Some sharp war talk was INDUCED in
by the Senate to-day. When consider
alton of the sundry civil appropriation
bill was resumed the pending question
was the amendment of Mr.. Pettus. OF
Alabama, providing for such improve
ment of the harbOr at Mobile as would
enable war vessels to obtain coal and
other supplies there. Mr.. Allison, OF
Iowa. in charge of the bill, made a
point of order against the amendment.
This called cut bitter speech by Mi.
Morgan. of Alabama, who charged the
appropriation committee with dlscrlm-
mating against proper measures and
he threatened to assist in
DISSOLVING THE COMMITTEE.
He followed with an argument show
ing the necessity of the Improvement
proposed, holding that it would open
to the government in time of war the
coal fields of the South. and enable it
successfully to fight the reasonable
monopoly that had been formed to
control the coal supply of the country
in the event of war.
The amendment was lost.
At 2 o'clock the bill had not been
completed and was laid aside. the Sem
ate devoting the remainder OF the al
ternoon to eulogies of the late Senator
James T. George, Of Mississippi.
Adjournment was taken till Mon
day.
SO far as this government is con-
cerned diplomacy, it is stated. has run
it's course. No negotiations OF any
character are now pending nor will
they be resumed except at the solicit
tation of Spain, and for the stated pur-
pose of carrying into effect the de-
mands Of TINS government already
communicated to the Madrid authori-
ties
information from high source
clearly indicates that
A NAVAL DEMONSTRATION
against Havana has been considered,
and is almost certain to be made with
in a few days, unless Spain yields, and
if this demonstration results in war
the President is ready to accept the is
sue. A cabinet officer to-day said:
WHY are we hurrying Americans
out of Cuba except that their lives will
be in danger after the Presidents mes
sage has gone to Congress and his pur-
pose fully known to the Cubans? That
is the reason, AMI the only one"
This government it is further stated,
has learned to distrust much that
comes even from Official sources at
Madrid, and from now actions and not
words, member of the Cabinet de-
cleared, will determine our policy.

Washington, April 7-There was a
scene OF great excitement in the House
late this afternoon during the consid-
Grafton of the bill for the reorganiza-
ton Of the army. 1t was caused by
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat. who
made vicious assault on the admins
tration, charging that the policy Of
delay was in the interest OF stock lob
bers in Wall street. he alleged that
wall street was in possession Of in
formation that the message would not
go in long before it was known at the
Capitol, and proflted heavily by the
advance IN the price of stocks which
resulted. He even charged that there
was no warrant for the alarming
statements about the situation in Ha-
yana, which were made as a iustitica-
ton for the delay of the message. MI
Lentzs speech created a profound SEN
sation and was met by an emphatic
reply from General Grosvenor, now
generally regarded as the administra-
ton spokesman on the floor.
Mr.. Grosvanor net only Indignantly
denied that there was Justification for
the reports, but held Mr.. / antz up to
scorn for alleging corrupt motives
against the President
MIR. LENTZ DISCLAIMED THIS,
but the irate friend of the President
gave him no mercy. He was thorough
ly aroused and laid about him with a
veritable verbal bludgeon, charging
that the Democrats were seeking pCli-
teal advantage. and paying his re-
spects to John j. McCook and others
Before he concluded, he expressed the
opinion that war was as certain as that
we would live until next week, unless
it was averted by Sapin.
The debate on the army bill to-day
developed more and more opposition
Mr.. Hull tried to save the bill by
agreeing to strike out all its provis-
ions, even the three battalion forma-
ton features, but it was in the end re-
committed, $50 to 61.
The House adjourned until Monday.

LODGE KICKERS.

We very often hear the remark, "He
Is a good member, but he kicks too
much" Stop moment. Does he kick
just to find fault and create dissension, or
does he kick for the good of the lodge?
In almost every lodge we find at least
one member who makes study of Good
Templary, who never misses chance to
visit lodges, no matter where located.
and this Is generally the member who is
known as the lodge Kicker" He
kicks to have the officers commit their
parts, and not use the ritual during the
limitations; he wants every ode sung,
opening, closing and initiatory; he in
sists on having the minutes correct, and
kicks because the report blanks in the
back of the books are neglected. He is
not satisfied unless every one In the
room is wearing regalia and insists upon
having perfect quiet during initiation,
and hundred other things, and they
are all necessary. He is not always
popular, because it is a we'll known fact
that when he begins an argument he
has something to prove it. He is gener-
ally "turned down" and "sat upon"
about once every six months, but he
comes up smiling and just as full of
kicks as ever at the next meeting. Yet
with all his kicking, the lodge would not
do without him. If there is money 20 be
raised or work to be done he is never
found wanting. He is a necessary evil,
because if some one doesn't insist on
having things as they should be, what
would become of some of our lodges?
But it is not right to compel one or two
members of lodge to do all the "kick-
ing Let every member of the order
secure copy of the constitution and by
laws and become informed on the sub
iect, and practice the information thus
acquired and the "Lodge Kicker will
become unnecessary and obsolete; hut
until this is done he will be both
necessary and present. Brothers and
sisters, pitch in. Do things right, down
to the finest point. Strive to make your
meetings impressive and educating and
then notice how much your lodge will
grow. How many more will attend the
meetings and how much better the
meetings will be! Until you do this let
me ask that the Lodge Kicker" be
listened to and that you don't be too
hard on him. SCRIPTUs.

Spirit Of the Dress.
THE SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.


The general strike in the cotton mills
throughout New England has again di-
rected attention to the rapid development
of that industry in the southern states,
which has caused a reduction of wages
in the north on account of the impossi.
billy of competition at present prices.
Until recently the cotton mills of the
south have produced only coarse goods,
which found their market in that section
or were shipped to foreign countries,
where the lowest grades find the best
sale, but of late the southern mills are
improving the quality of their products
and are coming into immediate competi-
ton with the New England factories, in
which the advantage is all upon their
side. The contrast in the conditions and
the difference in the expense of produc-
ing the same goods in the two sections is
very marked. Most of the skilled labor
in the south, as in the north, is white
A few colored persons are employed as
porters, laborers and in similar positions.
In many of the New England mills it is
necessary to print the regulations and
notices to employees in four different
languages, but only English is needed
in the south, and, while the operatives
in the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama
are ignorant and the majority of them
are unable to read or write, their ances-
tors have resided In the same locality
ever since the country was settled by
white men, and with little experience
and education they show intelligence
and skill that is more efficient than that
Of foreign hands. They are satisfied
with small wages, work ten or twelve
hours a day until old age and never ask
the protection of labor organizations.
It their pay should be reduced, or if they
should be badly treated, they would I'M
loubtedly rebel, but they do not expect
he privileges that northern working
people demand, and their employers have
discovered that fair treatment is the best
policy.
Wages among the southern mills are
very much lower than in the north. The
average pay of operatives is less than
n the north. The average pay of opera
ives is less than 81 a week. In the old
aSlOl lCo uCdl DdlllI1OTe Tie scale runs
rom 50 to $40 per week, the latter be-
ng paid the engineer and superintendent.
Women who weave make from Sc to 50,
men in other branches from IS to Sl2,
While large portion of the operatives
who are women and girls average from
$40 to $50 per month only. Yet these
Mills are said to pay the highest scale of
wages in the south.
1T is a popularity of the southern
operatives that they insist upon a stated
um per week. They will not accept
liding scales, although in the end their
'ay may amount to more money, and all
PERSONS engaged in the same class of
Employment must receive the same
wages, regardless of their comparative
Efficiency, while in New England the
'ay is usually regulated by the results
ccomplished, and a premium is thus
'iven to skill and intelligence.
The cost of living in the mill towns of
he south is from 30 to 40 per cent less

The first quality of hair is horse
hair and comes chiefly from South
America from wild horses. They use
only the tails and name, and the own
ers of the horses wind them I'D In
coils every two years. Oftentimes a
horse will have escaped the round-ups
for four or five seasons and will come
in with a tail ten feet long. The hair
of South American wild animals is
longer than the hair of animals of
almost any other section. This hair
is worth from 38 to 48 cents a pound
in the rope, according to length. 1t is
twisted into ropes, which gives it the
curl, and in that way shipped to the
mattress makers. Hair over sixteen
inches long is used for making hair
cloth, such as was put in furniture in
our grandfathers' days; that is worth
from 81 to Sc pound.
Second quality of hair is a mixture
of cattle heads and the short hair of
the horse. The cheapest is goat hair
from Siberia, worth from to 6 cents
pound

A Frenchman has discovered that
butter may be preserved fresh in
definitely by kneading into it a solu-
ton composed of 1000 parts of water
and five to twenty per cent, of fuoride
of sodium, sealing Theoretically and
leaving a space at the TOP of the re-
ceptacle which is filled with the solu-
ton. Butter may thus be preserved
for years in the hottest climate, and
when wanted is kneaded in fresh wa
ter, which removes the fuoride.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrOw'S Method of Curing Dis
eases Accusing the Interests of
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning TO
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom.
ach, various impurities, which, If permitted
to course through the system. quickly render
the blood unfit to carry on the process of
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularlty in the per.
Torrance of this function is Immediately
manifested in general weakening of the
