WHENEVER any bill of Importance
about which there may be any consid-
cradle difference of opinion is present
ed in Congress the first prediction made
is that it will never get through the
Senate. This is because it only takes
the opposition of two or three men In
that body to prevent the passage of a
measure, as general thing. The rules
and traditions of that branch of Con-
gress seem to have been framed to OBJ
struct legislation instead of facilitating
business. 1t would be worth millions
to the country to have in the Senate
one man of energy and courage and
intelligence who would expose the hum
bug and hypocrisy and corruption that
has SO long prevailed in that once re-
spected chamber.

sreckinridge in Trouble Again.

There was a. most exciting scene in
the House of Representatives last Fri
day afternoon, when Representative
Breckenridge. of Kentucky, and Rep
resentative Heard, of Missouri, came
to blows in the centre aisle in the mid
die Of the hall.
This is how it all occurred:
Mr.. Heard, who was in charge of
the District of Columbia bill, cut of
Mr.. Breckenridge, who was attempt
ing to address the House on the Hawai-
ian resolution, by demanding the pre-
.vious question on the adoption of the
resolution.
Mr.. Breckenridge Immediately moved
around from the side aisle in which he
was standing to the tier of seats where
Mr.. Heard was located and hot words
followed. Mr.. Breckenridge protested
against what he called Mr.. Heard s
rudeness. The latter declared he was
only doing his duty. AS the voices
of the gentlemen rose members rushed
thither.
Impairment puppy shouted Mr..
Breckenridge.
Liar! Kissed back Mr.. Heard.
At the word the white haired Breck-
inridge, who is heavily built, stocky
man, put his foot on the step on which
the benches are located and let drive
a right hand blow at Mr. Heard, who
is slight and apparently not strong,
but rather tall man, with brown
beard streaked with gray, who lodged.
In another instant dozen hands
were extended to restrain the Ken
tuckian, and the tide of members swept
him twenty feet up the main aisle.
But he continued to struggle and wres-
tie with his captors, Messrs. Pence and
Cultivate.
The House and galleries were in an
uproar. Bedlam had broken loose
Over it all the cracks OF the Speaker
gavel sounded as he attempted to quell
the riot on the floor.
In firm tones the Speaker directed
the sergeant-at-arms to arrest the Of
tenders. Col. Ike Hill, the deputy,
and his assistant, Mr.. Robinson,
grabbed the silver mace, the emblem
of the Houses authority, and rushed
up the aisle. 1t vas crowded with a
mass of members. When they had ell
bowed their way to the scene of the
combat, Mr.. Breckenridge was still
struggling with those who held him.
His antagonist, Mr. Heard, stood calm
ly in his place.
The two members were brought up
before the Speakers desk, two men
on each side holding their arms and
Representative Dockery, of Missouri,
standing behind them. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge was exceedingly red in the face,
while Mr.. Heard, who is a slender
man, was pale.
In the course of an explanation to
the House, Mr. Breckenridge practic-
ally challenged Mr.. Heard and de-
manded personal satisfaction. Both
Heard and Breckenridge were forced
to apologize to the House.
Breckenridge and Heard made state
ments withdrawing all offensive re-
marks and the whole proceedings have
been ordered stricken from the record.

Reunion and Banquet.

The reunion and banquet of the
Southern Administration of Frank
lin ndMarsball College, held at Mar

the room, the lovely flowers that

o'clock in the morning the gathering
reluctantly broke up, after particu-
larly enjoyable night of entertainment.

self felt under her left knee, and came
so near the surface that everyone
thought it would work its way out, but
it did not. 1t turned and started on
a new trip. Several years passed be-
fore it was felt again. In the mean
time the girl had become Mrs. Durham.
Then it was felt under the left shoulder
blade. Two years later Mrs. Durham
felt it near her right elbow. Four
years afterward it assailed Mrs. Dur
hams right knee and an attempt was
made to cut it out, but it got away.
So it had been going ever since, but
last week it was felt in her left leg,
and doctor succeeded in cutting it
out. 1t was headed for another up

THE cat is out of the bag. Senator
Vest, who has several times Of late
given away under the weight of mighty
Senatorial secrets, admits that many
of the unconscionable delays in the
Senate arise from sense of its grave
duty to "posterity" as well as to its
present constituents. Nothing could
more plainly show how far the Senate
has drifted from its representative
character for while the Senators with
paternal care are considering the In
terest of their remote descendants, the
people with one accord are devoutly
wishing that they might all "be gath
cred to their fathers" and make way
for a new regime.

Last Saturday Lee Smith left Wes-
ton for his home in the country while
pretty drunk. Next morning he was
found lying in the road two miles from
town with his arms and legs frozen.
He died the same evening.
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, accom-
panied by his wife and children and
several other persons, left Baltimore
Monday in private car for Mexico.
The party will visit California, also,
and will be away about six weeks.
The town of Morgantown depends
almost entirely upon natural gas for
fuel and light. Monday, when the
thermometer was almost at zero, the
gas main broke eight miles from town.
There was hardly ton of coal In the
place, and the people had to eat cold
victuals and were obliged to go to bed
to keep warm.
"Have you decided yet whether you
will take place on the bench of the
Supreme Court or become Secretary OF
the Treasury asked the Wheeling
Register correspondent of Congressman
VIM. L. Wilson the other day. mo;
nor have l decided to become Gen
eral of the British Army, or Admiral
of the Swiss Navy" answered Mr..
Wilson, as he passed smilingly into the
House.
James A. Holley, adjutant general
of West Virginia, has made his annual
report regarding the States militia.
The national guard consists of ninety
eight officers and seven hundred and
eighty-nine enlisted men. Six COM
panies have been mustered out, and
seven mustered in, during the year.
Among the recommendations are those
for better militia law, larger ap-
preparation, increased pay for the
men, because nearly all are in limited
circumstances, and extension of camp
duty from six to twelve days.
Governor MacCorkle has received
communication from Hon. Henry &.
Davis, offering to donate $4,000 to-
ward the establishment Of girls in
dustrial school, besides the necessary
grounds, at an accessible point. Let
tiers have also been received from Mr..
Davis by several members of the Leg
islature calling attention to the offer
which he has made. Mr.. Davis stip-
ulates that the institution must be To-
Gated at Davis or Elkins, on his West
Virginia Central Railroad, and that
the State shall make an annual appro-
priation of from $4,000 to $4,000
for its support.
The report of the commissioner OF
labor of West Virginia makes an ex-
cellent showing of the coal and coke
product ofthis State. The report says
West Virginia is now third in the pro-
duction of coal among the States and
second in the production of coke
Pennsylvania and Ohio only lead in
coal and Pennsylvania in coke. Ka-
nawha and and Fayette counties alone
produce one-twenty-seventh of all the
coal mined in the United States, while
in 1898, despite the strike and bust
ness depression, the State produced
within few thousand of 100000
tons of coal. The high-water mark
was reached in 1892, when the pro-
duction was nearly 100000 tons.
The outlook for the present year is
that it will outstrip 1892.

THE BANKS AND OUR FINANCE.

The pending discussion of financial
topics has brought into the clearest
light the fact that there are many we'll
meaning people all over the country
who are honestly opposed to any prop
osition that is acceptable to the banks.
They are sincere in the belief that
what is to the interest of the banks
must be prejudicial to the people at
large. This is san unfortunate miscon-
ception, but it can be removed by the
careful consideration of certain mat
tiers of common knowledge.
The commercial banks derive their
profits almost exclusively from dis
counting commercial papers-that is,
lending money to business men on per-
sonal or collateral security. Business
depression or uncertainty curtails the
power to borrow, hampers the collec-
ton of loans already made, and so cuts
down the banks profits. There can
thus be no profitable discount business
except when general business is pros
porous and financial conditions are
steady.
But in another direction the banks
are still more injuriously affected by
uncertainty and depression in general
business. Ofthe loans made by banks,
more than two-thirds consist, not of
their capital, but of the money of their
depositors. This is their chief source
of revenue; and consequently they
must not only carry larger sums on
deposit, but these deposits must be left
undisturbed by their owners for con-
siderable periods of time for the banks
cannot safely lend them for thirty or
sixty or ninety days if they are likely
to be called for at any moment by the
depositors Therefore conditions of
depression and uncertainty, which pre-
vent the accumulation of a surplus to
be deposited in banks, or compel peo-
pie to draw out deposits already made,
cut down the banks resources and
make profitable business impossible for
them. Not only do they receive no
new deposits, but they must call in
their loans and hold the money idle
in their reserves to meet the probable
demands of their depositors.
Thus it appears that business dis
turbances are a veritable two-edged
sword to the banks which do legiti-
mate banking business. They may
even be said to have a double interest
in the prosperity and financial peace
of the community. Plainly our inter-
ests and theirs are Identical, for what,
after all, is bank but an aggregation
of the savings of A, B and G, which
it lends to D and so makes a profit
out of the interest? If A, B and G
don't make enough money to save
little above necessary expenses, the
bank has nothing to lend. If D gets
into difficulties so that his solvency is
doubtful, it can't lend what it has.
In either case its profits are gone.
Is not this plainly true? 1t is no
less true that the banks have the best
opportunity to know the condition OF
the business world, and the highest
capacity to determine what remedies
are needed. A rational man will re-
ceive their recommendations with re-
spect and confidence instead of dis
trust. The very people who profess
such dread of their policies will yet
calmly entrust them with the control
of their whole fortunes.
