Tennessee and Alabama held
State elections last week, and both
States gave largely increased Dem
ocratic majorities, and both elected
Democratic Legislatures. The Re-
publicans and Populists fused in
both of these States, but they were
routed by the Democratic hosts.
This fall West Virginia will show
that she is Democratic, too, by cleo
ting four Democratic members
of Congress, and a Democratic
Legislature, which will send Dem
ocrat to the U. S. Senate.

NO PoRT1As WANTED IN JERSEY.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has re-
fused to admit a woman to the Bar. 1t
holds that the Legislature has not yet
accorded the fair sex the right to prac-
tise law. and until woman has citizen
ship in all its resplendent meaning be-
slowed upon her she cannot sail into
court with a music roll under her arm
and a bandbox in her hand and tell
the judge on the bench what the law OF
the State is or ought to be.
Those Jersey Supreme Judges are real
mean about this. They accept the mar
row measly Massachusetts definition of
the word Citizen" which excludes
woman from taking part In the Govern
ment, "either as voter or an officer to
be admitted to practice as an attorney"
Woman Is pretty good citizen all the
same. and she should require no more
legislation to make her a lawyer than
she does to make her a housewife or a
typewriter.
The Jersey Judges evidently are not
friends of the sex. 1t ought not to make
any difference whether the hair over a
repository OF legal lore is parted in the
| middle or on the side. woman who
knows law is as good as a man VINO
knows 1t. and her smile. II she is at all

Diainfectpnts.

One OF the commonest household dis
infectants is probably that sold under
the name OF crude carbolic acid, which
consists of a mixture of pure carbolic
and cresylic acids, and is of reddish
brown color. Its strong tar-like odor
renders II a not disagreeable deodorant,
but its solubility in ordinary water,
which is in inverse ratio TO the amount
OF cresylic acid present, is. in a sense.
a considerable drawback; It mixes. how
ever, much more freely with hot water,
and for all practical purposes the solu-
ton thus produced is sufficiently useful.
Patients in some cases object to the
smell. and in these instances some other
disinfectant Is, OF course, to be resorted
to, but this is not the fact with the
majority. while its inexpensiveness rem
dsrs It acceptable In public institutions.

WHAT WILL THEY DO ABOUT IT.

The voting on the sugar schedule In
the Senate yesterday drew out some OBJ
servations calculated to throw light on
the manner In which the Senators them
selves look upon the action of their own
body on that feature of the Tariff bill.
Mr.. Chandler, who probably knows
more about speculative legislation than
any other member OF either House. made
the direct charge that Senators have
speculated In Sugar stock. II believe

and declared that the sugar schedule
had been dictated by the Trust; that 1t
was as acceptable to the Trust as the
Mckinley bill. and that nobody knew
that fact better than Mr.. Vest himself.

marks and the schedule was fnnily
adopted by vote of - to 2S Senator
Hill voted with the Republicans against
the schedule, while Senator Murphy voted
with his party.
1t was a painful spectacle To see the
Republican Senators. who have been at
once the creators and the creatures OF
the Sugar Trust, railing at Democrats Tor
their alleged dealings and chickering's
with that powerful combine and voting
against what they avowed to he the
interests of the monopoly.

His purpose was understood and a mo-

cry Of despair rose from the boat as the

short distance down stream and to this
they made their way; but the moments
were growing precious. Already the
fear of the flames had caused several
persons to throw themselves into the
swift-moving water which swept them

AN ANARCHISTS BOMB.

pupil In one OF the public schools
In Brooklyn has recently displayed
Anarchistic tendencies. He has dened
the constituted authorities and showed
a sovereign contempt for law and order.
Yesterday during school hours he made
an effort to raise Il rebellion In the
school, and springing suddenly to his
feet uttered n wild, demoniacal. blood
curdling yell that Herr Most might
have enyied and Buffalo Bill might have
admired. Thereupon the Principal OF
the school seized the offender and be-
gan to belabor him with n stout cane
on the proper part OF his person.
This operation had barely commenced
when a terrific explosion was heard In
the school, loud enough to shatter win
dows and shake the ink bottles on the
desk. The young Anarchist was
dropped to the floor. the Principal fed
In terror from the scene. the scholars
scrambled to get out of the school
room. and for time the panic was
fearful.
An investigation was subsequently
made. and 1t was discovered that the
unruly boy had his pistol pocket filled
with cartridges. which had been eX
ploded by the masters cane. A bullet
was found embedded In the wall, but
the only damage done was to the youns
rebels trousers. entniling a job o
needIework on his mother.
