In the Senate, . sequel to the recent political
troubles in Delaware was presented by Mr.. Bur-
rows Mich, r. in the form Of an appeal BY
the Presidential electors of that State-Messrs.
Shaw, Wilson, and Fooks-for Congressional
Investigation ofirregularities set forth by them.
The appeal states that by illegal and fraudulent
methods in Kent County, . majority OF about
FIVE hundred votes in favor of the Union Re
publican ticket was changed into false ana
apparent Democratic majority of about two
hundred. This the appeal declares, is sub
versive of Republican institutions and the
three electors most earnestly request Congress
to fully and fairly investigate the premises,
and take appropriate action therein"
Mr.. Turpie spoke OH the Cameron Cuban
resolution. The power Of Congress, he said,
was SO primary and paramount that Congress
could execute the powers Of the President,
even to the appointment Of Postmaster.

branch failed to perform its functions as estab-

Tn tbe Senate. Senator Turpie lind, made a
vigorous speech against the Nicaragua Canal
bill. Mr.. Turpie said that all attempts to con-
struct the canal had failed. There was nothing
extraordinary in this bill which would insure
the success of the project.
The enormous profits to be gained from the
successful operation Of the canal had oeen
spoken of. Not fnancier in any part OF Tue

enterprises. No private money would DC IN
vested in If. although it had been widely ad-
vertised the world over. The stocks ana bonus
of the construction company, if the appropris.
ton were made, would have commercial
value. The stock of the Maritime Nicaragua
Canal Company, depending for value upon the
comnletion of the project, would be worthless.
The funds for the Panama Canal scheme oil
DE Lessons were raised by levy upon the
peonle of France. Their credulity was re-
wardcd by the failure of the enterprise. his
was the fourth American concession, but IL was
peculiar in one thing. Neither dc WITT Cin-
ton, Vanderbilt nor Kelly had asked Tor Gov

pleted.
In the House. the day was devoted to the
consideration of private pension bills. Under
the terms of the order debate on each bill was
limited to 10 minutes.
There was pathetic incident In connection
with the first bill called up. 1t proposed to
grant a pension of S12 per month to Margaret
O'Donnell. volunteer Army Nurse. who de-
voted her services from 1862 to 1865 to the
wounded of the 22d n. Y. L. A. Her claim has
been pending before Congress for several years.
Yesterday when the bill was brought up Mr..
Thomas Mich moved that it be laid on the
table.

mittee has just received word that the oene-

In the House, the veto by the President of
Cooper's bill to provide for holding terms of the
United States Court of the Eastern District Of
Texas at the town of Beaumont was overruled
by vote of 144 to g.
Mr.. Cooper started the ball rolling by declar-
ing that the President had vetoed his bill
through a misrepresentation. and that he had
vainly tried to get al audience with Mr.. Cleve.
land to explain the measure. He said it was
with some humiliation that he recounted the
fact that he had several times called upon MIR.
Cleveland to present the reasons why it should
be signed, or to meet any objections which the
President might raise, but he had been denied
admission to Mr.. Cleveland. On the occasion
of his last visit he said he had been informed
BY Private Secretary Thurber that it would be
useless for him to see the President, as Mr..
Cleveland had already made up his mind to
veto the bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio r. spoke sarcastically

made so by alcohol, Is more or less in
capable OF sustaining d ~preconceived idea
and carrying It put, especially y time and
continuous drinking follow. This Is the
rule to which there are exceptions. but
these exceptions clearly follow certain cir
cumstanees which are easily traced. Often
IL Is claimed that spirits are given for the
purpose OF obtaining undue influence In
the making OF a will or signing q contract.
This is confirmed by clinical study Of cases,
and facts Indicate the impulsiveness Of the
act, with absence of elaboration or fore
thought. Decisions and misconceptions Of
acts and motives are very common in all in
ebriates. Faulty reasoning, childish Gre
dulity II general failure of capacity to
discriminate and adjust himself to the con-
ditions and surroundings must Of necessity
result in wrongdoing; although In many
cases the condition Is covered up, and only
when the person acts along unusual lines
is 1t apparent.
"All contracts and wills written by in
ebriates should be subjected to careful
scrutiny. Not infrequently such acts dis
play sound Judgment, and 1t Is found that
they are the elimination Of previous con-
captions. Where they manifest imbecility
md strange motives, 1t is clearly the work
ings OF an anasthetic brain, acting from
suggestions from without or deranged i'm
pulses formed within. While o very large
humber OF inebriates act nationally In or
binary affairs OF society and business, and
do not commit overt acts that come under
legal recognition, 1t "a d question II this is
not the result Of accident and conditions.
There are strong reasons for believing that
u slight changing Of surroundings both
mental and physical would explode the de-

insanity. crlminality or idiocy. Instances
are not infrequent OF acts OF lawlessness
and crime in inebriates previously law
abiding and honest citizens. It was not
the last use Of spirits which provoked the

had been gathering like u storm before.

Miss Fannie Beck, aged one year, of
Boston, is considered by many, with
good reason,to be the most precocious
sssiidrinsthe- country. Before the lit
tie girl was five months cid she began
to talk, aud within a month she was
able to speak Auently. She did not
commence with the harsh cultural
sounds usually heard from most babies,
but framed her words completely aud
iycented her words correctly. The
ahild's attainments at the present
line discredit all the stories of pre-,
locious children for which Boston, ac-
ording to the comic paper, is so
amous. When Miss Fannie was
leven months old she began to crawl

Longevity Of Teetotslers.

The following statement appeared in q
late issue Of the British Medical Journal:
THE remarkable difference In favor OF
abstaiDtng lives over those OF non-abstain-
erS, which has characterized the yearly re-
turns OF the United Kingdom Temperance
insurance Company for a quarter OF a CEN
fury, has been again exhibited. During
last year, In the Notwithstanding section,
the actual death claims werp $50, Of farty-
eedEpsfa6ce se~ctiSyTgfhe actual death
claims wfre GAG, or - fewer than tho ex-
pectancyf In other words, IL the death
rate Of tho abstainers had been the same as
OF the n6p-abstainers. instead Of 246 there
would h4ve been $40 deaths, or seventy
four mofe; while il the death rate of tho
non-absthiners had been the same as of the
abstaine4s, there would have been eighty-
four fewAr deaths.'
In the face of the great popular fallacy
that negotiating drinks are necessary to
preseryet our health, this statement from
the yeryl best medical authority is, to say
the very least, OF paramount Importance.
All thatla man hath will he give for his
NE, says Holy Writ, and 1t may be reason
ably presumed that II mankind generally
were positively assured OF longer life on
