MR.. LANES STORY.

Was Arrested i'm Chicago.
J. NJ. Lane, who was arrested N
Chicago on Saturday on a capias issued
at the instance of c. A. Paltzer q Co.,
of that city, FOR having frauduiently
failed TO furnish them with the amount
of lumber sold them and for which he
was paid $4,000, is a well known citi-
zen OF Grand Rapids.
Mr.. Lane has been for a long time an
extensive dealer ia lumber at Muskcgon
but Of late has not been successful and
in October last made an assignment TO
j. NJ. Clark. His liabilities were about
500 600, and when the estate y wound
up II Is not probable that the assets viii
yield more than - per cent. 10 the
creditors, If that much. NJ. W. Bates,
who is assisting IN settling the matter,
said % The TEIEsRAM-liERkI.D yester-
day that the arrest IN Chicago was
merely spite work; that the lumber
was bought 10y the Chicago parties in
the river and they knew how much
they were getting. and that their claim
j. only little over s. 600 and not
s6. .195.88, as stated in the dispatch pub
lished Yesterday. This Is a disputed
claim and Mr.. Lane wlll contest Il %
the end. Mr.. Bates said that Lane had
teicgraphed to him about has arrest
and that he would secure bond for
81 800 yesterday, bat be had not heard
whether he had succeeded or not. Mr..
Bates said the as gmment Of Lane was
an honest one and that ne felt sure ne
had made 40 false representa- tons u

NORTHWEST DEMOCRACY.

The political phase of the election in
the four states has very little signifi
canoe. 1t is quite as favorable to the
Democrats as there was reason to eX-
peet. For the first time in the DaKOtas
there has been any tension on the DEM
Ocratic line. The party in both states
comes out of the contest well organ
lied, harmonious and in perfect line
with the national organization. They
have much stronger representation in
the legislature than they ever had in
the territorial body, and have picked
up half the circuit judges in the North
and several things here and there.
They are in excellent condition in both
states to take advantage OF circum-
stances. They have held the Republi-
cans down and somewhat decreased the
majOrites of former elections. The vote
on prohibition in both states shows that
they are not keeping up with the
popular trend i'll the Eastern states.
Montana has about righted itself after
the big landslide last November. The
state was flooded with political apes
ties from the states. and even the far
East. trying to stampede the wool
growers with the fear Of free wool. The
result is full of encouragement to the
Montana Democrats. That state may
be pretty safely counted for the Demo
Gratis hereafter. Washington was flooded
with new settlers, and majority of
them seem to have been Republicans.
The net results are to add FIVE to the
Republican vote in the house, four to
the majority in the senate, and give
them a balance of seven votes to add TO
their electoral column.

The Common Duty.

1t is easy to praise rich and pretty girl
or almost any exhibition of kinship to
the less fortunate, as the common view
is. The daughter of one Of the New
York millionaires runs a typewriter
in her fathers Office, and the example is
held up in glowing celOrs as one worthy
of special admiration. The young lady
has no use for the wages. and is said to
take the place from distaste for social
frivolities. Parallel cases are not un-
common. Credit is often claimed for
ladies of wealth because they do their
own homework, make their own
dresses. or do something that is COM
monty done as a matter Of need for sup
port. Work is always honorable, and it
S commendable in all persons to have
industrious habits. But the popular
notion that persons who are above
pecuniary needs are to be praised for
filling avoeations like those indicated is
not, after all. an incentive for exhi-
bitIons of enthusiasm. 1t may be re-
membered that the many are compelled
to find work to live. They are
crowding all the industrial open
ings and often are unable to
find employment. The daughter of
the millionaire who operates the type
writer deprives girl who can fill that
place quite as well of the opportunity to
make living when she has no other
resource for support than her own
hands. Sc with the lady who necdlessly

when it was first advanced. The story.
as told by the London ossippers, is that
a certain Mrs. WINTHROP, of Balti-
more, several years ago wrote novel
called ''Winfred." but. on account of
her lack of literary reputation. none of
the leading publishing houses would
accept it. La her extremity she APP
peaied to Mrs. BURNETT, who offered to
render assistance, but failed to keep
the promise. In the meantime, Mrs.
BURNETT had read the story in manu-
script and pronounced it very clever.
The Baltimore lady, having more con-
fdenee in her literary abilities than the
magazine editors, persevered in her
effort to find publisher until she fin
ally succeeded in selling it to publish
ing house that was about as obscure as
herself. The book was published, but
created no sensation, consequently its
career ended with the first edition.
Mrs. BURNETT denies that she
had ever seen "Winfred" or heard of
Mrs. WINTHROP until this charge of
plagiarism was made. and sticks to her
old story that her boy VIVIAN was the
real model for the hero in Little Lord
Fauntle roy" 1t is unfortunate for Mrs.
BURNETT, however, that there is strik-
ing similarity between ''Winfred" and
her own famous book; not only in the
plot, but many of the same ideas in
"Winfred" are reproduced in exactly
the same language in Little Lord
Fauntleroy." And worst of all for Mrs.
BURNETT. ''Winfred" was published
five years before her own delightful
little story began to appear in serial
form in the magazines. The mystery
will have to be cleared up somehow.

MONDAY CHATTER:

Some may initiate the feats of the I'M
fortunate BISHOP in following the bent
OF other minds, but it is fortunate OH
the whole that nature has made every
human being a monopolis and autocrat
of the apartment where the individual
dwells alone. 1t would be a terrible
world if men and women could really
look into the minds of each other and
see full panorama of all the expert
ences and history of the past, and the
thoughts and purposes of the present.
One of the pulpits stated it perhaps
strongly, recently, when it said that if
a person were able to penetrate this
arcanum, and note its struggles, agonies
and tortures, he would lose his reason
before he had gone from Bridge square
to the Merchants hotel. There would
be little need of any other hell. even in
the sternest theology, if the human
tenements were transparent. There
could hardly be such things as conf
dence, friendship or love, unless it
caused such a transformation as to in
augurate millennium. With the har-
boring now given In the current mind,
its seclusion is essential to the existence
of society.

AHARRIsoN MISTAKE.

When the Republicans were fixing up
the schedule of the South Dakota con-
stitutiOn in the early part of the sum-
mer they evidently had the impression,
then believed to be prevalent in the
presidential mind. that an extra session
of congress would be called in the latter
part of October; so they provided that
the legislature elected Oct. l should
convene Oct. Is. for the sole purpose of
electing a United States senator, and
adjourn to January upon completing
that election. But the HARRISON mind
was mistaken: no special session is to be
had, and the people of the South are
put to the needless expense of an extra
session. 1t was emergency business,
providing that legislature in so large
and sparsely settled state should as
semble in fourteen days after the cleo
ton. Party needs only cause such emer-
0encieS,
