PUBLIC PRINTER


To Do All the Work Counncted With
the Twelfth oensus-In the Senate
Mr.. wellington Made Speech on
the Philippine Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The house
to-day passed the senate bin to extend
the powers OF the director OF the cen-
sus after striking out the committee
amendment to authorize the director to
contract for extra printing with private
contractors. The whole fght was on
that amendment. The influence OF the
public printer and the labor organiza-
lions OF the country were employed
against It and after q lively debate of
several hours It was Overwhelmingly
defeated. The publication Of the re-
ports OF the twelfth census, therefore,
viii be made by the public printer, as
in the past.
Mr.. Hopkins explained that the bill
with the exception OF the fourth sec
tiou, met the unanimous approval Of
the census committee. This section au-
thorizes the director Of the census 10
contract outside Of the government
printing ONCE for printing the census
reports.
In response to a question from Mr..
shattuck, (ohio), he said he would be
willing to incorporate an amendment
recurring that the work should be done
by union labor.
Mr.. Wheeler, tKy.), asked why IL
the government work was to be let to
the lowest bidder, there should be any
provision restricting it to firms em-
ploying union labor.
Mr.. Hopkins replied that he would
accept the amendment to show there
was no hostility to union labor.

Mr.. Babcock, Cwis.). asked what
there was to prevent a rat Office, II 1t
was the lowest bidder, from obtaining
the work
"There is not a rat office in America"
retorted Mr.. Hopkins, (which can do
this work"
For an hour to-day Mr.. Wellington.
CRep., Md. occupied the attention Of
the senate, continuing the debate on the
Philippine question. He took as his
text the. resolution he introduced last
Tuesday, declaring that the United
states should not take permanent pos
session OF the archipelago, but, after
subduing the Insurrection-which he
sincerely deplored-should confer upon
the FIIlpinos the right TO govern them
selves, afrording them such protection
as they might need.
Mr.. Teller, (sn. Rep, colo). resumed
his speech on the financial bill, in the
course Of which he arralgned Secretary
Gage for his negotiations with the Ma
tfonal City Bank of New York. He
had not concluded his remarks when he
suspended them for the day.
Mr.. welllngton's speech was listened
TO with attention by senators and audi
tors in the galleries and at Its concIus-
ion was spplauded.
on motion of Mr.. Aldrich, Or. ~,
consideration of the financial bill was
resumed and Mr.. Teller continued the
speech he began yesterday.

Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine; put in n large spi-
der over hot fire, then add about the
same quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make 1t thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly, let
ting 1t simmer FIVE or ten minutes.
Then put ia a cotton bag large enough
to cover'the lungs and apply 1t to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When 1t gets cool, apply another and
thus continue by reheating the poul-
tices. In few hours the patient will
be out of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until perspiratlon starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known,
who never lost patient by this dis
ease and won his renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
hest medical talent had pronounced
their cases hopeless. Personally we
know of three persons who were saved
by the remedy last winter in Boston
after their physicians had given them
up to die, and II record was made Of

them all Some consist more Of aire

sorted into three kinds, sweet, soure
and unsavory. Sweet apples ease the
cough, quench thirst. cure melancholy,
comfort the heart and head. especially
IL they be fragrant and odoriferous,
and also give laudable nourishment.
Soure apples hinder splitting, straiten

The best He Could DO.

"Mr. Blaine" says the. Washington
correspondent CT Tho Chicago Record,
used to tell story Of an eccentric In
dividual In Maine who was never
known to express an opinion on any
subject. Being called as witness In
a lawsuit TO testify concerning the rep
utation of the defendant, the lawyers
on both sides failed to obtain a direct
answer to any of their questions and
finally appealed to the court. tf
Regarding the man sternly the Judge
said In his most impressive tones;

Now observe. The one which loses
a minute day has TO lose - hours, or

consequently IT is only right once In
two years. whereas the other Is evil

twice day. So you've contradicted

whats the use OF Its being right
twice day. IL can't tell when the

Why, suppose the clock points to s
O'clock. don't you see that the clock Is
right at s o'clock? Consequently wnen
s o'clock comes your clock is right.

SHE HAS A NEW VALlSE.
why She Bought II and Why, Also,
She VIII Not Lend 1t.

She Will Not Lend II.
A Portland woman tells this story,
which may have a moral:
Several years ago her husband made
her present Of travelling bag made
of black Russia leather, handsomely
mounted and strong and serviceable.
She had had it only few days when
the sister-in-law of her boarding mis-
tress borrowed it to take with her to
the White mountains. 1t looked so
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
a few days when a friend who was
among the hills of Oxford county beg
ged the loan OF it, and again it was
taken down from "the upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make a
visit Of a few weeks in Montreal.
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ished. and still its owner had had no
occasion to carry. it.
One evening favorite cousin called.
He was captain of a brig which was
to sail for the coast of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have a valise she wouldn't need for
six months or SO? Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced, and that
was the last time the lady saw it for
two years, when 1t reached her by the
hand of sailor from the brig. But 1t
was in such a battered and forIorn
condition that she consigned 1t to the
waste barrel.
In the meantime she had bought a
new vallse, which she declined to lend.

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.

And Gould Knew Where to Get tho
Rails to Do 1t.
Jay Gould once wanted to build
short line to certain place and found
rivals in the field. To Sylvester 7.
Smith he gave imperative orders, Get
out as big force as possible, and COM
plete the road before the other fellows
get wind Of it, and we'll head 'em Off"
Smith reported presently, "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates, bolts, nuts and spikes we want,
but we can't get the rails" "Tele-
graph to every mill in the country, and
pay any price," said Gould. 81 have
done SO, and there is no chance for a
delivery under IL months" "Then,"
said the little wizard, "go somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy, branch or feeder of the
Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up a railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do it.
"Who is Jay Gould?" some asked.
"What has he got to do with it?"
Up rose young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds Of the Union Pa
cific road, though not dollar Of it's
stock, and that he was absolute pro-
prietor of the feeder that Mr.. Smith
had torn up. There never was more
surprised and mystified lot of men.
They had nothing more to say.-San
