Criticizei Inaction of Senate and Is Mildly Chided by Senator Hoar. Washington, April 21.—Speaker Heed gave an interesting talk upivn the policy of the House, and incidentally declared his views upon the labor organizations, today, in the course of one of the con ferences which are of daily occurrence in the Speaker's room. A delegation from the American Federation of La bor, headed by Samuel Compers, the chief officer of the order, called to re quest action by the Speaker and the House cri matters in which the federa tion is interested. They presented a memorial asking the appointment of 1 It presenitative Gardner of New Jersey, to the committee on labor and also suggested amendments to the S-liout laws. The speecbmaking on »h part of the federation was done 11\ Mr. Compel** and P J. Maguire. Mr. Gompers said Hint tier*- was great distress throughout the country and many unemployed and ex pressed a hope that Congress would do all in its power to alleviate the distress. He remarked that then had not been as much I* gislation In the interest of labor i*y the last Congress as th* laboring man wished. They did not want to b in th* list of making demands on Congress: they merely desired to express their wishes. They regretted that the eight-hour law was not more strictly enforced in its ap plication to government works. They desired it to be understood, how ever. that they were antagonistic to revo lutionary leaders and believed in lawful and orderly agitation and in tile improve ment or existing conditions by legislation. Speaker Heed, in r« ply. expressed ap preciation of th* moderate and reason able attitude of tin- laboring man. The labor organizations, lie said, was a r.e complaint that t "ti gress had not done enough for labor. Mr. Keed said that remonstrances had In rn received by him complaining that Con gress had been too much under the domi nation of the Federation of l,abor. This fact would illustrate that then* were con flicting ideas in the country. In conclusion. Mr. Keed expressed his approval of the policy adopted by the Federation. A continual and constant pressure within the law was much more effective in securing reforms than violent methods, he said. Violence always brought a reaction and the reforms sought were likely to be lost In the tur moil of the outbreak. A cry of deep distress has come to the war department from Mississippi. A tel egram tame to the war department, to day. from a committee headed by Rev. L. Smith, declaring that many of the negroes in Tunica county -and the adja cent country were in great straits and suffering for supplies, which their em ployers refused to allow them to secure, on the ground that it would amount to an interference with the labor market.

A play ■au be communicated to London and a reply received in Washington in three minutes, it is said. The attorney general has rendered an opinion to the secretary of the treasury in which he holds that under the joint resolution of Congress suspending the op erations of certain parts of the immigra tion laws so as to admit foreigners to i>e employed in various capacities in con nection with the Nashville. Tetin.. Ex position, the secretary has a right to limit the number to be so admitted. There has been some discussion of the probable programme of the Democratic members of the llnanee committee* with reference to the tariff bill, and it is learned that while these plans are not definitely matured, they intend to have a reasonable consideration of the bill in committee and believe that they will have the sup|»ort of Senator Jones of Nevada, upon any fair proposition they submit. It is learned, today, that in the changes made in the tariff bill by the Semite sub committee. the rates in the metals sched ule have been made very close to the present law. and tl** same is said of the cotton schedule. The report of the naval trial board upon the official speed trial of the battleship Iowa has just been submitted to the sec retary of the navy. H shows that the ship made a speed, with all allowances made for tides and other interference con ditions, of just 17.N71 knots. As tin* con tract requires a speed of Hi knots and pro vides for a bonus at the rate of $200. inn) Im*r knot above that figure, the (’ramps will receive a premium of $374.-oo. IN THE SENATE.

What Sheriff Poole's Wife Says: Dover, Me., March 1, 1896. Mr. D. H. Buxton, Abbot Village, Me. Dear Sir: For many years I have been a great sufferer from rheumatism. I had tried all kinds of medicine but without finding any which gave me re lief. My joints were attended with a great deal of soreness. My stomach was badly affected; I had strong symp toms of sciatica. The rheumatic pain combined with neuralgia made life a burden. My muscles contracted and I became alarmed about my condition. Last spring I saw your medicine ad vertised and concluded to try it. After taking three bottles all pain left me and my joints and muscles began to straighten. My stomach grew rapidly better and as I continued taking the medicine the neuralgia in my head en tirely left me. I am 68 years old and have not been so free from rheumatic pains for 40 years as I am at present. I have taken 10 bottles and feel that it has done wonders for me. I would recommend it to all suffering from rheumatism. Respectfully, MRS. ZEN AS H. POOLE. For sale liy all druggists.

River Divers and River Drivers. A careful reader of a paper published in a city noted for its salmon pool and a c rack in Its city hall, yes. and other J things, may have noticed of late that the only river drivers on earth come from Bangor. No one blames the Ban &'or publications for booming he® in dustries. No one ‘will Question the right of some river drivers that we have seen pass through this city, to hail from the insaneless city, but we do take exceptions to the intimations that Bangor is headquarters for the river drivers of Maine. Sometimes you can tell where a river driver ocrr.es front by lookin.fi at him. The Penobscot is not the only river cart of the Ilocky mountains, there’s the Kennebec, for instance, known the country ever for her able cant-dog men. The Kennebec is loaded down u- jth fiood men. They are the bone and sinew of a fireat industry. Their dad dies were before them. When a man in New Hampshire or Vermont wants fiood men for the drive he starts his agent out with these instr uctions: ‘Mo down on the Kennebec and hire every man you can. I can rely on them. It you cannot s» cure enough for our pur pose go dow n to the Androscoggin, tm s'i. Croix or Maciiias rivers, and get th* best of them.” No one ever hears of a Bangor river driver only when he e passing a railroad station. All up and down the beautiful river made historic by Arnold in his march to 'Canada—he l ever once thought of the Penobscot— there are men who have brawd the turbulent stream,—"bubble-jumpers” very one f them—men who have faced the dangers of the landing, the rapids and 'the fails many times, and they are going to do so some more this year. Yes, siree! the Kennebec river man is a prize, he is sought out by the lumber kings, and when he gets into his togs for the season's work, he is a man after the lumber king’s ow n heart. Speaking of the "come down" in th.j wages of tire river driver from those (if years ago when m n, go I men re ceived from f*0 to $5.00 per dh-m. brings home to the write r that h was once a cant-dog man on the Kennebec. In those halcyon days when pay was g; od, there was a vast different' in tin manner in which the \v ok was carri i on. There were two distinct class* s »i liver drivers. Tin e was the class that "rolled the shores,” "sacked th rear," wo rked "dry jams" and were "signals" ever bad places. Then there woe thi men who hired to do "white water" work. That is, when a jam formed in a bad piece of water, in s me danger ous pitch of falls, this latter class were the men who were sent nut to "crack the jam." Here the work was danger ous. The logs must be dug out, rolled out or cut ut. and when a jam war worked "tender" all but two or tin a went ashore, leaving the remaining] n s to start the jam and take their| chances in reaching shore alive. Then was th chant to earn money,that was' where the big pay came in. out the men earned it. They would work for hours with their nerves strained to the ut ne st tension, listening for the crackling sound that would indicate that tin jam was "settling.” When that sound came to them they would spring for the shore. Sometime's the jam would givetw. *n the logs of the jam, the man goes hack to the shore for 100 fret or more, and the battery sends the spark that ignites the cap, that explodes th cartridge that blows up the jam that again takes up its wayward drift to th.- mills far down the liver. Th lessening of th dangers was the cause of the deer east in wages. Seienc has done as much for the lumbermen as for any other class of industry and a corresponding reduction in wag* has followed. But the river drivers do not all come from Bangor. Mayor's Proclamation. Mayor Redington has a way of saying things that is peculiar only to himself. I!** talk:- as some nn*ri strike, straight from the shoulder.

Should an accident happen from such a cause, the party who allowed this paper to get into our streets would be liable for whatever damages occurred, could it he proven against him.
