Ex-Gambler Tarred and Feathered

CHICAGO, Oct. pa curious as
sault was made tonight upon an ex-
gambler named J. B. Quinn. Two
men held him up in a dark spot on
Lake street, on the edge of Union
park, compelled him to strip to the
waist, poured a bucked of liquid tar
over the upper portion of his body and
then added some feathers by way of
adornment. The assailants then
knocked him down and kicked him re-
peatedly, rendering him unconscious.
He was found by some people strolling
through the park and the police were
notified. but with no trace of the as
sailants. Quinn has been posing as q
reformed gambler" writing. book
on gamblers methods, and is supposed
to have incurred the enmity of the
fraternity, although prominent sport
ing men scout the idea that any such
motive provoked the attack.

naNGERous BusINEss.

In connection with the memorial of
the Massachusetts legislature to con-
gress to empower the interstate COM
mission to require railroads doing in
terstate business to provide additional
protection for brakemen on freight
trains, some surprising facts are elected.
1t has always been understood that
casualties were frequent among this
class of railroad employees, but the data
gathered shows that even in time OF
war the soldier is comparatively safe
when contrasted with the freight brake
mar. No other occupation in the
United States is as dangerous. In fact,
it is asserted that brakeman has only
one chance in five of dying natural
death. One in sixty is totally disabled
and one in nine injured every year. In
single year over 1000 railroad en-
ployes were killed and over $4,000 in
jured, the great majority of them brake
men. Falling from the cars was more
frequent than the work of the fatal
coupling pin. The chief requirements
proposed are automatic couplings and
continuous brakes. The commission
could do a good work in enforcing ap-
planes to mitigate this terrible
slaughter.

NAV RE COMING.

An attorney of South Dakota, who has
unusual opportunities for forming
correct opinion, remarked yesterday that
he believed woman suffrage would be
voted into the constitution of his state
at the election in November. Although
the campaign was not fully inaugurated.
there was interest enough for it to be
made leading topic of discussion at
gatherings and Oh cars, and there was
a surprising degree of favor manifested
for the amendment. The drift of SEN
timent was so uniformly in that direc-
ton as to warrant the belief that the
distinction of sex will be obliterated at
the ballot box. While this is a local
matter exclusively, entirely within the
province of the people Of South Dakota,
it is of general interest, as the adoption
of woman suffrage in a state settled by
people that are warp and wool of the
best culture and civilization of the
country will give the cause a stand
ing it has not yet had. There has
been no test that was broad
enough to show what it really
means. The few women in Wyoming
have been allowed to vote for a good
many years. but voting in territory is
so limited that no attention is given it
outside, and Wyoming is region that
few know much about. 1t has not the
population to lift it into general view.
AS state it will attract the eye more.
but the female voter there will hardly
get beyond the figure of frontier humor.
In South Dakota she will be on the
stage, as it were, before vast audi
ence. A constitutional ballot dropper
there, the example will be held up in
other states all about, and the women
may insist that they are as capable to
| manage political interests as their sis
tiers in Dakota. This no man would
think of questioning. No successful
stand could be made against the access
of the ladies to this right of all the
male varieties, if they really want it.
Whether the advent of the household
queens to the political arena is for the
best interests of society and the sex, fe-
male suffrage in South Dakota will be
an experiment under conditions that
will largely determine its prevalence III
the future.

probably the minimum. There is no
data from which any reasonable APP
proach to the real amount can be had.
This will make an annual pension ag-
gregate Of at least Sl40,000.000. There
are hosts of other pension bills in con-
gress, but there is growing DISPOSE
ton to wait little before going much
further in this direction. The country
wants every man who is less able to
earn living through service in the
army, or leaves kindred for whom he
was unable to make provision from this
cause, to be aided to a liberal extent.
Senator HAWLEY states that Gen.
GRANT, in bis later years, said to him
that his plan would be to relieve the
distress of all honest old soldiers, their
widows and children, but mot dollar
to the abie-bodied men," There is no
party in this matter. The Democrats
have in all wars furnished great por-
ton of the soldiery of the republic, and
will always be lust and generous in re-
quital of the service, but they have
not enc aged very largely In the bust
ness of peddling out pensions for votes.

ALL AGAINST HIM,

There is no need Of any announce
ment that HARRISON wants second
term, and means to be the candidate Of
his party in 1892. He is not at all sim
gular in this. A pretty exhaustive re-
search of the records of the White
house will not find any private diary of
an incumbent that contained an un-
alterable purpose to return to private
life and abide there at the conclusion of
four years. Even the men who got
there by the death of the man elected
have all wanted further term. There
is not much to encourage the present in
icumbent in the precedents. If he will
run back to ANDREW JACKSON, he will
find that his successor, VAN buren,,
got his party nomination, but not the
election. He even ran on side-show
at later period. LINCOLN and GRANT
were war presidents, and not to be con-
sidered. Aside from them, CLEvE-
LAND is the only man elected president
by the people who has had renomina-
ton from his party since 1886. 1t may
be extended to the accidental incum-
bents, as FILLMORE was run in 1856 by
only fraction of the old party. TYLER,
Polk, PIERCE. JOHNSON, HAYES and
ARTHUR were rejected by their parties.
This in each instance probably saved
them from popular defeat. The first
half of his term the president is SO
harassed with the people who want
everything and rasped with the friction
of an unfamiliar situation, that he is
apt to think he will be relieved to get
out of the position; but later he con-
cludes that he wants an Endorsement,
and that the people, if not the politi-
clans, are eager to give it to him. HAIR
RIsoN is so filled with self-esteem that
he already wants the second term. 1t
would be too strong statement that he
is weaker with his party than any of
the others who failed of a renomina-
ton, but none of them had less in
fluence in shaping legislation or the
policies of the party than HARRISON
manifeSts. He has none of the elements
of leadership and little to develop them
out of. 1t would not be a reasonable
present prediction that he could secure
his party nomination. but ALGER is
killed off and SHERMAN out of the
field. HARRISON has vast amount of
patronage to work with. His nominal
ton would not be SO absurd as his cleo

THE RATIONAL VIEW.

The bill that has recently passed the
senate providing for additional pen
sions, and which will presumably be-
come law, comes near the true con-
ception OF business in providing for
those who have impaired ability to live
in comfort through service in the war.
1t provides pension for every old
soldier who is in need of assistance from
disability. 1t also provides for the
widows of soldiers, increases the pen
sions to minor children and continues
them to those who are helpless over
sixteen years of age. Another pro-
vision is the pension to the dependent
parents, without regard to the time or
cause of the death of the son. This act
is expected to add to the pension ex-
penaitnre about So. GOO. but that is

THE OCEAN DANGER.

That the Improvements in ocean
travel have been too rapid for the safety
of steamship passengers was demon
strated by the accident to the City of
Paris. Nothing but phenomenally good
weather prevented the vessel and all on
board from going to the bottom of the
sea. According to the testimony of the
engineer, if there had been a gale at
any time in the two days that the vessel
was helplesslY fiouDdering about in mid
ocean it would have gone down. But as
the weather was fair and the sea calm
the ship drifted along until rescue came.
The trouble With all these fast steamers
is that they go oat on an ocean voyage
as reckless general would go into
campaign, by burning the bridges be-
hind them. They make no provision for
accidents. They rely entirely upon the
perfection of their machinery for safe
trip. This is not wise thing to do,
even with vessels of the most skilled
workmanship. There are no re-
pair shops along the track of
ocean travel. When there is a
break IL the machinery. as there was in
the case of the City of Paris, that is the
end of voyage unless good luck
chances to throw another vessel in the
same track to save the disabled ship
from watery grave. These fast line
steamers will have to go back to the
practice of carrying sail as well as
steam, or they will lose their custom.
If the City of Paris had been rugged out
with sails she could have made harbor
without waiting to be towed in. The
sail rigging makes vessel look little
more unsightly, but passengers on the
steamship lines cheerfully will put up
with the uncomely outfit just for the
sake Of the feeling of security it gives.

sion act Of course can be naturalized. as
some have been. One of these who is
engaged in business and been here for
many years, wants to bring his wife and
children over from China, and made APP
plication for this privilege, but was de-
MED under The exclusion act. This is
hardship. If a man is allowed to be-
come full-ledged citizen ola country
it looks as if he should be taken in his
entirety, both halves and the little frac-
tions. One objection to the Chinese
has been that they did not bring their
wives. 1t is barbarous to force a sep
aration in families if they have any
white human nature about them.

SAINT PAUL
A SWEDISH NIGHTINGALE.

Mile OhrstrOm Charms a Large
Audience at the Peoples
Church.
1t was not as large an audience as
might have been desired, that which
greeted Mile Augusta Ohrstrom at the
Peoples church last evening, yet, con-
Sldering that the rain was falling in tor
rents without, the size of the audience
was complimentary to the singer. Those
composing it were mostly of Swedish
nationality, and surely never was
more enthusiastic gathering seen at
concert in this city. The programme
opened with piano solo by &. Johnson,
"God Save the Queen" QiszD. The
performance was perfect one and the
performer was given the first of the
many rounds of applause which marked
the progress of the concert. Miss
Ohrstrom's first number was "Ihe
Jewel Love-" aria from Faust. In this
this she was no less at home than in the
quaint folk ditties of the native
country. In the first few bars
even she evidenced her posses
sion of a magnificent soprano
voice, with purity and truth in every
tone and pathoS unequalled in the low
sweet strains in which she eXcells. In
the falry-like trills and runs OF the
Spanish 'Bolero' she was absolutely
perfect, and her countrymen and
women for whom she sang last night
were in an ecstacy of delight during
the singing of each number. Miss
OhrStrom's voice is of a character
to place her in the front rank of prima
donna sOpranistes III this or any other
country, for culture and technical per-
&c of &c tI,,
famed singers OF to-day. There has
been some criticism of Miss Ohrstrom's
English, but il must be said that in the
song written for and dedicated to her by
lSadOr MOquist, 1.-THE Young Mule
teer." the sonly number she sang in
English, there was little room for adj
verse comment i'll either the singing or
pronunciation. Prof. Emil Straka
played in his most artistic style several
violin solos, receiving deserved en-
core for each, to all of which he re-
sponded with the grace for which he
is famed. A. w. johnson, in bass sole
work was we'll received, singing Die
Possente from Faust, and later ''Daf-

which the most perfect Interpretation
of any classical selection could not

Straka's playing Miss Ohrstrom paid
the talented young violinist warm COM
pliments, and listened intently to every
note during the entire progress of the
solo. Miss Ohrstrom's manner is TAX
ing, and she has very charming stage
presence, adding materially to the

BACKED BY THE KAISER.
Emin's Task Is to Create a New
Germany i'm Africa.

LONDON, April 3.-The action of Emin
Pasha in concluding an agreement with
Germany to return to Central Africa
has given rise to innumerable theories
to account for his change of front, the
majority of which ascribe his remark
able conduct to pique and jealousy of
Stanley. Other theories are based ON
the belief that Maj. Wissmann has been
authorized to offer him the absolute con-
troll. with sufficient force to keep it in
subsection, of much greater expanse of
territory than he formerly governed as
an ostensible Egyptian chieftain, and it
is confidently asserted that the salary Of
4l,0O0 q year which is stated to be
his salary is but small part of the
em0luments of bis new position. AS to
Maj. Wissmann's augmented activity,
it is assumed that he is inspired by EN-
peror William, whose eagerness to eX-
tend Germany's colonial possessions
and influence in all possible directions
is we'll known. In this belief it is pre-
dicted that Germany will almost imme-
diately inaugurate an aggressive policy
in South, Eastern and Central Africa,
the aim of which is German domination
of every part of the Dark Continent
south of the equator not specifically I'M
der an equally powerful protect
crate. 1t is stated upon the
authority of Sir Francis De Winton HIM
self that he had intended to bring
Emin to London for the purpose of hav-
ing his eyes operated upon, the latter
having consented to come. Emin'S par
tisans-and he has many-assert that
he has from the very first been used as
a cat'spaw and stepping stone for
others less worthy, and declare that his
present action is merely that of an hon
orable man endeavorihg to free himself

seek to use him to further their own

THE MILWAUKEE ELECTION.

The Wisconsin Republicans are con-
siderably disgruntled, by the result of
the Milwaukee election. 1t is natural
that they should not like it: and yet
they ought to have expected it. This
thing of attempting to mold individual
opinion by legislation is most apt to
have an abortiVe termination. 1t was
the PuritaniSm manifested in the BEN
NETT law that caused revolt among
the Milwaukee Catholics and Luther
ans. 1t is all right enough that the
American people should learn to speak
the prevailing language of the country.
In fact, their business and social inter-
ests make it a necessity; and, if let
alone, they will all acquire mastery of
the English tongue in time. But it is a
very different thing when you attempt
to compel people by law to speak any
one language. A mans tongue is his
own, and he has right to wag it in
whatever language he sees proper to
adopt; and this is right every free
American citizen will insist upon eXer-
cising. There is nothing in the
constitution of the United States.
or in the constitution of the
state of Wisconsin, prescribing any par
ticular language for the use of the peo-
pie. The English language is that COM
monty spoken, and, therefore, the pre-
vailing language of this country. But
there is no reason why the people
should not adopt the French, the German,
or for that matter the Sioux language,
if they are inclined to do so. This is
free country where free speech is among
the most sacred of constitutional rights.
The Puritanism exhibited in the BEN
NETT law made it clear that this meas
ure was designed as an entering wedge
for somthing else of more radical ma
ture, therefore the Milwaukee people
dropped politics out of sight and squat
ted On the law with thud that has
alarmed the Republican politicians.
