ern Senator who bad j"st left the
Vhite" House, where he had been iu-
, i i i t :.
viled to attend a conferem-e, uis not
pr judiced against t'.ics;dn o irats who
are opposed to his financial polky as
far as ithas been unnouiiced;' and lie
is fully aware of the extent of this op
position iii the westjmd sooth. He be
lieves that the wisdom of first repeal
ing the purchasing el.ue of the SLur
man silver lw, which has been so
greaily ilefJoUiw:ed by the business men
of Uie cun,trr, and which ws explie-
itTy. pruiiied. by'fiie t?k:j.tgo pbjttorm4
will l to apparent alter the eivure n
uancial policy of his adminis
tration hall have been made public
that all divisions will soon be fdrgottetr.
The firt step to be taken is, in his
opinion, to stop the purchase of silver;
but he bears no ill-will towards those
who differ with him, belieriug that
they are as honest in their belief as he
in his. The only reason that he has
not aunouncedjthe , financial policy of
his administration is that it is not yet
fully determined upon. Mind you, it
is no task of a day, a week or a month
to reconstruct the financial system of
a country f 65,000,000 people, which
has been growing from bad to worse
under republican legislation, until it is
today as bad as it could well be, and
financial reform has become the most
urgent necessity of the time. Grover
Cleveland has proven himself to be a
man worthy to be trusted, and I can j
see uj reason why every democ at
should not repose the most implicit I
trust in him in this emergency, even J
if thir personal opinions do differ froi j
his as to the me tns to bo uel to reach !
the desired end the restoration of
prosperity to the country at large, njf
to a few favored men, but to every-:
liodv. I am, and have always been,
what -is known as a silver man, but I
hall unhuitatiuly vote for the un
conditional repeal of the pun-hosing
clause of the S'lerman silver law."
The House added amendment nftt r
amendment to the new rules reported
by the committee on R iles, until they
stand us adopted almo-t the sameas tl.ey
were in the lasS House. Theoretically
no'de nfcral finds an) fault, with the
lilnTality with which the rules treat
of the minority, but th re is reason to
tear that when the tariff bill, the bill
for the repeal of : the Federal election
livs, and other treasures against which
the republicans will be deposed to filli
buster, gets Ixjfore the House they will
be found too lenient towards the mi
nority. It is an old and true maxim
that "the devil must be fought with
fire," and many think that it would
hare rn wisdom to have followed the
precedent, set by the republicans in the
Fi'ty-first Congress and have made the
rules stringent enough to control th
minority when it was so desired.
'Much ado about nothing" is all the
talk about the votes in the Senate this
week. With twenty Senators abseu
the silver Senators defeated Senator
Vorhees on two propositions one to
go into executive session while Sena
tor Stewart was making his long
speech, and the other to adjourn. The
votes have absolutely no significance
as far as the final reu!t is concerned.
The situation stands precisely as it did
before the bill will be debated a rea
sonable tim unless an agreement is
reached setting a time to vote, and
then an attempt will be made to
force a vote. To say Iiom that
attempt wii result is merely
to express an individual opinion or tc
make a guess.
Since President Cleveland made an
address at the opening of the Pan
American Medical Gng ress, now iu
Ression, there has beep' a decided "let
up" on the silly storiqs about his being
in bad health, stories which never had
any better foundation than the imagi

J vThere is one good thing bout yet
tinrr stnnff hyj a heeJ It makes yon
forjret all other tronhlea for a little)
f while. I have, hadt lots of fun with
. these bumblebees for. the last few days
j and it renewed my youth. Time was
when I thought it a biff thin? to fight
! "yeller jaeicets'V ana take my chances
with the other boya. The bravest boy
1 was the bigg-est fool and would stay at
the hole the longest and thresh all the
' leaves off of his "brush and get stung
-before he surrendered. I am not that
j brave now. and T fight with exceeding
r caution, but I have killed over two
hundred in two days and fought fair
- and square, ily weapon U a crum pan
and I take 'em coming and going,' but
they crowd me sometimes "and 'my
antica attract attention amOuff the
nabora,,for they can see me in the up
stairs piazza, and one good lady in
quired if Major Arp was subject to
fits. The bees come out where the
weathcrboarding Joins the floor and
my repeated' assault have made them
mad generally. Up to this time they
have stung every member of the
family, even to the litUe grandchild
who lives with us, and I'm going to
exterminate them If it takes all sum
mer. We tried hot water, but it will
not reach them. Just think of that
poor little ohild going round with
one eye closed and afraid she will
lose the other one; and Mra. Arp'a
head all swelled up with two bumps
that a phrenologist couldn't diagnose.
AVe can't sit in the downstairs piazza
with any security. It is a bigger
thing right now than bimetallism or
free coinage or the tabernacle meet
ing. In fact, it is a relief from poli
tics to fight bees and study them In
the books. I wish the editors would
hold up awhile and go to the woods
and fight yeller jackets or wasps or
hornets and get stung a few times.
It would-be a relief to the country and
I have heard that such stings are good
for rheumatism or any nervous affec
tion and I know that it takes the con
ceit out of a man for a while,
My book says that the proper name
Is "humblcbee,"' but there is no hu
mility about these at my house
There are from 70 to 300 in a colonv
and bo I know 1 have nearly whipped
the right. They live only one summer
and never rebuild in the same place.
The books say there are three Winds
the masons and the carpenters and
the diggers, but what they are good
for I don't know unless it is to make a
man more willing to quit this world
and prepare hinyself for another. If
there were no snakes and tarantulas
and stinging things and deadly con
'tagionti and demagoguges and thieves
and fusses we wouldent want another
world.
The little honey bee is a trump and
a wonder from Btem to stern. It is
good to ruminate about their wisdom
and skill and their government. Jubt
think of one queen being the mother
of 20,000 and controlling them all
more absolutely than any human
mother controls her children. Just
think of 10,500 workers and only 500
drones in a colony. These drones are
the gentlemen, and remind you of our
gentlemen loafers and swells who set
about on the piazzas of the hotels and
watch the girls go by. But the drones
don't enjoy themselves but a month or
two. The queen gets tired of them and
gives her orders and then the massacre
of St. Bartholomew begins. In an
hour's time every ono is slain stung
to death by the workers, and their
puffy, bloated carcasses dragged out
and tumbled on the ground.
There is no little thing in nature
more wonderful than the honeycomb
that these little workers make. Its
mathematical construction gives the
most spaced with the least enclosure,
the arched top and bottom of every
eelL the exact and uniform thickness
of every division, and the wisdom
shown in shaping the whole store
house to suit the shape of the hive, is
Indeed, marvelous. Then there is the
division of the workers into brigades
and regiments and companies some to
gather honey, some to make, wax, some
to build cells, some, to stand guard,
some to wait on the queen and be her
escort as she move around, and a
whole regiment to keep their winga crisis is upon us, snu every wu. in

BILL ARP.
EON. J. S. HESLEES0N'8 VIEWS.
The Wilson and Voorheei Bills.
Charlotte Observer.
The staff correp ndent of tho ObseFv
ver, in his talk with me a few days ago,
misunderstood some parts of the con
versation I had with him. I am not
a
'unalterably oppos d to the repeal of
the purchasing claute of the Sherman
liw." I voted against the Wilson
repeal bill, because it not only pro
vided for a contraction of the currency
to the extent of soir.e $50,000,000 per
annum, but it also removed from the
statutes of the United States any au-
' horitv for the coinage of silver. The
Voorhees bilh,now pending in the Sen
ate, does not go this far. It repeals
the "purchasing claufe," but does not
repeal that part of the Sherman act
vhich directs that the Secretary of the
Treasury "h all coin tf tha silver bul
lion purchased under the provisions of
this act, as much as n ay be necessary
to provide for the redemption of the
Treasury notes" therffn provided for.
"The coinage value of the silver bul
lion stored in the Treasury vaults
amounts- to nearly $200,000,000. I do
not think the bill whit h is to become
t law will prevent the coinage of. the
bullion in the Treasury.
I have never favored obstructive tac
tics b prevent the pas.-age of the re
pealing act. I think cne week's dis
cussion in the House, ii stead of two,
would have been sufficient, and I have
already hoped the Senate would come
to an early vote. ' .
With regard to the tax on State
bank notes, I hope I am mistaken, but
I do not believe there is !ny prospects
for the repeal of this tax by the Fifty
third Congress, wheiher ihe President
favors it oiuiot. The pre vailing belief
is that he does favor it. The Presi
dent may not recommend :t, but he is
also said to favor an incou e tax.
My views upon the cuireney ques
tion are well known, and I have seen
no occasion to retract them, but I am
perfectly aware that good men and
gni Democrats can conscientiously
