ments are out of place. Mr.. Her.
bert is third-rate lawyer and never
cut much of figure as a congress-
man. His appointment discloses a
desire on the part of President
Cleveland to have no one in his cabi-
net whom he could not easily boss.
Mr.. j. Sterling Morton, having been
a failure in everything else, may find
his particular niche in the agricul-
tural department; it is very doubt
full, however. Last, but by far not
the least, comes the unique, pictu-
rescue and altogether, allround Mr..
Hoke Smith. Just why this bundle
of assumption and pure mendacity
was injected into this mess of I'M
organized humanity is not easy to
comprehend. Mr.. Smiths appoint
ment will add neither lustre to the
administration nor bring peace and
quiet from the South. Taken as a
whole, Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet is
neither thing of1beauty, an associa-
ton of intelligence, nor promise of
future benefits to the people. 1t
may succeed, but it is said to be
very difficult ''to make a silk purse
out of a sow's ear"

A Feather For Bryn Mawr.

Bryn Mawr college is justly proud of
all its departments, but has had occasion
lately to feel especial pride in its depart
ment of mathematics. The young lady
who won the fellowship in that study
for the year 1901 has been the first
woman to secure the privilege of attend
ance upon mathematical lectures for a
full year at the University Of Berlin, and
now two graduate students from Europe
have come to the college this year to
seek instruction in that branch. Miss
Charlotte Agnes Scott, who has just been
made professor Of mathematics at Bryn
Mawr, is a graduate in honors of Girtonl
college, Cambridge, and was given de-.
gree by the University of London.-4

THE OBSTINATE EMPEROR.
He is Determined to Carry the Army
Bill Through.

New York, March 13.-Despite
the demands of the radical press for
his resignation, Chancellor Caprivi,
according to the Berlin correspon-
dent to the Evening Post, appears
determined to fight on till the last
It is understood that even should the
committee, as expected, again re-
iect the army bill on Thursday, he
will take no decisive steps, but calmly
wait until the measure is submitted
to the full house, when he hopes the
decision will r9ersed. In any case,
he will gain respite, as the bill is
not likely 20 be submitted to the
Reichstag much before Whitsuntide,
and he can utilize the interval in final
endeavors to win the Centrists by
concessions in other directions. If
draws another blank in the Reichstag
that body will be dissolved.
The Kaiser's obstinate mood re-
garding the bill is illustrated in his
reply when told that the Conserva-
tives and Centrists had interpreted
the withdrawal of the education bill
as a sign of weakness on the part Of
the Government. The Kaiser re-
sponded: "The army bill will prove
the contrary" and he declared that
he possessed the same strong will as
his grandfather. He has had pro-
longed conferences with Caprivi and
other high generals in the last few
days, and has reiterated his deter
mination to carry the bill through.
With a strong-willed Kaiser and a
resolute opposition, a serious crisis
appears inevitable.
The Consecutive Premier, Anhalt,
in opening the Diet made a signif-
cant speech. He openly declared
that the financial burdens consequent
on the commercial treaties and the
constant increase of the military
charges were becoming unbearable
and there must be an amelioration.

Prairie Fires in Kansas.

HUTCHINSON, KANs, March ID
Reports from Western Kansas state
that destructive prairie fires have
been raging there for the past three
days. The area burned is quite
large, embracing Cove, Lane, Ness,
Hodgeman and Garfield counties.
Three lives were lost in Ness county,
and it is feared when the details OF
devastation are at hand the list Of
casualties will be larger. The tinans
cial loss sustained by the farmers
will be enormous, though no intelli-
gent estimate can be made at this
time. Prairie fires swept the North
east part of this county yesterday,
burning farm houses and barns,
granaries and hay-stacks, together
with considerable live stock. The
wind is blowing a furious gale, and
further losses are certain.

the compensation of Representatives
and Senators. 1t was done under
inst such circumstances as these.
Mar told us: "The country will
condone this act or will approve it,"
yet those who supported that propo-
sition melted away almost en- moSse
before the indignation of their con-
stituents.
Gentlemen, this Congress has not
made too good record on the sub
iect of economy. 1t has not made
so good record that we can afford
at the last hour to create an army of
employees to be paid out of the
Treasury of the United States for
our benefit. Gentlemen, I warn you
this is an act which ought not to be
done.
Mr.. Dickerson. | yield two min
utes to the gentleman from South
Carolina Mr.. Tillman
Mr.. Tillman. Mr.. Speaker, I want
to say to my Democratic friends that
the Republicans some years ago
passed "salary grab" and got their
party into bad position. Let the
Democrats, with a two-thirds ma
jority here, pass this bill and they
will get into worse one, because
the Butler grab was a bold, direct
one, while this will be a cowardly,
indirect, virtual steal. Why was this
resolution not brought forward at
the first session, so the people could
pass upon it at the last election
Enact this measure and each mem
Der will continue to do most of his
work as now, while he will certify
the pay to dependent member of
his family, and thus practically add
500 month to his own salary while
Congress is in session.
Mr.. Boatner. Will the gentleman
yield?
Mr.. Tillman. No, sir; have not
the time. The Republican party,
through what was known as the
''Butler salary grab," added $4,000
annually to the compensation of
Congressman. With the long session
lasting about nine months and the
short one three, $1,000, or, we may
say in round numbers, just one
fourth of the Butler grabs now
proposed to be added indirectly to
our salaries. Pass this resolution,
gentlemen, to give yourselves clerks,
and to thereby Indirectly to your
salaries; vote yourselves the clerks !;
and as sure as God is in heaven,
many of you will not need them long.
Laughter and applause.

Carroll County Alive.

I am glad to tell you that there
is one man in Carroll county who
has laid aside party name and is
strongly and ardentlY advocating the
pure and undefled principles OF JEFF
fersonlan Democracy. Yea, there
are one thousand men in old Caraoll
who have shown beyond reasonable
doubt that an empty name is nothing
compared with the Peoples party
principles advocated by T. E. Wat
son and thousands of other good,
honest men all over this broad land.
The dear old Democratic party is
in power. What may we expect
from them? Of course, they have
promised a great many things, but
can we expect them to redeem those
promises?
On the thirty-seoond day of the
thirteenth month of the eighth day
of the week and on the twenty-ffth
hour of the sixty-frst minute we'll
find all things we seek through the
Democratic party. OF course we
don't expect them to do anything for
the poor oppressed people. They
have already demonstrated to us
what they'll do for us years ago.
The way in which Watson has been
treated shows the composition of the
Democratic party, and what we may
expect from party that's composed
of such material as that.

A FRENCH CRISIS.

The French have escaped another
crisis. By narrow majority the
Chamber of Deputies voted Tuesday
that it had confidence in the Ministry.
The exact vote reported was 297 to
227. Had the majority been re-
versed, the Ministry would have re-
signed, the editors of differing views
would have challenged each other,
the crisis would have assumed charge
and somebody else would have been
Ministers.
Wouldn't it be a fine scheme to
have a vote occasionally on the ques-
ton, does the Government of this
country merit confidence? 1t might
be peculiarly interesting to have such
vote put in the present House after
it shall meet next December. About
that time the distribution Of brlbes
in the way Of patronage will be over.
The crisis in France was brought
about by the testimony of witnesses
in the Panama Canal matter on
Saturday, who gave testimony impli-
eating Mr.. Bourgeois, minister OF
Justice. The minister resigned Mon
day, went before the commission
taking testimony, and denied every
thing charged. From the court he
went to the Assembly and was
present when the vote was cast.
Of course that settled it. The
chamber has confidence in what's
left of the ministry, and there is no
longer a crisis. Others may be on
tap, however.

A Famous Club Run by a Weman.

Many years ago Boobies club in st.
James street was one Of the leading in
situations in clubland. Some years since
an unfortunate dispute led. to very
large number of the members resigning,
and thenceforth Boobies sank very CONF
siderably in Importance. Mr.. @. Gay
ner, the proprietor, died suddenly Of
heart disease on Wednesday morning.
A notice has now been placed in the
clubrooms announcing that Miss Gay
ner, a sister of the late proprietor, will
carry on the concern, certainly to the
end of the term, and it is understood
that by his will the late Mr.. Gayner has
desired that this lady should continue to
control it indefinitely. I understand
that we'll known member Of society is
to assume the appointment of manager

A Misft Cabinet.
National Waterman,

National Waterman,
The makeup of President Cleve-
lands cabinet Is a surprise to every
one and a bitter disappointment to
the leading men in the Democratic
party. While this misfit absurdity
is to a certain extent lost in curiosity,
and the folly Of such selection is
somewhat neutralized in astonish-
ment, the wonder continues to grow
as to how such a perfect conglom-
Grafton of characterless, unknown
and unprepared individuals could be
gathered into into one executive
family. just how this aggregation
of non-descripts were selected will
doubtless forever remain mystery.
1t is said, however, that Mr.. Cleve-
land during the past four years has
had sack hanging near by his desk,
and whenever any one did him a
personal favor or to whom he took a
fancy, he would write his name on
a slip of paper and throw it into the
SACK. w men he Cau0 10 SGI6CG LIS
political family he simply shook up
the sack and drew out the required
number of names. The character
of his cabinet seems to justify such a
statement. Mr.. Carlisle has never
been charged with being a fnancier,
and his position to-day on that ques-
ton is gross libel upon his past
record. The idea that Mr.. Gresham
is statesman and diplomat is all
silly bosh. He is fairly good judge
with consuming fire of political
ambition, and will be used as a de-
Tense against the rising tide of the
reform element on account of his
fancied following in the ranks OF
organized labor. Dan Lamont was
an office boy and can make himself
extremely handy about the house
while Mr.. Bissell is an old law part
ner with nothing to recommend save
a sort of old cumming relation

CHEROKEE STRIP EXv
Fears that the CherOkees May Not
Agree to the Congressional Bill.


Agree to the Congressional Bill.
GUTHRIE, OK, March 13.-The
Cherokee Strip agitators have just
discovered that, should the Cherokee
Senate decide not to accept the terms
of the Strip bill passed by Congress,
the Strip cannot be opened by the
President. This has caused a great
commotion among them and a dele
cation will at once go to Tahlequab
to work with the Indian Council.
For several days a number of men
who have had cattle on the Strip for
years have been in conference here,
and, it is believed, are planning to
defeat the ratification of the bill by
the Cherokees and thus secure the
Strip for pasturage for another term
of years. There is considerable ex-
element over the matter, and boom
ers declare that should the bill be
rejected by the Indians they will
move on the Strip in a body and
stay there to shoot every steer
brought in.

HOW THE RULE WORKS.

The rule announced by Mr.. Cleve-
land is illustrated in the following
incident reported in the newspapers
Judge Durham, of Kentucky, who
held than Office under the former
Cleveland administration, called at
the White House to-day and was
cordially greeted by Mr.. Cleveland.
Judge Durham notified the President
that he would be an applicant for his
old office as Comptroller, and ex-
planned that he had keen in the news
papeTs that those who held office
under the former administration were
barred this time. To Mr.. Cleveland
Mr.. Durham said:
CT think, having discharged the
duties of my Office SO satisfactorily
before, yon might make an exception
in nv case" Mr.. Cleveland very
bluntly said
"There will be no exception, Judge.
If I could make an exception at all, !
would make it in your case, because
you made a good officer, but there
will be no exceptions to the rule"
Then Durham asked if the holding
Of a particular office under the for
mer administration would bar man
from being appointed to a different
office this time.
Mr.. Cleveland said it would, and
so Judge Durham, it is UNDERSTOOD,
secured tickets for Kentucky and left
tO-nioht.

POLK COUNTY SENTIMEN
A Progressive Grand Jury Res
by the judge
CEDARTowN, GA, March

CEDARTowN, GA, March -
Our Superior Court has just Z d
two weeks session. The he
grand jury served through the 70
weeks. | have not seen the pre- ht-
ments, but learn through one of the
jury that they recommended the alb
clifton of the present convict system,
and also the adoption of the Austria
liam ballot. Judge G. G. James, find
ing by some means before the pre-
sentiments were read that the jury
had thus recommended, ordered both
stricken from the minutes.
The foreman, Col. III. A. Wright,
refused to strike them under the
Judges order, but said if the mem
bers of the body said strike of course
he would do so, otherwise he would
not. When the question Of recon-
mendation was put to vote, seven
teen of the twenty three voted for
them. When the question, under
the Judges order for striking was
put, it was agreed to strike by a
small majority The question is, had
the Judge right to order any part
of the minutes stricken? Who is
the supreme power of Superior
Court-the Judge or the Grand
Jury? I think both of the recon-
mendations are timely.
We need reform and [ am glad to
know that seventeen out of twenty
three men, taken at random as 1t
were in our county, have the courage
to recommend this much needed re-
form. The true Populists OF our
section are quite numerous, but a few
who joined for " revenue only" have
gone back to their former Democ-
racy. A very important question
here presents itself to my mind: Is
the Democratic party Democratic?

First POpulist Law.

National Waterman.
The first purely and distinctive
Populist measure became a law under
the postofice appropriations. Hon.
Tom Watson forced an amendment
on to that appropriation bill which
granted $4,000 as a fund for exper-
imenting in free rural postal deliv-
cry. This will not be attempted in
villages or cross-road towns, but
among farmers absolute. Mr.. Wat
son thinks this experiment will de-
ve1op into general free delivery
among the agricultural portion of the
country, AS it now stands, the
farmers help pay for delivery of mail
in cities from three to ten times
each day. Is it any more than fair
that the farmer should have chance
at some of those favors? Mr.. Wat
son thinks it is not, and hence this
experiment.

apartments, and ghout making In
quIries as to Arton's Whereabouts or
further proceedings returned to
France. The mission of the police
was purely perfunctory, intended
merely to impress the people of
France with the idea that the Gov
eminent was straining every nerve
to probe the scandal. After such an
exhibition of indifference most per-
sons in Paris and other European
capitals believe that all chance of
full exposure is past and the Panama
incident may be regarded as closed.
In Germany the Social Democrats
are making final efforts to defeat the
army bill. Meetings to protest
against the bill will be held in all
the large cities and towns tomorrow
and the Social Democratic press has
been ordered by the Central Com
mittee in Berlin to unite next week
in violent attack upon the measure.
The prospect is that, unless the Gov
eminent accepts the National Lib
eral compromise granting $4,000
men instead of $4,000 demanded, it.
will be obliged to dissolve the Reich
stag and appeal to the country.

Quite Frenchy News from Europe.

In Paris the Panama scandal has
reached the point where all depends
upon the arrest of Arton, the princi-
pal lobbyist employed by the Panama
Canal people. The aversion of the
Government to capturing man who
possesses such damaging evidence of
the bribery of the 104 Deputies has
been revealed IN stronger light by
the publication Of the story of his
life in Bucharest while the Paris
police were supposed to be doing
their utmost to catch him.
ARToN PLAYING THE PRINCE.
The first evening after his arrival
in Bucharest, Arton passed at a
music hall, where he became &C.
quainted with Miss Lilli Merz, the
principal song and dance artist of the
resort. He introduced himself as a
German Prince travelling incognito,
and threw money about SO lavishly
that he at once obtained her favor.
The next day he placed her in ele-
CANT apartments, then bought her a
carriage and pair, and subsequently
drove with her daily in public parks.
Three days after his arrival he was
the most conspicuous civilian in the
Roumanian capital, and his enor-
nous expenditure Of money and his
success with Miss Merz was the sub
ject of gossip in all the clubs. He
made no effort to disguise himself,
but wore the same closely cropped
beard and the same striking gar
ments which he had affected in
Paris. The Bucharest police were
so sure Of his identity that they at
once telegraphed a description of
him to Paris and directed to him the
attention of the French embassy, but
they received no answer from either
source. Arton monopolized the at
tention of the gay world for three
weeks, spent 10000 francs on Miss
Merz, and then left, to return,I he
said, on March 1. Upon leaving he
