The United States Senate is evident
ly determined to make its impress upon
legislation, whether it improve it or not
This determination may spring from a
desire really to improve measures un-
der consideration, or from effort mere
ly to obstruct the policies of the adj
m~inistration. If from the former, ac-
ton requires considerable explanation
if from the latter, conclusions are east
ly to be drawn. There is a tendency
on the part of the public to draw con-
illusions as easily as possible.
When the Senate had finished with
the Philippine bill, it sent back to the
House a measure whose provisions
were widely different from those orig
inally contained When 1t had passed
the Statehood bill it had made fish of
group of territories and fowl of
snether, thereby creating opportunity
for almost endless trouble. In its con-
sideration of the Railroad Rate bill it

railroads to Cypress the public. 1t has
delayed action on the canal matter,
held up the Santo Domingo treaty, and
shelved other matters Of more or less
importance. to the disadvantage of the
interests of this country.
With such a record Of thwarted pur-
pose and delayed measures the Senate
can hardly expect to escape the cen
sure that Is now being administered to
it. If these actions were intended to
promote the public welfare criticism
would be milder but they so emphatic

PUT THE ANIMALS TOGETHER.

Their Effort to Keep Warm Put an
End TO Their Hosffliffes.
Men are sometimes advised to take
a lesson from the animals, and a story
told by N. Hughes lie Roux would seem
to Indicate that they are at least quite
capable Of intelligent reasoning, says
the London Globe.
NJ. lie Roux has Travelled extensively
and at his place. not far from Paris,
he likes to study the animals he has
brought back from his wanderings. he
has at present in his amateur menag-
erie a Saharan g~azelle, a young Italian
wolf, two fox terriers and a mare and
her foal. At first all these animals
were on the very worst Of terms with
one another. The wolf had his shout
der put out of joint by the gazelle IL
an encounter in which he was given
to understand that the gazelle did not
care to be disturbed in her daily prom.
enades. The mar could not bear the
fox terriers, and If they ever ven.
turned near her box when she was
sucking her foal she was ready to
make a meal of them.
The various members OF the menag
erie would probably have continued tc
maintain toward one another an at.
titude Of enmity and defiance had moi
an accidental circumstance put an end
to their mutual hostility. At the com
~mencement Of winter workmen began
to demolish the kennel and take the
roof Off the stable. All the animals
were exposed to cold and rain.
How to keep them comfortable was
at length solved by an Ethiopian sol.
der whom NJ. lie Roux had brought
back gith him to France. "All these
animals are coid," he argued, because
they are separate. I'll put them to
gether." Had he consulted his master
before doing SO he could certainly not
have obtained permission, for NJ. lie
Roux, knowing their hostility toward
one another, would have forbidden suct
a plan for fear of the consequences.
But when he went into the garden
one day to give his pets a carrot he
found them all collected together. The
millennium had arrived-the gazelle
and the wolf were lying down togeth
or. the mare and the fox terriers haS
ecome r~econciled. and in the common
warmth and comfort which they joint.
ly shared all thought Of hatred had
vanished.

would incriminate himself. but if prose-
cution is waived and immunity guaran-
teed, he can no longer refuse to tell
what he knows.
The Importance of this decision is APP
parent to those who have followed the
case against the beef packers. The at
torney general is trying them for al
legged violation of the antitrust law.
Witnesses have refused to answer. At
torneys of the companies nave endeavor
ed to exclude testimony which was Sc
cured by Commissioner Garfield. of the
department of labor and commerce, ON
the alleged ground that this informa-
ton was given with the stipulation
that it could not be used by the de-
partment of justice. Commissioner
Garfield denies the truth of this, and
an effort was made to show that the
information did not come from his de-
partment, although the government did
not succeed in establishing it as a fact.
But under the decision of the SUI
preme Court, the ground is taken from
the very feet of the corporations. They
are not like individuals. If their rec
ords will convict them. that does not
excuse them from bringing the records
into the court for examination.
The way is now clear to prosecute
all cases of alleged violation. The
trusts have been driven to cover. Their
officials cannot dodge the inquisition by
the government. Individuals may es-
cape punishment if the proof of guilt
depends on their W lips. but this tes-
timony can be used to convict the cor
porations by which they are employed.
This is one of the greatest victories
Of the administration. 1t removes the
chief obstacle in the path of prosecu-
ton and compels every corporation ac-
cused of violating the law to show up
its methods of doing business.-Toledo
Blade.

A soldiers Exnerience.


Ny first gun was a Harper's Ferry
musket, altered over, and 1t would kick
worse than a mule. 1t kicked me on
the head, in the face, in the eye and
IN the shoulder, and all at n dis
charge. The last time 1 fred it 1T
kicked itself out Of my hands onto the
ground, and there it lay kicking when
the captain put his foot upon 1t and
made 1t stop. The right way to fight
with that gun was to send 1t to the
Johnnies, and there would have been
a succession of discouraged soldiers on
that side-if not dead ones. There was
one thing certain, with that gun to
carry any soldier would be ready to
sing:
Come, welcome death, thou end Of
kicking,
1 am ready and willing to 60"
My next gun-the mex day-was a

In chasing General Price we made a
march of one hundred and nine miles
in three days, with only nine large

march the boys beat the oldish men.

fourteen were there to stack arms at

years of age, and / was one of the last

After all our hard marching Price
was not there when we arriyed-he
had been gone six hours. We were six
days In marching back yer the same
ground.
We arrived at Shiloh in time for me
to be detailed to help bury the dead.
That is a duty In connection with army
work seldom described. The mind dis
likes to dwell upon 1t. The killing of
the man is an exciting work. There is
some excitement even in being In line
with shot and bullets-in seeing who
gets hit-in feeling that you are yet
whole-but there is no redeemipg fea-
ture Ia going out to the field OF the
dead and gathering the men like
sheaves in a harvest field and arrang-
ing them in a trench and covering them
with earth. There is no other form
Of death so sickening as that of a well
and hearty man killed by the accidents
Of battle.
Hour after hou we worked on at
burying the Shiloh dead. l wish l could
shut out the memory Of that labor
from my mental vision brewer.
At Harrington l was again detailed
to bury the dead, and there helped to
