Colonel w. B. Hayes, who has been tried
twice OH the charge Of perjury and who was
convicted on the second trial. was sentenced
yesterday by Judge MARITIME to eight years
Imprisonment. The extreme penalty for the
crime is ten years. In the circumstances the
penalty fixed by the Judge is not excessively
severe. A conviction for perjury is hard to
obtain, as was shown by the disagreement of
the Jury on the first trial of Hayes. 1layess
conviction and sentence mark a triumph OF
Justice the completion of which ought not to
be delayed by appeals.
The House of Representatives has maintained
its bad reputation to the last. Yesterday 1T
took a step which, a. Mr. Holman remarked,
is strongly suggestive OF the famous sa'a AIRY grab
in the XLIld Congress. This was the adoption
Of a joint res luton providing that after April
every member not the chairman of com
mittee shall be supplied with clerk whose
salary shall be paid out Of the Treasury. The
estimated cost OF this luxury for the coming
Congress is over 1898, 900. Yet this House,
with it's Democratic majority of nearly $50, has
at various times prcfessed an intense desire TO
mike record for economy.
A large-sized job now before the Legislature
is described by our Albany correspondent to-
day. 1t is a plan to give a franchise to the
Queen City Gaslight Company to lay pipes and
mains and carry on business throughout the
length and breadth of Erie and Niagara coun-
tics In these counties are the cities OF Buffalo,
Lockpolt and Niagara Falls, besides number
of large villages Naturally the people in that
end of the State are greatly disturbed at this
proposed wholesale giving away of their rights

A famous old tree disappeared with
the fall of the big cottonwood on the
common. 1t was probably the largest
tree on the common. Standing near the
bandstand i'll the hollow, it was a favor
lite and well known shade. Probably
there is no tree either on the common or
the public garden which comes to ma
turity more quickly than does this pop
illus monilifera, and rs there are many
more trees of the same species on the

that from the time of his entrance
into politics as ward heeler and
bridgetender Townsend has been the
pupil and tool of Mcdonald or Harri-
son or both of them. He lives in Nc
Donald's ward (the Eleventh). and
when the ex-boss was fighting Harri-
son two years and half ago, it was
Townsend who threw Harrison and
Adolph kraus out of a polling booth.
The encounter tended to strengthen
Townsend in the present mayors es-
timation, and last spring he took the
ex-bridgetender fully back into the
fold. In return for votes in the Elev-
enth ward, division of the fees of
the oil inspectorship was compounded
for his benefit. Townsend is now en-
joying part of these illegal fees, and
it was limited to the secretary that
the president might not feel comfort
able should the grand jury of Cook
county take it into its head to inves-
tigate this Illegal division of public
money with a view to criminal pros
ecution. Mr.. Cleveland is not fond
of applicants who have prediction
for laying themselves liable to crimi-
nal prosecution.
Moreover. Townsend's whole polit-
zeal record was exposed. Mr.. Cable
showed him to be chronic office
seeker and office-holder. He was the
colleague of Bull Burke in the leg
islature. and he is now west park
commissioner. On this presentation
Mr.. Carlisle could not but decide to
hold back the appointment.
The turning down of Jimmie"
created a sensation in the Illinois
delegation today-not an unpleasant
one. by any means, in some respects.
But it smashed the new slate. and
that didn't suit Durborow. Goldzier

to be quite willing to shove Mikes

in the juggle they can boost their
own place-hunters into snug berths.

NASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Commis-
sioner Jimmy" Townsend's JIG is
up, and for that Ben Gable is respon-
sible. Had Cable kept out of the way
a few hours longer. or better still for
Townsend, had not some enterprising
Gable man wired his probable APP
pOintment back here immediately al
ter he had read it in the Chicago
Evening Post of Yesterday, his APP
poiutment as collector of internal
revenue would have been sent in to-
day. 1t was made out and in a bum
die to be taken from the treasury de-
partment to the White House for
President Cleveland's signature.
Cable was at the capitol when the
telegram, containing the news from
the Chicago Evening Post was handed
to him. y moment later he was in
cab whirling at full speed up Penn
sylvania avenue to the treasury de-
partment The elevator was ready
to start. but his legs We're quicker,
and before the lift reached the sacre-
tary's floor. Cable was speeding down
the corridor ut n Nancy Hanks clip.
a moment later he was in n room
not a thousand miles away from the
secretary's. In about three seconds
a Cableite came quickly out. and af-
ter a brief, swift walk disappeared in
Secretary Carlisle's room. He asked
the secretary question. The secre-
tary nodded. He then bent forward
and talked earnestly for half min
ute. The secretary listened and
when the Cableite finished said some
thing in stage whisper which to
man who wasn't paving any particu-
lar attention sounded like. The I
YOU say" Then the secretary
reached for the bundle of appoint

marked:

Mr.. Gable Rejoicing

Then he smiled in way that had
Commissioner Thownsend seen it
would have made his flesh creep.
The Cableite smiled, too, left the Of
flee and went back to the room where
Cable sat holding his breath. There
were q few whispered words, a grip
of the hand and Cable came out
breathing regularly again and WHIP
ing the presperation from his brow.
He didn't say anything, but he looked
as he did on certain occasion a cou-
pie of months ago, when. after a long
interview with the president, he went
to a friend and wringing out his per-
spiration-soaked handkerchief, eiac-
ulated:
'Well, | didn't get my man in,
but knocked the other fellows out. Z"
The talismanic words which 'held
up" Townsend's appointment are un-
derstood to have been something like
the following:
Jimmy Townsend is one of Mike
McDonald's employees and Carter
Harrison heller"
That such words should have
prompted Secretary Carlisle to hold
up the appointment is not strange,
nor is it strange that President
Cleveland, when Secretary Carlisle
explained to him why he had done so,
approved of his action. The malign
influence of Mcdonald is universally
known.

Holes His Appointment-A Close Call
for Spangler, but Cable BaIks the Game
The contest over the disposition of
Chicago federal patronage, which is
now going merrily on at Washing
ton, is attracting the attention of
llllnoisians generally, but outside of
Chicago there is no city in the state
where it is being watched more close
V than in Rock Island Local politi-
cal interest is centered in the fipht
from the fact that the Hon. Ben I.
Cable is taking such a prominent
part in it. Mr.. Cable is earnestly
championing RUDE Spangler, well
known here, for collector of internal
revenue, and the reports from Wash
ingtOn are to the effect that he is
making the hottest kind of fight
for him. Those who know Mr.. Cable
are not surprised at the vim and
tact which the popular Rock Islander
IS displaying, but his generalship
and fighting qualities have surprised
the politicians at the national CAPT
tai. and some of his enthusiastic adj
mirers have dubbed him the Young
Napoleon of the West"
Looked Dark for SpangIer
Aspecial to the Chicogo Post of Sat
urday shows that Mr.. Gable is not
daunted in the face of imminent de-
feat, neither does he lose his head as
do many political generals in such a
crisis. As was reported from Wash
ington last week Twohig the oppos-
ing candidate to Spangler was with
