Lebanon Express, H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editflu - end - Proprietor THE INFANT INDUSTRIES. Congressman Benton McMillin of Tennessee, who is likely to suo- ceed the late Mr. Crisp as leader of the democratic " minority in -the lower houBe of congress, is a mem ber of the ways and means com mittee. He has been in Utendunce at the so-called hearings now in progress and has done a little cross-examining on his own ao count, in the endeavor to penetrate the motives of the requests for higher taxes being made. Here is a colloquy with one claimant that is worth repeating: "How long have you been in the busii.ess?" . "Six months," he rgplied. , "What proportion of the six mouths has your factory been run ning?" "Four months." "How many hands do you em' ploy?" "Ten," he answered. "How many other factories in the United States produce the same commodity?" "None." . "And ynu want to tax the whole American people for the benefit ol yourself and hands?" Continuing. Mr. McMillin said "Are you a native of the United States?" "I am not." "How long have you lived here?' "One year." "You have not been naturalized. have you?" "1 have not, but I hope to be. A few dnys previously Mr. Mc Millin discovered a claimant who wanted a duty of five cents a pound on chlorate of potash, which sells at st ven cents. If developed that there is only one firm in the United States making chlorate of potash. Portland Dispatch Failure to hu.i a session of the legislature and to pass the custom ary appropriation bill would not. after all, be an irremediable calamity. The state of Oregon once met and overcame the same emergency. It waB in 1S68, when a number of members of the house resigned, breaking a quorum, and the legislature was obliged to adjourn without pissing the ap propriation bill. The state govern ment went on just the same, col lecting the customary taxes, aud indirectly meeting it" obligations. Whenever the fund of any state institution is exhausted, it is the practice of the secretary of state to audit chums on that fund, and is sue certificates to the claimant, who is generally aule to negotiate them at a banking institution. The legislature has never failed ti. provide for deficiencies so created, covering both principal and inter est. Oregonian. What contract has Senator Mitchell entered into nith the gold democrats who are holding federal positions? They are all clamoring for his election. These same fel lows voted for McKinley last No vember. Is he going to retain them in office ns a reward for their loyalty to his personal interests? Dispatch. The North Yamhill Record ex presses it in the following words: John H. Mitchell's predilection for the free coinage of silver and his great loye for the St. Louis platform are somewhat lice the old settler's yoke of grass fed cattle. "D n nice to look at but poor at hard pulling." Uncle Sam's deadhead mail mat ter last year amounted to 52,348, 000 pounds. There are good reasons to believe that much of this was campaign literature, sent out prior to the recent election. "Who is the friend of the peo pleJoe Simon or the Oregonian or Mitchell?" the McMinnv lie Transcript asks. Neither one is the friend of the people. They are three of a kind. We have received a copy of the Omaha Bee, which contains much interesting matter concerning the exposition in preparation at that city. Tennessee Literary Society Election. BV AN OBSERVANT VOTER. Another eleotlon and the wheels of machine politics have been smashed, disorganized, stopped, aud overwhelm ingly defeated, while the honest unminees of the plain people have tri umphed, and we will he governed in the society hereafter ty the more suc cessful associates of Win. J. Bryan from Nebraska. , By their actions Saturday night, the literary voters of Tennessee laid care fully and sorrowfully to rest the old bylaws that were adopted by the so ciety, and used by former presidents, and will be governed strictly according to the BLACKLAWS. The election was short but pointed, and was marked by applause at differ ent Intervals, giving evidence of the approval by the people of the society's work. For president, T. P. McKnighl named Jos. Blacklaw, and Geo. Davis warmly seconded the nomination, and he was almost unanimously chosen. For vice president, Tlios. McKnight aud Miss Annie Blacklaw were named. The lady received a handsome majority over her young adversary, and by his motion her electlou was made unani mous. At the close of the election Pres. C. D. McKuight announced the entire ticket elected as follows: Pres., Jus. Blacklaw; vice pres., Miss Annie Blueklaw; Bee., Bert Bluckluw; ser-geant-nt-arms, Wni. J. Blacklaw; critic, Miss Blanche Sltuonds. Each one elected received an entire majority over all candidates, and there were from 4 to 0 candidates for each office except for vice president. Mite i Blanche 8imnnds, the only survivor of the wreck of that once grand, old. proud "Wheat Standard" party, went in with a whoop, receiving four ma jority over six other candidates, .und we therefore congratulate her upon ber election, Miss Jotde Itla' kluw being h -r mainstay opposition. There were 25 vote cat. We look for a period of great pros perity to come from the Blacklaw administration, as theii efforts hereto fore have always been crowned with They are lately from Lincoln, N'-b., Bryan's home. The officers took the oatlt to support the constitution to the heat of their ability, at exactly 11:30 o'clock p. hi. There is more catarrh In this section of the country than alt other disrases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposeojooe.ncun.oie r or. grea many years doctors pronounced it a local disease.

Science has proven catarrh tn he a ctiiiatitntioiial riiseuse. mid therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Yve would suggest that Miss Simonds change her name to Blacklaw, in order that we may be governed by law entirely If It Is only Black-law. To The Minority. Rev. Cornwall has expressed his views on the legislature's situation in the Mli wing poem (nnd dedication) published In the Albany Democrat. The following poem is dedicated to the worthy members of our legislature who will not consent that the rights of the minority of the people's representatives shall be ig nored in framing the laws aud shaping tiie destiny ol our noble state: W ell done, well done, ye noble baud, - Who stand for law and truth and right, Who meet the snoilers hand to hand. Hot feur their frowns, nor tear their might, , Who say ye never will consent To iiave the tieople bought aud sold, But will their wishes represent; Who have a higher price than gold. Your spirit brings to mind again The men who made this country free, Who broke oil' every galling chain A nd staked their lives fur liberty. Go, noble patriots, forward go, Ami lift your banner tu the sky, Quail not before your country's foe, Your names untarnished will nut die. - Aud when the battle's fought and won, And you return with honest heart, Witn pride we will all look uiion The brave who took their country's part.

The Streets of tho Murt.l's Motropnlt Alive with Vlelovu People. In the west end of London the condi tlonof thiiusat niuht would dlsirruee any culihtened community. It is ul most iiniHissible, says the Chicago News, to puss through some of the most feHh loni.blo streets without bphur molested by hordeB of these wretched children of the night, who almost hound down the mule passers by in thoir desperate ef forts. Tiie neighborhoods of the great hotels frequented by American tourists arc especially infested by scores of hu man wolves, who, in their desperation, are ready for anything from persist ent begging importunities to gurroting or robbing with violence if tho oppor tunltyonly presents Itself. A couple of weeks ago an Ameriean gentlomon, who had just left a lurge hotel li contral London, was suddenly sur rounded by a gang of abandoned mot and women, dragged into a eourtway and robbed of watch, jewelry und money in a few seconds, and then kicked into insensibility. Complaints have been mode by Amer ican ladies of the annoyance to which they are subjected here, even when under the protection of husbands, brothers or frieuds, from the importuni ties of "unfortunate" women. The thing has been an opon scandul for years, and the authorities have always seemed powerless to check it. The spectacle which the fashionable Piccadilly presents at night has for a long time past been a disgrace to this metropolis. Although it is the main thoroughfare between the leading theaters and some of the most aristo cratic districts, it Is blocked every night by rows of women, decked out in gorgeous apparel nnd wearing flashing jewels, lying in wait for clubmen. A hideous case of depravity was in the papers a day or two ago. Two young women wore arrested for soiuo trilling offense while driving with two mon in a cab. The police discovered that tho cab man was the father of the two girls and that the servant at the house where they lived in shame was actually their mother, Many are the perils which beset the unwary American visitor who strolls about the Btreets of London. Not the least of these are the professional "blackmailers," an infamous gang who are the pest of the "modern Babylon." These vultures are of both sexes and woe betide the luckless individual who gets into their clutches. He will be confronted with the alternatives of trumped up charges entailing exposure, disgrace and social ruin or else must pay hush-money. Let the American beware of the young, bright-eyed sirens who stroll demurely about the parks, tho leading thoroughfares, or the quiet and exclu sive nooks of the theaters here. These i are some of the baits and decoys of the professional blackmailers and have j been trained to endeavor, by all sorts of guiles and arts, to lead strangers into snares which will give the wretches who employ them opportunities of blackmailing, Davy Crockett's Monument. A monument is to be erected over the remains of Davy Crockett, the famous Tennessee hunter, who killed 108 bears and performed various other deeds of valor. It is now more than sixty years since this picturesque old character was buried. The shaft will be of Tonnes see granite and over twenty-seven feet high. At the front base of the column the emblematic bear keeps faithful watch in front of the bronze medallion of the scttin? sun: on the rieht oart of the shaft a bronze medallion with the distinctive badge (the rifle and knife crossed) of the pioneer settlers of the state is represented and a corresponding medallion on the left side shows the agricultural im plements, early symbols of Tennessee's prosperity. One other medallion rep resents the grand seal of Tennessee, and on the front of the shaft a bust of Col. Crockett looks down over the grizzly he loved to hunt so well, The bust will be as true to life m it can be made. , LOUIS KRUTZER'S SNAKE. After Sleeping One Himilred Yeir II Orawui Out anil In Klllod. Early in January of the present year a woodman engaged in chopping some of the monster oaks in the northern part of the great "Hlack forest," Ger many, and who had built a fire against a large dead log preparatory to partak ing of his middny meal, was surprised to see a serpent of gigantic proportions crawl from the log as soon as the rotten wood had got well wnrmcd tlirough, The day was bitter cold and the snake only mode a few yards over the frozen ground until his convolutions became smaller nnd smaller, until he finally ceased to wiggle and quietly coiled up near a largo pile of brush. The sturdy German chopper, who hod been more surprised than scared, waited until the creature hud become thorough lyjbenumbod with tho cold and thon ap proached anil dispatched him with his ax. Measurements showed the slimy creature to be twenty-seven feet six inches in length and nearly fifteen inches through the body In the middle. Just back of the immense head, v.'bich is cloven inches In length and al i;icrf o broad, a little gold ring had ' "' Cnrui.gh the skin, relates a St. 1,'jui.- "opublic's correspondent. It 1','i.MS .he form of two rings rather than one, being shaped not unlike a fl7-.u'e 8. One part of the ring was thmiiifii. tho skin, while tho other was t',uxre(;h it hole in a smull copper coin bearing date of iTlij. One side of the coin was perfectly smooth, with tho exception of these letters and fifTO.-es, which had evidently been cut n it with a pocketknife, the workman uhipboingvery rough: "LouiB Krutzcr, 11. G. O., 1781." Sim'Mjf the oldor inhabitants of the "Jil.iek forest" remember hearing their pnn:tits t4l of "Knitzer, tho serpent ehamj'T," and they all unite in declor hr,' tlv.it this gigantic serpent was for tsvjvh tteprojx)rt,voitlicold"chunnor," and t'ir.1 it, was nt least one hundred und fifteen years old whou killed tm that ooiu Jamran tiaff'Xg 'tfflk' . 4 The New York With the close of tho Presidential campaign THE TRiBUNE recognizes the foot thai tho American people are now unxious to give their attention to home and hnsiness interests.
