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

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

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

To The Minority.

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.

LONDON BY NIGHT.
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.

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,
