friend Zwuiiy.ig is badly mistaken In Hilliiij;
lliewuiior editor of the Fkkk Thadi.k u

times removed from the old country. He-
moved, so long that he not only coii-ider:
it an honor great ami sublime to lie a citi

learned to respect the American Sabbath
and not to make the day hideous in noisi
of brass bauds, songs and revellings. I h
most sincerely love the honor of being an
American citizen, and I love to see our
children trrowiii'' tin temperate and an
honor alike to the fatherland and the laud
' of their adoption. The "insult" seems to
be nrinciimllv in callinc my brethren
Dutch instead of (Serinan. In deference
to my friend Zwun.ig I will henceforth
use the term German instead of Dutch,
but lie must not ask me to go back on my
terms for a saloon or s'aloonist. They, the
latter, are certaitilK hell mill. N. H. In

a mother, down the stairs and killed her
In Chicago two Germans over a jug of
beer quarrelled. One. man stepped out for
more, and when he returned he found his
friend in a loving embrace with the w ife
of German No. 2. lie, No. 2, took " an
ax and severed the head of No. 1 from the
b-xly and was hung for it, or ought to have
been, because all were drunk. Again, in
Pittsburg in about 1H-."5 a German named
Diehl got on a "high," and in his insanity
dashed out the brains of his infant child,
struck the other son with a hatchet and
killed him, and then brained his wife,
committing tripple murder, and although
lie was hanged for it that did not restore
the three precious lives that had been
sacrificed. This could be multiplied by
tn thousand and then the maximum of
the evil would not be reached.
It is the province of the Prohibition
Home Protection party to hcnelitmankind
and save the people, all German, Irish and
Americans, from w hatever land,agaiiist the
evils of intern iterance. And the only way
is to sweep breweries and saloons and
wane drug stores from the land. And we
are going to do it the same as abolition
ism drove slavery from the land. John
Wesley denounced African slavery as "tin
sum of all vlllianies." We denounce in
temperance or the selling and the licensing
of the sale of intoxicating liquors as worst
twice over than African slavery. And vi
do openly denounce those, especially in
we cnurciics. wno uniioKi saloons as
"fanatics, fools and dead beats, and hypo

Washington, March 17. There are now
on the calendar of the Committee of the
Whole House on the State of the Union
ninety bills, each Involving an appropriation
of money, exclusive of the general appro
priation hills, fourteen in number, and not
yet disposed of. On the House calendar
there are sixty-eight These do not Involve
appropriations, but are matter of gener.d
legislation. Some of them are of an Im
portant character. I'esides these there are
private bills to lie disiosod of or go over
to the end of Congress and then die, only to
come up in the Forty-ninth Congress. As
remarked by a member a few days

They will be numerous, and being questions

Miller, of Iowa, Is a candidate, and that

portions, and has the support of some in
fluential combinations in Iowa. The pur
pose is not to formally announce his can
didacy until after the delegates shall have
been selected, when it will appear that they
will favor tlie nomination of Judge Milier.
It has not been learned that any attempt
has so far been made to secure delegates in

like to talk about Mr. Conkliiig's differences
with Mr. Arthur, but 1 will say this: The
man Mr. Cotikling favors for the nomina
tion is General Grant. He thinks that
(Irani is the best and most available man in

A resolution olfcred In theiloiiso Monday
by Mr. Henry, (California), calling for the
appointment of a siss-lal committee to in
vestigate the contract with the Alaska Seal
Fur Company, was based upon a charge
that the Company secured the exclusive
privilege to catch seals paying therefor
but Sfio.uoO a year, for twen
ty years, while a responsible company in
California offered at the time t liu
lease was made 2T2,rU() for the same privi

ruption are also preferred. It is said the
profits of the company amount to from $3,
500,000 to $ 00O.OD0 a year, and that it costs
but $4 to lay down each scnl-skiu in Ixin
don, the average wholesale price for the
same being $.'!0. The company can catch
100,000 a year, and it Is alleged it frequent
ly doubles the catch. The resolution was
referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.

DOl'M) TO KM) HIS I. IFF.
MrKadden, One of the K press Itobhers,
Kt tirouud iIms Tiller Coiifse.
St. 1ii is, Mo., March 20. Tiller, the
express robber, could not stand the press
ure, and yesterday ho confessed and Impll
cated McFaddcn In the robbery. When tlie
latter heard of tlie action taken by bis
pal he made a desperate attempt to com
mit suicide, ami probably will not live.
Just before lieing transferred to jai
McFaddcn was given a good dinner. In
his cell in tho hold-over, realizing the des
perate position in which he was placed, lie
took a small, empty bottle that had coir
tallied medicine, and having Kwnded it into
fragments, he then swallowed the glass
with his food and waited for the end. On
the way into jail he fold Tiller what he had
done, but the express clerk would not be
lieve him. About four o'clock he was
taken ill, and the attention of the jail
guard was attracted to him. A physician
was summoned, ami emetics administered,
but the glass had passed from tho stomach
into the intestines, and could not be reached.
He is suffering intense agony, and physicians
pronounce Ins case almost hopeless. Three
thousand dollars in silver were recovered
yesterday in Kansas City, where they
had been slnped by liller tlie day
after tlie robbery. It was found in
the United Stales Express ollice, marked
"To be held until called for." The Chief-
of-I'olice said that SH'2,000 was still missing,
and that it was controlled by Tiller. Tho
latter says that McFadden went from here
to Chicago with tho proceeds of the robbery
two days after it was committed.
MANY ACRES UNDER WATER.
A California I.evee Itrenks, Destroying;
Haifa Million Hollars' Wort li of Wheat.
Sax FttANf isr o, Cal., March 20. A
break in the levee at (Cohorts Island, near
Stockton, Tuesday night, destroyed 27,000
acres of wheat, valued at $500,000. The
broken levee was one of the largest on the
island, being one hundred feet w ide at the
base, forty at the top, and 'ten feet high.
Heforo the break occurred the middle
section of the levee was cut in tlie hope of
relieving the cross-levee, but the w.iter
didn't run off fast enough to take off the
pressure. As the sudden heavy rush of
water swept over the iftlanu on Its way
toward the lower section, the immense
fields of tall grain disappeared from sight,
and tlie whole was transformed Into one
great lake. The inhabitants quickly hud
dled together what they could carry off in
wagons, seeking refuge on the lower sec
tion. Arrangements will be made to take
them ashore should the lower levee give
way. In the meantime every effort will be
made to strengthen it. Horses and cattle
stampeded in wild fright, breaking across
toward the dry ground of the lower portion.
If the lower levee breaks the loss will bo
fully $1,000,000.
