The United States senate has gone so
far toward reforming its unrepublican
secret session practice as to modify the
rule regarding executive sessions so as
to provide that hereafter a treaty may
be considered in open session, IL the
majority so desire. This is a very mod
crate concession to the public demand
for an entire abandonment of the secret
session custom, but it is an encouraging
beginning. 1t would perhaps be too
much to expect that the senate would
sweep away this old practice all at once,
and yet it would certainly gain in popu-
lar regard by doing So. Some consider
alton, however, must perhaps be had
for the attachment of the older
senators to the ancient methods
they have so often found convenient
and useful for personal ends, and which
naturally they will reluctantly part
with.
The step forward that has been taken
should encourage renewed zeal on the
part of the opposition to secret sessions
The open consideration Of treaties is the
least important result to be achieved
The real wrong connected with the Sc
cret session practice is the star-chamber
method of considering appointments.
1t is the injury done to the reputation
of citizens behind the barred doors
of the senate, for which senator's es-
cape all responsibility, that is
the greatest evil connected with the
secret session custom. 1t is the oppor-
tunity given senators to-. crafty their
personal or political hatreds that rem
ders the secret session. .repugnant to
every consideration Of fairness and JUS
tice. The custom is without reason
able excuse or justification, and 1t is
only a question Of time when it. will be
abandoned. For the step it has taken,
let the senate be commended.

GOVERNOR GRAY of Indiana al

GOVERNOR GRAY of Indiana appears
to be very promising candidate for the
second place on the democratic presi-
Dental ticket. The democracy by no
means feel sure Of Indiana, in conse-
quence of the very bad record the party
in that state has made, and therefore an
Indiana candidate who is popular at
homo is very likely to be strong in the
national convention. Gray perhaps
would stand best because he would not
be Objectionable to Mr.. Cleveland,w while
Voorhees, would be, and he is not more
popular with the Indiana democrats
than Gray. William r. Morrison Of
Illinois is willing, but then there are
at least two other ambitious pol
iticiahs in that state either
of whom would be equally available, and
who will stand very much. in the way of

JUDGE VAN BRUNT, Of the New York

JUDGE VAN BRUNr, Of the New York
supreme court, holds that lobbyists,
who for pay use their "inauence" In
securing the passage of law, are on an
equality with gamblers who accept a
note from victim on his winnings and
force him to pay. And that such con-
tract is void in law as against public
policy and public morality. The people
OF Nebraska will do well in bearing this
comparison in mind when the railroad
lobbyists hover over the next session Of

SENATOR FARwELL has gone on rec
ord in favor OF an unpledged delegation
from Illinois to the republican national
convention. He says to the republicans
of that state: ''We cannot afford at this
time to engender dissensions and dis
putes by trying to instruct our dele
gates, especially when we know the
democracy will go up in solid column
for Cleveland" 1t would undoubtedly
be fortunate thing if the republicans
of every state could see the wisdom and
importance of avoiding dissensions and
disputes by sending delegates to the
national convention free to act accord
ing to their best judgment after consul
tation with the delegates from other
states. Such policy would certainly
tend to harmony, which is so much to

THE county commissioners have a
project on hand to add another story on
the county Jail: 1t is q very serious
question whether the jail needs enlarg-
ing and whether, in fact, another dol
lar should be expended on the present
unsightly structure. In the first place,
the county hospital, which is now under
construction, will relieve the Jail of all
insane inmates for whom cells are now
set apart. In the next place, the pris-
oners convicted OF minor offenses under
the city ordinances will sooner or later
be placed in q workhouse. Every large
city in the country has its workhouse,
but it is usually located at consider
able distance from the business center.
When, the hospital and work house
shall be completed, the county Jail will
simply be reduced to n prison for par
ties charged with crime during the Pc
riod between their arrest and trial.
With the criminal courts in continual
session, the number of inmates in the
county Jail VIII never exceed thirty to
forty. For this reason as we'll as for
the reason that the Jail will sooner or
later have to be entirely rebuilt, and
probably relocated, the projected build
ing Of another story on the county
prison is, in our opinion, unwarranted.

Funny Campaign Incident from the Late
Home of the President.
Special to the indianapolis Journas.
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-A rather amusing
story connected with the campsign comes from
Buffalo. In one of the bigge,t wards Of that
city an enthusiastic Democratic saloon-keeper
caused to be erected in front Of his groggery q
TALL straight, smoothly polished hickory pole.
To the top of this pole were attached three
Cleveland and Thurman streamers There was
good deal of jollifca,ion as the earth was
packed in solidiy around the base of the hickory
stick, and the boys celebrated tho affair by re-
lievine the cellar Of the enthusiast of great
deal Of its liquid treasures That same night o
platoon Of Harrison ''hustiers' visited the local.
ity after the saloon was closed and one OF them
who had been a sailor on the lakes Skinned up
the pole and to the top OF it nailed long, thin,
tough spar, the extreme end of which was
attached q Harrison and Morton streamer es
long ss the three Cleveland fags put together.
Then he started to descend, and as he did he
carefully creased the hickory from the contents
OF can of pure lard which he had strapped around
his shoulder. All attempts to climb that pole
since that time have proved useless, and the
proprietor OF the saloon, who is roaring mad, 10
said to have offered free whisky during the rest
ef the campaign TO the man who will remove the
Harrison stresmer from above the Cleveland
emblens.

condition of his first victim. he hurried on
to complets his murderous work. At the house
he found Miss Fink preparing supper. She had

that the only question from which trouble can
