to congress. Then there was a dead
lock IN the legislature last winter over
the election OF successor to Senator
Pierce, and Hansbrough was lucky
enough to draw the prize himself.
81 have been in Washington enough"
said Senator Hansbroagh to me at the
Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday. Ito re-
allZe that about half of the time of a
senator or member is taken up in run
ming after petty errands through the de-
paftments. Every mail brings me re-
quests to look after this or that matter
in many instances | have taken the
trouble to investigate certain eases that
have been presented to me, and would
find after had gone over the ground,
that they possessed no merit whatever,
and have so Informed the parties back
ing them. In nearly every instance l
found by the records of the departments
that my predecessors had been over the
same ground and arrived at the same
conclusions that | did. The parties
sending these claims to me knew of
course that they had been selected and
thrown out time and again, but they
sent them on just the same, hoping that
new man might do something with
them. | presume these old claims will
survive and haunt many generations
OF my successors.
But the greatest annoyance" Mr..
Hansbrough continued, ''comeS from
the pension claims. People seeking
pension claims seem to forget that there
are laws regulating the granting of all
pensions, and that none can be issued
except by due process of law. Lawyers
have been lii the habit, as soon as they
received an application for pension
from man, to make out his papers and
then send him word to write to his mem
Der OF congress or senator to hurry up
the case and getit marked special In
plain English, the members of congress
have been doing the work for nothing
which the pension attorneys receive
fee to attend 10. We are practically
their assistant clerks. Now, l am glad
to say, i'll the pension office they have
put stop to expediting pension claims
at the request of congressman, and it is
very good rule, too, as it saves the
congressman useless trouble, and pre-
vents injustice being done to many de
serving claimants. When the practice
of marking eases special was stopped.
they found that the special cases out
numbered the other kind"

WHAT THEIR HOPES REST ON.

The Republican theory to account for
their party disaster at the ballot box last
November has been the failure of
large part of their voters to come to the
polls. Most of them "sulked i'll their
tents" for various reasons. There was
a great deal of sulking, unqueStiOnably,
but when the nOn-voting solution was
analyZed it failed, as a rule, to fill the
bill. A recognized Republican organ
finds that $4,000 Republicans in New
York failed to vote on account of illit-
eracy and inability to master the re-
QuirementS of the form of the Austral-
ian system adopted. It's conceded that
the Democrats all succeeded in voting.
Possibly it is easier TO teach Democrat
how to use the ballot than Republican.
If the explanation is good they certainly
mastered the feat more generally in
New York. As the law adopted in this
state involves still more effort aid may he
solicited lest the Republicans suffer as
in New York. In the latter state the
Democrats instituted schools of instruc-
tion for their ill-equiDped voters, and
there need be little apprehension that
Iuey VIII De IcSS dlerG mere III the ma
tional contest. But the Republican
anticipation is that the kickers will all
be back in line next year. They are
satisfied that they made fools of them
selves the last time by crediting the
fabrications of the Democrats. The
next campaign will be waged on the
same line, and it will appear that the
anticipaticns of the opponents of Nc
Kinleyism were, unhappily, well based
The campaign of education should take
in the classes of Republicans who are
reputed to not comprehend the methOI
OF voting under the reform system.

POINTS BY STATE EDITORS.

From present indications it would appear
that Gov Merriam intends to measure swords
with Senator Davis over the st. Paul post
Office. We presume that Bill thinks this
good way to reward the senator for coming
to his rescue when a disguised people came
near burying him last fall. Merriam has his
own peculiar way OF evincing his gratitude
Preston Times.
Poor Donnelly! Even the ladies are able
to shut him up when he gets started to talk.
Miss Mcdonald wound him up on the ALI
ance question in fine shape. Poor Ig, he has
lost his grip and is fast going down the hill,
-Mazeppa Tribune.
Miss Eva Mcdonald, the plucky little state
lecturer, scored another victory over Dom
nelly at the meeting of the State Alliance ex-
ecutive committee Thursday. After refusing
TO resign, or allowing Mr.. Donnelly to usuTp
her powers by appointing the deputy state
lecturers, she even refused TO accept the oil /,
branch so iunocently held out by Donnelly,
who insisted that her election as state lecturer
was not legal. and, that if she would resign
the committee would at once re-elect her,
and thus avoid the unpleasant state of af-
fairs.-Mower Transcript.
Donnelly and the Great West may as well
understand that Miss Mcdonald will not re-
sign. even if Ig and Doc do want her to.
That little lady has brains and grit enough
TO fight the whole Donnelly-Tish gang alone.
But you are not alone, Eva; three-fourths of
the noble Alliance knights of Minnesota are
with you, not to mention the gallant labor
lads and lasses. Resignl No, not until your
term of Office expires, and then we will re-
elect you.-Elbow Lake Alliance.
-
The Alliance men will. after all, be able to
make a pretty good defense for their large
appropriation bill. 1t is 100000 larger than
before, and the tax levy is raised half mill
from IL to 3D. But they found a deficit Of
Sill, ,000 to fill up, and appropriated Sl050
for the soldiers home. They then gave S1S5.-
600 as an experiment fund to the penitentiary
for machinery and fbers, which the farmers
were demanding. The Republicans can
hardly condemn the first two items. nor the
farmers kick on the last.-Duluth News.
-
Accordingly the bishop worked for the Re-
publican ticket, and Gov. Merriam recon-
mended the bishops Democratic friend for
federal appointment. and had it not been for
the political rivalry between the governor
and Cush Davis all would have been WELL

ENGLISH VICE.

c. A. FYFFE is an English college
professor who has written a history of
modern Europe. 1t is very valuable
book, the best of its kind. He has also
written short history of Greece, which
is also the best of its kind. He is also a
candidate for election to the English
house of commons on the Liberal
ticket. A few days ago he was arrested
oh the astounding charge of having
committed an indecent, assault on a
young boy. Pending his trial he has
cut MS own throat, so overwhelming is
his humiliation, but the probabilities are
that he will not die.
Capt. EDMUND VERNEY, a member
of the English house of commons. was
arraigned yesterday in the Bow street
police station on the charge of COM
plicity i'll the abduction of woman for
immoral purposes. The evidence adj
duced against him was of a very seri-
GUS nature and his bail was increased
pending the examination.
Miss GLADYS EVELYN, somewhat
mature actress lady, is out in card
saying that although she was defeated
LAM HENRY HURLBURT for seduction
under promise of marriage, the end of
the case is not yet. HURLBURT used to
be editor of the New York World, but
even when an American was an Amer
lean with decidedly English tendencies
He always affected the society and aped
the manners oflords. When JAY GOULD
IN pr
HURLBURT married a rich woman and
went abroad to become foreign aristo-
crat. Miss GLADYS EVELYN SAYS that
he ruined her. but the jury did not be-
lieve her. This was partly because Of
her record, but chiefly because HURI-
BURT had as one of his counsel A.
OAKEY HALL, who once was mayor of
New York city. HALL always did knew
a thing or two, and if any one could in
vent a cleyerer defense for his client
than did he, he ought to be knighted.
HALL proved 1t was all matter of mis-
taken identity, and that the wicked
man, although he was in every way the
exact counterpart Of HURLBURT, was
really somebody else, who came from no
one knows where, and has since gone to
the same place.
HURLRURT's experience, in company
with that of Mr.. FYFFE ana that of
Capt. VERNEY, has led some people TO
say that sexual vice and unnatural
crime are more common in England
than in America: Maybe they are.
Maybe in that crowded land sin
is like stagnant pool which in
oculates many with its miasma.
Maybe when WILLIAM HENRY HURL-
BURT undertook to become a real En-
glish lord he had to get into a woman
scrape in order to be fashionable. Or
maybe such things are not peculiar to
England. but that the peculiar English
part of FYFFE's, VERNEY's and HURI-
BURT'S experience is their publicity.
The English class which is sinned
against appears to be more dangerous
one to have dealings with than their
brothers and sisters elsewhere They
have weakness for rushing into court.
Maybe the reason why there seems to
be more sin in the higher classes of
London than of New York is that the
blackmaillng business hasS been devel-
oped to higher degree of perfection
i'll the modern Babylon.
