DEATH BREAKS THE ILLINOIS DEAD
LOCK.

The death of Representative LOGAN of the
| Illinois legislature complicates the senatorial
contest in that state, and presents some nice
| questions of both parliamentary and coDsti-
tutional law The political tie in the legis-
lature has produced a deadlock in the effort
to elect senator, and up to this time no ex-
traneous force has been sufficient to break
| it. Now the question is, has Death come to
relieve the situation by removing one of the
members, or is the existing complication
! rendered more complicated The Republi-
cans very naturally assume that the death of
Mr.. LOGAN will give the Democrats no ad-
vantage and the Chicago Tribune, the lead
ing Republican paper in Illinois, will back
up this position with the publication of the
views of any Democratic lawyers who can be
found to take the same view of it. On the
other hand, the Democrats of the
| state will probably claim that Mr..
LoGAN's death will give them the cousti-
tutional majority, and in this view they will
find here and there Republican lawyers of
prominence to sustain them. Now, which
is right aud which is wrong! There have
been so few instances Of this character in the
legislative history Of the country that we can
only recall to mind one that bears similarity
TO the Springfield complication. That was
the West Virginia case. In 1870 the senate
of that state consisted of twenty-five mem
bers. One OF them was sick and
could not attend the legislature and
consequently sent in his resignation.

body. The constitution of the state re-
quired any bill before becoming a law to
receive the affirm alive vote OF a majority of
the members elected to each branch of
the legislature. bill coming from the
house TO the senate received eleven aiIirma-
tive votes and ten against it. The president
Of the senate ruled that under the circun-
stances the bill had received a constitutional
majority and declared it passed The law
was taken to the supreme court Of the state
upon this constitutional question. The court
at that time was com posed exclusively of Re-
publican judges, aud Judge MAXWELL, who was
the Republican candidate for governor in West
Virginia last fall, delivered the opinion OF the
court sustaining the decision Of the president
of the senate, declaring that the bill had re-
ceived a constitutional majority and was
valid law. Taking, then, the precedent es-
tablished by a Republican court the Demo

a COLLEGE IAUGHED no DEATH.

THE wit of the paragrapher is demonstrated
to be power. This is illustrated by the state
ment of Vassar professor that the college
has not more than half the students it had
ten years ago, and the cause of its falling
off he ascribes to the fact that the college and
its students have become target for the
paragrapher's wit. ''Vassar," says the pro-
lessor in an interview with New York Herald
reporter, ''has become a thing to poke fun
at. Half the new jokes about girls are put
upon the Vassar students. Their doings are
ridiculed, exaggerated, falsifed, and the very
name of Vassar is the synonym for feminine
foolishness. The consequence is that girls
are beginning to dislike TO go there. would
not be surprised to see the doors of the col
lege shut in five years more. The newspaper
photographers will have done it"
While this is forcible illustration of the
power of paragraph wit, still it would be la
mentable to have the brave experiment of
MATTHEW VAssAR and the noble institution
he founded fail because of the indulgence of
misdirected wit. Perhaps the faculty of Vas
sar might discover on close examination
that there has been a good deal that is really
ridiculous in the customs of the college
students. If so it ought to be laughed down.

RAILROiD LEGTsLIrIoN.

The house refuses 10 concur with the SEN
ate's views of the kind Of a railroad law
needed for this state, and tacks on to the
senate bill various amendments that were
originally embodied in the house bill which the
senate declined TO adopt Il will now be
seen whether or not the two branches of the
legislature can come to an agreement. II
does look as II the senate bill provides for
more commissioners than are necessary to
perform the duties required by that bill. One
commissioner would probably have ample
time to perform all the requirements Of the
senate bill, and If so, there would hardly be
necessity for imposing upon the state the
expense of two superfuous officers 10 occupy
sinecure positions. On the other hand If
the house amendments were adopted there
would be work enough TO keep the three
commissioners provided fer in the bill busy
all the time.
With the TctptiOn OF section l6 in
cluded in the house amendments there can
be no special objection TO the demands
made by the lower branch Of the lecis-
laiure, provided there is 4 necessity for
any sort Of legislation. II after thorough
investigation of the subject the lsgisia

fiercely, lighting up all the central and west
ern portion Of the city. The fire had gained
considerable Roadway before it
was discovered 1t evidently started
in the rear of the stage, and was first OBJ
served by two police officers on their beat in
the neighborhood as it burst through the
roof just over the center of the stage. They
aroused the engineer Of the theatre. who was
asleep in the second story of the building.
80 rapidly had the flames spread that they
were compelled to put 4 ladder to his window
and he only escaped in his night
clothes. The fire department was soon
on the scene but within ten minutes from
the time the fire was discovered and before
anything could be done to check it the whole
interior OF the theater was a body of flame.

cupied as cheap restaurant, and several
small buildings in the lot in the rear of the
tbeater, and between it and the back of the
Ebbitt house. The wall and roof of the Har-
rs house adjoining the theater were
pretty badly damaged, and only the most
strenuous eXertions on the part of the ire
men prevented the whole building from
destruction. The theater building of which
only crum bling walls remain, was owned by
W. w. Raplev, who also managed the theater.
He estimates the value of the building at
S100, 600, and the furniture, scenery and
properties at $50, 900, and says his insurance
is about $40, 600. The value of the wardrobe
of the company is not known

building, occupied by Miller IL Jones, was
completely destroyed, with most of the con-
tents, among which were twenty billiard

at about $780, 900, but are unable to say what
portion of this sum is covered by Insurance.

The WGyto Settle IL.

CThis suggestion by the Aberdeen News
IS regarded as pertinent and iudicious There
is but one way to adjust the difficulty which
exists in the territory over the question Of
division. This is for the Legislature now in
session to provide for special election at
which the question of division shall be sub
milted to the voters OF this territory. Talks
about constitutional conventions, before the
question of division IS fully determined, are
premature. The News fayors the passage OF
a bill calling an election sometime before the
convention Of next congress at which it shall
be determined whether or not the people Of
Dakota desire division. IT is for them ~ say
and no one else. Not alone the people Of
South Dakota nor the people Of North Dakota,
but of the entire territory.

As Mr.. GLADSTONE listens to the cries OF
the street and hears reports of the talk oil
clubs and reads in the Pail Mall Gazette that
''his once glorious sun is now setting benin d
black and lurid Clouds, - he may well medi-
tate on the instability Of human greatness
And it may also occur to him that monarc Il
les are just as ungrateful as republics, an
fully as inconsistent and unreasonable. For
years past the majority of English people have
sounded an unbroken chorus of glory in be-
half of GLADSTONE and he has received from
them continuous and enthusiastic support
whether in parliament, or publishing ho-
merle essay, or cutting down big trees. But
now they turn and rend him with extraor-
binary vigor and unanimity because Of a
slow and Intellectual campaign of the British
army in the East, in which the Eu-
glish people acquiesced. When the blood
of the British is up they are as cruel to each
other as to their foes. A tempest of denuu-
citation RACES around the great premier. No
body stops to reflect that he has done no new
thing to forfeit public confidence. The Brit
ish arms have met with reverses and for the
present GLADSTONE must bear the weight of
respon sibility for what has happened. He is
the victim upon whom a late admiring king
dom is now anxious to wreak its vengeance.
Mr.. GLADSTONE is not the first English states
man to flee to the wilderness with the sins of
his people upon him.

parture of the Coldstream guards to the

name from the place where they were hrst
organized, town in Berwickshire on the
ronte from Scotland to England. The regi-
ment was raised by the famous Gen. MONK
in 1859, and was at first called "MoNK's regi-
ment." Afterwards, when it became incor-
porated with the guards given to CHARLES III.
by parliament, the name was changed to the
Coldstream guards, which has been the dis
tinctive title of the corps ever since. They
