She vim Pay Her Debts.

The election yesterday in Klickitat
county, Washington, was held to decide
the question of validating the county in
debtedness. 1t seems the county has
issued warrants in sum greater than
allowed by the constitution, it being
necessary to make the issue in order to
carry on the affairs of the county. Re-
ports from six precincts indicate that
the debt has been validated by large
majority. The vote in these precincts is
245 for validation, 81 for reputation.
Unofficial reports from White Salmon
indicate that there is large majority in
favor of paying the debt. We congrat-
ulate our neighbor on having escaped
the disgrace the repudiation of her debt
would have left forever upon her.

The Original B1ina Tom.

Blind Tom, the old, original Blind
for nearly forty years, and who is the
musical wonder of the century, will give
an exhibition of his wonderful talent at
the Baldwin opera house Monday even
ing next. Blind Tom never had mo-
ment's teaching, being indeed almost an
idiot, and incapable of learing anything,
but ne has the most remarkable
memory for music and anything con-
nected Herewith. His talent was first
discovered by his mistress hearing some
one playing on the piano and discover
ing that it was the little blind picka-
ninny, then years of age. We append
the following from the Cleveland Plain
dealer:
'sThe Star theater was filed last even
ing, where the famous negro wonder,
Blind Tom, accomplished many surpris-
ing things in the way of piano playing.
While Tom did many things that were
remarkable, the most wonderful was his
playing of an air he could not have
heard before. He invited any man in
the audience TO step on the stage and
play any selection he chose and he
would repeat it right after him. Mr..
Wilson G. Smith, the composer, ac-
cepted the invitation and played
one of his own compositions as yet. un-
published, and of SO recent a date that it
has had no public performances any
where. The blind negro sat down on
the stool as soon as Mr.. Smith had left
it, and repeated it, every note being
true and correct. He also played Colts
chalk's Last Hope, Rossini's Moses in
Egypt, and several other numbers. A
peculiar part of his program was his
playing two airs at the same time and
singing different song. He also re-
peated speech he heard in 1860 de;
livered by Stephen A. Douglas, after
which he played a composition of his
own.-Cleveland Plain Dealer, March
II, 1889.

Death Scene of 53I Congress
Placid and Uninteresting.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-The last day
of the second session of the ffty-third
congress was attended by just Il score of
senators and large concOurse Of people
who packed the galleries to their fullest
capacity. Most Of these who were in the
galleries were ladies. There were also
many visiting Knights of Pythias.
The diplomatic gallery was the only
one which WIS not occupied. Even the
aisle5 Of the galleries AMI the dOorways
sWarmed with visitors.
On the floor there was an air of relief
at the approaching close of the session,
visible on the faces and IN the demeanOr
Of those who have been at their posts so
long. Chaplain Mccarthy in a long
prayer included not only the customary
officers of the government, the president
and wee president and senators, but even
the senate pages and the venerable Isaac
Bassett in his appeal for grace.
All political differences and party
chickering's We're laid aside for the time
being and those who were hurting bitter
anathemas at each other, were today
laughing and joking with each other in
the friendllest possible manner.
A message was received from the
house after the reading Of yesterdays
journal and then Mr.. Ransom, {Dem. N.
C) offered the customary resolu-
ton to notify the president that
the two houses were now ready to
adjourn. I he resolution was agreed to,
and the vice president appointed Mr.
Ransom, (Dem. n. % and Mr. Mander-
son, (Rep. Neb.) committee on the part
of the senate. No other business Of i'm
portance WAS transacted, and a recess
was taken until 12:45 O'Clock. At that
hour the vice president announced that
the senate was again IN session.
A message WAS received from the
house announcing the death OF George
B. Shaw Of Wisconsin. In the absence
of the two Wisconsin senators. Mr.. White
offered the customary resolutions of re-
gret, and the vice president appointed
Senators Mitchell Of Wisconsin, Culom,
Davis, Coke and Kyle to attend the fun
eral.
at 1885 a further recess was taken
until l 30 p. N.
At $50 p H. the senate was again
called to order, and the committee ap-
pointed to called upon the president an
nounced that he had no further commu-
cations to make to congress.
Resolutions of thanks were rendered
Vice President Stevenson and Senator
Harris, president pro tenn, and at
o'clock the vice president declared the
senate adjourned sine die.
Old campagne declared the death
scenes of the second session of the FIT
ty-third congress the most placid and
uninteresting they had ever witnessed.

The state Board Removed a Trusted Em-
pIoye, Which Made the Trouble.
The defenders Of the Populist admin
istration are now trying to make il ap-
pear that the administration is not re-
sponsible for the birth Of a child 20 Han
nah kenzie, the insane woman Al the asy-
lum.
The task is too great, however, and
they have already fallen down In their
effort to uphold the present state board
Of charities and the administration.
These defenders say these insane peo-
pie were allowed to get together under
the administration of Dr. Eastman who
was afterwards succeeded BY Dr. Nc
Casey.
DIR. Eastman was superintendent Of the
asylum when these insane creatures met
each other, but the reform" board Of
charities had virtually taken the manage
ment of the institution out OF his hands
and had already appointed Miss Matte
Jackman Of kinRman AZ housekeepeE
1t appears to be directly due 20 Miss
Jackman's lack OF knowledge or care
lessness that the unfortunate affair oc-
Cured. Several years ago DR. Eastman
had some trouble In keeping the men
and women who worked in the kitchen
out Of mischief and he appointed Miss
Laura Wooden, an elderly woman Of
sharp eyes and great executive ability,
as housekeeper to straighten out matters
in the kitchen. Miss Wooden did her
work well aud as one or the employees
expressed il, There was no monkoying
under her administration"
One of the first acts of the srefOrm"
state board Of charities WAS to depose
Miss Wooden from her position as
housekeeper and appoint to that posi-
ton Miss Matte Jackman of kinRman,
a friend of w. L. Brown. secretary Of the
state senate, who secured her appoint
ment. She took charge Of the kitchen
June l. 1898.
Miss Jackman doubtless meant all
right, but she did not understand how TO
manage an institution of the kind, and
the employees in the kitchen did about as
they pleased. One Of the employees in
the kitchen was Hannah Kenzie, the
unfortunate woman who. is now the
mother of ths child born last week.
Miss Jackman undoubtedly did not
know the woman was getting into trouble.
but Hannah and William Scanlon a pa
tient who works in the engineers depart
ment and who is perfectly sane most Of
the time became intimate with the re-
suit already known.
Miss Jackman resigned her position as
housekeeper this spring and was mar
ried to DIR. Cloud one of the physicians
in the institution.

HOUSE OF REPREsEN TATIvEs. u. S.
WAsHINGToE, D. c., Aug II, 1894
J. F. Tufts. Esq, Atchison. Kan:
MY DEAR SIR have just read the
resolutions reported by you aud others
and adopted at your county convention.
/ heartily appreciate tho reference TO and
endorsement of my official course and
desire to say a word of the resolutions
generally. Your convention has put it
self squarely on the record on the money
question and l am truly glad Of it. One
Of the strong objections which has been
urged by the gold standard people IL
that the silver dollar is too large and
cum mbersOme TO be used except IN the
smaller transactions, and this ia true SO
far as the coin itself is concerned To
enlarge the silver dollar materially will
destroy its use as money and every one
knows it l came to the conclusion some
time ago, and have maintained
that we must use the silver
dollar substantially as il is or
not at all. The ratio between gold and
silver is everywhere regulated BY arbi-
trarv statutory law and it Is folly to talk
Of changing the ratio and re-cOining
every time the prices Of raw material
tiuctuate. 1t is the finished product
which we say is worth ii hundred cents
aud not the rough material. However,
your convention proposes to treat il
along with gold, not as commodity, but
as money of final payment, or'whicn re-
quires no redeemer. This I understand
is true bI-metalIIsm. With kind regards.
| am, Very truly yours,
CASE BRODERICK.
