TIE republican senators who are op-
posed to tho force bill have not only done
the country good service but have like
wise saved their party from adopting a
means to retain power which might not
prove successful, and could not fail to
bring 1t added obloquy. The law would
have been used to make southern states
republican by the aid OF the army. This
was its purpose and it was for this reason
that republican politicians were 50 strenu-
Gus for its passage? 1t would have pro-
duced the old sectional feeling ofanimos-
ity and probably thus win back to the
support OF the republican party some of
the northern states which have ranged
themselves in the democratic column
since hostility to the south ceased to be
a campaign issue.
The primary purpose OF the law, how
ever, was to restore carpet bag rule IN the
southern states and by intinidating dem
ocrats, force some of the southern states
into the republican column. This had
become necessary to the perpetuation in
power of the republican party because of
the loss ofnorthern states. No consider
alton was given to the evil effects this
policy would have on the general pros
perity of the country.
This scheme was defeated by these re-
publican senators who had the patriot
ism to act in opposition to this party
They have done the country a service;
they have saved their party from com
hitting crime.
Republicans received some good advice
from Speaker Barrett of Massachusetts
last week, when he said that it is mis-
take to stand on issues which were popu-
lar % years ago; that the Mckinley bill
was not popular; that the people of the
north are heartily tired of reports of out
RACES in the south. He asked, then, what
was there to unite the republican party !?
The western states largely interested in
silver would fly from the party II free
coinage was opposed. But if the educa-
tional question was made the leading one
the republican party would strike the
right cord of public sentiment" and he
is right

starts to FIX a standard for admission to

things with subservieut legislature so
that legislation is under absolute control.
Do they purpose defining democracy by

be complete submission to the behests
of the bosses and undying hostility to
any principle the advocacy of which
might endanger tie possession of the
Offices? Their allegiance to the party
can always be measured by the prospect

She vii! Not Wear Them.

Speaking of weird, uncanny gifts,
the other day II pretty girl produced a
pair of house slippers, presented her
by young medical student friend says
a writer in the illustrated Aniericdn.
They were not so remarkable looking,
but as she brought them in, balanced
on the ferulc Of her parasol, the COM
pany instantly recognized the presence
of something out of the ordinary.
Gently dropping the dainty footgcar
on Il rug. the owner invited her friends
to use their umbrellas freely in turn
ing her low shoes over and examining
every part. They were admirably
made, with narrow soles. pointed toes,
high heels and big monogram en-
broidered in silk floss halfway up the
instcp. The material. Il thin, yellow
ish skin, might have come off almost any
animal, but was in reality the epider-
mis- of a man. The student had seen
it removed, had followed the curing
process. and "when properly dressed"
had taken it to Il bootmakcr for making
up. ''Of course, I'll never wear the
horrid things" the girl fastened to as
sure her friends; land, indeed, they
are more trouble than t!Iey are worth.
| am afraid Of them, and so are all the
rest of the family. We keep them

are down there she refuses to go alone

Ex-ATToRNEY GENERAL EsTABRoOK
comes to the defense of the IL republi-
cans in the assembly who voted for the
absolute repeal of the Bennett law, and
says their action is In perfect accord with
the republican platform. The difference
between the republic; and democratic
platform was thought to be that the lat
ter demanded the unconditional repeal
of the Bennett law and the former its
amendment. Had Mr.. Estabrook said
these seventeen apostates had acted agree
ably to the requirements of the demo
cratic platform his statement would be
incontrovertible.
They have gained nothing by it, and
have only earned contempt by their
cowardice. No one can defend them with
ont being a sharer in their ignominy.
The democrats acted consistently with
their professions; the seventeen republi-
cans licked the dust on their conquerors'
shoes and acted like ours SO completely
cowed that the presence of mouse would
cause a hasty flight and "Ki VI CT mon
grei fear. The democrats spurn them,
having 60 need of their services; the
Lutherans despise them, understanding
fully the nature of their tardy conversion;
and everyone regards them with that feel
ing OF contempt which is the reward Of
treachery, cowardice and serrility.

IT is said that tramp is comparative
~ unknown in Germany now, though
some years ago they were quito numer-
Gus. The government has established a
kind of a tramp colony where Migrants
are set to work and certain sum laid by
from the proceeds of their work, which
is given them when discharged. Those
who show most industry are secured
places as labOrers at such salaries as can
be agreed upon between themselves and
their employers. The system has worked
so we'll that the tramp nuisance has been
almost wholly overcome.

The commune was also sublime. A
prisoner, man, had been taken with
arms III his hands, imprisoned, and
condemned TO death His wife made
heroic efforts to save him, and sue
ceeded in securing the sympathy of a
man who had influence in these times.
Her husband was saved from capital
punishment, and was condemned to
transportation. Left alone and ADAM
doued, without resources, she had
formed an intimacy with the man who
had saved her husband. After living
for years with this lover to whom she
was deeply attached, she besought him
to apply for a pardon for her husband
Although he felt he WAS DESTROYING
her happiness and his own, he did so.
The husband returned full of love for
the wife who had saved him from exc
cution and procured his liberation.
On the way home, however, he learned
the truth. He changed his name. dis
appeared and lived in hiding for
many years. Then. when divorce be-
came possible in France, he wrote to
his wife: Apply for d yorce against
me; I will do all can to secure one
for YOU. Marry him and se happy"
