SOME cOntempory remarked recently
that the Democratic legislative caucus
had determined TO run along until after
election pass the apportonment and APP
preparation bills and then adjourn,
whether work IS finished or not. That
action Of the caucus places the party
between the devil and the deep sea."
To run long will be TO bring down upon
the Democracy the condemnation OF
the people for another long session. To
shorten up the time, so as TO leave I'M
portant work undone, Will be to bring
condemnation upon the Democracy for
breach of promise. 1t IS easy for men,
bers TO contemplate with appreciation
an adjournment several weeks ahead,
for each one thinks he can get his pet
bill safely in out of the shower, before
that time; but, rs the hour of adjourn
ment approaches and many a tender
scheme IS still unhoused, those same
members Will grow uneasy and recalci-
trant. Each one will be anxious TO save
his darling and it will be almost impos-
sible to make hlm agree to an adjourn
ment. A larger number OF bills than
ever before have been introduced and
each one demands some time for its
final disposition. The really big SUBJ
jects of legislation have not yet been
approached and will not be generally
considered until after election. This
week is the time for another attempt by
the House to hold q Saturday session.
Its attempt will be curiously watched.
II it has quorum Saturday. it Will
doubtless have little more, and its work
IN committee of the whole Will all be
done over again next week. No real
progress can be made by slim House.
SESAToR-ELEcT KYLE, OF South

protected by compulsory education
laws; third, universal suffrage, pro-

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY.


10 has been remarked that, "a the
sprng election IS more particularly III
dicial than political. the people OF the
state will not stop to pass judgment
upon tue Senate steal, winch the Demo
critic platform so strongly condemns
That steal, Il IS said, IS strictly partisan,
and the election Is judicial. There is,
however. much reason why the people
should pass Judgment ut tins very time.
IL - true that the election IS judicial
and not strictly partisan. so was the
Senate steal judicial, although inspired
By the worst kind of partlsanship.
for the Senate. when passing upon a
contested election case, acts jndicially.
Ia this case tho Judicial department of
the State was befouied, for every prin-
ciple Of right WAS outraged. No strong
er principle of justice is incorporated
into our judicial system, than that no
man snail be tired and convicted IN his
absence. Ii a criminal ever should
escape during his trial, the proceedings
would instantly cease, although Il
might reasonably be claimed that he
alone vas biamable for his absence dur
ing proceedings of so much interest to
himself. and that the trial should 20 on.
But the Senate, acting judicially, in
the absence of all parties concerned.
took up cases not yet prepared for
trial, and passed judgment. Would
Judge Champlin take up a case and de-
eide 1t, before the testimony was all
in. before the case was argued
and IN the absence Of both parties and
their attorneys And yet tina: is the
KIND of judicial action endorsed by the
platform upon which he stands. lie
comes before the people and asks their
SURFACES to endorse just such travesty
OF injustice. Do the people of this State
wish TO sanction such an outrage of the
very elementary principles of justice?

THERE is NOTHING NEW.

ALEXANDER the Great had copy of
the "Iliad" inciOsed in a nutshell, and
it is quite certain that it could not have
been written without the aid of a mi
croscope.
IL all that pertains to sculpture and
painting the ancients knew SO much
that their superiority has never been
questioned aud their work remains as
unsurpassed models.
ALL the mechanical powers, the screw,
lever, pulley, incline plane, wedge,
wheel and axle. were known to the
ancients and used in everyday life.
They were expert builders, as existing
relics testify.
IL our schools at the present day we
use ''ILuclid's Elements Of Geometry, :"
written by Euclid two thousand two
hundred years ago. Euclid also wrote
on music and optics, antedating much
which we think we discovered.
THE people of Tyre were suchcxperts
in dyeing that the Tyrian purple re-
mains unexcelled to this day. The
Egyptians were also wonderful Overs

THE ancients were wonderful glass

not been able to do. They could spin
glass into garments, dye it into every

marvellous skill.
Twenty centuries before the birth of

In an interview with leading drug house
the \. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1890, gives the fol-
lowing comment on the proprietors of re-
liable patent mef 'cines:
He is a specialist, and should know more
OF the disease he actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say fifty cases in a year
Of the particular disease which this med
icine combats, its manufacturer investi-
gates thousands. Don't YOU suppose his
prescription, which you buy ready made up
for so cents, is likely to do more good
than that of the ordinary physician, who
charges sou anywhere from 81 10 $40 for
giving it, and leaves you TO pay the cost of
having il prepareds
'The patent medicine man, too, usually
has the good sense 10 coniiRe himself 10 or
binary, every day diseases. He leaves TO the
physician eases in which there is immediate
danger to life, such as violent fevers. He
does this because, in the treatment of such
cases, there are other elements OF impor-
lance besides medicine, such as proper diet
ing, good nursing, a knowledge of the
patients strength and so on. w here there
is no absolute danger TO life, where the dis
ease is one which the patient can diagnose
for himself or which some physician has
already determined, the patent medicine
maker SAYS fearlessly: i have a prcpara-
ton which is better than any other known
and which will cure YOU In nine cases
out of ten his statement is true"
This is absolutely true as regards the
great remedy for pain, St Jacobs Oil IL
can assert without fear of contradiction,
that it is prompt ard permanent cure of
pain. 1t can shoV. proofs of cures of chronic
cases of 20, 80 ana 40 years standing. In
truth it rarely ever fails if used according
TO directions, and a large proportion OF
cures is made by half the contents of a sin

HIS LAST VISIT.


The Pathetic Ending of an Old New
Workers DAYS.
He was a queer old man who boarded
the train at small station in Western
New York. Two young men. who Were
probably his sons, brought him to the
steps of the ear and helped him on, and
as he entered we saw that he leaned
heavily on a cane and was very feeble.
O"The children kept at me till had 70
promise to go. he said as he sat down.
'.Hain't bin down to Mary's in five
years, and I've got so old dasn't wait
any longer. It's purity tough on an old
man like me. but | want to see Mary
and the grandchildren"
Il take it You are going to spend
Thanksgiving with your daughter re-
marked the man on the seat ahead.
That's it. Mary's my oldest gal. Got
five of EN-, and all married off. She
lives down at --. ard she would have
me come and make visit. Mary was
allus good gal. and She married a good
man You'll tell me when git there
won't your
''Oh, yes.
Cause they II all tie there AT the dc
pot to meet me. My son Steve writ that
was coming
He had about forty miles to 90, and
when we passed the first three or four
stations he was anxious for fear that he
would be carried 10y the right one. After
that he leaned over on the window and
fell asleep. Just before the train arrived
at - the man who had spoken to him
turned about and said:
Come. grandpa you get off here
The old man did not move. and the
stranger arose and shook his arm and
said:
Wake up, grandpa This is your
station, and Mary and the children are
waiting Come, now.
But he spoke to the dead. The old
man had died while he slept passed
away so peacefully that not a line of his
face had changed. And we were yet
stunned and grieving when Mary and
her husband and three happy children
came hurrying into the carand shouted.
Here ne is. Here's our grandpa
come to spend Thanksgiving.
But he was with his God.-N. y. sun.

Warden Weeks Recommends That They
he Dressed In Stripes.
Warden Weeks, of the State prison,
has filed his report with the Board of
Supervisors of Dane County He says:
THE average length OF terms Of prisoners
exclusive OF life terms and indeterminate SEN
fences, for the past two years has been two
years, six months. and two days against two
years, two months twenty seven DAYS the pre-
ceding two years. Twenty-eight prisoners have
been received on general sentence. under chap
ter $50, laws of 1882 and three of them have
been released on parole, although none OF them
have complied with the rules OF the board Of
supervision governing discharges under this
law 1t Is my opinion that no prisoner
should be taken outside the walls unless
he is dressed in stripes, that he may be
recognized by neighbors and passers-by. None
OF the four prisoners that have escaped the
past year would have succeeded in getting
away had they been dressed in this manner;
and am OF opinion that strips for all of them
would be conducive to good discipline. The
gray clothing now worn is so common that at a
distance OF a few rods one is unable to distin-
guish prisoner from citizen in working
clothes. The past two years have brought us
sixty-Oae prisoners who are known to have been
in prison before. Fifty of them are serving a
second term, nine their third term and two
the,r fourth term. 1 believe there should be a
provision OF law giving prisoners sentenced for
a third or fourth term very long If not life
