The abuse of the eyes by the people of the United States and all other modern or'pioneer countries has led : o the growth and discovery of defects entirely unknown to science twenty years ago.

Our people know perfectly well thut if the third party carries any of the republican states it would throw the election of ttio president into the house of representatives. They know per fectly well that the present house of repre sentatives , and not the one to bo elected this lull , will decide who shall bo president. "If it , is loft to the decision of congress , they know that the democrats control two- thirds of the states In congress and that Cleveland would bo elected.

Today the service is being pushed to a pace which is as nearly as possi ble equal to our national growth. "Thero are many other reasons why wo should remember Cleveland.

Ho had his special agents scattered throughout that region spy ing upon settlers and arresting them for every technical violation of the law which 8 m nil minds could uoujuro up. lie refused to issue patents to lands nnd in hundreds of ways harassed the poor nnd bonn ildo set tlers , making oven their lives burdensome.

Representative Burrows of Michigan was among President Harrison's early callers this morning. Mr. liurrows , besides being ono of the foremost loaders of the house at ull times , Is the parliamentarian who was chosen to sido-trask the free coinage bill wlion It was before congress somo'xvooks ago. Mr. Burrows talked with the presi dent about the outlook of the free coinage bill , now that it has gene to the house after adoption by the sonata. Ho would not say what the president said to him , but in his observation to Tin : Biii ! correspondent there Is little doubt that bo voiced the president's sentiment. Mr. Burrows said the bill must go to the committee on coinage , weights und measures. Mr. Blund is out of tbo cltv , but ho could not prevent-Its reference to the committee if ho were hero. "Do you think the coinage com mittee will report the bllll" Mr. Burrows hesitated , tboi : replied : "It has refused to do so , but I am iLclluud to think It will now report. " Upon Its own motion or by direction and forcoof thu house I" "Probably upon IU own motion. It will now llkoly appear thut the bouse can muiter a majority for thu bill , and If it does not agree to report the measure back a resolu tion ulll bo adopted compelling a report. " Klli'ct of tlio Mmulc'it Action , "Do you bollovo the action of thu sonata yesterday In passing the bill will have u moral effect upon the house in its favor I" "Cnrtalnly. " suid Mr. Burrows , "nny action by tlio senate would hcvo t > omo In- iluonco upon tba house and in a case of this character It would uocossurllv have a potent InlHionco , This In not altogether a political measure , in fuel it has but little politics in It , unless it Is a stop by the democrats with u viuw to embarrassing the prosldonl and thu adoption of the bill by the senate will. In m opinion , llkoly iiillnonco enough members of the house to glvo tno bill n majority. " "Will the president voiothu bllll" "Tho president , " si.ld Mr. Burrows guard edly , "is n lo\cl headed man as you must know nnd no business proposi Ion will seri ously ambarriws him. it is my improisioii that' the president will IIIU'KO u.uiclc woru of the bill If it goes to him. " "Then he will veto HI" "Ho will not sign it , " was the ready re sponse. "When will the tuir of war como over tbo monsuio In tlio house ! " "I should think In ten days , or as soon ns the house committee has hud icnsonublo time for consideration. " Think ItVlll CHUM' Trouble. Although it ii generally conceded Hint since the adoption of the measure by the senate , which adds unmistakable prostico and moral influence , the free coinage bill has a majority in the house , the impression prevails - vails among the democrats that Mr. Cleveland land will "lay down" upon the loaders of his party In that body and piovont llnal action , as the democratic' candidate is a very dog- matiooncmv of silver. Then there nro many long-hondod democrats In the house who snv that if thu bill is Dually adopted nnd Presi dent Harrison should veto it , the ropub Means will have n solid phalanx from Maine to the Mississippi river this year Senator Mnnderson has declined the Invi tation to deliver an address M the Grand Army of the Republic reunion nt Superior , Nob. , in August , on account of other engage ments and because it Is not n sun : thing that congress will not 1)3 ) In session nl thnt time.

That portion of thu majority report , soys the minority , which presumed to inquire into the comparative trustworthiness und fidelity of omiuont olllcers of thu govern ment was altogether gratuitous , Imperti nent and scandalous.
