He Spurns an Offer to Blow the
Rock Island Sky-Aigh.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-THE dispute be-
tween the striking operators and the
Rock Island company appears to be as
far from settlement as ever, neither side
being inclined to yield. The com
mittee of the strikers complains that
the company has been employing
detectives for the purpose of betraying
the strikers into some unlawful act,
which would turn public sympathy
against them. One of these alleged
detectives accosted Mr.. Ramsey as that
gentleman was leaving the dining room
of the Palmer house today, and offered
to blow the Rock Island road sky high
if given the protection of the teleg-
raphers' organization. Mr. Ramsey
caught him by the collar of the coat
and rang the elevator for the purpose of
getting an officer, but the alleged de-
tective made dash for liberty and
descended the stairs four steps at Il
time. He was lost among the crowd
and has not since been discovered.

CoNsIDERATE SENATOR HANS

CONSIDERATE SEN ATOR HANS
Senator HANS. from the borough of
North Dakota, CONSIDERABLY rescinds
his first ferocious impulse and intent to
roast Senator GORMAN. This is very
fortunate-for HANS. In the pride of
place HANS is too apt TO forget that he
Is an accident, scratch, which may
happen once in thousand times in the
game OF politics, but which never has
repeated itself and never will. He
should rest content with the fame of
being the great American statesman
who made the startling discovery
that the poor, neglected hens of
our yards and gardens were and for
years had been struggling along, trying
to produce the raw material Of the
OmeletS OF our breakfast tables against
the fearful odds of the competition of
the pauperiZed hens of Europe, without
a single cents worth of protection on
their fruit. Just how il came that this
tremendous oversight was committed
by the array of Republican statesmen
who preceded HANS is not known and
will not he until some pOulterer, with a
soul above mere eggs, shall make it his
life effort to discover and uncover
it. 1t was a happy oversight, though,
for Senator HANS. 1t gave him
his opportunity TO connecr his name in
dissoIublY with that great and benefi-
cent policy which possesses the magical
power of making all things it touches
simultaneously cheaper or dearer: ev-
cry one paying his money and taking
his choice of processes. With this Sen
ator HANS, from the borough of North
Dakota, should be satisfied. retiring to
the classic shades,of DEVILS Lake in
due time, trusting that his memory will
be preserved to the ages by monument
erected by the grateful hens of America
out of their own egg shells. He does
not need the added luster of being re-
membered as the man who roasted
