Since Patched Up.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. .3.-The Northwest

went to pieces about three weeks ago,

disregard of the agreement by some
members, has been patched up again.

David j. Brewer of Kansas, justice of
the United States supreme court; Rich
ard H. Alvey of Maryland, chief justice
Of the court of appeals of the District of
Columbia; Andrew D. White of New
York, Frederick r. Coudert of New
York and Daniel G.. Gilman of Mary
land.
The commission is regarded here
as an eminently satisfactory one,
whose opinions and conclusions will be
received by the American public with
that confidence which the standing of
the members of the commission in the
public eye inspires.
Brewer and Alvey Are Jnrists.
Justice Brewer is Republican in
politics and about So years of age. He
is graduate of Yale and has spent
considerable time i'll the practice of his
profession III Kansas, where he filled q
number of judicial offices. In 1884 he
was appointed circuit court Judge Of
the United States for the Eighth dis
trict and was appointed associate JUS
tice of the supreme court in December,
1889, by President Harrison.
Richard H. Alvey is Democrat in
politics and a man of marked legal
ability. 1t was the great reputation he
gained as judge in the Maryland courts
which led President Cleveland in the
absence of political influence on Judge
Alvey's part to appoint him to the posi-
tion of chief justice Of the court of APP
peals of the District Of Columbia He
is about TO years of age.
White and Coudert Well Known.
Andrew d. White is a Republican in
politics. He is one of the best known
men of letters in this country and per-
haps in the world, is all author and his
torian and has been the president Of
appointed minister to Russia by Presi-
dent Harrison, and this position he held
through Harrison's administration and
for year or more during Mr.. Cleve.
lands administration.
Frederick r. Coudert is a Democrat
and is one of the best known members
of the bar in New York Mr. Coudert
oiAO VI Viz SouHSCl IOI tuC
States on the Bering sea commission,
and in that capacity made one of the
most eloquent and effective speeches
delivered in behalf of the American
contentious.
An Authority or International Law.
The last named member of the COM
mission, Daniel G. Gilman, president Of
Johns Hopkins university, is we'll
known as an authority on international
law. He was at one time president of
the University of California and was
later called to take up the work Of the
organization Of the university of which
he is now at the head. One of his
principal acquisitions is the mastery of
the science Of physical geography, he
having studied III Germany under q
prominent instructor and in this coun-
try under GOyot. Mr. Gilman has never
figured prominently in politics. At the
White House it is stated that he has no
politics, but his proclivities are under
stood to be Republican. The two great
parties, it will be seen, are equally rep
resented on the commission, with the
fifth member having no outspoken poll
tics.

Kentucky. The House unseated
Democrat, and the Senate in retail
alton unseated two Republicans, and
the Democrats stood at the door of the
hall with pistols ready to shoot the
Republicans if they attempted to enter.
The shedding of blood was only pre-
vented by the Republicans refusing to
vote and thus showing no quorum
present. This is the man the Inder

A Calf Question.

A little question in Mathematics! 1t is
amusing ard interesting and not unprof-
table TO arouse the curiosity of a town or
neighberhood with one of those mathemat
ical question apparently so simple and ye-
upon investigation so complex. Such a
proposition has been the theme of coyersa.
tion and of calculation at many an Odessa
fireside the past few days, and it is yet un-
settled. The question is:
A farmer on the last day of March, 1886,
purchased cow which on April End, being
the second day after the purchase, dropped
calf and every year thereafter for ten years
on the same day, the End of April of every
year. And the calves and all the offspring
of this cow at the age Of two years dropped
calves, all living and all to be counted, how
many in all will there be in the herd on
the 1st day of April 1895?
Tbs is no catch question, but is a plai n
mathematical problem and the TRANsoR1pr
is informed that the solutions given in
Odessa have ranged from rs to sos, and the
answers at are only few less in number
than the persons making the calculation.
A years subscription is offered by the TRAM
SCRIPT for the correct solution of the pro-
blem, the Cantwell Club of oddessa to be
the judge in the case. The first correct
solution submitted to the President of the
Club to take the prize. Address the Ca mt
well Club, Odessa; try it for fun and write

THE probing of the TRANSCRIPT in
to the Long Bridge matter at Port
Penn has gotten Under the skin of some
of the benefciaries of that expensive
affair. They are explaining in private.
The TRANSCRIPT does not care
whether the men responsible for that
bridge, its expensive construction and
maintenance, are Republicans or Dem
ocrats, or both. 1t is not question of
politics but of taxes, and the people
pay the taxes. They have paid accord
ing to the best authority about hun
dred and forty thousand dollars of the
peoples money and have now nothing
to show for it. OF course whitewash
is something that don't last long. That
is past, however, and is profitable only
as a lesson. If the people do not watch
these matters the political tricksters
will have their fingers in the political
pie where dollars are to be divided. the
dollars Of the tax payers. The lesson
to be learned is to turn down the man
who selfishly works for his own and
hisparty's good to the detrinent of the
people, let that man be Republican, a
Democrat or whatnos. The TRAM
SCRIPT is for honest and economical
government.

TIE DEBT OF GRATITUDE

''Senator Blackburn came very nearly
being reelected United States Senator
from Kentucky the other day. Re-
membering the great services he has
rendered the Democracy of this State.
our people would be very glad to see
him returned, despite his views on the
money question. The Democracy of
Delaware owe him debt of gratitude
for what he has done for them when
neither gold or silver was plentiful
commodity among them." = Dover

1t is said that children and some
other people on occasions tell the truth,
What is the debt of gratitude that the
Delaware Democracy owes to Senator
Blackburn Certainly not merely
making two or three speeches in the
State. The IndeG says it is great
service that Senator Blackburn rem
dered but it fails to tell what it is.
The TRANSCRIPT knows and will tell.
and our readers can then Judge of the
debt of gratitude.
In 1890 when New Castle county
went Republican the first time for a
number Of years, the Democratic
County Committee before election in
Sussex made canvass of the vote and
found the Republicans had a majority
in the county. They made a second
canvass with the same result. 1t was
then that Senator Gray appealed to
Senator Blackbur n, and he came to the
State and advised that the southern
tactics of manning the polls be resorted
to. His instructions were that the Demo-
Gratis should stand shoulder to shoulder
around the polls all day, and when ever
Republicans attempted to vote to SO
jostle them that they would be pressed
out. The instructions were followed
out. At Laurel there was riot, the
polls were closed, and the governor
was appealed to to call out the militia.
1t was the same in quality though not
in degree at every polling place in the
county. Many an old man and many
a invalid was deprived Of his vote
that day. Ofthe day at Dagsboro ex-
