eminent: it is the overthrow of all our
maxims of public liberty, of guarding
and checking administration.
| II want to know something about
! that | think the senator from Kan
sas has done right in Offering this resO-
luton, and has done a public service;
and / do not mean to be diverted from
| doing my duty as senator and insist
ing On having the facts known on these
three propositions, in order that We
may correct the legislation By any talk
about my confederating or assOciating
with Populists."
Mr.. HiIl-"What fact does the sena-
tor expect TO know which is not known
! now and is not in the public records
the reports of the secretary of the treas
ury? You cannot know a single other
fact
Mr.. Hoar-I expect TO have the rea-
sons of the president and the secretary
ascertained. I expect to have the ac-
count of what was devoted TO the cur
rent expenses of the government put in
an orderly, clear, and plain statement,
so that the people and the senate can
understand it; expect to have the cir
cumstances set forth; l expect TO have
from a committee the proper modifca-
ton or change of the law which is de-
sirable TO prevent its recurrence in the
future recommended TO the senate.
These matters as they stand now are
the subject of debate, Of quarrel, of
controversy. Somebody gets up and
alludes TO them ON the floor of the SEN
ate, and somebody else gets up and
says that the senator from New Hamp-
shire did something in regard TO a
presidential nomination in his own
state, and thinks that is a proper and
senatorial argument TO deal with such
subject. / think if we get a COM
mittee, either the finance committee or
special committee of this body, we
shall get 4 statesmanlike, orderly,
clean-cut, straightforward, and master
'ly statement on this subject, which will
dispose of ii, and will so dispose of ii,
in my opinion, that no Democrat and no
Republican will rest easy until he has.
done something to prevent the occur
renee Of this thing again.
''AIr, President that is the ground
on which L expect to have my vote
counted or paired in favor Of this resO-
luton 1t is not for the sake of getting
any political capital against President
Cleveland or my honOred friend, Mr..
Carlisle, or the Democratic party that
1 shall vote for it. know the diff
ficuItieS and the trials of the past two
years; know what a calamity it would
have been to the whole country, ire
parable for long time, not to be re-
covered from if it had happened that
our silver currency or our paper cur
rency had got separated in value from
the gold currency. l think we all be-
lieve that that would have been
calamity; at any rate do. / want to
have this great mistake, this great de-
feet, this great danger and insecurity
in our existing legislation guarded
against. Though l do not often follow
the senator from Kansas, 1 am happy
to be counted as his follower in regard
TO the matter which is in question.
''That is all have ID say. If have
not made myself clear, shall be happy
to explain TO the senator from New
York"

DOCTORS SHOULD NOTE IT.

Three convictS in the penitentiary at
Allegheny, Pa, who were failing fast
under the destructive influence of con-
sumption, are said to be rapidly i'm
proving and TO be in appearance well
men. The conVicts have been used
for experiments with the new remedy
which DR.. Cyrus Edison of New York,
gave to the world under the name Of
aseptolin. Their rapid gains have as
tOnished the penitentiary authorities,
and the attending physicians expect to
discharge them all as cured in a short
time
This certainly seems to make a con-
trast between the best that can be done
in treating tuberculosis, under the old
system, and the results which may be
obtained, in spite of unfavorable sur
roundings, by the use Of the latest dis
coveries. If continued experiments
with aseptolin shall be attended with
similar success, il will be forced into
the practice of all physicians who try
to keep up with the march of medical
science, and millions of lives may be
saved. For the present, however, it is
not well TO be very sure of the Ultimate
results OF the tests so far made. The
time has been too short If the pa
tents who seem to be cured are well
FIVE years hence, then the medical pro-
fession will know what ground it has
to stand upon.
AS yet all that safely can be said is
that the outlook is more hopeful for
consumptiyeS than it ever was before.

LITTLE DAMAGE TO CROPS.
Berries Were Cut by the Hail, But
the Rain was Wanted.

the Rain was Wanted.
The heavy rain and hail storm of Fri
day night did not do as much damage as
might have been expected to the truck
farmers in the vicinity Of the city. The
heavy rainfall along the Thunderbolt road
beat up the dirt considerably and mixed
1t up with the vegetables, but it's effects
were beneficial rather than harmful, as
the long continued drought was causing
the crops TO wither and burn up, and If
it had lasted another week longer the
crops would have been totally destroyed.
The truck farm of Mr.. ]. b. Wells, on
the White Bluff road, suffered consider
ably from the effects of the hail storm,
much OF the strawberry crop and large
amount of young vegetables being de-
stroyed The Bliss also suffered consid-
erably.
The truck farmers in this vicinity have
been taught a lesson by the recent drought
and are now seriously considering the
best method of irriga ting.
The trouble seems to be that if many
artesian wells were sunk in one neighbor-
hood they would not give a large enough
supply Of water for the required purpose.
one farmer, however, could sink a well
800 to 500 feet deep and by proper grad
ing, supply the farmers in a ten-mile ra-
dius, and this method will probably
be adopted in the near future.
The cabbage crop suffered the most
from the drought, many of the heads with

The farmers have to exercise great care
in packing their crop for shipment. Re-
