The judiciary committee, was seized with
sudden indisposition after his able argu.
ment in opposition to the granting Of suf-

and it was severe mental strain added
TO which was the excitement OF speaking
to the immense concourse present during

''Mr. Dixon had rendered a special
train free of CHARGE"
As matter of fact Mr.. Dixon did
tender the special train, but it was after
the company had purchased its tickets,
and the tender was regarded at the time
by railroad men as clever kind of a.
bluff. Mr.. PetSch is ruStler, and doeSn'b
care who knows it. He is accused of having
made money while he has been an alder
man, but those who know him best say
he would have made more if he hadn't
been an alderman, and that any young
man of his ability couldn't help making
money in this thriving city and in this
particular time. He has been one of
the Understanding and most valuable
members in the city council while ha
has been there. He is pretty solid with
the workingmen on account of his
work there. Among some of the meassi
ureS which he has voted for was
the ordinance providing for three-i
cent fare for wOrkingmen OH the cable
line, and he was one of the few who
stood with Aid. Kain and insisted on
recognizing the workingmen. He is on
record, too, as having favored the.
measure making $3.50 the minimum
price of days labor on city work, and
he also voted for the ordinance to
license employment agencies. These
are few of the things he has done since
he has been in the council, and his rec-j
ord straight through stands for him; j
for, with single exception, no one has
accused him of being dishonest; and
there's $4,000 libel suit pending, just

That Is What Good Citizens Call
the Doodle Cry of the Repub-
lican Press.
The move for the citizens ticket does
not pan out as some of the movers had
an idea it would. The Republican man
ayers came to the conclusion that it
would be of little or no good without a
head, and when they looked around
for the proper timber the timber
wasn't in sight. 1t was part of the
scheme when the move for citizens
ticket was inaugurated to raise the cry
of s.boodleism" and fraud in the man
agement of the city affairs, and the
party organs were only too glad to help
the thing along by proclaiming to the
world that the city is in the hands
of thieves and plunderers. These
lies have been, with few
exceptions, just indiscriminate and
general enough to dodge libel suits.
Under the cover of this cry against
members of the council, the party Or
gans have hurrahed the crowd for citi-
zens' ticket, which honest men OF all
parties might support. This was the
plea put forth for what was really an
attempt to get Mr.. Hillyard, the cOlOred
mems representative, off the ticket. But
that plea hasn't worked to any great
extent up to date. They wanted Gen.
John B. SanbOrn, one OF the best
known Republicans. to head the ticket,

The Bill FOrfeiting Hasting & Da-
kota Lands Reported to the
House.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-MacDonald,
from the committee on public lands, re-
ported favorably with amendments his
bill for the forfeiture of lands granted
the Hastings & Dakota railway and for
the relief of settlers thereon, and pur-
chaserS thereof. Report states that the
committee came to the conclusion that
the grant of these lands was upon the
condition subsequent, that there was a
breach of such conditions and by such
breach all lands not patented to said
company on March Z, 1877, reverted to
the United States. and have been sub
ject to forfeiture, and that justice to the
United States and her citizens requires
that forfeiture and restoration of these
lands to the public domain should be
declared by congress. This bill will
accomplish the desired result. 1t has
been urged that the time was extended
by the Minnesota legislature, and in
asmuch as the road has since
been constructed, it would be un-
equitable to now declare forfeiture.
The report states any such action by the
state legislature was unauthorized by
congress, of no binding force, and was
contingent upon the approval of con-
gress, which was never given. AS to
the equitable claim, based upon the
construction of the road, it is only nee
essary that company with no better
record for fidelity in the performance of
its obligations, is not in position to ask
congress to ignore the claims of such
persons as settled upon these lands
after its default, and who have contin-
ued to reside and made valuable inn
provements thereon. Railroad corpora
tiOns seem to regard it as common law
that they are entitled to all legislative
immunity from default, while actual
settlers shall be held to strict and mar
row construction of the law, and be
only granted such favOrs as do not con-
flict with the demands OF the corpora
tion. The committee believes these
actual settlers have claims upon the
government for protection, but his bill
proposes to be exceedingly liberal with
the company in confirming all bona
fide sales made prior to Jan. last a
matter of no small Importance to those
who purchased.

MIR. CoNKL1NG's CAREER.
Salient Facts in the Life of Man
Who Was a Power.

Who Was Power.
Roscoe Conkling was born at Albany
Oct. 80, 1929. He was the son of Hon.
Alfred Conkling, who was member of
the Seventeenth congress from New
York, and who was appointed by John
Quincy Adams in 1925 Judge of the
Northern district of the state. He was
also minister to Mexico by the
appointment of President Fillmore.
Roscoe received his education in the
common schools and the academy of his
neighborhood, after which he accom-
panied his father to Auburn and Geneva,
and then under him commenced prepar-
alton for the bar, which he continued
three years. In 1916 he entered the
Office of Spencer & Keinan, at
Utica, the latter being the
gentleman who was afterwards to be his
colleague in the United States senate.
man and was appointed the district at
torney of Oneida county not only be-
fore his majority, but prior to his
admission to the bal, and COM
menced not only a brilliant
legal career, but for the next
ten years displayed his remarkable
qualities as manager in politics, be-
coming recognized leader of his party
in New York state. Before he was
thirty years of age he had won such
triumphs as an advocate that he eStab-
lished his pre-eminence and opened the
way to his future career. He married
Julia, sister of eX-GOv. Horatio Seymour,
and made his home in Utica. In 1858
he was elected mayor of that city, and
in the fall of the same year he was
elected a member of the thirty-siXth
congress, taking his seat in December,
1859. He was returned two years later,
but was defeated by Senator Keman in
1862. In '64
HE WAS AGAIN ELECTED,
as he was in 1866, but before taking his
seat in the Thirty-ninth congress he
was chosen United States senator, and
took his place in that body March 4,
1867. He was reelected in 1878 and
again in 1879. He had much to do with
forming the reconstruction policy
of the government, and was
conspicuous in framing and passing the
famous electoral commission act. On
nearly all great questions his voice was
heard with marked attention. In the
campaign of 1876 he was at his best,
perhaps, and was a power. At the Re-
publican convention of 1880, Mr.. Conk-
ling was the leader OF the Grant dele
gates, marshaling his forces and holding
them steadily until the conflict ended in
the nomination of Gen. Garfield. After
the famous Mentor conference" Mr..
Conkling did effective work for the
ticket, carrying New York and securing
the election of Garfield. March "a,
1881, President Garfield sent to the
senate the name of Gen. Robertson for
collector of the port of New York.

firmation, Conkling and Platt resigned
their seats in the senate and sought a
vindication at the hands of the legis-
lature of New York. Both were de-
feated, and Conkling retired from polit-
ical life. Since then he had been ac-

THE DUTY ON SUGAR,
Mr.. Kelley said that the world was in
debted to the fostering care of the gov
ernment for the bountiful supply of
sugar which enabled the humblest of
our laboring classes to include it in the
list of their daily necessities. Coming
to the subject of the surplus, Mr..
Kelley said: 81 would so legislate on
the question of the surplus and the
sources whence it flows as to increase
the wealth, power and dignity of the
country by promoting the development
of its natural resources and the diversi-
fication of its industries, and thus
diminish it dependence upon forei gn
importations upon which duties are
collected. would derive the natiO nal
revenues from customs duties so ad-
justed as to stimulate and defend home
productions, while preventing combina-
tions, trusts and monoplies of any kind.
The reduction of taxation should be
effected Immediately by the abolition of
sources of income, the receipts from
which may be computed month by

which he declared that if Mr.. BalfOur

he also was delighted. He assured his
hearers that his arrest would not in-
