Ex-Speaker Grow is a Goldsmithian states- man, too. While “Lo, the poor Indian,” was up for discussion in the House Mr. Grow ruthlessly brushed the noble red man to one side, and delivered a carefully prepar- ed speech on the tariff. That Pennsylvania ground-swell came too late to enable the ex-Speaker to participate in the regular tariff debate, and as he could not go be- fere the people of Pennsylvania next fall without a tariff record in this Congress, he must, perforce, make that record as best he can. That which brands him a Gold- smithian statesman Is the famous and o' worked couplet from “The Deserted V lage:” fares the land to hastening ills a prey, woalth accumulates and men decay.” It is probably but just to Mr. Grow to say that had he been in Congress during the extraordinary session when the pur- chasing clause of the Sherman law was re- pealed, and during the regular session, when the tariff bill was on, he would not have made use of those lines. Because nearly every second man who delivered a prepared speech, no matter what side of those questions he was on, thougnt his not @ finished production until he had garnished it with “Til fares the land,” etc. It ts astonishing that so many congress- fonal statesmen confine themselves to those | two lines when there are many rich gems that may be culled from so short a work as “The Deserted Village.” There comes the suspicion that, perhaps, they have not read that immortal work, but having heard those two lines so many times, they hav found safe lodgment in memory’s store- house and are thought fit for use on almost Vhat our congressional friends need is an edition of that work ppro- priate to the different questions that will erise in debate. In iiew of that it propriate now to give, “for instance,” Quotations for them. Here is one that has not been used in this Any statesman could have employed it with crushing effect on either side of the tariff question, the repeal of the erman purchasing clause, or the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the money issues of state banks: “Ye friends to truth, ye statesmen who sur- vey, The ich man's Joys increase, the poor’s lecay, "Tia yours to judge how wide the limit stands Between a splendid and a happy land.” It is not yet too late for Mr. Hoar to hurl across the Senate chamber at the senior from Delaware, for instance, or versa.

I am not surprised, sir, gentleman from Texas did not | it it F at i Hf. thet continue his quotation from Goldsmith, for the very next lines would have placed him hors de combat before this Senate. Sir, I will continue the quotation: “But f-dependent power can time defy, As rocks resist the billows and the sky.’ ” (Prolonged cheering in the galleries and on the republican side of the chamber. The Vice President is under the painful “ne- cessity of once more reminding the galler- ies,” etc., but he does not say a word to the noisy Senators. In the midst of the uproar Senator Mills makes his escape). Mr. Hudson of Kansas will no doubt take the floor when the question, “The Capitol grass; how to preserve it,” shall come properly before the House. Plutoc- racy, Wall street and the minions of the law will go down before his relentless ot torical reaper, and for his peroration shall have these four lines from Goldsmith, with the word “Coxey” substituted for peasants”: “While scourged by famine from the smiling land, The i aacag Peasant leads his humble band; - And while he sinks, without one arm to save, The country blooms—a garden and a ve.” "* vhen Mr. Walker of Massachusetts was talking for a better system of ventilatin, the hall of the House he was “pestered’ considerably by the somewhat ex-watch Gog of the treasury, Mr. Holman. When Mr. Walker asked, “How do you account for the headaches so prevalent in this House?” the House went off into a fit of uproarious laughter. If Mr. Walker had then had the presence of mind to say, after the restoration of order: “Mr. Speaker, the scenes which have been enacted around me, by the gentleman from Indiana and many others, since I rose to address the House, being forcibly to my mind an apropos quotation from Gol th’s ‘De- serted Village: “The watch dog’s voice that bayed the whispering wind, And a loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind,’ It would have required the combined efforts of Col. Ike Hill and the Roman fasces to restore order. Mr. Aldrich can warn his democratic friends in the Senate that shortly after this nondescript tariff bill shall go. into effect as a law the lines of the immortal bard, Goldsmith, will find verification in this country: ““Proud swells the tide with loads of freighted ore, me shouting folly hails them from the shore.’” There seems to have sprung up a mild antagonism between Mr. Enloe of Tennes- see and Mr. Quigg of New York. The next time they have a “run in’ Mr. Enloe should bide his time till Mr. Quigg has made a particularly happy hit and is receiving the congratulations of his republican co! es. Then he should repeat, with dramatic e! ‘ect, these lines from the same work: “‘And still they gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knewr" Mr. Quigg will rush out to the telegraph office and decline a renomination in ad- vance. It does not now occur just what use can be made of the following quotation, but no | doubt some member will find occasion to wither some other member with it before the end of the present session: “Village statesmen talked with looks pro- found, And news much older than their ale went round.” The solons on the bill should commit the foregoing quotations to memory. They will have frequent occasion to use them. And the source from whence they came is rich with many similar gems. J. L. KENNEDY. The Unterrified Undergraduates.

Reports from Frederick relative to the movement on feot there to erect a monu- ment of imposing design to the memory of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner,” Francis Scott Key, for so long a time a resident of Georgetown (where he occupied the old mansion on the south side of M street near the Aqueduct bridge), are to the effect that most encouraging local success is being met with. The ladies of the town have combined with the Francis Scott Key Association, and are working with a zeal to build the fund up to a necessary height. A systematic manner of collecting has been adopted. There is a strong feeling among the advocates of the movement, though, to have the project assisted by others than the citizens of Frederick. They say t ow wrought by the immortal ode of tl lead belongs not alone to the citizens where his body rests, but to the nation at large. The nation should therefore do him hon A mite from the largest cities would suffi to erect a memorial that would re! credit m the states.

The officers will be installed by Grand Master John H. Wood next Friday night at 8 o'clock. Turning Lights Out. To some of the residents of town lighted gas lamps have of late proved so annoying, Particularly when they are located in front of the windows and doors, that often the flames have been turned out. This, though, in every case has caused a fine to be levied against the company by the Commissionérs, and the company, in turn, has deducted these fines from the wages of the lighters, who are heid responsible for all such irre; ularities. The head lighters get but $23 month, and every deduction tells strongly on such a salary. The Commissioners as- sess the ccmpany 2 cents an hour for every lamp reported out by the police. This month the fines amounted to nearly The company will put ground glass in all lamps where the light shines annoyingly, on application. Another Jumper. Aldifer, the jumper from Fort Myer, was imitated last evening in his Aqueduct bridge feat, Wm. Wardell, an employe of the Electric Light Company, taking a plunge from the footway to the water be- low at 7:10 o'clock. Three hundred people witnessed the jump. Nothing was gained by the man, however. He took the down- ward leap merely to exhibit his nerve and to prove that there were others about as brave as Aldifer. Wardell was costumed in a close-fitting bathing su! was struck with such force as to bruise considerably the breast and face of the jumper. He swam to the Georgetown shore, though, without much difficulty. Notes. Coal in big quantities is on the way to Georgetown from the George's creek region, consigned to Agnew & Co.

Alleged Attempt to Work Off Inferior Castings on the Government. M. H. Bickley, president; Frederick Balt, superintendent, and James T. Anderson of the Penn Steel Casting and Machine Com- pany were arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Myers at Philadelphia yes- terday, charged with conspiracy in per- petrating frauds upon the United States government in furnishing steel gun cast- ings. ¢ The affidavit upon which the arrest was mat charges that on or about May 18, 1804, the defendants conspired to defraud the United States by duplicating the official stamp of the inspector of ordnance and in subjecting specimens already stamped and separated for castings for test to treatment different from that received by the cast- ings, which would result in delivering to the United States castings of a quality in- ferior to the specimens of that quality re- quired by the contract of said company with the United States. The defendants were given a hearing be- fore United States Commissioner _ Bell. Lieut. W. Irving Chambers, who made the affidavit, the first witness, testified that he was assigned to Philadelphia as an inspec- tor of ordnance. A part of his duties was to inspect the castings made by the Penn Steel Casting and Machine Company of Chester for the United States government. He testified that this company had a con- tract to make for the government what are called oscillating slides for 5-inch guns, pivot stands for 5 and 4-inch guns and top carriages for 5-inch guns, all of which are parts used in mounting these guns on United States vessels. Lieut. bers then explained the method of testing castings. e testified that on each casting there was left a small excess of material, about an inch square and six inches in length, which was called &@ coupon. It was this coupon on which the test was made. Before it was broken off the casting it was stamped with an anchor. “In May, 1804,” testified Lieut. Chambers, “I noticed that the characteristics of the metal in their castings were altogether dif- ferent from what they had previously been, and I became suspicious that the coupons were being tampered with. On May li I stamped a coupon on the end with the anchor stamp; to be tested it was necessary that the coupon, which was square in cross section, should be turned on a lathe, round, and this necessitated the removal of the stamp from the side to the end of the cou- pon. Previous to this I had ground off a ring which was on the upper part of the anchor in my stamp. “After stamping the coupon with this mutilated anchor stamp, the coupon was turned over to the Penn Steel Company people to be turned. About half an hour later, when it again came into my posses- sion, it was quite hot and bore these marks (showing the steel coupon), which is a very clear impression of an anchor, not the one I put on half an hour before. This bar failed to come up to the requirements. I then took a piece of steel from the tie-rod for testing purposes and marked on it two ring accurately the distance mj; when this piece of steel was returned to me, after being turned, ‘the dis- tance between the anchors had increased by a quarter of an inch.” At District Attorney Ingraham’s request the cross-examination of Lieut. Chambers was postponed for the present and Lieut. John H. Gibbons, stationed at the Wash- ington navy yard, testified that a lot of castings received there from the Penn Steel Company, which had been previously re- ected, were again sent to Washington with aew numbers and with the old numbers partly obliterated. The hearing was continued until next Tuesday. THE CAMPBELLS ARE GOING. A National Guard Company te En- camp at Sparta: s “Interest in the forthcoming trip and en- campment at Spartansburg, 8.

Every- body knows him better as Dune, though. When a sixteen-year-old boy in 1859 he went across the country to Pike's Peak, but came home when the war broke out and entered the service. When the ruction was over Karns went to Parker's Lan: and engaged in the oil business. About 1873 he struck it right. Oil was over $2 a . and Dunc had one well that spouted 2,000 barrels a day, besides interests in others and he soon became a millionaire, He ‘was the most progressive man in that*regton. He started the Exchange Bank at’ Parker's Landing; built an iron bridge over-titesate+ gheny there; built a railroad from: the*pitsod to Karns City that was named aft and from the latter town to Butler, and put Hi up a pipe line that cost over $300,000. spent money lavishly in every direction helped every friend who needed a lift, well as every stranger who struck his fancy. Wnen he built his pipe line, though, he bucked up against the Standard Oil Company. That settled him. He refused to compromise and his money all went in the fight that ensued. His history would fill a couple of books, and his fall from riches to poverty has never phased him. He's about as energetic now as he was when he was making $10,000 a day and had a dozen race horses in his stables, and private residences scattered all around the Pennsylvania oil country. “Now that the summer excursion season ig in full blast and every boat that is en- gaged in carrying pleasure seekers ts load. ed to its full capacity, the question of lif preservers is paramount,” Stiles, who used to command a big Ne’ York excursion steamer, at the Arlington last night. “There is entirely too much carelessness in the management of these Necessary articles aboard the majority of excursion boats. Nine out of every ten of them carry the preservers in cleats under the deck roofs, fore and aft, and they are jammed in so tightly that it is almost as ard to pull one out as it is to draw a tack with your teeth. Some boats have a plan of carrying them piled up against the sides of the cabins on the decks, and this plan is better, although in a panic the | crowd struggles so to get at them that | very few succeed in reaching the piles. | Life preservers should be kept wit arm's |reach of every passenger on an excursion | boat or any other craft that carries large | crowds, and the laws and regulations gov- erning their distribution on board should |be explicit and carried out to the letter.

It also has timo cape-like attachments that extend like | wings when a person is in the water,which are also filled with cork. The ribs of the coat and these capes resting on the sur- face of the water assist to make the wear- er buoyant, and I understand they are go- ing to be adopted in Great Britain for use on all water craft that are compelled to carry such life-saving appliances. I can well imagine how efficacious they must be. And then think how simple their arrange- ment to the person is, for everbody knows how to put on a jacket “The man who goes off on a hunting and fishing trip should be acquainted with the primitive modes of cooking , his game, as sometimes his lunch gives out, falls over- board, or disappears in a variety of ways, and then his interior department begins to | holler like a populist at a political meet- ing.” It was Tom King, the well-known veteran sportsman, who helps to hold up the official dignity of the internal revenue bureau, who was speaking to some novices with the rod and gun, at the Riggs House, ard he proceeded to give them some valu- able pointers. “Of course the wise man don’t run the risk of going hungry, but it is mighty easy to add to the pleasure of a quick snack if we only know how, Some day when you go a-fishing, and manage to catch something, buiid a red hot fire on a flat rock, just before the time you get ready to eat lunch. When it has burned merrily for about fifteen minutes, take a fish and | elean it and then brush the fire away from the rock, biow off the dust of the ashes and Slap your fish down on it. Turn him over And over to prevent burning, and in a few minutes you will have a broiled piece of ecstasy that will make you treat every. other fish you may have in your bucket or creel exactly the same way. When you are hunting in the fall you can enjoy a bird with your luncheon as well with very Uttle trouble. Of course you will stop to eat your snack by a spring, and in this country there is usually a good deal of clay in such localities. Get a few handfuls of clay and moisten it until it becomes thor- oughiy plastic, then draw a bird and.pack the clay well into its feathers amd,gover it about an inch thick. In the meantime you, will have built a fire. Just drop the.clay- covered quail into the hot coals, cover it/ up with fire and let it stay there about} fifteen minutes. Roll it out and break it| open. The feathers will all come off with the baked clay, and you will have a bird cooked in its best style, natural juices ha aped, Knowing how to do these things adds a great deal, I as- sure you, to the pleasure of sport, and a couple of fello can have @ great fun in preparing such sylvan feasts.” “Lightning has been cutting up some queer pranks in my n@lghborhood this sum- mer,” ‘said Dr. Ernest Bailey of Lewiston, Me. at the Ebbitt last night. “Scores of houses have been struck and their occu- pants stunned, while several people have been killed. The subtle fluid, however, has seemed to delight in comedy as much as tragedy. On Great Chebeaque Island two places far apart, belonging to two brothers named Hamilton, were struck almost sim- ultaneously.

But the strangest freak of all occurred at Fair- field. An engineer, named Holt, was asleep in bed when a bolt came down the chimney and set on fire the pillow beneath Mr. Holt’s head.

Coasting vessels are the favorite craft for the tramps. They manage to get aboard just as a boat is about te rail and hide themselves in the hold, where they stay until the tug that pulls the vessel out casts off and leaves her, when they make their presence known.

PULLMAN SAYS. It is a Fight of the Railroads Now, Not His. George M. Pullman, the president of the Palace Car Company, yesterday at Chi- cago specifically defined the position of his corporation in reference to the boycott aad railway strikes. This is the first time the Palace car official has granted a personal interview to a representative of the press ce the railway strikes ~“'The strike is no longer « fight against Pullman Company alone,”- said Mr. man. “It has spread and grown beyond us, until now the Pullman strike is « sub- te feature. The ratlroads are now trying whether or not they have the right to control thelr own roads and manage their own property. While the strike was confined to our company we at no time asked the railroads to assist us, and when & few days ago the general managers of the great railroads centering in Chicago decided to oppose the American Railway Union they aske@ neither advice nor as- sistance from the Pullman company. It was plainly, distinctly, and decidedly their fight, 4S Was patent to everybody, “In reality this movement is a demonstra- tion of anarchy, Here are men organized and banded together, att and cuceav- oring to crush institutions which are neces- sary to and operated for the welfare and convenience of the general public. We have jone all that could be di that we uld Go, at Jeast-—for the comfort and wel- fare of our employes. As high wages were in these hard times. “So far as I can see, there was nothil left undone for the good of the men it was in our power to do. The railroads laints and grievances of the employes of the Pullman shops, and perhaps care little about them. Taese railways are now fighting for the right to conduct the management of their own lines. That is the point at stake, and it may as well be settled at the present time a, an the Pullman company distressed or embarrassed?” ot at all. The railroad men will prob- ably goon realize their position and come to their senses. Already at St. Louis and Ludlow, where the men were ordered froin our shops, they are to return to their places.” “Have the railroad ies asked the Pullman company to end troubie?” ‘hey have not.” Do you anticipate any such move on their part?” “Not at all.” What President Debs Says. President Debs of the American Railway Union has issued an address to the railway men of America, setting forth the causes and objects of the present strike. In his address he says: ‘The struggle with the Pullman company has developed into a contest between the }producing classes and the money power of the country. This was what Lincoin pre- dicted at the close of the war, and it was this reflection that gave the great emanci- Vator his gloomiest forebodings. We stand ‘pon the ground that workingmen are en- titled to a just proportion of the proceeds of their labor. This the Pullman company de- nied them. hea “Reductions been made from time to time until the employes earned barely suffi- cient wages to live, not enough to prevent them from sinking deeper and deeper into Pullman's debt, thereby mortgaging their bodies and souls, as well as their children’s, to that heartless corporation. the American Kailway Union and the Pull- man company. The American Railway Union resolved that its members would re- fuse to hagdie Pullman cars and equipment ‘Then the failway corporations, through thi general managers’ association, came to the Fescue, and in a series of wheroases de. clared to the » and stand by him in his devilish work of starving his employes to death. “The American Railway Union accepted war, and thus thi one lo between the foray ‘eonpeee tee united solidly upon the one hand and labor forces upon the other. Every railroad employe of the coripany should take his stand against the corporations in this fight, for if it should be lost corporations will a = apport re all employes will us @ condition scarcely remo: above chattel slavery. 48 I appeal to strikers everywhere frain from any act of violence. Lat there be no interference with the affairs of the companies involved, and, above all, let there be no act of depredation. A man who will destroy property or violate law is an enemy and not a friend of the cause of labor. The great public is with us, and we need only to maintain a dignified, honest, straightforward policy to achieve victory. Let it be understood that this rema: able strike ts not ordered by myself or any other individual, nor is the strike inaugur- ated anywhere except by the consent and authority from a majority of the employes themselves. Nelther is this simply a fight of the American Railway Union. The ques- tion of organization ought not to be raised, but every man who believes in organized railroad labor should take his stand on the side of labor and its battle for his rights and those of his fellow-men.” ooo LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, The Reversible Mattress Has just twice the service in it as bas the “one-sided” mattress— because it has cotton on BOTH SIDES and at the ende—the one- sided mattress has cotton on one side ONLY.
