THE LEGISLATIVE SITUATION.

In a former issue, tho TRIBUNE
made known its individual preference
for Senator, and since then thirteen
caucuses (electing twenty-six dele
gates to the county conyention) have
been held. OF these delegates
twenty-one are in favor of Edwin j
Jones and five in favor of VIM. 9.
Bicknell. Five caucuses are still to
be held, having total delegation OF
fifteen; and it is, we may add, but
fair to presume that Mr.. Jones, hay-
ing already secured majority OF the
convention, that the future caucuses
will be held without division on the
senatorial issue.
The contest has been one of the
sharpest, and at the same time by all
odds the most friendly that has taken
place within the county for several
years, the caucuses held having been
all noticed in both county papers and
an unprecedented turn out of voters
having occurred at every primary,
Rendsville leading with forty-six vot-
ers. In every primary held a very
large majority of the Repbliucan vot-
ers of that precinct actively partiei-
pated in the deliberations; and the
result in every instance was an
nounced without bolt or any disor-
ganizing incident of any kind.
1t was conceded that the winner
would find friend in every friendly
foe, as soon as the majority should
decide; and it is no small compliment
to the two gentlemen who were seek
convention honors to know, now that
the contest is in reality over, that the
contest was so wisely conducted that
neither can find fault with the course
pursued by the other.
From the exchanges and firm inter
views with prominent party leaders
all over the district, the good faith,
promised, viz: to give Stevens the
senatorship, seems to be strictly OBJ
served, and there are no candidates
other than our own for that Office.
Let the convention wisely choose two
representatives with due regard for
strength, residence, vocation and gen
eral qualification, and the ticket will
carry every county in the 49th dis
trict.

Through the industrial smoke and
the political fog Of a troublous and
indecisive month, there shines in the
Western sky the bright radiance o.
one splendid memorable event. The
general railroad situation had SCENE /
to compel the Great Northern system
to cut down wages and otherwise to
put it's men upon hard-times basis
The result was strike that practi
cally paralyzed traffic on several
thousand miles of railway lines. The
Great Northern system ramifes Mir
nesota and the Dakotas, and extends
across Montana to the Pacific Coast.
It's headquarters are St. Paul, and its
main Eastern traffic terminals are at
Duluth and Minneapolis. The strike
was not only a disastrous thing for
the road and for the workmen, but it
was costly and exasperating infic
ton upon the many cities and towns
whose trade was tied up Under these
circumstances, the business men Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul determined
upon intervention. Their good Of
ices were accepted by both parties in
the controversy, and their decision,
after a careful hearing, was accepted
as basis for immediate adjustment.
of all differences. The incident re-
Fl ects great credit upon the COOL sens,
and good faith of all who were con-
cerned, and it bears new witness to
the character and intelligence that
have placed the stamp of superiority
upon the Twin Cities Of the North
west. President James>J. Hill of the
Great Northern system, moreover has
set an example that wholly confirms
the good opinion of him which al
raady prevailed. He showed himself
magnanimous, just and strong in his
acceptance of the plan of arbitration
and in his consent to verdict that
was largely favorable to the claims Of
the strikers. In the added loyalty of
the employees, and in the strong ap-
prevail of the public, Mr.. FILL and his
corporation will soon gain far more
than they might for the moment seem
to have lost by submitting to arbicra-
tion.-F From The Progress of the

A wop,aD,s Name.

1t is said that the practice Of the
wife's assuming the husbands name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom and became common after
the Roman occupation. Thus Julia
and Octavia, married to Pompey and
Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia Of Pompey and Oetavia of Cic-
ero, and in later times married wom-
en- in most European countries signed
their names in the same manner, but
omitted the 'sof. 4"
Again this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth and even
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury the usage seems doubtful, since
we see Catherine Parrso signing her
self after she had been twice mar
ried, and we always hear Of Lady
Jane Grey mot Dudley and Arabella
Stewart mot SEYMOUR. Some per-
sons think that the custom originated
from the Scriptural teaching that
husband and wife are one. 1t was
decided in the case of Bon versus
Smith in the reign of Elizabeth that
a woman by marriage loses her for
mer name and legally receives that Of
her husband. Dublin Times.

A Rido That Proved Quite Expensive For

Tricky Stage Driver.
DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, the well
known scientist of Philadelphia, tells
an amusing story of q scene witness
ed i'll New York one day while riding
in q Fifth avenue stage. "A lady
gave the driver coin, said DR.. Dix.
on, "and received change for a quar-
ter. She informed the driver that
she had given him half dollar, but
the Jehu wouldn't have it that way,
and the woman had simply to lose %
cents.
"A moment or two later, however,
q well dressed, highly respectable
looking male passenger, with a rath-
er pallid face and a physique by no
means athletic looking, rendered the
lady quarter and said he had seen
the whole transaction and knew she
was being swindled. III getit back,
said he. You take it. After some
persuasion the woman was induced
to take the money, and shortly after

produced the cash left the bus. When
we arrived at the end of the line, the
stranger walked up to the driver,
and in courteous but firm tones said:
i saw that lady give you half dol
lar. / gave her the quarter, and /
want you to give it to me.
IA volley of oaths was the only an
swer. which, however, was cut short
by well directed blow from the fist
of the passenger, and the driver went
down. He got up with another shower
Of profanity and made for his assail-
ant, but promptly went down again,
the blow this time landing fun on
his jaw. When the driver got up the
second time, he gave up the quarter.
But the passenger wasn't through
yet. I've split my gloves on your
face, he said, and I want $3.50 to
buy a new pair Refusal brought
another punch, and again the driver
measured his length. He didn t want

CHEERS FOR GENERAL LEE.
a Demonstration of Affection That Touched
the Confederate Leaders Heart.

a Demonstration of Affection That Touched
the Confederate Leaders Heart.
General Robert e. Lee once told
me of an ovation he received that
touched him more than any demon
stration ever made in his honor, said
the venerable Judge White Of Vir-
ginia. Following closely on the sur
render of the southern army the com
mander in chief of the confederacy
went to pass a season at the home of
his particular friend, E. r. Cooke.
After a few weeks of the most hos
pitable and elegant entertainment
General Lee was called to the presi-
dency of the Washington and Lee
university.
Bidding his kind friends adieu, he
started for Lexington on horseback
and alone. He had gone some miles
and was passing through a rather
dreary stretch of wooded country
when he espied plain old country
man mounted on a sorry nag coming
toward him. AS they passed each
other both bowed, as is the fashion
when strangers meet in out Of the

homespun suit stared hard at the sol
dierly figure as though not quite Ger
tain of recognition. He went his way
q little farther, then turning his
horse around cantered back and soon
came up with the general again.
" I beg pardon, sir, but is not this
General Robert Lee@
" Yes, / am General Lee. Did |
ever meet you before, my friend!'
Then the old Confederate grasped
the chieftain's hand, and with the
tears streaming down his face said,
General Lee, do you mind if cheer
your The general assured him that
he didn't mind, and there, on that
lonesome, pine bordered highway,
with no one else in sight, the old
rebel veteran, with swinging hat,
lifted up his voice in three ringing
rounds Of hurrahs for the man that
the southland idolized. Then both

The following little piece of irony
by eli Perkins" in an interview with
a reporter at Los Angeles contains
more truth than poetry: "The fact
is, we Democrats have so lost all sym
pathy by destroying wages, stopping
mills and by our unpatriotic stupidity
in killing white republic, wiping
out the Monroe doctrine, pulling
down our own stars and stripes and
putting up the ensign Of a negress
monarch in its place we have so
outraged the American spirit in the
people that it will be thirty years be
fore the people will trust our
old free-trade, merchandising,
pens:on-killing, and wage lowering
party again. All We have done is to
fill the poor houses, pub down our
own flag, grind the no-es of our
workman and fill the country with
Coxey tramps."

Learned writers have often tried to
prove that Shakespeare was of all
trades and many nationalities, but so
farno one has treated of his acquaint-
ance with Ireland. However, a very
interesting little book has been pub
ished by Mr.. David Comyn Of Dub
lin, which, though it does notattempt
to prove Shakespeare a Celt, illus
trates once again the universally Of
his genius. Interesting details are
given about the Irish references in
Shakespeare, and the author, who is
a distinguished Gaelic scholar, dis
cusses illusions in the plays to Irish
matters beyond the knowledge of the

Implements OF Warfare.

There is a story of a privateer's
crew of 40 to so men capturing a
Turkish galley with 500 seamen and
soldiers on board by means of a
swarm of bees judiciously thrown
among the unspeakable ones. How
ever this may be, there are enough
authentic instances of strange meth
DDS of attack to provide amply sufi-
Gent material for the casuist in de
Gliding what is fair and what unfair
in war.
Burning naphtha, boiling lead, birds,
carcases of men and horses, Chinese
stinkpots, besides the implements al
ready mentioned, have all been used
for offensive or defensive purposes in
actual warfare. And what with our
modern systems of dazzling by cleo
trio light, submarine attacks, flying
machines and elaborate lethal APP
paratl1s, it seems not improbable that
we are on the eve of resorting to
some of the more fanciful methods of
eastern warfare, which so or LOG
years ago would most distinctly have
been regarded as SO many attempts
to hit below the belt. Saturday Re
