THE CHECK SYSTEM.

The American constitution has been
called system of checks. So in American
life. When you want to travel you give
your baggage to the porter of your hotel
and he gives you a check in return. At
the station you reclaim it with check and
pass it in at the counter and receive another
check. AS you approach your destination
another fnnctionary comes along the train,
in its place. He fishes out your baggage
and conveys it to your hotel-for con-
sideration You have left your third aud
last check ut the office of the hotel when
you enter it, and thence it is delivered up
on the receipt of baggage.
At first you bless this arrangement as
weeks Of it the tyranny of the check be-
comes SO CALLING that you begin to long for
the tine old English method of dumping
down your goods in front of porter and
leaving them to find the way themselves.
You would even hail it as personal
triumph if some of your baggage would
get lost. But it never does. Sometimes it
arrives late but it always arrives.
Yet it seldom arrives in the shape in
which it started, if that is any consolation.
Thoy who have to do with baggage see
to that. You very soon discover why
Americans carry their goods in ironclad
trunks, and why it is madness for anybody
to do anything else. started out, like an
idiot, with a new leather portmantcau.
they ripped the stout brass lock off thu
first week-not for plumber, apparently,
hut simply because it is the tradition of thr
service. They punched it aud kicked and
danced on it. In softer hours when liter
AIRY inspiration came, they wrote on it..
My portmanteau today is an epitome of
the political sentiment Of the United States
from New York to San Francisco. As a
historical document it is beyond price, and
| am contemplating the gift of it to the
library of Congress at Washington. AS Il
portmanteau is has both feet in the grave.
The system of checks is not confined to
travellers luggage. The conductor of the
train passes carelessly to and fro asking
for your ticket and giving you check in
return, or asking for your check and re-
turning your ticket. If you hand your
stick to a boy in a hotel while you write
your name in the register, he dashes off to
stow it away in some secret place and re-
turns triumphant with check. In the
very hotel bar, when you buy sevenpence
ha' porth of whisky you get check and
walk two yards across the bar to pay at
the desk.
But the apothesis of the check is at
Niagara. When you go down to the Cave
of the Winds, you strip off all your clothes
and leave them, as well as your valuables,
in a tin box with the attendent Then you
20 down to battle with the cataract attired
only in suit OF pajamas, a suit of oilskins
and check dashed around your neck and
rising and falling with the beating of your
heart. No wonder the American speaks of
death as 'handing in his checks 1t is
only by death he can rid himself of them.

Mo Money to Test Meats.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-"Inquiry at
the department of agriculture" SAID
Congressman White, of Chicago,
"shows there is no appropriation from
which to pay for microscopic tests Of
meat intended for the export trade.
Neither will the department permit
such inspectors to be paid by private
parties who have immense interests at
stake. My attention was drawn to
this matter by firm whose place Of
business is located in my district, the
contention being that they are suffer
ing heavy loss through inability to
have these tests made more promptly.
There is a disposition manifested by
the secretary Of agriculture to help
US out in this trouble as far as pos
sitle, but the remedy lies with con.
gress.
"It was suggest that those who
have interests involved should take
the iniative and urge upon their rep
resentatives the necessity for making
an appropriation to conduct these
tests, and thus facilitate the export
of the meat products Of this country
Such a course would entail an expend-
iture of only $30,000."

Robbers Caught.

GCoTTAGE GROVE, Dec. 9,-Six hobos
were run in by the chief of police, Of
Cottage Grove.
When the gang were searched
it was found that one Of the number
had gold watch and $2S in coin.
This led the CHIEF of police to think
he might have some connection with
the recent robberies at Roseburg. Ac-
cordingly he wired description of the
suspect and articles found upon him
10 Roseburg, and the marshal of the
latter place Immediately wired to hold
the man as he was the identical one
wanted.

adopted inviting the secretary to en-
body his views In bill. The COM
mittee was informed that the secre
tary was now at work on measure
and that At would be available for the
committee in about a week.
Hill of Connecticut precipitated a
sharp debate by moving that the
committee act at once by reporting to
the house bill embodying the three
financial features which had the pres
ident's approval. These we're en-
bodied in the bill heretofC re offered by
Brossius OF Pennsylvania, and Hill
now proposed that the irst three Sec
tions be placed before the house i'm
mediately. The three sections pro-
vided for bank circulation upon the
par value of bonds deposited, reduc-
tion of the tax on circulation to one
fourth of one per cent, and establish
ment of state banks in rural counties.
Hill said the committee would do
we'll not TO 20 through the tedious
process of considering and debating
these proposition, which appeared to
meet with general acceptance and had
received executive approval.
Johnson Of Indiana earnestly OPP
posed such hasty action. He said
there should be time to hear from the
gentleman forming the monetary
ion and to weigh all the pro-
visions. Precipitate action on such a
vital subject would, he said, seriously
prejudice the committee before the
house and the country,
The debate was proceeding with
when at II o'clock it went
over, a vote on the Hill motion not
having been reached.

Six Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Secretar.
Gage has submitted to the department
of state his report upon the action OF
the treasury department in suppress
ing tillibusterng' expeditions to Cuba
in violation of the neutrality laws.
Mr.. Gage points out the fact that
during two years and half only six
American vessels, of an aggregate of
l 1881 registered tons, are alleged to
have safely landed expeditions from
the United States in Cuba.
On The Atlantic and gulf coast, in
1895, there were l0,66S vessels under
200 tons and 2,917 vessels of 1,l00 tons
or less, total of 1856 American yes
sells of all description available for fill
busteripg exped tions. That only six
of these 1855 American vessels sue
ceeded in reaching Cuba, and that
less than so per cent Of them share in
these expeditions Secretary Gage says,
is demonstrative, first, of the law
abiding spirit Of the nation and OF
the observance by the people of the
presidents command.
Eight revenue cutters have captured
seyen vessels and 115 men and have
broken up two expeditions, and have
held under surveillance ia vessels un-
der suspicion.
