desert lii in and cast their in

The fit use of this revolt is the'

John ( . New, who comes for
the purpose of taking tliefull
control of the Harrison force,

The sudden deatli of Sena
tor Harbour, 'if Virginia, on
Saturday m o r n i n g from
heart failure, is n loss to his
State, his p ji r t y and his!
count r., that will long be;
felt. As a party leader hej
nas had no supei ior m nis
State, and ftnv in the nation;
as a Senator his long experi
ence in public life gave him a
prestige which the a blest, men
can in no other way acquire,
a prestige that was valuable
to his State and to his party,
and which was never used for
his personal advantage. Per
sonally he wa, as Senator
McMiliian sai.l. "My ideal of
the perfect gentleman,"' and
liked by all who knew him.

at work, and lie expects sev

free copper and iron ores and
a reduction in the uut. on

the House shortly. Free

and a move is on foot f.o

Senate.
Th'-re is a marked diif-r-ei
ice of opinion among demo
cratic Senators as to the pol
icy the party should at this
time adopt in dealing with
appropriations for new ves
sels for the navy. Senator
(iorman takes the giound
that the country should have
a navy to be proud of, and
t h a t the cry of economy
should not prevent the spen
ding of a liberal amount of
money in building new ships.
Senator Mills, on the other
hand, says he is opposed to
a government which would
to-day, if it were it a private
corporation, be in the hands
of m receiver, spending mon
ey that it has not in its treas
ury, for something that is
not absolutely necessary, and
favors striking out all appro
prio tions for new ships and
I letting the government come
back to the lesson that gov
ernments, like individuals,
must live within their in
comes. There was th same

should have ko time for any

no reason why the public
should believe that any pub

to announce i hrough the

thus giving his oppoinaitsan

Toledo, Ohio, May, 17.
Mayor Einick has declared
himself in favor of Sunday
base ball, as he says it would
keep men and boys out of the
saloons. Every preacher in
the pulpit hasdenoniiced him
and the religious people are
very indignant.
The ball lovers had an in
dignation meeting last, night,
at which the action of the
ministers of tho gospel were
condemned, and both sides
will attend a public meeting
Wednesday night, when the
question will be settled.
