DOWN WITH THE U. S. SENATE

The above is the fastest circular
that has been sent out from the east,
and caps the climax of this circular
business. The eastern press is howl
ing forth the same kind Of treason.
The eastern press is bowling for clo-
ture rule. The New York Times,
Herald and World are loudest. In
1891 when the famous force bill was
agitating the senate, these same three
papers were crying out to the very
heavens against gagging debate, and
called on the democratic minority to
resort to every known method to pre-
vent vote. How can those two
faced machines of plutocracy justify
their position now?

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE electric age
was ushered into being in this last de-
cade of the nineteenth century, when
President Cleveland, by pressing but
ton, started the mighty machinery and
rushing waters and revolving wheels in
the Worlds Columbian exposition. No
exhibit OF the fair that is to attract
thousands to this city, from far and
near, for the next six months can be
more marvellous than the magical effect
following the solemn opening of the
fair today. OF the multitude of visit
ors-some estimate the number as high
as 200, ,000-probably not one fully real
lied the full import of the effect that
was to come from the arrangement
30 cleverly devised for the opening of
the exposition. 1t was known in q
vague way that the president was to
press golden key, and that electrical
communication with the machinery was
to start the fair, but none realized how in
tricate was this machinery, how in
finite the ramifcations of that
electric spark, until great fountains
threw up their geysers 70 feet into the
air, and the rumble and hum of wheels
in the manufactures building and the
clatter of machinery in all parts Of that
area of mile square or more, told the
story of the final contamination of
scientific thought. The Efeless started
into being on every hand; draped stat
usry shed its veil and revealed to the
world the artistic lsbors of the past 18
months, and in moment all that had
been apathy and inertia and inactive
through the long hours of the morning,
sprsng into animated e4istencs aud
thrilled the multitude and crowned the
triumph of the exposition. In previous
expositions the possibilities Of electri-
city had been limited to the mere start
ing of the engines in the machinery
hall, but in this it made Thousands OF
servants do its bidding, and from the
great Corliss engine and the mammoth
fountains down to the minutest acts
where power and touch were requisite,
the magic OF electricity did the duty of
the hour.

Two Lives Depending on q Supreme
Court Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The lives Of two
men convicted of murder in the state OF
California and sentenced to be hanged,
are depending upon the fate OF motion
made today in the United States supreme
court by Attorney General Hart of that
state. After these men were sentenced
in the county courts to be
hanged in the county Jail by
the county sheriff, and while their cases
were pending appeal in the supreme
court Of the state, the legislature passed
law directing that execution for capital
offenses should be in the state prison by
the warden thereof. The judgment OF
the lower courts being affirmed
by the supreme court of the
state, counsel for the condemned
appealed to the United States supreme
court on the ground that the law direct
ing executions to be held in the county
jsils, being repealed and the new law
not appling to the judgments rendered
before the passage, the sentence of the
accused could not be carried
out except in violation of the 18th
amendment of the constitution. The
court received the appeal and counsel
was given until the 18th inst. in which
to file briefs in support OF or in opposi-
ton thereto.
