VIII Prevent Any but Tariff Legislation
at the Extra Session.
CHICAGO, Feb. lO.-The News WASH
ington special says: Speaker Reed, it
is said, will forestall legislation other
than tariff at the extra session by ap-
pointing only two committees-those
on ways and means and on mileage
and reserving the appointment a other
committees till the regular session.
While the action is unprecedented,
members say it would be legal, as con-
gress has frequently gone on for weeks
before the speaker announced the COM
mittees. Speaker Reed considers that
the extra session should deal with only
two subjects-the tariff bill and mile
age of members. Other measures
would therefore fall fiat as soon as in
troduced for want of proper reference.
Many members say the course is too
arbitrary, even for Gar Reed to enter
upon. and smacks of One-man-power,
but the speaker intimated not long ago
to member of the house the probable
ity he would take such course.

Legislature Wants to Know why Liquor
Laws Are Violated.
BISMARCK, Feb. 10-In the house
during the day.the committee on tenn
peranc reported a resolution naming a
special committee of five members to
investigate the alleged violation of the
state law relative to liquor selling and
gambling in the city of Bismarck, and
to ascertain whether the officers whose
duty it is to prevent such violations are
interested in the breaking of laws
The resolution invests the committee
with power to compel the attendance
of witnesses and requires them to make
investigation and report within a rea-
sonable time. There was hot fight
on the passage of the resolution, many
of the members claiming that violations
of the prohibition law were notorious
all over the state and that it was un-
fair to single out one city for investiga-
ton. The resolution finally carried by
q vote of 40 to 20.

Senate Committee Issues an Ultimatum
to Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The senate
committee on naval affairs reached a
conclusion ON the report to be made as
result of its inquiry on the subject Of
armor plate. The committee will rec.
ommend that the secretary Of the navy
shall not be authorized to pay more
than $500 per ton for armor, and that
an appropriation of 81, SOC, 900 be made
to be used in establishment of plant
in case the manufacturers refuse to ac-
cept this price.
The price Of $500 is fixed as the max
imum that can be paid, and the opinion
is expressed by the committee that the
price properly could be made lower.
Still. out of Difference to the secretary.
and in order not to do injustice, $500 is
accepted the proper figure. The appro-
priation for the establishment of gov.
eminent plant is made purely condi-
tiOnal upon the non-acceptance by
existing manufacturers of the price
fixed, and the opinion is expressed that
an appropriation of 81 ,5O0.0OO win be
sufficient for the purpose.
The report prepared by Senator
Chandler was amended in some partic-
ulars, and as amended viii be present.

"I happened to be down in my cellar

Future of the x Ray In Surgical Work.

Future OF the x Ray In Surgical Work.
The future development of the x ray
phenomena will undoubtedly be in the
direction Of surgical diagnosis. It is as
great boon to mankind as the inven-
tion of the ophthalmoscope, and just as
the latter instrument has proved its
worth from the first day to this and has
saved thousands of people from total
BLINDNESS, SO will the K ray be benefi-
cial to the human race and save life
and limb of thousands Of sufferers. It
will, Of course, need to be greatly i'm
proved. The one essential quality which
SO far prevents applying it to the
densest part of the body with perfect
success is its propensity for travelling in
straight lines, piercing or rather being
entirely absorbed by intervening bodies.
Light rays do not necessarily go through
all substances, as is well known, and
they are not all absorbed, except when
falling on certain substances, which are
called from their appearance dead
black. 1t being practically impossible
to reflect K rays to any great extent, we
might still resort to diffusing them
that is, to allowing them to be thrown
back from any surface in more or less
regular way. Such a feat would enable
US to inspect special sections Of the
body, which we are not now able to in
spect, with considerable accuracy.-New
York Sun.

The Human Brain.

According to the novel computa-
tion of a renowned histologist, who
has been calculating the aggregate
cell forces of the human brain, the
cerebral mass is composed of at least
3oo'ooo, 900 of nerve cells, each an
independent organism-a micro
scopic brain, so far as concerns its
vital functions, but subordinate to
a higher purpose i'll relation to the
function of the organ; each living a
separate life Individually, though
socially subject to higher law of
function. The lifetime of a nerve
cell, he estimates to be about sixty
days, SO that 100000 die every
day, about 100000 every hour, and
nearly $500 every minute, to be
succeeded by an equal number ftlieir
progeny; thus once in every sixty
days man has new brain.

enormities. Recognizing, however,
that the Republican party is commit
ted to these increases, the Democrats
will be content with only fair. dis
cussion upon these propositions.
"The Democrats are unanimously
opposed to the increased tax on
beer, tobacco, cigars and the other
items embraced in the internal re-
venue schedules. Neither party is
committed to such increases, and
there is no governmental necessity
for such increased burdens upon
those articles"
Our silver Republican friends
hold convention at Chicago next
week. They yet owe allegiance to
no party, and care for no party
name. They supported the Re-
publican party while it believed that
party would best serve the interests
of OUR country; they supported Gar
field for president in 1880, and Har-
rison for president in 1888, believe
ing that those gentlemen would
place the rights of man before the
rights of property, that both were
bimetallists. The first showed weak
ness at critical time, the inception
of his administration. He made
mistakes that he later tried to ratify.
The second was false to his profess
sions. In 1899 there was no choice
between the parties. Both can
didaes were acceptable to the money
ed cliques; both distastful to those
believing in the supremity of human
rights. In 1896 the silver Republi-
cans gave our support to Mr.. Bryan,
not because they were satisfied with
the democratic party, but because
they saw in the rejuvenated demo-
cratic party the promise of brighter
future, ray of promise that it
would become in whole, as it had in
part, the champion of politics dicta-
ted by regard for the rights ofman.
Partisan have never been and
trust never shall be, unless it be
partisan, to espouse the rights Of
man, and to consistently oppose
those WHO trample on human right $.
l seek the party of human rights
and liberty, as opposed to property
rights and industrial slavery; and
care not by what name it goes.
My prayer is that the defenders of
human rights may unite and make
success possible. The peoples
party meets the measurement of
that party, although its demands
are at times ill-judged. But the
populist party is untitled to under
take the defence successfully.
Populists may not see the reason of
this, they may not see any obstacle
to the unison ofthe peoples forces,
of defenders of human rights under
the populists name.
