. M. CHAPPLE's LATEST STORY

Boss Bart, Politician, Story of Love and Politics. by Joe Mitchell Chapple; F. T. Nicely, publishers, New York. This is the latest production from the pen of the young Wisconsin author, an ed itOr, by the way, who made his debut in literary circles with the readable story of a prima donna, entitled, "The Minor Chord" It created quite a stir in the east and among the op- cratic people, because of it's character istic delineation of the life of the great singer, Madam Nordica, whom Mr. Chapple met on a recent trip to Ger many.
 The author shows fancy for Iowa as the groundwork for his novels. In introducing the characters of Boss Bart there is description of typi- cal crossroads country town and the little school house. The pastoral scene is brought out with quiet pleas ure, but before the excitable incidents are told, the scene is shifted to Chi cago. Boss Bart is typical poli- tlclan, with the smooth nature and persuasive smile that count so much at present in city politics He pos sesses the one good trait of sticking to his friends through thick and thin; in fact, it seems to be his only gospel MT. Chapple shows editorial charac- teristics in his writing, in that he re- lates so much in few words. He also keeps the scenery shifting with ce- lerity There is murder, estrange- ment of lovers, and thread of mystery running through the story which keeps up the interest
 Some local interest is attached to the work, as the author is a brother oi William Chapple, of The Republican Rinehart is selling the novel.

1t Provides for the settlement of
Hcrse Contests by the Courts
Elections sCommitteeNo 8 has, bya unani-
nous vote, ordered favorably reported the
bIii OF AIR. Mccall, referring to the United
states district courts for settlement con-
tested election cases OF members OF the
House of Representatives. The decision
of the court is to be sent to the House, but
is not TO be construed as intended to
restrict or in any way impair the right
Of the House to judge the elections and
qualifications of its members.
Mr. Mccall, in his report on the meas sure,
refers to the large number of contested
election cases of this Congress aud says
that the passage of the proposed bin
would, in the first instance, secure the
organization of the House according to the
law governing its composition: secondly,
it would tend to remove partiSanShip from
the ultimate decision, because OF the fair
influence OF the Judgment of the court
on the members of the House: thirdly
1t would tend to diminish the number of
these contests which are based on mere
pretexts, and upon the belief that the
majority party will take care of-its own;
and, fourthiy, it would, so far as it is
possible under the Constitution, establish
a system which would do away with
partisanship in the decision OF such cases
and secure to the legally elected Repre-
SentativeS OF the people, and to tn em alone,
the exercise OF those high functions which
the Constitution puts upon this House.
For great many years the House of
Commons of Great Britain decided its
contested elections. They were made
purely partisan Questions and in 1868 a
statute was passed comforting Jurisdiction
Of these cases to the courts, the house not
even reserving the right to review the

1t is quite probable that the Columbia

the Potomac Electric Ligh tand Power Com

Heights citizens not to put up overhead
wlrcs and yet the poles are up ready for
the permits sought to be obtained in tie
peculiar method uow contemplated by the
Commissioners and by certain Senators who
are acting in the face of the most powerful
protests against the overhead trolley move
ment.
1t is said that tab on t he Commissioners
and their paternal regard for the Po-
tomac Light and Power Company has been
kept so well that all the appropriation
yct received by the company is 5000 for
the lighting OF lexington. a larger sum

The morning times., 1896-06-06

Tie news from the Senate District Com
mittce yesterday was that there was a
new legislative trick Incuhating in favor
OF tbs Potomac Light and Power Com
pany, the affairs OF which have engrossed
q very fair share of the attention OF the
Commissioners and some of its persona
friends in the Senate ever since last De
cember.
I'll, flrst eX hibition of favoritsm towards
this company was exposed by The Times,
which led to the tying OF the hands of THE
Commissioner by the court. aS they were
acting clearly without warrant OF either
custom or law. The authority assumed
by the Commissioners was the right 10
grant permits 10 the Potomac Light and
Power Company TO string overhead wires
without special legislation, and, acting
on this assumption, they permitted the
company to erect certain poles, which are
still standing in defiance or the court
Congress and everybody else.
TIL $ permit was intended to allow the
Potomac Light and Power Company to
make connection between Georgetown
and lexington, at the latter place being a
plant obtained by purchase or by lease
from Commissioners TruesdeiI.
Wicl, this was declared illegal the Com
mss;oners pressed the fight for the electric
light company. Bills We're prepared and
10 give the company what was denied by
the courts. The constant agitation of the
scheme, however, gave the disinterested
members OF the House and the Senate an
idea of the big deal behind the ostensibly
innocent proposed legislation, and all
hope for tn G passag geof any yspeclaliawsw wds
to ali appearances abandoned.
COME BACK TO LIFE.
Quite recently a part of the conspiracy
that was being hatChed up was seen when
the Senate was asked to give the Commits
sonerS the right to grant permits and 10
legalZe permits already granted There
waSar effortmade to Orairoadthislegisla latiOn
lthrCugi on the District appropriation bill,
but when it came up in the Senate IT was
knoCIe ed out on point of order.
The information as 10 yesterdays pro-
ceed:ngS indicates that tn e chene is by no
means dead. The statement was made
that il was discussed all over again in the
committee of conference and that it is
expected that the old scheme may be
presented at any time again in the Senate.
II is possible that IL will come up again III
the expiring hOurS OF the session, when the
opponents OF the trick may have been lulled
10 sleep by the apparent inactivity OF the
Commissioners
1t is said that Senator Harris was urgent
in his argument that the legislation go
through.
one of the arguments used was that the
peoplCofthe suburbs were crying for electric
light and heat. To this was opposed the
statement that in the city there are only
about $500 users of electric light aud of
this number only between forty and fifty
are for private residences. 1t was clearly
demu' strated that the real object of the
plot was for electric power for the overhead
trolley aud not for lighting or heating
because il was the most reasonable thing
to suppose that there would be an ex-
ceedugly small proportion of suburban
residents that would take the electric light,
and heating by electricity is the smallest
use t.. which that power is put.
