WHEN the Ohio Republicans got
possession of the Legislature a few
years ago they at once redistricted the
State so as to allow :he Democrats
but five out of the twenty-one Con-
gressmen. Now the Democrats pro-
pose to give the Republicans dose
of their own medicine, and will redis-
trict the State so as to make seven
teen Democratic and four Republican
districts.

THE past week has been an excit-
ing one in the House of Represents
tives. Speaker Reed, backed by
every Republican member, has prac-
tically assumed the role of dictator,
and, failing to adopt any rules for
the guidance of the House, the ma
jority are riding roughshod over the
minority. The Democrats refused to
vote until rules were adopted, thus
proposing to have no quorum and stop
proceedings Speaker Reed, however,
with calm assurance and disregard
for precedent and decency, counted
the Democrats as present, anyhow,
by this means subscribing the party
ends. The Democrats have bitterly
denounced this usurpation of power,
and if the Speaker were anything else
than a cold-blooded, INSCRIPTIONS
party trickster, he would have wilted
under the flood of scorn and indigna-
ton which the outraged Democrats
poured upon him. Congressman w.
l.. Wilson poured hot shot into him
on Monday, and held him up to ridi
Guile while endeavoring to puncture
his thick skin with the shafts of wit
and sarcasm. But the Speaker is
still holding the fort and the Repub-
lican flag still flying.

SECRETARY TRACY'S ESCAPE.

In the meantime an awful tragedy
was being enacted in the rear of the
house. When Officer Cottrel dashed
through the flames on the stairway
he made his way to the rear room.
The smoke almost blinded him and
he tried to make his way to one of
the rear windows for air. While
cropping along he stumbled over the
body of Secretary Tracy, which was
lying in the centre Of the room.
Although almost overcome himself,
Cottrell reached down and tried to
carry the Secretary to a window. He
is not strong man, and Mr.. Tracy's
dead weight was too much for him, SO
he seized him by the arms, and drag
ging him on his back, succeeded in
getting into the bath room. which
adjoins the Secretary sleeping apart
ment. Closing the door behind him,
thus shutting off all escape for him
self, he burst out the single window
pane and shouted for help.
Cottrell raised the unconscious Sec
rotary up in his arms and laid his
head Oh the window sill where the
cool breeze could fan him. \ few
moment later fremen appeared in the
yard with ladder, but before they
could place it Chief Engineer Paris,
of the Fire Department, burst through
the roaring flames on the stairs and
opening the bath room door, aided
Cottrell in holding Secretary Tracy
up to the window. Then with the
aid of the firemen outside, the insensi-
BILE burden was carried gently down
the ladder and into the home of Judge
Bancroft Davis, which backs up
against the Tracy mansion.
A DREADFUL DISCOVERY.
Officer Cottrell was taken down the
ladder, but Chief Paris refused to
leave until he had seen if everybody
