drunken man leave the capitol.
Senator Sherman supported the
bill, Senators Blackburn of Ken.
lucky, Mills of Texas and Hill Of
New York opposed the bill. SEN
ator Hill after attempting to prove
that the bill was irregularly before
the senate proceeded to discuss the
"actiye pestiferous agitators, ( the
''mischieveous busybodies' who
were trying to regulate national
honor. Senator Chandler here re-
marked that the bill was crude and
ought to be revised. Under it, he
said, it would be impossible for
my doctor colleague, Senator Gal
linger, to prescribe anything for a
sick senator that had liquor IL it,
and should he desire in his profess
sional capacity to administer a
gentle restorative drop it would be
necessary to dispatch messenger
to the nearest drug store. Senator
Hill declared it ridiculous, absurd
and preposterous legislation" st
is indecent to enact this sort of
legislation he said. Mr.. Hill
talked out the time the bill was be-
fore the senate and there was no
vote. And the drinks are still on
tap
The fact that the gold bug ma-
ionaires of New York and Chica-
go are to present General Miles,
who was in charge of the federal
troops in Chicago during the re-
cent labor trouble there, with a
$4,000 house in Washington, D.
e. for his activity in preserving
property from the mob in that
city, has reused Senator Allen. He
has introduced into the senate a
resolution directing the committee
on military affairs to report if it is
lawful for all officer of the regular
army to receive from private citi-
zens valuable presents in compen-
sation for services performed by
him in the line of his duty. If the
committee find that it is lawful
they are directed to report bill
making it unlawful
Secretary Morton of the agricult-
ural department has just issued a
little book which is of great interest.
1t shows every individual to whom
the 100000 pounds of seed have
been sent during the year. This
enormous amount of seed Mr.. Nor
ton says would require seventyfive
mail cars to carry it, and it has cost
the post Office 100000, to transport
it to the thousands of citizens to
whom it has been sent. Omitting
the flower seeds from the estimate
the secretary says that the vegetable
andfeld seeds were sufficient to plant
227 ,346 acres. The average number
of packages sent out during the four
years ending 1894 was 1901, 715 at
cost of two cents a package. Under
the new ADMINISTRATION of the seed
business, there were sent out in the |
present year 20,066,OOO at an average
cost of a little over a half cent a
packet. It is interesting to note the
method of distribution adopted by
the senators, Senator George of Miss.
sent his to Democratic executive com
mittees in so towns in his state.
Senator Mitchell, wis., sent his to
postmasters. Representative Hill
born sent his packets to editors of |
newspapers in his district. Senator
Hill sent his to all the oranges Of the
Patrons of Husbandry in his state.

w aSnlnSIOn, Fep. 1OGll' ne
position of the Republicans in the
next Senate is an interesting ques-
ton. Ninety senators will take
their seats at the beginning of'the
next Congress, and of these eighty
four are known. The large por-
ton of the senators already chosen
makes it comparatively easy to de-
termiGe the attitude of the next
senate on important public ques-
tions, and the Republican senator's
say positively now that they can
pass their tariff bill. There have
already been elected to the next
senate, including the hold-overs,
forty three Republicans who will
vote for tariff bill, and as Senat-
or Mitchell will in all probability
be again returned from Oregon,
this can be safely raised to forty
four. This number lacks two of a
majority, but there are at least
dozen senator's from whom the
necessary votes to make up the de-
sired number will be forthcoming.
The boiling silver Republican SEN
ators are all known to lean toward
protection and they can be depend
ed on for the necessary votes.
These silver Republican senator's
are anxious too to give the Republi-
can tariff bill full leeway, and to
permit the protection tariff system
to be again put in full operation.
They feel that the trouble with
the country is the financial system
and that the tariff is not the rem
edy. Senator Jones of Arkansaw
says that the bill will be debated
in the regular way and no obstruc-
ton will be put in its path. Sen
ator Hill says of the bill, ''some
kind of tariff bill will be passed. 2
He further said that it would have
a full and fair debate. and that
meant great deal of debate in the
senate, and although he will not
be in the senate after March 3rd,
ne expects the session to run well
into August. Senator Aldrich will
lead the Republicans and Senator
Jones the Democrats. These were
the leaders in the tariff fight over
the Wilson bill.
The ways and means committee
have been III session daily for the
past two weeks and have their
tariff bill nearly completed. Nc
Kinley duties have been put on
agricultural products. The rates
on cattle are sufficient, so the COM
mlttee say, to shut out Mexican
cattle.
When the bill to prohibit the
sale of liquor in the capitol was
under discussion in the senate it
looked very much as if In the fu-
ture statesmen would have to wash
down their lunches with cold wa
ter. And SO they would if Senator
Hill had not been the champion Of
the whisky cause and prevented a
vote on the measure. Senator
Morrill,, the venerable gentleman
from Vermont caused all the COM
motion. It was the bill which passed
the house sometime ago, but which
would not have passed if it had
not been understood that it would
be held up in the senate, making
TIA misdemeanor to sell liquor in
the capitol building Senator
Morrill, remarked in calling the
bill up that he had just received

since they went into office, and neither

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board ol
Trade


CHICAGO, March 10.-It has been some
time since the wheat market has been so
dull as It was during the morning hours
today. Traders appeared to be unwilling
to do business in view of the present un-
certainty of political affairs in Europe, and
even the bears, with almost everything to
encourage them. took hold very gingerly
English consols were unchanged and Liv-
erpool quoted wheat from u 10 lsd Iower at
the opening. Those were the features Oh
the early news which caused wheat to be
offered for sale at the opening at from 10
to 747a for May as compared with 7oA at the
close Yesterday For the next hour the
market showed some strength, the only
time during the day. 1t was reported carry

great disappointment when IT. was an

bushels decrease east OF the ROCKY noun

a depressing factor and very good reports
as to the crop conditions in Kansas were
received. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
800 cars compared with 2Ss a week ago ana
sci the corresponding day Of tPe year pe=
fore Chicago received 16 car9 against %

were only $1,000 bushels as compared with

again and sank to 74h@I4h. The market
ciosed at 74%d7f1k Corn was Arm as long
az wheat was going up, and the light stead-
led the market for a time after that: It
became very heavy in the last hour. Oats
opened steady enough but sold on later and
dillon for futures, although the sample
market was firm, due to smaller calls.
Provisions closed firm, packers became free
sellers and as the weakness Of the grain
pits encouraged shorts to sell also, grad

Troubles OF an Editor

The country editor has his fill of
troubles, but one at Brighton, Iowa,
possesses more than his shane. After
printing innumerable free notices cf
church servicegs festivals and suppers he
was importuned to subscribe for tht
church fund. He put his name down for
$40, but collections being slow and for
the most part In cabbage, cordwood and
rutabagas, he was unable to pay what
he promised. The church, however, was
not disposed to wait, and a judgment
was obtained against him for the
amount pledged. A levy was made and
the Washington hand press and type
were being carried out when his friends
came to his rescue and drove the officers
away. There was a ructicn in which
several church people were hurt, and,
as the editor would say, "the end is not
yet" 1t Is certainly novelty for q
church to resort to the law to enforce the
payment of a voluntary subscription

The processes of thought cannot be
hurried. Some minds move with greater
rapidity than others, but all require
conclusions on difiicult subjects. The
facts demanding consideration must be
gathered, examined and classified; and
even when this is done. the work is only
half finished. A period Of reflection or

is consciously put forth to develop the
