END OF the discussion which was so
demoralized Wednesday by the indis-
cretions of Tillman and the unparallel-
ed rebuke administered to him by the
democratic side. Mr.. Carmack lost
his temper, INDUCED in fiery epithets

republicans say they are well salts

are glad the democrats started the
agitation.
The Truth of the Matter.
In the senate yesterday Vest, of Mis-
souri,, denied the oft-repeated story of
the Hampton roads conference be-.
tween President Lincoln and delegates
OF the confederacy, when it was al
legged Lincoln said if he might write
the word Union" they might fill in
any other terms. Vest said John H.
Reagan, the last surviving member of
the Confederate cabinet had denied
the story, and he (vest the last sur
viving member of the Confederate SEN
ate, could assert it was not true. Vest
asserted Lincoln told the delegates
nothing but unconditional surrender
would be accepted. The details of that
conference were given him by Alexan-
der H. Stephens.
"It will be only a short time" said
Vest, "before shall join the twenty
five colleagues of the Confederate SEN
ate who have gone before, and in the
interest of true history feel it my du-
ty to deny the story that has been cir
culated."
He said if Lincoln had made any
such offer the men who refused it
would have been responsible for the
fearful loss of life that followed, as
the terms gave the south everything
they could in reason ask.

President Approves Utterances.
1t is understood that the speech was
informally talked over in the cabinet
meeting Immediately following its de

masses of the American people. 1t is
also understood that several cabinet
officers took occasion TO congratulate
Secretary Shaw upon the advanced

that he had struck key note.

obeying the orders of his superior Off

remaining away from his ship he was
charged with being a deserter. The
bill for relieving Glass of this disabil--

not, however, any likelihood that any
official action will be taken with a
view to bringing up the case again.

seeking the appointment, but the Col

Three congressman Dead at Same
Time.
/ Colonel Hepburn called attention to
the fact that never before in the his
i tory of the United States, SO far as he
could ascertain, had there ever been
4 a time, previous to the present week,
when three members of congress lay
dead in their homes at one time The
death of Congressman Salmon, of New
| Jersey, before the bodies OF Congress-
man Cummings and Otey had been
| buried produced a situation unprece-
denied in congressional annals There
was long stretch, from July to
March, without single death in the
house. Then came the sudden demise
of Mr.. Polk of Pennsylvania in March
and the deaths of Cummings, Otey
and Salmon all within four days. Col
onel Hepburn says that at one time
during the Forty-fourth congress two
members lay dead at the same time
and that comes the nearest to the rec
ord of the past week. Eleven deaths
occurred during the Fifty-fifth CON
gress which is said to be the greatest
record for a single congress. Colonel
Hepburn says he figured on the propo-
sition and found that the mortality in
the house doring the Fifty-fifth con-
gress was greater, per thousand men,
than was the mortality among the
United States soldiers during the war
with Spain, in progress at that time.

Lady Babbie," roguish and bubbling over with mischief and fun, but with a true little heart, is its hero inc and the play presents her as II she had just stepped out of the pages of the novel. All the quaint and picturesque characteristics of the Thrums' elders and their associates are preserved in the mimic panorama of Scotch life, and The Little Minister is the veritable ordained young gentleman himself, as interesting and sentimental as Lady Babbie' found him. The story will be artistically presented, all the original scenery being used on this occasion.

CRIME AND EDUCATION.

The ignorant races are by no means innocent races. Life and property are safer in Scotland than in Sicily, and
 though race and creed may be in part
 the causes, still the latter at least must
 be one oe the results of comparative\in- | telligence. Crime, more especially Vio- | lent crime, seems on the whole to di-
 minish with the spread of education, | though it must be admitted that in 1 some countries, especially France, there
 are ugly breaks in the completeness Of | the evidence The stupid are often cunning, and there is in the ignorant disposition toward violence, which the l late MT. Hutton, a keen observer of mental peculiarities always traced to consciousness of mental weakness, and | it's resultant, wish to manifest strength in some direction, and so pre- serve sef-respect. The educated are naturally better aware of consequences, and are, simply because they have been trained, less liable to be carried away by those fierce waves of excitement the causes of which are still not completely traced. A. Southern mob, composed of persons who really know little more than the beasts of the field, is capable
 of becoming at moments notice. a
 crowd of atrocious criminals, a phe-
 nomenon constantly witnessed in the
 anti-Semitic outrages. The drunken
 rough too, is more disposed toward out
 rage than the drunken gentleman, be-
 cause the latter retains more complete
 ly some relics of intelligence The
 evidence of those engaged in education
 is, we believe, nearly unbroken in the
 same direction. They tend, no doubt,
 slightly to dislike the stupid, who give
 them so much more trouble, and yield
 them no reward but their experience is
 that of deeply interested observers, and
 they, as a rule, say that the intelligent
 among their pupils, and especially that class of the intelligent-it is only class--which likes to be instructed, are,
 on the wholes morally the better, are less influenced by the wish for excite ment and more disposed to dislike evil for it's own sake. The stupid of both sexes have in them, they say, a latent tendency both to vice and crime which is not readily applicable though we should explain it. as we have done in the case of Goudie the forger, by dull ness of imagination, and q consequent pleasure in anything which makes them feel more fully alive That is, we sus- pect the ultimate source of that sense of pleasure in crime which undoubtedly exists in majority of criminals, or they would he fewer and much less readily detected and kept down-The Spectator.

Men Who Dodge Lenten Fare and Eat On the Sly--They Are Hungry.
 This is the best season of the year for my business.'' said the prosperous proprietor of a busy restaurant "If I had charge of the religiouS institutions of this country I'd have two instead of | one, seasons Of Lent"
 Why, how is that?" asked the inquisitive customer, IS he pocketed a handful of matches
 Well" said the landlord, "the way I explain 1t is this. Most of the women are religious, and great stickers for everything that the church rules or decrees Consequently when Lent comes on thry insist upon observing 1t to the letter This is not the case with the men, who take more worldly view of all such things, and who see no good reason why they should go hungry for forty days every time spring rolls around Their wives generally start them in all right, and, and for about week they manage to stand the racket without getting weak in the knees but you may rest assured of one thing. the best of them do not last any longer than that time.
 Along toward the end of the first week the tired business man starts home after a day of worry and veX- ation, and, reaching the end of the block, he remembers that 1t is Lent and that his wife is running the domestic machine on a religious plan. Then he strikes a bee line for the nearest cafe. He comes in rather sheepishly, but
 l.. steak and other good things he comes up smiling and wondering why he never thought of such thing before. Then he goes home and fools his wife into believing that he is a better Christian than St, Peter himself. We never fail to do rushing business during Lent, and dozens of my Lenten customers are fooling their trusting little wives into thinking that they wouldn't eat meat during the forty days for fortune, w Washington Post.
