a SENSATION. There wrs big
sensation in the L. S. Senate last Fri
day caused by the presentation, by
Senator Sherman, Of letter from
Minister Rodriguez, the representa-
tive Of the Greater Republic of Cen
trail America, including Nicaragua,
which was in effect protest against
the execution Of the Nicaraguan ca
nal project by the United States I'M
der concessions granted in 1887 to the
Nicaraguan Canal Company. As the
bill for this purpose was about to be
voted on by the Senate, the appear
ance Of the lotter created constcrna-
ton among its friends. Senator
Morgan, its chief supporter, declared
that the letter was inspired by Great
Britain, who sought to drive the
United States from the isthmus by
using Central America as catspsw
The debate was very earnest and the
letter made n profound impression
on the Senators. Senator Villas de-
clared it struck death blow to the
canal project proposed by the pend
ing bill. Senator Morgan also de-
clared with much warmth that the
arbitration treaty, recently neg0.
tiated with Great Britain, would
never receive his sanction until this
letter was fully explained.

Don't Worry.

or the many good things brought out at
the farmers institute, held here last week.
none was OF more absolute worth
and importance than point made
by one speaker, VIZ: That the aver
age farmer of today should cease worry,
and work more; confne his work If posi-.
BILE to what he can do himself; live economi-
caliy' stay at home and try, with what little
he can raise, to make home happy and
cheerful; learn how much he can do
without; limit his expenses to the absolute
necesslties-and they are cheap-make no
debts or promises to pay, and don't lUOr1y.
Worry kills more than work, and the times
are hard and cash harder to get; there is
better feeling prevailing the community in
general, and when this brief season of de-
preston has passed-as it will soon--people
can again venture somewhat into Futures
Until then, however, the most careful pru.
dence, relative to OUTLAWS, are absolutely
necessary for every one. This applies to
all classes alike, and the man who has been
in the habit of receiving a dollar a day for
his services, should be content to work for
just what he can get, but work, and don't
1OoTT'y. remembering that half q dollar will
buy as much of the needs of living as dol
lar would, formerly. Go slow on needless
expenditures of whatever kind. Figure as
to how much you can curtail expense. Save
the nickles. Don't run in debt simply be-
cause your credit is good,
Don't believe what these silyerites are
telling you. If silver dollars were selling
for ten cents bushe-same as corn-you
couldn't buy one without you had the cur
rency. Our currency is plentiful and good.
1t Furthermore has nothing whatever to do
with the present condition of general depres-
sion. Money goes like crows, to where the
carcass or the grub is, and the present price
of produce is governed by the universal law
OF supply and demand. Keep quiet and
don't aoOr7y. Buckle down to business as
IL is. Better times are coming, and the mi
versal shrinkage in values has sent great
many, whose investments were tOp-heavy,
to the wall. There is better feeling gen.
orally, and confidence In our financial foot
ing is growing firmer every day.
Our excellent and honorable state senator
has given notice of bill to reduce the rate
Of legal interest. 1t is easy to see whence
that originated. 1t is what may be termed
buncombe. He has also noticed hill ex-
empting soldiers homes from taxation.
That is likewise buncombe. He probably
learned it from congressman who sometimes
try to see who can kick his chance for re-
election the highest by kicking up soldiers
claims and pensions. 1t is purely per-
sonal patriotism and goes for what it is
worth.
Finally, tho the speaker mentioned didn't
say anything very much, as 1t is put in this
article, he gave the key note and made
good talk on the subject of which the most
important, seems to me, is don't ,oorr7j.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate pressed steadily forward
on the appropriation bills yesterday.
making such progress that no further
apprehension is felt as to the passage OF
these measures. As stated in the GA
zETTE, the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill was passed early in the
day. The naval bill brought out con-
test on the price of armor plate and the
establishment of government armor
factory. The Senate committee had
recommended a maximum price of $500
per ton for armor. Mr.. Chandler en-
deavored to have the price fixed at $500.
The bill was laid aside for an executive
session. The Senate committee on
privileges and elections submitted re-
port declining to consider the claims of
Mr.. Dupont, of Delaware, to seat in
the Senate.
In the House the bill to prohibit the
transmission of detailed accounts of
prize fights by mail OF telegraph was
brought up and led to very lively de-
bate, in which prizefghting was de-
nounced on all sides. The advocates of
the bill insisted that the "sickening de-.
tails" should be suppressed in the in
terest of good morals. But the bill met
with most strenuous opposition on the
ground that it would tend to establish
censorship of the press. At the end
of the debate the adversaries of the
measure outvoted the friends of the
bill on several flibustering motions,
but an agreement for recess until 10
o'clock to-day put an end to hostiities.
