Representative Doclwry of Missouri threw
what Is ordinarily called a bombshell Into
the house today by offering n resolution call
ing for nn Investigation hitotho alleged all-
vcr pool In which various senators nnd repre
sentatives are said to have been Interested
during the silver legislation last year. This
matter has been the subject of common
rumor , but that portion of Mr. Doekery's ' resolution
elution which Intimates thnt these gentlemen
inndau profit of 11,000,000 will cause many of
them to smile bitterly. It Is generally bo-
Ilovcd that there was a pool of very considerable -
able size which Invo-itcd in margins on sliver
bullion before tlio passage of the bill last ses
sion , and that nn attempt was inado to unload
the holding when the price of the ineUl ran
up to 110 and 120. But the brokers
In Wow York were n llttlo too spry for thu
statesmen and when they learned Unit the
latter wcro going to sell they unloaded so
rapidly that the price ran to about where it
was when the legislation was commenced ,
and remains there In the most soggy nnd un
pleasant condition. The pool fins not un
loaded. Ills now supposed to bo carrying
many million dollars' worth of silver , the in
terest upon which Is such-n heavy burden
that It will very soon cat up all the profits.
Mr. LJocuery could get some Interesting in
formation en this subject if ho would press
his Inquiry ,

Mr. William Sanders , the veteran superln2
tcndent of the propagating gardens of the
agricultural department ami the founder of
the famous order known ns the Patrons of
Husbandry , has Just returned from a some
what extended trip through the south , and
says that ho is nnm/tcd over the growth and
prosperity of that section.
"Around the old-tlmo centers of popula
tion , " he says , "thoro hnvo been revolution
ary changes' . Material advancement is noted
everywhere , and is generally duo to the
Yankee leaven , which has leavened the
whole lump. Great cotton factories anil iron
mills have sprung up In unexpected places' ,
and around nro comfortable homes of thou
sands of employes. The population of ninny
of the towns is made up exclusively of those
who labor in the mills and fuu'orics , nnd they
are mostly Iir migrants from New England.
The Important result of this development is
to impress the white people of the south with
the dignity of labor which they have not ul-
ways recognUed , "

There was a very funny Incident In the

that the dele started to read the president's
message before that document arrived. It is
customary to SCIHI the message from the Gov
ernment printing ofllco in pamphlet form nnd
hnvo copies upon the desks of tbo senators ns
soon us the ollleial manuscript is received
from the president. Today the copies were
distributed as usual , but owing to a misun
derstanding they got into the hunits of the
senators before the commltteo appointed to
wnit upon the president had returned , The
clerk hnd only gotten as far ns the words ,
' To the senate and the house of representa
tives , " when somebody directed the vice
president's ' attention to the fact that the
message had not been officially received. A
moment later the committee appeared to an-
nouco that the president would communicate
with the scnnto In writing and were shortly
after followed by the executive clerk who
delivered a package containing the mnnu-
script message and tbo reading was renewed.

iSabliio and J. W. Eller tided us challengers

"I know of my own knowledge that 201 re-
ittbllcans wcro deprived of their rights nt

ivas carried out to the Jettor , so mucli so that
vhen Ed Walsh or myself nskcd for fair
