John Dwight, republican whip Of the
house was on his way from a wobbly
district in New York of which he was a
resident TO Washington for the opening of
congress, In the smoking compartment
in the train he met a group of Washington
correspondents. After mournfully relating
the slaughter among the regulars at the
recent election the correspondents turned
their attention TO the success Of the in
surgents.
you newspaper men, said Mr.. Dwight
are doing terrible injustice to one in
surgent in the house l refer to Miles
PoindeXter who has just been elected
United States senator in Washington on an
insurgent platform.
"Poindexter has been accused Of being an
extreme radical; 1 have even heard IL
charged that he was a Tennessee democrat
before he went TO Washington and dis
covered that Tennessee democracy was
nothing more than northwestern republican
insurgency. democrat has no chance
out In the country which Poindexter
adopted, so he became an insurgent re-
publican and only changed the name Of
the party, retaining his principles.
ITO get back 20 the injustice you fellows
do Poindexter. He has been accused Of
voting against the republican regulars on
all occasions. l protest against such a
statement 1t is not true. He has voted
with the republicans. ] know because /
heard him and the record will bear me out
when l say that he voted with us just
once. He voted on that one occasion to
adjourn"

The officials Of the government who pur-
sue law breaking trusts say that the
greatest curative agency is publicity. As
soon as the word is sent broadcast that a
certain trust is violating the statutes, 1t
mends its ways and scatters off to safety.
Commissioner Of Corporations Smith has
had some funny experience with quick
reforms following publicity.
we reported on a system of railway
rebates several years ago." he said.
That system covered a large part of the
country and inside OF three months after
our report the railroad had Cancelled all
the rebates or discriminatory rates that
had been criticised as illegal in that re-
port. But the publicity did the business,
because the whole rebate system in Oil,
inside OF three months was stopped.
we made a report on the cotton ex-
change, and inside of a year the New
Orleans cotton exchange changed it's sys-
TEN and practically adopted the reforms
which we recommended and has been
working under them with great satisfac-
ton since then. We also published a re-
port on the tobacco combinations from
small tobacco manufacturers that they
feel as though they have gotten out Of
prison. as they say. Some of them de-
clare II it had not been for the exposure
OF oppressive methods due TO that pub
liclty, they could not have continued in
business.
The independent oil men have said the
same things. We make reports that cover
from 800 to 800 or coo printed pages but
the summary Of each report when It is
given out must in every case go into two
or two and a half columns of a newspaper
and be put in such shape that the paper
will print II, We recognize the fact that
there is just one real means of publicity,
and that is the newspapers, and we adapt
our summaries for that purpose"

Our First Steam Warship.

The Fulton, which at the time of her construction in the early thirties was classed as "steam battery.' was the first United States warship that was propelled by steam. She vas built un- der the superinterdenee of Con:nodcre Matthew Galbraith Perry and at the time of her completion in 1s37 was re garded as one of the worlds wonders by way of naval architecture and pow CT at sea. The Fulton was the cause of no little speculation on the part of European powers. for at that time she was looked upon by other nations as all but invincible. When this won- der of the sea was put in commission Commodore Perry, then holding the rank of commander, was put in com- mand of her. and he presently came to be called the father of the steam navy" The Fulton was built pri- marily for defense of New York har- bor, but she served as well to demon strate the practical utility of steam power for warships.-New York Times.

Tuht Collars.

Writing in the Hospital, London, pr. Walford warns everybody against tight collars. He considers 1t remarkable that no one seems to have noticed or, at any rate, to have laid great stress on the fact that such slight obstacles to the free circulation of the blood through the vessels of the brain may adversely influence the health of those who are in the habit of wearing tight ly fitting neckcloths. "The fact ap- pears to be well known to veterinary surgeons, who tell us that neck con striction through badly fitting harness is a causatiye factor in 'staggers' in horses" says the writer. It seems to be equally well known that dogs suf- fer great deal through having to wear tightly fitting collars. Is it too much. then, Dr. Walford asks, to argue that those of US who wear our own collars too tightly buttoned may find in that practice some explanation of symptoms ascribed to other causes?

Insane Enalish Monarohs.

George III. is the only British mon- nrcli who ia modern times has been placed under restraint and deprived of his authority because of insanity, though similar measures were at one time contemplated with regard to his son, George ", the monarch who has been described as "a bad son, a bad husband, bad father, bad sub ject, bad monarch and a bad friend" and whose conduct while on the throne was characterized by an eccentricity which bordered on lunacy.
 The insanity of George III. was real ly brought about by the dangerous illness of his youngest and favorite child. Princess Amelia. The unlikeli- hood of her recovery preyed upon him and hastened the attack of mental de rangement which incapacitated him from rcigning, although he had pre- yiously suffered from this malady. He died hopelessly insane at Windsor after losing his sight as well as his senses.- Pearson's.

Silent Lawyers.

It is almost a maxim nowadays that a lawyers real importance at the bar is in inverse ratio to his prominence in the papers. The truth is that law yers of great importance seldom now adays appear in court In the old days the great lawyer was tile eloquent lawyer; today the great lawer is the silent one. Then bar regulations were made literally at the bar Today they are made in the offices of the sky scrapers neighboring on Wall street. In England a visit any day to the law courts will be repaid by the sight of some famous K. C. assisting the court In a dramatization of tie trial chapter from Alice Tn Wonderland" But you might prowl for month within the precincts of the New York courthouse without encountering a lawyer whose name would signify anything remark able to the historian of the New York bar.-American Magazine.

General Bates unliahted Cigars.

General William B. Bate of Tennes- see after distinguished service in be- half of the south was governor and then United States senator. His brav- cry in battle was nttested by a dozen wounds. and in single engagement three horses were shot from under him.
 Tt was a habit of the old warrior said a man who knew him well, ito continually carry an unlighted cigar in his mouth. but few of those who noticed it ever knew the reason Of his failure to smoke the weed. At the battle of Shiloh he and q brother were standing side by side when the broth CT asked General Bate for a light. as he had a cigar, but no match. The general lit match and handed it to his kinsman, who had scarcely applied it to the tobacco ere a cannon bail came hurtling through the air and severed the smokers head from lis body. The terrible tragedy of Shiloh's bloody field was why in all the years that followed the surviving brother was never known to light a cigar.'

Curious Justice.

A Paris contemporary gives us a glimpse of the administration of jus tice among the natives in the Lower Niger territory, which for its efficacy nigh be compared with Swifts ac- count of the means adopted by judi cial authorities in Laputa, We believe, to discover conspirators. If a native is accused of theft the heads of the village make decoction of herbs and put into the essence about grain of ground pepper. The liquid is then lightly applied to the eyelid. If the suspect weeps he is considered guilty. But the murder test is an improve inent upon that of theft. The wise man" of the district draws vessel of water, into which he puts some poison. Then he takes a cows tail and '.as- perges' the eyes of the supposed as- sassin. If the man becomes blind he is pronounced murderer.

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.
Workers Pay In England When Board
 Was Shilling q Week.


 There was q time when q workman in England received s cents day as an ordinary Wage, when skilled ar tisans commanded 12 cents day and when women worked in the field at such tasks as reapng straw, hoein@. planting beans and washing sheep for cents a day, and wise student of the subject has expressed the opin- ion that the British workman of that day was better off than he has ever been since then.
 That sounds paradoxieal. But the explanation is this: The workman who sold his services for 8 cents a day could buy good beef or mutton for ll3 cents pound. Wheat cost him on the average only IS cents a bushel. He could get board for 1o to 1G cents q week. The pay he would receive for fifteen weeks services would suffice to purchase a supply of suitable food stuffs, according to the standard of his time Consisting of wheat, malt and oatmeaD, to maintain his family for an entire year.
 Under these circumstances 8 cents q day yZinerPaScd To 12 cents ill harvest tlihe-,WaS | fair wage, and times were good' for the average workman -McClure's Magazine.
