AT THE CAPITAL- A BILL INTENDED TO TAKE POL-1 I TICS OUT OF BUSINESS. THE SILVER FIGHT IS ON. Othar Matters Pertaining to National Affairs and Work Done in Con gress—Night Sessions for the Silver Debate. se of tbs legislation, e r, at Statesville ats oat, is to compel — of p^perly qualified After the grii Washington, March 83.—Represents tivo Andrew of Boston has completed the report upon his bill, to exclude poli tical influence in the employment of laborers under the authority of the United States. The bill, according to the reports he has received, will affect some 31,000 employee snd will require that henceforth they shall be appointed or employed without regard to political considerations. The report corrects a misapprehension which it is said is held by some army and navy officers that the system contemplated by the hill will require certifications through the Civil Service Commission. The only purpose Mr. Andrew points the appointment of p'“p©rly qi men in the order of their application, and this purpose can he carried out by the offioere authorised to give the em ployment without any cumbersome ma chinery. Mr. Andrew gives a table, compiled from recent statistics, show ing that the official force of the govei ment in the executive department# is 173,760, and that of thia number only 80,726 are actually subject to competi tive examination. The bill proposes a wide extension of the non-partisan sys tem by a much simpler method and at much lees cost than the extensions which hsve already been mad. It not proposed to require competitive ex aminations of laborers nor subject them to any scholastic test. Crowded galleries and early occupied seats attested that the great silver tight was coming. All of the heavy weights were watch ing the situation with intense interest. The shadow of the presidency seemed to be on the wall. Both sides of the house were watching it with anxious care. After the introduction of several bille, Bland who had entered the hall called up the special order—being the hill for free coinage of gold and silver and for the issue of ooja and notes. The bill having been read in full, Beard took the floor, but was immediately taken from there by Tracey, of New York, with the point of order that the bill must re ceive itiLflrst consideration in the com mittee of the whole, ae it involred a charge upon the treasury. Dingely supported this point, which was antagonized by Bland and was overruled by the chair, who stated that the matter has been examined at the time of the report of the bill from the committee. On motion of Mr. Bland the resolution was adopted providing for evening sions to night and tomorrow night for a general debate on the silver bilL Watson,..of Georgia, wanted some tjjaa gran tod in the discussion to mem- ~~ ~^goers of the third party.

Sixteen hundred sub-AlIi- ances throughout the state, out of a to tal of 2,200 have tak^n official action on the St. Louis convention, as suggested by the Alliance Farmer, acd of these 1,600 resolutions received by the editor every one but three in the strongest terms indorsed the St. Louis conven tion, platform and address. The Alli ance pledge themselves in their resolu tion to independent political action and also pledge themselves to work for tbe candidates who represent their princi ples. ALMOST ALL COMMITTED. Editor Irwin srates that the action of the sub Alliance means tb it the Geor gia Alliance is almost unanimously committed to the People’s party. The names of the Alliance which have taken action are published in part to- jday. By next week it is exptctsd that ' the remaining 600 suh-AHiances will have acted, unity will be expressed for independent political acrioc. All the resolutions received by the Alliance Farmer are official, signed and stamped by the presidents and secreta ries, and represent the sentiment of the order as an order, not of the members a3 individuals. WOLK FOR ins DEMOCRATS. In the light of the action of these 1,600 sub-Alliances of the Stste declar ing their allegii nee to the ne .v politi cal party, there can be. no longer any doubt that there is work for the Demo crats of the State of Georgia to do. Some of the Democratic leaders have deemed fit to ignore the new movoment, claim ing that at best the Alliance was almost dead in the State, that its membership has fallen away heavily, but in the face of the letters that came into the office of the Southern Alliance Farmer with the resolutions from the 1,600 sub-Al TVby They Caught Bigger Fish.

He claimed to* have been com manded by God to disrobe and seek a re velation on the mountain. From tbe above it will be seen that Georgia gets at oace $893,500, besides the contiol of the system for Ssvaanab, which means $3,000,000 addition*1 as needed. In other words Georgia is de cidedly on top in the river and harbor bill, and Colonel Lester deserves great credit for what he has done. What South Carolina Gets.

The back of the manger should be made to slant back toward the cow, as it will give more room when the cow is on her feet and draw her forward when she is lying down. F is a rope or strap, connected to E by a swivel, that goes around the cow’s neck. There is no patent on this, and any man who can use a saw or ham mer can put one up. Cayuga Ducks. The Cayuga is an American breed of duck which is highly esteemed for table purposes, its flesh having been pro nounced by some authorities as of even better flavor than that of the wild duck. An excellent characteristic of this breed of ducks, to the poultry keeper, is that they are not so much inclined as some to stray aw ; .y and wander far from home, and can therefore be left more at liberty.

The opinion that a man is degraded by addressing another as “Sire” or “Your Royal Highness” or “Your Lordship” or “Sir Something” is deeply rooted in the or dinary American heart. Two illustrations of this are furnished by a Canadian con tributor. Of course, in telling the stories the names of the chief actors are changed, for there is no such person as Sir James Homlake. But the incidents as narrated show the nature of the changes made in speaking the names. Some years ago, when Sir Charles Smith, so we will call him, was traveling by spe cial train in Dakota, he told his private secretary to instruct the conductor that ho should not say “Mr. Smith,” but “Sir Charles” in speaking to so great a man. Next time tbe conductor came around he said, “Well, sir—Charles—the next station is Glyndon.” And always thereafter he continued to use the same form, “Well, sir, Charles”—as though the sir were purely exclamatory, and the knight’s name Charles. Last year when Sir James Homlake and a number of other prominent Englishmen were traveling in this country as guests of the American Iron and Steel institute, the company had a special train. Tbe porter of the car in which Sir James traveled for two days was a singularly polite but slightly deaf negro. He always addressed Sir James as “Misser Omelette.” After this had occurred several times Sir James, whose sense of personal importance is well developed, said In an appalling and loud tone, “My good fellow, you must not speak to me in that manner. When you address me you are to say Sir James Horn lake— Sir Janies Homlake, remember that!” ‘Porter, have you remembered to say Sir James Homlake?” asked one of the Americans next day, when he happened to meet the darky where the knight was not. ‘Oh, no, sahl 1 doan’ say no such thing. Disyer’s a free country.” “What do you call him then?” “Jus’ Misser Omelette, yessah. Jus’ Misser Omelette, sail.” “Aren’t you afraid?” “Yessah—scared mos’ to deff, but I’se a ’Merican citizen, sab.”—Texas Siftings. and Potassium will cure Syphilis, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Syphilitic Rheu- matism,Malaria,Old Sores, Blood Poison and Dyspepsia.

PAIR OF CAYUGA DUCKS, perience will be noted with interest, ‘found that the Cayugas were more precocious birds than the Roens and were better layers. Thd eggs were more fertile. The ducks were also much hardier, and as a consequence there was less mortality among the young. But they were rather small in size, dressing only seven to nine pounds the pair.” In general it may be said that the Cayugas are useful fowls, being hardy, maturing rapidly and fattening well. They are also unusually good layers. These birds, a pair of which is repre sented in the cut, are of a handsome jet black color, with brilliant green or pur ple lustrous gloss. The shape of the bill is different from that of other kinds, as it mrves from the head down toward the center of the bill and upward again to the lip, in dish shape. The legs are a dull orange color, with a network of black over them. In shape and size the Cayugas resemble the Aylesburys. Raising Beans for Market. An Indiana farmer correspondent gives his method of raising beans as fol lows: I use only pure seed and a kind that quickly. Break the ground early and let it lie as to germinate all the weed seeds. Do not plant until from the 1st to 15th of June on account of the weavil. Be fore planting cultivate the ground thor oughly so as to destroy all the weeds. Plant the beans in rows two feet apart. Drill the seed at the rate of one-third of a bushel per acre if tree beans; if mar rowfats, use one-half to two-thirds of a bushel. Plow with an iron double bull tongue cultivator which will admit of adjust ment so as to just fit the row. Use a clod fender on both sides of the plow. With this implement one man and horse will cultivate five acres a day. We usually pull the beans when the pods are about half yellow and the green pods have full sized beans, if the weather )s dry. If it is raining every few days we allow them to ripen before pulling. We thrash with a wheat separator and reclean on a fanning mill, with one screen the proper size to admit the beans and pass all stems and hulls over. Then a screen is put below to take out all the split and broken beans. This screen looks like an ordinary cheat screen, only the meshes are a little more than as wide again. If your cream will not churn, but seems gaseous and soapsudsy in cold weather, remove some of it fsom the churn, so yon can break the rest. —. « — Hereditary Knowledge. A little three-year-old, whose father, two grandfathers and a great-grandfather are physicians, was entertaining herself one day by playing doctor to her dolls. The nurse kept the young physician ; :oing on a round of calls from doll to doll, and writ ing prescriptions in her babyish hiero glyphics. At last the weary little body climbed into an armchair and lay back for a mo ment’s rest. The nurse, fearing iest the slightest diversion should turn the active little brain toward something that would demand more of her attention, sought to reawaken interest in the dolls by a very urgent telephonic summons. The little doctor straightened up at the tling-tling of the imaginary bell, and rest ing her elbow on the arm of the chair and making a receiver of her dimpled hand, asked what was wanted. She was informed that Jenny Purdy needed her services at once.
