Edmund G. Ross, who was United
States Senator from Kansas 1866 to
1871, publishes in this months
Forum" entertaining sketches of the
political leaders of the reconstruction
period. Ito has this to say about Am
bassador Bayard:
Thomas f. Bayard of Delaware, took
his seat in the Senate two years after
Mr.. Conkling's entrance, succeeding
his father James A. Bayard. The elder
Bayard had been chosen by the Legis-
lature in 1869 to fill the unexpired term
of George Riddle, and the son had been
named at the same time for the sue
ceeding full term-an election without
parallel in the history of this country.
The younger Bayard soon won recog-
milton in the Senate as an effective and
scholarly debater and an industrious
and careful legislator. Under the
peculiar conditions at that time pre-
vailing in the Senate, there was little
that Democratic Senator-especial
one Of recent entry into the body
could do to identify himself with or to
influence legislation, but, ever safe
and sagacious counsellor, Mr.. Bayard
was able to overcome these conditions,
and in later years the dignity and wis
dom of American Senatorahip were
illustrated in his career-a career still
rich in promise for the future--in a
degree far greater than he was honored
by it.
Senator Ross was Republican Sena,
tor but offended the more bitter parti-
sans of his own party by voting against
the impeachment of President johnson.

Senator Sherman has been talking to
the newspaper correspondents at Wash
ington about the probable results of the
election in Ohio. He predicts that the
Republican majority on the State
ticket will be fifty or sixty thousand.
Last fall the Republicans carried
Ohio by l37, 600, so Senator Sherman is
conceding Republican loss of from
n, 600 to $1,000. lie thinks that the
Legislature will be Republican, but
adds that this depends very much on
the result in Hamilton county where
Cincinnati is located. In the last Ohio
Legislature on joint ballot the Repub-,
licans had ITO and thu Democrats only
%, so that Senator Sherman practically
comedies great Democratic gains in the
election Of Legislative candidates. When
his talk about the situation in Ohio is
boiled down and analysed it amounts
to this; he secs plainly that there ia a
great reaction in Ohio against the Re
publican tidal wave of 1891, but he
thinks tho reaction will not 20 far

Tho Delaware Pilot wants TO know
what is the matter with the laws
passed by the last Legislature, and
suggests that with the long delay in
their publication "there is danger
that the next Legislature will meet and
repeal some OF them before we know
what the enactments were" Undoubt-
eddy the publication of the now volume
of laws has been delayed long past tho
usual time. We explained some weeks
ago that the senatorial deadlock occu-
pied the time and attention of the
General Assembly at the close of the
session TO the exclusion OF legislative
business. Consequently adjournment
was bad in the midst of confusion. A
number of bills which had regularly
passed both houses were not enrolled
by the committee and were not signed
by the speakers The Secretary of State
has had the unusual work of tracing
such bills through the unpublished
manuscript journals Of the two clerks,
to satisfy himself that they are entitled
TO appear IN the volume OF laws. This
unusual work has consumed time; but
the public will not have to wait much
longer for the laws. 1t is worth while
to note that the laws passed by the last
General Assembly can as we'll afford TO
wait good while for publication as
those Of any General Assembly Della
ware has ever had; for they do not
amount 10 much. Tho mountain ira
vailed long and groaned nightly, but
1t produced the smallest kind of a
mouse. So far as the public welfare
is concerned it would not suffer if the

bly, were with few exceptions never
heard of any more. People who antici-
pated good results from Republican

A New Pedal Attachment.

Among the mass Of new inventions for
the general benefit Of bicyclists is a toe
clip. Riders have. as a rule, been skep-
teal regarding toe clips, for the majority
of them, while having one or two good
features, are defective from the fact OF
being stationary and requiring consider
able practice to secure the feet properly on
the pedals without bending the clip.
This new toe clip has several good fea-
lures The construction is such that when
the pedal is lot in use and hanging down.
ward the toe clip swings out Of the way, SO
that the pedal may be caught by the rid
er's foot without any attention being paid
to the clip.
The instant the foot is placed upon tho
pedal the clip flies up into position. where
1t locks firmly, and when the foot is re-
moved from the pedal 1t turns with the
clip on the under side, the mechanism i'm
mediately unlocRs of itself. and is at once
ready for further use By the use OF this
clip, tie side guards on the pedal may b
dispensed with, as the clip is provided with
a metal strip which acts as a guard, and
" hich can be made wider or narrower, to
suit the riders foot
The clip can be readily adjusted to Mt
almost any make of pedal. The construo-
ton is very simple, having no parts to be,
come disarranged or get out OF order, ane
tine weight is only three ounces.

VARYING REPORTS.
Inventor SOuder to Be Investigated
by Authorities.


by Authorities.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Souder
wife of Jacob J. Souder, an inventor, living
at No. 1906 K street. called upon Sanitary
Officer Frank and asked his advice about
what action She should take to protect her
self from her husbands alleged insane con-
duct. The sanitary officer advised Mrs.
Soud ar to swear out warrant for alleged
threats, which she did, and last night after
10 o'clock the warrant was served upon
the inventor at his home on K street He
was taken to the first police station and
given comfortable quarters in one of the
witness rooms, and was not taken to court
this morning, as Sanitary Officer Frank
gave orders for an examination, to aScer-
tain his mental condition. Mr.. Souders
physician thinks he is not responsible for
his conduct, and it now remains for the
police surgeons to make a report upon his
case.
Both Mrs: Scuder and her daughter tell
duct, WHILE on the other hand friends of
the incarcerated man claim that there Is
nothing the matter with his mind Should
the police surgeons decide that he is not of
unsound mind the case of alleged threats
will be heard in the Police Court tomor-
row. If, on the other hand, they deter
mine that his mind is affected, proceedings
to have him sent to the asylum will be in
stituted.
DR.. Lincoln JohI son is Mr.. Souder's fam
lily physician, and he has reported to SAM
tary Officer Frank that Mr.. Souder is of
unsound mind while DIR. hewitt. one of the
police surgeons who made an eXamina tion
this afternoon. reported that Souder is of
sound mind. The reports of the other sur
geons may prove interesting, and should
the case reach q marshaTs jury the dis
agreement between the doctors may have
the effect of causing a sensational investi-
cation.

From the Chicago Record.
If ever you meet pair of bronze statues
walking along the street it will surprise you
a little at first. Living statuary'' is made
a form of sidewalk entertainment in Paris.
The statues" have their faces smeared
with bronze powder, while their wigs, hats
and garments have been thoroughly coated
with bronze paint
Two of these weird objects were passed
on the boulevard one evening, for they
never come out until after dark, and they
were at once followed. When they came
to an outdoor cafe with overhead lamps
they stopped, and one of them made a
speech, and IN doing so wrinkled his metal
lie features until 1t seemed certain that
they would crack.
He and his associate statute were at
tired as soldiers. They struck several he
roic poses in the doorway, where the light
could fall on them, and the effect was very
good. When they stood still they seemed
to be real statues.
The people at the tables mildly approved
the exhibition and gave a few coppers
The statues then moved on to the next
place.

places in the boulevard to seek entertain
ment the entertainment comes to them.

1t May BE Read With Profit by the
Record Breakers of the Present Day.
From the Missoula Siverite.
The Railroad Club met Tuesday evening
in the usual place, and after. a short bust
ness session the boys dHfted into shop
conversation. The recent fast run of the
general managers special from Hope to
Missoula was commented, on, and the talk
on fast runs became general Several sto1-
les of remarkable time made on different oc-
casions were related, and when the blond
brakeman got the floor he saw he was ex-
pected to break the record. And he did.
Speaking of fast runs" said he, why,
that little Montana Uni6n lhe lays over
anything l ever saw. No Dutch clocks or
anything else to hold a,manf down there
worked for that road when Bob Smith was
dispatcher, and when hef told the boys to
wheel EN- we all knew what It meant. One
day we were going north andnwere DELAYED
in various ways until we reached Stewart.
Bob wired the con. at that Point that he
wanted our train to get to Garrison Just as
quick as God would let us, VIE had a clear
track when we started, and it wasn't long
before the telegraph poles looked like a
picket fence. The biggest burst of speed
was reserved for the home stretch-from
Deer Lodge to Garrison. eleven miles. We
didn't stop at Deer Lodge, but as we ap-
preached that place the engineer sounded
the whistle as usual-and you may take my
head for a foot ball if the slow sign in the
Garrison yards wasn't passed by our train
before that whistle had ceased to sound"
This made tie boys look weary, hut the
"braky" hadn't finished yet. He continued
well, we put our train away and were
resting ourselves, when we glanced up the
track and saw dark streak approaching at
a lightning gait. We were astounded for an
instant. but as 1t slowed up we readily recs
ognized it as tho shadow of the train we had
just brought in."
And the boys all rose up, and after pre-
senting the relator with n regularly signed
license the club adjourned. "~E
