sembled ia j.iint eanreation to
count the electoral votes, ly thr
negro member of the House from
that Slate. Jut as soon as the
intention to make this objection
was known, the democrats in Con
gress infjrmed the republicans that
if the objection was made and sus
tained by either branch of Congress
they might as well abandon all
idea of inaugurating McKinley, and
that the count of the electoral votes
would not be allowed to proceed.
As soon as the republican leaders
ascertained that the democrat
were in dead earnest thry repudiat
ed the" K'hrme, and put ail the
responsibility upon "that fool
nigger," who was made to ai a uuce
that he had changed his mind about
objecting to the counting of the vote
ofS. C. Congress counted the votes
all right aud there was no trouble,
but had not the democrats been
prompt in showing their resent
ment the vote of S. C. would have
been protested and thrown out
not to ielp McKinley, but as the
Srst step towards turning the State
over to the negroes aud others
who thrived under the notorious
Chamberlain-Moses regime.
An unexpected opposition to the
monetary conference bill has sprung
up in the House, under the loader
hip of Representatives Hill, of
Conn., and Brewster, of N. Y.,
both of whom are uncompromising
republicans, and supporters of the
single gold standard idea, and both
of whom have publicly stated their
belief that the bill is tho result of a
scheme concocted bySenatorChand
icr and other anti-McKinley re
publicans to get McKinley in
trouble. Whether the opposition
proves serious will depend alto
gether upon whether Speaker Ileed
withes the bill to pass, and the in
dications are that he does.
Secretary Herbert's idea of fixing
the limit of the price to be paid by
the government for armor plate at
f -100 a ton has been adopted by the
Senate Naval Committee, and a
clause to that effect will be added
to the Naval Appropriation bill by
the Senate. It is probable also
the committee has recommended
it that the Secretary of the Navy
will be authorised to call any bluff
that Carnegie and the Bethlehem
Steel Co. may attempt to put up by
refusing to make a contract to
furnish the armor plate at the price
named, by establishing a govern
ment plant for the making ot
armor plate.
President Cleveland ought to be
getting used to having his vetoes
overruled by Congress by this time.
The bill making changes in the
Eastern Judicial district of Texas,
which had the support of the entire
Texas delegation in Congress, is
now a law notwithstanding a veto,
and the House this week passed
two private pension bills over
vetoes. It is not surprising that
Mr. Cleveland should have remark
ed that he had no influence with
Congress.
A delegation of Michigan lumber
men who think their interests will
best be "protected" by not increas
ing the duty on white pine lumber
are in Washington to protest
against the increase which the re
publicans of the Ways and Means
Committee have decided to make.
Tbese gentlemen do net hesitate to
state their reasons for opposing nn
increase of duty on white pine
lumber. They own extensive
slumping privileges in Canada and
fear that if the duty is increased, in
addition to their having to pay the
duty, the Canadians may as a re
taliation for the increase of duty
impose a crown tax on 6tumpg
privileges. Another proof that th
whole principle of "protection" is
based upon individual self-interest
without regard to general giod,
The latest estimate is that lb
number of gold democratic post
masters, whose nominations will
be left unacted upon by the Senate
will exceed 200. Some ef these
were recess appointments and are
now filling the offices to which they
were nominated, but they will have
to step out aa soon as McKinley

InterWin Ten Picture of Life
in the Northwest.
PiiUre to y;urelf a w;U waste
of snow, wir.ii beaten anJ bliziar
farrowed until the vast expanse
resembles a billowy w bite sea. The
'"rigid air, blowing half a gale, if
filled with needle-like snow aud
the ice crystals which p'.in the
Srbh Lke the bites of poism-us in
8ect!, and sift through the finest
crevics. The sun, low down in
the southern horizon, lu..ks like a
frozen globe, with halves, crescent?
and bright prismatic bars encircling
it.
Great herdes of range cattle,
which rove at will and thrive on
the nourishing grasses indigenous
to the noithern slope, wsnder aim
lessly here and there, or more
frequently drift with the wind in
vain attempts to find food and shel
ter; moaning in distress from cold
and hunger, their noses hung with
bloody icicles, their legs galled and
bleeding from breaking the hard
snow crut as they travel they ap
peal ta the hardest hsart for pity.
It is sure death for human beings
to be caught out in one of these
bliziards, with the temperature
down to 30 or 50 degrees below zero
unless rescue is speedy. Yet, such
conditions frequently exist in thij
latitude, as they did for fifteen
days in November, 1&90, when it
seemed at if the elements had con
spired to bring about another ice
age, and annihilate every living
thing.
Would the "ebinook" never
come? The wind veered and backed,
now howling as if in derision, and
anon becoming calm, as if in con
templation of the desolation on the
face of nature, while the poor dumb
animals continued their ceaetleee
tramp crying with starvation and
pain. At last, on December 1, about
the hour of sunset, there was a
change which experienced plains
men interpreted as favorable to the
coraingofthe warm southwest wind.
At sunset the temperature was only
13 degrees, the air scarcely in
rao'ion, but occasionally seemed to
descend from overhead. Over the
mountains in the southwest hung a
great bank of black clouds, dark
and awesome, whose wide expanse
was unbroken by any line of light;
only at the upper edge the curled
and serrated cloud, blown into
tatters by wind, was seen to be the
advance courier of the long-prayed
tor "clunooH." ilow eagerly we
watched its approach. How we
strained our hearing for the first
welcome sight of the gentle breath!
But it was not until 11:35 p. m. that
the first influence was felt. First,
a puff of heat. Summer-like in
cotnpai iion to n hat had existed for
two weeks, and we run to our in
strument shelter to observe the
temperature. Up goes the tempcra-i
ture, 34 degrees in seven minutes.
Now the wind has come with a
twenty five mile velocity. Now
the cattle stop traveling, and with
muzzles turned towards the wind,
low with satisfaction. Weary with
two weeks' standing on their feet
they lie down on the snow, tor they
know that their salvation has come;
that now their bodies will not
freeze to the ground.
The wind increases in strength
and warmth; it blows now in one
steady roar; the temperature has
risen to 38 degrees, the great ex
panseofsnow, 30 inches deep oa
the level, is becoming damp and
honeycombed by the hot wind,
and we retire satisfied that the
"ebinook" is a genuine and lasting
one.
Twelve hours afterwards there
are bare, brown hills everywhere;
the plains are covered with floods
of water. In a few days the wind
will evaporate the moisture and
the roads will be dry and hard.
Were it not for the "chinook"
winds the northern slope country
would not bq habitable, nor could
domestic animals survive the
winter. A. B. Coe inUoited States

Changing Pennsylvania's Capital,
With the r cent destruction by
fire of Pennsylvania's State build
ings at narrisourg ua uku
stronger sentiment apparently than
ever to mve the seat of the govern
ment to Philadelphia; and a bil,
has been introduced in the As-
sernbly to give effect to that pur
pose.
The location of the government
at a place like Harrisburg no doubt
bad ground to stand upon in days
gone by, before the State was cross
ed and recrossed by railways. Geo
graphically it was a central point;
and ia ante-railroad times it wat
more easily acceisible from the
different pti of the State then a j
place iik rhi'.adelphia, aituaud ti
tan out-of-the-way orner, wa.
! Bat, aioce the intrjJjcioa oi
railroads, Philadelphia has beer
the natural capital of the State; ar.d
the reasons which weuld substitutt
a splendid city like the City oi
Brotherly Love aa the seat of the
State government forn antiquated
and objure village Lke Harrisburg
ire overwhelming. Philadelphia
can now be reached from almost alt
points in the State more quickl
than Harrisburg can. It is a great
ity, with hotel accommodations
equal to th ise of any of the other
large cities of the world, and a ith
all these civilizing adjuncts of ad
vanced social life which interest
and improve visitors as well a.
residents. In Philadelphia the
sessions of the Legislature wocl i
have an attention from the people
that they never have bad and never
could have in a spot like Harris
bur?; and nothing holds legislators
so well np to the mark as public
attention tocused on their work at
close range. -
Lieut. Gov. Lyon, whose home
is at Pittsburg at the other side ol
the Slate from Philadelphia, would
like to see the capital changed to
Philadelphia. He says:
"Philadelphia has a fully equip
ped, pid and thoroughly reliable
tire department, which Harrisburg
has not Philadelphia is also more
accessible'.. One can leave Pitts
burg at night, lake a sleeper, and
pet up in tim for breakfast at
Philadelphia. The plan of keeping
the capital at Harrisburg because it
is nearly the centre of the State,
geographically speaking, is purely
sentimental, and should not be
considered for a moment under
present conditions.
"The people of Philadelphia
would do handsomely by the State
in furnishing ground and funds
for the construction of building I
have no doubt that Philadelphia
would be satisfied to give the State
from twenty to thirty acres for the
State building It would not be
i.rpri-ing, either, if the Phila
delphia citizens and councils should
propose to gi ve the State $1,000,000
for the work of construction.
"It is ridiculous to ta k of re
modeling and reconstructing the
old building I am also opposed
' a cheap liffiir. Let us have a
fireproof building of the finest ma
terials, that will stand a century, if
we have anything at all."
The chances are, therefore, that
the L'gislature of Pennsylvania
will pass the bill to submit to the
people at an early election the
question of changing the seat of
the State government as indicated;
and, the law p.issed, there is very
little doubt hut that the people
would readily rutify the prcpo.-ed
change
"Albert Koss" the WcII-Khowu
Author, Insane.
Linn Boyd Porter, the famous
"Alberl Ross," whose books have
attained a greater sale in this coun
try than those of any other author
in the world, is insane. He has
been removed to a private asylum.
His physician is trying to have the
i-t ry suppressed on the grounds
that if Mr. Porter should see the
story in print that the shock would
pn.bably kill him. The strange
nconsisiency oi air. rorter e in
sanity is bis hallucination that he
is financially embarrassed and
practically on the road to the poor
house, when, as a matter of fact,
he is one of the wealthiest authors
in America. Every cent of his
money he has made himself, the
foundation of the fortune coming
from the proceeds of the sale of
his books and the remainder from
his successful manipulation of this
money in his extensive real estate
transactions. Mr. Porter maintains
a magnificent estate in Cambridge,
where his family, including two
beautiful daughters, are leaders in
society in the Uiuversiry City. In
his stables Mr. Porter has some of
ihe finest blooded horees in this
section of the city. Mr. Porter's
health has not been good lately.
;ind he was much upset from .the
published rumor of his death. The
members of the family refuse to
talk for publication. His strange
hallucination had taken sueh ahold
upon him that he Bold some valu
able horses for a mere song, and
ittempted to sacrifice other proper-
ty at ruinous prices. Mr. rorter
was, not many years ago, a com
liositor on a Boston daily, when his
famous book, "Thou Shalt Not,"
brought him notoriety and sudden
iffiuence.

and it liable information as to whai
is being done along educational

fanJs of which he has the manage

Raleigh, N. C, the other day, and
in his address to tbeTar- Heel soIods
look them to taek on the average
length of their public school term,
which is only two months. He very
correctly told tbem that no child
could learn or teacher instruct in
that short time, and madd a very
urgent appeal for a larger appropri
ation to tbe public school fund,
longer tenns and better teachers
During his rpeech Dr. Curry
beard a man in the audience say to
another: "We are all in favor of
education, but we are too poor to
make better schools," and turning
upt n Lim the apcuker said:
" In the name of God (and I say
it reverently), you are too poor not
to educate. I would like to burn
that into your consciences. If you
do not rducate you will remain
poor until Gabriel's horn blows "
Dr. Curry told his hearers that
he was no politician, and would
express no opinion on the great
questions that have divided parties,
but said he:
"Moral character is above all of
the standards of gold and silver.
While you are debating the ratio
between gold and silver, I want you
to consider the ratio between edu
cation and illiteracy."
He declared that no man ought
to be allowed to put a ballot in a
box who could not read said ballot
and who did not understand what
he was voting for. lie commended
very highly the constitution of those
States wherein the educational test
is required, pointing out that in

From the fact thai certain county
papers are opposing the Loud bill.
fir restricting and preventing the
abuses of the second class mail
matter carriage, we judge that there
is some misunderstanding of the
puipose and provisions of the said
bill. It does not aim at or affect
newspapers at all. In the way of
correcting such misapprehension,
and of removing opposition to what
we deem a most meritorious meas
ure, the following extracts from the
report of the postmaster general
are published:
"Of the 3-18,988.648 pounds of
second-class matter handled during
the year 52,318.318 pounds were
"county" lree matter that is.
"newspapers, onp copy to each sut
scriber in the county where same
are printed in whole or in part,
and published" -which is carried
free in the mails. This grant ot
free transmission is of longstadingu
and rests on grounds of public
policy which I have no disposition
lo question. So, likewise, the
granting of nominal and losing
rates for the transmission through
the mails of legitimate newspapers
and periodicals may be assumed to
be a deliberate policy of congress
in view of the legislation of 1874,
1879 and 1885, though it is doubt
ful if congress anticipated the im
mense loal involved in the grant of
the 1 cent a pound late in 1885
But the virtual concession of t ie
franking privilege to publishers if
serial libraries, of sample editions
for advertising purposes, to news
agents for the return of unsold peri
odicals, to fraternal societies for
circulating publications of a mere
advertising character, to 'house
organs'and other advertising sheets,
to publishers acting as agents ol
advertisers or purchasers in send
ing to addresses furnished by the
latter, and to similar private enter
prises, can be defended on n
ground of public policy, and is
nothing short of a perversion lo
private interests of a public service,
supported by its legitimate patrons,
and, 8o far as its deficits are con
cerned, by burdens on the general
taxpayers."

Rev. Russell H. Conwell, who
recently returned from Cuba, asked
a boatmau in Havana if be thought
the rebels would win. "I canuot
say," replied the man, "bul I know
that people about here hope that
they will. But you see that for so
many years no native Cuban has
been allowed to carry firearms that
there are no guns here. We can't
get hold of them." A loyalPpaniart',
an old retired lawyer, did not see
what the United States wanted of
Cuba when they refused Hawaii,
and added that the whole adminis
tration of Cuba neded reform.
Continuing he said: "I should say
that w e wanted a limited monarchy
ot our own, under the care of
Spain. Every educated man and
every unedtcatcd man worth not
les than $500 ought to vote, and
no man should hold office, except
the Governor General, who has not
made Cuba his permanent home."
Rev. Conwell adds: "I found that
the insurgents have adopted a
system of signals as complete lis
a telegraph, and, by means of fires
as beacons on the mountain tops,
keep each other informed of Wry
ler's whereabouts day by day.
There are some indications that
a row is brewing in the Populist
camp which will result in a split in
that party. Washburn, who is the
leader of ihe Populists in the East

he is pleased to term an informal
and unofficial conference at Mem
phis on the 22nd, at which rceo.
lutions will probably be adopted
recommending that the Populist
party sever tho alliance with the
free silver Democrats and lie
publicans and go it alone for the
next four years on its own issues
Secretary Edgerton of the National
Populist committee, SenatotlJutler
and other leaders of the party in
the South and West are bitterly
opposed to Washburn's plan and
there will be two conferences which
in the end will result in a tug of
war between the two wings, and a
vast amount of discord and division.
The extreme or middle-of-the-road
element will go with Washburn.
while the more conservative Popu
lists will follow the lead of such
men as Allen, Butler and Edgerton.
