Senator Hale Speaks Against the Blair BilL Tie Suitors ifflro Ttat Iky DM lot Dtnlje tie Secrets. Vominatloos Mads and CesHrawd Doinga of tte Boom. Wumiictoi, Mar. 7 Dolph has told his fellow Senators that he will not ask that the executive session be held this afternoon, an 1 the Senate is proceeding with the con sideration of the caleodar. A meeting of the special committee charged with the doty of investigating the executive sessi >a leaks, will be held this; afternoon, for the purpose, it is understood, of agreeing upon some substitute for the resolutions proposed by Dolph chat will be acceptable to the Senate. A number of public buildings bills on the calendar were passed, and at 2 o’clock the Blair educational bill was taken up Blair replied to some of the criticisms of the bill. He insisted that the republican party was pledged, in its platform, to the passage of this bill, and predicted if that party failed to make good its pledge the fact would put an end to the party. Hale addressed the Senate In opposition to the bill. Eight years ago it had been launched on the Senate, and from that day to the present, it bad been persistently urged and as persistently opposed. The Senator from New Hampshire could not complain that the bill had not received the earnest consideration and attention in the Senate, or tbat it had not been brought repeatedly and measurelessly before the country. One thing was noticeable (and the Senator would admit it), that the rising tide had been all the time against the bill. Blair—I do not admit anything like that, ^uite the contrary. Hale—If the Senator will take the ex pression of sentiment by educators and pub lic spirited, patriotic men, the United States Senate will admit what I have asserted, that he rising tide it against the bill. When I rat voted on by the Senate 11 senators roted against it. In the last Coogress the j II increased to 29. Many senators who roted for the bill on the second occasion ivowed at the time the bill had received the a»t support it would receive from them. Blair claimed the apparent discrepancy >etween 11 and 29 was no such real dis- J :repanc> as appears, because many more lenators were paired on the first vote than in the second. On the other side, as among he people at large. (I do not mean to say is the utterances of a manipulated press nought shout by the agency to which I 'ormerly alluded in this debate,) this bill s constantly gaining in strength and there lever was a time when it was so deeply j noted in the hearts of the common people if the country as today. Hale—No doubt the senator believes hat. He cannot deny that the support j rhich the bill had at first has fallen away n the light of observation and reflection. n my own State, when I first voted against he bill, there were expressions from the >ress, ducators. clergymen and gentlemen if intelligence and education in favor of he bill, and great regret was expressed by riends of mine at the course I had taken. roday the press of Maine is opposed to his bill, educators are against it, clergy- uen are opposed to it, and the course pur- ued by my c dieague and myself, in voting gainst It. has received their support and >jminv7idation. Tlie support that ban fallen iff from this bill, the opposition that has leen Increased, the rising tide to w hich I eferred, can only come because observa ion and reason ar*- against the bill. I lisle said at first, t^mp'-ed by the largess i iffered in the bill into supineness and yield- I ng up the Interest in the local common ichool education, as soon as the South had een the bill was not likely to receive an turned iate passage it turned loyally and ■aruestly to the ta«ts report prevented by threats to prominent members of congress of anathema of church jn them and families. He was not mis taken as to the source from which most of the misrepresentations at the North had ?ome. The Jesuitical power of the coun try had decided that the way to get control jf schools was first to get control of press. The press had received its full share of attention, and had manifested its full share jf subserviency. He ha 1 a letter from a member of the New York Press Club, ask ing for a copy his speech, so as to learn lomething about the bill, showing that even L newspaper roan in New York conld find jut nothing from the press about it. New York papers were monopolised the worst kind, and country papers had been per verted and poisoned by them. Even the republican party in the North were induced by misrepresentations, tc turn their back an the national impulses of republicanism ind oppose the bill, but when it got the facts, as it would some time, the truculent press would tell a different story. After a short executive session the Sen ate. at 5 15 adjourned till Monday. Bualneaa in tha Boom. Mr Haugen of Wisconsin, in the Honse, from the committee on elections, reported a resolution in the Alabama contested elec tion case of Threat v*. Clark. The resolution which was unanimously reported, decides Clark entitled to retain his seat It was adopted. The Speaker laid before the House the Senate b-.il referring to the Court of Claims the claim of W. E Woodbridge for the use of his invention of projectilee for rifled cannon. On motion of Mr. Simonds an amend ment was adopted providing that all persons having claims or interests adverse to those of Woodbridge, may appear and defend the same. However, the bill was defeated. The House then went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. In commute of the whole, took np the bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to poy »K5 000 to Albert H. Emery of Connecticut, in settlement of his claim for the use of the testing machine invented by him. After a long discussion the bill was laid aside to be repotted to the Honse with a recommendation enacting the clause to be striken out. This recommendation was reported bat no Anal action was taken. At 5 o’clock the House took a recces until fi. The Honse at the evening section passed 50 private pension bilk, and aft 10.30 ad joaraed until tomorrow. Oat of tho ludicrous raoalte of Aa khan of the Senate committee, which ii investi gating the leakage of the ext rativa—iuu, ia the sealing «p process, which if paing oa all over the north end of tho Capitol. There ia a space of about thrao foot bo tween the inner and outer doom of An gal leries, and the walls again* which Aa doors swing have, in seven! places, been i badly cracked. Especially was Ala true of the preso gallery walla. Failing to discover how As secrete of the executive sections became public from the correspondents, tho invastigntioa commu tes tamed its attention to tho peace gallery, and discovered the crevicee aforesaid. The walls are only about three feet thick and the cracks are barely discernible by the aid of a lantern. Bat the secret was oat The correspondents mast have obtained their information through this source, and so a plasterer was hurriedly seal for and given strict orders to plaster up the cracks. He did so, bat if has not prevented the secret from leaking oat, and As commit tee are banting for farther opportunities to give a plasterer tome work to do. rBnm Cob Mbs tho Money Tho sub-committee ef the House World's Fair committee met a delegation of Chica go's representative business men tonight, and become satisfied that Chicago has a bona fide subscription of $5,360,000 and can readily raise the $10,000,000 guaran teed. The government was not asked for anything, and there was no eafgsstiou that it should do any more that giee its name to rhe fair, as the exposition is to be interna tional, bat that it should provide a suitable governmental exhibit, though even this lat ter was left entirely with congress. The question of having the fair in 1892 or 1893 ts also left entirely to congress for decision. The outside limit of the governotent appro priation is $1,600,000. Thu Surplus la Only $20,000,000. The Secretary of the Treasury purchased >ver $2,000,000 of U. S. bonds today, and thereby reduced the available surplus to ibout $20,000,000. As the Secretary is iisioclined to reduce it below $30,000,000, t will be seen that a few repetitions of to lay’s operations would result in a tempo ‘ary suspension of bond purchases, at least io far as the 4 per cents are concerned. Secretary Windom said this afternoon that rhile the present state of the surplus would isrdly justify him in continuing the daily mrchase of bonds to the extent of today's ifferings, he did not at present see any ne eeeity of a change in the financial po'icy. low tha Senators Tbemsalvsa nr# Put on thu Stand.

MODUS VIVENDI. Condition of FUtcitM Reported tc Canadian Parliament. Ottawa. Mar. 7.—The Canadian fish eries protection service report was present ed to Parliament yesterday by Commaadei Gordon. R. X. The fleet numbers sever steamers. The modus rtresdi, which ex pired Feb. 14 last, was more largely taken advantage of by United States fishing vesseli this year. In the early days of the work of fishing protection, most of the friction which occurred was the res lit of infrac tions of customs regulations by fishing ves sels. These regulations had been practi cally in abe}acce during the :erm of the old Washington treaty, and were only re vived by the abrogation of the fishery clauses of that treaty. In this respect there is now no trouble. The masters of foreign fishing vessels understand all the require ment* of the law, and willingly comply with them.

The Puinplog .Station la also wholly an addition to the valuation of the city. Many believe that, under the term* of the exemption to the Edwards ’ornpany, the pumping station could not legally he taxed hut the company has not made this point. Indeed It has never made the slightest attempt to escape taxation, hut cheerfully ac cepted the valuation which the Board of Assessors placed upon it notwithstanding the fact that It was higher than that of any water company in the State. Aside from the great general benefit to Augusta of an adequate water supply, our citizen* have the Water Company to thank for a greater security from fir* losses than they have ever enjoyed l>cfore, a fact which has reduced the insurance rates annas lly on Water street alone more than #2,000. The pl|«e of the Togo* line of the company lies wholly on private property for which it Is obliged to pay j rental. Not only doe* the Water Com pany give Augusta the lowest hydrant rental enjoyed by any city in Maine, but by the term* of its contract it furnishes free of charge wat r for the following purpose*, viz: for testing the fire appar atus for a public fountain in Monument f’ark. for *lx watering trough-. for •lx drinking fountains; for flu-hing •ewers; for building-or room* used by the city for city purpose*; for drinking purposes In the school houses along the line of It* pipe in the village and Wil liams school districts; for all school pur pones in the Cony High School; for sprinkling the street*, ami for other pub lic purpose*.

Editor a of tko Kennebec Journal:— I notice in the Lewiston Journal of laat Setarday a communication from Boa s' ebolas Fessenden, a member of the State Valuation Comm ssion. ia which ha said: “K carding this question of raiuati— and taxation, tive true object to be attained, as I Stew it. Is twofold, equalised valuation and the lowest taxation possible—to reach these »-nd* two general theories are advaac *• cash valuation on which to assess a State lax 1 came to this conclusion from the assessor’s valuation of property known as the estate of Emily H. Abbott and occa pied by uiyself, and other property in the vicinity. Now Admitting that the Commissioners btke the valuation as determined by the Town Assessors for th*ir line of valaes. wh«*n they com* to tbit line of 1881 made by the (’omnilstiooers with this wide differ ence, what will they do? Wait for the men with sharp tools at the bottom to level up wittj .id and bring all to the upper tine? 1 think no’, but they will immediately put *ceam *h .ve!s at work and level down to t; e line of demarcation and when ti e pickers hod all th* gold let them bring it up to the line and have it taxed. I kave no doubt nut whi«t there is as much or more work to he done below the line as above, and that i* what I intended to be understood as say ing when the gentleman asked me if I would 'rnit of levelling up as well at down. He says:— Hit let us see! The situation it prac tically tins Town property, because visi ble. while not overvalued, is valued more nearly at its fair value than any other class of property, and stands at the top end of the *tr:og; money, because invisible, it un de rvatiicd and at the same time placed the very farthest from its fair value and stands at th* bottom end of the same string—while between the two are ranged all other clast of property—esc:* after its kind. Now commence to level down; first level down the farm valuation, then with due regard to the equities of the system, level down the valuation of the others, and when all have b*-en equalized downward to the money level will tazes of any sort be lets, by r*a •on of it. or will such an equalization give any permanent relief? It would seem as if there could be but one opinion. On the other band, if til other valuations can be leveled Up to the farm property standard, which is out too high m the abstract, will rot such a movement produce at one and the same time a just equalization and a I jwer tax?" I am at a loss to determine from the above which the gentleman means, a town >r a State valuation. If a town, it makes no difference for municipal purposes if the valuation is high or low, if all property is valued at a certain percent, for the amount he raised determines the per cent, and then* i* no difference in a high or low val uation, for municipal purpose* but it makes (Terence in this, the lower the valuation of f-trrns and houses and all other property 'he more tux money has to bear, for the rate per cent- is higher, it will affect some towns but lut!e. and some it will affect con siderably So when towns increase their valuation they relieve the money men and put the »ax on the farm property, and in crease their State and County tax, as from nee ■ssity the State valuation is determined largely by the town valuation. I made a complaint to one assessor in Vassal boro that our valuation was too high. IIis reply was that “It did not make much iiff-reuce for we get it back in the mill tax \t the last IJ. 9. census the enum erator call 'd on me and asked the usual question of values, i replied that it was n.possible for me to determine values His re pi* was: “Well, be sure to make t in hi tnm ,bo.i UO miW*» «ho» to* ■sou of Ttb*w*7 to have bees four or five degrees warmer (tea in normal tern peraturv. with frtfMtt ieflcieocra ia pre dpttatioo. bat no strenfiy prevailing le pnitnra tram tho average ia this r*sp*e The enow fail was deficient, the only gen eral snowstorm being #a the Ifith and SAb. daring the central imsege of the mala eyHems storm of the month This was foiloeod by a culd wave with mini mu a* tom perl ere Morally near or below aero »a the SSad. whoa tho presence of enow probably caused a lower fall ot temporal or* than oa the other cold speila of tho 7th a**d 16th.

Seymour, were killed by dogs oa tbe nigbt of tbe 15th John Haw kins lost twelve on the same night, and it is supposed by tbe same dogs It costs more to regaia a pound of flesh lost than to produce it, as the loss of fl.‘sh indicates something wrong in the condition of tbe animal. All classes of stock should be kept thrifty, with a view of a constant increase and early sales. Don’t be afraid of sunlight. It bears beating on its wings, aud nothing can live without it.

A IfEW METHOD OF TREATING DISEASE. Hospital Remedies What are they? There is a new depait ure in the treatment of disease. It con sists in the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and Ameri ca, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob tained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for caring ca tarrh waa ptocured, and so on till these in comparable ooret now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheu metitooi and a«r*o>u dobilitj. This new method of “one remedy for one disease” mutt appeal to the common seuae of all sufferers, many of whom havi experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realise the abeurdity of the claims of Patent Medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.

Sink or swim, this spring I shall keep out of jail. Yours obediently, Villi bbs. King of Tramp*.

He is a young man full of life and en thusiasm. and finds it difficult to be idle when there is so much work to do, and who can say that there is not need for Christian work in Augusta? Realizing in a measure this need, he has been moved to take active steps for the sal vation of the young men of Augusta while here. He has arranged for a Msle Quar* tette and orchestra at the 4 P. M. service. Every young man in Augusta is invited to be present at this meeting. There will be a meeting of Christain men 1 Saturday evening at 7.30 o’clock, also Sun day at 3 15 P.

He will leave Au gusta Monday morning to fill engagement throughout New England and Canada, and does not expect to return to Augusta beg fore sailing.

To us at ibr north it seems so odd thing to do up our mid summer sewing, wbiie the March wind is piling ap snowdrifts against our doors and wind iws. But we ought to thank the makers of fashions who so kindly place within cur reach, mid-summer fashions for wash fabrics while we are lees cumbered with care thao perhaps many of oa will find ourselves at any other time until another year r *s been added to our years.

I.unch cloths are plain white, or white with ecru or red borders. Smaller lu ch cloths are in plain linen finished m three rows of drawn work. Fringed tray-cloths in damask with Gre cian border, have a design stamped in each •orner These designs can be worked at home, thus giving as good satisfaction as a much higher cost cloth ready worked. Finger-bowls nnl cake-doylies are in great variety. both plain and stamped, each having a design different from tbe rest of the set. These should be worked in outline stitch in the wash silks the color of the sev eral flowers. Napkins are from twenty to thirty inches square. Initials are still worked on them. Centre-pieces are still fasbiouable. They may be oval, oblong or square, white or col ored and finished io hemstitching. Curving cloths should be about a yard square A monogram mav adorn tbe upper corner. Mats akd Kras. I am a great admirer of matting as a cov ering for floors, but if the plain, light col ored kind is used it has a cold, bare look unless there are a tew bright mats or rugs on it. Very pretty mats may be made of such cloth at is used for men’s and boys’ clothes. I have one made in this way: I cut pieces the shape and sixe (except that I ma le them one inch wider) of a brick, hav ing eighteen of light brown cloth and seven teen of gray. The mat is five "bricks" wide and seven in length, alternating in colors, first a brown and then a gray block. Wherever four corners join I made a star with red Germantown yarn; around the mat there is a border of da^k brown cloth of the same width as one block, and on this border a pattern is outlined wita red and olive green f Germantown Outside of tbe border deep scallops are set. cut from black beaver cl -tli a star being worked with red yarn in the centre of each 'allop, and the mat is i lined with old carpsting, although any heavy good* may be used. A large variety of the** cloth mats may be easily made, sod I *h»ll be glad to tell of other ways if the readers desire me to —Cottage Hearth As we think we may safely decide th*y do.

The rustless process, which lias b*-en until lately an experiment, has now demonstrated that great economy can be uoed, not only in iron pipes, but in every article where iron is used. Over 2.CKK), 000 kettlea have been subjected to thia process in Pittsburg. The method ii very peculiar. After the article is made it is put into a furnace made in an oval shape, air tight. After the iron has at tained almost a white heat, the air that come* through the regenerators and air valves is shut securely off. and the fur nace is made air tight. After the air has been shut off the superheater, which is located in the combination chamber at the rear of the furnace, and at right an gles from the nir valves, is opened, and the furnace is filled with steam and kept in that condition for eight hours. At short intervals a small valve is opened, so a* to allow the exodus of steam in the furnace, allowing freeh steam to be put into It. When the articles have been about ten hours in the furnace there has been accomplished the formation of magnetic oxide upon the iron surface. They are then put into an acid well, which is the last treatment.—Exchange. Scaly Skin Diseases Pssrtaslt II pears, csvsrla| flare, heart, sd entire bsdy with white ecabe.

A ItraiiKcr ffbut* Title Produced prise In Tenueeeee. A dignified looking stranger entered the ticke* office of the St. Louie, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad yee terdav, and stated that he wished to rhaae tickets for himself and family Texas, and also wanted to se cure rates for the transportation of a carload of household furniture. Col. Harry Wilson waited on the gentleman, and ascertained that his name was Mar tin. He negotiated a trade with him for the tickets, and referred him to the freight office on Monroa street for infor mation about freight rates. As the stranger displayed a goodly role of boodle it was incumbent on Col. Wilson to treat him with the considera tion due his importance, and so he told Billy to take the colonel over and intro duce him to Mr. Bartley, and he took care to lay the accent on the colonel. Billy got the stranger safely over to the freight office, and in his politest manner presented him to Will Bartley as follows: "Mr. Bartley, allow me to introduce to you Col. Martin.” The stranger drew himself up haught ily, and striking an attimde, with his right hand over his left breast pocket, said: “I am no colonel, young man; 1 am something higher than that.” “Excuse me; 1 meant to say briga dier,” apologized Billy. “I have u higher title than that,” said the great man. Billy was equal to the occasion, and came again with “1 really meant to say major general, you kuow.” He was knocked out again, however, by the supposed officer remarking with heightened dignity, which, however, was softened by a quiet, amused smile: “You have not got up high enough yet,” “You must he the commander-in-chief of the army,” suggested Billy in a doubt ful sort ofdone, hut the stranger par alyzed hiui^by the announcement that he if id a slid higher tale Bi»i was stumped, lie thought the dis tiu.-r-..!died visitor was no other than the |*i 1 lit travelling in cog., but h dis missed that idea, and then his curiosity got the better of his reverence, and he blurted out: “Well, who are you, any way?” The stranger softly replied: “I am a minister of the gospel, air." and Billy fainted (lead away, while Will Bartley made a l ulf rate for the divine on ac count of his high title.—Memphis Ava lanche. of Flonor. England, which is rich in gentlemen, furnished, in the beginning of the pres ent century, a good model of that genius which the world loves in Charles James Fox. who added to his great abilities the most social disposition and real love of men. A characteristic anecdote is re lated of the celebrated orator and states man A t ides mail who had long dunned Mr. Fox for a note of three hundred guineas found him one day counting gold, and demanded pay in Ait of his long due note. “I cannot pay you now." said Fox. “I owe this money to Sheridan; it is a debt of honor. If an accident should happen to me he has nothing to show to main tain his claim.” “Then,”said the creditor, “I change my debt into a debt of honor,” and tore the note in pieces. Fox thanked the man for hi* confi dence, and paid him, saying: “His debt was of older standing, and Sheridan must wait.” Fox whs the lover of liberty, friend of the Hindoo, friend of the African slave; he possessed a great personal popularity, and Napoleon said of him. on the occa sion of his visit to Paris in 1803: “Mr. Fox will always hold the first place in an assembly at the Tuileries. Youth's Companion. HI* Prmyer Answered. A certain Chicago coal man enjoys nothing more than he does a romp with his two pretty boys. After supper ev ery night lie has gTeat fun with them. One evening last week his wife was taken sick, and he cut short the usual romp, much to the disappointment of the boys, who had l>een looking forward all day to his homecoming. He told them it was time for them to go to bed, and. like obedient boys, they walked off without a word of remonstrance. Silent ly they disrobed and prepared to retire. The larger toy said his prayer and found his way between the sheets. Then the little fellow knelt down by the bedside, uttered his prayer and added: “Please, God, make papa funny some more And the father, who had been waiting just outside the door to see that they retired all right, overheard the petition and went in and gar© his two boys another great romp. The little fellow then re tired in the firm belief that his prayer had b» n answered.—Chicago Herald* A Out’* Worth.
