THK

sleuth hounds of the Indianapolis police force have a new set of clues to work on when a man is reported minsing over there. They look for him in the drinking water furnished the citizens of the capital.

A VERY important political announcement was sent out from Springfield, Illinois, this week, to the effect that the Prohibition candidate for United States senator had withdrawn from the race. This mast lift an immense load off the minds of the Republican and Democratic candidates for that position.

theatrical season ended earlier than usual in New York this year, because the rage for bicycles has greatly interfered with the interest in indoor amusements. The amusement managers jump at the conclusion that theatricals are to be permanently damaged on account of the wheels. This seems to be snap judgment, however, for in the ides of December there will not be as much interest in bicycles as now seems universal.

seem to have a hard time in the

east in paying tribute to the memory of General Grant. The sculptor whose statute of General Grant, recently was unveiled in Brooklyn has filed a mechanic's lien against it, for the reason that he has not been paid the money agreed on as the price for his work. The judgment of the artist who did this is not. to be commended, when he could secure his money by a suit against those who are responsible for his work. The truth of Rip Van Winkle's philosophizing about, the forgetfulness of the public seems never to have been so strongly demonstrated as in the case of Grant, the greatest warrior of the age, and the idol of the masses of the people.

first returns from the election in Oregon last week seemed to indicate that the Populists had captured the two congressmen by small pluralities, but later returns show that the two Republicans were elected by pluralities reduced in the aggregate, for the two districts, from about 17,000 in 1894 to less than 500. The cause of it was that the Republicans tried to run their campaign on the same theories as those advocated by the Populists, and the people made up their minds that if the Populist ic theories were so good that they might as well vote for the party honest enough to advocate them rather than for one that took up such theories to gain a temporary political advantage. It served the leaders of the party right for their temporizing with the Populists jnst to hold their jobs.

area than Chicago, and her combined population may be more numerous, but she is not In it with the world's fair city in enterprise and growth. Some idea of the growth of Chicago may be gathered from figures by the official commissioner of buildings. In the first four months of the present calendar year that officer issued permits for the erection in Chicago of 2,587 new buildings, the bare street frontage of which, if placed contiguously in a straight line would reach eleven and three-quarter miles. The new buildings erected last year were 8,038 in number, with a frontage of 918,300 feet, or forty-one and three-eighth miles. That does not suggest hard times or general stagnation. The enterprise of the Western metropolis is irresistible, resting as it does on the unbounded faith of its citisens in it* future.

Tn« secretary of the state board of health, Dr, J. N. Hurty, has issued an order that the following rule of the board is to be rigidly enforced hereafter: "Spitting on sidewalks, floors of public buildings, in street cars, in railway couches and on railway platforms is prohibited. Any person, or persons, who shall wilfully and persistently violate this rule, shall be subjected «o the penalties* provided in Section No. 9 of an act establishing the state board of health. passed February t», 1891." The superintendents of some twenty-five railroads in the state have indorsed the order, «nd will attempt to luforce it. It is greatly to be feared, however, that such an order cannot be enforced. The class of men who befoul every public place with their expectorations cannot be cured by an order of health officer. That can be done only it a

pose of collecting and giving away rare and improved varieties. Since that date, with the aid of steadily increasing sums of money furnished by Congress annually, every seed that coald be found anywhere offering a reasonable prospect of usefulness In any part of the country has been purchased and liberally distributed. People all over the United States have already secured nearly all of the vegetable and field seeds, plants and trees that are adapted to their peculiar soils and climates. It goes without saying that the obtainable number of valuable and uncommon seeds is limited. Although a request is sent with each package for a report as to results, not one recipient in 1,000 makes any response.

Tins old, old story about the man who stole a horse and kept the fact from the knowledge of the public until he became a candidate for office is receiving a verification in Illinois, where the Republican candidate for governor is placed on the defensive because he killed a man in southern Illinois some thirty years ago, and although tried for his life was acquitted on the ground of self defense. He was convicted once for the crime, but seeured a new trial and was acquitted. He was a mere youth then, although he had been a gallant soldier in the war, and the killing occurred as a result of the lawless feeling that pervaded that part of Illinois at that time. Since then he has lived a blameless life, has been honored by the people of the county in which the crime was committed, by election to various public offices, including the senate of the state, has held responsible positions under the government, including that of sub-treasurer of the United States at Chicago, and is looked upon as one of the most reliable, responsible members of the party in the state. And yet on accoun&of this indiscretion and crime of his early manhood he is placed on the defensive in his campaign for the position to which he aspires.

THE

Frank Mayo, the delightful

Davy Crockett of days gone by, and who was tiie "Ptuld'nhend Wilson"' of Mark Twain's story, rather than a man acting it, died very suddenly on Monday on the train between Denver and Omaha. He was one of the few remaining actors of the old school, and achieved success without the aid of a brass band, without having his diamonds stolen, or being made a party to a nasty sensational suit in the courts. The stage was better for his having acted on it, and his death will be mourned by thousands who from having seen and admired him feel that they were in a measure his friends.

well authenticated stories that are told of the atrocities that are committed by the Spanish authorities in the prosecution of the war against the Cuban insurgents seem mild as compared with these told concerning the treatment accorded the prisoners captured in Cuba and transferred to the Spanish penal colonoies in A rica. A E ropean correspondent, speaking of the stories of the crimes in Cuba, says that "if reporters could penetrate into the Spanish penal settlements in Africa and publish an account of what is going on there, a wave of sympathy for theCuban insurgents would sweep over the world. But no stranger can enter them except in chains, und only rumors of the sufferings of the Cuban prisoners reach the outer world. These rumors come through Spanish channels, and are not likely tobe-un-duly favorable to the insurgent prisoners, but they tell of the constant xisi? of the lash, of semi-starvation, of foul, crowded prisons, and, in fact, of all the evils attendant upon unbridled tyranny. At Cadiz one may see the unfortunates as they arrive weekly from Cuba, negroes, mul&ttoes,. and pure-blooded Spaniards born on the island, all in a pitiable condition, telling of terrible ill-treatment on the voyage, a fit preparation for that which will follow. Many of them are destined to spend years aboard hulks, for the prisons at Ceuta are so fearfully overcrowded that an epidemic of disease has forced the government to action." The half will never be told of the Spanish treatment of prisoners, but what we hear is convincing that the United States government should interfere in the Quban struggle, for humanity's sake,, if for no other.

Tuesday the Republican conven­

tion will meet at St. Louis, three weeks later the Democratic convention will meet at Chicago, and then on the 27th of July the silver convention will assemble at St. Louis. The present outlook is that the platforrA of the Republicans will be similar to that adopted by the Republicans of this state, declaring for sound money and against the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. It is almost equally certain that the Democratic convention at Chicago will be controlled by the free silver people, and that a platform will be adopted declaring in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver regardless of any international agreement. The silver people at St. Louis will of course adopt a similar platform, and by the first of August the Issues will be known as between the great parties. For nearly four months we will hear the money question discussed as ftilly as the tariff has ever been, and an attempt to force the latter to the front as the only question of the campaign will not prove successful. It is likely that, sound money will triumph in the end, but there is no certainty that free silver will not create divisions in the two leading parties similar to those of 1876, when the greenback craze was at its height. If there should be such divisions on the Une of free silver that a president will not be chosen by the electoral college the election would be thrown into the House of Representatives, where it is morally certain that the Republicans would elect their nominee, for the presidency. There might be some question as to the position the representatives of the stiver states will take on the matter, but the Republicans are in full control of so many states that they would have no trouble in electing their candidate.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.

REC0KD OF CONGRESS

CauM of the

8mall

The session resulted in the introduction of a larger number of bills1 in, the house than during any similar period for a quarter of a century. The 'te^ial number of bills introduced during the' entire last congress was 8,987, of which4,405 were introduced during the first session, which corresponds to the session now drawing to a close, and inwhich latter the aggregate is swollen to 9,5O0. Of these 2,800 were favorably reported by the committees to which they were referred and placed on the calendar.

Notwithstanding that the session of next winter is limited to three months, scores of these bills are likely to be brought to the attention of the house. Many members will enjoy a degree of independence after the autumn elections which they have been denied during the present year, and their influence will be exerted to call up and pass measures now regarded as personally and politically "unsafe."

The Nicaragua canal bill is one of these measures. After many months of consideration in the committee it received a favorable report in the face of an absolute certainty that it would not be taken up during the present session. The bill to liquidate the indebtedness of the Pacific railways to the government is another measure of farreaching importance which is also upon the calendar with a favorable report, but which, for prudential reasons, will continue to slumber there. Others are the service pension bill, reported by the invalid pensions committee the Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma statehood bills, the Pacific cable bill and the joint resolution conferring the rank of lieutenant general upon Major General Miles.

The popular interest in the Cuban revolution was shown in the large number of resolutions—more than 50 in all— that wero introduced and referred to the committee on foreign affairs. After careful consideration a concurrent resolution was reported, for which was subsequently substituted in conference the senate resolution, expressing the sympathy of the United States with the insurgents, recognizing their belligerency and calling upon the president to use his good offices to secure the independence of the island. Being a concurrent and not a joint resolution, it did not call for the president's signature, and its only effect was to express the sentiment of the Amerioan people as reflected in the two houses of congress.

The results accomplished by the senate during the session are entirely out of proportion with the legislation that was introduced. Up to June 6 there had been introduced a total of 8,261 bills, more than were introduced during the whole of last congress. The same ratio of increase is found in the flood of memorials and petitions that has been laid before the senate.

Out of this array of proposed legislation but little lias been done^ The finance committee, to which were referred 105 different measures, has succeeded in getting through the senate but three of any importance that have become laws—the filled cheese bill,.the amendment to the administrative feature of the tariff act, permitting express companies to pay the duty on packages valued at not more than $500 and deliver them to the residences of the importers direct, and the bill to repeal the free alcohol clause of the tariff law.

The favorable report from thecoma mittee on privileges and elections for an amendment for the election of senators by popular vote became the text fox many speeches, but never got beyond that indefinite stage. The committee on territories reported favorably on the admission of New Mexico and Arizona, but no action has been taken.

The senate committee on pensions shows a better record for accomplished results. Senate pension bills aggregating 1,020 were referred to this committee. Similar bills aggregating 220 came over from the house. Two hundred and seventy senate pension bills were passed by the senate, of which the house passad bat 50.

On the other hand, the senate passed 110 of the house pension bills oat of a total of 220 passed by the house. Up to Jnne 8 the president had vetoed four of the senate pension bills and six of the boose bills. Oat of all this proposed leg islation bat 88 bills became laws, as follows: Senate bills, without the approval of the president, 11 senate bill% approved, 37 house bills, become huts without approval, 8 house bills approved, 87 total, 88.——New Toik JtarnaL

Bash of Bills In the Home—Measures,

After the Election.

The first session of the Fifty-fourth congress enjoys the distinction of being tiie shortest "long" session for a period of 80 years. A senate passively indifferent in some instances and in others actively hostile aud an executive not in sympathy with Republican party polioies are the reasons assigned by the bouse leaders for the paucity of national legislation.

Of the measures which have become laws the most important, from an international standpoint, was the bill creating the commission "to determine the true divisional line between Venezuela and British Guiana." Of scarcely less general interest were the bills prohibiting prize fighting in the territories, permitting appointments in the army and navy of former United States officers who served in the rebellion and making one year's residence in a territory a prerequisite to obtaining a divorce theret

The number of people in New York City men and women, who now, have their feet attended to by the chiropodist, as they do their hands by the manicure, has increased, greatly.
