The dean chose as his text: “Tnere lawgiver.” A brief synopsis of the sermon follows: Danici Webster grandest text in the bibl have heard the great lawyer's exposition of it. But doubtless ho learned its trath first in itis communings with nature, He was an avdent sportsman, and, walking the banks of crystal streams or threading his way through tho forests or climbing to the tops of rugged imountains, he came into touch with the (fod of nature, He felt the power of divino law, or busied as hewas during those troublous days of his political lifo in hetping to weld together the contheting in- ferests of tho states into a cmonious whole ne realized that there is one law- giver 10 shaping the destiny of nations. Or in bisown personal life, conscious of his woakness and ir tion, ho cast himself under the domination of Him, who makes our character strong and noble.

Chairman Springer of the houss committee on banking and cu intends to have general banking measare lald before the house immediately after the dizposal of the tarift bill and pushed to immediate action. He believes that he can have it reported from the senate committee on fnance in ad- vance of a report from that body upon the tariff bill, 80 as o get it iuto law before the tariff is taken up iu the senate. “It is the height of wy ambition," said Chairman Springer to your correspondent today, “to have my banking bill rise above party lines and endorsed by republicans as well as democrats, It stands alono as a means of continuing the national banking system and making it of such elastic and ex- pausive character as to be not only a benetit to those engaged In it but the country at large. I have drawn the gav or Tue Ber, } fire of the nerth against it by providing that wnere snall be received no bond from any state, county or municipal organization that has ever forfeited wterest or repudiated a debt. Under the provisions of my bill there ave in existence only about the par valuo of $1,000,000,000 worth of civil bonds which coutd be accepted by the Treasury department as security for national bank circulation, ana I do not think there will be more than £500,000.000 worth of theso bonds deposited. That would give us about $450.- 000,000 more of the circulating medium, 1 propose to allow bauks par value of cireula- tion on government bduds because those are rapidiy goiug out of existence and command a premium so high as to make circulation based upon them unprofitable. “'State bank circulation at best would have to pay local taxes, while circilation under the provisions of my measure would be exempt from taxation of every character. Texempt it from taxation because the se- curities upon which it is based aro taken away from home and deposited hero in Washington and are not under tho coutrol of the owners. Our national banking tem is the safest and best for the country of any that we have ever had. A national banker, as well as a state banker, has enough business sense to_refuse to take out any more circulation than he is compellea to issue unless there is some profit to him; and it is therefore absurd to talic about placing such restrictions and burdens upon national bank circulytion as will make it unprofitable to the bankers. We want to take care of the commercial interests of the country, want u currency medium elastic and broad enough to meet all securing the holder and the banker, must get above this little local idea intend to accomplish -anything which will guard against such destructive currency famines and panics as we have recently ex- perienced.” : May Never Bo Passod. At a glance it would seem n to an im- possibility for the Wilson tariff bill to pass the house in any form, while a close study of the interests affected by the measure leads to the conclusion that if there is any patriot- ism or principle or, representative spirit among democratic Senators the measure could not get through the upper branch of congress by any hook or crook. Tt is simply & question whether men in the house and senate care more for tho gen- eral theories and principles and sophistries of the democratic party than thay do for the welfare of the men wno have elected them to their seats. After hearing the complaints of those who are stricken severe biows by the propositions in the bill—and one can hear them in Washington as nowhere else— it would seem that if the democratic mem- bers of the ways and means committee had studiously striveu to strikedown the inter- ests of American labor and producers and raw material at home and elevate all of these in England they could not have suc- ceeded better. As in the action upon glass, where the articles representing the greatest amount of labor were cut the deepest, aud those representing tho least labor were hed the slightest, all through the bill labor seems to have been stabbed and pum- meled and trodden undec the feet, while there has been an eye single to the interests of raw materials and labor abroad. Symptoms of the Revolt, While for party sake and to stand in with the administration there are probably not more than one-third of the democratic mem- bers of the house, and, possibly, not more than one-fourth of the democratic senators, who openly denounce features of tho meas- ure, or the bill as a whole, one can learn from private conversations and expressions of opinion, dropped incidentally, that fully two-thirds of the democrats in either house of congress have objections to the bill so ser- ious as to guarantee their negative votes if they are not coerced by thy adginistration or party ties. T'exus, which 13supposed to be the leading free trade state, has at a late moment flown into urms against free wool, and her oppo- sition to that feature of tho measure is so revolutionary as to compel her free trado representatives to aunounce in private, if 1ot in public, that unless some duty is placed upon wool they must vote against the bill. I'ree wool is the cardinal principle of the democratic varty, having been th? leading aati-tariff plank in the platiorm for many years, and i stricken from the bill, if 1t is to any degree to be a representative party measure. Local Interests Aroused. As is woll known, the Alabama members have demanded that some duty be placed upon coul ana iron ove, as their state will be ruined if those provisions in the Wilson bill which placed these articles upon the free 1ist become luw as they stand. Much to the surprise of every one, the members from Virginia swung into line with the Alabamans, and are making the same de- mand. It is believed that before the iinal vote is takon on the billin the b tho West Virginia delegation will be forced mnto line with Alabama and Vivginia, as thei coal and iron intexcsis avo threatened with destruction. yvery democrajic member from the Pa- citie states fluds, sorjous fault wivh the duties levied upon, fryits, and declices that less they are xalsed vheir votes will be ugaiost the megsure. The Louisiana ation demungs a dutiable proteccion to sugar, New Jersey, Counecticut, Massachusetts and New York ave leaging the revolt against features of the bill, which strike down anufacturing inkorests. It Is openly as- vied that every, democratic member from New Jersey and Connocticut will vote against the bill on ifs final vassage, and that they aro not simphy’ donteniing thomselves with demands for amendments. 1t is not lieved that u demeckat from Penusylvani will support the billpi its fiual passage. Farmcrs AWholly Igaor Democrats i tho house from states bor- dering on the Canadiun line ave having a hard time to explain to their constituents why it is that the bill brings theiv favmers 1nto free competition with Canadian farmors. [ggs, butter, potatoes and vavious other products of similar character ave in the f 1ist, or 80 nearly so that the slight sop to the farmers will ot save them from ruination One naturally asks himself in Washing. ton, after hearing so many bitter criticisms from democrats, who does find in this bill any merit! Tho representatives from most of " the interior—that is, the ultra-free trade | representatives—are sutisfled with the bili us it is. And, strange to say, the however, who are naturally freo traders, populis! support the bill, sl would have it more ultra, even though it does deliver sledgo hamuor blows at the farmer. Democratic senators from the states named as having vrowsting representatives in the house find | bractically the same fauit with the bill for the same reasons, and it would seem that, if thers is auy principle in these men, or they cure ba'f as much for home loterests as they do for party policics, the Wilson bill must fail when plased on its final pussago Westernars in Washington.

An il- lustrated description of this systom was published in the Western Eleetrician on March 25, soon after the flest public ex- hibition was made in the Home Insur- ance building in Chicago. At that time it was announced by the gentlemen in- terested that tho telanto, ) was com- pleted and ready for the public: in fact, the instruments described in the col- umns of that paper wero sent to Jackson Park and~operated succossfully during the period of the fair, but Prof. Gray himself was not satisfied with the ma- chines and wished to still further im- prove them. A considerable number of the instruments had been wade, but the munufacture was stopped to await the result of these later experiments, and now the unnouncement is made that a greatly improved instrument has been = produced. The strings at- tached to the transmitting pen- cil, that caused some difi- oulty in writing, have been replaced by small rigid steol rods that have no ten- y to pull the pencil away from the who can now write with the easo, and the pencil may be dropped upon' the paper at any part of the writing ficld. The switching ar- rangement in the transmitter has also been much changed and improved. But the most radical” improvement is in the receiver. The outside appearance of this instrument has not been changed, as the same cover fits over both the new and old reeeiver, but the interior ar rangement has been almost entirely re- placed. The motor that was used to shift the paper and drive the mechanism, and mude such an unpleasant humming noise, has been done away with, and tho great number of adjusting points that added much to the complication of the old machines and required much expert attendance, have been reduced to one. The mechanism is also much simplor and the cost of production will probabl be a third less than formerly. As a re sult of these improvements the writing speed of the teluutograph has been greatly increased, and in actual test -fwo words per minute have been written, as against about thirty- five, which was formerly tho rec ord. [his is much faster than the majority of business men can write, and, so far as speed is concerned, there is nothing more to be desi These new experimental instruments have just been finished, and a few of them will be manufactured for a thoroughly practical test before they are placed upon the market. The company has a very complete fac- tory at Highland Park, Tll., thoroughly equipped with special machinery and tools to manufacture telautographs on a large scale, which it expects to start up about the first of the vear. In tho mean- time the prospects for the new tem are most flattering, inquiries being con- stantly received from forcign countries particularly. A great success is pr dicted for it in China, Japan, India and those countries whero hicroglyphic alphabets ave used, as the natives will be able to telegraph their own chi- rography, and negotiations are now pending looking to the carly introdue- tion of the new system into nearly all of these countries. A number of local companies have been formed in the United States and are waiting for in- struments with which w commence business, and it is thought that by spring this demand can be supplicd and the latest electrical marvel started upon its commercial career, ——-——— Burdotte on Gvmnasiams, Boys generally get their due quota of exercise; at the same time they can never get too much, if not of a too se- vere nature and taken with some meas- ure of moderation, writes Ellen Le Garde in a valuable article entitled “A Gymnasiuwm at Home,” in_the January Ladies’ Home Journal.

FiremoNt, Jan. 7.—[Special to Tie Bee, | — The question of ditches more than ever be- fore is agitating the people of the Platto valley. The experiment of the Standurd Cattlo company with beets on the very low estlands that had for ages been simply frog swamps, has opened the eves of the peoplo to the valuo of said lands, and those who are possessed of them aro working earnestly to create a sentiment in favor of general drain- age. In the vicinity of North Bend several ditches are proposed, and that earnest and indefatigable aavocate ot drainage, R M. Allon of the d, has alreaay had surveyed, at his own expen: ral routes in the neighborhood of the In a re cent interview Mr. Allen said: “One thing is entirely certain, and that is that if the ovstruction to the construction of ditehes is uot overcome, and if certain land owners are not willing to sacrifice a faaciful objection and which has no real weight in itself against tho enterprise, this valloy must bo contented to plod along as usual, raising only slough erass and rushes. Iam certain that no conservative business man will ever contemplate seviously the erection of a beet sugar factory or the culture of boets on & large scale until he is assured of all the pro- tection ivom floods that human foresight cay supply.” Some of the adve proposed Fremont canal, with Sur- trews, went over tho proposed yesterday and were very much en- couraged wish what they saw. They are confident that the route is feasiblo and tnat ivcan ba constructed at a cost of less than half the former estimate. It was thought at first that it would be necessary to go up the river as far as Morso biuft, but it is now believed that a sufiicient powor for all pres- ent and anticipated demands can be so- cured by much less distanco. The canal is to be thie coming issue in Fremont, as drain- age is in the countr, ates of the Work of Auburn.
