WORTHY OF IMITATION.

The Indiana legislature may not be in
all respects model legislative body;
yet it did two things during its late ses-
sion which our own legislature might
probably initiate. 1t enacted the Aus
tralian election system and solved the
school book problem.
In view of the fact that all political
parties in this state united in demand
for the Australian system of voting, it
occurs to us that the Legislature is
mighty slow in getting around to the
one reform to which every member was
pledged by the platform upon which he
was elected. 1t is not too late yet to get
through an election law incorporating
all of the Australian reforms.
The Indiana solution of the school
book problem was the enactment of a
law providing for the purchase of school
books in quantity from the lowest and
best bidder, and the books to be sup
piled to the pupils at cost.
The Indiana legislature accomplished
some radical legislation in its effort to
head off the governor in the matter of
appointments, and as result the gov
ernor exercised his veto power to an
unusual extent. But there was the
utmost harmony between the executive
and legislative departments ON the
measures relating to election and school
book reforms, the governor signing both
bills as soon as they were presented to
him.

MORTGAGE-EATEN.

A Boston paper, right among the plu-
tocracy that fattens most upon West
erp toll and imprOvidence, criticlses the
action Of the Farmers alliance in Ne
braska in petitioning the United States
senate for an increase in the volume of
the currency as the only chance they
could see for relief from the steady
drain of wealth eastward to meet the
interest on mortgages that are stated to
commonly cost the farmer from 10 to 20
per cent per annum. The paper states
that great many Nebraska farmers,
who once owned farms subject to mort
gage, are now but tenants of the Eastern
landlords. The Boston authority I'M
derstands that the four states that are
to come this year are more thickly plas-
tered over with mortgages than Ne
braSka. In the rapid development of a
country capital must be had, and no
way has been devised to get along with
out mortgages; but while they bring out
the country. the individuals are apt to
be crushed by the load. just as so many
have been who put their capital in the
building of railroads. The luXuriant
and merry harvesters come in later.

FOOD FAKES

One who keeps up with all the re-
searches into the things taken into the
mouth to feed the internal combustion
and keep the machinery moving. nat
urally feels tempted at times to quit
eating or drinking at all. Pretty near
everything is infected with some ele-
ment that is demoralizing and unwel-

never be admitted if recognized. Most
all the articles of food and drink are
more or less adulterated. The scientist
disgusts further with the statement that

THE DAY AT DULUTH.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 11.-Paddy
Doran, the Democratic chief of police,
has been reappOinted after the
hottest fight ever known in the record
of the Duluth common council. The
mayor had sent in his appointment for
confirmation by the council. A COM
was virtually against Paddy, was the
ground on which the opposition took
their stand. 1t was led by Aid.
Swanstrom, who was we'll supported
by Aid. Armstrong, Daley, Long
and M. j. Davis, but the other side was
too strong and the opposition gradually
lost. Those in favor of Doran were the
four Democrats, President Costello and
Aid. Louden, Thomas and G. w. Davis
and Aid. Dingwall. Kennedy and Kugler.
Swanstrom and his supporters made
two weeks. to table and everything they
could think of to delay action, but the
confirmation was finally obtained by Il
vote of seven to FIVE.
Emil Hartman to-day offered $4,000
worth OF Portertield scrip to be placed
on lot Z andi the southwest quarter Of
section 80, IS, IL. This property lies
just south of the famous Eaton-Merritt
mine, and is considered as very valuable,
the forty being known as Hyde forty"
The application of Hartmann was re-
jected, as it conflicted with the Chip
pewa half-breed scrip of James H.War-
rem, offered in 1855 by Huntress and
Brown. The Chippewa scrip was at
the time NOT allowed as if oOnf1ictpd
with the claims of Hyde and
Fleer. Since that time Hyde'S
claim has been knocked out, but Fleer'S
is still contested by j. w. Derby. J. I'll.
Chandler also recently offered Valentine
scrip worth S24 for the Hyde forty"
and his application was refused. AS
Porterfeld scrip takes precedence over
everything. Hartmann is considered as
good as in possession of this rich mine.

ARMY STATISTICS.

One of the scommendable features of
the law recently enacted for taking the
next census is the provision for enumer-
ating the men who served in the army
during the war. The dates, duration
and character of their services are to
be gathered. This will be information
of great value, especially to the pension
department. There are now no data
even approaching reliability and COM
pleteness as regards the number of sur
viyors. The &. A. r. has recently pub
lished the record of its membership the
past year, with the total of 3S4.5388.

MEDICAL HYpoCHoNDRIACs.
Doctors Who Become Cranks Re-
garding the State of Their Own
Health.

Health.
Physician in Globe-Democrat.
So many people are hypochondriacs
that a physician expects to find one-third
of his patients laboripg under imagln-
airy ills. 1t is easy for people to exag-
gerate symptoms, and by giving them
selves into the hands of quacks,
become confirmed victims OF i'll
health. What is not at all I'M
usual is to find physicians who
hsve become thoroughly hyped,
Many of them. with great reputa-
ton and large practice and capable of
diagnosing any case, become cranks
concerning their own health. They ex-
aggerate the slightest symptoms into
dangerous cases, and believe they have
chronic troubles when they know that,
in patient, it would be but slight in
disposition. Most physicians are not
competent to treat themselves, and
many of them are confirmed hypo-
chOndriacS.
Medical students begin early to i'm
agine themselves afflicted with the
various diseases they are studying. l
remember when at college | had ROOM
mate who became thoroughly hyped
after entering the course. One day he
caught a cold. and that night suddenly
informed me he believed he was going
to die. as he was certain that he was
afflicted with new malignant
fever, which he had been study
ing that day. l went i'm
mediately for one Of the professors, and
he not being in. had another come.
The second understood the case at once
and gave my friend some simple rem
edy, and later the first came, and he,
wishing to give the young man alesson,
made me administer liberal dose of
ipecac. This made him very sick, but
it cured him of the malignant fever.

Busts of Vice Presidents.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Severa.
years ago the senate by resolution
authorized the purchase of busts of all
the vice presidents of the United States
who have presided over the United
States senate since the foundation OF
the government. These busts are to be
placed III the various inches in and about
the senate chamber. There were three
vice Presidents living at that time-Ham-
lin, Wheeler and Arthur, and steps were
immediately taken to secure busts while
they yet lived. At the same time con-
tracts were entered into for the pur-
chase of busts of the earlier vice pres
identS. The first to come to hand is
that of Thomas Jefferson. This was re-
ceived at the capitol few days ago. 1t
is made of white marble and is of heroic
size. Its exact location has not yet been
etermined upon.

ToWNsHEND's SUCCESSOR.
The Lucky Man Will Probably BE
Quincy f.. Browning.

WASHINGTON, March IL. - The
vacancy in the Nineteenth Illinois dis
triet, caused by the death of Represen-
tative Richard W. Townshend, will
bring on spirited contest. There is
practically no dang er of the Democrats
losing the seat, as in vote of some
10000 the Democrats have always car
ried the district by large majorities.
MIR. Townshend's plurality at the last
election being 1890 votes. Politicians
here seem to think it more probable
that Quincy 3. Browning, at present
special inspector of the pension bureau,
will be nominated as Mr.. Townshend's
successor. Mr.. Browning is bright,
clever young politician, who is very
popular at home. He will encounter
strong opposition for the nomination,
but the Illinois politicians at this point
say that he will undoubtedly win the
fight.

The Times in a Quandary.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, March lit is asserted by
the Pail Mall Gazette that the Times
has decided not to close its case before
the Parnell commission tomorrow. as
its counsel had intended to. This
change of front is made, it is alleged, in
view of recent events which have made
it desirable, if not absolutely necessary,
for tue prosecution to make further
attempts to bolster its case, so that the
assaults of the defense shall not en-
tirely demolish it. There is not much
left of the Times original Indictment
against the Parnellites, and there will
likely remain next to nothing of the
Wanted accusations when the final adj
journment takes place.

Felisty McGinnis had answered "yes"

from sight with a rapid yet sneaking
motion toward the back of the sofa on
which they sat, and the fingers of his
right hand appeared to be feeling for
something in his vest pocket, 'you
have made me the happiest man in the
world"
The timid, upturned glance of hel
liquid dark eyes, and the warm blush
that oyerspread the happy face of the
lovely girl replied more eloquently than
words could have done.
"And you will forgive my presump-
ton, darling" he continued, ''if in an

WHITE HOUSE EPISODE.
The Minneapolis Fiambeau Clut
Narrowly Escape a Snub.

Narrowly ESCAPE SnuD.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Min
neapoliS Flambeau club had narrow
escape from snub by the president
Friday afternoon. and the boys can con-
graduate themselves that they were so
ably coac he'd by Charlie Johnson, Tams
BiXby and Tim Byrues, who preceded
the procession to the White house.
After the representatives of the Flour
City had paid their respects in due form
to the president. the crowd of VISITORS
from others parts of the country who
had been restrained by their curiosity
in watching the red uniformed pilgrims,
made rush for the east room. But
the president was not there. having sue
ceeded in escaping from the invaders
by rear door. Finally the crowd be-
came clamorous, and the president en-
tered the room but made no effort to
shake hands with the nearest of his tor
mentors. Instead of doing so he placed
his right hand behind his back, and
with the left resting careleSSly on his
stomach, he announced to the waiting
multitude that he would be unable
10 go through the pump-handle
process any more. Besides his cabinet
was waiting for him to come up stairs
and he would be thankful if his friends
would not insist upon OBTAINING him.
Murmurs of discomfort were heard
throughout the crowd, and one woman,
holder than her companions, attempted
to remove the presidents hand from Its
easy position on his diaphragm. But
he was like adamant, and despite the
statement of the amazon that she had
been week getting to him he would
not bulge an inch in her direction.
Finally from ont of the crowd came
burly bushy-headed Fred Douglass, and
the president unhesitatingly grasped
the outstretched hand of the famous
negro leader. This was the signal for a
violent Outburst from the others present,
and some went so far as to declare that
it was shame to discriminate so openly.
By way of reply to this storm of abuse
the president scOrnfully surveyed his
visitors and wheeling suddenly, he left
the room and his prosecutors saw him
Ito more. Upwards of 1000 disappointed
voters and their wives filed sullenly out
of the White house, and this led to the
abandonment of the daily handShaking
matinee at the executive mansion.
