Bob lnRersoII's Fine Rhetoric.

Mrs. Ida Whiting Knowles. wife OF tho
Hon. Howard Knowles, late United States
collector at Peoria, ILL.,, died in New York
city ON Dec. Is. She was an estimable
woman, and leaves % wide circle OF friends
to mourn her early death. Before her re-
mains were sent to the West Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll delivered the following tribute
to her memory.
My friends-Again we stand in the shad
ow OF the great mystery; a shadow as deep
and dark as when the tears OF the first
mother fell upon the pallid face OF her life
less babe-a mystery that has never yet
been solved. We have met in the presence
OF the sacred dead to speak word OF
praise. OF hope, OF consolation. Another
life OF love is now blessed memory q
lingering strain of music. The loving
daughter, the pure and consecrated wife,
the sincere friend, who with tender faithful
ress DISCHARGED the duties OF life, has reach
ed her journey end "A Drawer, a lore serene,
more chivalric spirit-clasping the loved
and by them clasped-never passed from
life to enrich the realm OF death. No field
OF war ever witnessed greater fortitude,
more perfect, smiling courage than this
poor, weak and helpless woman dis played
upon the bed of pain and death. Her life
was gentle and her death sublime. She
loved the good and all the good loved her.

never suffer more; she can never feel again
the chill OF death; never part again from
those she loves. Her heart can break no
more. She has shed her last tear,
and upon her stainless brow has been
set the wondrous seal OF everlasting
peace. When the angel OF death-the
masked and voiceless-enters the door OF
home, there comes with her all the daugh.
tiers OF compassion. and OF these love and
hope remain forever. You are about to
take the dear dust home-to the home of
her girlhood and to the place that was
once my home. You will lay her with
neighbors that have loved. that are now
at rest. You will lay her where my father
sleeps. All l can say is:
Lay her in the earth,
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
Let voilets spring."

Iowa Registration Law Declared
Unconstitutional:

Judge Stoneman, OF the superior court
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, declaredthe registry
law unconstitutional. The registry law was
passed by the last legislature and was
somewhat similar to the one governing the
registration Of voters in Illinois. The case
was one brought by Col. Clark vs.. the cleo
ton Judge OF the Fifth ward OF that city,
who was refused the privilege OF voting on
election day, he not having registered. The
complainant averred that during the time
when under the law he might otherwise
have become registered he was necessarily
absent at Des Moines in attendance upon
the United States Circuit Court in which he
was practicing attorney. The defendant
demurred to the plaintiffs petition. The
demurrer raised the question OF the consti-
nationality OF the registry act. The decis-
ion Of unconstitutionality which was rem
dered, was based upon q Massachusetts
case, Capen vs.. Foster. IL Pickering 4o5,
and similar cases in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ore
gon and the court holding that with these
decisions the legislature could enact no
law which would deprive q voter ofhis con-
stitutional right.

The Lone Highwayman" Goes Up
for Life.

st. Louis Special: United States Mar.
shall Cabell of Dallas, Tex. reached this
city with Jim Newsome, the high wayman
who, single handed, robbed the stages OF
the Brentwood and Ballinger line over a
score OF times. Newsome is under SEN
tence for life, and will spend the
rest of his days in the Albany, New
York, penitentiary. For the last
five or six years, however, he has indus
triously led his peculiar vocation, rifiing
thirty stages within that time. He always
played lone hand, and his usual method
of procedure was to stop the coach with
persuasive flourish of a six-shooter,
range the passengers in line, and so through
them with neatness and dispatch.
He was never known to modest
a lady passenger, and he frequently handed
back a quantity of small change to his vic
tim. Probably his most audacious exploit
nothing in the shape OF a weapon save
hammer handle, which he handled in the
moonlight in such a way that the fright
ened passengers supposed it was one OF
Smith & NELSON'S best. Brentwood, Bal
linger, Cisco and Angelo formed the princ-
pal theater for his operations, and a stage
never set out from these towns for the last
five years without grave fears OF meeting
this Texas Duval. These robberies became
so frequent and bold last October that
determined search was made for the "lone
highwayman," resulting in Jim Newsome's
arrest in Runnells county by Sheriff Fur.
malt. He was convicted in the federal
court OF robbing the mail with force OF
arms and sentenced for life.

Parting Words from Gladstone.

At Dover, Eng, before embarking for

The darkest blot upon parliament was
the act now in operation effacng tine civil
rights OF the Irish. The Liberals were
charged with interfering with the admins
tration of the law. What he was really
trying to do was to retard the governments
destructive policy OF prevention OF the

seeking to promote justice. mercy and truth,

ing those principles to that unhappy coun-
try they would be subject to criminal
prosecution. Lord Salisbury talked about
the consolidation of the empire while pur-
suing policy OF national disruption.
How could that be . policy OF consolida-
ton which disrega-ded centuries OF ma
tional tradition and opposed the will Of
four out OF five millions OF Irish people.
Ireland only continued within the bonds
Of moderation because she knew she had
the sympathy of friends in England. The
liberal term OF minority in parliament
would cease at the first election. The par
ty had never inscribed on its banner the
name Of q cause without carrying it
through. Having taken up the cause Of
Ireland, the cause would assuredly

Embarrassment Of Minnesota
Railway.

The New York Mail and Express says
The embarra ssment OF the Minneapolis &
st. Louis may fairly be placed to the pro.
crustean efforts OF the Interstate commerce
act, with the cordial and hearty co.opera.
ton of the Minnesota railroad commission.
The road is largely dependent upon
the traffic between Chicago and Min
neapolis and st. Paul. 1t is part OF the
Rock Island route, and is controlled by
that company. Although it is almost 100
miles longer than competing routes it was
enabled to secure enough through traffic
to make both ends meet. Under the op-
peration of the interstate law it was una.
BILE to meet the rates of the Minnesota h
Northwestern and Burlington e. Northern.
To do SO would involve a reduction
of local rates below q paying basis,
and SO the company lost con.
siderable amount OF through business, al
though it had been able in the past to meet
it's fixed charges very nearly. The neces-
sary additions to equipment, and proper
ty have piled up the large floating debt.
It is possible that the stockholders will be
called upon to contribute to the extinguish-
ment OF the floating debt, and the bond
holders will be asked to accept lower rate
ofinterest on the junior bonds. The prop
erty is SO valuable that it will require COM
parativey slight concessions on the part
OF security to holders to make it pay.
