Dec. 12 Yesterday was a field day in the Senate much to the delight of the crowds, which not only filled all the seats but thronged the aisles of the public galleries. It was a demonstrative and Democratic crowd applauding Senator Harris so vigorously for instance, that Snatur Hoar threatened to have the galleries cleared. The Senator from Massachuettshad asked Senator Harris, who had expressed a willingness to facilitate busi ness, if he was willing uow to name a time when a vote could be taken on the elections bill. Not until every Senator on this Bide and on that side," said Senator Harris, "who wishes to speak, has been heard to the lullest extentJofihisdesireB." "Then the Senator does not propose to facilitate business!" s lid SenatorJHoarJwith a smile. "I do not propose" said Mr. Hirris, "to deny to the repre sentatives of sovereign States the rights to the fullest debate of every question that efEects their rights and their interest." These two declarations elicited such a storm of applause that Mr. Hoar apealed to the Chair to preserve order, and Mr. Mor ton announced his intention of clearing the galleries if the ap plause was renewed. Mr Vest then asserted that no Democrat iad ever ask ea that the people be rejected from the Senate, and he asserted that applause for the Republicans had been allow ed to go unrebuked an insinua tion that Mr. Morton imme diately repelled, so far as it might relate to him. This was but one of tbe many incidents of the day. The Republican leaders are very much opposed to a recess during holidays, but it is very doubtful whether they can se cure sufficient votes to carry a resolution to that effect. The leaders on the Republican side appreciate the necessity of uti lizing every day of the short session, ana are therof ore mak ing every endeavor to navetne House to meet everyday during the holidays. Even should a resolution for a recess defeated, the question of a quorum pre sents itself. It is feared that nothing can keep a large num ber of the members in the city, and it is against this situation that the managers will have to contend most strongly. Maj. McKinley said yesterday, "I am strongly opposed to a recess if we can succeed in maintaining a quorum. The financial situation was diHcussed at a meeting of the House Committee on UanKing and Currency yesterday. There was a general agrccrmnt mat twiiiie measure lor tne restora tion of confidence in the money market should be passed by Contrreaa before any measure of a radical nature for perman ent relief should be considered. The result of the meeting- was an agreement to direct Mr. Dorsey, of Nebraska, the chair man of the committee, to ask the House to grant the commit tee a day next wetk for the con sideration of a bill for the re tirement of national bank cir culation. This action on the paitof the Committee indicates an evident disttosition ou the part of Congress and of the best men in Congress to set aside all irrclevent . and unimportant matters for the great and sole purpose of easing the financial condition of the country; and it is gratifying to note that of all the measures proposed to this end, there are none that con . a a, .a a template a reckless or ir redeem able inflation of the currency that miirht only make a bad mattar worse. What with the amelioration secured through the combined deliberation and experience of the Ilepresenta tives 01 tne neopie at tne capi tol, aided by the counsels of able financiers from witnout, ana the more liberal legislation that is likely to follow In various VVHVr dVIIUMMV MUVitlVIUl " V may expect the business of the country to swing into its normal ttlaco more strongly equipped and on firmer foundations than ever before. Senator Hamptons defeat is much talked of here and the reasons for the same discussed. Manr prominent Democrats think that the defeat will have the effect of checking the polit ical revolution in South Caro Una. When the farmer's or Tillman movement was in its in fancy its opponents charged that its success meant the dis an 11I inn nf the Democratic party and the retirement of uch lead ers as Wade Hampton and Sea ator Butler. ' After the election, when it became definitely knowp that the Tillmanites you'd have control of every branch of the State government, the talk of electing an Allianceman to sue ceed Senator Hampton was be gun. It met with considerable opposition ironi tnose wno inad been warm supporters jt Oot. Tillman, and the Governor hint self felt called upon 'to make an elaborate explanation as to why it would not be a breach of faith to return Hampton. This has been done, and it remains to be seen what the people Of South Carolina will do to resent, what many belive to be - a breath," of faith. Senator Hampton ' wi jl retire after a long and honorablje public service. lie has never distinguished himself by going outside his party lines to accom plish legislation.' but he has done nothinsr to brincr dishonor ou his name or tarnish therepi- uiaiion 01 nis oiaie. , : The President has approved the act attaching the county of Grayson, Texas, to the Eastern judicial district of that State-; the act authorizing the construe! tion of bridges across Engli6l Bayou and Calcasieu River1. Louisiana, and the act. for a road from Alexandria. Va.. to the National Military Cemetery near that city. , f ANOTHER 8HAKI NCUUP; South Carolina Must Work out Her Own Salvation. ! fbilodolphia Tlawo ; i - . The election of Irby to the Senate from South ' Carolina is the natural sequel of the elec-i tion or unman as Uovernor; rby is Tillman's lieutenant.1 bearing to him somewhat the re ationtnat Riddlebereer origi nally bore toMahone when that schemer overturned Virginia.' He is an adventurous fellow. with a record not unclouded. and he has served Tillman well, who made him Speaker of the louse and now made him Sen-'. ator. " j 1 1 South Carolina has suffered a' terrible retribution for the poll-' ticai errors 01 the past, but. her humilation ia not yet v uded. The old leaders have not been able to adapt themselves to the new conditions, as they hate done in Georgia and Alabama, and yet another shaking-np has been necessary, that naturally has brought much scum to' the surface. . - ' If Wade Hampton had been a younger man, with greater physical vigor, there is no doubt that he could have withstood the storm, as Gordon, did, for the South Carolina 'Tteople re spect and love him. . But he has neither gone into the new move ment nor resolutely fought it, and he has fallen by the way side amid universal regret. The meaning of all this is simply a breaking away from party restraints and the old aristocratic traditions, and a general political confusion, out of which South Carolina is once more to work out her own sal vation. Men like Tillman and Irby have their uses,, just as Mahone and Riddleberger had, who have passed intorobivion. They must play their part, but South Carolina will eventually tako her place in the advancing columns of the ew south. A Woman's Rare Courage Mrs. Ueorage Hash, of Alsea Valley, Ore., has more courage and presence of mind in the face of danger than the average wo man. It is only sparsely set tled in that neighborhood, and wild animals are auite Plentiful. One day not long since Mr. Hash was absent from home, when a large cougar came into the door yard of his residence, where the children were playing. The animal was evidently hungry, and had imagined a small boy would make a good square meal. But Mrs. Hash espied the cougar when but a few feet from the children. She took down the Winchester rifle nuicker than it took, to tell it and shot it through the hams. This di not kill the animal, but forced it to retreat. It climbed a troe near by. and Mrs. Hash and faithful dog kept it there unti Mr. Hash returned and com plet ed the killing.' It measured six and a hair feet.

' , x H AKRIBUKQ, pn :Dec. . 9. The Grangers are holding the larg est; convention here To the his tory of their State organization. Their annual meeting is being held in the hall of the uouse. i Worthy', Master f Rhone, who has filled that position fori nine years, delivered his?annual ad dress; J He claims that ; all the important legislation in the hi terolf fitagriculture for, fifteen years been secured through the aou-partUan. -Influence, of the lirange, -namely : 1 he - correc tion of ths extension Df patenfjs on sewing machines; curtailing the powers . of transportation companies by making them sub ject to the control of the govern ment: restricting the sale qi elemargarine-by national law and preventing its manufacture and sale in this State; the driv ing out of this country of alien labor; the passage of the inter state law; the establishment of the Agricultural Department at Washington; the increase of the appropriation to public schools from $1,000,000 to 2,000,000, and the' "procurement of many im portant change in the State re venue law. Also the creation of the State Revenue Commission, which has just closed its report to the State Legislature, and the es tablishment of a co-operative trade system - through which farmers can purchase direct from manufacturers and impor ters. J , ' Mr. Rhone adds that through the Grange tariff currency ques j tions will be settled on a just and regular basis, and continues: That the agricultural class oi the country is sorely depressed, argeiy the result ot pernicious legislation. I greatly regret, is only too true; it is indeed a sol emn fact. That real estate has been on a steady and rapid de cline in vaue from the same cause is equally obvious. The depression is so great and general that not 1 per cent, of farms of the State are holding their own and paying interest on the investment." Speaking of the alleged discrimination in the tax laws against real estate, Khone says: "The injustice of egisiation which perpetrates such glaring frauds upon the gricultural class is too appar ent to require comment." A WORD FOB THE M'KINLEY BILL. Concluding, Rhone says: "The Grange occupied a conservative position upon the question dur ing tbe exciting controversy which grew out of the tariff dis cussion, lhe represntatives of the organization insisted that if tariff for protection was to be the future policy of the govern ment, then the farmer had the same right to protection on his productions mai me manuiac tures and other industries were to receive. "If tariff for revenue Only, then the farmer would have to compete with foreign produc tions and the manufacturer with foreign manufacturers. In a word, the Grange, standing no on the immutable principles of our order, insisted upon equally the same protection for the far mer as other classes were to re ceive, lhe result has been the passage of the recent act b; Congress. What the exact el ect of the law will be upon the business industries of the coun try cannot yet be fully deter mined. Indifferent. X. Tort Iter. - A stranger coming to New ork is shocked when he sees the first New York funeral pro ession. especially if he is from aforeign country. The hearse and its train of carriages, rattl ug over the pavements at race euurse speed, are very different from the solemn, slow-moving corteges of even our country town, and are inexpressibly horrible to the foreigner.1 In 1'aris, when a funeral is passing persons in view of the proces sion remove their hats and re main uncovered until it passes, and in London, Berlin, Vienna, Koine and other important cit ies. funerals are treated .with rehpectful consideration. But hero we are indifferent to them as loner as they do not occur in the circle of our own acaaain tance.

GROWING BETTER. CENTURY OF TIONS. INVEN The Marvelous Strides Made Within the Past Hundred Years. Cliio'goTim.i. The present century will be memorable in history as pre eminently the age of inventions. In no other century of the world nas tho inventive genius of man been so alert or its efforts been so signally rewarded as in this. in J801 steam was successfully applied iu navigation in Scot land, in 1807 Robert Fulton made his trial trip up the Hudson in the Clermont, and, eleven years after, the Savannah reached England from America after a voyage of twenty-six days. From that day to this tho time between England and America has been steadily decreasing. until now it is less than a week. Proportional advance has also been made in other directions. What the Savannah of 181G would bo to an "ocean grey hound" of to-day, the scythe and pruning hook of 1818 would be to the reaper and mower with which the farmer in 18U0 rode around his fields and har vested his crops with ease. The streets of Birmingham, England were first lighted with gas in 1802, and those of London iik 18H. The first cable railway was patented in 1808, and elec tric and elevated steam railway have since been added in large cities to secure rapid transit. Lithographic and steel engrav ing, printing by electricity, tereotymg and machines for making paper, and other inven tions have made the press one of the greatest if not the great estagents of civilization. In 1820 the first railroad in the United States was built, and to-day Europe and America ara traversed in every direction with railroads lines. In 1835 Profes sor Morse transmitted messages by telegraph, and now Europe and America are door neigh bors and exchange gossip and news every day. lelephones, phonographs sewing, knitting and weaving machine and thous ands of other devices for short ening distance, making work easier, and life more comfor table, are to-day in operation, and still invention goes on. In stead of the Oriental habit of accepting things as they are, and living as his father did, every American and every Euro pean seems to ask whether he cannot improve upon old meth ods and old appliances. This restless spirit of improvement has not stopped with mere ma terial sucress, whose chief value seems to lie in making the con ditions of physical life better. he material advance and the conquests of science and inven tion have reacted upon the moral, intellectual and spiritual environment, and despite the astcrtion of pressimists, the world is growing better. Serf dom in Russia, slavery in the United States and in the British possessions have been abolished. Conservatism has been es tablished on the continent of Euroite. and the last monarchy of tho New World has given place to a government of the people, for people and by the people. Ia matters moral" and religious the advance lus been scarcely loss marked. Bigotry and fanaticism have given wav to broader conceptions of hu man duties and relations. Pov erty and crime I have not been abolished, but a clearer concep tion of their causes has led to more intelligent means of re' leving the one and preventing the other. In the labor world the advance has been io great as almost to constitute a revolu tion. In all the thousands of vears of recorded history labor scarcely made the advance it has nchtved in the present ceti tury. Not only in hours work. but also in remuneration, hociu position ami political tniwer tin laborer of to-day is on a plane immeasurably above that oc cupied by the masses in the past, t or tins great result Am erica and Australia are entitle to the greatest credit. Kesmm sibility and power educate. nn with this enlightenment of the masses the reign of the hereto' fore privileged classes has ceasd. Ignorance can lie misled to its detriment under the influence of catch-words and false issues but the voters of America, Kng land, France ami Australia hav now passed that stage. En liirhtvninent means freedom and bv means of the press, free schools, the telegraph and rapid transit this enlightenment takes place on the great questions with a rapidity which party lead ers themselves scarcely realize, as so convincingly shown in the recent battle of the ballots,, in which the party that had es poused the cause of monopolists and trusts as against the inter ests of the people met such an unexpected and overwhelming defeat. But great as -has been the progress of the world in re cent years, the future will wit-, ness grander triumphs. Every material advance will sooner or later bring its moral equivalent. The more perfect and rapid the interchange of thought ' and sympathy between the nations of the world the greater will be the advance. Pessimists and dotards should be relegated to the rear. Hope and knowledge, the energy and the will "to strive, to seek, and not to yield," are the watch words of the fu ture. THE CONOUERER CON- OUERED.
