The Legislature.

The two houses have been In session
a week, and have got fairly under way.
We discover n strong disposition on the
part of the members to work, and to dis
patch the business of the session as soon
as possible and return home.
There are many new members in the
Senate as well az the House. A few whe
we're hero many years ago, appear now
as new members They bring a ripe
experience, and the time that has inter
vened since they were members does not
detract from their qualifications to legis
late wisely for the good of the people.
Committees are ut work bravely and
sedulously on the subjects referred tC
them, and in week or ten days, when
they begin to report to their respective
Houses, the main business OF the session
will assume an activity which will bring
out tho talont and judgment Of the two
houses.
Modesty usually characterizes thu
worth of young members and young
men, but it must be remembered tina
the session is short, ahd.they must no
hold back too long! In entering on tn,
sea of political discussion, see that you
vessel is sea.worthy, well supplied will
everything necessary for successful
voyage, sails well set, steam and gas vel
Igaaged, mind clear, full of hope and con
fidence; know all about the port. yo'
strike for, and launch out, and you vii
be apt to succecdl II you make blum
der, try again. Some of our ablest mel
made unsuccessful starts in publ
life.
We like the young man who tries I
do something for himself, and relies o
: his own resources before he calls fo
help; yet there lies before him an in
mense amount of experience, which h
: can avail himself Off he needs it. TIL
old are always ready to help tho youn
a and inexperienced when they need il an
are willing to accept it.

The Department Of Justice.

WASHINGTON Cry, Jan. S.-Represen
tative Springer said that he had already
received great deal of information con-
corning the malodorous condition of
things in the department of justice.
The committee would not meet until
Tuesday, however, and there had been
no formal Investigation as to the
truth of the charges so far made.
II am going to do my duty" said
Springer. "0f course l cannot neglect
all my other congressional obligations to
look after this one thing, buff am
afforded the proper facilities | will un
earth whatever there is Of wrong in the
department Of justice, and will fix the
responsibility where it belongs. If al
that is said about the irregularities il
this department is true, the countr,
may be prepared for some startling de
velopments. So far as am concerned
will do my duty with justice but with
out fear or favor"

When the bill became law, aud It
came under the scrutiny OF tbepeopie,
il was found to be tbs same old tax on
the neeessaries Of life, and light tax on
Injuries. Why this discrimination, in
favor Of those who can afford luxnries
and against those who only use the nee
essaries of life and cannot afford TO IN
dulge in luxuries is a mystery to thu

A FEEBLE RAY.
a WIFE Secures a Divorce Months
After Her Husbands Death.

A few days ago a gentleman from Ohio
arrived in this city and put up at Kiels
hotel. He o o began making inquiries
for one George Ray, whom he had heard
was somewhere in this part of the coun-
try. ayes, he is here" at last replied
one of those of whom he inquired. "The
poor fellow was here, but you will have
to dig to find him. He is put under the
ground" Sure enough the poor fellow
was here and yet had gone. Many here
still remember George Ray, not because
of his prominence in society, or in poll
tics, or in business, but because he was
a kind. hearted, friend making sort of a
fellow, and because his death was a
sad one, and attracted much
attention and excited much comment.
The death took place about a year ago in
a rickety old building, next to the old
Bryant house on Broadway. Here he
had fingered along in poverty and sick
ness for several weeks, attended by a
woman who chung to him with a great
or %tenacity and faithfulness than many
who are honored by the name of wife Of
the poor fellows previous history little
was known, except that he had been n
musician in the regular army. While
here he did some barbering, some tend
ing of bar, and in fact whatever his
hands found to do, until diseased and dis.
c%ouraged, he laid him down to die. He
was put at rest in the cemetery, and his
grave has been about forgotten save by
the woman who had performed the wife
ly duties, and who SOC after his death
became u mother. She has visited his
grave frequently, taking to 1t little floral
tributes, showing that whatever her
faults, she had one tender spot in her
heart.
The stranger from Ohio who had learn
cd these facts concerning poor George,
was not a little surprised. He, too, had
u few pages from GEORGES history, 1t
appears hat no had lived in Ohio and
there married, but despite a happy home,
wife and children, his footsteps got into
the down path, and wine, women and
the gaming table soon brought him into
perplexing troubles. In his desperation
no raised what money no could by dis
posing Of his property, and even went so
far as to forge his wife's uncle's name to
a note, which he sold, and then dlsap-
peared, DESERVING wife, children and
friends. After a time it was learned that
no had gone far west, and later that he
had enlisted In the regular army as a
musician. He was stationed at Omaha
for a time, and then was transferred to
some of the frontier posts. There no de-
serted, and wandering eastward came to
this city and here finished his course.
The Ohio wife not hearing anything
from him after his desertion, waited and
watched until hisreturn seemedno longer
to be hoped for. Last spring she secured
q divorce from him III the courts here,
not knowing that the poor fellow was
dead and buried almost a year before.
The custody Of the children was given
her, and yet, though legally separated
from the man, she desired, if possible, to
learn something about him, and so this
gentleman, a relative Of hers, being ON
his way west, stopped here to make in
quirles.
