WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 13.-Chair-
man Peel visited Senator Dawes in the
latter's committee room this afternoon,
and held long conference with him
concerning the Sioux reservation bill.
Afterward Mr. Peel said: There is
but little chance of getting the bill
through this session. We are at the
mercy of demand for quorum, and
the minutes are being counted by MEM
bers having private bills yet unacted
upon. have no doubt that Senator
Dawes will aid us if we can only get
our bill over there within week." Mr.
Peel speaks truth when he says there is
small chance. There has been but lit
tie, if any, chance since last December,
when the GLOBE sounded the first note
of warning ON the subject.

to death, but the victim will be hope.
lessiy and Enthusiastically dead.
Inc intention is to use a current Of
l,OOV volts, the same, it is said. as that
used IN the Westinghouse street lighting
system. The resistance of the average
man is about $500 ohms, and the current
VIII be calculated to meet a range con-
siderably above and below that figure.
A curious thing about the electrical ex.
ecution business is that 1t is a leading
feature in q contest between electric sys-
TENS, backed by companies in which
many millions OF capital are involved.
The westinghouse company controls the
alternating current system of electric
lighting, and claims that it is more econo.
mlcal and Just as safe as the ordinary
current systems. Between the Wes.ing-
house and the continuous current com
panies there is a deadly rivalry, and a
long time ago the continuous current
folks set out TO drive the alternating cur
rent people out Of business by declaring
that the alternating current was unsafe
and e~ndeavoring to secure the passage
OF laws and ordinances ferbidding its use.
The rivalry has been especially bitter in
this city, where the two systems are in
direct competition, and when the cleo
trical execution subject was under dis
cusslon the continuous current people
thought they saw a chance TO get q
whack at the alternating current com
pany. They jumped in enthusiastically
TO favor the substitution of electricity
for hanging, and when the bill became a
law they were eager to have experiments
made to determine just what system was
best for killing purposes. A series Of
such experiments was made last year,
and before the alternating current peo-
pie were fairly awake to what was going
on he current that they had all along
been claiming was perfectly harmless
had been officially selected as the most
deadly current known, and therefore the
proper one to use in killing criminals.
MIR. Brown was the expert who conducted
both the preliminary and the official
experiments TO determine the best cur
rent TO use In carrying out the law. He
Is one OF the foremost opponents of the
alternating current, and openly says that
he doesn't care anything for electrical
execution, and wouldn't have anything
to q o with such business were it not for
his anxiety 10 prove the deadly nature of
the alternating current. The Westing.
house people feel very bitter about the
adoption OF their current for executions
and declare that the attempt to use it
Will not be successful. One theory is
that the nervous state into which the
prisoner Will be threwn when placed in
me chair Will operate as an Offset 10 the
effect of the current, and render harmless
a current that might Kill a man who was
not expecting it. Mr.. Brown said yes
terday that this was all bosh. Nervous
expectancy, he said, would no NOR e
negative the effect Of electricity upon q
man than il would increase his weight.

Mistaken for n Tramp.

Congressman Houk, Of Tennessee, is
wearing a new suit of clothes. The
mere statement of this fact will not,
probably, strike the people who have not
the pleasure of Judge Houk's ~acauaint-
ance as n Of much Importance or signi-
ficance. But Houk's every day friends
know better, and unless they have seen
him lately they will hardly credit the
news. The truth is that he is a man SO
careless in his attire and go indifferent ia
his personal appearance that a single new
outward garment is an event in Houk's
life; the donning Of an entire new suit at
once marks an epoch. 1t came about in
this wise: The Judge was walking up
Pennsylvania venue recently with a
couple Of western friends, when he was
~accosted by tramp whose raiment might
have been fashionable and new on the
day OF Jackson's first Inauguration.
"Scuse me, may I interrupt you for a
momentY Will you give me the price of
a mealS'
Houk promptly replied: 81 am sorry,
boss, but ! can't help you. I've just
been trying to get the price of a meal
from these gentlemen. l haven't had a
mouthful Of victuals today"
well, | say, pard, you look it," re-
sponded the tramp. as he sided up to the
congressman and looked him over.
Here's a quarter; you are worse off
than I am"
Judge Houk declined the proffered
charity, but he suddenly decided that if
his appearance was such as to excite the
commiseration and ~benevolence Of a
Washington tramp 1t was time for him to
visit a tailor, and he lost no time in
doing 90.

IT is conceded that there will soon be
called an election at which fifteen free
holders will be chosen to formulate new
charter for the city that must be submitted
to popular vote. The date of the cleo
ton referred to is supposed to be not very
far distant. 1t is therefore full time that
the names of freeholders to constitute the
Board should be canvassed. The Trustees
will desire to submit the names of men
who will be acceptable to the largest num-
Der of citizens. The persons to be chosen
should be peculiarly qualified for the task
and free from any relations to the bust
ness of contracting for public works; not
connected with present municipal Offices
noted for their devotion to the interests of
the city; experienced to some degree in
the government of the city in the past by
observation or service; fair-minded and
patient; not the riders of hobbies, nor the
slaves of one idea. There should be legal
talent in the Board, business wisdom and
political skill. Among the fifteen to be
chosen engineering ability and knowledge
of the history of efforts to perfect munich
pal regulation, and understanding of the
literature of the subject of self-government
in other States should have place. In
short, the Board must be constituted with
great care, and only after very full, frank
and perfectly impartial discussion of the
qualifications of the men who are proposed
for the important trust. 1t will be in
order at once to take up the consideration
of the matter and to devote careful thought
to the subject of the composition of this
Board of Freeholders. Unquestionably,
the Trustees will be thankful to the citi-
zens for such interest and suggestion in
the matter as will enable them to name
men who will meet with popular approval,
and who will be likely to give us the very
best results of the experience of other
cities, and of our own, with such new ideas
as wisdom approves.

In Ohio women preachers have had
great difficulty in securing licenses to per-
form the marriage ceremony. In Iowa,
Illinois, and many other States, they have
no difficulty in that direction. Why should
they? If a woman can acceptably fill a
pulpit, and win her robes from theologi-
cal university and clerical authority,
why should she not be permitted to exer-
else all the functions of her Office I?
Women are good teachers, why not good
preachers; they reverence the marriage
bond more than men, why should they
not be allowed TO tie the knot? 1t is no
political Office, no exercise trenehing upon
a manly prerogatiye, therefore let them
bind human hearts by the ceremonial of
the church.

An Indignant Spinster.

A certain maiden lady was twice in life
engaged to be married and each time some
unforeseen event interposed to destroy her
hopes of matrimonial bliss. Hers was a
sad case. Time began to wrinkle her fair
brow, and no new suitors appeared. To
add to her distress, she became sick nigh
unto death. The assistant clergyman OF
the parish-a bashful youth-was sent
for. The sick room was well filled with
sympathizing neighbors when the young
divine made his appearance, and, after
some remarks, proceeded to read portion
of the scriptures.
He fell upon the chapter in which the
woman of Samaria is introduced. When
he read the words, go, call thy husband "
the sick woman groaned little, but when
he uttered the words, "The woman an
swered and said, Il have no husband +"
the old lady rose upright in her bed, and,
with flashing eyes, squeaked out:

WE have thought and said that Sulli-
van, the one and only John L., could be
elected to Congress; that there is Just
enough of the vicious element in Boston to
put Sullivan into the seat of national
legislator. But we are now prepared to
modify that opinion-indeed, to withdraw
it and take an adverse view of Sullivan's
chances" The vicious element despises
the coward, and Sullivan has backed down
before an editor. Certain newspapers in
Boston said of him certain severe things,
so bitter and true, indeed, that they cut
the giant to the soul. He thereupon pub
licly announced his intention of clicking
the stuf6ng out of one of the editors" who
had assaulted him with the weaponry of
verify. He went so far as to announce the
day, hour and place, when the process of
licking the stufing out of an edi tor"
would begin. But when he came to the
sticking point the big bully did not come
to time; he hid away in the slums and
postponed the "mashing" meeting. The
paper has since then repeatedly publicly
invited the brawny brute who wishes to
warm the seat of Representative, that if
he would call around, an editor would be
provided for him to begin upon, but he
has thus far failed to respond. This back
ing down, this showing of the white
feather before so insignificant and nerve
less creature as an editor, willlose Sullivan

No soul, no sense, no sorrow.
Tomorrow the daily yoke,
The crash of the gritty street,
The stoppsge of beck OF folk
That had better use their feet.
