"VVhem Senator Hill held two offices, and both good pay, he used frequently t remark : " I am a Democrat." It has Vteen some time since he repeated sonor ously the maxim. Cleveland will likely stop it just as suddenly in November. " Tiieue is all the difference in the world between fiee speech and fool (speech," said a P.oston journalist once. Private Ianif, lately a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard, is in a po sition to appreciate the force of the re mark. The Chicago convention declared the recent tariff act unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of the United States de clares the opposite. People can believe, it they choose, that the Tammany mob at the Chicago w igwam knew wrc of law than the Supreme court. Me. Harkity draws t-1,000 salary and gets $20,000 in perquisites from his office in Pennsylvania while he is attending to the work of the Democratic committee in New York. Harrity can afford to work for his party for nothing while Pennsyl vania is pay ing him for the work he does not do. Chairman Harrity, of the Democrat ic oommitte, is satisfactory to the Mug w uniftt. He is also satisfactory to the machine Democrats with better reason, because as postmaster of Philadelphia he was condemned by the Civil Service CoruniWioners for violating the rules of civil service. Si'EAKEK Cup has written a long let ter to the Democrats of Georgia, urging every man to to stand by the old par ty" for fear of "negro supremacy." Crisp has found that the free-trade platform of his party is not popular in Georgia, and he is waving the bloody shirt to hold the Democrats in line. Ix spite of the fact that the Eamocra'- c party has solemnly pronounced pro tection unconstitutional, not a justice of the United Slates Supreme Court has re signed his seat on the bench. If the court has any respect for the opinions of the IVruocracy the bench would have been vacated long ago. Gov. Feck, cf Wisconsin, has now an opportunity to thow that a humorist may prove equal to very serious emer gencies. Merrill, a city of 10,000 people in the center ofthe State, is in the hands of a mob of strikers, and, as usual, the sheriff confesses inability to restore or der. Will Peck prove to be a second Pattison jxiltroon ? A ke;ro seconded the nomination of the candidate for Governor in the Peo ple's party convention of Geo'gia. It has inflamed the Georgia Democrats against the third party almost as much as they have been against the Republi can party. Any man or party that treats the negro as a part of civilization is an enemy of the Democratic party. It is a commentary on the carelessness of the American people that during the last fiscal year over five million pieces of mail matter were received at the dead letter office at Washington. But it is pleasant to observe tnat there was de crease of nearly 1 per cent, over the rec ord ofthe previous year. Many of the severest cemplainU made against the Poet Office Department grow out of the carelessness of the public. Swarms of grasshoppers have made their appearance in Arizona, devouring every green thing they can find in that country, w hich is not overmuch burden ed with vegetatiou. And hoarse-voiced locusU are reported in various sections ot the country, Wlieved to be of the sev-nteen-year species. Their wings are or namented with the letter W, which the superstitious believe to be a portent of war ; bur better-informed people mow that it signifies nothing more awful than Weaver. All sorts of famine-breeding gaass-hoppers and locusts are calamity ites,anditis fitting that they should wear the initial of their great prophet and prototype. The People's party was intended to be used by Democratic bosses as a side show to the Democratic circus. But it seems in several localities U have got away with them. In some of the rock-ribbed Democratic States the bosses are denoun cing with red hot anathemas, which promise to be supplemented with shot guns before November. But the people were not expecting to hear such heavy growling from Indiana. The Indianapo Yngmiiiuimv: "The People's party is an adjunct of the Republican party in Indiana, and will assist to elect Benja min Harrison. The third party is being pstsl to draw away Democratic voters." TifK firs pensions ever granted by the United States were provided for in bills introduced in Congress in April, 177S. On May 1 177S, Congress passed a bill granting that ail officers who shall serve to the close of the war shall receive half pay for seven years thereafter, and all private soldiers shall secure a reward of f SO." This same Congress gave permis sion to South Carolina and Georgia to raise 3,000 troops of able bodied negroes for service, for whom Congress agreed to pay fJ,000 for every soldier thus muster ed into the service, "provi led that n bounty or pay be allowed said negroes," and also "provided that every such negro shall be ewanc ipated at the end of the war and recrive $-W ' Mr. Cleveland has written another letter, in which he expresses the modest opinion that those Democrats w ho do not support him in the coming campaign "are recreant to their country-" Such an utterance is characteristic of the man who regards the Iemocratic arty chief ly as a means for the glorification and advancement of Grover Cleveland. The decisive defeat which the voters admin istered to Cleveland and free trade in 1SSS has evidently taught the chronic candidate nothing. Ue is still of the opinion that it is positively sinful for anybody to oppose him or to oppose the Democratic raid on American industries w hich he is leading. The shock of the second defeat may dispel some cf this grotesque egotism. A;ais have the Connecticut courts spoken and sustained the Republicans in their claim of victory at the last Guberna torial election. This time it is in quo warranty proceedings brought by the Democratic claimant to the office of Sec retary of State against the hold-over Re publican. While the Republicans never claimed that on the face of the returns the Thjmo- crat did cot have a majority, they did claim that had certain votes not been improperly thrown out, both parties would have failed of a majority, and the election would have leen thrown into the Republican lesrislatiire. This the court substantially finds, and it estal lishes the fact that General Merwin and otl er Republicans have been deprived of the offices to which they are entitled Dy the unjustifiable and illegal action of the Democrats. The Democratic platform this Year de clares protection unconstitutional. This is nothing new, as Democratic platforms have always declared something uncon stitutional. In 1-SfiI it was unconstitu tional to send relief to the garrison in Fort Sumpter. In the same year it was un constitutional to try to break down the secession fence, and it was unconstitu tional foi United States troops to march through Baltimore on their way to ash ington. In l$i'2 it was unconstitutiona' for President Lincoln to emancipate the slaves. In 1S;'v4 it was unconstitutional to suppress the copperhead newspapers. In 1S04 everything the government did was unconstitutional and the war was a failure. In IS79 resumption of specie payment was unconstitutional. It was unconstitutional to amend the Constitu tion. But the government went ahead and did all these things and the Democ racy accepted them. The party had to declare something unconstitutional this year, and the McKinley bill, which had been passed upon by the Supreme Court, was the victim. Alter it has been fully indorsed by the people in November the lA'inocrats will claim that was what they wanted. LJfr Qv.ni. Why They Sent Substitutes. From Ui New York Pre-. The candidates of the People's party are in a peck of trouble over their reeords since the war. Weaver won't run well among the Southern mein ers of the party because he abused the South after the reliellion was suppressed, while Field would be rejected by the Northern members because he pub licly regretted in that he did not kill more Yankees during the cowlict. The Democratic candidates smile complacently at all this unhappy snarl and th:mk good ness it isn't their trouble. They knew there would be hardness of heart and bitterness of spirit for every man who went iuto the war and ran for ottice afterward. That is why thev seut substitutes. No Scarecrows In Alabama. From Uie N. Y. Mail ani Eipre-. At least one branch of the democracy iu Alabama has no interest in the night mare cry of "Force bill,'' started by the Hill proiection democratic orin of thU city. Jones and Ko!l are the rival dem ocratic candidates for Governor. Jones is supported by the Cleveland democracy and Kolb is suported by the indejeudt nt dem ocrats, the Farmers' Alliance and the work ing people. A heated canvass ofthe Slate is being made by both candidates, and the Kolb democrats, are making "a free ballot and a fair count'' the leading issue. They declare that the Jones or Cleveland democracy propose to serve them as they have 9erved the Republi can party in recent years, count them out at the oils. They allege that the Jones dem ocrats refusal to give the Kolb democracy any inspectors of election, and when the cases were taken to court carried them up to the Supreme Court, so that a hearing could not be had nntil after election. Mr. Kolb, the anti-Cleveland democratic can didate, in a remit speech said : Ii the Joiks pang attempt to count us out there will be a light, ll tliy monkey w itii Ibe ballot boxes in this election the fur w ill lly. This is a contest between wbite men, but Jone s friend are hustling tor the Negro vote. So do we want it. TLere is nothing wrong in tbat. I am a freeman until August and shall remain so unless my vote is count ed out. IVprive the poor people of this country of tbeir right to vote, as will be attempted by the Jones faction, and they wil be reduced to a more abject slavery than existed in this country thirty years ago. The Jonea crowd are attempting to justify their threatened fraudulent count upon the idea that my election depends upon Negro votes. The fact is, we both want Negro votes. If Jones does not expect any Negro votes, his newspapers ought to explain bow it is they expect, as tbey say they do, to carry Dallas County by o.iw majority, when there are less than one thousand white voters in the county. The same is true as to Montgomery, Lowndes, Wiicox and other counties. The fact is, they expect lo stuff the boxes in the blatk belt to overcame jour votes up here in the white counties. The issue in Alabama is "a free ballot and a feiir count," and the cry of the "Force bill' started in the North doesn't seem to find a sympathetic echo in the South. The scarecrow of a "Force bill" and Negro domination doesn't frigthten anybody. Better take it djwn right away. The Soldiers' Ticket. From the Lancaster Inquirer. The attention of the Republican party cannot be too earnestly directed to the thor ough organization of the soldier vote at the coming Presidential election. There should be means ad ptd for bring ing to the polls the vote of every soldier who is favorable to the election of President Harrison, and it is quite e'exr that an im mense majority of thera belong to that class. The reasons for this are quite clear. Gen eral Harrison was one of the bravest of vol unteer officers of the war, and no public man in this country has done nun to ad vance their interests than he has done. Jfr. Heid, whi! not a soldier, won his spurs as a journalist by his faithful and courageous work in the field as war correspondent, and his fmous letters under the signature of " Agat" to the old Cincinnati Gauite, as well as hi work as historian of the Ohio Volunteers, entitle him to more than ordi nary consideration by the veterans. On the other band the IVjoertic ticket f of such a character that no self repecting i soldier can support it. The only connection which Grover Cleveland had w ith the war for the Union was when he hired a aubsti tute who died a f-w yearj ago in New York tlmshouse, while as Presideut he in curred the enniity of the veterans by his cold-blooded policy in vetoing pension bills and neflecling the observance of Memorial Day. Stevenson, the tail of the ticktt, was active ;n Illinois during the war in criticis ing Lincoln's administration, in furthering the doctrine cf peace at any price and in countenancing the work of those Democrats who formed the notorious " Knights of Uie Golden Circle." The contrast between the character and public strvices of the candidates of the Re publican party and their opponents cannot fail to arrest the attention of all soldiers. Where is the Hildier who would support Grover Cleveland who hired a substitute to do his fighting and afterward permitted him to die in a poorhonse, in opposition to Harrison who bravely and heroically fought for his country at the peril of bis life? There are yet enough of tried and true Union soldiers who honor a brave man and drspise a pretender, to make the triumph of Harrison a still more emphatic one than it was in lSv, if effective measure are taken to bring them to the polls. The National Committee will not dis charge its full duty until this is done. The Two Conaresaea. From the Chicago Inter Ocean, The 5irth Anttrkan Jrrifw for August contains an article from the pen of ex Speaker Reed entitled, "Two Congresses Con trasted"." The two are, of course, the one over which Mr. Reed presided and the one now in session. As a writer Mr. Reed is racy and rasping, Btrongly partisan in tone without allowing himself to deal in abusive platitudes. His contention in regard to the Fifty-first Congress is, first, that it did the work of eight years in two years, and with the single exception of the first Congress during the war madean unprecedented reo ord for important and beneficent legislation, while the present Congress is of thedo nothir.g order in that respect, and, second, that as concerns ex;nditurea the appropria- j tions of the present Congress exceeds tnose ot its immediate predecessor by many mil lions. That is to say, the first or long ses sion of the last Congress did not equal the figures of the first or long session of the Congress Dow in session. These are the two central facts around which the article clust ers. At the time Mr. Reed wrote the session was not near enough to its close for absolute precision, especially as to appropriations, but now nolhirg remains except the sundry civil appropriation bill, which has the World's Fair appropriation. That bill car ries in round cumbers $21,0o0,0u0, nearly .t),l i,'-H'0 being for necessary governmental expenses. Even with that bill left out the appropriations of this session of this Con gress would exceed those of the correspond ing session of two years ago to the extent of ."V'O.Oi'O. Evidently it is impossible for the Democrats to keep up with any dency whatever their demagogical outcry against the ''billion-dollar Congress" about which so much noise has been made. Mr. Reed does not go Into the merits of these appro priations, but it is only fair to add that the increase was due mainly to the growth of the (ountry. The point of criticism is not Democratic extravagance, but Democratic hypocrisy. The most remarkable statement of Mr. Reed is this : With the single exception of the tariff act, wbirh is the subject of partisan attack, every act of the Fifty-tirst Congress has remained unsssailed by even a Iteuiocratic House, and the long list of acts which, though done in two yeais, were really the business of more than eight years, now stand, with a single exception, approved by the silence of au op position which was wildly and rampantly vocil- roue when these acis were passed. This is a truly astonishing fact, but one which is undeniable. The fierce hostility of two years ago has dwindled down to the one point of protection. When the cam paign gets fairly under way the people will realize more keenly that they do now the significance of such an indorsement by a political enemy, especially in view of the contrasting fact of the do-nothing record of the present Congress, How the Workmen In the Home stead Mills Live. The most interesting feature connected with the resumption of work at the mills is the manner in which the army of workmen live within the works, for there tbey eat and sleep. They are comfortably lodged and fed on the best the markets afford. Four im mense bunk-bouse and two dining-rooms have been built within the iast few days. The buildings are made of rough pine boards hut are well designed. The light and venti lation are good, snd they are kept as neat and trim as parlors. Kvery man has a spring cot with a mattress, a feather pil low, and a pair of large, heavy California blankets. The dining houses and kitchen are simi lar in construction and are also well arrang ed and clean In the largest of the two din-ing-houses there are twelve long tables, each of which will accommodate twenty persons at a time. Adjoining this is a large dining room in the electric light station, where the foremen and heads ofthe departments are entertained. There are three tables, large enough for eighteen plates each, in this de partment. The He said said that be had o.-er six hundred men for dinner in a large dining -room, and about lJo in the dynamo house. A new dining house has just been com pleted, where a large number took breakfast. It contains seven tables, which will acconv modate twenty persons each. The food con sists of fresh beef, mutton, bain, bacon, boil ed and mashed iotatoes, bread, hot biscuit, creamery butter on ice, vegetables in great variety, jellies, calces and crackers, and good tea and coffee. On the Anxious List. A number of Southern Congressmen who usually win their seats by heavy majorities, ranging from 5.000 to 15,oxn, are greatly dis tressed over the present political condition in their home districts. '' I was elected in ISOj," said one of them, "by IO.OiO majority. I will do well to get 1.800 this time, and, frankly, it looks as though the otht r fellow would get the ma jority in November. Who is the other fel low ? Why, the third party agitator, of course, and be has been organizing the peo pie in every county in my district ever since the present session of Congress began. If the Republicans support him pretty solidly, as they are likely to do, then I have served my las', term ia the House. My case is not an exceptional one, and, mark my predic tion, not a few of the men who now bold their seats from districts always esteemed safe for the Democracy by overwhelming odds, are go'ng to be beaten by representa tives in this new organization. It may amount to a revolution in the South. Unraveling aMurder, LewisKt Ro, Pa., July 27. The rtrange death of John Weidentaul "last Saturday night is slill a profound mystery. Weiden saul was found in the bouse of Kate Nyliart with a bullet hole in his heal and a pistol by bis side. A fire bad been kindled in the adjoining room with tl e intention of burn ing up all evidence of the crime. It was at first thought that Weidensaul bad fired the building himself and then committed sui cide. The doctors who held the post-mortem examination are positive that the man was murdered. The bullet killed him iusUntly they fay. He was not powder burned, hence he could not have shot himself. It is now believed that when Weidensaul ent ered the house, be met another man and a quarrel ensued, which resulted in the mur der. H.C. Frick'e Condition. H. C.

The second month of the great Homestead sirike opens rather discouragingly, so far as the locked out men are concerned, though they do not in tbe slightest admit it, and express just as great confidence in their ultimate victory as ever. On the 2Srth of June, 2,000 men having been locked out, 1,500 struck ont of sympa thy, and only a few watchmen were left around the plant. To-day there are about 725 men working in tbe mill, and the firm claims it has a quantity of beams ready for shipment Tbe locked out men have no ac cess to the non-unionists to endeavor to in duce them to come out, while daily tbe firm is filling vacancies and training new men for the Hawk. Meanwhile the effects ofthe lockout are being felt in the town. To-day Constable 8teward closed a grocery store, the owner concluding to go out of business on account of the falling off in cash trade and his ina bility to carry on an extensive business for any length of time. A number of merchants, while in sympathy with the locked out men, are deciding upon a plan whereby they will not give credit, but will tell at absolute cost to all locked out men during the trouble. The Belief Committee, which has charge of all poorer paid labor now included in tbe lockout, still meets all demands mads upon it for aid, though daily the long line of per sons in the great assembly room at headquar ters lengthens. One by one families come in for aid. The non-union men are beginning to re ceive an astonishing number of threatening letters. They are dropped from the railroad trestle, slipped through the cracks in tbe fence, wrapped around stones and hurled from boats up the bank and ver the steel barricades which still remain, sole reminder of the riot save a few charred remains of tbe barge. The following missive found nnder the P., McK. & Y. trestle U a fair sample of the warnings : Homestsd, July 29. Notice. All non-union men desiring to leave Carnegie's works will be provided for by the union men of Homestead. But all who stay at work will seek his God. All are being spotted. Beware.'' " We have told all the men that if any felt alarmed oYer the threats and wanted to leave, they can do so," said Mr. II. M. Cur ry, one of the firm, this morning. " None of the new Carnegie operatives are inclined, however, to take such chances, and as a re sult not one has ever ventured beyond the mill gates. As a result of the stone throwing from passing trains Friday night, the railroad company has placed detectives on the trestle and will arrest any persons who repeat the o flense, Hugh O'Donnell yet remains away, but members of the Advisory Committee are in communication with him, and seem to ex pect something favorable as a result of his mission. Messrs. Potter and Curry to-day gave out the following regarding mill operations : " The 23-inch mill started on single turn this morning and all the departments in op eration yesterday are working steadily. In tbe new cogging and beam mills tbe men are familiarizing themselves with the work, and the machinery will soon be started. A quantity of steel beams are now ready for shipment and will be sent at once. The re ports of general boycotts of the products of the mill have proven untrue. When cus tomers learned the firm was making beams they sent letters asking to be favored with first orders, and many have come to Home stead in person. This firm eipects that an attempt will be made in some places to boy cott its products, but does not anticipate any material annoyance therefrom. ' Twenty-five men arrived at Swissdale from Philadelphia this morning, several of them being skilled steel workers. Two of tbe arrivals were (aid and discharged, as the firm did not like their appearance. The others were taken into the mill and will be put to work immediately." The Other Side of the lams Case. The stories that have come from Home stead have all represented Private lams as the victim of extreme cruelty. It is but fair to give the other side of the case, which is done by Adjutant Shelden B. Hayes, of lams' regiment. Adjutant Hayes witnessed the punishment from beginning to end. Says he : When news of the attempted assassina tion reached camp, the men were lounging in front of provisional headquarters and Colonel Streator was sitting in front of his tent. Some one told tbe news to the group under the tree and lams, throwing up his bands, shouted, " Bays, three cheers for the man who shot Frick." The Colonel heard him and ordered the whole regiment into line and said : " Some one thoughtlessly uttered treasonable words a few moments ago. I am loth to think that there is one man in the Tenth Begi ment who would give expression to such sentiments, knowing the consequences. Now I want the man wbosaid, Three cheers for tbe man who shot Frick,' to step to the front" With an air of bravado and a defiant smile on his face lams stepped out and said, " Colonel, I did it." "Certainly, lams, you said it in a joke, did you not ?" No, sir, I did not." " Why did you say it." " Because I hate Frick." He was then ordered to the guard house, and after a consultation with his oflieers he was ordered by Colonel Streator to be tied up by the thumbs, nnder the direction of Major Surgeon Neff and Doctors Vllom and Grim. The order from Colonel Streator was that he was to be m ade to suffer, but that no physical injury wai to be done him. He was tied up, but was not lifted off the ground ; he was ab'e at any time, so loosely was he suspended, that he could have borne his full weight upon the ground. He, how ever, shifted his weight from one fool to the other and the punishment simply consisted ofthe culprit's having to keep his arms sus pended, which, of course, was rather pain ful. After being strung up he asked one of the surgeons for a chew of tobacco, which re quest was granted, and at the end of nine teen minutes, when released, said, " I wish I had not swallowed tbat tobacco juice, it has made me somewhat sick." At no time, reports to the contrary not withstanding, was lams unconscious. Every member of the National Guard takes a solemn oath to nphol J the Constitu tion of the Nation and State and that be will not give aid or comfort to the enemies of either. lams became a traitor when he sought to breed a spirit of mutiny among those who were called into camp to sup press crime. He was a fit subject Sr se vere punishment The only question has been as to the manner in which that pun ishment should have been inflicted. So far as the man himself is concerned he is net to be made a martyr. He deserved all he got. But had the colonel of the regiment the right to string him up by tbe th umbs and pass summary judgment without the form ality of a trial ? That is the contention, and an official investigation should be held to establish that point for all future occasions. It is not pleasing to contemplate that in these enlightened day it is possible for an officer of the National Guard to take sum mary action and to mete out brutal punish ments, although in this case, if Adjutant Hayes is to be believed, there was no bru tality to speak of. Still, it is just as well to have all such question settled for all time. Was Colonel Streator light or was he wrong? Thi is the whole question at issue. We do not believe tbat he-bad the authority to take such summary action. But that ia a matter to be settle 1 only after an official in quiry. Meanwhile, no one need warte the slightest sympathy on Private lams, who, bad he belonged to the army in wartimes, would have been shot for sleeping at his post when cn guard duty. He is not the kind of material that the National Guard of Pennsylvania cares to have within its ranks. ' Hfchcst of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. t v cucj 1 V ABSOLUTELY PURE lams, the Guardsman. Will Sue his Superior Officers. ' Pittsbi bg, Ta., July 23. The issue of ex Private lams' thumbs is growing greater and more complicated every day. The dismissed militiaman's attorneys will brine suits 5gainst Major General Snowden, Lieu tenant Colonel Streator and Colonel Hawkins. One suit will be for assault and battery, one for conspiracy to defame and one for trespass, and damages in tbe sum of $10,000 will be claimed in a civil suit Lieutenant Colonel Streator is in receip of letters from all parts of the country com mending bis action and offering financial aid to the amount of$10,0o0. The officers n am ed say they have no fears of the suit 11X9' THI MIS rsILESS. Ek-Private lams attended a conference with his lawyer to-day. He says he has not yet recovered from the effects of being hung up by the thumbs. Those members are apparently bloodless, and entirely with out feeling. lams says he can pierce either thumb with a pin without causing pain. He stated to the attorneys that while suspended by tbe thumbs he lost the power of speech, though he knew perfectly what was going on around him. He said he experienced great pain in his head, which be thought would burst, while his eyes pained so he thought they were leaving his sockets. Considerable excitement was caused by the announcement that the member of tbe Randall Club, the principal Democratic organization in Western Pennsylvania, had already taken steps to have Colonel Streator expelled from tbe club. Attorney lams said that after a close examination of Pennsylvania law, they had come lothe conclusion that Colonel Streator had no authority for his action, even though it could be proved that the soldiers in camp were under the same regulations as troops in the face of an enemy. It was not proiosed to take any steps against Colonel Streator' military posi tion. The Schoolma'ams Marry. Boise City, Idaho, July 2!. Reports re ceived by the Superintendent of Public In struction show that the trustees of nearly every school district of the State of Idaho are having difficulty in retaining lady school teachers. The fair pedagogues marry at an alarming rate, and there is a constant call for new teachers. Young women flock in to Idaho from the East, jrticularly Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, easily obtain situa tions as teachers, and in from three to six mouths about 5J per cent of them are mar ried, leaving their schools for the more con genial surroundings of homes. There are in Idaho so many more men than women tbat a pret'y and intelligent girl from anywhere has no difficulty in securing more admirers than she knows what to do with. The school trustees complain because in many instances teachers marry and dtsert their schools in the middle of the terms, thus causing much inconvenience and loss of time. It is suggested that only male teach ers be employed in order that this trouble may be avoided and, although the expense will be much greater, this may be done. The S tate Suiierintendent has on file let ters from over -"00 women who are desirous of obtaining position in Idaho, and he is inclined to believe that about five sixth of the applicants having beard of Idaho's fame as a matrimonial field are more anxious to ome here in search of a rich husband than to instruct the hardy youths of the State. If any more women are employed this year thy will be com eled to sign an iron-bound contract not to marry during the school terms, and a generous share of their salary will be retained as a su rety. They Pray and Eat Snakes. New York, July 31. Tbe 30 bowling dervishes who arrived at this port on last Friday were landed at Ellis Island yester day and later taken in a lare express wagon to an uptown hotei. These are no ordinary Oriental fanatics, but dervishes of the most howling kind. Each is said to be a high priest of his order. They were gathered from diflereut parts of Egypt and the Soudan. Sonic of them come from Khartoum and piof(3 to Lave known the late General Gordon while he was lesieged at that place. Their costumes consist of Mowing robes and turbans of many colors. I Hiring their progress up Broadway they attracted considerable attention. One of them held a (pear snd another stroked the fur of a large t:gir cat. Ail looked wild and picturesque. Although these dervishes while at borne devote most of their time to prayer and believe in Allah as the only God and in Mohamed as his prophet, their mission to this land is not to make converts but to ake in American dollars by giving ex hibitions throughout the country. Inci dentaliv they will exhibit themselves at the World's Fair. Among the things they do with the spec ial permission of Allah and his prophet are dancing barefooted on sharp swords and cut glass, swallowing live snakes, eating pound ed glass and burning coals and cutting off each others' heads. There are three sects of them the ardy, or dancers ; the Melawy or howlers and general magicians, and the Kadey or fire eater?. They do not neglect their prayers while here, but devote sevesral hours each day to that duty. During prayers they face the north, piay alone and in tbe absence of "uLb.dieving dogs" howl to their heart cm mu Both Stuffed. Washisotos, July 31. Tom Beed has furnished ibe Democrats with a campaign cry which is on the lips of everybody at the Capitol and which will stick to the Dem ocratic ticket. Half a dozen members of Congress were grouped about his desk yester day talking politics and trying to laugh themselves cooL There were three or four Democrats in the number, and Dolliver jokingly taunted them on the lameness of their campaign. "The trouble with your ticket is tbat you haven't got a catch word that hits the people he said.
