she Saved the License.

One should not be too confident and
precipitate in affairs of the heart. James
Mccarthy of Norfolk has learned this Bit
ter lesson. Last Friday he purchased of
the town clerk a license to marry certain
lovely widow on whom his favors iell
With the parchment in his vest pocket
he presented himself before the widow,
and for the first time asked her to be his
cherished bride; and in the certainty of
her answer he showed her the precious
license. The proposalwas so sudden, and
the swain 30 sure, that the widow was
nettled, and refused him with considera-

Mr. Mccarthy was dazed for a moment.
and then, realizing his discontinue. he
dashed the license to the floor, danced q

next dsy, says the local chronicler. the
economical widow took the license back

hold it until the right man wanted her.

actions Of the senate and house show that
the house is after all, more nearly the
guardian OF the peoples interests than the
senate for the most visionary propositions
of the past few years nave originated in
the senate. Rich men have succeeded in
forcing their way into the body was in
tended TO be next the supreme court in
point of conservatism. They have done it
for the purpose of becoming dispensers of
official spoils, or for honor. or for any one
or more of many other reasons which
have attracted them. Cases are well au-
thenticated where legislatures have been
bought. not openly with money perhaps.
but in the way OF paying the election eX-
penses of members, and in one or two in
stances the debts and mortgages OF men,
bers. THE has contributed TO lowering
of the standard of the senate and of the
state legislatures too. The only method
of purifying both is to elect the senators
by direct vote of the people and be rid of
what is really q star chamber proceeding.
Very many times the people do not know
who Is going to be candidate until the
election is over, and they are powerless
for six years. The same tactics which won
once will win again. aud it is practically
impossible to rid themselves of the in
cubus of poor senator when once he is
chosen.
In undertaking the reform, however, il
must be remembered that the people will
never listen to any plan which overthrows
equal representation. The states have
that guaranteed them, but there is plenty
of evidence that the senators might be
elected by direct vote without protest, eG-
cept from those who have fattened on the
spoils of the present system. The Illinois
democrats Set good example in nominal
ing by state convention. To be sure there
is nothing more binding than party prac-
tice in such action; but in a few years il
would become an established method of
procedure and would drive out all the cor
ruption and abuses that are carried on
now. No political party which had made
az open campaign before the people for 8
particular candidate would venture
to set him aside and vote for
another man when the election
came. Independence among voters
is too common. Numerous other plans
have been advocated some more simple,
some more complicated, but none which.
on the whole. so nearly solves the prob
lem as the nomination by the state con-
vention and a canvass. the same as for
members OF the legislature. while the leg
islature, when il meets in Joint session,
would only carry out the will OF the peo-
pie in e!ecting the candidate OF the peo-
Plies choice. That would solve the prob
lem and would place the man in the sem
ate who was most closely in touch with
the people and understood their needs.

PHILADELPHIA has organized a society
for the suppression Of the Saturday hair
cut. This is great and much needed re-
form. There are men who feel that their
naturally depraved sentiments have not
been fully exercised unless they have
their hair cut on Saturday while twenty
waiting shavers sit on hard chairs and
swear n them soto roce. They should be
ostracised from barberism. Indianapolis
should have society for this purpose. and
pledge tine members not only to refrain
from the pernicious habit themselves but
also 10 boycott BARRIERS who cut hair on
Saturday.

The Cause of the Cordage Break.

Inc cause OF the CordaRe Break.
Now that the cause of the break in that
industrial" stock know as the Cordage
trust has been made public we will have
to lay aside some of those profound re-
Elections on the manner In which organ
feed greed may overreach itself that have
appeared in the Mckinley organs. There
was apparently no reason why this trust
shou d come to grief The Mckinley law
provided bountifully for it, The duties
on the raw material used by it. which had
given the governments a revenue OF
million and half were removed, aud the
duty on manufactured foreign product
put so high that only $50, 403 worth OF
foreign manufactures were imported last
year. There was every reason to lookfor-
ward to great prosperity, and it is not sur
prising that the -four hundred" were
easily induced to put their funds into
cordage. The stock went up and up and
the chappy was happy.
But there was little cloud. Mr.. JOHN
GOOD had not been taken into the COM
bine, because the trust would not agree TO
his terms. MIR. GOOD not only continued
to manufacture cordage, but he put the
price down to bedrock figures and the
trust was obliged to come down after him.
This was hard on the trust, because i;
had taken in several establishments at
fancy prices, and also had purchased sew
eral establishments for the sole purpose
of shutting them up. These circum-
stances, together with the necessity of
making dividends on watered stock, made
IL rather rough shedding for the trust, and
when Mr.. CLEws and his colleagues be-
gan to work their pinch on the treasury a
little too hard the cordage trust grew
weak. And TO add insult to injury Mr..
GOOD now informs the trust that he can
give 1t some valuable pointers on the
cordage business, one of which probably
is that it will be advisable to take Mr..
COOP in on his own terms. Nevertheless
it is to be hoped that this will not be
done IL would perhaps benefit the trust,
but it would be hard on the country.

The OLD BELLMAN.

All honor TO John PaytOn,

For many hour
He waited patiently.
He grasped the hempen bell rope.
While in the convention hall
They sat below,

They sought the nations freedom,
The fathers Of our land,
For freedoms
They formed the laws
That shall forever stand.
And sturdy John Payton
Stood in the duskY tower,
From early light
Till shades Of night
Full many a weary hour.
And when the Joyful tidings
Fell on his listening car.
John Payton rang
thunderous elaug
That echoed far and near.
For said this grim old bellman,
"Let each vibration roll,
Like an iron note
From out thy throat
And spread from pole to pole"
So honor 20 John Payton,
A sturdy patriot he,
And to the bell
