for weeks the Minnesota interest urged an on

AS last hope it was decided to appeal to the
speaker for special order. 1t was well under
stood that the speaker is against special orders
for any bill carrying appropriations but the
bulk of the Minnesota republican members had
deserted their western friends to vote for Reed
for speaker, and it seemed like a very small re-
turn on his part to give them one day for bill

the speakers room one day last week to make
the request. leading Minnesota member took

In nominating Senator Delamater for
governor the republicans of Pennsylvania
have selected as their standard bearer a
man who belongs to Boss Quay body and
soul. AS senator he was identified with
jobbery and trickery. He was always adj
vocating legislation in favor of monopolies.
In this, as In everything else in his political
career. he was Quay's creature. He voted
for the Philadelphia traction job, Quay's pet
measure. againstthe oil storage bill to pro-
tect independent refiners, and always op-
posed legislation for the benefit of miners
As the candidate of the Republican party
he represents the coal barons, the oil
monopoly, the iron kings and that great
twin octopus which has obtained nearly
every valuable franchise in the state, the
Pennsylvania railroad and the Pennsyl-
vania company. With such a man as an
opponent the democrats should have no
difficulty in carrying the election if they
nominate man Of the people like ex-Gov.

A Jury Packing Bill.

The minority report on the federal election
bill which has been submitted TO the House
shows that it is partisan, dangerous and
unconstitutional bill. 1t not only places
the control of the elections for representa-
tives and presidential electors in the hands
of the agents of the Republican party, but
it contains provision which would enable
these agents to escape punishment for any
wrongful use of the powers which it con-
fers upon them.
These agents, not being state officers,
could not be tried in the state courts for
violations of the election law. They would
have to be tried in the federal courts.
The bill abolshes the Office of
jury commissioner in the federal
courts, and leaves the authority to
select jurors in the hands of the clerk of
each court. The clerks of the federal courts
are also officers for the management Of the
elections, and almost all of them, particu-
larly in the south, are republicans. Does
any one doubt that the clerks would so use
their authority as to secure jurors of their
own political party,
What an extraordinary condition of
affairs there would be if the clerks of the
federal courts, being election officers,
should be given authority to select the
jurors in their courts. Would the election
officers ever be indicted, even if guilty of
grave offenses, and, if indicted, would they
be in any danger of being convicted'
1t looks very much as if the Republican
party intended TO turn loose upon the coun-
try a small army of election agents, with
instructions to use any and all means,
whether legitimate or not, to keep the Re-
publican party in power. and meant to
shield them from punishment for wrong
doing by opening the way for packing the
juries. 1t is apparent. that the people
would not submit to anything so partisan
and unjust. 1t was seen in Florida recently
how the people regard packed juries. Does
the Republican party desire to bring about,
throughout the country, the condition of
affairs that the packing of juries produced
in Floridag
The minority report also points out that
the election bill, if it should become law,
would cost the people at least 81 900, 900
every time an election was held. Thousands
of officials would be required to enforce the
provisions of the law, and all of them
would have to be paid.
The bill may get through the House,
though the outlook that it will is by no
means promising but there is good reason
for thinking that it will not get through the
Senate unless the House gag law shall be
applied to that body.

Charity that Paid.

Young Mr.. de B. is broker, and like most
men in his walk of life, generously disposed.
AS he left his office one day last week he was
accosted by rough-looking, raggedly dressed
man who requested the gift of so cents with

Tillman's Campaign.

B. R. Tillman, the farmers candidate,
is making the contest for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination very lively one
in South Carolina. There is no doubt that
he has very strong following. He is hold
ing meetings all over the state, and the
newspapers are devoting a great deal of
their space to the details and different
phases of the campaign. Many of the
meetings are rather turbulent ones, and at
some of them there have been apprehensions
of trouble. However, there have been no
serious collisions as yet between the two
factions-the Tillmanites and the regulars
and the campaign may end without any.
At the meeting at Columbia on Tuesday
Senator Hampton was present and made a
speech. He advocated harmony and good
feeling, and pointed out the danger to the
party of carrying family quarrel too far.
When Tillman began to speak there was
such an uproar that it was almost impossi-
BILE TO hear him. He got a partial hearing,
however, and it was apparent from the ap-
plause he received that he had great
many friends in the audience, which, &C
cording to the estimates, contained at least
5000 people.
Tillman is not quite so aggressive as he
was in the opening of the campaign. He
has been unable to prove many of his
charges against those who have been man
aging the state government and controll-
ing the politics of the state This has, of
course, had rather dampening effect upon
his canvass, because simple assertions will
not do for thinking people in the kind of a
campaign he is making.
1t is not certain, however, that he will
not be victorious. The farmers of the state
think they have good deal to complain of,
and they like the idea of supporting man
who poses as reformer, even though the re-
formers object is to get an office. Tillman
is exhibiting great deal of skill in the man
agement Of his canvass. He seeks to i'm
press upon the farmers that the "horny-
handed sons of TOLL" as he calls them, are
Disseminated against in all matters of state
legislation, and that a ring of aristocrats
runs the state. TIE fight in South Carolina
is bitter and an interesting one.

The Civil Service Commission

The civil service commission appears 10
give the administration a great deal of
trouble. The reason is, probably, that there
is only one member of it who is fitted for
his position. That member is Commits
sioner Thompson of South Carolina. Mr..
Lyman is under cloud. A congressional
investigating committee has intimated
strongly that he ought to be invited to re-
sign. Mr.. Roosevelt is a good young man
and means well, but he talks too much. He
doesn't know when to hold his tongue He
has been having newspaper
controversy with the editor of
the Washington Post, and he
made the mistake of intimating that the
editor was coward. He ought to have
known that it was not becoming in a re-
former to handy epithets with any one.
The editor says that out in Dakota Mr..
Roosevelt, where he is known by the In
dams, is called Little Papoose, Who Skins
His Teeth When He Talks" 1t is to be re-
GREETED that such a name has been
applied to Mr. Roosevelt, because
it will likely impair his usefulness as a
civil service commissioner, and. besides,
to be beliJtled in any such way. How
ever, be has only himself to blame for the
unpleasant notoriety which he has acquired.
1t seems that it is the intention of the
President to reorganizs the commission. 1t
is thought that Mr.. Thompson will be given
better office and that Mr.. Lyman will
seek rest in private life. He ought to take
with him his brother-in-law Campbell,
who is the author of his woes. Mr..
Roosevelt will alone remain, and if the
President will act upon his advice the COM
mission will be put upon a high plane by
the appointment to the vacancies of two
genuine civil service reformers.
1t is doubtful, however, if the President
will follow Mr.. Roosevelt's advice. He has
some hack politicians to take care of. In
comparison with the demands of hack poll
ticians the public interests count for
nothing. If the President could only rise
to the level of genuine statesman he
would give the country a civil service COM
mission that would insure respect for civil
service reform from one end of the country
to the other. 1t is useless, however, to expect
of him something of which he is not
capable.

Composite novel writing is the latest fad
In fiction. The first effort of number of
authors in this direction will be published
by the New York Evening World next
week. Mr.. w. H. Ballou opens the story
with an unclouded sky on beautiful sum-
mer evening, introducing the heroine,
and the villain in the background
who pursues her. Like most
villains of fiction, he is in love with the
heroine. Mr.. Ballou leaves him on his
Bonded knee declaring his'warm, unadulter-
ated passion, and here Mrs. Wilcox comes
in and gives the whole thing away by tell
ing just what he said. Then Maj. Alfred
Calhoun varies the monotony by the
slaughter of few innocents who are in the
way of the principal characters, and
leaves the latter to the gentle care of
Miss Eastlake, who prepares case for
Messrs. Howe & Hummel in the divorce
court. Pauline Hall, the actress next
complexities the plot, which is unraveled
by Inspector Byrnes, who does some fine
detective work. Bill Nye, P. T. Barnum
and others contribute the rest of the story.

Dissatisfied Cities.

The result of the enumeration Of the
population of the different cities is approx
mately known, and nearly all of them are
dissatisfied. The count shows that they
have been estimating their populations too
high. If the figures given out by the census
authorities are anywhere near correct, there
are three cities which have a population
of over a million. They are New York,
with a population of 1,628,OO0, Chicago,
1,0S6,000, and Philadelphia, 100000.
Brooklyn has SOC, 800, Baltimore 1872, 900,
ST. Louis 100000, Boston All, 72O, Cincin-
natl 3l5, 900, Pittsburg and Buffalo, $50, 900
each, Cleveland 24S,0OO, New Orleans 246-
600, and Washington, D. c., 228.000. Min
neapolis has had about the most wonderful
growth of any city in the country. In 1870
she had only $4,000, and now she has 1876, 900.
St Paul, her great rival, had 90, 900 in 1870,
and now has 130, 000 These two cities have
had lively squabble over their respective
counts. st. Paul claimed that Minneapolis
was making a fraudulent count, and had
seven of her enumeratcrs arrested. The
citizens OF the two cities almost reached the
fighting point.
Philadelphia is somewhat down in the
mouth, as it were, over losing the second
place, which she held so long. Chicago,
her rival, appears to have distanced her a
few thousand. Philadelphia will never
catch up to her. Chicago is now anxious
to overtake New York, and she may do it be-
fore two decades have passed She is full of
the vigor of the great west.

A Mitigating Circnnnstanca

Seated at table in one of the court rooms
yesterday prominent lawyer drew a COPY of
al evening newspaper from his pocket and pro.
ceeded to read. Soon the lawyer fell into a.
deep sleep. His chin dropped upon his breast.
and an old-time snore rolled down his shirt
front and dropped with thud on the floor saws
the St. Louis Republic. The entire court room
was aroused. The judge beckoned deputy
sheriff TO the bench. The deputy walked to
where the sleeper slept and, giving the peaceful
slumberer gentle shake, aroused him to sense
of the awful situation.
1t is grave offense to sleep mid the delibera-
tons of the court. The judge removed his
glasses and meditated upon the punishment he
should infiict. Several attorneys pleaded for
mercy for their erring brother. 1t was a seri-
Gus predicament, and the offender appreciated
the position he was in. The throng of LAWYERS
and litigants waited for the sentence to be i'm
posed
Il meant no offense, pleaded the offender.
The stern expression on the features of the
court relaxed as it asked, What paper were
you reading"
The deputy sheriff glanced at the paper and
responded:
Your honor, it is the Evening Fake"
You are discharged" promptly said the
court, but hereafter, if you must have opiates,
you must take them on the outside" and the
poor devil walked out of court.

themselves further honor by choosing Gen.
Longstreet to succeed him. But that gal

these same Georgia people made their own,
are as nothing when set in the balance
against the fact that he is conscientious
