BADGER IN TRRLOBBY.

OF the second division is tsr ex-lnember
from Wisconsin, whom shall call the
Hon. William Bell, for his real name
sounds very much alike that he was q
member of two congresses, and was
beaten by his constituents ut the end OF
his second term because he was mixed up
in Il very ugly scandal, in which q Young
female treasury clerk was involved.
Bell took to Washington lie as natural
IL ag O. fish takes to water, and after he
Was retired he became fixture. An ex-
member has the privilege OF the floor,
and as the Wisconsin man was q good
spender, he became a general fslyorite,
and soon established 8 valuable client
age. It is said OF him that he has pulled
off more suspicious legislation than all
| his colleagues combined, and that his in
come today is equal to that Of the nresi-
dent OF the United States.
Many good stories are told at Bells
expense, but one OF the best has TO dc
with ana ex-member from New York
who was in the forty-ninth congress-
and had the reputation OF gathering il
everything in sight. Bell had 8 very
shady bill during that session. It's pas

AFTER The ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
War Under Elizabeth.

IFlVntA
War Under Elizabeth.
The defeat of the Armada inspired
England with energy and hope. Our
people, says Biackwood's Magazine, be-
came busy traders. Flemish traders
had been ruined by war, Flemish refu-
gees had foclled into England, and
Antwerp, the great port for new world
commerce, had been sacked and taken.
England succeeded to the trade of which
the Dutch had been deprived Beyond
the ocean lay n vast world of wealth,
OF which Spain, united with Portugal,
claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud-
ing English commerce. from the larger
half of the planet. Systematic vio-
lence-that is, the combination of trade
with private war--was the only mode
I'M which this monopoly could be at
tackled.
Elizabeth connived at this covert mar
itime war both before and after the
Armada, and the struggles between Eng
lisfh traders and Spanish monopolists
weretfar too, numerous and important
to admit OF peace between the two gov
ernments. 1t was this spirit of COM
mercial adventure, whether it be called
piracy or u heroic attempt to rescue the
new world from the inquisition and
give it back TO the free use of the human
race, which was the first step in the de-
svelopment of three colossal growths-
British trade, British empire, the Brit
ish navy.

The curtain was up on the first scene.
but the characters did not appear. In
their stead the stage manager glided
in and looked over the footlights. "For
years" he pleasantly remarked, "we
have talked of elevating the stage. You
will now see it done" He waved his
hand toward the prompt side and al
most instantly the stage slowly rose.
When 1t had reached q height Of perhaps
Elk feet the manager. with another ges-
ture, stopped it,, ''Tf any gentleman in
the audience is still unable to see the

speak right up and We'll cheerfullygiyc

arose from the back row. "Just couple

OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
Mr.. Bryan, as Chief Executive,
Would Drive Them Out of Ex-
istence.

My friends. in so far as Republicans
and former Democrats have criticised
my election as a menace to law and
order l want to say to you that their
fear is not that as an executive 1 will
be lax in the enforcement of law Their
fear is that as an executive [ would
not respect persons.
Who is it that is so afraid that law
will not be enforced? Those who are
most fearful that there will be a lax
enforcement of the law are the very
persons who would suffer most if the
laws were enforced.
Those persons who. are afraid that
law Will be violated with impunity are
the ones who have violated law with
IMMUNITY.
If Mr.. Harrison wants to raise the
question of the Survival of our institu-
tons, L will tell him that the great
trusts of this country that are sup
porting the Republican ticket are the
greatest menace to our government.
The coal trust sends Il representa-
tive to sit by every fireside and exacts
tribute from those who need warmth.
The oil trust sends its representative to
collect a tribute from those who use
light.
The trusts of this country. with
their representatives, are collecting
tribute from the people, and when we
protest against it they call us dis
turoers of the peace and anarchists.
l am opposed to trusts AS an ex-
ecutive. ] shall use what power 1 have
to drive every trust out of existence.
If present laws are not sufficient to
meet this evil. 1, if elected, will recon-
mend such laws as will.
If the constitution OF the United
States is so construed as to prevent
any interference with the operations of
the trust, l shall recommend such
amendment to the constitution as will
permit the punishment Of these men.
Ny friends, there is a great contest
in this country which must be settled,
and that is whether a few men banded
together are more powerful than all
the people.
And while I do not want to array
class against class, l am willing TO ar
ray all the people who suffer from the
operations of these trusts against the
few people who operate the trusts.

James Bell Narrowly Escapes
Death at Murray.
STEPPED BEFORE A TRAIN
RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES
ABOUT THE HEAD AND SIDE.
Was Brought to This City on the
Regular Train and Attended by
the Company Surgeon-His Inju-
ries Not Thought to Be Dangerous

James Bell, of Murray. had a mar
row escape from frightful death last
evening, and as it is, will be laid up
for some time
1t appea IS that Mr.. Bell was walking
along the Union Pacific track at Muir
ray last evening at the time when
the trains pass, and as No. came
along, he stepped out of the way onto
the side track Just then No.
pulled in on that track and Mr.. Bell
was struck by the engine, and luckily
for him, thrown from the track. he
was picked up, placed in the baggage
car and brought to this city on the
regular train at once. DR.. Daily, the
company surgeon, had meantime been
notified and was at the depot when the
train pulled in. A careful examina-
ton showed that Mr.. Bells injuries
consisted of some ugly wounds about
the head while ne was badly bruised
on the side of his body, where he was
struck.
The injuries, which are very pain
full and severe, ar pronounced by the
surgeon not to be serious.
From all accounts, it would seem
that the trainmen were in no way
responsible for the accident, as they
could not have averted it.
Mr. Bell is man of family and one
of his sons, Edward Bell, works for
the Union Pacific company
After his injuries had been dressed
and he had been made as comfortable
as possible, Mr.. Bell was taken back
to Murray last night.

GREAT COAST LIGHT.
1t Is Being Erected on the French
Shore and. Is to Be Seen Sixty
Miles.

Pail Mall Gazette: The penetrating
powers and ranges of powerful lights.
such as are employed in lighthouse
service, rapidly decrease as the ratio
of their luminous power increases For
instance, light of 5,000,0 900 candle
power in the British Channel has in
average weather a luminous range of
about A nautical miles, while, if the
light be increased to the power of TO-
coo. 900 candles, the luminous range is
only five miles more. or 40 miles Ac-
cording to current practice lights up
to 200,0 900 candle-power are obtained by
means of mineral oil lamps, while cleo
trio lights are used for higher powers.
and almost any power may thus be OBJ
tanned. The highest power yet at
tempted is about $4,000, 900 at Denmark
Point, in the department of Finisterre
France, which, when completed, will
be the most powerful lighthouse illum-
ination in the world. The height of
the tower in which it is to be located
is about 63 metres. enabling it to be
seen during the day from distance
OF Is miles in fine weather. During the
night this light will be visible for 60
miles The rotundity of the earth will
prevent the rays from striking the eye
directly at distance of more than 80
miles, but the sky overhead will appear
Illuminated for 80 miles more. The esti-
mated cost of this lighthouse is about
81 % O0e
