GERMS OF THE FORCE BILL.
/ In the Senate to-day, the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Bate, Democrat, CTenn.)
on December 6, to repeal ali statutes re-
/ lating TO supervisors of elections and
special deputies, was taken up and Mr..
| Bate proceeded 10 make an argument
/ in its favor. The law which he (Mr.
Bate) proposed to have repealed was
the germ, or protoplasm Of the force
/ bill
1t was that bacillus which had poison
ed the elections and inoculated them
/ with fraud. From the supervisor OF
elections and the deputy marshal, the
step to the army at the polls was but
short one. The day had come to bring
the federal government back TO those
duties for which it had been provided
The bill went over without action.

what is it they intend to give

That is what was asked oh all sides
yesterday after the GLOBES exposure
of the contemplate deal to get Street
Commissioner jim Tripp out of the way
of "Inderendent" Miner and at the
same time provide for Tripp at the eX-
pense of the city. None OF the alder
men will say what it is that Trip has
been scheduled for. They are we'll sat
sfied now, those who are opposed to
making Trip pensioner, that the deal
will not go through.
Among the guessers il is said that
either the position OF Supervisor Nc
Connell or Register Moody is the one
that Tripp covets. 1t is more likely
Moodv's job. Both Moody and McCon-
nell are old and efficient city officials.
Moody is the less a politician. lie does
not run to partiSanShip so much as
Mcconnell. BY some of the Repub-
llcans he Is looked upon as half Dem
Ucrat. Hence the probability that it is
his office and not McConnell's that
honest Mr.. Miner IS willing to trade off
for paltry Eighth ward street COM
missionership.
Frank Moody has held for years, and
still holds, position that requires i'll

ALL ABOUT "UNCLEs."

Figures From the ..nnual Report
Of the Pawnbroxer Inspector.
One of the important adjuncts of the
police system is the pawnbrokers' de-
partmen., presided over by the ex-news-
paper reporter and present inspector,
NJ. j. Mallon. He '.graduated,' as it
were, from the police run on a newSpa-
per to his present position. his duties in
the former capacity fitting HIM for the
peculiar ana arduOuS duties or Inspector
of the pawnbrokers and secondhand
dealers. Little is known by the outside
worln of the extent of the pOllce pawn
broker department. When it is taken
into consideration, however, that up to
the present time there have been this
year 10, 500 watches sold and pawned 10y
needy people in tniS city alone. some
idea of the scope of the work may be
arrived at. Inspector Mallon has COM
pleted his report for the present year,
and it is an hour we'll spent to glance
over the figures as shown Oh his book
There are in the city % pawnbrokcrS. o
secondhand dealers whose speciality $
clothing and knick-knacks,6 junk shOis
and 50 junk peddlels. 1t is the duty OF
Mallon to visit all OF the shops zach and
every day of the gear, and keep record
of every article sold and paWued.
The department is handicapped
trifle now because of the niggardly
manner in which the council has d1led
out the appropriations for special work.
Money Is needed in this department for
work in connection with compelling the
paWnbrokeIS and secondhand dealers
10 comply with the license ordinance.
During the year there were pawned in
this city $3.50 articles, including everv-
thing from diamond pin and gold
watch to wash tub. How many of
these articles were stolen it is impOsSi-
bic to even guess, though the greater
majority were no doubt sold by The
owners through sheer necessity.
Whenever all article is stolen
and reported to Mallon. he keeps
of it full description and the exact
date it was stolen. A visit is then made
to the pawnbrokers' and secondhand
dealers establishments land if the stolen
article has been paWned or sold out
right, it is easily recovered. The pawn
brokers aud secondhand dealers are
Obliged to make daily report of every
article paWned or sold, and in this man-
ner it is not so very difficult for people
having lost property to recover it. A
glance over the INSPECTORS report yes
terday showed that OH the day after
Christmas seventy-siX watches were
pawned and sold. According to these
figures it IS evident that the holidays
were enjoyed by good many people.
The following table shows the number
of daily reports turned in by the deal
erS, the number OF pledges and pur-
cnases recorded and the number Of
watches pawned during each month of
the present wear:

CUSH Is THE MAN.
Senator Washburn Thinks Senator
Davis Will Be Reelected.


Senator w. d. Washburn arrived
home yesterday from Washington and
took Up quarters at the West. The
senator is in the city OH private busi-
ness and will leave for Washington
again next Saturday. He was seen last
night by reporter for the GLOBE, and
asked who. in his opinion, would win
the senatorial fight. He replied that he
thought there was no question but CuSh
Davis would be reelected. The le1 1iS-
lators he said--referrng to the Repub-
lIcanS-were elected Oh the Davis issue
aid with the understanding they should
vote 10 send hm back to Washington.
He was sure they would not betray their
trust when the critical moment arrived.
His anti-optlon bill, he SAID, was at
present in the senate, where number
of amendments had been added to it.
They did not materially change the
nature of the bill, and when it came
back to the house he felt convinced it
would pass. He did not take any stock
in the report that the Chicago wheat pit
intended to devise some scheme where
by the Northwestern wheat dealers
would be Disseminated against and boy
cotted. Much less did he think the Chi
cago men would attempt to injure the
Minneapolis grain dealers, for they were
already OH record through the action OF
the chamber of commerce as being op-
posed to his anti-Option bill.
Senator WaShburn was Of the opln-
ion that the present session OF congress
would De a short one and that very
few important laws would be formu-
lated. On the reported threatened
financial crisis in the East he said there
certainly was nervous feeling in East
ern money circles because of the
fear that general silver cir
culation would be inaugurated. People
were trifle nervous because they
feared there would be general eX-
portation of gold, which would tend to
make them hoard it and tighten the
money market. In time, however, this
feeling of nervousness would wear off.
The senator declined to express his
opinion on the matter of the speaker
ship. He did not know whether Crisp
would be reelected or not.

To Aid Homesteaders.

The Homestead Benefit" at Century
hall last evening was not so we'll at
tended as its promoters had reason to
expect, in view of the fact that st.
PauPs eloquent attorney, w: W. Erwin,
was extensively advertised to speak.
Perhaps the people doubted that he
would, which turned out to be the fact.
A series of musical performances was
rendered before the speechmaking be-
gan. Miss Maud Ulmer WarDled IN her
wonted sweet manner and highly
pleased the audience.
After few appropriate Introductory
remarks by II. B. Martin, who acted as
mastey of ceremonies, Rev. w. s. Sam
Die spoke on the Homestead strike and
kindred subjects in his accustomed
vein. He warned his auditors against
misstatementS relative TO labor which
habitually appear in the newspapers
He said five factors entered into the
Homestead question: Capital. labor,
monopoly, the interest of the local com
munity, and that of the state. He de-
nounced the Street Railway company
phil ID. Armour and those of such ilK.
He was applauded to the echo i'll his
impassioned flights Of oratorical denun-
Citations.

HOWARD AND THE sPiTz.
The Unpleasant adventure OF a
CITY Police insuec.Or.

City Police Inspector.
A terrible tragedy occurred OH Nicol-
let avenue last night about 8 o'clock.
Henry Michaels, a conviyal soul, tackled
the flowing bowl little too often dur
ing the evening, and in meander-
ing down Nicollet avenue he al
lowed his spirits to overflow in all
directions. He concluded he wanted
TO do business with w. ii. Adam
son, the pawnbroker, so he marched
up stairs to his office. Adamson Oh
iected to Michaels' society, and quickly
marched him down again. When they
got 70 the foot of the stairs MichaeiS
with his rght Oh the pawnbroKer's
nose. The latter yelled Justify for the
police, and Inspectors Hankinson and
Howard came upon the scene, blowing
like porpoiSeS from the eXertlon OF
running.
When they reached there they found
Michaels in Il pugiIiStic attitude ready
to land a couple more of his CUrbetts on
AdamSon's already SOIe nasal append
aye. AdamSOn was in the DOORWAY and
between his legs stood his spitZ dog.
with tail erect and eyes flashing fire.
uanklnson took Michaels in tow and
Howard directed his attention TO the
spitz dog. 1t was a foolish
thing for him to do, for
spitz dogs are ferocious animals,
regular cannibals, in fact. Howard
discovered the truth of this statement,
for before he could draw bis, '.trusty" re-
vOlver to protect himself the SpitZ had
him by the calf of the leg. Howard
howled and the spitZ chewed away like
veteran, and when he grew tired OF
chewing he let go and ran up stairs
with portion of the detectives calf
and trouser in his mouth. Michaels
was locked up at the station and war
rant will be sworn out for the spItz to-
day, charging him with mayhem.

Tatro's Exclamation.

Agent Tatro makes this explanation
of the humane society's connection with
the TulIy children:
The three girls in question have a
farm, left them by their father, Walter
fully, of about twelve acres, valued at
$4,000 1t is in good condition, bring
ing an income of $3.50 per year. Mr..
Beal, who never was president OF the
humane society. as stated, but only
chairman of the board of directors, was
compelled to go to California, and L
only acted upon his request, as his
agent. When we were unable to find
Alice Tully suitable place we could
no more than charge for her board. The
claim that she was compelled to work
is entirely false, as she attended school
the whole time. The only charge OBJ
iected to by the guardian, the loan and
trust company. through its attorney,
Mr.. MoIryneaux, is 5000 in board, to
which | submit. Should all bills be
presented today and paid by the estate
there would be cash balauce to the
credit of the three girls of $2l3. besides
the farm and its income"

New YORK, Dec. Ex-senator William
Nj. Stewart, of Nevada, is In town.
"The monetary conference" he said,
sis fraud. 1t won't amount to any
thing. If the Republicans do not hurry
up and pass free coinage bill this win
ter they will not carry state west Of
the Rocky mountains in 1896. If the
Democrats do not pass a free coinage
bill when they come into power, if they
have control of both branches Of con
greSS. the PopulistS will elect presi-
dent in 1876" Senator Stewart said he
thought the Populists had come to Stav.
Free coinage will be one of their primci-
pal issues. He said he did not know
which party would have majority in
the senate after March
