he Had a FELLOW Feeling.

In spite of the fact that there are gener-
ally some hundreds OF applicants for each
office in the gift of an incoming admins
tvation, occasionally some officeholder be-
his abilities are of such a transcendent ma
ture as to make him absolutely indiSpen-
sable to the workings of his particular
department., and that if anything should
away by some bosom of destruction
should become unable to attend to their
duties, he could carry on the affairs of
the nation. Such a character, says Kate
Fields Washington, was an old watch
man who used to keen guard in the de
son administration. From Ions assOcia-
ton with the legal lights in the building
he believed he had imbibed a fair share
of learning in the law and SO when one
tOrneY general came after hours he had
no hesitaney in opening it and reading it's
message. 1t asked the question:
rs a man to be held responsible for a
crime committed while under the influence
of hquor2'
The Waterman pondered over this mes
sage for some time, and the more he
pondered the more convinced he became
that the case was urgent and that if inn
mediate action We're not taken the life
of some fellow creature would be placed
in jeopardy. He was abundantly able
to sympathize with the unfortunate, as
he knew what the influence of liquor was
and he had no doubt the law of the land
would say he was not responsible. Con-
se0uently he sent the lacOniC answer:
mo, indeed John Jones, in charge of
Department of Justice
OF course there was an immediate at
tack on the attorney general for such a
decision. and the matter came to the ears
made and the Waterman suspended for
three months. .....

both commeudaLle and unique. but
i'm this instance it is not so gratifying
as 1t might be- For the democratic rep
reseutation in the forthcoming Michigan
legislature will consist of Representative

1ir. Donovan is the solitary democrat

Lansing. in political sense; but in a lit
cral sense he viii not be lonesome at all.
He is going TO have all the fun that he
can while at the capital. Speaking on
the subject the other day he said: II don't
believe viii have much trouble in shaping
the policy of the minority in the House,
and won't call any party caucuses to
devise fHbustering methods to worry my
opponents" He viii, however, caucus with
himself on the senatorship, and select
a candidate to be presented by the demo-
cratic party. When John Donovan the
caucus has decided upon the candidate,

Gus win report to John Donovan, the
democratic leader in the House, who
win put the candidate in nomination.
John Donovan of Bay county will second
the nomination, and John Donovan. the
democratic minority, will cast the vote
of the delegation for the caucus nominee.
MI Donovan serves notice on the re-
publican majority that he does not pro-
pose to be made the Ii Hung Chang of the
session. If the majority make mistakes
they shall not place the burden upon his
shoulders by saying that he blocked
legislation with hlibustering and quorum
breaking absenteeism. And furthermore,
he proposes to appoint himself a commit
tee to watch the majority. II they at
tempt any queer tricks he win bring in
a unanimous report exposing them.

cratic minority in the Michigan House,

Passes and LEGISLATORS.

After Jan. l no railroad in New York
viii dare to issue a free pass 10 a public
official and no public official viii dare to
accept a free pass. That has been set
tied by the adoption Of the constitutional
amendments that were submitted to the
people at the last election.
It would be a great thing in this state
if the legislature had the courage to put
a stop to the issuing Of free railroad
passes to Legislators and other public
officials. y good deal of the time of the
legislators. for which the people pay. is
now spent elsewhere than in the halls
of legislation. during the time the lcgis-
lature is in session.
As long as it costs a legislator moth
ing to go to and fro between his home and
Atlanta he is likely to spend a good part
Of his time away from his duties But
that is not the only evil that flows from
free railroad passes. a legislator, with a
free pass in his pocket can not deal justly
with the railroads in matters that
require legislative action. He is
anxious either to do too much
for the railroads or too little If
too much, he is apt to sacrifice the public
interests, and if too little, being afraid he
viii be accused of being bought by the
railroads, he will do the railroads in
Justice.
Legislators have no claim whatever on
the railroads, and hence are not entitled
to free passes. There is not one salts
factory reason for demanding or accept
ing them. That the effect of them is de
moralizing there is no doubt Why is it.
therefore, that legislators do not want
laws that put an end to the free pass
evil? Is it because they desire to save
a few dollars by letting the railroads
carry them free? It certainly looks so,
and if it is so, it is pity that great pub
lie interests are committed to men who
are capable of doing such small things.

Spoiled Postage Stamps.

The government is taking a costly les
son in economy, and learning something
about the making of postage stamps.
From the indications it appears that 20
100000, more or less, Of defective stamps
viii be returned to the bureau of ensrav-
ing and printing, to he destroyed
and replaced by better grade
of stamps. The cost at cents
per thousand, amounts to quite a
snug sum of money, and which the gov
eminent viii have to pay as the price
of an in-advsed attempt at economy in
one of its departments
Heretofore the printing of postage
stamps has been done by a private firm,
which had achieved success in making
stamps that were artistically and practi-
cally satisfactory. Some months ago the
director of the bureau of engraving and
printing conceived the idea of doing the
work at the bureau and saving the gov
eminent the profit the private corpora
ton made on the work. The bureau put
in bid for the postage stamp contract at
a price very much below that charged
by the private corporation. The Post
master General, after satisfying himself
that the bureau was properly equipped
for stampmaking. awarded it the con-
tract at cents per thousand
A few weeks ago the distribution of the
new stamps began. And almost at once
complaints about them began to pour in
to the postofice department from the
postmasters. They said the stamps would
not adhere that the ink on them would
rub off and blur, that with changes of
the temperature the stamps would curl
that when handled in dry weather they
would crack wherever a wrinkle had oc-
Cured in the curling, and that in wet wea-
Their they were sticky. So numerous be-
came the complaints that the Postmaster
General issued orders to all postmasters
who had made complaints to return the
stamps to the department, and for some
days past the mails have been burdened
with the load of returning stamps.
1t seems that the trouble was in the
fact that the bureau of engraving and
printing officials knew too much" about
stamp-making. They used an inferior
quality of paper because it cost less, when
they knew that a special paper was needed
| for postage stamps just as a spe-
cial paper is needed for paper
| currency. They used inferior mu-
! cilage and inferior ink for the same
reason; and made botch of the job They
I tried to be too economical Their econ
/ omy' will probably cost the government
! $4,000 or $2O.OOO-more than will be saved
on the contract. This failure, however
may have the effect of making the bureau
| officials more careful in future and caus,
ing them to bring future issues Of stamps
/ up to the standard.

Experimenting with Death.


Whether or not the currents of electrici-
ty sent through the bodies of condemned
murderers in New York state have been
the causes of their DEATH or whether the
real work of execution was performed by
the surgeons with their knives at the
autopsies, is a question that has been dis
cussed almost ever since the electrical APP
paratus supplanted the galows in that
state Recently the matter has taken on
new interest because of the assertions of
an eminent French scientist, NJ. D'Arson-
VILE and others that the effect of the
electrical shock is simply suspended ami
nation, and that If artificial respiration be
promptly resorted to the subject can be
revived and the declaration of Or. Gibbons
of Syracuse, N. Y, that he has perfected
an apparatus with which a person who
has suffered death" in the electrical chair
can be restored to life and health within
short while and probably be none the
worse for the shock
DR.. Gibbons has been, and is, very anx-
= ious to try the efficacy Of his apparatus
upon the next condemned murderer
"electrocuted" in the state. Charles Will
son, a murderer, is under sentence to die
in the chair at Auburn. Wilson has con-
scented that the experiment of rcsuscita-
ton shall be tried upon him, with the I'M
Outstanding that if it proves successful the
governor will extend executive cIemency
to him. And it is reported that Gov
Flower has given conditional consent to
the experiment; to do so if it be in his
power under the law. He is anxious to
have the long-standlng controversy set
tied once and for all time, and may
strain a point in order to permit of the
test. 1t may be, therefore, that it will
soon be decided whether the surgeons or
the electrical machines have been per-
forming capital punishment for the state
DR.. Gibbons who will make the test if il
is made, claims to have partially resuscita-
ted murderer johnson after his electrocu-
ton at Auburn, when he was pcrempto-
rily ordered by the warden OF the prison to
desst, and the body was sent to the autop-
sy table. Thomas A, Edison is quoted as
holding the opinion that electrical execu-
tons are largely guess work and that they
fail to kill oftener than they succeed

Contests in the House.
From Louisville Courier journal. Dem).

1t is known that the INSCRIPTIONS
manner in which democrats were un-
seated by the Fifty-first congress had
much to do with the overthrow of the re-
publicanS at the elections of 1890. Recol-
lectiOns of this may have some influence
on the committee of elections of the, next
house, and on the house itself. There
will at least be presented an opportunity
to judge whether a republican house is
willing to DO right in cases where there
is small temptation to do wrong, or
whether it prefers to do wrong simply
from innate perversity and partisanshp.
