THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, TUESDAY MORNING.

Gus and clever young Congressman in
the House are very much lacking in
social amenities. In fact, there are
quite number of stars among them
who cannot 60 TO a dinner of courses
without making grave mistakes, either
with knife, or fork, or plate, or napkin,
or finger bowl, or something. IN
fashionable circles here, some Of the
brilliant society women have taken
these young men in hand and have
tried to work them into shape, but
with litlcle result. But no doubt, at the
end of a three-hour dinner they come
off quite as wen as Abraham Lincoln
would have done at a similar stage of
HIS career. All which is an encour-
aging sign that the present members
of the House, if they are not as high
up as members in other Houses have
been, are yet probably closer to the
people, and more representative of
them. For that matter, when Speaker
Reed first came to Congress, it is said
he used to shovel high-priced English
peas into his mouth as If they were
low-priced corn-feld peas. Ills in
creased polish in this respect is an
other evidence of his decadence.
Senator Butler, North Carolina. to-
day introduced a resolution in the SEN

ry into effect resolution of the Cont
mental Congress in the erection of the
monuments to the memories of Gen.

NATURAL FAT.
Getting Fat is Only a Question
OF Eating Proper Food.


Thin people who want to get fat
should eat proper food and digest II.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin peopIn
is that they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They
are slowly being starved. They are
poisoned by the products of fermented
and putrid food

nothing else goes so naturally about
it.

WHY MICHIGAN WENT ron GOLD.

There was great surprise when the
Michigan Democratic convention de-
clared for gold. 1t was well known
that in the primary elections when
the delegates were chosen, the silver
men won by a big majority. They
lost because, after winning, in the
interest of harmony, they sent min
ority of gold men, instructed for sill
yer. to the convention. They bolted
instructions, and the will of the peo-
pie was overturned. Yesterdays Wash
ington Post says;
ut is very likely that this week the
Senate will have the result Of the late
Democratic convention in Michigan
brought before it in more or less
sensational form. The convention de-
clared for the single standard, despite
the fact that majority of upward OF
$50 delegates elected to that gathering
were chosen as free silver men. The
result was a complete surprise in ey-
cry part of the country, but especial
Nv to the silver advocates. The expla-
nation was found in the fact that the
Democratic office holders in Michigan
took the most active part in controll-
ing the action of the convention in
favor OF a sound money platform and
defeating the wishes of the rank and
file of the party. 1t is said that a
circular was issued, addressed to all
the Federal Office holders in the State,
urging them to use every means in
- he
TO sound money declaration, and this
circular was signed by Mr.. Steven
son, who is Don Dickinson's law part
ner.
Copies of this circular have fallen
into the hands Of the silver men, and
it is understood that one of the silver
Senators has been furnished with
specimen of the document, and will
bring the matter to the attention OF
the Senate in the shape of resolu-
ton providing for an investigation.
The question to be determined IS
the administration had any ken Of the
compromising circular, and to what
extent the civil service pronunela-
ento of President Cleveland, prohibit
ing Federal officials from taking par
fisan interest in elections, has been
done violence to. just what action the
Senate con take in the matter, since
the circular is signed by one who IS
not an employee of the government,
and has no connection with the civil
service, is a little problematic; but II
will afford ample opportunity for the
delivery of series of speeches bur-
dening the administration with the
f,,lI ,eSnonsibility of the deed.

/ was told yesterday that Speaker
Reed had at last decided TO give the
House liberty to go ahead at its own
sweet will: THAT he would not restrain
them in any direction in which they
might wish to go. Reed has done all
that he set out to do. He probably
has never possessed any qualifications
for President. First, he became ia
NOUS for his wit; then he became fa-
nous for a new way of counting n
quorum; and then he sought to be-
come famous by putting aside the
general legislation OF the people, rush
ing through the appropriation bills,
and saying to the country, what a
brave boy / ami" But these things
are but mere tricks and incidents in
the life and career of what ought TO be
called a great man. Outside of them,
it is hard to put ones finger on any
great, sustained thing that Reed has
ever done. The American people are
practical and quick-sighted and there
fore were not slow to see this, and
consequently one of the most notice
able things about Reed nowadays is
his seeming consciousness of his own
insufficiency. The man seems to have
lost his nerve. He shakes hands with
ANYBODY that even turns his head to-
wards him in a friendly way, and his
face goes into perfect liquidation of
Smiles. This is not the Reed of old.
Had he kept a stiff upper lip, kept
looking grim and great, possibly the
people might have been fooled a
while longer. As III is, the members
make quite free with him.

Its Hands Are Clean.

The power Of the press in England is
mainly based onconvictions of it's homes
ty of purpose, and the clesnness OF the
hands of those who conduct and con
tribute to it. This inborn, carefully
nurtursd principle is indicated in such
a detail as the scorn and indignation ex-
cited in the journalistic circles at the
mere suspicion that an economically
transmitted cable message has been un-
duly elaborated in the sub-edItorisl
room before it appears in print. The
Times having, as its conductors thought,
reason to believe that q news agency
had so dealt with a message offered for
publication in it's columns, Indignantly
denounced the misplaced industry. The
news sgency, justly appreciating the
fact that such an accusation, unrefuted,
struck at Its life as prosperous busi-
ness undertaking, forthwith brought a
civil action with design to vindlcate its
integrity. Some OF the best known
Partisan papers re-write them, and pre-.
sent them to their readers as evidence
of enterprise, regardless OF cost. An
English newspaper convicted OF such
trick might a. once close the shutters Of
it's ublishing office.-From "the Power
of the British Press" by Henry W.
Lucy, in North American Review, for

Those Useful Conduits.

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertain-
able causes. When this occurs, their
discharging function is OF necessity very
imperfectly performed, and certain de-
bris, which is the result Of natural bodi-
ly waste and decay, does not escape as
it should, but remains TO corrupt the
blood and develop poisonous humors
and dangerous as we'll as painful dIseas-
es. 1t is one of the beptclent effects OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to gently
stimulate the urinary organs, and pre-
vent them from lspsing into state OF
inactivity, always provocative OF their
infsn mstory degeneration and decay.
How much better, then, it is to adopt
this mild diuretic as means OF iDcitlng
them to action, than to incur the danger
OF this destruction. To expel from the
system waste matter through the bowels
and kidneye, and TO regulate and arouse
the stomach aud liver, are among the
chief uses OF this valuable remedy.

The Future of Canaigre.

AS to whether csnaigre is to become
an important crop of the brid south west
Professor Forbes of the Arizona Agri-
cultural Experiment station seems to
have little doubt. In Bulletin No. Il of
that station, just issued, he says:
Certain pecularities of canaigre
seem favorable to its agricultural
future:
/. 1t grows in winter, when water is
more abundant throughout the arid
region. This fact may render possible
the reclamation of large tracts of land
for which there is not sufficient irrlga-
ton IN summer.
.. The climate is mild IN this season
of the year and labor is therefore more
comfortable and effective.
3. In case of extreme drouth the
crop is not lost bit the plant simply
stops growth and waits for better con-
ditions.
4. Harvesting may occur at any time
tho mature crop remaining in the
ground indefinitely without injury, and
even with certain amount OF improve
ment.
As to the value OF the product, il
appears that under existing conditions

WILLIAM Mckinley comes of fighting
stock, and it was no accident that he
made brave soldier and skilled officer,
even though coming out OF the war at
only 81 years OF ege. His great-grspd-
father, David Mckinley, served for two
years in the war of the revolution. His
great-grandfsther on his paternal grand
mothers side, Andrew Rose, also er-
listed in the revolution, but, beipg a
founder by trade, he Was soon sent
back to make cannon and shot for the
use of the patriot army. A grandfather,
James Mckinley, fought in the war OF
1872. 1t is hardly to be wondered at
that the stripping of seventeen, with the
blood of the fighting convenaaters OF
Scotland flowing in his veins from one
side of the house, and the blood
of the freedom loving, self-sacri-
hcing Puritians on the other, ehould
have been unable to resist the call OF
duty when Lincoln called for volunteers
to vindicate the Nations honor.

On Saturday last before Notary Pub
lic Eb Williams were signed the Arti-
cles of Incorporation Of the Cslsbasss
Irrigation Lend and Wster Company.
The incorporstors are NJ. r. Wise, A.
o. Brummel, D. F. Msnlovs and Ro-
bert EKey, and the capital stock Of the
company is 100000, divided into three
million shares of the par value OF one
dollar suoh. The principal place Of
business is declared to be Calsbasss,
Pima County, Arizos. The objects OF
the company are to acquire real estate
by purchase or other lawful means, to
sink artesisn wells, aud to construct
reservoirs, mains, bitches, canals, etc,
for storing water. In other words the
company proposes to reclaim and irri-
gate the great Santa Cruz valley. The
officers elected are Morgan r. Wise,
president, D. r. Manlove, vice-presi-
dent; A. o. Brummel, secretary and
treasurer, and Robert EKey, general

citizen of Pima County. There 10 no
more fertile land anywhere in Arizona
than the acres of the Santa Cruz valley
and the controlling and reolaimiug Of
this vaet extent, means millions OF dol

the feet Of the shock, which did not
kill him, was very like that Of the CON =

them open. Something like this reems
