THE IN CONGRESS. Senator Hill Reconsiders It Soema. fiomo Saving In Printing Patent Office Gazorte. THE OOXEI RATIONS RUNNING LOW. The Publio Printer Now In Office. COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. From our Hcgular Correspondent. Washington May 14, 1894. The more the Democrats study the proposd amendments to the Wilson tariff bill, and the causes whiched up to their adoption by the subcom mittee, thj less they object to them as a whole. When the amendments were first made public there were some extremely vigorous protests from Democratic Senators and Rep resentatives, and for a time it looked as though the conscssions made in those amendments might prove to be but another case of "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire," but to day the feeling is decidedly better, and the impression general, regardless of politics, that the proposed amend merits will all be adopted and the bill passed by Democratic votes. Even Senator Hill is expected to vote for the bill, although it is understood that he has about made up his mind to first test the sense of the Senate re garding the income-tax, by moving that the bill be recommitted to the Finance Committee with instructions to report it without the income-tax. He declined positively but politely to make any additional statement con cerning his intentions, since the amendments were made public. There are few Democrats, however, who be lieve that his vote will be cast against the bill when it is put upon its pas sage. President Cleveland, all the mem bers of the cabinet in the city, most of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and a large number of prominent of ficio's, members of Congress and ci'ivns of Vashit"on went to FreJcr. icksburg, Va., yesterday to see and take part in the ceremonies attendant ir(on the unveiling of the monument to Mary Washington in that city. To-day those who had not before been familiar with it are loud in their praise of "old Virginia hospitality," known and appreciated throughout the civil ized world as unsurpassable. Secretary Hoke Smith made no mistake when he determined, about a year ago, that the contract for print ing the Patent Office Gazette should be open to competitive bidding every year. Last year the saving was com paratively small about $10,000 and the scandal involving the name of Hon. Josiah Quincy with the successful bidders, the National Li thographing Co., followed ; but this year's bidding enables the Secretary to have the work done by the same old concern that did it for years and at a price nearly $60,000 below what was paid for it for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893. Coxeyism is tottering or. its last legs in Washington. Coxey, Browne and Jones counted upon being ac quitted when they were tried for violating the laws for the protection ot the Capitol building and grounds, and they have not yet recovered from the shock of being convicted. They have applied for a new trial, but then there isn't the slightest probability that they will get it. They may be fined or imprisoned, or both, in the discretion of the judge. The com missary department at the Coxcyite camp has begun to get low and the men are now only given two meals a day, and desertions are getting quite frequent. The health officer of the District of Columbia is also after them with a sharp stick, having re ported their camp to be a menace to the entire city, and given them a peremptory notice to put it in a healthy condition or get out. Force has been added to this recommend ation by information stating that two deserters from Coxey's army were down with small pox at Philadelphia. Coxey is trying to curry favor by declaring that he has no connection with the various bodies of men headed for Washington and styling themselves Coxeyites. The House Committee on Labor gave him ten minutes to make an ass of himself, and he did it in half that time. Public Printer Benedict took charge of the Government Printing Office this week, and he is already up to his neck in the work of reducing the force which has been kept far too large by Mr. Palmer, because he did not care to discharge any of the Republicans and was compelled by democratic Senators and Representa tives to put on a few Democrats. Mr. Benedict says: "The condition of the force is without precedent. There are 359 I persons on the rolls, and when 1 stepped out before I left 2,132. We cannot accommodate so manv 1 there is no place for them to work. Em ployes are now working only from one-half to one-third lime ; daily furloughs beinz a recular thing. This Dice has got to be reduced down to a working basis, and I shall do it as soon as possible." The Republicans in the office are all looking fur their discharge, and I violate no confidence 111 saying that the most of them will gtt what they are lookiug for. They certainly have no right to omplain. It is more than fourteen iromh.i since fhe Democratic administration came into power. COL. BRECKINRIDGE AMONG HIS CONSTITUENTS. Colonel Itrctkinndge began his speech by describing his eariy home and life, his service in the Southern army, and his career as editor, lawyer and statesman at the wai's close. Then ne spoKe 01 hw election to the House to succeed Captain Blackburn and said that he was not a seeker after office. He rapidly sketched the events lead ing up to the nomination cf Hancock and hisdeleat. He touched on th taxation and the tanlT bills and paid his respects to President Cleveland's Executive of the MONil IN THE DUMP. career as Chief United Staics. Referring to his trial in Washington, he said : ' It is charged that the re velations concerning my private life have i-hown that I am not fit to be a Representative ( that renders it the duty of the district to set me aside ; that a re election would be looked up on as a vindication ; ' that a vote for me is a vote of approval, and if not of approval of condonation. If this were so, my fellow citizens, I would not stand for re election j I would not ac cept your votes I would not live in your midst. Of what I have been guilty I have made public acknowledgment under oath in the sight of God, of the Court and ol the country. As to the numberless charges made by those who have conspired to destroy me, I enter my indignant protest j against the malice which has coined, the men dacity which has fabricated and the enmity that has uttered the numberless lies against me, in the presence of you, my friends and constituents, with all the memories that cluster about me and surge upon me as I speak to day, t protest in the name of God and of honor. NO DEFENSE TO MAKE. " But I do not wish this district to conceive that I have any defense to make for what I have done and of which I have been suiltv. Entancled by weakness, by passion, by sir, in coils which it was almost impossible to break, I did everything that was within my power to prevent a public scandal, except the one thing which for no moment ever entered my mind. Your re election of me can neither take from nor add to the punishment I have suffered. It has not been hypoc risy that my life has not been consist ently wrong ; I knew the secrets j I tried to atone for it in ways that it is not becoming in me to more than al lude. How many kind words did this atonement produce to others ; how much of self control and how much of self sacrifice j how much of earnest ntsi and labor in aid of good things to good causes ? When I came to make a public utterance under any circum stances to any audience how cautious was 1 that no word ot mine might tempt others to be guilty as I was guilty. " row that exposure lias come there is an element of gladness in it. I care not now what letters come in my mail ; I care not now for the closet door to be opened ; there is no skeleton there, and I can go into the clear sunlight out of mystery and look up through the blue skies into the upper world with the feeling that there is no cloud there. I am not afraid that from the horizon will suddenly come a clap of thunder and a Hash of lightning that will destroy me and mine. That is of the past. I will wear with me the scars, but I will not longer carry the dread. I will come out of that storm, however long it may last, in some res pects conqueror. AN ELOQUENT APPEAL. " The extent of my guilt was truth fully confessed by me to us utmost boundaries, without justification or palliation. To that extent I was guilty ; beyond that I was innocent. hat ever charge of any kind made against me by any person not confessed in that solemn testimony, for the truth of which I appealed to God, is false. I desire this acknowledgment and denial to be fully understood, that there may be no misunderstanding here after. In your presence to-day, and in the nresence of the district, I repeat that for that sin of which I was guilty I have no justification ; no palliation, and I ask no condonation. ' If someone in your midst can bet ter do the work you want done as your Representative, choose him ; I shall submit ; someone whose life has been stainless, whose morals your young men can imitate with profit : whose dajs have been pure and whose nights have been sinless j whose ability is a mole, whose experience is wide. For a hundred years this district has been represented by men. They have not always been sinless men, and whether vnu re elect or reject me, hereafter when some one comes to write its his tory, whatever blame may attach to ine. he will write of me that, even with that blame, he loveu tne poor, ne rou ed for his fellow men, he labored far good causes, and as this historian tnmo nv.T the nitres of tho record in uri,w-h mv utterances are contained h will lise from them with the belief that I was loyal to my principles, faithful to truth, devoted to you." Philt-Times. ; If ever a-man feels like " a worm of the dyst," it is when lie suffeis from that tired feeling. Ayet's Sarsaparilla removes this discouraging physical condition and imparls tl.c thrill of new life and energy to every nerve, tissue, masde, and fibre of the who'e body.. A score ol people laboring under the delusion that fortunes in c ildcash could be found in a dump oil Duval street, near Green, Gei uiantown, could be seen recently digng up the refuse widi sticks and bats. Their belief that money cnul 1 be found in the bank was prompted by the fact that six year old Tillie Hill one Friday evening found a pocket book containing $400. The little girl was digging in the bank the same as many others of her age had been every time a fresh cart load went over the dump, in expecta tion that she woulJ find, not money, but a toy of some kind. Tillie did not realize the importance ol her find, but thinking it was of more than ordinary import hurried home and gave it to her mother. Mrs. Hill is a poor woman, and .the money would have proven a godsend, but she concluded that it was not legally her property and she turned it over to Lieutenant Buckanan. The police were unable to find any clue to the owner of the money, and, unless one is found the money will be re turned to Mrs. Hill. It is supposed that the pocket book was gathered up with refuse from the house of some of the wealthy residents of Germantown and carted to the dump.

An Exposition on tho Coition Coast, in the Land ot Sunshine. It was a bold suggestion, the hold ing ot an international Exposition, projected by a State on the extreme western confines of the continent, almost immediately upon the close of the greatest and most successful World's Fair that was ever participated in by the nations of the earth. But the enterprise was in the hands of people bold in enterprise, determined in execution, able in management, origi nal in planning, resourceful in ex pedients. These masterly abilities were brought into service, and the result has been infinitely creditable not only to the promoters, but to Cali forma and to our country. The Mid-winter Fair, which hence forth must be a part of American history, opened on January 27 with a display of architectral surprises, and a wealth of exhibits that has amazed the world. The main buildings rivaled m beauty those of the Columbian Ex position, while the features were scarcely less interesting. It is unfortu nate that, owing to distance from the centre of population, so tew persons can afford to visit this really great fair. This regret is largely compensa ted, however, by the publishers of the " Magic City " portfolio of Exposition photographs, who with most commend able enterprise have added to their World's Fair series of photographs, two special numbers which contain twenty four paces and fifty views of the principal attractions of the Mid winter F'air. These picture not only the large buiknngs, Dut also tne Oriental Concession corresponding to the Midway riaisance-features and especially the reproduction of life in California in " the days of old, the days of gold." 1 hese two num bers make a delightfully charming conclusion to the " Magic City World's F'air views, and everybody should get them. They may be ob tained through the Columbian upon the same terms which have governed the distribution of previous numbers of "Magic City." No. 17 will con tain eisht nhotoeraphs of World's F'air views, and eight Mid winter Fair nictures. No. 18. which concludes the series, will be devoted entirely to the California Imposition. Ten cents and one coupon will secure either of these splendid parts 1 back numbers supplied upon the same terms. No other preparation so meets the wants of a debilitated system as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Locusts To Follow The Small-Pox. Next month, according to Washing ten reports, we are to be visited by great broods of " cicada " or " seven teen year locusts." The insects, it seems, arc now in their incubators under-going the process of hatching. Should this prophesy prove true, there is no telling what our now promising harvest will be, as all will depepd up on their numerical strength and con sequent ravages upon all kinds of veg etation. By some it is claimed the in sects anticipated will not be locusts, but grasshoppers, and that the injury is apt to be serious only when they are exceptionally numerous. 1 he writer has seen grasshoppers so numerous in Texas, as to veil the sun and cover the earth and all manner of vegetation. We have seen promising crops and thriving gardens completely destroyed in less than a halt hour atter the flood of grasshoppers once settled upon them. At every step hundreds would jump out from under one s feet in walking, and after consuming every thing green or succulent we have seen them tackle the moss on lencc-rails. We know of no worse calamity that might befall the farmer than .just lonc-continucd grasshopper plague. Being migratory in habit, they only stay long enough to clean up the more desirable grasshopper food, when they skip and lly along to fresh fields of ravishment. 1 hose we saw were in all stages of advancement, from the gray old " crandady ' hopper down to the mere mite just able to skip ; but they manage some how to keep along with the old folks. Where they a 1 come from or go to is only one more of the many unsolved mysteries surrounding us in God's providence. According to the Washington entomologist s reckon ing these insects, whether locusts or hoppers, will make their appearance during the last week of this month. 20,000,000 Stars can be seen with a powerful telescope. The number is vast, but so are the hours of siiifoung ol every woman who belones to the overworked, " worn out," " run down, " debilitated class.

The newspapers and the fearful cry let the preacher's keep out of this fight because, as they say, preacher s are accustomed to one sided argument, and can say from the safe harbor of the pulpit many things that would not go undisputed or unanswered on the stump. It does begin to look in some quarters as though the evil day of female suffrage were about to dawn upon us and knock the bottom out of man's ar rangments for his many little comforts, indulgences, innocent amusements, &c. It looks that way in New ork, they say, and hence tne cause ot man s general alarm in York State.

The case was called for trial on the 4th inst. m the police court of Washing ton City. They were charged with un lawful display of a banner or device in the Capitol grounds, and in break ing down shrubbery and other plants there. Coxey's lawyer moved that the in formation be quashed, as the law was void in prohibiting the Constitutional right of petition. The motion to quash was over-ruled, and a jury was finally selected and sworn in. Without concluding the case the court adjourn ed at 4 o'clock. Resuming the trial, on the 8th inst. the " cominonwealers" were found guilty by the jury. The penalty is a fine not exceeding $100 anil imprison ment not exceeding Co days.
