HOW THEY ARE WORRIED.

The National Civil Service Reform
league has been Investigating the ques-
tion as to how the patronage business
affects the members of the dominant
party in congress. Inquiries were sent
to all the Republican members, and
replies received from sufficient
number to form general statement.
About $50 positions are controlled by
each member, probably; reference being
had mainly to the offices i'll the con-
greSsiOnal district, and which are as
sigued to the member. Those like
Senator QUAY. who make it almost
their exclusive business to dispense
patronage, are not included. Yet for
these positions, mostly minor postoffiees,
there is an average of seven applicants
for each. The present session the mem
bers have had an army of 1,7OO besleg-
ing the. average Republican for
Office. 1t is computed that one
third of their time is taken
up with trying to get persons into
office. So far as the majority in the
present congress is concerned, it may
not be altogether misfortune TO the
country if two more thirds of their time
should be taken up in getting one fellow
into office and making six others sore
headed. Possibly the members who
have reported have exaggerated some
what to magnify their difficulties and
labors, but there is no reason to doubt
shat the rush for office under this ad-
ministration has been hey ond prece-
dent. The spirit of the FLANAGANs,
CLARKsoNs and spoils seekers has per-
vaded the machine operators. and the
party is to them but means for gather
ing in official loayes. An honest en-
forcement of the civil service system
would afford them some relief, and the
election of postmasters for the smaller
offices would take away the greater
part of the annoyance. 1t is q question
if it is not detriment to party to have
control of the offices.

THE MONTANA THEET

1t does no good to cry over split milk.
1t is worse than folly to grieve over
what is gone never to return; therefore
the Democrats have no occasion to waste
useless regrets over the theft of the
Montana senatorships. So far as the
partisan loss is concerned, it can and
will in time be regained.
But there is another aspect of the
case which does deserve the most
serious consideration, and which will
keep the incident forever fresh in the
memoryof the American people. There
have been times in the past when mem
bers have been admitted to both
branches of congress upon whose titles
totaeir seats cloud rested. There have
been times of fierce partisan agitation
when the will of the majority seemed to
make valid defective title. But this
is the first instance in the history of our
national legislation when either branch
of congress deliberately and without
provocation seateda member who didn't
even have the shadow of a title to
his seat, but whose bogus claim was so
patent and so notorious that all ~the
world had taken notice of it, and every
honest American hung his head in
shame when the infamy was perpe-
trated.
The effect of the seating of POWER
and SANDERS will be felt long after
both of their terms have expired. Di-
vested of all technical detail, the act
was nothing more or less than the
most audaciouS anarchism, and will be
seIZed upon by the lawless and reckless
elements of society as a precedent to
justify revolutionary conduct. If an
archism of such an outrageous type is

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Norden Theatef company has
been greatly improved since last week.
and tonight and tomorrow night will
appear in the great four-act drama,
s'fhe Boy of Paris" in which Mrs. S.
Sandvig, whose singing last week at
tracted SO much attention, will appear
as Joseph, the hero of the play. George
Harrity takes the part of Gen. Morange
and Miss AXelson appears as Nine. Mo-
raine. The cast includes Mrs. Stoep,
John Gestdahl, Miss Hammer and others.
One of the features of the play will be
a duet by Mrs. Stoep and Mr. Gestdahl.
The management of this, the only
strictly Scandinavian theater in the
country, is now fully convinced that the
venture will be complete success, and
will respond by putting OH heavier
plays than have been given heretofore.

to be tolerated in the highest legislative
department of the government, how
can we hope to check its growth in the
humble walks and among the common
people?
A lie entered upon record does not
make truth. The senate journal declar-
ing that POWER and SANDERS were
elected senators from Montana does not
make it so. They were never elected;
and what is more, they never will be.
for the good people of Montana will see
to it when the opportunity is given that
the fair name of their young state shall
be cleansed of this foul blot, so far as
they are able to wipe it out. But it
is not that phase of the question we are
discussing, so we will return to the
graver side of it. which con-
Germs the whole American peo-
pie. The danger of the precede Mt
that has been established cannot
be overestlmated. We are now in the
midst of peculiar crisis in our ma
tional affairs, whenit is the part of wis
dom to exercise the utmost cOnserva-
tism, and to impress upon the minds of
the people that the government, in all
of its departments, can be relied upon
to perform the most equal and exact
justice to all classes of its citizens.
There is feeling of unrest and uncer-
tainty pervading all industrial interests.
Even capital is not sure of its footing,
while the laborlng classes are in a fever
ish state of discomfort. The trembling
of an earthquake is felt beneath the
whole social and political fabric, and an
underlined apprehension has seized upon
all classes of society lest something
terrible may happen, and that it
may come from source least eX-
pected and not to be guarded against.
In view of all these things, this is the
time of all times when conservatism
should sit enthrOned in the high places
of the land, and those in authority should
set the example Of administering justice
in the light by which it can best be un-
derstood and appreciated by the multi
tude. This is no time to be hunting up
technical coverings with which to cloak
fraud, nor is it time for the arbitrary
exercise of partisan power, regardless OF
the equities that enter into question.
Faith in popular government must be
shaken when the majority of the people
are denied the right to name their rep
resentatives in the legislative councils.
And when the masses shall lose faith in
our institutions, where shall refuge be
found from the calamities that shall
surely overtake us?

Easter Sunday in New York was

dress parade of New York's swell 400
was sight worth seeing. Taking a ear.
l went up to Thirty-fourth street and
walked slowly with the gay throng to
the cathedral at Fifty-third street. The
air was cool, and so the new bOnnets,
which spoke so plainly of the spring
which ought to be here, were offset with
fancy wraps of all kinds. Shoulder
capes of every conceivable shape and
material, from cheapest cashmere to
finest sableS. were displayed, and so
general was their use that the ladies
seemed to be uniformed in them. 1t
was evident capes are the thing; and,
after all, what is more sensible for mild
weather in winter or early fall and
spring wear? Capes are no longer the
akward things of the past, which so
few could wear and look we'll in, but
are really works of art, with their fancy.

from the South, where the thermometer

ladies had adopted the English fashion
of wearing fur capes with summer
dresses for evenings, and for driving in
day time.
Last year in London in July | was as
tonished to see ladies on Regent street
with light lawns and dainty para

it seemed so ineongruous and out of
place, but the ladies seemed to think it
the proper eaper." This was rather
extreme, but the use of caDeS in sum-
mer evenings is certainly sensible. One
thing is certain-all the Eastern cities
have the craze now. and manufacturers
here are busy making caDes. We
can look to see the fashion with us this
summer. i have secured all the desira-
bic patterns for these articles, and also

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The conference
between the conference committee of
the new boss carpenters association
and the arbitration committee of the
striking carpenters to-day lasted more
than an hour. The discussion during
the meeting turned solely ON the fnan-
clal responsibility and employing ca
pacity of the new bosses organization.
The latter'S committee figured up their
strength at 210 contractors, employing
on daily average 5000 journeymen.
The strikers committee asked that they
be furnished the names and addresses
of the new employers association that
they might Inquire into their standing.
This was agreed to by the bosses COM
mlttee, and tomorrow will be spent by
the arbitration committee in investigat-
ing these contractors and their claim of
being able to give employment to 5000
men. Tomorrow evening another con-
ference will be held, and some arrange
ment probably made for partial re-
sumption of work. A large number of
the strikers leaders. however. are Op-
posed to any work being permitted until
the whole strike shall be definitely set
tied. The members OF the old carpen-
ters' association are doing nothing.
They say they are ''just waiting for
things to adjust themselves, as they

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 1S.-Tne more
prominent railroad officials in this city
claim that they do not anticipate strike.
Appearances, however, lead one to
think differently. Delegates represent

the railroad men will hold special
meeting, and it will then be decided
whether there will be strike. 1t is
stated that the Baltimore IL Ohio rail-
way has granted an increase of wages
to their passenger brakemen. This con-
cession is in answer to request made
several weeks ago. Mr.. Downey, of the

Vigorously Denied.

denial that he is ''SeoessioniSt," and

chievous, while DR.. r. N. McKaig, pas
tor of the Franklin Avenue church,
states that he has no knowledge of any
move on the part Of his former parish
toner's to leave the Hennepin Avenue
church and ally themselves with his
church. 1t would seem that this ought

OBDURATE CONTRACTORS.
HOosier Bosses Treat Strikers De-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 1s.-No-
tice was served upon the secretary of
the General Contractors association to-
day that unless the bosses met the
striking carpenters in conference within
twenty-four hours general strike of
all persons in the building trades would
be ordered. The bricklayers, the
plasterers, the latherS and the hod car
riers have been ready to go to the assist
ance of the carpenters ever since
the strike was iuaugurated. The
notices served upon the contractors
has had the effect only of increasing
the determination of the latter not 90
yield. 1t was determined by them not
to hold meeting tonight or pay any
attention whatever to the threat to
order a general strike. They sassert
that general strike will effect nothing,
as others engaged in the building trades
cannot do anything when all the car
penters are idle.
