HowyHiLLEs yoLE rHErlsENATE.

The nomination of David B. Hill for
Governor of New York puts again be-
fore the people of that State the issue of
the theft of the State Senate after the
election of 1891. That issue was pre-
sented last year by the nomination of
Judge Maynard to the Court of Appeals,
and the people gave their verdict by a
plurality of 101, 1904 against him. This
in spite of the fact that the State had
been carried by the Democrats the year
before by a plurality of 45,518. But
Judge Maynard was only one of the mi
nor partners in the conspiracy. The
man chiefly responsible for the crime
was Senator Hill, at that time Governor,
and how candidate for the same office,
The election in New York IN 1891 was
so close as regards the legislative results
that the control of the Senate turned up
on a single vote. How that vote was
stolen, and with it the Senate, has been
told often in the newspapers and in the
courts. The leading facts may be brief
ly outlined. When the Duchess coun-
ty canvassers met to canvass the returns,
acting under the direction of the Demo
cratic bosses, they threw out enough
Republican votes to give the Senatorial
seat to Democrat. This fraudulent re-
turn was known as the Mylod certificate.
The courts were appealed to, to correct
this fraud, and the special term of the
Supreme Court issued an order which
was confirmed by the general term and
the Court of Appeals, requiring the
Duchess county board to make true
and corrected return.
This was done, and the clerk of the
board, in compliance with the law, mail
ed copies of this true return to the Gov
ernor and to the members of the State
Board of Canvassers. The clerk then
hurried to Albany, and had a confer
ence with Hill, who directed him to see
Maynard. The latter accompanied the
clerk to the Capitol, where the letters
containing the true return were by them
distracted from the mailbag before
they had reached the officials to whom
they were addressed. When the State
Board of Canvassers met, they were
served with copies of the legal and valid
return from Duchess county. They
knew that the Supreme Court had or
dered the rejection of the Mylod certifi-,
cate and the counting of the true return,
yet on the pretext that the latter was
not before them, and in direct violation
of the orders of the Court, they counted
the Mylod return and seated the Demo
crat, who had been defeated at the polls.
With this seat secured, the Democrats
gained possession of the Senate and, by
unseating other Republicans, were able
to elect Gov Hill to the Senate. Thus
the chief partner in the crime entered
into the enjoyment of it's fruits. Now
he is presented to the people as candi.
date for the same Office which he used
before to perpetuate this gigantic fraud
upon the ballot. 1t viii! argue the pos
session of short memories or inactive
consciences if they do not take this OPP
portunity to punish the defiant criminal

The English Royal Plate.

The royal plate at Windsor is generally
reckoned to be worth about go, 900, 600,
and it is no unusual thing at state ban
quet at the castle to have plate to the val
ne of $500, 900 in the room. There are two
state dinner services, one Of gold and ono
Of silver. The gold service was purchased
by George ~ and will dine 1870 persons.
The plates alone of this service cost over
$4,000. On state occasions there are usu-
ally placed on the dining table some very
beautiful gold flagons captured from the
Spanish armada, which are now, of
course, Of priceless value, while the great
silver wine cooler, made by Rundell &
Bridge for George ~ and weighing 1000
ounces, always adorns one corner of the
apartment AS sideboard ornaments there
are pretty trifles in the way of peacock
of precious stones, valued at ESQ, 900, and
a tigers head from India, with q solid in
got Of gold for its tongue and diamond
teeth.
This wonderful collection of plate is
crown property, which practically means
that it belongs to the country, and tho
queen has separate collections for use at
Balmoral and at Osborne, which belong to
berself.-London Letter.

When the Democratic majority in a
State like Georgia shrivels to a paltry
10000 or 3d. 900, the blindest Democratic
politician ought to be able to see that
even the solid South is discovering the
humbug of Calhounism.
The Ohio Democrats, it will be no.
ticed, have abandoned the tariff issue al
together, and propose to make their cam
paign on free silver only. They will not
save themselves from over whelming de-
feat by this expedient, but their resort
to it shows how desperate is their con-
dition.
"A year ago in the local elections the
Republicans carried SO of 1874 Connect
cut towns, while 80 were Democratic and
20 divided. This year the Republicans
carry 100 and the Democrats only 20,
while 81 are divided. This is net Re-
publican gain of %, or more than one
fourth. A similar increase next month
will give the Republicans the State by a
handsome majority.
louisville now has second cause
for rejoicing. Having got rid of Brock
inridge it has now discovered that for
six months there will be no conglomer-
alton of men travelling around the coun-
try losing ball games in the name of
Louisville, KY, and it is over-glad.

Hand Organ Monkeys.

Most of the monkeys that travel with
shows and organ grinders come from the
isthmus Of Panama. These animals are
captured by the natives in rather curious
way. They take a cocoanut and cut hole
in it large enough to admit a monkeys
paw. A string is then attached to the
nut. The monkey is very inquisitive lit
tie animal, and when he sees one of these
nuts he inserts his paw through the hole
to find out what is inside. When the paw is
closed, it cannot be withdrawn, and as the
monkey has not sense enough to open his
paw the nut is dragged by the string and
the monkey with it to within reach Of the
captors, who throw net over the monkey,
and in that way secure him.-St. Louis
Glohe-D Democrat.

For One Legged Cvclists.

One of the latest novelties in cycles is a
safety bicycle which is claimed to be spe-
cially suitable for one legged cyclists. The
special feature Of the machine is that it
may be propelled either entirely by the
hand or in conjunction with pedal driv-
ing. Instead of the usual handle bar, this
is bent round so far as to run the two
handles into one, and this handle has an
up and down motion, which, by means
Of cranks, causes a toothed wheel fixed
about half way between the handle bar
and the axle of the front wheel to revolve
The front wheel is consequently driven by
means &C q chain running round the tooth
wheel and one fixed on the hub of the
front wheel similar to that on the hind
wheel Of an ordinary safety.-House Fur

Destructive Quality.

The extraordinary shattering and de-
structive effect of the modern small bore
and hard cased rifle bullet is illustrated by
the result of some experiments recently
carried out at Zwickau, when 10 soldiers
of Saxon infantry were ordered to fire vol
leys from distance of 300 meters at a
brick wall about ~ meters high and
about 40 centimeters thick. After the
ninth volley the wall was simply shat
tered heap of ruins.-New York Post

The Great siberian, hallway.

The Siberian railway, one of the great
est enterprises of the century. must at
tract attention by reason of the import
ant commercial, political and strategic
objects it is designed to serve. In length
it will exceed by more than one-ffth the
length of our transcontinental lines from
New York to San Francisco. Besides
connecting VladivOstok, its eastern ter
minus on the Pacific. and Moscow, dis
tant $500 miles, it will reach ports on the
Black Sea, the Caspian and the Baltic.
At present the English for the most part
carry on the commerce of China, Japan
and India with Europe, but the new rail-
way will, it is hoped, largely alter the
route of this commerce and make the
Russians its benefciaries. In twelve or
thirteen days it will carry goods from the
Baltic to Vladivostok, as against the six
or eight weeks now required. The tea
and silks of China would go west via the
Siberian railway rather than by way of
the Suez canal or around the cape. The
railway will moreover vitalize the re-
sources of vast regions now torpid for
want of communications.
The empire is wanting in arteries of
commerce. 1t has but 1900 miles of rail-
road. Its .navigable streams are numer-
Gus. but by reason of extremes of heat
and cold they are navigable, as rule,
only in the spring and autumn. The
Black sea may be blocked by Turkey or
England. The rivers of Siberia empty
ing into the Arctic Ocean are practically
of no value tor transportation except in
their upper courses and for part of the
year. The isolation of vast areas of ST.
IBERIA practically destroys their great
value for purposes of agriculture and
mining. With better means of commune
cation population would in Russia flow
east, just as in the United States the con-
struciion of our transcontinental lines
caused it TO flow west. The natural re-
sources are there; accessibility will bring
them speedy development. Already the
annual product of gold and silver in ST.
IBERIA is very large, though its production
is made expensive from want of modern
means OF transportation. but with the
building of the siberian railway the pro-
duet will probably be much increased.
The wealth Of the region TO be trayersed
in iron, coal, salt and precious stones is
well known.-Baltimore Sun.
