At the Bates commencement dinner
Senator Frye related this anecdote of the
late Leland Stanford and the retiring
president of Bates, who is one of the
most accomplished money raisers who
ever went on the war path: President
Cheney came to me in Washington and
wished me to introduce him to Senator
Stanford. The East shook hands with
the West. The result of the meeting
was exactly what expected. Senator
Stanford was delighted with President
Cheney, and gave him check for 81, 900.
About four months afterward he came
to my desk in the Senate chamber and
told toI me he had just seld colt for S.
5oO. lie had already given $1,000 to an
Iowa institution. He wanted to keen
$500 for his own pocket money, and the
remaining $1,000 he was going to send to
President Cheney, for he was the best
man he ever saw

Nathaniel Robbins Maxcy, a California
pioneer, and native of North Sears
mont, died at Los Angeles, on June 10Th.
MIR. Maxcy sailed from Belfast in 1s49 in
the bark W. 0. Alden, with large
company of townsmen, the noted Dyer
brothers being among them. They went
around Cape Horn, being six months on
the way to San Francisco. He mined in
Placetville, Dutch Flat, Gold Hill, Don
ner Lake, Narrow Ridge, for about ten
years after which he went into trade.
He has been located for sixteen years at
Los Angeles. He leaves several rela-
lives in Maine, Massachusetts, and the

The Belfast Age speaks of that ssinfa-
nous Republican measure the Sherman
silver law. The Age should know that
it was Democrats that passed this meas
ure in the Senate, the vote standing for
the bill ~ Democrats and Is Republi-
cans and against Democrats and 10
Republicans. Perhaps the Age is par
donable for its blunder, inasmuch as Its
regular editor has gone to Pictou and
the amateur who is now running it has
devoted his enegies for many years past
largely to exploiting the virtues of high
license.

When an individual devotes his ener-
gies to single object he is more likely
to accomplish it than if he divides them
among several. The same is true of a
body of individuals, when concurrence
among them is necessary to do thing,
as in the case of Congress. If Congress
assemblies in special session for the
single purpose of improving our finan-
cial legislation and devotes its energies
to that single purpose it may
accomplish something. But if it comes
together with the intention of tinkering
the tariff, erecting new banking system
and doing lot of other things besides
settling the silver difficulty. proba-
bly, it will fritter away several months
to no good purpose. We can see
how the opponents of the repeal of the
Sherman law should want Congress to
take up the tariff, for it is obvious that
it will help them defeat repeal, but why
the friends of repeal should encourage
an attempt to tinker the tariff at the
special session passes our comprehen-

A Case Comes Up in the Police
Court
Yesterday afternoon the cases of
Joseph ana William Moronski and

the fish and game law. came up before
Judge Cory in the police court. Attor-
neys Albert johnson. of Red Wing, and
j. j. McCafferty, of this city. appeared
for the defendants. who are charged
with catching fish in the Mississippi
river with a seine. The attorneys ar
igued motion to dismiss Oh the grounds
that the law under which the coi,-
.plaiut was issued is unconstitutional.
The first point is made Oh section of
the law which vests i'll the state all title
TO the fish in all rivers, lakes and
streams in the state. The second point
raised is on section %. which provides
that any FISH found in the possession of
any person is prima tacia evidence that
1t was unlawfully caught, and in the
trial of such person the burden of proof
is on the defendant. and it must be
shown that he did not unlawfully catch
the fish. The attorneys had not CON-

oNE-siDED COURTESY.

The tactics of the minority members
of the senate during the discussion of
the silver bill have been diSreputable
and deSpicable in the highest degree.
LII their desperate endeayorS to prevent
action on measure that vitality con-
Germs the welfare of the entire country
they have violated deceney, outraged
public sentiment and defied that very
precedent upon which they rely for sue
cess and to which they so frequently
appeal for Justification. They have
been shameless and defiant in their dis
regard OF public duty; they have been
dishonest i'll their assumptions of per-
SOnal and political Integrity; their
brazen effrontery has been tiagrant,
dctatOrial and unreasoning. They have
claimed privileges for themselves which
they have denied to majority of their
fellow membets, and in every manner
and upon every occasion have demon
strated their own personal pusillanimity
and the weakness of their cause. While
claiming the extreme of senatorial
courtesy for themselves. they have de-
MED even modicum of courtesy to
the majority. While insisting upon
liberal construction of the rules for
their own benefit, they demand strict
enforcement of these rules against their
opponents. They whine and bully by
turns; plead for privileges to which
they have no title and demand rights.
that the law denies them. They are,
taken all in all, as c0wardiy lot of
knayes as have ever diSgraced a legisla-
tive body.
Too much liberation has been shown
this horde of greedy and plutocratic
monopolists. Through fear OF laying
themselves open to the charge Of illib-
crafty, the majority have gone to the
opposite extreme. They have per
mitted themselves to be vilified and mis-
represented; they have submitted to in
dignities which arouse feeling OF re-
sentiment in every honest breast; they
have endured unmerited reproach, eX-
asperating accusations, eontemptible in
nuendo, and amid it all have maintained
a commendable dignity and self-pos-
session.
But the time has arrived when tor
bearance ceases to be virtue. When a
senator seeks to block the wheels of
legislation by constructive absence
from his seat, and to demonstrate his
absence claims the attention of his col
leagues for a half-hour speech, the
height of absurdity is reached and the
limit of courtesy passed. There is no
recourse for the majority but to enforce
the rules of the senate vigorously, and
through the agency Of the sergeant-at-
arms not only compel the attendance of
members, but compel them to record
their votes upon the pending measure.
This can be done legally, aud in the in
terests of equity it should be done, and
that without delay. The precedents of
the house of representatives allow OF
even more arbitrary measures, but there
| may not be occasion for the exercise of
the methods Of Speaker Reed in the
upper house of our congress.
When federation is as ill requited as it
has been in this emergency. it is neces-
sary to call halt. and the sooner the
majority exercise their proper power
| the better it Will be for the interests of
| the whole country.

TERRIBLE STORM
Does Some Damage to Worlds

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-A terrific thun-
der storm broke over the worlds fair
white city tonight. The storm came
on at O'Clock and continued with
great fury until 10 o'clock, after
which the wind subsidized and gentle
but copious rain fell all night. Several
parties were caught on the lagoons dur
ing the ferceSt part of the storm and all
emergency crews were called out. Fort
unately there were no capsiZes, and the
sailing parties only suffered thorough
drenching.
The roof over the Russian section in
the art building was badly wrecked, and
glass in the skylight was broken, thrown
in the room beneath, falling against
frames and pictures, and doing some
damage.
The rain poured into the section, but

tarpaulins, covered the roof and secured
the art property against damage by
