Crisp has completed the

been introduced in the House with the
exception of that for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law,
which was taken up for consideration

Every
of al
New York paper which has lately been |
very bitter in its abuse of him for no
better apparent reason than that he |
declined to take the aforesaid paper
into his confidence. The other day, |
just after an unusually bitter criticism
of the Senator had been printed under
a Washington date line, the Washing-
| ton correspondent of the paper sent a
{man to ask Senator Gorman if he had
make to the tirade.
“Really” replied the Senator, with
one of his most beaming smiles, “1
| seldom see that paper, and I have not
{heard of the article you refer to.”
| With some confusion the man began
to explain the fature of the article,
but he was interrupted by Mr. Gor
{man who carelessly remarked as he
| turned to speak to one of his colleagues
| “The matter is not of the slightest
| importance, I assure you.” It is need-
less to say that the iuterview with Mr.
| Gorman was not wired to the paper.
Neither Secretary Hoke Smith nor
| Commissioner Lochren are worrying
| even a little bit over the resolution in-
| troduced into the Senate by Mr. Gal-
| liniger, of N. H., providing for an in-
vestigation of the legality of their ac-
| tions in suspending pensioners shown
by the records not to be entitled to the
pensions they have been drawing. In
fact, an investigation will be welcome,
and the more thorough it is made the
better it will be liked, Meanwhile the
suspensions continue at an average of
about 150 a day. At the close of busi-
ness Saturday the total number of pen-
sioners who had been suspended was
8,254.
The report of a bill from the Senate
committee on Finance for the uncondi-
tional repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law put a stop to the
silly talk about that committee inten
tionally delaying a report on the bill.
The minority of the committee report
ed a substitute bill, providing for the
frée coinage of silver at a ratio of 20 to

banks to increase their circulation is

Fiends Cripple Children,
Horrible discoveries have been made
by officials in Croatia, which indicate

A gang of men have been arrested in
Biskupitz, because they have mutila-
ted young children. The men have
for years made a trade of erippling
children and then sending them out
to beg, or selling them to others for the
same purpose,
Children were stolen or were misled
with promises to visit the house kept
by the gang on the outskirts of the
town. Onoce there they were bound
and tortured,
When the police forced their way in-
to the house they found two girls of 12

Another girl of about the same age lay
bound on a bed with her right arm
broken and both eyes gouged out. Two
other children, hardly less horribly
mutilated, were found on cots in the
cellar.
Many instruments which have been
used in producing physical deformities
were uncovered in the cellar and were
seized for evidence.
