By TOM P. MOBOAN. -r-TT [(.'(->?>> rl.-.l.t. IttXJt h the A -t)ior.] With one os ?> ?;>'. i'>;i, tho members of tho Baxter household wcro honest aucl upright. Though lifo hud hi en hoiiic tbing of it strngglo with them since Mr. Boxtcr'a death, they had met their trials bravely, and nftor each day of struggling, when night settled down over the little weather beaten houso under tho tall cotton wood tree, they could go to rest with tho simple satis* fuotion of feeling that they had dono their best Tho day was fast approaching when, the time of reside nee required by tho government having been fulfilled, the bomestead cluim Would bo their own. Their small crops, cultivated as well us a boy whose will perhaps was greater than his ability could cultivate them, wero sufficient for their modest needs, and if their moans wero scanty their wants wero carefully kept down to them. Thoy owed no ono. They bated no 'ono unlos it might bo Indian Jim, tho Worthless half breed whoso chief fond ness WOS for dirt, bogging and stealing, throe things that the Baxter?, with ono exception, ubominated. They feared no one, except perhaps Home of tho pomp oust, straight hacked officers of tho prui rio military post of Fort Beal, three miles nwny, and of these tho younger Baxters, with tho same singlo excep tion, stood moro in awe than fear. Mrs. Baxter was a quiet, painstaking woman, who worked hard to make both ends meet in the humble household. Dohby was an old mannish chap who did his best to fill his father's place. And little Martha was faithful at hor tusks, holping at the dish washing, mending and sweeping, and dropped seeds for Dobby'a planting, fod tho chickens and assisted at whatever else her hands found to do. But there was one inmate of the little weather beaten house who, though evi dently considering himself one of the family, took no caro to omulato the probity that marked their daily life, and apparently feared neither tho law nor tho commandments. This wan Li jer, who was far from being saintly in spite of tho patrinrchinl name ho bore, a doubtful sort of complimont to tho Bihlo story of Elijah and tho ruvons. As Dohby did not know the names of any of tho ravens, ho compromised and did tho next best thing by calling the littlo crow Elijah. From tho very first; Lijcr's appearance was against him. Even when actuated by as good intentions as over a crow hud, ho looked tho rascal. When Dohby took him from tho parent nest, an ugly, almost feathorless little wretch, his most prominent attribute, liko that of a scoundrelly lawyer, was his bill. His voice at that timo was u harsh, complaining "whauruk," and his do light, lioxt to eating, seemed to bo in exercising it as near continually as pos sible. Ho was a shameless gormandizer oven when ao small that ho could .searoo ly wabblo about, and the only way to quiet his cries and his appetite was to stuff him so full of dough that for the timo being he was past all wabbling. Ono day, when half grown, ho was caught by tho old rooster in tho net of stealing dough from the chickens and set upon and so severely drubbed beforo Dohby could come to the rescue that ono of his legs was broken. This healed rap Idly, hut in a fashion that oausod him to forever after walk with a swnggor that made h im look all tho more rascally. As ho progressed to full grown crow hood ho developed more queer villainies than it seemed possible for his small brain to father. In the matter of voice, whatever Lijer lacked in quality ho made up in quantity. Besides the "caw," common to all crows, ho ac quired various notes and modulations ezpressivo of wrath, impatience, satis faction and delight, and what might have been called a kind of laugh, a harsh, strich ut "whoor-hoor-ha-n-al" At feeding times, when his rations of dough and meat scraps were placed to foro him, he scorned tho soul of liberal ity to tho guileless chicks who would gather, a half fearful and always hun gry circle, about him. Lijer would as sure t hem of his pacific intentions by sundry clucks and murmurhlgs and a look of total harmlcssncss that would entico the boldest of thom to tho feast. Ho would appear tho model host till a chicken got just whero ho wanted him, Poor Tyler ?prang ?/> with a terrible howl. and then tho crow would givo him such a whack with his big bill that it was i> wonder that tho victim's unsuspicious brains were not knocked out, and with a great sllOUt und (lapping send the chicks scuttling away as if for (bar life. This was repeated many times, tho chicken . never seeming to acquire wis dom by sad oxporionoo, even the unfor tunate who had been nearly scalped oil tho previous day appenring to have for gotten already whero ho got his sort head. Lijer scorned to derive much satisfac tion from enticing the passing wild crows to the homestead by seductive and inviting cnws from tho top of the tall cottonwcod and then treating his guests very shabbily. When several of thom would gather within hearing distance, ho would ha.angue them loudly, por haps upon tho error of their ways. Tho "visitors, with heads (itilt. would listen with solemn intoului ss as if to tho words of an oracle, and tho lecture would go en till the appenrunco of some one from tbo houso would frighten tho strangers ?way, whon the patriarch in tho troo top would send after thom a dorisive a imn tnief was Lijer. It seemed that it thorowas an honest bono in Ida black body it must bo a very small ono. It was believed by the Baxters that tho only filings snffl from his dishonest bill wero thoso ho large and heavy that they wero beyond his ability to lug off. For . metal Objects, especially If they wore bright, ho hud tho greatest liking. .Mrs. Baxter's thimbh would disappear, to ho perhaps found in soino odd cmer or orovico. Spools of thread wero to bo dis covered poked into the bedding, in the kindling box, behind tin wash bench, out of doors undor big chips and good new knows whero else. Part of a paper of taoka loft carelessly about ouo day ntlraofotl Lljor'a atten tion, nnd ho mado a number of trips be tween it and tho broud spongo that Mrs. Baxtor had. loft ou tho tablo all ? ' for Uio Ovou when a neighbor droppea in. AtU t the departdro of the oa'ler the boosewife-fcastiJy liirust the broad into the oven without noticing anything un usual ahont it. Upon getting the loaf at supper (tbo was ndonished to find one cud of it pkutifully studded with tacks. Lijcr dearly loved to get at a well filled piucushiou, from which bo would cxtruot the pins one by one nnd thrust them into sjiiio convenient roceptaclo. One night after the prophet, unbeknown to any one, had rohhod tho pincushion Dobby was considerably surprised, if not delighted, to find, upon going to hed, his pillow carofully bestuok with pins. One winter's day old Mr. Hanson "?orta drapped in," aa bo expressed it, and was sitting hosido the stovo retail ing tbo scanty gossip of tho neighbor hood, whilo his dog, fuithful Tyler, was comfortably curled up hoforo the fire. Lijcr was swaggering nhout looking for an opportunity for displaying bis pooul iur talents when a livo coal popped out of tho grato. Like a flash ho aunp ped it up in his hard hill and inserted it into tho dog's car. Poor Tyler spraug up with u terrible howl and dashed bo twoon tho legs of his muster, wiio had just risen to take Iiis departure, noarly standing tho old gentleman on his head, and sprang out of tho door, collid ing with Dobby, who was just bringing in a hucket of water. Tho bucket went flying, half drenching tho hoy, and tho dog BOUttlod away, yelping mournfully, followed by Lijer's triumphant " wboor hoor-ha-a-ul" But, in spite of all his villainies, Lijor had one redeemhig trait. This was Iiis fondness for Dobby, whom ho loved with all his rascally littlo heart. It was Dob by who had fed him when ho was a helpless gormaudaud resoued him from the rooster and hound up his broken log und nursed him tenderly. It was Dobby who saved him from many unpleasant scrapes, usually brought upon himself by his own rascality, and it was Dobby, too, who petted him and pranked with him, and it was upon Dobby that ho lav ished till tho affection that was in him. Ho would swagger around after the boy at his tasks, investigating every where, sticking his nose into everything, often hindering sadly whilo apparently intending to ho helpful, nud all the timo murmuring to Iiis master in crow lau guuge. He seeuiod to deem nothing too good for Dobby, and often when tho lud was sitting quietly tho crow would hop up into his lap and pop into n pocket or a fold of his jucket onu of Iiis choicest steals and then back away as proud as a peacock when Dobby found and accepted the gift, usually some small article that had been missing from tho houso and accordingly charged to Lijer, though porhaps no one had soon him steal it. And when tired of pranking tho crow liked to hop up on Dobby's shoulder and mutter and mumble iu bis ear and then drop oil: to sleep with his head against the boy's cheek. One September day tho Baxters wore thrown Into a flutUr of excitement by tho coming in a most unexpected fash ion of visitors from tho fort. Miss Er nestine Bossiter of Chiongo had lotoly heoomo the guest of Colonel nnd Mrs. Oonkliu, nnd several times the house hold under the tall cottouwood had seen the stately beauty rido by, a member of an equestrian party from tho post. To day her escort was blond mustnebed and oycglaS8Cd Lieutenant Lemon, jusl from West Point, a gentleman of apparently tremendous importuuce in Iiis own mind. How it cauio about does not matter, but when a little way from tho Baxter homestead tho lady's horse stumbled, giving her a painful and most ungrace ful tumble, bruising her somewhat aud giving her dignity a sad shock. This was truly unfortunate, for upon this particular day she had arrayed herself with unusual euro for tho purpose of impressing tho oflieor. That gentleman etimo gallantly to tho rescue and supported her tenderly to the house, wheroMrs. Baxter, in a high state of llutteruient, did her host to adminis ter to the needs of her unexpected guest. The lady's shoulder was abraded and lamed und one of her hands considerably 1 raised. Mrs. Baxter was ready with linen cloths and homemade liniment, Dobby thoughtfully brought a pitcher of cool water from the spring, nnd little Martha rendered what assistance luy within bor power. Miss Bossiter was almost astonished wheu Mrs. Baxter refused payment fur her kindness and seemed half hurt that it had been offered. These prairie people were hardly barbarians, after all, tho lady decided. Even the lieutenant, to whom she whisporod this, agreed with her ami was almost gracious to Dobby and Martha, who stood in manifest awe of this very important appearing officer, who walked ns erect as if he had swal lowed a poker whole and had as yet failed to digest it. So busy Was Dobby with his helpful liens that ho forgot to wonder what had becomo of Lijer and what rascality might bo keeping him out of sight. Presently the quests wore ready tc depart, and they had almost reached tbt door, I ho lady clinging to the ofllcer'f arm, when sho gave a little cry of re membrane,' ? "My diamond ring! I placed it on the little stand near the window whet: my hand was about to bo bandaged." But the ring was not t hero I Mrs. Bax ter looked carefully about the floor, but no ring appeared. "I?I"? she began, lo ikiufl worried and half frightened. "I placed It there," said Miss Bos siter. "It hau been Btoleul" "Do you mean that"? "It has been stolenI" roprntrd the visitor. "I feel sum that boy stole it!' "I nover! I nevcrl" criod Dobby. Tin idoa of thus boiug accused set his hon 'rite prophet uttered a fet uic "whootjioor hit-nti!" est heart to heating Wildly. "I didn't soo your ring at all, ma'am!" "You must havo loeu it when yon placed tho pitchorof water on tho stand and"? "But I didn't," protested Dobb}'. " 'Deed an double, I didn't!" And tho pompous appearing ofTlcoi looked into tho bid's honcHt, troubled face find felt that ho told tho truth. "Mirs Bossiter," ho bogan, "isn't it possible"? '?No, sir!" interrupted that lady do oldodly. "That boy stolo my ring, nnd if ho does iiotroturn it instantly ho must be arrested." "I didn't, 'deed an doable"? Little Martha burst into a how) of fear. A rough looking wan was just stepping in at the open doorway. "Oh. Mr. Oaab, yoo won't arrest Dobby?" cried the ebild. "Please dou'tl" j " 'Rest Dobby?" snorted tho uewooin- I er. "Waal, I reckon cat I Sorter dropped ] in to eoo if you folks bad nodloed Injun Jim Buoakin ycrabouts. Ho"? "Arj you an officer?" questioned Miss Rossi ter. "Yes, mom?oonstuble. Name'sOasb. What"? "Arrest that boy," the lady com manded, "auless he instantly returns my diamond ring, which ho has Just stol en!" "Ob, don't arrest Dobby I Please dou'tl" cried littlo Martha. "My boy would not stoal," said Mrs. Baxter bravely. ' 'Dobby is a good boy." Her obiu quivored as she spoke. Lit tlo Martha was almost choking with subs, and Dobby was very oloso to the crying point. The idea of being arrested seemed very terriblo to these honest souls. Tho lieutenant looked several times as if on tho point of sponkiug, but ro frniued. Miss Rossitcr was tho guest of bis coinu anding officer and must not be offended. "Mom," began the constablo, "I don't reckon Dobby'd"? "Will you or will you not arrest him?" interrupted the lady impatieutly. "I a'pose I'll haf to," admitted tho constablo reluctantly, "if you luako a complaint, but you'll haf to go buforo Squire Asbburn. But I don't beliove"? "What you bolievo or do not boliovo has nothing to do witli tiio oase. Tbo ring must bo returned at ouco, or"? "I haven't got it!" cried Dobby. "Thou it muHt bo paid fori Itcost my father $260, and"? "Wolmvouo monoy"?began poor Mrs. Baxter. "Mr. Constable, doyonrdutyl Theno people"? And thou there was wailing in tho littlo w cut her beat on houso. Martha Just simply howled, Mrs. Baxtor brokodowu, and oven Dobby sniffed a littlo. "I'll haf to do niyduty, Dobby, "said tho constable. "But I don't beliova yon'ro guilty." "Neither do I," said tho straight backed lioutouaut suddenly. Tbure was n fluttering sound at the door, and Lijor, tho prophet, staggered in, looking as if be bad boon very hard ly used. Somo of his foatbers were out, aud others lookod as if tboy had boon rufllud tho wrong way. One wing dragged as if broken, and as bo Btag gored foobly ncroHS tho room to Dobby lio left a few spots of blood on the floor. At tho boy's feet ho stopped, unahlo to hop into his lap, but he held up bis bill, and in it glistened tho lost diamond riug. Ah Dobby took tho jewel the proph ot utterod a feeble "whoor-hoor-ha a-al" of satisfaction and settled down on the floor ooiupletoly exhausted. "My ringl" cried Miss Rosalter. "How"? skimpy Jackson and little Joo Rizdon slid in at the opou door. "Wo'vo bruug buck tho lady's boss," Kuid tho foremost. "He's tied out to tho fence, an I reokon it's worth 'bout a bailor dollar, boin's wo'vo bo'n chasin him for the hist half hour." "Oil, you'vo got Lijerl" said tbo oth er as soou as tho first speaker bud con cluded. "Wo told Injun Jim if bo didn't lot tbo crow alono we'd teil Mr. Cash on him!" "What do you mean?" "Waal, while wo was chasin tbo boss *ve saw Injun Jim sneak away from ?oro an Lijor tlyln along after him. The Injun took to tho gully in a little while, an wo couldn't see him, but Lijer kept flyin along above as if follcrin him." Tho boy proceeded that, owing to their attention being taken np with tho horHe, thoy bad forgotten the crow for a few minutes. When they looked again, they saw him fly our of a thicket and aliglit iu tho top OS a small tree. Then the. Indian appeared, and they saw him fire a shot from hin revolver at Lijer and saw the prophet tumble from his porch and alight in tbo big fork oT tho tree, high above tho Indian's bead. They shouted tho threat to inform Mr. Cash, which seemed to frighten tbo In dian, for he plunged into the gully and disappeared. As soon aH they captured tho horse it was their intention to go with Dobby to tho resouo of tho crow. Beforo tho story was done Constable Cash had rushod away in pursuit of In jun Jim. "Theexplanation is simple," said tho straight backed lieutenant. "The half breed, in sneaking toward tho gully, approached tbo house and looked in at thu window iu hope that there might, be an opportunity to steal something and discovered and took tho ring. The crow, guided perhaps by subtle intelligence, followed him und an the Indian stopped to gloat over I119 prizo in tho gully SWOOpod down and snatched it away from him. Who will say that bo was not a hero in dragging his broken wing all tliis long way homo, enduring all this agovy that ho might Jay bin trophy at his master's feet?" ??Lieutenant," said MiM Rosslter shortly, "wo must go. Mrs. Baxter, how much do I own you for tho incon venience 1 have caused you?" "Nothing," answered Dobby'fl moth er. "Monoy cannot pay for suffering. Good by!" Skimpy and Joo followed tho lady and tho officers out to tho horses. Prcseutly Skimpy eamo back. "When tho woman wasn't lookhi," ho said, "that pompous feller handed mo this an whispered for 1110 to givo it to Dobby." "This" was n bright goldpieco. That was last autumn. Lijer's broken wing healed long ago, but it droops a little, making him look 111 ovo rakish und rascally than ever. TUB BND, The Good Samaritan Mr. Moody, atonoof lito recent meet ings in Now York, r ?? ' tho storv of "Tho Good Samari r.nd t 1 n said : It's a good thing to take a parable like this and look ii frtraltfbt In the face. Who is our ndphb ir? 1 don't think wo nocd anyon ? lo oxplain that. It's pretty plain, butfomo of uh h<\vr> been protty long H iding i' nut, uinl nio-st of us haven't f-j.?rd on; vet, Many a man has .? im? to New York and been shipwroi ked and fallen amongst thlovcs. RntoctImos tbey havo killed him Or th-y did that gcntloman from C) rndo <th r Ouy, but. more often t! > ??? have only wounded him. 1 regret . < sny that th ro aro many pO'Cftlled Christians who will see a man indl<?m - >md won't help him bocaono ho down*! belong to their parish. s- in<> ministers a?*o the i-a ??e way. Tho trouble with such <.? that their religion is all up in their bead: if, n< v r struck Into their hearts a? all. They havo tho big bead and the little heart. Lots of men aro head heavy. They'd topple, over backwards if they stood up too straight. In tho parable, tho firct man that came along was tho priest. Ho was probably on bis way to hold somo sor vlco at tho Templo. When bo saw tho wounded man he probably soldi "That man Is badly hurt, but 1 can't stop to attend to him for ho Is not In my parish. If ho wcro I'd certainly como to him as soon as I had seen the com mittee about lt." And be passed on. I pity those men who are always wait ing for a committee to appoint them. B?rau y arg ago, thero wai a rann In thin town who lived near tho North River, and iu the afternoon of a cold winter's tiny he htaid a o??n ?? III g for help who baJ fallen through the ice. He i-at In bis Louse aud heard the mac cry over and over ajjalr-.and did nothing to help him, but let bim drown. The next day the people learn ed about It and they drove that cruel, heartless man out of town. That was right, wasn't it? Oh, it was? Then look ut yourselves and see what you aro doing. Are you not doing worse than he did In letting that fellow drown? All around you in Now Yoik cried for help aro being beard, and you aro parsing by ou tho other side. You say when you 6eo a man in dis tress, "Oh, how I pity him." I wouldn't glvo tho snap of my linger for the pity that does not help him to get up agufn. Tho next ono tbat camo along tho road was the Lovito. Ho was a sort of church warduu, a steward. The wound ed man lay about one hundred yards away when the Lovlto saw him. Ho had another turn of mind. Ho said : "It's dreadful that a man can't take a slmplo littlo journey in broad daylight w'thout being molested by robbers. When I pot back to the cty ill see Pilate and have an act passed by the legislature to appoint a committee to guard tbe reads, and very likely my name will be put at. the le ad of it. It's a great shame." And be passed on. There's a Christianity of woik* as well as of words. Words are cheap. We can get carloads of line sermoUf, but what we wunt is Bormone with hands ubd feet on them. Enough beautiful BermODS aro preached to convert tho wl ole city. The next person tbat came along was tho Samaritan. 1 can see h's cheerful BUliliog faco as be stooped to help the Buffering man and bathe hi* wounds aud pour oil in them, borne carry oil to pour in tho wounds of those they meet. A good many more carry vine gar, and they always givo you vinegar. Don't bo liko them. That Jew wau sick and wounded, and that good Samaritan put him on hi* beu-t and wi nt afoot himself. He took him to an inn. Ho fednhim, and lolt money to pay for his beard until ho returued. Don't ask mo t he creed of that Sama ritan. 1 don't know hie* creed. S'mie people uro ro particular about creeds. I tell you that any creed tout %vi11 prompt you to put your arm under an other man and help him up to God is a grand creed. Tho Jews bated the Samaritans. Don't condemn them. Lots of us are jiit-t as bad ourselves. I've sat in u ear and seen an Irish woman pull her skirts away from a colored woman who sat beside her, and a few minutes later I've seen tiie colored woman pull ber Bklrte ?v ay from a Chinaman. Why, there are men in ibis city who will tell you that a Chinaman hasn't any soul. A few years ago I was in San Fran Cisco, passing along the street, " hen I saw a hoodlum grab a Chinaman by the queue and pull him o^er backward and kick him and beat him horribly. I interfered, and the hoodlum looked at me, and p dd : " What, you lake tbe part of a Chinaman, a miserable deg ?' and ho pulled a knife on me, an 1 1 cam near losing my life. If wc had more good Samaritans there would he an end to the cry of capital and labor. There would bo happier homes, too, for thero would b more good fellowship in tho world. You ladies with your carriag suou'd preach sermon all around tho city by taking the poor to drive. I don't believe thero's a man in New York who can't be reached by love and kindness. We've got. to have a difftreutbty'.o o.' preaobiug to lift fiis world up. A little kindness goes a great way. Try it. Never look fov gratitude and you'il never bo disappointed. 1 remember the. ilr.-t good Samaritan I ever met. I wa-* sent away from home when I was i?hnut eight years old, to do cherts on .'.farm and goto hohool. 1 was feeling terribly lone Bomo and honu h'.i k when an old man met me and pave mo u cent; not one of tho little cents ?o have now, but a big eoppe/ one, and that encoura od mo and made mo feel good. How can we get into sympathy with people. Do you wan*, to know the receipt? Put yourself in the other man's place. God taught me. a lesson once uUnig that Hue which I hope He will Dover havo occasion to repeat. In Chicago during tho Summer I bad a mission Sabbath-school with 1,600 scholars. Tho season win hot and the i hlldren died rapidly. I officiated at three aud four funeral services a day, and got so used to it that I repeated the Service mechanically. Ono day 1 received word that a mother wanted me to go to her house as her little girl was drowned. Taking my four-year-old Emma I went and reached tho home. It was a drunkard's home. The father satin one corner tipsy, while the poor mother hung over the body of her child, which had ju-t been br. ught in from tho river and lay drippitg on a dirty pine table. She had no money to bury the child, and I stood there taking the measurement for the Bbroud aud COfllo, whilo the mother stood at my side weeping. I left tho house carrying my own littlo girl in my arms. After we had gone a iittlo way sho said, "Papa, sup pose mamma ar.d you were very poor, and I had to go out to tho river < very day to pick up wood, and one day I reached out too far and fell In, would you feel bad?" I strained the child, to my heart, and Bald : " Yes, darling, I should." "Did.von feel bad for that mother, papa?" she eski d. Ah, that wiis putting it in a new light. I hurried home with my own child, and then hastened buck to ti.a* mother. I wept with her. I ivad God's precious promises. I told hi r ol the beautiful homo where her oul d had gone, and when I left that m ?b > hud dried her tears. The nex tiny I weit soveu miles to tho gra\ -.var? with her and saw her little out laid lu a paupor's crave. That wa9 tho last of my Suudav school s' bolars 'hat ever wa< lab uwaj In a pauiif i'grave. I io!d thi it'\v\ at mj Si untie cbool, and, poor .-s inv pupil.* wi re, we raised monvy nouj ii to purchase a plot containing fifty gravi p, and u? tin y were fill. J an itbtr lot v es purchased. Wo wunt good Samaritans with a practical kind of sympathy. T'iere's a lot of a cheap kind of Christianity now. A man is always willing to help if it doesn't cost h'nn anything. Cot rid oftbat sort of stuff and get into the kind of sympathy with your follow.being tbat will show him that you ovi hhti ar.d feel for him. TIIjIiMAN hunts autographs. An in ir i ne. Scene in GiO United States Hcnitto. In the United Slates Senate on the 10th inst., Senator Tillman called up i.bn bill limiting tho offect of tho F fit nil laws on the Ho,"or traffic so as to glvo oach sint..- absolute coutrol of tl e BUb i Ct. Mr Platt (R^p. C >nn.) thought it was a measure re quiring an explana tlon, and Mr. Tillman proceeded to explain In ch-tail. He said tho bill was designed to give each State tho right to control tho liquor traffic in Its own way without Interference from tho Federal judiciary or any other source. A recent decision of the United Statos Supremo Court In tho South Carolina Dispensary ci?o had praoMeally an nulled that part of the Wilson law Fiermlttlog Stato regulation of tho iquor traffic, Mr. Tillman said tbat to any ono but Highest of all in Leavening Power.?Latest TJ. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE i ??__?,?, a hair-splitting lawyer tho present i luw would be sufficient, but in view of the Supremo Court decision, tho amendments bad been considered necessary. Tbo amendments were roado to meet the objections of tho various courts eo as to allow tbe States to exorcise police control of foreign made liquor in tho States as well as of homo made liquors. Mr. Mills opposed tbo bill ub a stop I backward, allowing, as it does, inter I b ronco with tntcrbtato commerce, i He considered it a very dangerous prc i cedent. I Mr. Vest aleo opposed it on tho same ground. Ho said tbe efleet of tbo bill I would he a more radical interference i with tommeroe between the States ? than wits the Wilt-on bill for a similar : purpose I Mr. Tiliman taid tho object of the i hill was simply to prevent tho laying j of a conduit for tho importation of j liquor. Continuing', Mr. Vest said ho thought j the Supremo Court hud gone much i further tbau it could properly havo , dono under tho Constitution in pro* j hibiting the importation of liquor, j Tbe effect ol the bill would bo to con tine people to the purchaso of only ! liquors manufactured in their own Siate. The bill was, he paid, intended to maintain the Soutb Curolinu mono poly und. r lb Di-pens iry law. "I openly confess that to bo tho ob Ijcct," eald Mr. Tiliman? "Throe fourths of our people havo oxproused their support of the principle." Tho Washington cor respondent of the News and Courier describes the novel method uciopted by Sonator Tili man to win friends for his measure: Senator Tiliman is having great dif ficulty in convincing the Senate tbat bio bill to override the Supreme Court's recent decision in the dispensary ease is a meritorious measure. Ho mudu another t gort to pass his bill to-day buforo tho Semite proceeded to the House to count tho electoral vote, but ho was vigorously opposed bj Senators Mills, Ve.-t and others. Tho Senate is not Inclined to overturn a dceioion of the Supreme Court to gratify the per* : sonal umottions ami political aims of Senator Til I man, and bis b.ll will pro bably fail even if it is evor pressed to a veto. Senator Tiliman has bit upon auovol Boheme to expedite tho pasbage of his bill, but i" will bar- ly succeed. He iiui tried to the hest of his limited ability to Invoke tbe ti ne-bonorcd and generali) respeotud ''Senatorial cour tesy " in be hull of his measure. Hav ing falied upon that line, he is now app aiing lo '?Senatorial vanity" to push his pet project successfully along, tie euibavorod to play upon "Sena torial vanity" by procuring an auto graph album and inviting Senators to write their names in his nook. There is a rule of the Senate which prohibits employees of that body from soliciting autographs during tho ses sion of tho Senate. The business used to be carried on to a large extent until oertatn Senators, like Oonkllng, Ed mund?, Bayard and others, deoiared it was a nuisance and directed tho BCrgeaut-at-arms to have the practice discontinued. Tiiiman commenced operations on tho Democratic side with Senator Tttrplc, of Indiana, and Senator Bate, of Tennessee. S-.v< r tl other Demo crats wore thus enrolled by the South Carolinian He paused ;ir.d looked across the aisle lo the !<? publican Bide, and there sat Senators Hoar, of Massa chusetts, Sherman, of Ohio, aud Alli son, of Iowa?all big ui n, but also strict oon.itruotlonists as to the rules of tho Sonate, and hard men to ap proach at any lime or place. Senator Tiliman g.-.'/.*'.d intently at Hoar for a lew minuiesand scratched hia h< ad as if afraid to go up against tho Massa chusetts monitor of the (Senate, who read hia colleagues such a severe lec ture yesterday about betraying the secrets ol i xceutlvo sessions. " He's going to tackle Hoar," ex claim*, done of the newspaper reporters, who was watching tbo performance from tbo gallery. The South Carolina Senator wiped both corners of bis mouth with the ends of his Angers and started directly for Senator Hoar. Taking a seat he side tbo Senator from Massachusetts Senator Tillman first presented the autograph album, and indicated wboro ho would like to havo tho Senator's signature The latter ? blushed and looked confused, but Tillman was por histent. A littlo good-natured chain ng ensued, but tho result was that Till man obtained tho autograph, and also took occasion to say a good word for his dispensary bill. His next victim was Senator Allison, tho most modest man in natlonnl poliiios. He blushed liko a schoolgirl when approaehed by Till man, und looked as though ho would like to cover bis fuco with bis hands to hido his evor-ready blushes. Finully ho placed his well-rounded signature in the book, and Tillman lingered long enough b> his sido to drop a few sug gestions about tho dispensary bill. Dowu lu the frout row sat Senator Sherman, tho distinguished chuirman of the committee on foreign relations and tho ne xt. Secretary of State. Till man eyed tho great Oh loan cautiously circled around him two or three times and was about to go back to the Demo cratic side without tho covetoJ auto graph. However, ho muetored up all his Palmetto courage and went timid ly up behind tho usually cold and re pcllant Senator from Ohio. 1 '"Great Scott I'' exclaimed one of i the watchers. " See him go for Sher I man. It will bo interesting to see j Leng John glvo him the frozen hand." I Senator Tillman took a seat boside I Mr. Sherman, opened the t>ook at the j appropriate place and invited him to i sign. Senator She/man looked sur i prised and seemed disposed to deny tho request. Tillman said something j to him. and immediately a satislied ; smilo played over the features of the I coming Seeretury of State. He slowly ! reached for a pen, wroto his name I with great care and handed the book j back to Tillman. Oao word led to ao | other, and soon Sherman and Tillman i woro in warmest conversation over tho merits and the demerits of the South I Carolina dispensary law. ?Sorosis has started a war in be half of the birds ; but the fact prevails that a bird in the hat is worth two in the hush.
