The senate went into executive sas-

OF Chas. ID. Clark, nominated 10 be
Judge tor the eastern and middle dis
trlct OF Tennessee the 18th inst. and
who was confirmed Tuesday. This
prevents the issuance of commission
to the recently confirmed Judge and
leaves the case still pending before the
senate. '
The fact that the senate should qo
INTO executive session almost the mo-
ment after the session convened. indi-
Gated that something unusual had oc-
CURED, and as soon as the doors had
closed Senator Harris made a statement
TO the senate, AS said the nomination
of Clark had been endorsed by the bar
OF Tennessee and confirmation prompt
" followed, so that there might be no
delay in filling the vacancy existing
on the bench. Tuesday, however.
Harris said, he received an invitation
to call upon the encouragement. and
that official laid before him charges
that had been preferred against the
firm of which Clark was member, bv
a prominent legal firm of New York
City. These charges were that the
Tennessee firm had been gully Of I'M
professional conduct in accepting a fee
on both sides of the same case. The
Encouragement thought that charges
of this nature, coming from q reputa-
ble firm, should be investigated before
a commission should be issued to the
nominee; and in this opinion both SEN
ators Harris and Bates agreed 1t was
for the purpose Of putting the matter
before the senate that this executive
session had been called. Sena-
tor Bate corroborated what Harris
said, and the senate thought that no
harm would come to Mr.. Clark were
he not implicated in the charges by
having the whole matter investigated
Senator Hoar deprecated the undue
haste that had been recently displayed
in confirming nominations to Judicial
Offices, and said TINT this case, whether
the charges were true or false,
should suggest to the senate the
adyisability Of permitting the pub
lie to have proper notice Of the APP
pointment of men 10 Office by allowing
reasonable time to elapse before taking

committee on the Judiciary, with in
structions to investigate and report,

mission. The house urgent deficiency
bill for the eleventh census and for fees
of witnesses in the United States

was passed.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1894-12-28


Breckenridge, of Kentucky, from the
committee ON appropriations, reported
the urgent deficiency bin carrying
$500, 600 for continuing the work of
the eleventh census, $l25, 900 for sala-
ries and S175, 600 for printing reports.
He stated that it was now plain that
the urgent deficiency bill passed by the
house last week and including this,
with other items and the appropriation
for collecting the income tax among
them, would not pass the senate before
the HOLIDAYS, and unless this sum wns
appropriated the census bureau would
necessarily have to be closed, employees
dismissed and work stopped. Cannon,
of Illinois, said it was very proper that
this bin should pass, but he desired to
suggest the importance Of including
with it an appropriation Of $3.50, GOO;
also made il the bin passed last week
for The payment of Witnesses anu jurors

wns amended by insertion of 100000
for This purpose and aa the house

ported from the committee on printing

A Notable Book.
cal issues.

We would like to call attention to a
very notable and worthy book, which ig
now being placed before the people Of
Topeka, namely, the Rev. John Henry
BsErowB' story of the "Worlds Psrlia-
ment Of Religions" which was held in
Chicago during the month CT September,
1893.
This work, ss presented by Dr.. Bar
rows, is complets in every detail, show
ing the correspondence relative thereto,
which was conducted by Dr.. Bsrrows
personally on the one hand, and on the
other by heads or representatives OF the
various faiths, religions and scots of the
whole world, pro and con, giving,
verbGt6ns, all of the pGrliam entsry papers
which were read before this great as
sembly by the representatives Of their
respective fsiths-MGhomedsn, Con-
rucian, Fsvist, Buddhist, Jain. In fact,
all the known religions Of the world.
All Of these papers are copyrighted by
DR.. BsrroWs in England and America,
and cannot be published by any one
else.
There are several so-called Congress
Of Religions" on the market in one vol
ume Of something like 1000 pages Of
coarse print, cheap paper and cheaper
bindings, and sold for a corresponding
cheap price, which have been compiled
from newspaper reports made at the
time, which were necessarily cut and
abbreviated for lack Of space. Yet, the
publishers Of these utterly worthless
pirscies unblushingly put them out as
authentic reports" One of these re-
liable histories, Of which several have
been sold In Topeka, contains thirty-six
errors on one page, namely, page Sc.
Another one issues q circular to it's
agents calling attention to the coarse
print in their book, making it easier to
read. In this connection it might as
we'll call attention to the paper, which is
also coarse; to the fact that there are
only nine words per line, thus having a
good, wide margin, and only thirty-foTF
lines per page, or 3O3 words per page
and little over 1000 pages in one vol
ums. This would seem to be an sd.
vantage as against the Bsrrows book,
which is in two Volums, containing 1900
pages in all, with 300 hslf-tone engrsv-
inga The letter press averages thirteen
words per line and forty-four lines per
page, or 572 words per page, which
makes more than twice the amount Of
reading matter contained in the other
works, and, being in two volumes, much
easier to handle.
Before purchasing any work it would
be well to SEQ the Barrows, as there is
none other that is worthy of considsra-
tion. Burke & Chamberlain, of
Omaha, Neb., are general agents for
Kansas and Nebraska. Mr.. Eugene

The republican Kansas City Times is

very defective bribery law in Kansas.
This law imposes penalty on the giVer

legislator himself, and the Times de-
plores the fact that q man who is in the
Legislature for something besides his
health may not only accept bribs with
impunity, but may actually hold up and

getting to the top when the bottom is

translatlons would have been spprO-
pirate; il depended altogether on who
read it, and in what kind OF light he
looked at it. To the ambitious young
crowd 1t meant up in the clouds without
any difficulty; to the old crowd it might
mean up q tree with bull dog ct the
bottom.
The banquet was sumptuous, it wRs all
that the highly psmpered palate OF an
editor could demand. The bSnqueters
ROfe young men, ambitious young men,
promising young men. just the kind OF
men to draft q republican platform.
That was not the object Of the meeting,
but not q youth present but felt that
Providence had especially ordained him
for that purpose. Not one among them
but felt tinGling in every tissue OF his
"corporoSity" the ability to hew out the
plankB and frame platform that would
bear his party to victory. But no, that
was not the object Of their coming TO-
gether. They had assembled for the
purpose Of toasting the young crowd and
roasting the old crowd, Offering up, as 1t
were, the old crowd as a sacrifice that
the party might be cleanssd Of its inn
purities. And as the chicken COnsomme,
mushrooms, and green peas went down,
hope and ambition rose, till some could
almost feel the reins Of government
within their grasp. Men who, for three
long weary years had not dared to hope
for even batch OF county printing, now
could almost see themselves cashing
state vouchers, or even endorsing them.
Others who, in the recent past, would
hardly have risksd to make the race for
road overseer could now, in their imagi-
nation, almost hear the halls Of congress
echo TO their tread. Looking up from a
dish OF planked white tish and "pOtGtOes
duchessso to the banner, "Ad GStrC POI
aspsrG," and it now meant: Everything
10 lovely and the goose hangs high.
"KSnsas" was the first toast responded
10. The substance Of the speech was
that we rise by stepping stones OF our
dead selves to higher thingA The
youthful speaker admitted, like good
penltent little boy, that every licking We
got makes rs better. He said that the
late upheAvel, il properly looked at,
might be regarded as q benefit, that Is, II
it could be made to appear that the
blow or kick was intended for the old
man and not for the boy at all. He
wound up with plea for clean men and
o return to principles-whatever that
might mean.
"The Survival Of the Fittest" was the
next toast. From the drift of the speak
Or's remarks the survival Of the fttest
seemed to mean that the eastern money

republican party, then id its prime, and
full Of promise, q duality which it still
retains unimpsired, reached forth it's
arms into the west and rescued besuM-
full maiden named Kansas, rescued her
from the Missouri bushWhscksrs. ALI
these years have they lived together in
love and harmony, till now, when the old
man is tOttering with age and deere
pitude, and there 10 nothing left from
which to get slimOny, the old gal is suing
for divorce" The closing remarks Of
the speaker were devoted to roasting the
old crowds, outlining platform and ad-
vertising for clean republicans to come
and stand on it.
"WhY q Young Man Should be Re-
publican" was the toast assigned to an
ambitious young STRIPPING from SalinR.
Starting back at the time Of the food
the speaker began his research, and
thrashlng the jungles OF history as he Rd-
vsnced, he left NO nook or CreviCe un-
examined. AT times glimpses Of his tall
form might DO seen towering among the
Roman senators; then again faint echoes
might be heard coming from the dark
ages, as the voice Of one crying out in the
wilderness. Advancing to q more mod
ern period, he accompanied Columbus on
his first voyage Of discovery. Then in
succession he fought through the reVolu-
tion and the late rebellion, till at last,
with flourish and gesture that swept
the hOllsndaise potatoes, broiled quail
on toast and orange jelly from the table
for o yard around him, he summed up
the result of his research in one grand
sentence, the only reason that he had
been able to find, and that was that q
young man should be q republican be-
cause his father was. With platform
such az he would recommend, and clean
republicans TO run for Office, the speaker
closed by insuring success and victory.
"The Young Crowd" was the title Of the
next toast, tackled by one Of the youth
full yearlingB, The young man said that
they were not candidates for Office. All
they asked was the naming Of the csndi-
dates and the making Of the platform.
The task that they had cot for themselves
was the purifying Of the party, and they
proposed TO do that by turning down
every dad In the old crowd who had ever
held an office or even run for one.
Several other toasts were responded
: to, but they were mostly seconds To the
sentiments already expressed. The cry
ing need Of the hour was for clean men;
and If the supply is only equal to the de-
mand, and il che young crowd are only
equal to the task and don't become con-
tamlnated by coming in contact with SO
much corruption, great results may be
looked for.
Occasionally one of the old crowd
would look in on the boys, but he would
always pause at the door, where, after
listening to their prattle FOR g while, ne
would turn and walk away, smiling to
himself as il to say, "the boys are fooling
with g gun, but / know it isn't loaded

Disguised Misers.

"I have a friend ' said an out of town coal operator, ''who is worth near ly $500, 900, and yet is the most penu- rious man ever saw. The other night we were going on to Chicago on busi- ness. We went into the sleeper togeth- CT, and as was quite tired suggested going to bed Where's your berth?' I asked 'Berth?' repeated my friend. Why, I'm not going to take berth. l shall sit up in the day coach. When l told him there was nothing but sleepers on the train, his face fell, and he seemed worried. I knew what the trouble was He was thinking of the few dollars he would have to spend for bed, so said,
 I guess you'll have to hand over to- night. He appeared much distressed and suggested that we double up and both sleep in one berth, for, he said, it will be cheaper for both.' I laughed at the idea and informed him that did not care to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of few dollars Well, he resi- Sned himself to his fate, and no- ticed when berth was assigned him he was without a handbag of any sort. As he was going to stay in Chicago but a day, said; Where's your bag. Sure ly you didn't bring a trunk for one day?' He then sat closer to me, and crossing his legs began in a most car nest manner: That's just where you fel- lows make a mistake. You carry bag with you as a sign that you are good subject to beat. Now, I carry nothing not even so much as package for my nightshirt, for I have that on now un- der my other shirt-and you see that dress shabbily. Why, if I carried bag, hotels, hackmen, porters and everybody would charge me double what they do now. I've got too much common sense to lay myself open to high prices He seemed satisfied with himself after he had given me this oration. As I crawled into my berth wondered for what ob- ject some people with .$500, 900 lived anyhow. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Cyclists and Pedestrians.

We are informed that general meet ing of all the French cycling clubs is to be held shortly for the purpose of draw ing up a code of rules for foot passen- gers, which is afterward to be submitted for approval to the public authorities. We have been permitted to examine the first draft of this remarkable scheme, which is worded as follows:
 Article 1-Every pedestrian is to be supplied with bell and signal horn, which he shall sound on crossing street whenever he espies cycle on the hori- zon.
 Article 2-At night the foot passen- ger shall carry on his breast lantern containing lighted taper.
 Article 3-Any foot passenger who by his awkwardness and want of atten- tion shall occasion the fall of cyclist by stupidly allowing himself to be run over shall be liable to fine of 50 francs to 100 flames. After repetition of the offense, he shall be transported to a mountainous region.
 Article 4-France shall be entirely leveled, in order to save cyclists the an- noyance of hill climbing.
 Article 5-The horse races at Long champs to be abolished, and the site transformed into summer cycling course.
 Article 6-All carriage traffic to be prohibited in the Bois de Boulogne aft CT 6 a. m. and up to II p. m.
 Article 7-The tax on cycles to be abolished, and in its place tax on pe- destrians to be substituted. Figaro.

When Professor Garner planned his expedition to Africa in search of the language of the great apes, he hoped to take with him a curious letter of intro duction to savage negro chieftain.

not, It will be theme of heavenly rem iniscence. We shall talk it all over, the story of the three fires.
 Another reason why the last church went down may have been that some of us were idolizing the building, and the Lord will not allow idolatry. The house was such Midsummer Nights Dream" of beauty. Enchantment lifted in galleries and sprung in arches and glorified in the light that came through windows, touching it with their deftest fingers. The acoustics so rare that thousands of ears were in easy reach of common acoentuation. An organ whicL was a halleluiah set up i'll pipes and banked in keys, waiting for musician s manipulation, that would lead the con- gregatiopal song as an archangel might lead heaven. Glorious organl When it died down into the ashes of that fire, perhaps it's soul went up, where Handel and Haydn began to play on it. The most superb audience room that I ever gazed on or ever expect to sec until enter the temple of the sun. On one memorial wall of that building, stone which had rolled down from Mount Calvary, where our Lord died, and two tables of stone that were sawed off from Mount Sinai and brought on camels across the desert by my arrangement, and a part of Paul's pulpit, which the queen of Greece allowed me, from Mars hill. Architecture so chaste, so grand, so ap- propriate, so suggestive, so stupendousl One of the doxologies of heaven alight- ed. We'll, perhaps we thought too much of it. When we think too much of our children, the Lord takes them, and when we think too much of our church the Lord summarily removes it.
 I suppose another reason for the de- parture of that house was that it had done it's work. Church buildings, like individuals, accomplish what they were built for and then go One person lives 90 years. another 40 years another three
