that had honestly and fairly contended for

Senator Donnelly claimed this was out of
order aud the chair sustained this objection.
and further consideration OF the Davis bill
was declared to be the question still before
the senate.
Senator John Day Smith here offered a
substitute for the Davis bill but the chair
held il could not be received, and a lengthy
debate enSued between Senators DOnnellyand
Smith, but the chair declined TO take the
same view of the matter as the senator from

voted down and section l was adopted.

March moved that those words providing
for a forfeiture OF principal as well as in

came up. Senator Keller voted with the
Sage on this, on the theory of making the
bill as bad as possible" while Senators
Hompe and L1mmen voted on that side to
get the question out of the way. The vote

This was amended by Senator Leavitt, pro
viding that all fines be paid to the persons
making complaints. The Sage took the floor
mad clear through. He declared that if
necessary he was ready to fight the question
over aud over again.
Senator Tawney replied TO the Sage e'sS.riet-

enactment of Il law providing both penalties

TAUBENECK TALKS.
He Disclaims Further Member
ship in the big Three

SPRINGFIELD, H., March 11.-In an
interview Representative Taubeneck
said:
1t is really too early to predict what our
party will think of the result. If the Demo-
cratic part of the organization sustains the
actions of Moore and Cockrell, then it will
break the organization all pieces. If. how
ever, the actions of these two men are con
demned by the Democratic members of our
party, then it will show that the organization
is on a sounder footing than ever
and will also show that the party. as a
party, don't want anything to do with
either one of the old parties. If the Demo.
cratic portion of our party condemns the ac-
tons of Moore and Cockrel am satisfied
the Republicans will also. They will stand
by the independent movement and by the Or
ganization. l regard the election of Gen
Palmer today as no Democratic victory as
far as the state is concerned in the future.
There were in this state on last November
1900 +. NJ. B. \ members But number of
new organizations have been added since

Thereon.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL, March 11-Sen-
ator-elect Gen. John NJ. Palmer said
tonight:
My canvass has demonstrated that the true
method of eiecting Il senator is by an appeal
10 the people. This contest has presented
the contrast between the two systems in their
best forms. The Democratic contest has been
simply plain, simple one. Our 101 were
elected under instructions to vote for me.
and the two other gentlemen who voted
Tor me ultimately were pledged to the same
system of electng a senator The Republic
an methods of the caucus and the steering
committee, connected with the skill exhibited
by the Republican managers, present that
system in its conclusion in its best
form. They, in their methods, have
paid no attention to the public win,
they have had all the resources of the state
and federal administrations at their com,
mand. Nearly all their prominent men IN
the state have been presented 10 the farmers

ours, has failed, and the system
of electing senators by the people
is now fixed in Illinois politics Ii does not

amendment to the constitution enabling the
people of the various states to vote directly

In what shape does this leave the party
for 1s9?:'' Was asked of Senator Fuller, chair
man of the Republican steering committee.
In the very best possible shape. Repub-
hcans will see just what the Democratic
F, NJ. B. A. scheme means. Republicans have
shown their willingness to compromise on
good f. NJ. b. y. or Farmers Alliance
candidates, and the only reasons such a man
has not been elected is due to the treason of
Moore and Cockrell. We have met with 100
solid votes for the president of their state
organization. Their votes would have
elected him to-day. Let them explain their
course if they can. The F. NJ B. A. as
party is dead. Two of its members
in the legislature have been guilty of such
duplicity as should and will cOnsign them TO
eternal oblivion. From their recent prom
inence they drop all at once to the bottom of
the hole that is said to exist in the bottom of
the sea. There let them rest execrated by
all mankind"

Yes" cried Priscilla eagerly; and
and-how would it be if You changed
them into something else, just to show
them; and then could ask for them to
be transformed back again, you know"
What an ingenious little thing you
arer' exclaimed the fairy. But let us
see; if you came home and found your
cruel papa doing duty as the family hat

China fowl
"Oh, yes; and I'd feed him every day
till he was sorry" interrupted the warm
hearted little girl impulsively.
"Ah! but you are so haSty, my dear.
Who would write all the clever articles
and tales to earn bread and meat for
you all: Fowls cant use pen. No;
we must find prettier trick than that.
There was one | seem to remember, long,
long ago, performing for a good little
i'll used girl. just like you, my dearie,
just like you! Now, what was it? Some
gift gave her whenever she opened her
lips
why, remember-how funny that
you should have forgotten! Whenever
she opened her lips roses and diamonds
and rubies fell out. That would be the
very thing! Then they'd have to attend
TO met Oh! do be kind old fairy and
give Inc gift like that-do, do"
Now, don't be so impetuous! You
forget that this is not the time of year
for roses; and as for jewels-well, don't
think can be very far wrong in sup
posing that you open your lips pretty
frequently in the course of the day?'
"AliCk does call me mag" said
Priscilla. but that's wrong, because /
never speak without having something
to say. don't think people ought to

Undoubtedly. But, anyhow, if we
made it every time you opened your lips
you would soon ruin me i'll precious

better say that the jewels shall only
drop when you are saying something
you wish to be particularly improving
how will that dor"

"Ah, well. try to be as economical of
your good things as you can. Remember
that in these hard times poor old fairy's
riches are not as ineXhaustible as they

"1hey are not SlCCetS, mOther-lOOk"
1t need scarcely be said that Priscilla
was only too willing to obey; she ran all
the way home with light heart, eager
to exhibit her wonderful gift. "How
surprised they will be" she was think
ing. IF it had been Betty instead of
me l suppose she would have come back
talking tOads. 1t would have been a
good lesson for her; but still, toads are
nasty things. and it would have been
rather unpleasant for the rest of us.
think | won't tell Betty where l met the
fairy"
She came in and took her place de-
murely at the family luncheon, which
was the chlldren's dinner; they were all
seated already, inclUding her father,
who had got thrJugh most of his writing
in the course of the morning.
Now, make haste, and eat, your din
ner, Priscilla" SAID her mother, "or it
will be quite cold"
Il always let it get a little cold,
mother" replied the good little girl 80
that | maynt come to think too much
about eating, you know"
As she uttered this remark she felt a
jewel protruding itself in some mysteri-
Gus way from the tip of her tongue, and
saw it fall with a chatter into her plate.
"Tll pretend not to notice anything" she
thought.
"Hullor' exclaimed Alick, pausing in
the act of mastication. Il say, Prissie!'
IF you ask mother, I'm sure she will
tell you that it is most ill-mannered to
speak with your mouth full" said Pris-
ella, her speech greatly impeded by an
immense emerald.
Il like that exclaimed her rude
brother. who's speaking with their
mouth full now?"
"'Their' is not grammar, dear" was
Priscilla's only reply to this taunt, as
she delicately elected a pearl; you
should say her mouth full" For Pris-
cilla's grammar was as good as her prin-
ciples.
But, really, Priscilla, dear" said her
mother, who felt some embarrassment
at so novel an experience as being OBJ
liged to find fault with her little daugh-
ter; "you should not eat sweets just be-
fore dinner, and-and couldn't you get
rid of them in some other manner"
Sweetest" cried Priscilla considerably
