If Guilty. forgiveness Is Assured.

The mortality among newspapers in
the United States during the past 10
months has been something almost un-
precedented In New York state alone
e73 newspapers suspended between
June, 1898, and June, 1894 For the first
time since 1859 the total number cata-
Iogued by the newspaper directory is
less than for the preceding year. This
Is said to be due to hard times caused
by the Democratic free trade panic. but
this is one of the things for which that
party will most assuredly be forgiven

ing her old time reputation of being a
firstclass show town. Good companies
now get coed houses regularly, while
tn ''snide" companies are allowed to
plav to empty bencheS-a decided and
pleasing change from conditions last
season, when the order Of things were
frequently reversed. Last plight the
opera house was packed from pit to
dome and along in the afternoon of
yesterday a goodly number, including
some of the most steady patrons of the
huuse, were obliged to give up The idea
Of going to the theatre. not being able
to get the seats they wanted-they had
delayed all too long the purchase OF
their tickets, thinking, no doubt. that
az usual good seats would be plenty,
even after the show began. Of course
the drawing card was the wins0me lit

drama, "The Little Maverick" All
the parts in the play were in good
hands. but of course interest, conferred
in the leading character, Katie herself.

style the traits and eccentricities of the
true hearted, petted and spoiled

from Texas. Her fresh and childlike
voice in dialogue and song is a rare
treat and her grace and life in action
upon the stage is poem. Gus Conan,
the inimitable dutGhman, was funny.
His songs and dances are all mp to-date
and his wit seems to flow from him
naturally, and is of the very best kind.
In the play the big hearted Texas
stockman was well portrayed az was
also the true gentleman of European
aristocracy, the man with the title

the bright side of life. All in all the
play was one of those entertainments
that always do ones heart good to wit

THE THIRTY YEARS TRADITION.
The Death of MI. o'Neill and Defeat o
Mr.. Holman Saved the Record.

The Death of Mr.. O'Neill and Defeat of
Mr.. Holman Saved the Record.
TWAS fate which defeated Represent
ative Holman. The venerable Indianian
essayed to do what no one before him
had accomplished The tradition that
limits service in the house of represent
atives to 80 years will receive increased
respect from Mr.. Holman's defeat. At
the beginning of the present congress
Mr.. Holman and Mr.. O'Neill of Phila-
delphia had a conversation about this
tradition. Mr.. O'Nelil asked Mr.. Hol-
man what he thought of it. Mr.. Hol-
man smiled at the man who was ia
ther of the house" and told him he was
all right for half dozen terms. Mr.
O'Neill shook his head and reminded
Mr.. Holman Of the fate that had over
taken Kelley, Randall and others just
when it seemed that they were sure to
break the record. Mr.. Holman afterward
told of this conversation and added:
81 guess O'NeilI will break the record.
He is strong and hearty"
Before the year was out Mr.. O'Neill
was dead, and the tradition had received
one more proof of its weird power. Mr..
Holman then became father of the
house" Had he been elected this time
he would have exceeded the traditional
80 years limit as soon as he passed the
Sd of next March. But he was defeated.
1t will be a long time before the ira
dition will be tested again. With Mr..
Holman the last of the members nearing
the limit disappears. Mr.. Bland goes
out of congress with 20 years to his
credit. Mr.. Cannon of Illinois and Mr..
Culberson of Texas will have served &c
years each on the Sd of next March

made in these columns on Monday
The shock to Mrs. Scott was severe, she
falling into the ditch filled with water
and mud and with her babe in her arms,
the other children falling on top of
them. 1t was not her own bruises and
the drenching that hurt her so much
as the shock to her nervous system,
for she thought for time that her darl-
ing babe had been killed. Undoubtedly
SERIOUS results have followed the &C.

Jensen, near whose home the accident
happened, taken the family into his
cosy rooms and cheering fires and
warmed them and gave them every
needed attention. The clothes the
mother and children wore are ruined.
All are recovering slowly. Surely the
hoodlums whose insane yelling caused
the accident are now ashamed of what
they did.

4 MINNESOr1 LAK.

The Minnesota legislature didn't talk
so Minnesota has a eorrupt-practice
law. And it appears to be we'll made
one. 1t requires sworn publication af-
ter election of all moneys received and
spent, by candidates and committees,
and places maximum limits to expendi-
lures in all cases. These limits are fixed
in the same manner as in the Missouri
law, that is on a ratio based upon the
number of voters, as follows: For 5000
voters or less, $3.50; for each 100 voters
over 5000 and under $4,000. 50; for each
100 voters over $4,000 and under $4,000,
81; and for each 100 voters over 10000,
so cents-the number of voters to be
ascertained by the number Of votes cast
for all the candidates for such office at
the last preceding regular election. The
tariff of the Missouri law is the same,
except that the amount allowed for s.
900 voters or less is under that law only
500 instead of $3.50. The provisions for
enforcing the Minnesota law are copied
mainly from the Missouri law, and per-
NIT the candidate receiving the next
highest number of votes to that cast for
the successful candidate, at any time
during the latter's term of office, to
make application by affidavit to the at
torney general to bring an action to
have him ousted from office on the
ground Of violation Of any Of the terms
Of the act. Such application must be
accompanied by a bond of $1,000 as the
means of paying possible costs to which
the State may be made liable under the
suitA and the attorney general must be-
gin the suit within ten days after the
application is filed. In case of refusal
of the prosecuting officers the contest
ant may bring suit in the name Of the
State but at his own expense. If the
charges are sustained the defendant
is to be ousted from his office. and that
office is to be awarded to the plaintiff,
unless the latter be found guilty Of some
violation Of the law, in which case the
office is to be declared vacant and is to
be filled either by appointment or by a
new election.
This law will probably well If
the people Of Minnesota take enough in
terest in it to see that It works. Prob
ably they will not, but their legislature
took enough interest in the matter to
make the law. This is more than the
of Connecticut has done and
more than 1t now seems likely to do.

preacher" Sunday night, and they hav'
for the two days since devoted them
selves almost wholly to thanksgiving
and singing hallelujahs.
Joseph Benton was born in this coun-
try twenty years ago. Nine days after
birth his eyes became inflamed, and
when the fever had left them three
months later the sight was entirely
gone His parents We're poor, and,
although a local oculist did what he
could to restore the sight, the case was
pronounced incurable. No treatment
had been given for the last twelve
years.
The child loved to listen to the read
ing Of the Bible and history, and his
wonderful memory enabled him to re-
tain all that was read to him. He join
ed the Methodist Church South at the
age of eight, and began preaching at
the age of seventeen.
Last November he attached himself
to the United Brethren denomination.
He has preached throughout this end
of the state, western Missouri, western
Tennessee, and southwestern Kentuc-
ky, with phenomenal success, having
had no less than 300 converts since last
August.
Sunday night the blind preacher stood
upon the steps Of a vacant storehouse,
addressing a congrega ton in the street.
His face was turned toward heaven.
He told his hearers that they could look
up and see the beautiful stars, while
he was cropping in darkness, but that
he prayed always that sight be given
him.
AS the preacher finished that sem
tence he stopped, passed his hands
across his forehead, and, pointing to
the moon, asked what that great some
thing was. He was told that it was
the moon Other strange things fell
upon his vision, and with great shouts
of hallelujahs he declared that his
prayers had been answered, that he
could see, The congregation took UP
the cry and such rejoicing was never
known here before.
The Rev Mr.. Benton walked home
without assistance, and there was no
sleeping for him that night. His sight
has steadily grown stronger, and his
joy has no bounds. He says that he
viii have to learn as baby the names
of all the strange objects he sees. One
of the greaest sensations he experience
ed was the sight Of himself reflected
from the mirror. Mr.. Benton is posi-
tive that the gift of sight is direct
answer to his prayers. To-day he att
tended a quarterly meeting in an adj
