THE MEASURE DIES HARD,

A Bill for the Benefit of Miners Defeated in
the Missouri Senate
ST. LOUIS, March 1.-THE bill providing for
semi-monthly payment of miners wages and
the establishment of the time-check method
of paying employees, which also had in view the
determination of the ''pluck-me-stores," was
defeated in the Upper House of the Legislature
last evening. The measure had passed the
House, and it is believed strong effort will be
made to resurrect it in the Senate.
Both Houses have passed a bill extending
the Australian ballot law to all voting precincts
in the State. The law previously applied only
to cities of the first and second classes.

ton of the act, and rejoice to find that it
saves further trouble by sponging out all

WE are fad followers for a fact. A craze
spreads as speedily as a contagion, and some
become epidemic. OF in an oh scure corner Of
the country, sometimes in a quiet nook of the
noisy world, a spark is famed by fashion.
fanaticism, frivolity or fancy, and lol
flame flares up and the fire
spreads until the red tongues canopy the
ball, and the heat is felt by all We spurn the
innovation with the foot while holding it in our
arms, reject the idea with our voice while nur-
turing it in silence. criticize while we caress,
revile while we recomm end. One individual
decides that a custom is a curse, that fashion
is folly, that a right is wrong, and supple
ments something-novel perhaps, new GER
tainly-and inaugurates the innovation under
difficulties or with ease, as the case may be, and
away it goes. Tongues wag, heads nod, fingers
shake. but it secures right of way and whirls
on. Derision fails to derail it. prejudice cannot
turn the switch, scoffi ng increases the pressure
in the steam gauge, and it gets there on sched-
ule time. And how soon it becomes fixture,
grows prematurely aged too. esterday you
heard about it and talked about it, to-day you
see it and fondle it, tomorrow you feel
that it's like an old friend and cannot be dis
pensed with. In the qulckness of its coming
lies the fascinating power that leads to its
adoption, of course. Anything that comes to
us with rush causes the craving for stopping
it. The waif placed on the doorstep quickly
and surreptitiously is cod died sooner than the
little orphan who has been crying for comfort
under our window for days. We pluck the
straw that the gale filings in our face quicker
than we pull the grain in the field on the other
side of the beaten path. Novelty and newness
oddity and grotesqu eness, tickle our fancy
and they must needs be shortlived, as in the
rush to supply the demand the new is ever old.
the novel ever pl ain, the quaint ever common
place. So the fad fashioners are kept busy
preparing dishes to feed the fancy. The feast
is unending, the appetite unsatisfed, the thirst
unquenched. But there are No gouty pains in
the portions, no dyspeptic depression in the
preparations, and we haVe stomach for them
all.
