House, and couseqututly op
posed to the hand full of

forced the acerptanee of un-

on their colleagues.
As tn itteis now stand it is
the power of that hand t nil

Kinlev law on the statute

iave gone so far as to public
lv announce that they would
vote against any report
made from the ronfereuce
that changed t h e Senate
amendments, but the hope
still remains that they will
after careful thought discov
er that Senator H'fil spoke
words of wisdom when he
old them that they were
wrong and President C'leve-
and right and that soonei
or later they would be com
pelled to surrender, because
the President m demanding
that, the tariff bill providt
for free raw meterials was
but iciterating the demand
to-day, riid for years past,
of ninety-live per cent of the
Democratic party. 1 liet on-
fereneo committee will again
try to reach an agreement
this week, but it must be ad
mitted that the prospH-rs
for success a re not promising,
although some of the most
level headed Democrats m
both House utid Senate are
earnestly working to calm
the irritation an i arouse the
party fealty of those Dem i
eiAts who feel personally
agrioved at the tone- and lan

the election of United Stab s
Senators by direct vote of

ond time the House has put
itself on record on this ques
tions, but the Senate has
never taken it up f-eriously
and there is little probability
that it will do so noiv, al
though there are a dozen or
more Senators who have pun
liely endorsed the idea.

President Cleveland has been

Senator (Irav, chairman of
the Investigating committee,
has been misrepresented in
connection with tho reopen
ing of the sugar trust investi
gation. He has been anxious
from the first to get at the
whole truth, no matter who
it might effect, and when a
Representative of the New
York Herald, which made
the charge that some Sena
tors committed perjury in
testifying that they had not
purchased stock in the sugar
trust, agreed to furnish the
names of witnesses who
could throw light o n that
charge. Mr. (iray at once ac
cepted the offer in . behalf of
the committee, and the in

The Kansas City 'Times'
says that a farmer of Linn
county, Kansas, while boring
for water, has discovered a
natural curiosity of a kind
hitherto unknoivn. At the
depth of ninety feet the dri'l
peretrated a seemingly bot
tomless cuern. A strong
volume of hot air at once
rushed out, diiving the drill
upwards and disabling the
machinery. The air is pro
nounced perfectly dry. and
will burn the fingeis and
roast eggs and potatoes us
nice as ?ould be desired. The
escaping air first made a
noise like many little whis
tles, but now comes out with
a roar to be heard a Imlf
mile uwnv. Oblivious to the
fact that he may have tap
ped the resting place of de
parted Kansas politicians,
the Linn county man is go-

crowd that included an old
darkev that in the goodness
ot his soul did not know but
that he was in a revival
where all the brethern and

quently interrupted by this
old darkev's fervent "ihanK
God," and when he reached
the end of his speech he said :
"I am about to close my re
marks." He was startled to
hear from the old darkey,
"Thank God." and the speak
er sat down in a cyclone ot
applause.
