! REpUDIATED For DOING HIS
DUTY.-Hon. w. S. Holman, bet

the Treasury" who has been in
Congress for thirty years, but was
fepudiated by the people of his
congressional district at the last
election for doing his duty, is au
thority for the statement that
there is no money to be made out
Of politics. The OLD gentleman is
honest and has been in public life
long enough to know whereof he
speaks, but we are satisfied that
John Sherman, who has been suck

than himself and who is now a
multi. millionaire, will not agree
with the old poverty stricken fel.

Congress and possesses the same
farm still, but has never been able
to increase its size or improve its
pecuniary value. John Sherman,
with the same pay, has made mill

The ballot reform caldron is
beginning to seethe and effervesce
again and will surely boil over be-
fore the next election. But it will
likely exert about as much influ-
ence in accomplishing the desidera
tam Of honest elections, as did the
agitation previous TO and during
the last session of the legislation.

THE CURRENT FRENCH CRAZE.

Extreme Legislation Promised as the Re-
suit of the Spy Mania.
The succession of fanatical crazes in
which the French people have been in
dulging in the past two years has placed
upon the statute books some Of the most
monstrous laws that ever disgraced a
monarchy, not to say democracy. The
present spy mania promises to add some
amazing legislation Of this description.
The law against espionage laid before
the chamber by the minister of war,
now awaiting enactment, is Of this char
acter. The pretended purpose Of the bill
is to enable the penalty Of death against
traitors. such as Captain Dreyfus, to be
inflicted, but it contains number Of
insidious clauses which would enable a
government not troubled with scruples
of conscience to get rid Of its enemies
by trumping up spurious charges Of dis
closing state secrets.
For instance, it proposes to inflict five
years imprisonment and 10, 900 francs
fine on any unqualified person who shall,
even without intent of espionage, have
procured, got hold Of or published any
plans, documents or information con-
corning the national defense or the ex-
ternal safety of the state. This proposal
is strongly denounced by the opposition
newspapers, and even the ministerial
Debats admits that it is going little
too far. 1t is hardly surprising that
some of the London newspapers are de-
claring that the only safety for foreign
ers is to stay away from France. Paris

TOOK THE SHORTEST CUT.

French Detectives Improve an Opportuni-
ty to Do a Clever Piece of Work.
Paris is laughing today over the un-
doing of two extremely smart burglars.
Two detectives were in the Rue St.
Martin. Their attention was attracted
to man pushing large packing case
on cart along the street. The man
was apparently talking to himself.
They overheard the remark: "Don't be
afraid, old fellow will take the short
est cut. " Arriving at the Rue de Bondy,
he deposited the packing case in the
warehouse of merchant named Roux.
The detectives concealed themselves in
the warehouse for the night. About
midnight man issued from the pack
ing case. He was provided with a set of
burglars tools and set to work to de-
molish the lock of the safe The opera
tion took long time, but at last the
door few open, and the robber filled his
pockets with gold and silver. He with
drew once more into the case, which
closed upon him.
The detectives were in no hurry to
handcuff the thief, but awaited the re-
turn of his confederate. In the morning
he presented himself to take away the
case and was arrested before entering
the warehouse.
The detectives placed the case on a
handcart and dragged it to the office of
the police commissary. On the way
they acted the part of the accomplice.
When the man in the box inquired, "Is
that your" detective replied: Eyes, old
boy. Don't be uneasy. I will take the
shortest cut. - This ingenious robber
was greatly surprised when he arrived
at his destination to find himself in le
presence of police commissary. Paris

PuLLMAN,s NARROW ESCAPE.

Cho1ly Tells Us the Baron Came Pretty
Near Pulling the Dukes Nose.
Baron Otto Won Fritsch, very clever
and agreeable German nobleman, is in
town on a visit and tells good story
Of how he was offered $1,000 to pull
George Pullman's nose in Chicago the
other day.
1t seems that the baron was the dukes
agent at the Chicago exhibition and had
charge of the Pullman exhibit in the
Transportation building.
He found Pullman hard taskmaster,
and being rather hot tempered himself
he finally quarreled with his employer
and told him to go to the deuce.
A Chicago newspaper heard of the
quarrel and sent representative to the
baron Offering him 81, 900 in cash if he
would pull George Pullman's nose in
public.
The baron longed to accept the offer
and would have done SO had his accounts
with the millionaire been settled.
He restrained his desires, settled his
accounts and then offered to do the job
for half the original sum, but the paper
was then bent on another sensation, and
the negotiations fell through.
I wonder if the duke knows how very
near his nasal organ came to getting
tdommed bad twist. "-Cholly Knick-
erbocker in New York Recorder.

ONLY A "PROPERTY."
Yet It Was the Most Terrible Figure
the Lexow Investigation.

Yet It Was the Most Terrible Figure In
the Lexow Investigation.
The scene in the courtroom at the final
session of the Lexow committee after
adjournment had been announced is
thus described by the New York World:
Presently there was rush Of hand
shakers for the weary arm Of Mr.. Golf.
Then everybody moved for the door.
One by one the actors made their exit.
The senators were among the first.
Among them it was: "Goodby, Jake!"
$50 long, Saxton. old man!' ''I'll SEQ
you directly, Clarencel' ''Take care Of
yourself, Uncle DAMP And soon all of
the great figures were gone, except
Byrnes. He pulled his hat over his eyes
and stood about, made a few steps, lin
gered, hesitated, glanced around and at
last slipped out among the last to leave
the room.
But there was one figure that remain
ed, staid in after the last person had
left, after the lights were out. This fig
ure was, in one sense, only proper
ty," but in another sense it was terri
BILE personality, one upon which all
men who came into that room have cast
looks of awe and some men looks of ter
Tor. That figure was the witness chair,
with its inclosing arms and its high
back. 1t looked less harmless and was
far more terrible than those iron chairs
of the medieval torture rooms.
Senator Bradley had made a motion.
1t was to the effect that the committee
should ask the city Of New York for the
chair in which the Lexow- witnesses sat
and should make a present of it to DIR.
Parkhurst.
Mr.. Golf announced that he had al
ready applied for the chair, and that if
he got it he was going to give it to DR..
ParkhurSt,
