THE TWENTY EIGHTH SEES
SION

The lobby of the Merchants warns us
eighth since the state dropped its ter
rltoria swaddling clothes and put on
the top boots and pantaloonS of incip-
lent statehood, is upon us with all its
uncertainties, its possibilities for good.
its probabilities of ill. The corridors of
the old Mecca of politicians are illied
with the usual throng. There is the
anxious and ambitious fellow from
Wayback, who carried his precinct for
JONES for the legislature, and who
wants a clerkShip and will take up with
a job in the cloak room rather than not
have anything. There are lots of him,
and he is easily distinguishable in the
crowd. The presence of the profes
sional lobbyist Oh the ground shows
that this shrewd observer of men is not
of the opinion that the dear people have
sent impeccable men to make and un-
make laws for them, and he SaunterS
about, forming the acquaintance of the
new members and quietly sizing them
up. He will have them all classified Ill
a day or two as ION it" or not, with. a
very close guess as to the figure at
which they value themselves. There
will not be more than quarter of the
members listed on his books, but that
will be enough for his purposes.
Then there are the members who
want chairmanships Of the committees.
Some of them want one only that they
can reward some faithful worker with
sinecure clerkship. Others want one
for the honor there may be in it-a sort
Of stepping stone to future position.
Some, who figure in the lobbyists books,
want one for what there is i'll it. ChalI-
men of important committees have been
known to quietly pocket bills curtalling
the opportunities for profit OF Sundry
interests, or have refused to call their
committees together to consider them,
or have reported bills back favorably or
the contrary, without consulting their
committees. These men are all guessing
very hard as to who will be the success
full candidate for speaker, so that they can
throw their strength to him in exchange
for the Craftsmanship they want. This
is q very delicate job, for mistake in
tying to the defeated candidate-failure
to 'pick winner" back and
ignoble seat during the session.
The member is also there who comes
up with a scheme or TWO in his head for
the real betterment Of things so far as
mere law can do it. You can pick him
out at a glance. He has thoughtful
face; a far-away look In his eye; takes
no interest in the struggle for place
which men call Organization" looks
infinitely bored when the candidate fol-
flag-raiser or third assistant sergeant
alarms importuneS his vote. In ninety
days he will be the most disappointed
man in the lot, but he will be a great
deal wiser than he is today. In the
glimmer of the dawn of the last day of
the session, just before the final adj
journment, he will find the measure he
has worked for all winter objected to as
a general bill, and see it 90 down into
the clerks basket to give right of way
to some bill with job i'll it.
Gentlemen. all, the GLOBE gives you
a happy New Year and bids you well
come, and promises to stay by you
faithfully from now until the end.

SPECIMEN LIES.

TO err is human, and to lie is Repub-
Jican. What a mass of foolish, stupid,
lnane lies they are sending about just
nowsin an abortive attempt to console
zach other in affiiction and defeat and
10 SOW the seeds of discOrd among the
victorious Democracy. Here, for in
stance, is sample lie sent out by the
Washington correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch (Rcp.) Says this Truth
ful James: The senatorial contest in
Texas has alsO'-the "aIso" refers to
previous lies -"been brought to the at
tention of Mr.. CLEVELAND. The pres
ent senator, ROGER Q. MILLS. was
appointed by the governor. He
is a candidate for the long term.
Gov. HoGG is also candidate,
and it will surprise some people to learn
that MI. CLEVELAND fayorS The can
didacy of Gov. HoGG."
Yes, it will surprise some people
when they learn it. And it surprises
them very much to learn that Mr.. Mills
twas appointed by the governor" 1t
was the impression everywhere, save in
the riOtous imagination of this CORE
spOndent, that Mr. Chiffon had been
appointed by the governor to take the
seat Of Senator REAGAN, resigned,
pending the meeting of the Texas legis-
lature; and that promptly on meeting
the legislature turned down the gov
ernor's appointee and candidate, and
sent Mr.. Mills. to the senate for the
uneXpired term.
Ignorance and mendacity are exhib-
tied in about equal measure in this
Washington special to our Pittsburg
contemporary. Mr.. MILLS was never
appointed to the senate by HoGG.nor by
any other governor; and if Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND mixes at all in Texas politics it
will certainly not be for the purpose of
opposing Mr.. MILLS, who is his warm
personal friend aud steadfast ally.

pAsCoTT NOT WANTED.
His Whereabouts Known by the
Detectives.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-"Whether William
b. Tascott is in Alaska or not, he did
not murder Millionaire A. j. Smell. The
man VINO murdered Smell lives i'll Chi
cago and is we'll known. He does not
want to have Tascott captured, and he
is furnishing him money all the time to
keep away from Chicago"
So said Detective John Dier last night,
after being shown the dispatch from
Spokane, Wash, published yesterday,
to the effect that Jules Beauvois, who
recently returned from Alaska, de-
clared that in Sitka, juneau and other
places he saw and c0nversed with las
colt. Detective DER passed more than
two years making Investigations of the
mysterious robbery and assassination
and in searching for the murderer. He is
confident that Tascott was not the
slayer of Millionaire Smell, and is equal
ly positive that the deed was committed
by man still living in this city.
Jules BeauY0is knew TascOtt in
Chicago, and should therefore De able
to recognize him in Alaska, although
Tascott is much thinner-faced than he
was when the murder was committed"

MURDERED FOR MONEY.
An Old Man the Victim OF Thugs.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 2. james
Beardsley, a millionaire resident of this
city and the donor of one of its largest
public parks, died at his home last night
as the result of injuries received in a
struggle with three masked burglars on
the night of Dec. %. Mr.. Beardsey
was seventy years of age. The robbery
was one of the boldest ever committed
in this section of the state. Early in
the evening three masked men entered
the house, which is situated in the
suburbs. They placed revOlvers at the
head Of the aged man and compelled him
to deliver up about 500 in money and a
valuable gold watch. A servant was then
compelled to take one of the robbers
through the house while he selected
such articles as he cared to take away.
Mr.. Beardsley was kept with cooked
revolver at his head for half an hour
while the other robbers were ransack-
ing the place. When the intruders left
they threatened every member of the
family If they made an cutlery. Mr..
BeardSley has been Frustrated ever
since, and steadily failed until death
came last night. The detectives are
working up clue that they think will
lead to the detection of the thieves, who
are now wanted for murder as well as
robbery.

An Unknown Suicide.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2. An east
bound freight train on the Atchison
branch of the Santa Fe road yesterday
afternoon killed an unknown woman at
Kilmer, seven miles from here. 1t was
evidently a deliberate case of suicide,
as when the engineer first saw the
woman she was lying PROSTATE on the
ground between the rails. An empty
chlorofOrm bottle was found near by,
and the fact that she was seen walking
Oh the track five minutes before war
rants the presumption that she SWal-
lowed the poison and then threw herself
i'll front OF the approaching train. A
scrap of paper in the woman's purse
bore this name Lola Dilies.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 2.-R. S. Nun
ger left this afternoon for New York to
be present at meeting of the directors
of the Duluth & Winnipeg road, to be
held Thursday noon at the Astor house.
This meeting was decided at meeting
held in st. Paul last week for the pur-
pose of completing the deal passing the

Huntington is known to have been
heavy purchaser Of South Shore stock
in New York. Mr.. Hill is cutting into

Gus OF returning the courtesy in fields
hitherto eschewed by him. Hunting
toms purchase of roads in this vicinity
is the means he has taken TO revenge
himself upon Hill for the inroad the
Great Northern magnate is preparing
to make into his Southern rivals terri
tory. The explanation has also been
made that Huntington is only acting as
agent in the matter, and that, while he
figures as principal in the deal, he in
tends to turn the roads over when the
purchase is made to some one else. If
true, it can only mean that Hunt
ington is acting for and with the Cana
dian Pacific, and that the Canadian road
is to retain possession of the South
Shore road and add Duluth & Winnipeg
to its American holdings.

form the selecting bodies. These bodies
are always a fair average OF the COM

THE SAME Old STORY.

The story that comes over the wire
from Denver is but repetition on
slightly different lines of story that is
old and frequent and shameful. Placer
gold is found in rich deposits in the val
ley of the San Juan river in the Navajo
reservation, negotiations for the vaca-
ton of which had been completed, but
no proclamation made throwing it open
to settlement. While the impatient
prOSpectOrs are waiting for permission
to enter and reap the golden harvest, a
company sends on machinery, men enter
and stake out the claims, and the pros
peetors learn that the reservation had
been thrown open some time before, but
quietly. The company" obtained pos
session of this information to the eXclu-
sion of the public, and the rage of the
waiting prospectors. The name CT the
secretary of war is associated with that
of the favored company.
The story may be true or not. 1t is
probable. Secretary ELKINS may be
connected with the "sooners" or not.
There is enough in his former exploits
in this region to make ii probable that
he is. Such things have been done be-
fore. The would-be settlers OH the can
celed railroad grants in Wisconsin
found that Senator SPoONER had pre-
served the benefits of the lands to his
companies by an apparently innocent
proviso exempting bona fide purchasers.
Lumbermen had ''in good faith'
"bought" the land in the interim be-
tween the probable and the actual pas
sage of the bill. We had in our Mile
Laos reservation a similar case Of a
quiet throwing open of the surrendered
lands and a speedy withdrawal, but not
so speedy but that favored parties had
entered the choice pine tracts. No,
there is nothing improbable in the
story. Paternalism in government
makes just such deals possible and prob.
able.
