Represpntutive Richardson, prtspnted t h minority report on the Reve nue Reduction bill. It does not oppose any of the redue tions made, but favors a more extensive rednction in war taxes. The Senate has a I w a y i been an extravagant body specially in its expennittnes for its own luxury, and the fact that the Committee on Finance has jut paid $4, 7Uy for refurnishing and re decorating the room in which it meets, shows that it is growing more so, It was an unexectedly large majority 189 to 92 that the House gave the Giou Oleomariarihe bill. Politica lines-were drawn at all. I e . aoy line was atawn, it was the agricultural against the manufacturing. , That eveything is being done that enn possibly in tin ence voteB for the Ship Subsi dy bill, is apparent to every body. Even the bidding for the construction of the six armoted cruisers and th five battle ships authorized at the last session of Con gress, was utilized for t b a purpose. In order to create the impression in Congress that the shipyards of the conntty were all on the hun for work, whieh the Ship Sub sidy bill would give them enacted Into a law, thee schemers had a whole lot small fry establishments, which- would 'm' taxed t their utmost capacity to build a light draft gun boat put in bids for cruisrn a n battleships.

The antl-cantcen amendment, a dopted by the Houwe to )lease the W. C. T. U. is al ready being made the basis of innch contention. The chaWs fayor its being struck ont hy the Snuite. The story of RathboneV extravagance with Cuban nnda, which was quite a- dis graceful as Necley's stealings, is fulfy told in a pamphlet of 292 pages, now in the hands f the Senate Committee on elation with Cuba. Al hough Rathbone paid ; the money out on vouchers, thej' were vouchers which he knew hat no honest auditing of fleer would' pass.' In fact vouchors amounting to $69, 619.21 have been thrown out by the auditors because of the nature of the goods for which they charged, such &s $110 a month for rent or coachman's house, enam eled bath-tub and other house fitting for one Aa dam lorrins and household furni ture, and furnishings of all kinds, including such items as 'Mining furniture withbro caded silver and gold," and harnAss and other stable paraphanalias.A 1 though thee vouchers have been disallowed, the money bad already been paid from the Cuhan funds. It will in com mon honesty have to be made good, as well as the Neeley stealing, and it is like ly that the task of making good will fall entirely on the United States, as there is no probability of recovering any considerable sum either from Rathbone or Neeley.. Sena tor Teller, struck those who believe or pretend to be neve tnat we cannot con struct the Nicaragua Cana without the consent of Great Britain, a solar plexus blow when be said in a speech ad vocating action on the part of the United States tha would be absolutely inde pendent of England, that to ask England's assent to th construction of thecanalwas to admit that that country had a right to express its dis sent. He warned the Senate that such a position would not be accepted by the peo pie of this country. At the last session of Congress the administration demanded Oie ratification of the Hay Pauncefote treaty without amendment. .Now, its per sonal representatives in the Senate, gladly agree to bav ing a note taken on the Da vis amendment, whicn pro vides thflt nothinc In th treaty VsbAll apply to meas nres whi"h the United States will find it necessary to talc for securing by its own forces ruspAVDa 20,1900. hVde'seof tlie United Stated and the majntennnce of piinllc f'tder' next Thnrs 'ayrwhen thef know that it will b ahopted . 1 he admin ist'raiion Is now willing to ae cept the amendment simply ecniise, it.

She did not hear the footsteps of a geu- tleuian who was passing hy; and was startled by bisques- tion, "What are you reading hat interests you so much?" She timidly replied: "The lord of 3od. sir." Who told you that the Bible is the Word of God?' je inquired. "God told me Himself," she replied, with child-like inno cence. 'God told you I Impossi ble! How did He tell you? You have never seen Him, nor talked with Him. How, then, could He tell you that he flibieisHis Word?" . For a few seconds the girl seemed confused and was si- ent., The man, who was a 9keptic, and took delight in undermining the faith of peo ple in the Scriptures, felt con fident that ho had confound ed the simple hearted girl. She soon recovered herself. and her ready wit came to lerain. There was a flash in her dark eyes as she asked: ''Sir, who told yon the"e is a sun yonder in the blue sky above u?" . 'Who told me?'' said the man, smiling somewhat con- tempuouslv, for he fancied that the girl was trying to hide her ignorance under, an irrelevant question. "Who told me? Nobody; 1 don't need to be told. The sun tells tnisaoour itself, it warms me, and I love itslight. That is telling enough." 'Sir," cried the girl, with intense eat nestness, as she stood before him with clasp ed hands, "you have put it right for both Bible and sun. That is the way God tells me this is His1book. I read it, and it warms my heart and gives me, light. I love, its light, and no one but God cun give euoh light and warmth through the pages o a book. It must be His. J don't' want more telling; that's telling enough, sir. As sure .is the sun is in heaven, so sure is God shining thro' this book." The skeptic was abashed. The earnest faith of the young fruit seller amazed bun. He could adroitly in sinuate doubts into the minds of those who have on Ij given an intellectual as sent to the trnth that the Bi ble is God's book, but the girl's heart experienca of the power of aod's Word was an evidence heconld not shake.

(Continued ou 2nd p'ige.) T DitfniMklM the Jef ro. Asbeville Citizen. , ; :S The state of Virginia is now considering tbe matter. of disfranchising her illiter ate blacks. The Richmond cor responden t of the New York Sun says: 44It is under stood that Senator Daniel has drafted a measure which ' will be on the line of exempt ing from disfranchisement all persons or tbe descendants . of all persons who have serv- d their state in war. The object of this would, of course, be to take in all illiterate Con, ederatesand their descend ants, while the provisions no der which it would be done would be broad enough to admit the veteians of all wars, white and black." It is said that Senator Dan iel's idea is to avoid some of tbe alleged dangers ot the North Carolina suffrage a- mendirent. If such is the act, we fail to see where his proposition wiU improve the situation. The North Caro- ina plan is invincible unless the courts essay to consider the intent of the measure. Should this be done the Virgin ia scheme does not appear to improve on that recently rat ified by the people of this State. The object of both is ro disfranchise the ignorant negro without touching the illiterate white man. If the courts will hold that a meas ure is void because they be lieieit was intended to do something prohibited b,r the federal constitution, notwith standing the fact thatitdoes not do so in express terms, then Senator Daniel's propo sition would go down with ours. But it is contrary to com- non sense to suppose tnat any court would assume to take such a position as this. Courts do not consider in tents. They must pass upon measures in accordance with what they 6ay. World's Champion. "i tried many remedies to cure pill's," writes W . R.
