Concerning Bells

Bell making is one of the greatest
industries in this country, yet how sell
dom we hear of it. Foreign countries
recognize that our bells are superior in
tone to any other make, and even the
japanese are sending oriers to this
country for bells. The Japanese have
long been regarded as famous bell
makers, but they do not hesitate to ap-
ply to American manufacturers when
they find it to their advantage to do
so. There is grim humor in the fact
that the fire alarm bells to be used in
Toxic have been ordered of manu-
featuring firm in Jersey City.
The largest bell in America is in the
cathedral of Montreal, and weighs 2s,-
600 pounds. The bell in the public
building at Philadelphia is to weigh
between 10000 and $4,000 pounds.
There is bell at Erfurt, Germany cast
in 1749, and one at Notrc Dame, Paris,
cast in 1esO, each weighing 10000
pounds. The great Chinese bell at
Pekin weighs 10000 pounds, is four
teen feet high, and twelve feet in di.
ameter. BY the way, the Chinese used
to make their bells nearly square in
shape. The largest bell is, of course.
that in the Kremlin at NJ oscow. 1t is
over nineteen feet in height, and meas

turing this noble work Of human art
was about 100000

The Balance of Power in the
Senate

The small majority which the Demo
Gratis have possessed in the Senate dur
ing the present Congress has now been
practically destroyed by the swearing
in of the new Montana Senator and
the election of Republicans to the SEN
ate in two others of the new Western
States. The Republican vote is now
40, the Democratic vote AZ, and the
Populist vote 5. 1t will thus be seen
that the Populists control the balance
of power in the Senate, and, by com
bining with the Republicans, could de-
feat any measures upon which the
Democrats were agreed.
After the 4th of March the condition
of affairs in the Senate will not be ma
.erialIy changed. The Democrats will
then have but 40 votes and the Repuh-
licans will possess 40, while the Popu-
lists will have 6. Again the Populists
will have the balance of power, and
although their influence has been prac-
tically killed in the House of Repre-
sentatives, as result of the last cleo
tion, they will be able to block all
legislation in the Senate which does
not suit them, unless the Republicans
receive aid from the Democrats.
The worst result of this state of
things in the Senate will be that the
upper house will become a greater
clog to the popular legislation than
ever before. With the Populists con-
trolling the balance of power, the Sen
ate will be stumbling block in the
way of legislation, without being a
wholesome restraint to radical action
on the part of che popular branch of
the national legislature.
While the Populists may be able to.
do much mischief, they will not be able
to accomplish any radical Legislation.
The most they can dc is tosecure occa-
sional concessions frem one or the
other of the great parties in return for
their support. In that sense they will
prove an intolerable burden TO the
next Congress.

Important Mississippi Bill
senator McLaurins Measure in Behalf of
the 1. L. IL G. Passes the senate

Senator McLaurin's Measure in Behalf of
the 1. 1. IL G. Passes the senate.
Senator McLaurin called up in the
Senate his bill for the grant of town
ship of land to the Industrial Insti-
tute and College, and the bill passed
without amendment. If this bill
passes the House, as it is likely to do,
it will be an endowment of more than
1000 acres of land for the female
college of Mississippi.
Two bills were also introduced by
Senator McLaurin, one to pay ten
thousand dollars to the Baptist
church at Corinth, Miss. and the other
to pay two thousand five hundred
dollars to the Methodist church at
Brandon. Miss. The church houses of
the congregations named were burned
by the United States troops during the
war and the bills introduced are in
tended to indemnify these churches
for the losses sustained.

England Behind japan
This Is the Opinion Advanced by
Russian

This Is the Opinion Advanced by n
Russian!
Count Mitkiewiez, brother of the
chief of the Russian secret service,
passed through Chicago on his way to
Washington. From his knowledge of
the feeling in China and Japan, he
thinks that peace is not likely to be
declared between the contending ma
tions for some time to come, proba bly,
not before the Japanese forces have
entered Pekin. He believes that Eng
land is behind Japan, and is using
that nation as a catspaw in the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire.
He says this is because England does
not dare openly to appropriate any of
the territory of the Chinese, but if the
empire should fail, England is conf
dent of coming in for large share of
the division that would follow.
The count says there is a great
party of Chinese which IS averse to
war, and desirous of peace at almost
any price, but there is little chance of
this until the Japanese-English de-
signs are carried out and the Chinese
forced to the last extremity.

silver, At a hundred feet the remains
of animals of prehistoric age were
discovered. which have no doubt been
hid away from the light for thous-
ands of years. Mingled with the re-
mains was hair about four inches long.
Another thing that excited wonder
was the rapidity with which the
water rose. In two and half hours
it had risen to a height of sixty-five
feet from the bottom, which, consid-
ering the size of the well, shows an
immense volume of water, which is
strongly impregnated with iron. A
negro fell into. the well while the
digging was going on, aud it is re-
markable that he managed, after fall
ing about sixty feet, to save his life by
catching hold of the rope.
''Since the fires of last summer in
the Michigan forest, there has been
discovered a great stone wall. evident
ly of prehistoric origin. 1t is situated
in Greenleaf township, Sanilac county,
four miles east and one mile south of
Cross City, and it is exciting no little
curiosity in the state. The upper part
of this mysterious structure was laid
bare by the recent fore st fires, and re-
sembles at distance huge white SER
pent lying in swamp through which
it passes. This wall was cut through
in several places. but the bottom was
never reached in any case. How,
when, or by whom this mysterious
piece of architecture was constructed
is poser for antiquarians. There are
no breaks during its entire length, and
the hicks or interstices are filed with
a substance resem bling cement.
Washington society people are tear
ing their hair over the recent display
of the great American hog at the an
nual banquet given by the Chinese
minister. Only 400 covers were laid
and only 400 guests were invited, yet
1900 robust and independent American
citizens, some of them three feet
across the hips, hustled the amazed
footman aside and filed into the en-
bassy and made desperate rush and
a dead set at the viards. The caterer
who had provided for only 400 was
dumb with amazement, and the wait
ers jabbed each other in the ribs as
they skipped to and fro to answer the
boisterious calls of ruddy senators and
the big contingent from the depart
ments. Not scrap, not drop, was
left. 1t was desperate case of mob
violence. 1t was ravage. When a
matter is mentioned to the Chinese
minister all he has to say is Rats.

SENATOR JOE BLACKBURN.

There Was Only One Disease to Which
He Was Not Thoroughly Invulner-
able
Senator Joe Blackburn has been
prosecuting one Of the most energetic
personal campaigns ever waged in our
State, where such campaigns are the
rule" said a well known Kentuckian,
"and the frequency and earnestness
with which he has addressed the voters
in every county reminds me forcibly of
a story which used to be told about him
a good many years ago, when Joe was
wearing a Confederate uniform, that he
was ordered down in the Red river bot
toms. When the news Of where he was
going permeated the populace which
loved the gallant young hero, an anx-
ious individual rushed Off post haste to
Doctor. afterwards, Governor. Black
burn, who is Joe's brother, and begged
him to use influence to have the letters
sending Joe to the Red river bottoms
r6scinded.
What for?" asked the doctor
d" What for?' repeated the man in as
constituent. Why, doc, havgen't you
heard about the way yaller fever's a.
ragin' down there"
" Oh. that's what's the matter, is it?'
returned Dr.. Blackburn, in a tone of re-
lief. We'll, yellow jack won't hurt my
brother joe
The family friend was noopulsed at
this. but he had another argument in
reserve.
Well, maybe yellow fever won't
phase Joe, he admitted, Automatically,
but there's that swamp fever carryin'
us Johnnies off down there along Red
river like flies. Man gets up well in tn
mornin', and is dead fore u o'clock.
1t would be a downright shame to eX-
pose Joe to such a danger as that
DIR. Blackburn still shook his head,
and reEOned he wouldn't interfere with
Joe's orders on any such trivial grounds.
Trivial grounds? shouted the 9TH
err man. You don't call absolutely ia
tai diseases fatal grounds, 90 you?
Fatal diseases, he shifted scornful-
". You ought to know vel enough,
man. that the only disease that would
prove fatal to my brother Joe would be
