Washington, ID. c., July l5.-When
Mrs. w. j. Brier, wife of Prof. Brier
of the River Falls, Wis, Normal
school, with her husband and infant
child. was being shown through the
capitol the child began to cry. Sergt.-
alarms Bright of the senate, it is
said, took her by the arm and pushed
her toward the door, saying it was no
place for crying babies. Mr.. Brier
had gone on ahead and did not know
of the occurrence until later he found
his wife In tears. Meantime Bright
discharged the guide. The outrage
Gus treatment Of Mrs. Brier aroused
much indignation when it became
known to Wisconsin members to-day.
They reported the matter TO Mr..
Spooner. who became equally indign-
ant and at once called on Bright for
an explanation. Bright claimed he
did not push Mrs. Brier, although
witnesses say he did, but he admitted
that he discharged the guide because
the latter reported the incident, and
ne refused to reinstate him. Mr..
Spooner will not allow the matter TO
drop here, and it may result in the
discharge of Bright, whose conduct on
other occasions has been Objectionable
to other senators. MilDautss Sentinel.

The Oificious insolence of Scrgent-at-
arms Bright is the more offensive
because it occurred where good breed
ing and goodwill are usually most
conspicuous. As body, the public
officials at Washington are distinguish
ed for gentlemanly conduct; and the
pink of courtesy is ordinarily extended
to visitors. That an officer should
address a lady roughly, then, let
alone laying hands upon her, is as
surprising as it is odious. The at
titude of the Wisconsin Senators and
Representatives in regard to the
matter, as disclosed by private letters
received in town, rather than through
the press, is altogether wholesome,
and shows that we have in Congress a
body of chivalrous, high minded
gentlemen.

HOW THE PEOPLE CAN GET
WHAT THEY WANT.

The Sixth congressional district of IL
Iinois will choose a representative at
the approaching election to fill a va
cancy. The old fight of 1896 is being
fought over again. The Republicans
have declared their abiding faith in the
gold standard and the St. Louis plat
form. while the Democrats have ex-
pressed their adherence to free silver
and the Chicago declaration of princi-
pies.
On one point in their platforms,
strange to say, both parties agree. Both
have declared for postal savings banks.
There is a suggestion in this action
worthy of the attention of the voters
throughout the country. Such a. course
is worthy of emulation Regarding 9TH
er matters.
When the nominating conventions of
the two great parties find it expedient
to declare for postal savings banks
there is a chance for their early estab
Iishment. The Republicans, no dOubt,win
contend that the system is in harmony
with their demand for the gold stand
ard and a sound banking system for all
the people. The Democrats doubtless
will argue that postal banks are in line
with their declarations for a financial
system free from the domination of
bankers. But whichever theory pre-
walls, the people will be assured of the
establishment of this institution, in so
far as the vote of the congressman
from the Sixth district is able to bring
about the result.
If the people of the United States
really want postal savings banks they
have only to initiate the example of the
Sixth district of Illinois and they will
get them. With the nominee of both
parties pledged to their blishment
there could be no question about the
result. The subject would cease to be a
partisan one and it could make no diff
ference which party might carry the
election.
The same rule might well be applied
to other matters of public concern.
Much could be gained by the people
which they are now denied through
partisan differences.
If there is a demand for any reform
by the people, which cannot command
a sufficient ma jority in either party to
pledge the congressional candidate of
that party to its support it may well be
doubted whether such reform be really
desired by a majority of the voters.
But it must be clear that they can get
whatever they want if they go about it
in the right way whether it be postal
savings banks, free silver, a continua-
tion of the gold standard, high tariff or
low tariff
The sentiment in favor of postal saw
ings banks seems to have been wide
spread and to have only needed crys-
talizing The work of capitalization
has been going forward rapidly lately
as is evidenced by the action of the
two parties in the Sixth Illinois dis
trict.
But it is not improbable that the sys-
tenn will be an accomplished fact before
other districts of the various states
have an opportunity to follow the ex-
ample. which has been set for them.

London press assails America for hav-
ing made the proposition which they
have forced their government to reject.
From their language one might mag
inc that we were a nation of bunco
steerers, intent on selling the guileless
Britons a bogus silver brick and that
our scheme was a new one, sprung upon
our unsuspecting victims without warn
ing. What we have really done has been
to ask the British government, in the
pOlitest way, whether it was prepared
to renew the offer it made sixteen years
ago, at the Paris monetary conference
of 1881. It seems that it has changed
its mind in the interim, as it did in
much shorter period on the sealing
question. There is no objection to
that, but it is hard to see why we
should be treated like pickpOckets for
asking the question. The alacrity with
which a section of the British press
seizes every diplomatic suggestion of
the United States as an opportunity to
heap insult upon the American gov
ernment and people is scarcely caIcu-
lated to promote those cordial relations
which our insular friends profess SO
earnestly to desire.

MUSHROOM EPlCURE
Ate the Wrong Variety and is
Badly Poisoned.

Augusta, Ga. Oct. 25-Berry Benson,
one of Augusta's best known citizens, was
poisoned today by mushrooms and has
been in a semi-conscious condition for a
large part of the day.
Benson is an enthusiast and authority
on mushrooms. He has read all on the
subject that is worth reading and knows
all the species by sight that are ordinarily
to be found He has brought new spe-
cies to public notice, and has transferred
many varieties from the poisonous to the
edible column.
He takes long walks through the woods
and brings back baskets full of them.
They are a favorite article of diet with
him. He has literally put to the test the
rule, Eat them, and if they don't kill
you they are all right
The other day he read about the poison
Gus qualities of the agricus muscarius
and determined to experiment with it. He
found some specimens and began by putt
ting small piece in his coffee. He no.
ticed no i'll effects, and this morning cook

ures began to magnify and finally to swim

be carried home and for hours they have
worked with him to keep him moving
about and from sinking into unconscious
ness. The presumption is that he will

careful not to eat enough of the mush-
though he evidently got more than he

WHY DO THEY ABUSE UsP

The New York Journal says: The
British government has rebuffed Pres
ident McKinley's bimetallic commission,
as it had an undoubted right to do.
Every country naturally looks primar
lily to it's own interests, and if England
thinks that she cannot afford to make
any contributions to the restoration of
international bimetallism, nobody can
blame her for refusing to do so. 1t
would be especially out of place for
Americans to condemn Lord Salisbury
and his colleagues, since it is well
known that most of them were earn
estly in sympathy with the proposals
of the United States, and relinquished
their intention of accepting them only
under such pressure from the banking
and capitalist classes as no British
ministry could resist.
But what we find difficulty in under
standing is the peculiar virulence with

PLANS OF THE BRICES.
They Will Renew Their Lease on the
Newport Mansion.

New York, Oct. 25.-Among the cot
tagers who will stay at Newport until
the last gun fires are the Calvin Brices
That their determination to remain in the
country so late is influenced by the fact
that their son, Stewart Brice, who is
running for the office of councilman, is
managing the campaign from the family
home in New York is inferred, but is not
stated.
Beaulieu, which they lease from Will
lie Astor, reverts to its owner at the ex-
piration of their term in the coming win
ter. Senator Brice has made arrange
ments to renew his lease, and will not
build, as has been reported. The house
is equal even to the Brices extensive and
liberal ideas, and is located more eIgibly
than any vacant piece of ground that
they could hope to purchase. Prepara-
tions are making for an active social
season by the Brices this winter but it
is yet too early to make a forecast of the
details, as some of the commentators on
social matters are inclined to do. One
point, however, can be regarded as set
tied, which is that they will not return
until the turmoil of election is well over.
