If the remark is strictly parliamentary, it
may ho said that the present temper of the
Senate is mulish.
An inquiring correspondent is Informed
that the report that the Pennsylvania Iegls
I ituro has prohibited the eatlnji of mince
pies and the making of blackberry cordial is
incorrect. These reform measures were
probably reserved for the next session of that
ublo body, and in the meantime the people
will continue in their sinful ways.
The banquet and entertainment given last
night under the auspices of Washington
Camp No. 118, I". O. S. of A., vras a flattering
Miccess in every particular. The enterta'u
tnent by Prof. Ford was of a high order, aud
the menu furnished by Caterer Aregootl ya
served in that gentleman's usual style. The
members of the (Jump, and especially the
committee haviug the affair in charge, can
congratulate themselves upon thr. success
attained.
TiiK doctors tell us that the epidemic ol
grip which is again upon us covers a very
wide area of territory, greater, in f.ict, than
its predecessors havo done. While it appear
to be more general, attacking in many caoes
almost every member of the household, or
oven of a community, it does uot seem to be
so severe as it wus upon its first appennmcr
years ago. It is nut only milder in its firs!
attack, but recovery seems to be more rapid,
while the aftei symptoms aro not regarded as
nearly so severe or dnngorous.
William J. IlRYAN is not yet dead
politically or oratorically, at least wo should
jude so 'from the announcement that he has
been booked for two lectures Inftewiork.
lie will open the series of lectures to take
place In Ornegte Hall, and having for theii
purpose the booming of tho silver campaign
in 1000. The arrangement means foresight
on the part of the Silverites, but as "the best
laid schemes o' men and mice gang aft aglee,"
so this one may be shunted hitherand thither
long before the campaign opens with tho new
century.
A bill will be introduced in the legis
lature shortly, says the HaEleton I'laiu-
Speaker, allowing grocers to attach wagee
for debts due just as boarding bosses, board
ing mistresses and hotel keepers are now
privileged to do for what Is duo them when
a delinquent fails to pay up. It will have
the indorsement of every grocer but not the
debtors who fancy that their grocer, when
they are short of money or when they use it
for something else, "can wait until the next
time." Occasionally it 1s impossible for
people to pay their grocery bills but many
times the class of "stickers" so common in
every town, are the cause of ruin, sheriffs
sales and broken down constitutions.
Coxorkh will probably be called upon soon
to decide a curious case. Several years ago
it was decided that each state should be
privileged to have statues of two of its
famous men to adorn the capltol and nearly
all have done so and a notable collection it is.
When this law was enacted Utah was not a
state nor was there any immediate prospeet
of its attaining that dignity. Utah is now a
state, and is about to take advantage of the
right accorded, and it appears quite probable
that Hiigbain Young will lie one of the
worthies whose statue will lie decided upon
by the state legislature aud considerable ln
terest In the matter lias been aroused among
Congressmen, one of whom, Mr. Ilarrett, nl
Massachusetts, has introduced a bill prohibit
ing the erection of any statue in Statuary
Hall except by a Jolut resolution of (Jongrosp,
so that if the measure passes old Brigham's
chances of gettiug into Congress will be
about as slim as most people consider his
chances of front seat iu heaven.
Thekk is a gleam of hope in what Maj.
McKinley'e near friend, Congress mi i
ll rosvenor, said a few days ago in a speech
Addressing himself to the manner in which
Cleveland had absorbed the offices by placing
them under civil service restrii tiuus. Gen.
Uroevnuur pointedly said : "In the lasi
campaign we called upou the young meu o
the country to save it from anarchy aud ruin.
They responded nobly to the call. They
worbud day aud night, but now, when they
come to us aud ask to be a part of that
goverameut which they had helped to wake,
we push them aalde aud say they are all
right at ii struroeuts to bring about
an end, but it is out of our power to make
them a part of the government, fur that is
in the bands of a bureaucracy. Is thai
government by the people?" The greatest
ohjeetiou to the Civil Service fraud is that
the questions are uot f rumed by practical
business men but by college professors,
scientific theorists, mathematical cranks,
ethereal guys aud people of that sort. Let
it be a plain, everyday business examinulioi
and thure would be less objection to tin

sociation which pnt-,;ed charges
against ex-President Vandervoort, and
(udeed that Mr. Vandervoort be tried
and expelled from the association. Mr.
Tarker said tile communication had
charged Mr. Vandervoort with being
a paid spy of the Republican party
and a traitor to Populism. Mr. Van
dervoort demanded an investigation,
was exonerated and his accusers de
nounced. In response to telegrams
from the Kansas City meeting, desir
ing to know If members who joined the
organisation at Memphis would be .re
quired to sever co-operation with the

tion in reply cited sections 1, 2 and S
of the association's constitution, which
gives the executive board power to
suspend any member wbo Is not In

Bloomfleld, N. Y., Feb. 21. Florence
Hart, 12 years old, Is bailed as the
heroine of Kllnepoint today, and the
villagers have thronged the house of a
neighbor who cave the Hart family
shelter to see the Intrepid girl who car
ried her baby bre'ViT through fire and
smoke and fc,..al his life. The Hart
home caught fire when all were asleep
by the explosion of a lamp. Florence
and her parents escaped barefooted,
each parent thinking the other had the
baby. The father started back, but
Florence was ahead of him, and soon
came out with the baby in her arms
and her night dress on fire. Florence
was severely burned.

Tours to California.
California has been most fittingly termed
tho "Italy of America." All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and tho rich ver
dure of tho great European poniiittiila are
duplicated Ip this sunny laud of the I'acillc.
Here nature basks in the sunshine of her own
lieauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and a veritable paradise of
dowers, fruits and plants between, man can
Hud and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such a countrv 's a privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing tho need of a more comfortnblo
and pleasant way of crossing tho continent,
inaugurated a soriee of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train of Pullman
palace ears from Now York to the I'acillc
Coast, and stopping at the principal points of
Interest cu route. Tho great popularity of
these tours demonstrates the wisdom of tho
movement.
