THE CHASTITY BILL.

The bill introduced into the Legislature
by Mr.. Mclaughlin is a very good bill, all
things considered. 1t cannot be said
that the bill is well drawn, in fact it is
rather loosely drawn. Sections 8 and
@ should have named the degrees within
which marriages are forbidden for section
Z refers to the enumerations Of the
two preceding sections as degrees Of con-
sanguinty Section nine needs an
amendment to make IL include in
fanticide by any and all mothers,
whether their child be legitimate
or illegitimate. Section 0 only Furnishes
the mother who shall murder her llegiti-
mate child, and says nothing about the
murder Of a legitimate child by lawful
wife and mother. 1t is to be regretted
that the bill is defective as we point out,
but il it shall pass the House and Coun.
Gil and receive tho Governors signature
it will be great gain towards settling
the Utah question, and would give great
hopes as to what the future would bring
forth. Hope in Utah has found its grave
in the fact that the Territorial Legislature
has not only refused to pass any Law
looking to the suppression of polygamy
in Utah, but have repealed laws that
might remotely be construed to affec
polygamy and punish those who were il
it. This bill of Mr.. McLaughlins whil
not directly aimed at the question Q
polygamy would, in its general applica
ton, include that crime. The bill is il
reality bill in the interest of chastity
morality and decency. The members @
the Legislature can hardly refuse to Civ
their sanction to this bill, but il they dc
the public will be most anxious to kno,
on what grounds such refusal is made
If better bill on the same subject is il
troduced, and the members give it thei
support, they will do proper thing. Nj
Kings bill on the same subject may b
termed plea in avoidance. The pie
should not be allowed. This bill of Nj
McLaughlin's is liable to be rock OF de
struction to the Legislature.

An Eastern man in Dakota said to a
citizen:
"Is this Mr.. Bulge?"
'IIt is" said the citizen, suspiciously.

A BRILLIANT CITY MARSHAL.

On Saturday evening, November %,
1885, at few minutes past o'clock,
shooting affair occurred in Il well known
quarter of the town. Great and extraor-
dinary interest was taken in the affair on
account OF the parties engaged in it. The
one was United States Deputy Marshal,
the other the night-watchman at the
Tithing Office. However the shooting
occurred; whoever may have been the
aggressor, it is certain that the night
watchman, one McMurrin, was shot
twice. 1t is also certain that McMurrin
cannot be found at present. An exami-
nation Of the case is going on to-day be-
fore U. s. Commissioner Mckay, the
charge being preferred against Collin,
the Deputy Marshal engaged in the shoot
ing affair. Now to our story.
The writer was i'm the house on the
north side OF the lane in which the shoot
ing occurred at the time it occurred.
About twenty minutes after the shooting
he had occasion to go to the Opera House
as escort to couple of nieces, about
eight and thirteen years of age. The
writer, accompanied by the little girls
went into the lane where the shooting oc.
Cured out OF curiosity, but in that lane
he found hat which he lifted up with
his cane. On feeling it he recognized
that it was a new soft felt hat, and this
convinced him that something had hap
pened in connection with the shooting
and that the shots were not the mere
discharge OF pistol for the purpose O
unloading it. The writer carried the ha
to the City Hall, where he learned that {
man had been shot. He inquired for the
City Marshal and when he saw the Mar
shal, handed him the hat and told hin
how and where he had found it. TIL,
hat was left in charge Of the Marshal
This morning, near noon, when th,
Prosecuting Attorney was questioning
a sister of McMurrin about thi
hat and whether or not she coulc
identify it, the Prosecuting Attorne,
turned to the City Marshal and asket
him where the hat was. To this ques
tion Marshal Phillips replied that he die
not know where the hat was. The Mar
shal, we understand, took the hat to Nc
Murrin and asked him whether or not /
was his, and McMurrin said !. was. How
does it come that the Marshal does no
know where that hat is? He certainl,
had it, and he certainly should have KEEP
it. Why was the Marshal so anxious t,
find out whose hat it was until the par
ties engaged in the shooting affray shoult
have an examination or trial? Such con
duct of itself is highly reprehensi
BILE, but when the City Marsha
permits the hat to go out of hi
possession, his conduct, that was befor
reprehensible, becomes criminal. NJ
matter whether that hat belonged to Nc
Murrin or Collin or whether the one o
the other was guilty OF an assault, ther
can be no excuse for the conduct of Mar
shal Phillips. Such conduct as that O
which Marshal Phillips was guilty in thi
case proves him to be an eminently i'm
proper person to fill his position. If tn
City Council have any sense OF decenc,
and propriety they will disburden them
selves of such an officer so far as in thei
power lies. He is not fit to have an,
public recognition.

officer nominated by the Governor, but
who is not confirmed by the Council, can
bring an action to obtain possession Of
the office TO which he is nominated is a
question. The Governors nominations,
which we think he'hasa an Organic right
to make, and which are far better than
the average nominations, should be con-
firmed by the Council, and President
Cleveland's nominations to the Senate
should also be confirmed.

ABAGGAGE.sMAsHER IN CONGRESS
A Buriy Trunk-Tosser who Sits in
Frank Hurd,s Seat.

A big German OF 80, as different from
Frank Hurd as heat is from cold, has
come here to represent Toledo in Con-
gross. Hurd is contesting his seat and
there is lack OF 250 votes in question.
Romeis has complexion as fair and rosy
as that Of a blonde milkmaid, while
Hurd's face is strongly brunette. Romeis
will weigh three times as much as Hurd.
He is tail and muscular, with arms made
hard by the handling of baggage. For
years of his life he was baggage agent on
the Wabash Railroad, and he still has
general control Of the baggage OF that
road. He is about 80 years of age, has
full, broad, German face, the lower part
Of which, with beard of black, would
be much like that of ex-Speaker Keifer's.
His forehead is high and broad, his COM
plexion clear, and his eyes, of clear
blue, are bright. He has a pleasant ad-
dress and talks with the slightest German
accent He was born in Germany and
came to this country at ten years Of age,
and began life as cabin boy on one Of
the big steamboats, of Lake Erie. From
cabin boy he rose TO porter, and finally
got into the baggage business as above
stated. During the last campaign ex-
Congressman Sherwood, in making a
speech against him, said: "What dc
you want with this man Romeis in Con-
gress? He is nothing but baggage.
smasher, and only fit to handle trunks. y
Romeis' friends took up this statement
as watchword Of their campaign, and il
was through sympathy that Romeis Sc
cured his majority. His friends wore
upon the lapels of their coats baggage
checks, and on one of the transparencies
was printed:

THE waste of food in hotels and res
taurants, says the Chicago Times, is
something enormous. In London this
waste is practically utilized by the Sisters
of Mercy, who keep some one constantly
in the Kitchen to save all the scraps as
well as the articles thatare returned from
the dining-rooms. These are carefully
sorted and put in covered baskets. The
soups, chowders and gravies are placed in
cans and buckets. At night covered
wagon comes and takes them away.
Some OF the articles are taken to the hos
pits and asylums; the others are dis
tributed among those of the sick and poor
who are deserving.

DOGS doomed to die in London do not
suffer half as much as men who pay the
extreme penalty. In the chemical death
chamber of unclaimed ours, at Battersea,
the dogs trot into the tempting room,
"lie down, curl themselves round and
round, fall asleep" and 80 go to that
bourne whence no four-footed traveller
returns. This lethal chamber is filed
with narcotic vapor produced by passing
carbonic oxide over surface of anes-
thetic mixture-composed of chloroform
and bisulphide of carbon.

FORGOTTEN POETS.

Shelley, in speaking of one of his hero
ines. describes her rs zone of Shakes
peare's women" and Emerson constantly
commcnds us to Putarch's men. 1t is
therefore little startling to read in a
Western journal that Plutarch's men are
crowded out of the minds of young
Americans by the images of Lincoln and
Grant. Against this view Shelley also
supplies comfortable thought:
"True love in this differs from gold and clay.
That to divide is not to take away"
Those laurels of Miltades not only Sc
cured him to heroic remembrance. but
they also cmbalmed ThemistOcles. Lin
coin aud Grant rather send us back to
Plutarch than obscure his gallery. One
of their greatest services is that of re-
vealing to us the truth that the essential

DRIVING BOYS FROM HOME.

Mothers who are disturbed by the noise
and untidiness of boys at home must be
careful, lest by their reprOaches they
drive their children from home in search
of pleasure elsewhere. "T'here are those
banisters all finger marks again. said
Mrs. Cary, as she made haste with soft
linen cloth to polish down the shining oak

village grog-shop.

A NEW ELECTRICAL LoCOMO-
TIVE

A decided departure from the practice
hitherto followed in the construction of
electric engines for working trainways
has been introduced in an electrical loco
motive which has been built for the North
Metropolitan Tramway company. In
ture and having motion transmitted from
it through belt gearing to the wheels of
the car, the motor itself revolves. the
motion being transmitted through bevel
gearing. The system is the invention of
MIR. Elieson, and the locomotive has been
built by the Electric Locomotive and
Power company of London. The loco
motive is similar in appearance to a short
tramcar, and carries secondary battery
consisting of 30 +. =. :. cells. This bat
terry is connected up with the electric
motor, the motion shaft of which projects
horizontally about two feet, and carries
at its end spur wheel which gears into
fixed circular rack. Thus when the
motor is started it is, by means of this
gearing. rotated. A vertical shaft is at
tached to the under side of the motor,
carrying at its lower end a bevel wheel
which gears into one or other of two
similar wheels on the driving axle of the
engine. The mitre gearing is fitted with
friction clutch by means of which the
locomotive can be run either backward
or forward. The 30 cells are equal to
| $50 amperes. and as the average con-
sumption is stated to be 45 amperes per
hour, it follows that there is a good six
hours supply of power carried.
The machinery is so arranged that a
speed of eight miles an hour cannot be
exceeded. Both the locomotive and the
tramcar can be electrically lighted at
night from the battery by means of glow
lamps. We recently inspected the work
ing of this locomotive at the tramway
cOmpany's depot at Stratford, which was
satisfactory in the limited space at COM
mand. 1t was started, stopped, and re.
versed very readily. The machinery is
of simple character, and can be adap-
ted to the tramcar itself in new stock.
The Electric Locomotive company are
building more powerful engine in order
to demonstrate the application of the
system on railway lines.
