Rafael having been declared eligible,
Senior Sanchez sent for his daughter, and
announced to her that the Senior Don
Rafael Cordoba had honored their fam
lily by wish to conclude an alliance
with herself.
Thy mother and brother have decid-
ed that we are safe in giving thee to Don
Rafael" he continued, ''and it only re-
mains for thee to say what thou wish
est"
THY fathers decision has been made,
Eodia." put in the scandalized sonora
hastily, land thou wilt regard Don Ra-
fael as thy future husband"
The father and the mother smiled at
each other, and for a moment her hand
rested in his. The daughter with a
voice as sweet as the note of the loqui-
calls sunset song said, ''In all things !
will be obedient 30 my fathers will"
Duly was Rafael informed of the re-

chief Marsh and His Force.

Chief of Police Marsh, of Chicago
formerly United States marshal for the
northern district OF Illinois, has made an
excellent record as the head Of the Chica-
go police force, a fact which his numerous
friends throughout the state are glad to
know. The Chicago Globe has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the excellency of
his force, and his ministration of the du-
ties of that important office:
Chief of Police Marsh merits everv
word OF commentator embodied IN the
resolutionssadopted by the council Mons
day night. Mr.. Marsh has been a thor.
ough, capable and efficient officer. He
re habilitated the force and made il one
OF the most effective in the United States.
The anti-administration papers criticized
and reviled him, but he went on with
his work of arresting crime and brinpIno
criminals to justice. The true work of
the police department is never made
pubic through the press. 1t is only the
story OF robbery, murder
or other crime that is published
There is big ado when a
SsoAS Va AVuec 70 pIuuuereQ, Dut when q
THIEF Is captured and the stolen articles
restored to their owners the facts are not
made public. This is usually at the re.
quest of the victim of the thieves, who
does not care to have his troubles adver-
tised.
In his address before the council Mon
day night Mayor Cregier called attention
to some facts regarding the number of
men on the force and the vast TERRITORY
they patroled. There are only /, $50 men
to patrol 1S1 square miles which tie CITY
covers. On basis of 100000 popula.
ZION this allows an average of oply 10
men to the square mile. In some of the
less densely settled localities there are
but two or three men to the mile. This
gives each man the guardianship of 715
persons.
Compared with New York these figures
are out Of proportion. New York with
only about 40 square miles has 8. 100 men
TOT patrol duty, or over 20 men to the
mile. 1t costs New York 49, 90 per capita
per annum and Chicago So. SO.
From the same source we find that of
the $3.50, 600 worth of property reported
to the police department as stolen or lost,
S23l.OOO. or over 81 per cent of the entire
value was recovered by the force.
To Chief Marsh is due much of the
credit OF the excellent showing made by
the force With his knowledge of crime
and criminals he possesses the rare faculty
OF knowing how to handle large force Of
men so as to get the best work from them.
He was affable and courteous to all and
no one will regret more his resignation
than the men who were associated with
him in police work.

SATURDAY. MAY Q, 1891.
THE Washington correspondent of Il

HE Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Herald sees in Congressman
Springer. the coming man for speaker, if
Illinois democrats will but do their whole
duty in the premises. They will do this.
the Springfield Register believes, and says
Altogether then for the veteran Illinois
democratic congressman and tariff refor-
mer for speaker" The Herald SAYS.
Illinois democrats have a golden op-
portunity. 1t is to win for an Illinoisan
the speakership of the house of represen,
tatives, without question the second Of
nee in the government IN power and Dig
nifty. The state Of Illinois has never had
q speaker of the national house. Her
chances to get one now are good if her
delegates in congress will only stand
solidly and persistently in support of her
candidate. 1t is not too early to call the
attention OF democrats throughout the
state to the chief features of the situation
and to worn them that efforts are being
made in behalf of outside candidates to
disrupt the Illinois delegation. Mr..
Springer is confessed by everyone 10 be
the best psrliamentarian on the demo.
cratic side of the next mouse. He has
long experience, great ability and high
character. He is the only candidate
from the great northwest, toward which
the democratic party is looking for future
recruits and welcomes. He is the ONLY
candidate from the north who stands apy
chance to win the honor. A majority of
the democratic members of the next house
will, for the first time in third of a GEN.
tury, hail from the northern states. He
is practically the only northern candidate
whose election the republicans, eager to
revive the sectional cry, are fearing. On
the surface 1t appears the speakership
will 60 TO Crisp or Mills. but it Is known
here that that the former has not his own
state delegation solidly at his back. He
s, besides, the candidate of that lingering
remnant Of high tariff democracy which,
IN days gone By. made SO much trouble
in the party, and which will make trou>
bic again if it gets the opportunity.
Mills, on the other hand. is
an avowed free trader, whose ur-
necessary frsnkness has made him mark
for the enemy. Moreover. he is not suit.
able in temperament or training to the
office Of speaker and would be sure to in
yolye bis par!y in trouble if elected.
Springer is Crisp's superior as a psrlia.
mensafian, besides being q good tariff re
former, and so much better adapted than
Mills TO the speakership Office that there
is no comparison between them. In the
opinion of many disinterested observers
in Washington, illinois is in q position TO
name the next speaker. The other can
didates appear to have greater strength.
but in the end, it is believed Springer
will be the choice of the party if his state
only stands squarely and persistently by
him. 1t is an opportunity of lifetime,
one in which every Illinois democrat
ought to feel keen personal interest, an
opportunity not TO be sacrificed at the
behest of any man, no matter how pure
his motives or how great his services.

THE CANADIAN PREMIERSHIP

The Selection Of Senator Abbott as the
Successor to the Late Sir John Macdon-
aid Received with Satisfaction in En-
gland, and Looked Upon as n Safe
Choice.
LONDON, June 16.-The selection of
Senator bbott as successor to Sir John
Macdonald is generally accepted here
as the wisest selection that could have
been made. The strength of the Brit
ish connection is believed to lie in On
tario, the west, and in the maritime
provinces, where Abbott is popular,
and it is said by leading
Canadians resident in London that
the government acted wisely in
preferring the wishes of the British
colonies to the desires of the French
Canadians. Since the visit of Premier
Mercier to Paris, and his speeches there
averring the undimmed devotion of new
to old France, the British mind has not
been so satisfied of the attachment of
Quebec to the empire, and there is
less disposition than in former years
to see everything in Canada su-
bordinated to the whiHs of the French
settlers. 1t is known that numerous
telegrams passed between Ottawa and
London before Abbott was named, and
there is no doubt that he is the choice
on this side of the Atlantic as well as
the other. The appointment is also
considered thoroughly safe from bus
mess point of view, which, in the pres
ent financial condition of the Dominion,
is important
CHICAGO, June 16.-A special dispatch
from Ottawa says Mr.. Abbott has sue
ceeded in forming his cabinet and the
announcement will be made in Parlia-
ment tomorrow. The cabinet will
remain as II was except ths head.

IL order to realize what has made
England freer and more moral now than
she was in the time of Henry VIII. we
have only to contrast the comments of
her press with those of her chief justice.
That contrast shows that she owes far
more of her progress to the real in
dependence of her press than to the al
legged independence of her judiciary.
