complaint here
and in horror cry out against executive
interference.

ooratic Programme BClnS Carried Out.
WASHINGTON, D. O., July 26.-Repub-
lican tactics prevented the Democrats
of the senate from putting into elect
to-day the programme arranged In eau
Gus yesterday. They did not succeed
in getting tho bill back into conference
as thoy had hoped to do, but they
cleared the way 60 far as they wero able
to do 60, having Senators Villas and Caf-
ferry to withdraw their motions for the
instruction OF tho conferees. and by vot-
ing down Senator Hills motions with
the aid Of the Republicans.
But for the fact that tho Republican
side OF the chamber took up Mr.. Villas
idea the bill would have been referred
back before the close OF tho days ses-
sion. The Republican claim that be-
sided securing two Democratic votes

German and Gibson won tho day in tho
First congressional district, Democra-
tic convention. at least so fur as the
rosolutions are concerned. a resolu-
tion was offered by Mr.. Bryan which
endorsed the platform Of the national
Democratic convention HEARTILY and
unialteringly endorsed tho courae OF
the true patriot, tho President Of tho
United States, Grover Cleveland, for
his manly and uncompromising fight
for tariff REFORM" and demanded that
"the nominees OF this convention shall
bo in full accord with the President on
party principles and give to him thoir
unconditional support and shall be
sound on tariff reform" and demanded
that "the nominees Of this convention
shall be in full accord with tho Presi.
dent on party principles and give to
him their unconditional support and
shall be sound on tariff reforms"
The resolution was referred to COM
mittee, which reported a substitute
mildly advocating tariff reform. The
substitute was adopted after stormy
debate, during which tho nameS OF
Senators German and Gibson wore
hissed. In his speech MIR. Bryan
eulogised Mr.. Cleveland and spoke in
the seyerest terms OF tho people who
had betrayed the party. The chief an
tagonist OF Mr.. Bryan was Mr.. Charles
S. Darlington, Senator Gibaon's law
partner.
