clude that unless the roads do the square
thing by the public they will not stand
damning much longer, but will run
roads themselves at the lowest possible
rates they can be run for. We are

congressman on this, the most important
subject of the age. The Co-operator.

SHE WEEPS GLASS.
An Ohio Girl Whose Tears Are
CryStaIIiZed.

FINDLAY. o., Jan. 25.-The Physi-
clans and oculistS of this city are greatly
puzzled over the case Of Jennie
Sutton From the right eye
of the girl flfty-four pieces of
broken glass were taken by DR.. T. G.
Tritch. These pieces of glass have
been coming from the eye of this girl
fOrthe last month, and only day before
yesterday DR.. Tritch removed every
evidence of glass in the eye and an
nounced that all were taken out. Yes
terday she came back and had fifty-four
more pieces removed. and yet no one
knows how they came into the eye. The
girl is domestic in the family of ex-
County Surveyor Stringfellew, whose
wife has been taking these particles of
glass from the girls eye for month
past, out becoming alarmed at their re-
appearance as soon as removed. had
DR.. Tritch undertake to cure th young
woman of her peculiar affiiction. The
case puzzles the doctor quite as much as
it does the girl and her employers, as
she met with no accident by which the
glass could get into the eye; and the
fact that the particles give her little Or
no pain is equally as inexplicable. 1t
is estimated that over 100 pieces of glass
have been taken from the eye since the
case first attracted attention. The only
theory thus far advanced to explain the
matter is that the girl has some sort of
chemical nature, and that the crystals
are formed by her tears.

FULL OF MISCHIEF.

The persistence of the radical ele-
ment of the Republicans in the senate
and the administration in putting the
force bill in the way of all needful leg
islation shows a faulty that is hardly
comprehensive. Possibly the bill can
be passed in the senate by the use of
parliamentary agencies quite foreign to
that body. 1t is not insisted, however,
that a minority should control the ac-
ton Of any legislative body. If a ma
Jority of the senate believe that the
need of the measure is paramount to
all other public concerns, and that the
rights of American citizens can only be
indicated in this way, there may be
some excuse for their course. Even
then there might be heSitancy in follow
ing their own opinions when it was
noted that the parties most to
be affected did not agree with
them. The claim is that the negro
voters in the South need this measure
for their protection. But the negroes
have never asked for its passage; no re-
spectacle number of them have ever
petitioned for this bill, and the South
ern Republicans in congress, who may
be supposed to be specially solIcitous
for their political rights, do not believe
in it. Republican candidates in the
South have been forced to denounce it
in order to hold their party vote, as in
the case of BAXTER, candidate for gov
ernor of Tennessee last fall. They
know that such scheme would stir up
animosities between the races and par
ties in the South, and the blacks would
be the chief sufferers. How it can be
made to work to the advantage of
the Republicans in any state can
be understood only in connection with
the bayonet, and it is too late in the
history of the country for that. If it
passes the senate it will be at the sac
ritice OF all the important bills for carry
ing on the government, and necessitate
a special session. The house would
have to pass upon it again, as it has
been changed very greatly since its pas
sage there. In the former case there
was but trlfling majority for it, and it
is doubtful if even that can be had now.
Too many of the members suffered in
the election from the measure to attach
themselves to it further. Dependence
for a quorum would have to be had upon
Republicans alone. Still, what Speaker
REED has done he may be able to do
again. The bill may be converted
into a law, but it will render
it imperative for the preside mt
to call a special session of congress very
soon. This will have a three-tourths vote
in the house against the election bill.
and repeal would be able to pass the
senate. The issue, then, would be
forced upon the president to interpose
his veto. He has indicated recently
that he has scruples, as his grandfather
had, against the exercise of the veto
power. The house might insist upon
attaching the repeal to appropriation
bills. There have been precedents of
this sort. They may be difficult to
quite Justify, but that might be insisted
of the veto. The measure is full of
possibilities of mischief, and the Demo-
Gratis III the senate or house will do the
country good service in effecting its
defeat.

but two children of the murdered
woman, who was refined lady and well
liked in the community. Snyder was
arrested. He refuses to talk, and gives
no reason for his bloody act. Neighbors
say he has often threatened to kill
his whole family. They have three
boys, two of whom were at home
when their father killed their mother.
but they fled and up to tonight they
have not shown up, nor can they be
found. Snyder and his wife are from

A legislative majority never realized
its responsibility to larger degree than
does the Alliance and Democratic COM
bine in the twenty-seventh session of
the Minnesota legislature. The men,
bers of both ends of this coalition real
ize that the eyes of the people are on
them, and that their work must be an
improvement over that done by Repub
lican legislatures in the past few years.
Hardly day goes by that the leaders
or Doth parties do not go over their work
and carefully consider everything.
In the senate the zeal of the Sage of
Nininger is daily brought into contact
with the counsel of such level-headed
men as Senators Hompe, La Due, Mayo,
Probstfield and others of the Alliance
senators, and McHale, Leavitt, Brown,
Kelly, Geissel, and indeed, the entire
Democratic side. The Sage of tNinin-
ger is not the autocrat he is
daily pictured in the terror-stricken Re-
publican organs, and he is not slaviShly
followed by any member of the senate.
Indeed, there never was a legislature
more inclined toward independence
than the present one, and in this re-
spect the senate is on a level with the
house. The great natural abilities of
Mr.. Donnelly bring him to the front i'll
all questions where there is square
contest between the majority and the
minority, but he is not playing the boss,
nor, indeed, does he betray any desire
to act in that role. Although he has in
troduced several bills of great impor-
lance, which were referred to the ju-
dietary committee, of which he is a
member, he has not attempted to influ-
ence the action OF the committee.
The Republican politicians will be
grievouSly disappointed if they expect
the majority in the present legislature
to make any costly plumbers.
