This was followed by little Virgil

Squire Mapes Meets Sevcr,IIniury

The venerable Ellsworth Mapes.
cN-police magistrate of Moline. sus-
tanned n bad fall in Mitchell Il Lynde's
building this morning. which will
probably result in permanent dis
ability. Mr. Mapes had made a call
at an Office on the third floor of the
building, and in descending the stairs
reached til e first landing in safety.
Thinking however, that he was
in the hall he made misstep
and fell down the second flight 1t
was readily seen that he was severely
injured, and being helped up he was
conveyed to DR.. Ludewig's office
| where an examination disclosed a
fracture of the right hip. Later he
was taken to his home in Moline in
the ambulance from that city. He
is 81 wears of age and owing to his
advanced years he will probably
never fully recover from the misfor-
fortune.

SOME POINTERS.

Business is improving. There is an
easier tone to money and manufacturing
enterprises are starting up all over the
country. There are indications of gen
eraI revival soon of the enterprises
which have been most seriously affected
by the disastrous panic. There Is a
more hopeful feeling pervading the en-
tire business world, If press dispatches
and interviews with prominent business
men and financiers are TO be believed.
and there seems no reason to doubt the
statements made.
There Is. however, still a disposition
to keep money close I'm this city "A dis
position, too, which Is causing much In

few dollars now and then TO help them

REFORM THE SENATE RULES.

There is something refreshing in the
style that was shown in passing the re-
peal bill through the house. after the
long siege in the senate. In less than
three hours all speech-makng. all dila-
tory motions. all fIibustering was over
come and the house had concurred in
the senate amendment by a vote Of 191
to a. 1t is worth while to have a code
of parliamentary rules by which such
a result can be attained without any
suspicion of unfairness on the part of
the presiding officer, and with no COM
plant of i'll treatment from the minority.
The house rules seem to have solved the
problem of securing action on important
measures without any real interference
with the rights OF the minority. They
secure government such as was con-
templated by the founders Of our gov
eminent They give the majority the
power to rule within the limitations Of
the constitution. 1t is right that the
majority should have that power, and
should be responsible to the people for
the exercise of it.
We would suggest to the senate that,
instead of adjourning while the house
is getting the tariff bill in shape. it
devote its attention to a revision of its
rules. and get into shape for effective
action when the tariff bill and other
important measures shall come before
it. 1t has been demonstrated that I'M
der its present system the senate is
powerless to act against the wishes of
a determined minority. The difficulty
was avoided in the case of the repeal
bill by the backing down of the minori-
ty, but there is no reason to anticipate
such action when the senate is divided
on party lines. We. need not expect
repuf lean minority to give up the
fight against a tariff bill or the repeal
of the federal election laws. There is
no united press and united people to
bring the weight of public sentiment
to bear on them in party questions. The
only way to secure majority rule is by
an amendment of the senate rules, and
they ought to be amended quickly. The
whole country has condemned the ex-
listing system as unwise. unconstitution-
al and un-American.
