1t has been proposed to put the
Fish Commission under the. con-
troll Of the Agricultural depart
nent, but Fish Commissioner
Mcdonald is bitterly opposed to
it. He wishes to retain his pres
independent position of not being
under the control of any depart
ment, and making his reports
directly to Congress. But it
strikes most disinterested people
that the Commission ought to be
under the supervision of one Of
the Government departments, and
the Agricultural would seem to be
the proper one.

Post Office Changes.

There has been much said about
the headsman of the Post office
department, the able first assistant
postmaster, Gen. Garrison, and
the wonderful work he has done
with the cleaver among the Demo-
cratic postmasters of the country
The Republican party had been
in power but about year, or one
fourth of its allotted term before
the next general election, and yet
it might be observed that with all
of Mr.. Clarkson's tremendous
work with the axe and counting
the Democrats who died, resigned
or whose commissions expired,
there have been but a trihe over
one third the post Offices of
Wisconsin changed in nearly
fourteen months Of Republican
rule. there are in the state of
Wisconsin 100 post offices Or to
be exact, according to the latest
obtainable figures, 1901 post
offices, not including Milwaukee
county. These are distributed in
the various congressional districts
Of the states as follows:

It is right and just that the
Germans and other foreign born
citizens should be loyal to their
mother tongue. No true American
would object to that. But we
should all remember to be loyal
to the languages and institutions
OF this country, as well. The
children have no other country
but America, no other hope than
an American hope, no other chance
in life than an American chance,
and no other citizenship to take
on and serve the state under than
American citizenship. If all this
be true, can any parent act the
part of true American citizen
who does not do all in his power
to give his children a knowledge
of the American language. And
he is acting the part of good
citizenship who opposes a law
which was devised for that and no
other purpose" Gov. Hoard in
the Milwaukee Sentinel.

Mr.. J. Edgar Engle, assistant
chief Of the Record division of
the Pension office, and who had
his pension re-rated, has been
dismissed.
Senator Quay has returned
from Pennsylvania and is besieged
by his friends for information on
various questions, and they
seldom go away without it.
The President has received
gold headed cane cut from the
yoke which supported the indie

The friends Of Chicago in Wash
ington are happy. The Senate
Committee has made a favorable
report on the Worlds Fair bill,
with several minor amendments,
and in all probability it will be
passed by the Senate this week.
The Three Americas Congress
will formally adjourn on Thursday
and on Friday the members will
leave here for tour of the South
lasting until the 10th of May.
One of the latest recommendations
of the Congress is for the charter
ing Of a system of international
banks.
1t begins to look at last as if
there was prospect Of getting a
good national bankrupt law
through Congress. The Torrey
bankrupt bill has been favorably
reported to the House. This bill
protects the interests of both
debtor and creditor and will, if it
becomes a law at the present SEES
sion, go into effect Nov. I, next.
Senator Sherman's antitrust
bill, or rather the substitute that
the Judiciary committee reported
for it, and which the Senate
passed last week, is not we'll
received by the members Of the
House, and it is extremely doubt
full whether it will ever get before
the House. The reason for this is
that the bill will not, in the opinion
of experts, hurt any of the exist
ing trusts or prevent the formation
of new ones.
A very interesting ceremony
took place in the White House at
noon Saturday, when the Presi-
dent presented to Mr.. Joseph
Francis, the inventor of the first
life saving car, the gold medal
authorized by act of Congress of
August, 1888 Mr.. Francis is 50
years old and very feeble He
has received medals and decora-
tons from a number of foreign
governments, but this is the first
recognition he has ever had from
his own Government, notwith-
standing his invention has been
for years used by our life saving
service.

the last congress, and it is also
safe to announce in the most
positive terms that the Mckinley
bill will become a law at the
present session of Congress,
democratic statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Secretary Window gave the
republican caucus committee
which has for several days been
engaged in preparing a silver bill
which would receive the support
of the republicans in both Senate
and House, his views on the
subject. He still believes that the
bill prepared by him and which is
now in the hands of a House
committee, would prove entirely
satisfactory II enacted into a law,
but he expressed his willingness
to support any other measure that
would appear to offer as good a
solution Of the question. The
committee is to report to a republ-
can caucus which will probably
decide upon the outlines of a
silver bill to be pushed through
Congress at once. The ultra
silver men are clamoring for out
right and absolute free coinage
and the indications are that the
bill agreed upon will give it to
them, in effect if not in name.

results of races from the tracks to the
Puritan Club rooms, in Long Island
City, was discovered yesterday Just in
time to save the book makers from pay.
ing out $4,000 they supposed had
been lost on the horse Void.
AT the end Of the fourth race a dis
patch came in naming Void rs the win
ner, King Crab second, Fordham third.
The book makers believed something
was wrong because the usual cipher
signal did not follow the announcement
of the result as quickly as Il should
have done. They refused TO pay the
tickets on those horses, and discovered
later that the wires had been tapped.
4 tall young man was greatly sur.
prised and inclined to be indignant
when the book makers refused to re.
deem his tickets calling for g., 500.
When told that II had been discovered
the wires were tapped he acknowledged
that he was connected with a plot TO
get the better Of the book makers.
Void had sold in the books at 40 TO 1
and had he really won the race the
book makers would have been com

Duny sues for His share Of the Cor

New YoRK, July 12.-The boldness
Of the New York boodlers may be
judged by the action Of ex. Alderman
Duffy, who has entered suitin the Court
Of Common Pleas here 10 recover from
John Keenan, $40,0 900. that suta being
due TO Duffy, who was to receive $50.
600 for his vote. He got $4,000, aud
now seeks to recover the balance due
him.
In his preliminary ailidavits Mr..
Duffy swears that the total amount Of
this corruption fund was S6j0,000 III.
yided by thirteen. the original number
OF Aldermen In the combine, would
give each OF them $50, 600 Mr.. Duffy
swears that he received only $40. 900 OF
this amount, and that therefore $4,000
are still due him.
In making this remarkable admission
under oath, Mr.. Michael Duffy Is not
afraid Of the terrors Of the law. He
was one Of the first aldermen 10 offer
his services to District Attorney MARITIME
as an appTover. Mr.. MARITIME, after due
consideration, accepted his services In
that capacity. As a matter OF course,
immunity from the consequences Of his
crime was promised to him by Mr.
MARITIME.
The power of the District Attorney
TO grant such privileges Ia return for
the evidence of an informer Is as old as
the English common law. II has never
been questioned. Mr.. Duffy Is as free
from any chance Of involuntarily seeing
the interior of the State prison on ac
count Of bis share in the financial trans
action between the Honorable the Board
Of Aldermen Of 1884 and the seekers OF
the Broadway Railroad franchise, as II
