THE BUSHNELLS.

The yard or two OF legal notices which
appear from time to time in one of the
evening papers, announcing that vari-
Gus parties will apply TO the district
court for relief from the BUsHNELIs,
affords an interesting reminder of those
departed gentlemen. For a while no
public enterprise in this city seemed
capable of successful prosecution with
out their cooperation, and the shortest
path to great wealth was under their
guidance. When they finally went
away There ensued widespread con-
sternatiOn and regret. The confident
assurance that their absence was but
temporary allayed in some degree the
general excitement, and their friends
and followers waited anXiOuSly but
courteouSly for their return. Daily bull
letins were published announcing the
condition of their health, and their rep
reSentative informed all inQuirers that
they were taking much-needed vaca-
ton, and would be found at the old stand
after a brief interval. The promise has
not been withdrawn. and will no doubt
be made good in the fullness of time.
But the strain has become too great,
and the district court, that fOunt of as
suaging remedies, has been resorted to
in the eXigeney. 1t will do what it can,
and it can do great deal. But can it give
to our church sociableS and the meet
ings of the chamber of commerce the
perfect completeness they used to have
before the BUSHNELLS became men,
Dry? The GLOBE fears not. Much
wisdom can be found in statutes and
the rules of court. but when it comes to
noble sentiments, without which no
community can prosper, the full bench
Of judges can afford us no substitute
for the BUsHNELLs. They were with
out rivals in this line.

Senator PALMER yesterday spoke in
favor of electing United States senators
by direct vote of the people. In the
course of his argument advocating the
submission OF an amendment to the con-
stitution, the senator from illinois re-
viewed at considerable length the his
tory and modern notifications of that
document. There is abundant testi-
mony that he voiced the sentiment of
large majority of the voting population
of the country. The unpopularity of
the present system of choosing repre-
sentatIveS to the United States senate
has been materially augmented during
the past fifteen years. Dissatisfaction
with present procedure has been freely
expressed in every state i'll the Union.
This dissatisfaction has been materially
strengthened by the apparent impossl-
bility of fair Investigation Of direct
charges of Legislative bribery subse-
Quent to a senatorial election. The SEN
ate is its own judge OF the eligibility of
Its members. SO far it is not recorded
that any member has suffered at the
hands of his fellow members from any
accusation of improper use of money in
securing his election. Practically, a
United States senator once safely
housed in the senate can consider HIM
self as within the shelter of an impreg-
nable fortress. This fact, perhaps more
than any other, has given color of
justice to the murmurs of the people
against legislative elections of senators.
That the senate is fast degenerating
into body of capitalistic representa-
tives is beyond cavil. No one now looks
to the senate for our ablest opponents
of statecraft, or, indeed, for our most
brilliant orators or brainiest men of
affairs. What is incorrectly termed the
lower house of congress now embraces
the ablest representatives of the intelli-
gence and forensic culture of the coun-
try. The senatorial triumphS of WEB
sTER, CALHOUN, CLAY and HAYNE are
not duplicated in these days of patron
age barter. The United States senate
has, unfortunately, ceased to recruit its
ranks from the list of popular statesmen
of the day. simply because the system
of election to its chamber Is not by
popular vote of the people. To remedy

ER'S resolution to submit an amend
ment to the constitution empowering
the people to elect representatives to
the senate by direct vote.
The fate of this resolution is prob
lematical. 1t Is not all original propo-
sitlon. although it may have been pre-
scented at more opportune moment
chan were similar ones, by Senator
MITCHELL, of Oregon, in 1888, and by
Senators TURPIE and CHANDLER at
subsequent dates. Senator mitchell I.
states that the subcommittee of the
committee or privileges and elections
will report favorably upon the resolu-
ton, and he believes the full committee
will make a favorable report, recon-
mending the submission of the proposed
amendment. Should the senate pass
such measure it would, no doubt, meet
but little opposition in the house.

MRS. LEsL1E,s MISTAKE.

All the world which loves lover will
learn with regret that shoals have al
ready appeared in the matrimonial seas
on which Mrs. FRANK LESLIE en-
barked only few months ago under
the happieSt auspices and with the most
liberal advertising. No alliance ever
gave higher promise of mutual bliss
and satisfaction. The bride was ami
mated in the step she took by one of the
sublimest emotions of which the human
breast is capable. She consented to
marry her ardent woer because she adj
mired his mother so much as to find his
advances we'll nigh irresistible. His
motives were not so clearly defined, but
his zeal was beyond question, for he had
followed her across an oceans breadth
to press his suit. The story of their
cOurtship was extensively circulated,
and was confidently expected to make
itself felt in largely increased circula-
ton of the periodicals of which Mrs.
LESLIE is the proprietor. 1t now
turns out that in her concentration on
considerations on this sort, the bride
forgot to inquire as to her lord and
masters personal habits, and already
she finds herself divided from him by a
great gulf. 1t appears that he has con-
tracted an unalterable habit of break
fasting at 1 o'clock in the afternoon,
while she, with the alertness of advanc-
ing years, cannot sleep after in the
morning. All this means that he
sleeps while she is awake, and is awake
while she sleeps. Her admiration for
his mother continues undated; but she
has hardly gotten we'll enough acquaint-
ed with him to know whether she likes
him or not. Nothing could be more
unfortunate than this. 1t is warning
to those who are contemplating matri-
mOny either to refrain entirely or to
plunge only after the most patient and
painstaking investigation. Mrs. LES
LIES case proves conclusively that an
admiration for ones prospective moth
er-in-law is not complete protection
against disaster.

Ward McAllister announces officially
that New York's society" squad has

Desirable Realism.
Elmira Gazette

The talk about Sarah Bernhardts
new fall prompts the thought that the
effort at realism may open new occu-
patton for the man with the iron Jaw.
a man with a jaw capable Of sustaining
a knock-down blow without discomfort
could with proper athletic assistance)
make the finest falls known to his
trionic history.
With the hero striking straight out
like Sullivan at the jaw, and the bearer
thereof going down with the unaffected
spontaneity that follows a square SulIi-
vanesque delivery, the audience would
be able to enjoy bit of naturaIness
that the art of the stage has never been
able to perfectly initiate. Perhaps the
qualifications of the heavy villain may
yet include the ability and willingness
to sustain real ''thumps on the jaw" in
stead of the inane pats on the cheek
that now produce such extravagant imi-
tations of man hit hard.

PLUMB EULOGIZED,
Eloquent Tributes to the Dead
Kansas Statesman.

ELOQUENT tributes Co the Dead
Kansas Statesman.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Among the
petitions reported and referred by the
senate today was one by Mr.. Voor bees
from some citizens of Weedersburg,
Ind, asking that the Pinkerton de-
tectlve force be suppressed by law, or
else that it be Incorporated in the mil
itary force of the country.
MIR. Doiph moved to take from the
calendar and to l,ass the bill extending
for ten years the laws preventing the
Introduction of Chinese into the United
States. but Mr.. Hawley objected. 1t
was, he said, bill of extraordinary
severity, and be wished at least time TO
read it. Mr.. Dolph gave notice that he
would call it up at an early day.
Mr.. PETER offered resolutions that the
senate has heard with profound sorrow
of the death of Senator Plumb, of Kan
SaS, and that as mark of respect to his
memory the business of the senate be
suspended to enable the senate to paw
proper tribute of respect to his high
character and distinguished public SER
vices. Mr.. PETER spoke of him as one
of those grand characters that stand out
among their fellows like peaks in noun
tain ranges. Beginning, he said, as a
poor boy, Mr.. Plumb had been an editor
at sixteen years of age, a captain of
militia at twenty, member of a state
convention at twenty-five, lawyer at
twenty-four. state legislator, lieutenant,
captain and colonel of volunteers at
twenty-five. United States senator at
forty. Surely there was lesson in such
a life, viewed in its own robust person.
atty. with no establishment beyond the
simple truth.
Among ali the tireless workers that
had accomplished the wonderful work
of making Kansas such q great and
prosperous state. none had been more
active and persistent, none more re-
speeted, none more loyal than Mr..
Plumb. His ambition had been to do
rather than to be. 1t was as natural for
him to work as it was for rivers to flow.
He was clear in view, firm i'm opinion,
direct in thought, voluble in speech and
courageous in expression.
Mr.. Cockrell paid his tribute to the
dead senator, and spoke of him as one
whose life read like romance, and who
had discharged his laborious duties in
the senate with credit and honor to the
state of Kansas and to himself.
Mr.. Perkins said that the senate was
not engaged in an unmeaning cere-
mony. A great statesman, q wise legis-
lator, a devoted friend, an eminent and
patriotic citizen was dead, and now slept
in peace and honor in the bosom of the
state he had loved so well. The brilliant
and distinguished service of Mr.. Plumb

promising success to navigate the sky

tons of the possibilities of bombs and
dynamite in evil or enraged hands, the
prophetic picture of the seer in sCa-

light. If his vision is au-
thentic, the forces of anarchy and
chaos can in time makes this an exceed
ingly uncomfortable world for people
with nerves and sensibilities. Explo-

contrivances already in sight. Still the
nihilists in Russia. with the most in

made to utilize the present starving

stir up revolt and lead to a
general overturning. The dispatches

there have been indictments in this
direction, and prominent persons are
going to Siberia for mysterious reasons.

Let Silver Alone.

New York World.
The Democratic majority in the house
ought to insist with determination upon
putting the whole matter aside, for this
session at the least. The party is di-
vided i'll opinion upon the question. In
tariff reform, on which it is unit, it
has surely winning issue. Why should
its representatives in congress force
upon it losing issue, or even a doubt
full one, on the eve Of a campaign which
may involve the question of party SUI
premacY for years to come? The lesson
of the Ohio election ought net to be for
gotten soon.
This congress was not elected upon
the silver question. 1t was elected to
reform the tariff and reduce the taxes.
1t should devote its energies to that,
leaving further silver legislation to be
dealt with by congress elected upon
that issue and representing the deliber-
ately expressed will of the people re-
garding it.
The best thing that the Fifty-second
congress can do with silver is to let il
alone.

in the senate was part of the
imperislrable history of the great
republic. In his tMr. Perkins') opinion
Mr.. Plumb did more work than any man
In the congress of the United States.
His ambition had been to work, to ac-
cOmpliSh results and to leave to his
loved ones as an heritage a record of
kindly deeds and almost matchless
achievements.
Without the advantages of thorough
education, he was one Of the most eff
fective men in law, finance, politics and
craftsmanship. He (Mr. Perkins, had
known many business men and public
men, but never had he known one who
could look after so many interests, as
sumo so many responsibilities and give
his attention to so many cares at once,
without neglecting any. For his future
he (Mr. Perkins had no fear. Mr..
Plumb was not sectarian, was not at
tached to any creed. His was the re-
llgion OF humanity; and In all his pub
lie and private life he had been consist
ent. And senators might rest in the be-
lief that after life well spent, the soul
of the great senator was at rest and
peace in the presence of the eternal
God. After eulogies by Senators Nor
rill. Allison, Hale, Daniels. Dolph and
Turple, the senate adjourned.

AS VIEWED IN THE EAST.
How the Minneapolis Saloon War
Is Regarded.


New York World
The Minneapolis decision to permit
open bars on Sunday seems TO be very
imperfectly understood in the East. 1t
is in fact war measure, an act of de-
Tense in the struggle between the Twin
Cities for supremacy. Minneapolis has
a large and costly hotel ''plant." So
has st. Paul. The st. Paul saloons are
open on Sunday, while those of Mime
apotiS have hitherto been closed. The
observed consequence has been that the
whole army of commercial travellers has
regularly retreated from Minneapolis to
st. Paul every Saturday night, to the
enrichment of the st. Paul hostelries
and the financial embarrassment of
those of Minneapolis. Minneapolis
wants its big West hotel to prosper by
the entertainment of its due share of the
commercial traveller business, and hence
it has decided to offer to sojourners the
iuducement of open saloons. The
change signifies nothing beyond bust
ness enterprise"
