Under the Constitution, article l, section g.
Senators and Representatives, during the ses-
sions of Congress, are free from arrest or pun
ishment for anything but treason, felony, and
breach of the peace. 1t is evident
that Congressman could run a gin
mill in Washington without botherng
aboout license, and could keep it open all
night in spite of Commissioner Robert There
is great chance for some enterprising Con-
gresham. 1t is worthy of note that the law
makers who took such good care of themselves
in the Constitution did not provide any such
immunities for the President and Vice Pres-
dent of the United States, either of whom
could be arrested by any common policeman
any day just as readily as an ordinary tramp.

WASHINGTON CITY, March The senate,
after attending to routine business yester-
day, took up the calendar and passed public
building bills for Sterling, Ills, and Helena,

resumed, the most notable remark on the
subject being that Of Blair, that the Repub-
ican party had put the bill in its national
platform, and that like many other men he
owed no allegiance to a party that lied.
After short secret session the senate sd.

The meeting OF the democratic state
committee 10 this city last Thursday was
In every sense creditable and encouraging
20 the democracy, remarks the Chicago
Herald. Every member of It seemed to
be thoroughly imbued with the spirit OF
confidence and determination aud great
unanimity prevailed In mapping out the
policy of the party In the approaching
contest II was particularly pleasing TO
observe the feeling respecting the candi.
da,ure OF General John NJ. Palmer for the
United States senate. The committee
seemed to be thoroughly saturated with
the sentiment on this subject so prevalent
throughout the state. That is II re-
garded General Palmer n the best
man in the party for the exalted
position OF senator. II thought that he
should be nominated for that Office 10y
the state democratic convention. and
IL thought that he should conduct a red
hot campaign from August until No.
vember for members OF the legislature
This may now be assumed as the demo-
cratic programme beyond doubt and be-
yond alteration. No one dared to rival
General Palmer before the committee aud
much less will any one dare TO rival him
before the convention.
The democrats Of Illinois look forward
TO General Palmer's campaign with de-
light which Is only equaled by the dis
may which the prospect creates In the

Yesterday. Charles j. Osborn when he died
bequeathed s50O, 900 in trust, the income to
be paid TO his son Howell during the bene-
1ciary's lifetime. Howell Osborn spent a
liberal amount lsvishly and ran up huge
bill besides, all of which his father paid.
Since his fathers death he has maintained
his record handsomely. The income of the
fund is $50, 900 annually, but this has been
far from sufficient to meet the young mans
desires
He Borrows $50. 900.
So he borrowed money of vii lam L. Stow

negro minstrel, is still abroad, and the sher

Testimony has been taken at intervals for
several months, and yesterday the referee
handed in his finding wherein he advises the
dismissal of Slows suit, with costs. This
accordingly was made decree of court, but
notice of appeal was served at once, an the
matter will come before the general term
In his decision Referee Pomeroy says that
Charles j. Osborn maintained two hand
some residences, his Fifth avenue house con-
tanning furniture valued at $50, 900 He
kept a steam yacht that cost him el0, 900 a

annually.
Liberal" Is Good Word.
Howell Osborn was an only child and
during his fathers lifetime constantly over
ran his income of S30, 600, allowed him by
his father. Lawyers say the courts have
been growing more liberal in their consider
alton of the question: which often rises now
much money is needed for a mans support.
They take into account mans social sur
roundings and the amount of money he has
been accustomed to spend, and in this case
the proposition is fatty set forth that an un-
married man with no dependencies may
claim legally that he needs $50, 900 year for
living expenses.
