that have already been published. It deals
largely with the Mexican land laws. A very
thoughtful paper on "Evolution Bounded by
Theology" is contributed by W. I). Le Seur,
B. A., and an illustrated article on "Primi

Harper i Maji:iitf for June is in every
way an unusually strong number. The lead
ing article, "The United States Navy," is
contributed by Rear-admiral Edward Simp
son, 1'. S. N., anl no one is more competent
than he to say precisely what our navy is
and what it ought to be. He shows how
slowly the first step from sailing to steam
ships was taken; how reluctantly, later on,
iron ships were substituted for wooden ones;
then with what difliculty wo recently
adopted the construction of steel cruisers;
and that we arc still waiting for the two final
achievements that will make our navy affec
tive the steel armor plating of our ships,
and the construction of heavy steel guns,
equal to those made abroad. The article is
profusely illustrated each da of vessels
being represented, including the recently
constructed "Dolphin," "Atlanta," and
"Chicago." The Fifth Paper of the series
tf "Great American Industries" treats of the
culture of the sugar cane, and of every phase
of sugar-making. The article is contributed
by It. II. ISowker, and is fully illustated.
James Lane Allen contributes au interesting

From Washington.
(from our II-pilsr Correspondent.)
Wasiiimiton, May 17, ISSC.
Congressmen express themselves ditler-
etitly as to the results of the fall elections.
Many of the old members have announced
their intention to retire, and many of the
new ones talk indifferently about coming
lack. A few of them say they would not
make an effort to return. They claim that
the position of a Representative is not profit
able, and that, for mere experience, a single
term is sufficient. A western member, who
will not be returned, said he fully appreci
ated the honor of being in Congress, but his
business at home had suffered so much by
this honor, that with all the fascination of
the beautiful city of Washington, he did not
enjoy living in his trunk.
On the other hand there are many mem
bers of the Forty. Ninth who desire above
cvecything else to bo members of the Fifti
eth Congress. These are now on the anxious
bench, nervously hoping to secure the re in
dorsemctit of their constituents. Several
members haW been made happy in this way
during the past few days.
All week long the House Judiciary Com
mittee has been listening to arguments for
and against additional legislation in t'tah.
The longest of these jdeas was that of the
distinguished lawyer, Mr. Jeff, (.'handler. Ho
had special indignation to bestow on those
people w ho go to L'tah, who do not live there,
jet stir up strife and inflame the country in
order to pun notoriety. Said he: "Are we
to be driven by a storm of prejudice? I'reju-
lico has datkened the history of this country
from the beginning."
Miss Kate Field, who sat by and heard all
that was said upon the subject, has mule
some caustic remarks in reply. "According
to this reasoning," sai 1 she, "because 1 do
not have my own throat cut, I must raise no
cry when my neighbor's throat is cut." She
says if this country is a nation, what con
cerns one portion, concerns all, and it is
about time for the people to realize that
when the Rocky Mountains take poison, the
Atlantic sea board muxt call in the doctors.
She also thinks that people living outside of
l'tah, who ask for legislation to do away
with treason and polygamy in that territory,
may be more unselfish iu their opposition to
to the Mormon church than the attorneys
paid to defend it.
A Congressman who was discussing the
labor troubles said: "I make it a business to
vote for every labor bill or resolution that
comes up. It makes no difference to me
what its merits are. 1 cannot afford to do
anything else." He added that large nuin
berof his constituents are members of labor
organisation, and if he took any other
course he would have to spend all of his
time in explanation that would not be satis
factory. He thinks the most exasperating
thing in our politics is the tendency to mis
recent motives and actions, and that the
only self protection is to be in opposition to
popular eiitimont as little a possible. He
acknowledged that it wa not a self respect
ing confession; "but," continued he, "you
can only protect youself from demagogues
by being a modified demagogue yourself."
Nothing resurrects like a pension bill. If
Congress were to pass a bill to pay an aidi
tiotiat eiiMuii to I lie soi vi
lutionary war there is very li'llo doi.bt but
that more "survivors" would turn up in a
couple of months than there were men in
the Continental uriny. If the bill should be
enlarged ho as to include those left over
from tho French and Indian war, it is not
entirely unfair to suppose that a goodly
number of these veterans of the last century
would come out of the past loaded down with
papers and petitions.
It would perhaps be going too far to say
that one-third of the immense draft which
is annually made on the publio treasury for
this purpose is paid out to claims fruduleiitly
bused, but that a great deal of money goes
in this way is beyond question.
Senator Vest, of Missuri, has been ex
pressing himself to the Senate in regard to
pensions. He thinks the anxiety of both
political parties and the cupidity of pension
claim agents are responsible for so much
pension legislation. He docs not believe it
is demanded by the volunteer soldiers of the
couutry. The astute and purchased intellect
of claim agents, cormorants and curbstone
lawyers in Washington was constantly con
triving new devices for increasing pensions
by which to fill their own pockets.
He animadverted with severity on the
nebulosity'' of the estimates made by ditler-
ent persons as to the amount that the gen
eral pension bill would take from the treas
ury. He asserted that the amount was be
yond the ken of mortal man.

Tli Present Situation of Our Navy.
Tin fcilliiwin? taken fr mi th Juri
U'lriirr is de-serving of a careful study just
at this time when the subject is under dis
cussion in Congress as to the advisability of
building, substai tially, a new navy for the
country.
With such a force a.s we possess it must
be evident that it is impossible to discharge
in nn efllcieut manner all the duties of a
uavv. Our work in foreign surveys is llm
Red to that of oue small vessel on the west
coast of rsortli America; our Ueep sen
soundings are few and far between, dotted
along the tracks pursued by our ships while
going to nnd returning irotn distant .sta
tions; our commerce is protected; but we
are unable to support any positive policy
that the government might decide to de
clare in references to, for example, the
Monroe doctorine. To say nothing of Kur
openti naval armaments, it is only necessary
to iMiint to some of the smaller powers in
1 . . i . , . i. :
our own tiemispiiere mat posesses suijis i
with which we have nothing tit to cope.
Our people cannot desire to assume a
position in the society of naval powers
without supporting the position with dig
nity; they cannot wish their navy to be
cited us a standard of inefficiency; they
cannot wish to force their representatives
(the officers of the navy) into a position of
humiliation and mortification such as im
posed by being called on to deprecate criti
cism by labored explanations. Better ab
olish the navy and lower our pretensions.
Hut the fact seems to be that the rapidity
of naval development has not been properly
appreciated, and it is alter a long Interval
of indifference that, attention being at last
centred on the subject, it is seen how rapid
its strides have been, and how utterly we
are distanced in the race. There is evi
dence now in the country of a growing de
sire to repair the effects of the past over
eight, and we see Congress moving in the
mutter. As all political parties now unite
in the necessity of the effort in this direct
ion, the hope is inspired that the subject is
t,, l.o ui luiriituil from those of a oartisan
character, ami that the rehabilitation of the
navy will be put on its proper level, ana
accepted as a national question in which
ull are alike interested.
Possessed us we are now of a navy such
as has been indicated, the change that is
about to l.e instituted involves a most vio

mensions. From the sailing ship with

the steamer with auxililiary sail power;
but we have no l ull pow ered steamers, with
or without sails. As long as It Is consider

now used, the space assigned to boilers anil

With the exeption of two vessels of the
Ad rt class built of iron, we have noth'n;
but wooden hulls. We have continued to
build in perishable material, requiring
large sums to be spent In repairs, and ign'ir

With the exception of a few Palllser con
verted ritles of in inch calibre, our urma
nienth consist of smooth-bore cast iron guns
which have composed our Imttties for
thirty vears. These are now being discard
ed, and their places to be tilled with mod
ein steel cannon.
Torpedoes, moveable torpedoes, of which
we know nothing practically, are to be
brought to the front, slid are to form part
of our equipment. Torpedo boats are to be
brought into use, and details inumerable
ate now to be studied and wmked out.
Conceive the:i a hi h powered steaner
with a minimum of canvas, built of steel,
armed w ith modern steel artillery nnd sec
ondary ba'tery of 1 lotchkiss guns, fitted for
launching moveable torpedoe, with pro
tetive deck over boilers and engines, divid
ed into many water tight compartments,
giving protection to buoyancy, and compare
such a ship with the type of the I'nited
States cruiser which we now possess, and
an idea may lie formed of the violence of
the transition through which we are to
pass. And there is nothing intermediate
to break the slid ienness of this charge;
there is no connecting link. The structure
of today Is placed in oirect contrast with
that of twenty live years sgo. This is the

The following appeared in the Chicago
Time of Thursday. It will be read with

tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for
the murder of Thomas Parks:
Quite a sensation was caused in this city
this afternoon by the kidnaping of little
Maud Weast, aged 4, the daughter of Peter
Weast, now a convict in the Joliet peniten
tiary. It seems that after Weast's convic
tion for the murder of Thomas Parks, at
Streator, be left his little daughter in
charge of Chaplain Walters, of the prison
of this place, who agreed to take good care
of the child until the father should be re
leased. Shortly after Weast's conviction
and transfer to prison ids wife moved to
Chicago, eutered a bagnio, and began a life
of ehame. In personal appearance she is
very attractive, and has been a reigning

demi-morue since sue joined mem. it is
definitely known that Mrs. Weast lias for
some time past tried in every way to get
possession of the child, and probably grow

Beware of Scrofula
Scrofula Is probably more general than any
other disease. It Is Insidious in character,
and manifests itself In running sores, pustular
eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged Joints,
abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood's Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving It pure, enriched, and healthy.
" I was severely afflicted with scrofula, and
over a year had two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparilla, and am
cured." C. E. Lovejot, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring and full. Hood's
Sarsaparilla cured him.
Salt Rheum
Is one of the most disagreeable diseases caused
by Impure blood. It is readily cured by Hood's
Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier.
William Spies, Elyria, O., suffered greatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by
handling tobacco. At times his hands would
crack open and bleed. Ho tried various prep
arations without aid; finally took Hood's Sar
saparilla, and now says: ' I am entirely well.'1
"My son had salt rheum on his hands and
on the calves of his legs. He tood Hood's
Sarsaparilla and Is entirely cured." J. B.
